The clash which occurred last
week between American troops and
Mexicans, on Mexican soil, and in
which one American officer and sew
eral soldiers were killed in addition
to a large number of Mexicans, re-
minds us of the fact that sooner or
later Uncle Sam is going to admin
lister proper punishment to Caranza
and his followers-and this is no
German propaganda, nor are we
afraid that Japan will eventually
turn against the Allies,

WHITEHEAD HOME DAMAGED.
Fire in Attic Destroys Roof and Water
DAMAGE Results.

Fire in the attic of the Charles H.
Whitehead home, 10S North Third
street. shortly after noon today, did
damage amounting to several hundred
dollars to the house. The contents of
the lower floor escaped damage, but
some of the effects up stairs were dam
aged by water. Chief Ellis, of the fire
department, thinks defective electric
light wires to have been responsible,
and all indications pointed to the fire
having started within the attic rather
than on the roof
Mrs. Whitehead was alone at home,
writing letters, when informed by
neighbors that the roof was ablaze.
Famed by high north wind, the
flames made rapid progress, and it was
fortunate that the firemen were able to
keep the blaze confined to the building
where it originated. The dwelling is
owned by Mrs. Whitehead's father,
George Whitton. The loss is fully pro-
tected by $4,000 insurance. The dam
age to the contents is also covered by
insurance.

ISSUES NEAT SOUVENIR.
Sketch Book Of Cleveland Indians Dis
trihuted by President Dunn.

SIhaSO0 Wy iSSiNS's Se''s
President j. C. Dunn, of the Cleve-
land American League baseball club,
has issued a souvenir booklet, bearing
the title Sketch Book of the Cleve-
land Indians" which he is distribut-
ing among his friends and the
friends Of the Cleveland club. The
booklet is of forty eight pages, printed
on heavy book paper, with a neat
cover in three colors and contains the
pictures of the members Of the team,
with their baseball records and other
interesting data concerning the club.
The Indian service flag shows eight
stars, and among the men in the SER
vice Is Chester Torkelson, formerly Of
the Marshalltown pitching staff, now
stationed at the Preside, San Fran
cisco.
Two former Central Association
players appear as members of the
club, and their pictures and playing
records are included. These men are
Harry Lunte, Cleveland recruit,
one time member Of the Burlington
and Marshalltown clubs, and William
Wambsganss, former Cedar Rapids in
fielder.
President Dunn's picture occupies
the second page Of the booklet while
opposite the following with reference
to the Indian president appears:

cipal owner Of the Indians. gets credit

put Cleveland back on the baseball
map. He is a native Of MARSHALL town,

ness there and later went to Chicago,
forming the Dunn Mccarthy Con-
struction Company, which has done a
lot of construction and railroad work.
always a baseball enthusiast, Mr..
Dunn came forward in 1916 and
bought the Cleveland club, which at
that time looked like the most unat-
tractive Of propositions. His first act
was to assure the clubs clientele that
if there was any way Of strengthening
the club it would be done, and imme-
diately learning that Gandil had been
placed on the market by Washington,
he outbid everybody else and bought
that player, who had been in the habit
of being perniciously active in the
games against the Tribe.
"Mr. Dunn took the rubber off his
bank roll when he found iris Speaker
could be purchased, and has expended
money literally since then for major
and minor league talent.
"MS. Dunn looks at the game OF
baseball just like the game Of life
that if you stick, you will succeed"
