WAR INSURANCE
At CAMP DODGE
Policies Protecting 16,942
Officers and Men Have
Been Written

Camp Dodge, Ia, Feb. 2.-War in
surance to the amount Of $l57,411,-
600 has been taken out by officers
and men at this cantonment and
policies protecting a total Of 16,942
men have been written.
The reports made to Capt. Paul B.
MOrTissey, division insurance officer,
show that more than 80 per cent of
the men now in camp have taken
out policies, the average amount OF
which is $9.27S.
These figures will be revised later,
as in some OF the units policies
taken out by men who have since
been transferred to Camp Pike are
included in the total sum reported.
The 350th infantry, the northern
Iowa unit, has taken $6,l72, 500 in
insurance, and the 389th field artil-
Iery has taken out 37,374,50O. This
organiza ton includes most Of the
southern Iowa soldiers in camp.
1t is hoped to bring the oTganiza-
ton to the 100 per cent mark by
Feb. 1, with all men either being
insured or having signed state
ment that they do not desire insur-
ance.

organization last week. A total OF

was explained TO him.

st. Louis, Mo. Feb. 2.-The obvious
target that a bald head offers to Teu-
ton sharpBhooters was assigned by All
army Ofhcer here as a vital reason
why men minus hair on their heads
should be exempted from military
service unless they can be used Tn
some branch that does not call for
exposure to the enemy
Capt. G. II. Jenkins, in charge of Al
ambulance company at Camp Funston
gave this advice when speaking e
members Of local exemption boards.
.Baldheaded men are not aItoRethaF
welcome" Captain Jenkins said. They
present shining target for the ane-s
my and besides they cannot with
stand cold. They would make admir-
able decoys but thus far we have not
felt the need OF using hairless heads
for that purpose"
Further advice offered by the can
tain was that men with index fingers
missing or with as many as two toes
should not be accepted. He
explained that IL has already cost the
thousands OF dollars to
return men to their homes who are

ing mastery in her own house. OF
fifty millions Of people in the AustrO-
Hungarian empire at least half are
Slavonic now, and it is only with
extreme difficulty that the German
and Magyar minorities are able to
keep control, always with the aid OF
and at the price of concessions to
the Poles.
Not even the desire to annex Ser
bia is to be found in the current
Austrian press, for this would also
bring a considerable fresh Slav ele-
ment in and add to the difficulties OF
dealing with the southern Slavs, who
are now Austrian subjects, Austria
has no immediate imperialistic am
bitiens. She is temporarily freed
from all the dangers that led her
TO risk war nearly four years ago
Any annexation on any frontier
would weaken her, and her states
men recognize this. Save on the
Italian side, no real claim is now
made on any Of her territory by her
enemies-and the Italian claim has
been measurably weakened by re-
cent Italian disasters. II Austria is
to continue the war 1t must be solely
for German ends. Granted that her
statesmen are willing, will they re-
main so? And will her people for
long endure their present agonies?
It seems hardly likely. Rather il
is to be expected that there will be

nothing is more probable than that

But such a breach would trans
form the whole war situation. 1t
would destroy NIitteleuropa, because
it would end the physical contact Of
would leave Germany isolated in the
presence Of her greatest foes,
France, Britain and the United
States. and 1t would terminate all
possible chance of any great gain
for Germany in the war, except at
the expense OF Russia. 1t would mean
that Turkey, and even Bulgaria,
would have to make terms with the
sea powers and all Of the larger am
bitions Of Germany would be de-
stroyed.
This is the great fact in the Aus
trian situation, il seems to me. Rus
sian events and recent campaigns
have freed Austria from the German
yoke. She can get along by herself.
She needs no German help. The al
lance with Germany becomes now
a clear liability; there is no great
Austrian issue at stake, save so far
as Italy is concerned, and with this
Austria has the resources to deal,
holding Italian territory as she
does. Clearer and clearer every day
becomes the evidence that the Aus
trian people demand peace. And

domestic desire moving along similar
lines neither sentimental nor moral OBJ

sTRUCK A WOLF NIINE.

t1Y XAEbOGAALEu .AIAENA.J
Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 2.-Five wolves
were killed in Polk county in one day
recently by II. III. Ebert farmer, VINO
collected a bounty Of $50 apiece for
the pelts
EIbert saw a wollx run across the
field one night, went to the house and
got a gun. He tracked the animal to
a hole in a nearby fence corner. Then
proceeded to dig the wolf out. To
his surprise, he encountered five
wolves instead Of one when he com
pleted his excavations. Three Of the
animals were killed with clubs and
the other two shot before they could
get away.

men Of a nation from taking the
obvious course.
We are fighting against the Ger
man conception OF world empire
which Germany has sought tC
achieve by force and violence. We
must fight until all the conquered
races are freed-Belgian, French
Polish. Serb, Italian, Rumanian. Bui
the cornerstone of the whole Ger
man edifice is the German domina-
tion Of Austrian policy, and il the
cornerstone crumbles the edifice Is
doomed And we shall not exagger-
ate the present condition If we as
sert that this stone is crumbling
We may expect too much and expect
it too soon, but in the larger view
IL is safe to expect very much.
Austrian Events Most Hopeful.
To me the Austrian events seem
the most hopeful signs for the allied
cause which have been discoveraOie
since the Russian collapse. The loss
of Austria would be far more ter
rible for Germany than the collapse
OF Russia was for the allies, since
there is no United States 10 replace
Austria on the German side. And
Austria will, II seems inevitable, be
lost as an active participant in the
war IL Germany continues the strug-
gle for selfish ends for many months
more. Austria will not join the al
lies: she will not close her
frontiers to Germany; she will
supply her with what she can Of
guns and munitions, but she will not
rollow her leadership, nor obey her
commands Indefinitely.
Therefore, if Germany hopes to
gain her ends she must gain them
with little delay; she must crush
her western foes before ths Austrian
affair gives them comfort and dis
courages her own people. Time has
again turned against the German, 1t
seems to me, and time has been such
a tickle friend all through the war!
Hence | look for an acceleration OF
the pace Of German preparation for
attack on the west front and an
early opening of the campaign Of
1918. You can look back to the Ma
poleonic period and see, when his
fortunes began to darken, how one
after another of his allies departed,
not all willingly, many with regrets
but all because the safety and in
terest Of their own nations required
it.
Austrian interests are no longer
German. German control Of Austria
is no longer assured by Austrian
dangers. These two things are GER
tain. Add TO this the growing in
sistence of all reports that the Aus
trian populace is stirring, and 1t
seems to me you have one of the
most important and significant de-
velopments Of the war, perhaps the
most important, since Russia went
into CONFUSION. That convulsion
nearly wrecked the allied cause.

ing side lights on the conditions
that exist in the domain Of our

There are all kinds Of crippled
soldiers coming into the city, and
most Of them are pitiful sights.
OF course, the worst Of them we
never see because they are unable
to walk around.
"The government has had very
bad results from it's CONSUMPTION
act. The conscripted army for
the whole of Canada only amounts
to little over 10000. They fig
ured on 10000 at least. Over
1000 have been arrested for evad
ing the draft.
"A returned soldier was heard
TO remark recently that Glands
were playing and people cheer
ing when we went away but
when we came back there was
not murmur." Some of them
thought they were heroes but
have apparently discovered tho
they are not. All the returned
soldiers are organized. There
are radical organizations and con-
servative organizations. One
bunch calls itself the "Great War

CAPITALISTS

The radical revolutionary So

Russia who have been resisting
the Germans invasion. Don't lose
sight of that fact. The capital
lists, big and little of that country
meet the invaders with open
arms and great sobs of unadult-
Grated joy. Remember that also.
so keep careful tab on those
editors and those lying sheets in
this country, who are reviling and
sneering at the Bolsheviki and
their heroic efforts TO maintain
the fruits of their revolution.
For the profit mongers of this
country are secretly in sympathy
with the German military move
ment against Russia. and there
is a reason why the hired brain
prisoners of the press and pull
pit should uphold the interests
of the group who slip them their
thirty pices of silver. 1t their
hogatee masters are given a
severe jolt in the region of their
excess profits and surplus in

even during this war. II you

working class toward complete
determination.

Of murder!
