During his brief stay here Brig.
Gen. Pierce gave two public addresses.
At one of these he said that the Ger
mans asked for the armistice for no
other reason than that their armies
were thoroughly beaten. He said that
had hostilities continued three weeks
longer the Germans would have SUI
fered the greatest disaster that ever
befell an army. as a drive was in pre-
paration south of Metz which would
have resulted in the German army be-
ing put entirely out of France.

FRAUDS IN w. s. s. SALES.
Steamed Oh Original Cards and Pasted
on New by Spectators.

Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines. April 9.-Steaming off
of thrift and war savings stamps from
the original cards and re- stampinc
on others Is the latest scheme OF
swindlers to get the government
stamps for less than their value from
credulous present holders, who are
told the stamps are not worth what
they cost In Chicago a regularly es-
tablished swindling game is in opera :,
ton and instances have been found
where but 1886 was paid for stamps
now worth s4.27.
To combat this accumulation of war
savings stamps by unauthorized per-
sons. which represent a loss to TIE
original buyer of the government Sc
curities postmasters have been noti-
fled to strictly enforce all rules and
regulations involving the war and
thrift stamps.
This practice is absolutely Grim
inal.' said Postmaster George A..
Huffman today, when ii is considered
that If holders must sell their stamps
they can get full value and interest
at the nearest postoffice.
The swindlers should remember
that no one is allowed to hold more
than $1,000 worth Of the stamps.
Trouble is in store for the viola tors
of the war saving stampslaw and sew
eral cases are now under investisa-
ton.
The stamps can not depreciate in
value and anyone who spreads in
formation contrary to- this. or obtains
these valuable securities under pre-
tense that they have dropped in value.
are open to severe punishment under
the war act
Rules under which Iowa postmas-
tiers will be asked to proceed against
all swindlers buying war savings or
thrift stamps under false pretenses
are:
That no person may hold more than
$1,000 worth of stamps.
THAT the right to refuse payment
to persons other than rightful hold
ers may be exercised.
That purchasers obtaining stamps
from holders thru fraud may be pro-
secuted"
There are 100000 holders of war
savings and thrift stamps in Iowa
whom it is sought to protect thru the
aid of the newspapers of the state.

Dubuque Physician Again Accused OF
Performing illegal Operations.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Dubuque. April DIR. c. Allen
Snyder prominent local physician
went on trial here yesterday afternoon
on a charge of first degree murder In
connection with the death OF Mrs
Francis Gayne of East Dubuque ILL.,,
who died in Dubuque hospital as
result of an illegal operation said to
have been performed by the physician.
Mrs. Gayne was % years old and the
mother Of three children. DIR. Snyder
has been at liberty since his preiim-
mary hearing on bonds of $4,000.
There Is great interest in the case
as the physician had been convicted
few months before of murder in the
second degree. The first case grew
out of the death OF Mrs. DeForest
Wolfe. OF Lansing. who died here rol-
lowing an alleged illegal operation
said to have been performed by Or.
Snyder. The physician was out on
bonds at the time he was arrested
charged with the murder of Mrs.
G;ayne. The first case has been APP
pealed and the doctor was allowed his
freedom pending a decision by the
supreme court.
An affidavit signed by the East Du-
buque. woman. in which, it is said. she
absolved DR. Snyder from all blame in
the matter and confesses she commit
ted the alleged operation herself, Is
expected TO play a prominent part In
the case. Mrs. Gayne is >also said to

But the words of Hans Frederick

that he may now never be4permitted

of Des Moines The government has
decreed that an alien enemy who had
asked exemption from military service

could not become citizen of the
United States, and Poehl admitted on
the stand that he had done that very
thing.
1t was the first instance in which
such ruling was ever placed in effect
in the local courts. 1t will probably
prevent Poehl from ever becoming an
American citizen. 1t will prevent him
from voting and enjoying other ad-
vantages that are held by a citizen.
II did not claim exemption as an

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless). is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoonsfuls
will make an abundance of rich. creamy
Iather and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out east
~. and removes every particle Of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap.
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.
