The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Mrs. Gertrude Smith,.

| home from Des Moines, was cleared up
! Sunday when her body was found In
the Iowa river, on the shore or River
view park. The body had been in the
river since early last Monday morning
when Mrs. Smith wandered away from
the home hospital in her night clothes.
While a searching party worked
above the dam, park visitor uneN-
pectedlyy discovered the body far below
the scene of the search. A bit of white
clinging TO brush at the rivers side
first attracted the attention of the dis
coverer. He passed on but he soon
recalled the disappearance of Mrs.
Smith and returned to the spot. he
made a closer observation and was
startled TO find the white bit was a
portion OF night clothing covering a
human body.
Body Quickly Recovered.
A telephone call TO the police station
and 10 Commandant B. G. Whitehill. OF
the home, soon brought rescue parties
to the scene. At 80 the police patrol
responded and Commandant Whitehill
arrived at about the same time.
Officer Coffulan. Driver Charles
Smith and DR.. W. S. Devine went TO
the scene in the patrol. taking rope
and poles. Work OF rescu1ng the body
was rather difficult because of the
high bank at this spot and the swift
current. The rope was slipped about
? he rr-riEt rau -r
plank and pulled up the BANK The
body was taken at once to the home
morgue.
Slippers and Glasses Missing.
At the time Of her disappearance
Mrs. Smith was clad only in her night
dress, petticoat and a pair Of red slip
| pers. She also wore glasses. The
| glasses and slippers were gone when
! the body was found. ABIDE from few
scratches and bruises the body was in
good condition.
Searchers, in charge OF Commandant
Whitehill. had dragged the river late
in the week in the hope Of finding the
body. The theory Of suicide or acct
dental drowning was accorded after
the first search Monday and Tuesday
| proved unsuccessful.
| Sunday morning the searchers drag
ged the river from the home to near
the dam.

An effort will be made to bring the
former kaiser before an international

offense of violating Belgian neutrality,
rather than attempting to extradite
him from Holland for criminal Of
lenses committed against Belgium.

law under which this could be done.
Japan supported Lansing and the COM

The attitude of the Japanese, how
ever, was based on their belief that in
dividual punishment of the former
kaiser would violate the precedent I'M
