PRETENDED TO
BE TRAITOR TO
HELP BELGIUM
Heroism of Family Which
Solved Gas Mask Sec
ret Revealed.

London, March Edwards have
just been made to two Belgian
women, Madame Clement and her
sister, Mile. Marie D'Have, and
posthumously to their father,
Theophile D'Have, for giving to
the Belgian general staff details
Of the first German gas mask.
Posing as prO-German. NJ
D'Have was able to send one Of
his daughters to ,Havre, then the
Belgian great headquarters, with
a design of the mask concealed in
her dress.
She went by way of Holland and
at the Dutch frontier she was
searched for four hours in vain.
Had the document been found she
would have been shot. Altogether
Mile. D'Have crossed the frontier
80 times until, at the end of 1915
she thought it would be safer to
remain in Holland.
So well did the father pose as a
pro- German that his neighbors
hated him and their behavior to
him hastened his death from heart
disease.
At the time OF the armistice a
crowd tried to burn down his
house.

Liverpool, March 2o.-The Daily
Post, commenting editorially on the
action of the United States senate
in adopting new treaty reserva-
ton expressing sympathy for the
aspirations Of the Irish people and
declaring the hope that Ireland
would have a government Of its
own choosing in the near future,
says:
THE American senate has surely
overstepped the bounds of good
sense, to say nothing of good taste.
in adopting a reservation to the
peace treaty ON Ireland. 1t has as
much as said it will welcome the
emergence of Ireland into full in
dependence. That is hardly neigh
borly. Moreover. it is an example
Of the kind OF international med
ding which the senate processes to
condemn in. the covenant OF the
League of Nations.

COAL men Give
UP FOR TRIAL

by a special grand jury on charges
of conspiracy to violate the Lever
act by enhancing the price Of fuel
and Of defrauding the United States
government, surrendered them
selves to the United States marshal
at Indianapolis. today. The men
are Edwin d. Logsdon; B. E. Neal
and w. H. Tobin Of Indianapolis; /;
and William Zeller, Brazil, Indiana.
The men were released on $4,000
bond each.
The first arrest since the indict-
ments were returned against 125
coal miners and operators several
weeks ago was made yesterday
when Carl G. Fletcher of Indian
apolis, surrendered himself. Other
operators were expected to surre1-
der or be arrested today.

Irish Stand of Senate

Sort Senators Oppose

not to be taken quite seriously.
They are, in fact, mere concessions
to the Irish extremists in the Unit
ed States; the senate has long
shown a quick responsiveness to
Irish pull None the less. they
have undoubted element of danger.
Unhappily there are hysterical
patriots among US who may be
easily worked up by certain inter-
ested writer's and speakers to re-
sentiment of American interference
with purely British affairs. This is
fact that the senator's would do
we'll to remember. especially at the
moment when it is of vital import
ance to the world that Anglo-Amer-
ican relations should be most
cordial.
Taken As Warning.
AT the same time. the senate's
unfortunate reservation ought to
warn our own government of the
serious consequences further
.shilly-shillahing' with the Irish
question is likely to entail. Truly.
the Irish question is International. !"

Bets Freely Offered That 1t Will

The announcement by the Asso-
ciated Press last night that the CEN
sus figures for Rock Island would

petus to the betting as to what the
exact population is, as will be given

growing interest all day on this
account. The Associated Press

estimates that are made in Rock
Island. ranging from 10000 to &c.

mark, while one claims to have re-

HOW MEREDITH
GOT INSIGHT IN
u. S. BUSINESS
Thought He Could Be
Frank With Congress,
But He Walked Up.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus).

Washington, d. c., March 90
Edward T. Meredith, editor, adver-
tising man, promoter of large en-
terprises-in a word a successful
business man-has just had the en-
thusiasm with which he took hold
of the department of agriculture
blanketed with the cold hand Of
congress.
Mr.. Meredith, who halls from Des
Moines, Iowa, and that part Of the
United States where candor is
religion, thought that all he had
to do in dealing with congress was
to tell the members Of senate and
house exactly what sums of money
were actually needed to carry on
| the extensive work of the depart
ment Of agriculture and that the
interests Of the farmer would be
sufficient to stimulate members of
congress irrespective Of politics.
But the house slashed the esti-
mates of the department Of agri-
culture and while the senate COM
mittee undid some of the damage
by raising the appropriations some
what. the secretary feels that the
net reduction is a severe blow to
the agricultural interests of the
country. He is now on the job,
intensely interested in managing
the department of agriculture on a
business-like basis and is therefore
disappointed. Here are some of the
things which he regretfully admits
must now be discontinued unless
the senate itself corrects the work
of its agricultural committee:
Market Service Cut.
There must be big cut in the
market service, one of the activi-
ties most appreciated by growers
and shippers.
Dairy investigations consisting Of
/ vaiuabie aid being given the dairy
interests of the country in working
out better methods of preparing
and utilizing dairy products and
the development of American man
ufacture of Roquefort and Swiss
cheese must be curtailed.
| Appropriations for the investiga-
ton Of cereals have been reduced.
They relate to the development of
improved varieties Of cereals

At the foreign office today the
view was that while the German
situation was grave. it might have
been exaggerated by the official
German news agencivs and also by
the government with the view Of
obtaining a delay in disarmament
and the retention of larger army
than is provided for by the peace
treaty, which stipulates that the
army is to be reduced to 100000
men by April 10. and to 100000 by
July 10.
Refuse Ministry Places.
Three portfolios in the new cab
met have been offered to the inde-
pendent socialists, who have refus-
ed them asking for greater repre-
sentation in the ministry.
The foreign Office advices de-
clare the Ebert government appar-
emily is convinced that collabora-
ton by the socialists is indispensa-
BILE but that the latter are placing
such a price upon it as to make
such collaboration virtually impos-
sible.

CATION of the charges.
Expected to Appeal.
Whether Senator Newberry, in
view of his conviction, will continue
his duties in the senate pending a
final decision of his case by the
courts is a matter for his own dis
cretion, senators said. Senate lead
ers had been advised by Mr.. New
berry that in event of conviction he
would carry an appeal to the Unit
ed States supreme court, if neces-
sary.

government proof that Newberry
had taken an active part in the
campaign and shown by his own
writings that he directed almost
every important move"
The jurors would not discuss the
number of ballots taken but said
that early in the proceedings they
agreed to that a conspiracy had
existed. From this point they went
