calf, secretary of the State Council
for Defense and Iowa director of the
United States public service reserve,
explained the campaign to secure 300,
000 American workmen to work in the
shipyards of the United States. He
declared that the men were being en

present employment until the govern
ment needed them and that they were
not obligating themselves to go by en.

to the loyalty of American union men
in this world's crisis.

number of Germans in a first line

system.
Ground mist and rain have pre

Late this afternoon the Germans at
tempted to retaliate for the destruc
tion of the minenwerfer batteries.
They bombarded the American heavy
artillery with their biggest guns, but
their shooting had little effect.
American patrols were all over No
Man's land last night, but did not en
counter any Germans. The American
sector is now an ocean of mud and
constant work is necessary to keep
the trenches, gun pits and dugouts
free from water.
From information' reaching the
American lines it is apparent the
enemy is taking advantage of the low
visibility to do much work in his
positions. Noises impossible to sup
press and other information make this
certain. - . . ..

Some of. the newspapers back up
their arguments for Japanese action
by emphasizing the danger to British
interests in Asia from the threatened
Germanization of Russia. The dan
ger, they say, is equal to if not greater
than that menacing Japan, and the
Jowers recall the terms of the Anglo

quility in the far east.

the usual session and at times was
varied by comment from the examiner
or Mr. Heney. At its completion,
adjournment was taken until next
Monday.
No End in Sight.
No hint of the probable duration of
the inquiry was given, ine letters
and documents introduced this week
are all exclusive of the papers taken
from the private vault of Henry Vee
der of Swift and company by Mr.
Heney on a search warrant. Whether
these letters "from the vault" will be
presented in the investigation de
pends on the outcome oi an appeal to
the United States circuit court of ap
peals, by which Mr. Veeder is seek
ing io recover possession oi mc pa
i - L-
pers. The appeal is set for argument
next Wednesday.
Some of the documents read into
the record by Mr. Heney told of dif
ficulties in the inspection of govern
ment meat. From the Cudahy files
came a complaint from Colonel Knis-
kern of the quartermasters depart
ment that leaky cans were being in
cluded m shipments from bioux City,
with the remaTk that they were ap
parently being packed at night. Em
ployment of an alleged incompetent
inspector, who first rejected a certain
run of meat, then, it having been pre
sented again, passed halt of it, was
also referred to in the letters read
by Mr. Heney.
The name of John C Eversman,
who was referred to in letters read
earlier in the hearing as having been
employed by Wilson & Co. to rep
resent the firm at Washington, where
he has influential political friends, ap
peared again in connection with a re
jected consignment of hams to the
Navy department.
The correspondence, after detail
ing efforts to adjust differences over
the good condition of a large quan
tity of hams, told of referring the dis
pute to Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt and a letter to a Wil
son company official dated August 7,
1917, said "Wire Eversman to do.
nothing. He will get us in worse."
' The correspondence said that any
attempt to mix politics with the dis-
Eute over the ham shipment would
urt. '
The Wilson contention was that the
hams, several carloads of which were
rejected at Brooklyn, were packed in
accordance with navy specifications
and would keep the required four
months in any climate.
Rumbaugh Money Turned
Over to Clerk of Court
Mrs. Dorothy Elmira Rumbaugh,
wife of Jay V. Rumbaugh, an automo
bile salesman, alleges, in her petition
for separate maintenance, that she lift
ed her husband's "roll" rFiday morn
ing and deposited it in a down
town bank for safe keeping, .because
he was threatening to leave her.
Rumbaugh says the roll contained
$1,000 and that she took it r.ut of his
pants pocket while he was asleep.
With her attorney Mrs. Rumbaugh
appeared in Judge Troup's court after
depositing the cash and filing her peti
tion and suggested that the court de
cide what should be done with the
money. Judge Troup turned it over to
the clerk of the district court pending
a hearing on Mrs. Rumbaugh s peti
tion for separate maintenance. She al
leged that Rumbaugh has been threat
eninsr to desert her.
