Des Moines January 4. Iowa’s draft figures for Camp Dodge show 66 percent of the Eighty eighth division's estimated men in camp by December 7, with many sent to other units or awaiting final examination. Officials say lack of slackers, but shifting troops and processing delays created the apparent shortfall, not citizen wilfulness.

Kaiser Lover Captured for Attacking Woman in War Argument
Des Moines reports Fred Orph, a German alien enemy working as a sanction hand in Denison, assaulted Mrs. Pat O Connell during a heated war argument, knocked out four teeth, and has been captured by federal authorities. He will be interned at Leavenworth's traitor stockade. Orph allegedly made treasonous utterances and was a boarder at the Denison foreman's home. The incident followed a neighbor visit and a sharp exchange over Germany and Kaiser. Meanwhile Howard County’s draft board is advancing, joining Cherokee and Washington counties in arranging government remuneration for services, with Maj. R W Snell noting December's expenses as none for Howard County.
