German Seeks to Fight for Germany Under Espionage Probe
Hamilton County authorities report John Harms of Independence Township allegedly refused liberty bonds, boasted German citizenship, and would fight for Germany if able. Affidavits from W H Wehrheim and T C O Connor corroborate the claims, now sent to U.S. District Attorney for action under the espionage act. In related notes, Waverly doctor Dr. W A Rohlf joins the military medical corps, and Sgt. Mark A Pooley of Webster City is reported killed in action in France. A Kimballton boy, 14, Jacobsen, dies when an automobile overturns during a ride.
