Harding Urges Local Officers To Aid Nation
Gov. W L Harding called for patriotic sentiment and close cooperation among local, state, and federal authorities to stamp out disloyalty in Iowa. He urged officials to deter dissension under the guise of free speech, promote English use, and build loyalty through patriotic organizations while warning there are two classes of people in the nation. The plan aims to empower communities to enforce loyalty and monitor unpatriotic acts in the wartime climate.

London Expects German Peace Offer This Fall
London reports a likely German peace offer before winter seeking a status quo halt to hostilities. Officials say Germany hopes to avert revolution at home while Entente powers reject terms, and U.S. entry has shifted the war's economic focus. A peaceful draw on July 1914 lines is discussed with concern over postwar unrest if industry and food fail to recover. Hoover calls corn meal the cheapest nutritious food, urging more bread with meat.
