Death Is Chosen by Lot.


BERLIN, via London. Oct Twenty
four aviators volunteered for mission
that meant certain death. according to A
story told by wounded officer with the
right wing Of the German army in France.
This Is the story:
"In one OF the battles around Rheimn II
became necessary to blow up a bridge
which was about to be crossed by ad-
vancing French troops coming to relieve
a beleaguered fort. The only way to de-
stroy the bridge was for an airman TO
swoop down and drop an exceptionally
powerful bomb upon u.
There were twenty-four n'ers with
that army. a volunteer was asked for,
II being frst announced that tho required
task meant certain death To the man un-
dertaking II.
Every ono OF the twenty-four stepped
forward without hesitation. Lots were
quickly drawn. The chosen man departed
without saying farewell TO any one. Within
Ave minutes the bridge was in ruins and
the aeroplano and It's heroic pilot had
been blown to pieces. This incident has
not been published In the press OF Ger
many because OF the fear that II would
cause terrible anxiety TO the wives OF all
married German hiers"

C.J.SMITH COMES
OUT FOR SHERIFF
Police Magistrate Announces
His Candidacy for Demo
cratic Nomination.

Charles J. Smith, who is serving his
second term as police magistrate OF
this city, today makes formal an
nouncement of his candidacy for the
democratic nomination for sheriff of
Rock Island county. He has been
pretty well over the county in a pre-
liminary canvass and is greatly en-
couraged by the outlook.
Mr. Smith is one of the wheel
horses of local democracy and since
he became voter has always taken
his part in promoting the party
cause. After serving as a member of
the city council. under the aldermanic
form of government, he entered the
race for the police magistracy, and
won handily over his republican OPP
ponent. When his term expired he
was renominated by his party and re-
elected by the people. an unusual COM
pliment to one filling this trying po-
sition.
Mr.. Smith is a printer by trade, and
in addition to his official duties finds
time to keep his hand in" For years
he was employed on the newspapers
of Moline, and when he came to Rock
Island he established a job printing
shop on Third avenue between Six
teenth and Seventeenth streets. He
has conducted the shop seven years,
and still operates it. He is an active
member of Tri-City Typographical
union, having affiliated with that or
ganization 81 years ago.
His long experience in dealing with
the unfortunate and criminal classes,
Mr.. Smith feels, peculiarly equips
him for the requirements of the
shrievality. and he promises, in the
event of his election. TO give an ad-
that will be a credit to
himself and to the county.
