Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1915-05-07

A stagecoach was bowling along ovsl
a road on the plains they beins
that portion Of the continent lying be
tween the Missouri river and the
Rocky mountains. There were hall
a dozen passengers inside the coach
half OF whom were ladies, and i've
men outside. Four OF the outsiders
were OF the toughest element of the
region. which In those days was not a
all smooth. On the seat with the driv-
or sat a man In a checkerbosrd suit.
The four men In his rear were talk
ing In a vein not at all appropriate for
the ears Of ladies and so loudly that
they could easily be heard in the coach
below. The man in the checkerboard
suit upon hearing very coarse remark
turned and looked at the man who
made II, but said nothing.
My young friend" said the man look
ed at. do you see anything TO admire
in my appearanceF
Il don't see anything TO admire in
your language"
The man hitched a revolver around
from his hip, saying. What dye think
o. thaty''
Il have no use for firearms; never
carry 'em myself"
The other clinched his fst- What
dye think o THAR"
"Oh. that's something I can under
stand. I carry those tools myself"
Well. then. if you find anything
more about me you don't like you'll
get IL behind the ear"
The checkerboard man made no re
ply 20 this, but when the other launch
ed forth another coarse remark, accom-
panied by an oath. the former turned
and said IN a subdued voice:
4 say. my friend, you want to talk
I'm a way that is unpleasant TO my sen
sitive ears. We can't both have our
own way. How would it do for US TO
stop the coach. get down and have a
friendly set-to TO settle the matterF"
What, A little whippersnapper Ike
you fight n six footer like me! I'd spoI
your clothes"
.Oh. that won't matter can take
them OF above the waist"
Go him, jim said one OF the other
men.
Go him, why, eff I'd hit him real
hard I might break him He's too

Jim's companions were anxious 20
see mill and insisted upon his ac-
cepting the challenge The coach was
halted. The two principals walked
a short distance from IT, followed by
most OF the men inside and outside,
while the driver remained on the box
and the ladies crowded to the win
dow. The checkerboard man threw OF
his cost and vest. while his antagonist
remained IN wooden shirt and trousers
tucked In his boots. One of the men

Correspondence OF The
/ Associated Press Moving pictures
have been unequal TO the occasion. the
press and the public declaring thai
they have done little to either portray
or exalt patriotic sentiment. Elk
plorers OF films blame the censor
while the censor reports that produC-
ers of picture-plays lack proper in
l spiration. Cinematograph directions
gave a private view of films exhibited
/ in other countries and even in some OF
/ the French provincial cities, but pro-
hlbited in Paris, to prove their case.
( Among the things TO which the pre-
/ feet OF police objected were scenes OF
/ German prisoners captured in the
Vinay Woods near Epernay. German
I prisoners at the camp of Anglers, a
French village showing tombs of Ger
man soldiers after a battle, films de-
picting the destruction of churches and
villages by fire and bombardment, be
sides numerous picture-plays present
ing soldiers and Red Cross uniforms
not in actual service.
The general opinion OF the notabili-
ties invited to this representation was
that the censor was perfectly justified
in cutting out imaginary war and hos
pital scenes, holding that they were
unworthy to represent the heroism and
devotion of the soldiers and nurses.
A contrary opinion was held, however,
regarding certain films of actual hap
penings The result has been that the
government has authorized four rep
resentative cinematograph concerns
TO take moving pictures of war scenes
at the front In the meantime moving
picture houses are depending largely
upon old films TO entertain their pub
lie. which is gradually growing
smaller.
French wit has always found a
wide field of effort in the caricaturing
of public OF all grades and depart
ments. Martial law has given the lat
ter their first opportunity to revenge
themselves. Any film rejecting up
on. belittling or holding up 10 ridi-
cule any functionary of the govern
ment is pitilessly censored.
The result OF the limitations put up
on directors of moving picture houses |
has been TO give unusual prominence |
to American films.

uniform. But instead Of suffering from
state politics, as in America, the Brit
/ ish service is directly under the war
| department, which appoints the col
onel in command. The colonel in turn,
/ passes on the qualifications Of the Of
! ficers. who receive commissions from
/ the war office. This method>of officer
I ing the territorials is much more ef-
! fectiye both as to discipline and ef-
I ficiency than the American method Of
| letting the men elect their own Off
/ GERS on the basis of personal popular
ity instead of professional fitness.
Territorials in time of peace enlist
for home service only. But by the sim
pie process of volunteering for for
eign service, they become volunteers
without the elaborate process OF trans
ferring accounts from state 10 federal
government as in vogue in the United
States, which involves q vast amount
of clerical work and red tape.
In the present war, over so per cent
OF the territOrials are known 70 have
volunteered ana of these the larger
part are already serving I'm France or
Egypt They enlist under the general
volunteer act for three years or the
end of the year.
One advantage of the territorial
army over the regulars lies i'm the
various kinds OF skilled men in the
ranks, who with little training ca*
turn their trades or professions 10 the
use of war. The territorial supply OF
doctors has been q needed help.
When a foreign service battalion is
