Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1915-04-24

When Colonel Bankhead of the Brit
ish army went 10 fight with the allies
in Belgium his daughter. Gladys, in
sisted on going also 10 the front as a
nurse. The colonel endeavored to per
suade her. but she was girl Of strong
Will and strong character, and his OBJ
jections proved futile.
About the time the war broke out
Thomas Faxon. an American, came of
age. His mother. a widow. had previ-
ously had the whiphand OF him. for
his fortune had been left TO her in trust
for him until he should attain his ma
jority. Meanwhile Mrs. Faxon con-
tinued TO regard her son as child, and
when he was twelve years OF age he
was in care OF a nurse who the moment
he started in for some boyish sport that
would soil his clothes or by which he
might possibly get hurt would clap
her hands on him and drag him away.
Tommy. as he was called. while he
occasionally rebelled against such
treatment. could not help being lamen-
tsbly affected by IL. Indeed, so maiden
" did he appear that no one would
suspect there was a spark OF manliness
IN him. However. Tommy became the
possessor OF his estate just before the
war broke out abroad, shifting the air
OF liberty and OF battle at the same
time. He resolved 10 go abroad and
see what was going on So accustomed
was he 20 obeying his mother that II
was with great difficulty that he broke
away from her. but once the breach
had been effected he struck out with
what mRnllness there was naturally In
him. mingled with the feminine effects
OF his training.
One dag Tom turned up on the north
ern coast OF France occupied by the
English army. He told soldier that
he wanted 10 enlist. The man looked at
the Immediately dressed Tommy, with
difficulty depressing a smile at his spats
and kid gloves, and pointed to the quar-
tiers OF Colonel Bankhead. Tommy pro
ceeded there and found the colonel with
his daughter, who was in Red Cross
uniform.
Il want 20 be q soldier" said Tom.
The colonel looked at him in surprise,
asked him II be knew anything about
soldering and when answered in the
negative told him he had better go to
England and enlist there to be trained.
This didn't please Tommy, and he de-
clined the advice. Then spoke up Miss
Bankhsad;
Il think the gentleman would be OF
more use as a Red Cross nurse"
Now, Miss BanlShead was a very
comely young woman. and Tommy
who was like a bird that had just left
the paternal nest, was ready TO wing in
any direction that pleased bis fancy.
Thank you very much" he said,
with a low bow. Can you tell me
where 10 go to work =

War has worked a greater disturb
ance in the production OF diamonds
than almost of any other commodity"
says a bulletin just issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society. Not only
has the cutting of these gems almost
ceased, but the largest diamond mines
in the world have been shut down
since last August. More than 80 per
cent OF the annual diamond output
comes from South Africa, from mines
within the war area whose operation
has been suspended. II is feared in
Belgium that the Antwerp diamond
cutting industry has been ruined past
repair; the Rue de Pelican has been
deserted. In Amsterdam. the other
great diamoRd-cutting and polishing
center. work has almost completely
halted. The work rooms Of London
and Paris are reported to be as quiet
as those of the Dutch.
Diamond production is of consider
able geographical localization. The
stones were produced through the cen
turtles in India, and many are still
mined there, though few of this out
put leaves the country. Likewise, the
diamond production of South Amer
lea IS OF little Importance in connec-
ton with the worlds supply. South
Africa is the great diamond source,
and the greatest part of its product
is purchased by the diamond syndi-
cate, with headquarters in London,
which takes the entire product of the
De Beers Consolidated Mines. Ltd.
This syndicate through its centralized
control Of the diamond industry has
been able TO fix the worlds price for
these rare gems.
The machinery by which the nice
balance between supply and demand
necessary to the maintaining of dia-
monds in superior relationship to
other commodities of life was devised
by Cecil Rhodes. Many millions of
dollars worth of these stones were
taken each year at the mines near
the premier mine in the
Transvaal. and the mines of German
Southwest Africa. II is estimated that
the total diamond production of the
mines of South Africa has reached the
enormous sum of $3.50, 100000. In a
single year. 1913. the combined out
puts of the De Beers and the Premier
mines amounted in value to S57 .00O,-
600. while German Southwest Africa
produced during the same year dia-
monds valued at S10,750,0 600. The
United States takes the largest per i
of these gems.
Some of the wealthiest houses in !
Europe are included among the man |
ayers of the diamond syndicate. a |
great amount OF capital has been tied 1
10 in the quantities of stones held 4
back from the market by the syndicate |
in order that prices might be main |
tanned. There is, therefore. little i
cause for fearing that those who have i
he money and the desire to buy need |
feel the effects of a diamond famine
rhe diamond surplus from the years
IF peace will likely cover any demands
which may be made during the war
line. The demand for diamonds in
his country, according TO experts, is
