GIVE MEDALS TO
LOCAL SHOOTERS
Trophies Earned Last Year by Mem
beers of Company A Team VIII be
Presented Monday.

Captain Edward Dunavin of Com
pany A this morning received from
the state officials at Springfield en-
blems of various degrees for the rifle
men Of his company. These medals are
for the members of the company who
met the qualifications last year and not
for those who recently passed the tests
at the local range. There has been
some delay in getting the emblems.
The presentations will be made Mon
day evening at the armory by Captain
Dunavin. The following men have
passed through all the tests as rifle
men and will receive emblems for
marksmen, sharp shooter and expert
rifemen; Captain Dunavin, Second
Lieutenant Moose and Priyates Ben
son, Jones, Vroman and Gustafson. A
number of other men will be present
ed with medals of one of the lower de-
grees.
Second Lieutenant Guy Moose is
happy today over the report that he
has passed the examinations which he
took last week when the 9Th regiment
examiners were here. He will now re-
cetve his commission.
The final selection for the local rife
team which will compete in the regi-
ment shoot Aug. Is has not been made
as yet but it Is almost certain that the
choice will be made from the follow
ing men; Moose, Jones, Woodin, Ben
sen, Campbell, Kahlke and Bos. Cap
tain Dunavin will not shoot on the
local team but will compete in the
trials for the regiment team. He should
have no trouble in securing a position
among the sixth regiment ridemen, as
he has been a member Of the team
coDsecutlvely since 1907. and in all
those years he has never finished lower

MANY INQUIRIES
ABOUT EASTLAND
So Far as Is Known Nobody From
This City Was Aboard Inflated
Vessel at Chicago.

News Of the Eastland catastrophe
at Chicago spread in Rock Island like
wtld-hre this morning and it was not
long until inquiries began pouring
into The Argus Office asking for the
latest news. While many Of the calls
came from those curious only because
Of the immensely Of the loss of life,
others were interested because OF
friends or relatives. whom they
thought might have been on board the
vessel at the time
Some Of those seeking information
asked if certain names were given in
the lists of those missing, and a rec
ord OF these was kept in The Argus
Office and when the dispatches bear
ing the lists were received the two
lists were compared.
Inquiry at the Offices Of electrical
contractors revealed that as far as
known no electrical employees having
worked in this city had gone to Chi
cago recently.
So far as was known at a late hour
there were no Rock Islanders on the
Eastland

URGES COTTON Be
HELDCONTRABAND
British Press Protests Against the In
action of the Government on the
Question.

London, July 24-The Times and
the Daily Mail again today urge the
government TO declare cotton contra
band and to undertake the scheme for
the purchase of the textile as outlined
by the Times yesterday. This plan con
tempIated the purchase by the govern
ment from the southern cotton ex-
changes Of the amount OF cotton that
would normally have gone to Ger
many and Austria-Hungary and also
of the cotton exports to Holland. DEN
mark, Norway, Sweden and Switzer-
land, at the same time declaring cotton
absolute contraband.
The Daily Graphic also complains of
the inaction Of the government on this
question and says the matter is becom-
ing a grave danger TO the country as,
unless something is done before the
new cotton crop is available, Germany
will be able 10 get all the cotton she
requires.
The Daily Mail in an editorial says:
1T viii be a gross public scandal
if this matter is not dealt with before
parliament rises, 10 save our soldiers"
The Times in an editorial dealing
with the position of the United States
generally. refers TO President Wilson S
third note to Germany and declares
