Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-01-13

General Sir W. r. Birdwood is the
man who deserves the credit for the
successful withdrawal Of the British
forces from the Gallipoli Peninsula
In a recent report to the British war
office General Ian Hamilton, former
ly in command of the forces at CALI
poll, tells some of the reasons why
this campaign, with victory in its
grasp, failed. He points out that the
failure was in no way due to General
Birdwood, but to the failure OF
Kitchener to send men at the crucial
time, to the failure of the navy to
land troops where needed, to the
failure Of General Stopford to act
when he might have crushed the
half-beaten Turks, and to the short
age Of water.

twenty boys responded. This number
required the forming of three patrols,
as a patrol is usually composed OF eight
members. The patrols form troop.

much as though the building itself
We're situated right at our front door
Mr.. Kennard was asked to explain
the needs of good high school. He
said three things We're necessary
teachers, pupils and money. In the
first place. If we are to have a good

ates, that the building shall be prop
erly equipped In order TO secure the
$500 bonus for each grade maintained
atove the eighth grade there must be
an average daily attendance of not
less than four pupils in each grade.
Mr.. Kennard also read an opinion from
the department of education of the
State OF Washington. as follows:
Districts "a and 81, If joined with
you in your Union High School, would
not have to assume your bond of in
debtedness of s11,50O They will, how
ever, of course. share in the future
expenses to the Union High School
District. Very truly yours. Josephine

When asked for figures. Mr.. Kennard
stated that the special levy for run
ming expense for District Union ] last
year was eight mills. part of which
was for equipment of the new building.
This year the running expense has
been reduced to six and one half mills.
Also, he gave an estimate covering
the cost OF maintenance of the school
for the next year of districts "a and
"a joined the Union High School, and
also Il a teacher for manual training
was added. and stated that the tax to
cover THIS amount would be six and one
fourth mills.
Mr.. ST. John, having spoken at a
previous meeting, simply tried to en-
force one point, l. e., that the attend
ance of pupils from districts S4 and
81 for the years 1856 and 1857
is one-fourth of the total attendance,
and that on this basis, last year, dis
trict Union gave TO districts 81 and

Mr.. Shattuck spoke with enthusiasm.
He strongly favored a good high school

The Irvine workers at the Interna-
tiOnal Harvester Co. got tired of hav-
ing the rope around their necks.
Because Dixon C. Williams is not
a politician Ham Lewis objects to
him as ChicagO's new postmaster.
Somebody give Ham a taffy apple
and quiet his chatter.
Ireland has backed Mexico and the
big war off the news map.
Peace between Hoyne and Big Bill
didn't last as long as 1 thought it
would
And didn't think it would, says
the casual observer.
Every Week prints four pictures of
the windiest corners in the world.
And never mentions Chicago.
It's pretty hard to get a whole city
in one picture.
Suffragists say G. o. P. means
grand old pigs.
The G. o. P. has grabbed up all the
hotel space in town for the June con-
VentiOn.
And the suffrage convention folks
are having a hard time getting a
place to bunk during their conven-
ton scheduled for the same time.
Now we know who put the rage in
suffrage.
The loop papers like returns about
as well as a defeated candidate.
