AMERICANS BUYING
THE MOST DIAMONDS

Amsterdam, Netherlands.-(Co
spondence Of the Associated Press.)-
While all Europe's spare cash is be-
ing converted at a furious rate into
shells and bombs, the United States
still continues to find money to be-
stow on the acquisition Of the flashing
stones that are turned out by the ia
nous diamond cutters of Amsterdam
The position in the ''brilliants" branch
Of this industry has considerably i'm
proved in recent months owing to the
increasing demand from America, al
though the rose cut" diamond trade
is almost dead, owing to the cessation
Of orders from Balkan states, where,
before the war, a regular demand ex-
listed for stones cut In what is called
the old fashioned" way
The Amsterdam diamond trade has
always been closely connected with
the worlds wars. 1t owes its origin

INSURANCE RATE
materially CUT
CITY of Moline Granted Better Classi-
fication by NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Cheaper Fire Protection.
COUNCIL HAS MADE LONG FIGHT
Previous Administration Takes First
Steps to Meet Requirements OF
Bureau-Work Only Begun.

Mayor NJ. R. Carlson announced this
morning that the city of Moline has
been advanced from class 8 to class IA
in insurance rating, with consequent
reduction of fire insurance rates on
mercantile buildings and their con-
tents.
The advance in class is granted Mo-
line because of the strides made there
during the last few years towards bet
tering fire protection, through modern
izing and motorizing the fire depart
ment, and through the Improvement in
the city water system, which now fur
nishes adequate pressure in all parts
of the city and is fortified, in case Of
accident, by the standpipe on the bluff.
The standpipe in Moline was one Of
the material aids in winning for that
city the advance in class and the con-
sequent reduction in rates, for in case
of accident at the pumping station the
standpipe can, as it has often proved,
furnish high pressure for hours. A re-
serve of this sort was one of the sew
eral improvements there which i'm
pressed the fire underwriters with the
fact that Moline deserved lower rates.
The reduction in rates which the ad-
vance in class will effect follows:
On all brick mercantile buildings
there will be an average reduction of
approximately per cent on the build
ings and l per cent on the contents
thereof
On all frame mercantile buildings
there will be an average reduction OF
approximately per cent on the build
ings and l per cent on the contents
thereof.
The new rates will apply to the next
premiums paid, according to assurance
given Mayor Carlson over the tele-
phone this morning by Frank Stanberry
district manager of the Illinois inspec-
ton bureau of the fire underwriters.
May Affect Residences Later.
The reduction in rates comes after
several years of effort on the part Of
the city council of Moline, both the
present and last administrations shar-
ing the credit Mayor Carlson an
nounces that the city will now begin
fight to attain class 2. When the
class is attained a demand will be
made that reduction Of rates be giver
on residences as well as on mercan,
tile buildings. For city to be giver
a rate reduction on residences is with.
out precedent, but Mayor Carlson de
clares he will make the attempt anG
feels that there is good prospect o.
success

When the present war broke out, prac-

FIREMEN'S BALL PLEASANT
 FUNCTION

On Saturday evening pleasure reigned supreme at the seventh an- nual ball of the Cordova Volunteer Fire Department. Eagle Hall was tastefully decorated for the occasion, and those who worship at the shrine of Goddess Terpsichore pronounce the affair one of the most enjoyable of the winter season. The music was furnished by the Cordova string or chestra, the floor was in excellent condition, attractive programs were in evidence, and the committee was ever on the alert to see that all pres ent had a good time. In fact, when the hour arrived for the dance to break up there was no desire on the part of the merry dancers to leave the scene of pleasure, and arrange ments were forthwith made to con- tinue the dance for a few hours longer.

B|G PURCHASER IN
 SEATTLE

That the development of the re sources of Alaska will make Seattle the richest and most prosperous city on the American Pacific coast is the belief of Judge Thomas Budke, presi- dent of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce, and his belief would appear to be based on solid facts as indicated by the report of the Kennecott Copper Corporation, whose headquarters are in Seattle.
 During the year just drawing to a close the purchases of the Kennecott company from Seattle merchants and manufacturers reached the aggregate of three million two hundred and fifty thousands dollars. The company op- crate the famous Bonanza mine at Kennecott, and the Beatson mine on Latouche island.
 In addition to the Kennecott there are hundreds of companies operating in the north who draw upon the wholesale houses of Seattle for their supplies, and with the development of the territory Seattle will increase her prestige as a commercial center.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO
TREATED LIKE CHINAMEN
Say the Refugees who Reached Tampa
on the Transport Sumner
Tampa Times)

When the United States army
transport Sumner discharged its load
of refugees from many Mexican cities
Saturday it turned loose upon Ameri-
can soil score on score of men who
speak in bitterest terms OF. President
Wilson and his foreign policy. With
but few exceptions the refugees assert
the administration at Washington has
made a mistake in putting off from
time to time the Intervention they
believe must come.
Foreign policy" scoffed one. "Why,
anybody who has ever been outside
the states. and looked back as an
American citizen knows that the
United States has no foreign policy"
The attitude is not one of few
disgruntled citizens. It is not sour pro-
test of men who have suffered much
and endured much until the end of
their endurance has been reached
for, although the flight from Mexico
without clothes and money that most
of them were forced into has added a
great deal to their bitterness, not one
was encountered who was not willing
to lose all he had-aye, and his life If
necessary the honor and glory OF
the Stars and Stripes.
Like Cinnamon" is the way one
referred to the treatment accorded
Americans. "a few years ago they
respected the citizen of the United
States. though they did not like them
Today they despise them, they look
down upon them as an inferior, cow
ard race. Americans are showed into
the streets, are spat upon, are callee
swine, dogs and every indignity thai
can be heaped upon their heads is
freely vented"
