PAINTERS STRIKE
BELIEVED WANING
Practically All Employees in Rock Is
land Are Working, According to
Word From the Union.
EXPECT BIG FIRM TO SIGN UP
One of Largest Contractors In Rock
Island Ready to Meet 55-Cent De-
mand If Men Could Be Had.

Announcement was made today from
the painters and paperhangers' union
that practically all of the members Of
the union in Rock Island are at work.
With the signing up of one OF the big
shops, which was predicted before
night, the strike is believed to be wan
ing.
Every union painter and paper
hanger in Rock Island who cares to
work is working today" painter
said this afternoon.
The union men do not consider all
Of the Y contractors who still have
open shop" master painters. They
claim that many of them only employ
one or two men.
About a score of union painters
have left this city since May /, when
the strike was declared They have
gone to Chicago or Cedar Rapids 1t
is expected, however, that they will
return when the wage differences are
completely settled. A contractor who
signs up now will have difficult
time to secure union men because of
the fact that all of them are now en-
gagged.
The shop which it was expected
would sign up before night is one Of
the big ones of the city and the union
men consider it a victory. Officials
were engaged this afternoon secur-
ing union men to start work for the
shop in order to get the signature to
a contract
Sign Up For 81 Cents.
Union painters are still holding out
for 50 cents an hour, an increase of
five cents per hour over what they
formerly received. All contracts sign
ed thus far have provided 55 cents.
The painters asked so cents an hour
when they first declared a strike, but
since then agreed that they would
compromise for 55 cents with all con-
tractors who cared to sign up.

Urges Support OF Yuan Shi-kai.

Peking. -(Correspondence of The
Associated Press. Yang Tu, organ
izer and chief promoter of the Chou
An Hui, or the Society for the Preser-
walton of Peace, which fostered the
monarchiel movement, has issued an
appeal to the military and civil gov
ernors of the various provinces and to
the newspapers of Shanghai, asking
them to support Yuan Shi-kai as pres
ldent under proper constitutional
limitation and save China from fur
ther disturbances.
Yang Tu assumes full responsible
ity for the organizing of the monar-
chlcal movement, and confesses the
mlsfortunes which the movement has
brought to China. He says in his ap-
peal that he still believes the mon
archy would be the best form of gov
ernment for China. and that it was a
mistake to cancel the monarchy. How
ever, since the monarchy is cancelled
Yang Tu believes that all leaders in
China should join the movement To
support Yuan Shi-kai and restore or
der.

THE WAR TODAY

With all the weight and power
of tremendous masses OF men ana

livering what may prove to ne
their decisive stroke against the
main deienSes of Verdun.
The German attack of yesterday
northeast of the fortress which
gained them first line French
trenches in the crucial sector be-
tween Fort DouaumOnt and SanX
has been followed by fighting OF
extreme violence.
The crown princes drive is be-
ing pressed along front little
more than two miles in width
between the Thiaumont farm and
Naux.
West of the Meuse the French
have been trying to regain the
ground recently lost and claim to
have made progress last night
south of Caurettes wood near
Cumieres.
The Germans have entered the
French first line trenches between
Fort Douaumont and NaEx, north
east of Nerdun, having changed
their offensive from the region OF
lie Mort Homme for the present.
The attack was made over a
front of about two miles and was
preceded by violent b0mbardmenf.
The French met the German as.
saults with their machine guns and
held them back at every point eX:
cept between Fort DOuamOnt and b
Vaux. Heavy lOSSes were inflicted
on the Germans according to Paris.
In the NOSgeS mountains near
AItkirch the Germans report the
occupation of French positions 300

capture of some prisoners and
booty.

Use of Naval Guns Ashore.

Paris.-The use of naval guns ashore
in the present war, it is pointed out by
a naval expert, is not mere expedient
resulting from accidental or incidental
circumstances, but as well defined
reason in the greater initial speed OF
the projectile of a naval gun and the
consequently longer range than that
of field artillery. The new services
they render are due to the aeroplane,
which gives the gunner on land longer
ranges of fire than he used to get.
The 15-inch naval guns with which
the Germans occasionally lombard
Dunkirk and Nancy are believed to be
from ships lying idle in the Kiel canal.
They are utilized because they carry
farther than the big mortars.
The type of the naval guns would
have been more commonly used on
land for field work had it not been so
much heavier and more difficult to
manipulate than the shorter range field
and siege guns. Seven inch to 49,
inch naval pieces may be mounted on
railroad trucks, but the recoil of the
larger calibres is so violent as to re-
quire a solid concrete foundation.
All the news all the time-The
Argus.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

To arrange table centerpieCe of
short-stemmed flowers, like pansies,
etc.-Take a shallow plate or platter
and fill it nearly full of sand, then
wet the sand and arrange the
pansies by sticking them in the sand.
You can put them in so that they
look pretty and natural.
To Remove Any and All Kinds of
Stains from Table Linen-Procure 10
cents worth of oXaliC acid, dissolve in
one pint Of soft water, place in bottle
and when stains are to be removed,
add two or three tablespoons of liquid
to sufficient water to cover articles
and let soak for half an hour. Rem
ders all table linen beautifully white
and does not injure it.
To Prevent Garbage Can Tipping
/ Overly driving six strips of wood
into the ground closely around can,
so that in length they are an inch or
two above cover, it will be impossible
for can to be blown over or for any
animals TO reach it and tip it. The
garbage collector can easily lift it
from recess to empty contents, and it
may be placed any desired distance
from dwelling.
To Clean Kitchen Woodwork, Cell
ing or White Enamel-Wet cloth
with coal oil and apply. After the sur
face has been gone over, take warm
water and wash it off; then dry with
clean cloth. This does not injure
the paint as when washing with soap,
and it will not leave the woodwork
Streaked.
To get clean laundered handker-
chief IN an emergency, as on train,
wash it out and smooth out while
damp on a clean window pane. 1t
will dry quickly, be smooth and stiff
as If 1t had been irOned.
A tablespoonful of sugar and salt
in boiling starch will make the
clothes whittier and stiffer.
In baking custard pies the crust
often burns around the edge before
custard is done A rim of jelly
cake tin placed over the pie will rem
edy this
When rinsing colored clothes, es-
peclally mems black working shirts,
black petticoats, black stockings, etc.
you will find better results by adding
one-half cup vinegar to a pail Of
water; it will leave them like new.

Army Rifles.

A sporting firearm is simple prod
uct beside a military rifle, for the lat
ter must be Interchangeable in all its
parts as well as very strong, because
the soldier puts it to many rough uses.
The quantity of rifles needed for a
present day army is enormous. Mod
ern explosives quickly corrode the
rifling, spelling accuracy, and in
trench warfare the soldier is said to
need not one gun, but four. The first
he shoots with, the second must be
available when the first gets hot. the
third is at hand in case of accident
and there must be a fourth in the re-
