SAYS TROOPS DOWN
ON BORDER ARE FIT

That stories of hardships endured
by the militiamen down on the border
are greatly exaggerated is made plain
by a letter from a Rock Island man
who is there as a member of the First
Wisconsin in camp at Leon Springs.
The man is Guy Hayes, who formerly
was a member of Company A. A few
months ago he went to the northern
part of this state and when the Next
can crisis came a few weeks ago he en-
listed at Beloit His regiment was sent
to the border early this month. In a
letter to his father, c. A. Hayes of An
dalusia, the former Rock Islander
writes:
I'VE are just spelling for a battle
and some real work. We are in the
best of shape. 1t is good and

T. J. Murray. commercial agent of

today calls attention Of local ship
pers, as well as Consignees to bulle-
tin just issued by the interstate COM
merce commission. The bulletin points
out that car shortage is again threat
ened because of the heavy movement
of grain. Appended is the bulletin:
Reports are being received by the
commission indicating that a car
shortage is again threatened. caused
in part by the heavy movements of
grain at this season of the year
The commission therefore takes
this opportunity Of again bringing to
the attention of the carriers and ship
ion of the methods of loading, unload
ing, and moving of cars so as to Sc
cure the fullest possible use of avail
able equipment.
Shippers should endeavor to Sc
cure the prompt and full loading of
cars. and Consignees their prompt I'M
loading and release.
The commission feels justified in
urging upon shippers and consignees
that they shall not use cars for stOr-
age purposes. hut should endeavor to
release them as promptly as possible
and not avail themselves of the full
limit of free time provided by the tar
ifs.
Carriers should also make every
endeavOr to eliminate delays and ex-
pedite the movement of shipments
Cars should be promptly returned to
the home line, company material
promptly unloaded, and close super
vision given to operations at terminals
individual shippers and their asso-
Citations and the carriers should CO.
operate in order that the delays and
losses consequent to a shortage of
cars may, SO far as possible, be
avoided.

a shortage Of space that noon classes

The grammar schools face a similar
crisis. Last fall the enrOllments Of

making a total of 554 for the school
year. The grammar schools graduated
pupils as follows. Hawthorne, As;
lincoln. IS Longfenow. %; and Hor-
ace Mann. 81; thus making a total of
1877. The difference between 554 new
and 167 graduated pupils will estab-
lish the fact that there Will be 3S7 more
pupils this year And in this estimate
the new pupils arriving this year are
not taken into consideration. The new
enrolment will surely not be any less
than last year so il is a conservative
estimate to say that there will he at
least $50 more pupils in grammar
schools than there were two years ago.
Certainly the new Franklin school
has been needed for some time. The

Meeting at AndaIusia Saturday
To Boost Proposition.

Visions of another inteTurban line
have again become common in the
lower end of Rock Island county and
a meeting to consider a proposition is
to be held at the Andalusia town hall
next Saturday evening. Milan and
Muscatine are the proposed termini
and whether the road is built or not
the promoters say, is up to the people
Of the district to be traversed. If they
come across with enough money the
road will be built. otherwise this in
terurban will go the way of the sew
eral others that have been discussed
for the same district and never mater
ialize.
This road is being promoted by q
firm styling itself the National Trans
pOrtation and Electric Service corpor-
alton, of which G. w. Carr is president
and headquarters of which are in Dav-
export. 1t is no ordinary interurban
project, for ii embraces features orig
mating with Mr.. Carr and which never
have been incorporated in any trans
pOrtation system.
Mr. Carr has working model of his
invention on display in Davenport.
Electricity furnishes the motive power
and the road can be operated autOmat-
ically from an office. The cars may be
started, SW1tcneu ana SIOppeu ny an
operator whose Office may be at any
point on the line. No crew is neCes-
sary either for passenger or freight
transportation it is claimed. Mr.. Carr
says a road can be built for $4,000
a mile.
Runs On Trolley.
The track is not like other interur-
ban tracks and the cars are of only
two tons capacity. No grading is done
for the road. the rails being laid on
steel trestles. thus avoiding expensive
cuts and fills. There are no grade
crossings. a number of residents OF
the lower end of the county have in
speCted the working model of the road
and all agree that it operates perfect
ly and that there seems TO be no goOi
reason why a real honest to goodness
road built on the same principles
could not be constructed and success
fully operated.
Mr. Carr will be present at the meet
ing Saturday evening to further ex
plain his project.

Practically all the governments In
Europe have, since the war, put in

prices of foodstuffs.
Some governments, while allowing

most things, issued DEGREES applicable
to their whole territory concerning .
few highly important articles. Thus
Austria and Germany both prescribed
the proportion Of wheat or rye flour
that should be used In making bread.
Later both Austria and Germany fixed
the wholesale price Of cereals. and

KNOW NOTHING OF RESULTS

Orders That Are Given by the
Commander,

In the Berliner Tageblatt Herr Ar.

Austrian submarine which torpedoed
the Italian submarine Medusa.
II was in the interior of this famous
U-boat," he writes. 1.-THE big blond
lieutenant showed mo every part Of
the delicate machinery and explained
how the torpedo Is loaded and fred.
I was amazed at the amount of metal
and glass and wire and pipe in that
comparatively small space in which
there is scarcely room to move about.
"The lieutenant told me the story
Of an accident to the machinery, as
Q result of which they never expected
to come to the surface again. They
were 20 hours under water, and during
that time the engineer and mechanic
worked without q moments respite to
repair the break.
"All hope had been abandoned and
the crew were breathing heavily in
the vitiated atmosphere, when sudden
~ the submarine began to rise slowly,
and when it reached the surface all
hands went on deck to breathe the
fresh air.
Describing the sinking Of the Me-
dusa the lieutenant said:
"'We were lying outside the harbor
Of Venice in smooth water. The com.
mander had his eyes glued to the
periscope. We, of course, see moth
Ing and all we do is carry out his
orders.
Suddenly we begin to maneuver.
Evidently something is about to &C.
cur. Only q small part of the peri
scope is above the water; then we
dive again.
Presently we can hear the sound
Of another motor in our vicinity. The
commander shouts the order to have
our torpedo ready. Quick and will
ing hands respond. The order is
given to fire, and the deadly instru.
ment speeds on its way. We hear
the explosion, but whether we hit
the mark we were, Of course, un-
able to tell, as we quickly turned and
sped away"
