and the Northwest cars continue up
Marquette street, By the new plan
drafted, the Fejervary cars will run
on the same route they now do. The
Northwest Davenport cars, however,
Will turn west on either Third or
Fourth, and continue to Marquette,
then turning north and joining their
old route at Sixth street. The plan is
the idea of Alderman Moeller, chair
man Of the committee, who has been
working for some time on the propo-
sitiOn of getting better street car ser
vice for northwest Davenport resi-
dents. The Tri-City Railway com
pany will prepare map Of the routes
in that part of the city and it will be
submitted to the city council in COM
mittee of the whole by Alderman
Moeller tomorrow. The action of the
council on this matter will be watched
with interest by the residents in that
part of the city which the new plan
will benefit.
Davenport to Get Cheaper Light
Cheaper light" That's the slogan of
the city council, and through the eff
forts of the light committee, cooperat-
ing with H. c. Blackwell, local man
ager of the Davenport Gas & Elec-
trio company, this slogan is about to
be realized The light committee rec
commended to the council the adoption
of new rates, which, according to
Chairman Raben, will mean 10 per
cent reduction in the gross light bills
Of the city for the month Of July. Rock
Island has a cheaper light rate than
Davenport at the present time, it is
stated, and the new rates will put the
two cities on the same footing in re-
gard to electricity bills. With the aid
of Mr.. Blackwell the light committee
of the council compiled list Of the
electricity bills of Is of the residents
OF the city for the past year. The num-
Der of kilowatt hours used every month
was enumerated. and the cost of them
compiled according TO the Davenport,
and according to the Rock Island
rates.

More Than an Embargo

Would an embargo on food stUfs, rec

committee, bring down food prices in

Are these prices due TO the amount Of
export trade, or are they, rather, due to
q manipulation by the buyers, who hide

tables to rot upon the ground and pota-

been recently shown by United States
District Attorney Charles Clyne?

VenizelOs Champions
Democracy Against
Semi-Absolutism

The uprising In Greece under forne
Premier Venizelos r1esns more than q
participation in the European war Il is
really a democratic protest of the people
against the autocratic form of govern
ment by which they have been ruled for
nearly two years, and demand TO have
restored to them their constitutional
rights.
Thru its violation Of the Serbian-Greek
treaty. the government Of Greece incur
red the disapprovaL and distrust Of the
Greek people and Venizelos. beloved by
the masses, was removed 70 make the
wheels of the government run more auto
rratically smooth.
King Constantine is Teutonic, the
queen connected with the German royal
family, while the Greek people are frank
ly pro-ally in their sympathieS.
The utter routing or the Serbs thru
the failure of the Greek army to come TO
their relief, enraged the Greek people and
confusion which resulted in the removal
of Venizelos was the outcome. Since
then the former premier has been Obliged
to resign and has been ~e-irstated at the
demand of the people several times. AT
last, worn out by this vacillating policy
Of the crown, he has established a pro-
visional government of Greece on the
Island of Crete where the people have
rallied to his support.
His intention is to fight with the Allies
to defeat the Teutonic powers. for. with
Bulgaria an enemy on one side and Tur-
key on the other, the situation of Greece
In case of Teutonic victory would be per-
llous in the extreme.
After the war, the matter Of constitu-
honal freedom will oe threshed out and
should il be denied the Greek people and
should they be governed as before by a
despotism, composed of king and a
small group of advisers" who are really
rulers, there is possibility Of civil war
1t is believed by VenizeloE that for po-
litical reasons if for no other, the Triple
Entente will see that the Greek people
have justice done them, and it is with this
md in view, the re-establistment of con
stitutional freedom, that he is gathering
an army in Macedonia and will espouse
the Allies cause.
