BLUFF ASSOCIATION
HAS A FINE MEETING

Such a decided success was the
booster meeting held last evening by
members of the Southeast Bluff I'M
provement association of Moline that
decision was reached to continue the
social gatherings. A large number or
men did justice to a dinner served in
Help chapel by the Ladies' Aid society
of that church, following which there
was a program of talks.
W. B. Mcintyre Of this city WAS the
first speaker of the evening. He talked
on harmony of purpose and the value
of service one to another. 1T is rev.
citation to me to find so powerful an
organization up here on the bluff Mr..
Mcintyre said. Yours is great pow
er behind a beautiful Notwithstanding
community spirit. A few men in har-
mOny, in unison, can move an en-
pire, You are a commonwealth, an en-
pire in yourselves banded together
here and you are working to the same
purpose. But you are part of the
great machinery down in the city, and
there is a capable man in charge.
What you are doing tonight is cement
ing things which will last forever,
and by a succession of these gath
erings your organization is gradually
growing stronger. You canot live to
yourself alone. The most beautiful
thing in life is being of service to
others. Anything you do for men will
live forever, and service to others is
the greatest thing there is"
Mayor NJ. r. Carlson, introduced by
H. S. Dickinson, the chairman. as the
newsboy who used to drag through
the mud out in that section of the city,
spoke of the good to be accomplished
through community spirit. Every city
matter has some effect on the home"
said the mayor. Il have found this to
be true in my study of municipal
problems. The women are interested
lust as well as the men"
The mayor spoke of the benefits of
public improvements. He declared

there were a number of property own
ers who were opposed to pavement,
sidewalks, etc, until they had them,
and then they would not do without the
improvements.
H. S. Dickinson, chairman, called
attention to the need of a new school
building in that district and he spoke
in favor of extending the street car
line. These propositions will have i'm
mediate attention, and in fact, in
fiuences are at work now toward the
realizatio\ of these improvements, he
said.
The chairman took occasion to thank
the committee in charge of last even

added to the committee Their asso-

London, Feb. 17.-From the Hima

loyalty and proffers of assistance are
pouring in on the viceroy of India.
These messages have come from
princes representing millions of India
natives. Millions of dollars are sent
by these princes to help swell the
British exchequer. Great Britain has
accepted the Indian offers because to
have refused would have chilled and
Inundated every Indian under British
rule.
Among the princes who have given
most literally is the Rajah of Pudu-
kota, who offered all his possessions
to King George for the war and re-
turned to India to raise a regiment of

whose great loyalty to the king is we'll
known, offered his services in the war
In any capacity The influence of his
highness extends, it is said, over 50,-

"a druggist has many opportunities

ness draws their confidence for little
helpful suggestions on the matter OF

The stories told by the girl witness
es before the commission, including
the white slave stories, will be re-
enacted The scenes will be laid all
over the country. The reels will be
connected by a running story telling
the history Of the girl from her first
false step to her appearance as a wit

periences through which she passed
as we'll as those of other witnesses
will be told.
Rival MeIOdrama Thrills.
Some of the scenes, it is said, will
rival the most lurid melodramas as
thrillers, and yet the directors Of the
production are said to have followed
the facts as faithfully as exhibition
purposes would permit Some of the
scenes are laid in the same notorious
resorts and dives in which the wit
nesses testified the incidents happened
During the senate investigation the
names of the witnesses were not made
public, and they will not be used In
the film. What the censors will do to
the celluloid strip from real life is a
question, but it was the intention OF
the commission to portray conditions
as wildly as possible in order that the
whole might serve as an object lesson
and warning to parents. No children
will be permitted to view 1t.

THE PORK" BARREL

600 annually would receive more than
half of the $39,O00,000 carried in the

remaining half is divided among $50
projects, of which 20 ocean and Great
Lakes harbors alone produce over
800, 100000 tons of freight annually.
These startling figures, indicating
where most of the waterways pork is
dispensed, were produced by Rep.
James A. Frear, of Wisconsin, in
speech in opposition to the bill. Mr..
Frear offered O substitute whereby
the appropriation would be reduced
to $15,000,000, all to be spent in the
maintenance of harbors and water
ways actually contributing to COM

Denies that
VILLA IS HURT
THAT he HAS NOT EVEN BEEN
ENGAGED WITH AMERICAN
TROOPS.
NOT HIS TROOPS IN BATTLE
II Is Believed That Col. Dodd At
tackled General cano's Troops
Last Week and Not Villas.

El Paso, TeX.-While the latest ad-
petition into Mexico confirm the as
sertion that Francisco villa is wound
ed and fleeing ahead OF the Ameri-
cans, there is a persistent report in
Ell Paso, credited by many persons,
that Villa Is not wounded and that
he has not even been engaged by the
American forces.
Those who belong to this school
of thought" along the border say they
received messages from Americans in
Chihuahua stating that General Luis
Herrera, recently suspected Of disloy-
atty to General Carranza, has permit
ted his forces to join those of Gen.
eral Cano, west of Chihuahua city,
and that General Cano and his Car
ranZistas have revolted and are fight
ing the Americans; that it was this
force and not the force OF Villa with
which Colonel Dodd engaged near
Guerrero, and that villa is now close
to the City of Chihuahua arranging to
attack the state capital
General Cano Loyal to carranza.
Juarez officials deny these reports,
declaring that General Cano is still
loyal to the first chief; that he is CO
operating with the Americans and
that General Herrera is not only 10y
al, but is in the field after Villa.
Andres Garcia, the CarTanza consul
here, admits that nothing has been
heard from General Cano for more
than a week. In the early days of
the chase after Villa, both Consul
Garcia and General Gavira, the CON-
man6er at Juarcz, made public sew
eral kilograms they said they had re-
ceived from Cano telling of fights he
had had with the villa forces. These
kilograms stopped abruptly about 10
days ago.
The only direct information from
Namiquipa since then has been a par
egraph in a dispatch from General
PeIshing in which it was stated that
half the garrison at the town had dis
appeared and that it was suspected
come OF them had joined Villa.
Villa In Need Of Money.
That Villa is without funds became
known here when reliable reports told
of an appeal he had sent but recent
ly to one of his former lieutenants
living in New Mexico, not far from e.
Paso, begging the man to send $1,000
to Mrs. Villa No. 2, in Los Angeles.
He stated, it is said, that he had no
to send her, and that his broth

EnoIish Preserve Early French.

The pronunciation of Beaumont, one
of the villages captured by the Ger
mans in the great attack on Verdun,
presents, at any rate SO far as the
first syllable is concerned, no difficult
ties even to the man in the street. Yet
in the eighteenth century the average
Englishman spoke of 'Bewmont" and
"Bewfort," and Leigh Hunt, comment
ing on the fact, maintains that the
average Englishman for once was
right, and was merely reviving the
original French pronunciation, surviv-
