England claim to have suffered less
from the increased cost Of living

that the upward trend has been in

No Pure Water.

Owing to the extremely solvent pow
ture, the nearest approach being found
in rainwater, which, as it is formed in
the upper regions Of the atmosphere,
is the purest that nature supplies, but
in descending it brings with it what
ever impurities are floating near the
surface, which in the neighborhood of
cities are always numerous; hence
perfectly pure water is hardly to be
found, even the artifcially distilled be-

Harry Davis Found MORALLY Injured
Beside Rock Island Tracks at
Fourth Street. East Moline.
HEAD is HIT BY COw.CATCHER
Dragged Half Block, Wheels Not Pass

City Hospital.

Moaning and unconscious. his skull
fractured to such an extent that a
deep hole was cut in it, exposing the
| brain, and with his whole in
ternal system so injured that
speedy death was inevitable,
Harry Davis of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, was picked up at this morning
from beside the Rock Island tracks
at Fourth street, East Moline He died
in the city hospital at 10p5.
| The mans head had been struck by
the cow-catcher of the engine and
the fracture was evidently made in
this manner. Davis was apparently
dragged a half block, striking the
ground and railway ties without the
wheels passing over his body, before
falling off the engine. Train crew
was not aware of the accident and no
report was made when they passed
the Rock Island station here.
! There are no direct witnesses. How
/ long Davis had lain on the ground is
not known. One of the residents of
the vicinity, coming out of the rear
door of his home, found the PROSTATE
I form there. 1t is thought, however,
( that the westbound train from Chi
! cago, due in Moline at 3 :55 and which
was nearly on time this morning, was
the one which struck him. There is
also a westbound train due in Moline
at 5:24 and it may have been this.
| DR.. H. J. Love was called and he
summoned the Moline ambulance.
Davis was taken to the city hospital
and was attended by Drs. Love and
A. H. Arp. 1t was evident as soon as
! examination had been made that
| chances for recovery were slight.
/ Davis looked to be between % and

the day previous. Remains were TAX

American Diplomacy Wins.

(The Daily Ontario, Belleville. Ont)
American diplomacy, we cannot but
think, has scored 4 signal triumph in
tins long-drawn-Out contest with Ger
many. 1t has yielded nothing 1t
comes out in a commanding position
to maintain and defend. The Kaiser
fondly imagined that he was forcing
the issue of peace or war directly up
on the President who would thus be
greatly embarrassed with his own peo-
pie. The President has deity shifted
the burden. He mas not broken off
diplomatic relations with Germany.
but he has caught the Kaiser in cor
ner from which he can escape only
by a direct disregard of his alleged
order to his submarines, so gross that
1t Will practically amount to a declar-
alton of war on the United States.
Surely this was something worth wait
ing and planning for, in view of tle
more or less difficult political situation
IN the United States. If the Kaiser
now forces war. as he must do if he
departs from the public pledges which
he has given, in the order of his sub
marines. which he sets forth-undoubt-
eddy for purposes of deception-in his
reply to tae recent American ultima
tum, he viii have mrayed against him
self, by his own silly trickerv. the
whole American people
President Wilson has come out al
most decidedly ahead in the diplomatic
dodging-match. The cleverness and
strength of his final note are its out
standing features. If there is war
hereafter between Germany and tle
United States it will be of Germany s
direct making and it will be in open
disregard of solemn assurances. and
what may remain of her national hon
or.

1t may be quieting to the nerves to
read that the ''border situation is less
critical today and the American
troops viii be withdrawn when the
Carranza forces demonstrate that they
can control northern Nexico,'' but the
fact is that Americans who nave lived
IN Mexico, and others who have been
close students of affairs in that coun-
try, believe that we have only scratch
ed the surface of our trouble there.
Dlaz held Mexico under control with an
iron hand for years, but it is extremely
doubtful whether Carranza, or any
other Mexican of the present day, or
any group of Mexicans. can straighten
out the chaotic conditions there and
give the country a stable government
The administration by its action
against Huerta and in sending troops
into Vera Cruz and then withdrawing
them quickly, intensified the hatred
of the Mexican people toward Ameri-
cans, and an awful blunder was made
when the embargo on arms was lifted,
and Villa and his followers, to say
nothing of the Carranza forces, were
enabled to get guns and munitions
which they can now use against our
good American boys. We cannot es-
cape the contention that sooner or
later the United States will be com
PEELED to exercise some sort of a pro
tectorate over all of the country be-
tween the Rio Grande and the Panama
canal. In addition to the trouble il
Mexico, Guatemala is in the throes of
revolution at the present time, and
the president of that country is plan
ming to find an asylum within our Dor
