Germany proved in the past year.
contrary 70 Englaud's example. that
in attaining her end, she seeks so far
as possible 10 avert violating the just
rights OF neutrals. She even went far
toward meeting the wishes Of the
United States in her conduct OF sub
marine warfare, in spite Of the fact
that the enemy was trying to subdue
Germany through an Illegal war upon
her peaceable populations
out of regard for the interests OF
neutrals Germany relinquished for the
present one of her most effective
weapons against the enemy, although
she was compelled TO wage a life and
death struggle.
"At-the opening OF the third year OF
the war Germany is able to look back
10 her splendid military successes on
water and on land which are without
a parallel.
Germany and her allies remained
firmly united during the past year in
bonds of Friendship and common inter-
ests. Bulgaria, as the fourth member,
entered the alliance in October, 1915,
dILGT having SATISFACTORILY ATIduBeu
matters with Turkey. Through the ac-
cession of Bulgaria, which resulted in
the subjugation of Serbia, tie way was
opened for the central powers from
Berlin 10 Constantinople and to Bag
dad, an event Of far reaching import
ance.
Status of Alliance.
THE alliance OF the central powers
rests upon a community of political
and economic interests. IL is an in
trinsic necessity for all four states,
and it guarantees TO them among them
selves the greatest advantages, with
out in any way threatening the inter-
ests of the others
Building upon what she already
has achieved, Germany treads the
threshold OF the third year Of the war
with mistaken confidence But the goal
has not yet been reached for the
enemy has not yet come to see the i'm
possibility of subjugating Germany"

gence and understanding equal to
Women In the War.

Women In the War.
The speaker was a member OF the
Ford peace commission. She went TO
Europe, she said. because she wanted
to know what women are doing III
this war. One Of the arguments in
this country against women voting IS
that women cant fight in the army
Women of Europe may not be actually
fighting in the trenches, but they are
doing practically everything else
They are working in the factories, on
the farms, in the offices, on the trac-
ton lines, and in addition they are OF
fering up their sons, husbands, BROTH
erS and fathers for cannon fodder
For the most part they are bearing
the heaviest burden of war uncom-
plainingly, but there are evidences
that they are determined to do their
utmost, when the conflict is ended, to
see that there never is another like 1t.
The speaker found that the women
over there understand how the war
was brought about. 1t was first OF
all through the piling up OF munitions
in preparing for it. The idea that
preparedness in arms, ammunition,
armies and navies is an aid in keeping
out of war has been thoroughly eX-
ploded in Europe. The common peo-
pie now see the folly of it all, if they
never did before. Along with the vast
material preparedness Europe had an
other of preparedness, that of fear,
suspicion and hate, deliberately TO
mented. The senator was distressed
to see that this country has not only
a determined movement for material
preparedness, to the great profit of
those who provide it, but that intiu-
ences have been busy sowing the seed
of suspicion and hatred here, too.
This seed has taken root in some parts
of the country, but, happily, the mid
die west has not yet taken leave OF its
sanity. We hear demands for uniVer-
sal military service in this country
and for military tactics in the public
schools, notwithstanding that militar-
ism is recognized now in Europe as
the worst and most vicious form of
slavery and teaching of tactics in the
public schools has been discontinued
in France and Germany as a waste Of
energy. If the women of this country
allow their sons to be swept into the
vortex of militarism they will be
guilty of a criminal neglect of duty.
Still in Pioneer Stage.
These are still the pioneer days of
the movement to give woman her
proper voice in human affairs. There
is a vast amount of work to be done.
She must have the cooperation of man,
just as man needs the help of woman
now. The problem is big enough for
both working together without>aII this
pickering over who shall have the
right to consider it.

PLANCHAUTAUQUA
FOR COMING YEAR
Success of This Years Venture En-
cOurages Promoters to Take Up
Continuation of Work.
DESIRE TO SELL 1000 TICKETS
With Handicaps OF Hot Weather and
Bad Roads Assembly Has Met
with Encouraging Patronage.

This is the closing day of the first
Rock Island chautauqua. Programs
this afternoon and evening are being
furnished by the Mallory players, and
they drew good afternoon attend
ance, despite the discomfort of the
weather.
Whether this city is to have another
chautauqua is to be decided during the
next few days. Last evening pledges
were circulated for season tickets for
an assembly next year, and a number
of them were signed. 1t is desired
to pledge 900 season tickets. If this
is done a first class entertainment,
equal or better than that of this year,
will be assured.
Played Practically Even.
Handicaps which might have been
serious have not detracted greatly
from the interest in the assembly of
the present week One was the in
tense heat, the sessions falling in one
of the three hottest periods since local
weather records have been maintain
ed and the other the state of the roads
which has discouraged automobile
traffic to and from the grounds. An
other year can hardly fail to bring
more fabOrable weather and with
Twelfth street paved and an equally
good program, a chautauqua in 1917
should be a winner Probably this
years deficit will be small, if there is
any at all to meet.
Rock Islanders have been cOmpli-
mented by the platform manager, Rev.
George Wise, for the readiness with
which they developed the chautauqua
spirit. This should be helpful in get
ting ready for another season.
Fine Entertainment.
An unusually we'll trained organiza-
ton is the Kellam Male quartet, which
furnished the musical part of the
chautauqua programs yesterday after
noon and evening. The voices blend
nicely and they have the power needed

Yesterdays address at the Rock Is
land chautauqua was the first of the
present campaign made by Governor
Dunno and he had prepared himself
with much care, reading what he had
10 say from manuscript. His words
outlined the grounds upon which he is
asking denomination by the party and
on which. if renominated, he will ask
reelection by the people. He was in
troduced by DR.. George F. Johnson of
East Moline
The governor spoke for an hour and
was the only democrat to be heard in
the period set aside for that party, his
address, which was given in last even

close attention The Kellam male
quartet opened the afternoon chau-
tauqua program, giving half hour S

scented after the democratic hour and
then the republicans were given their
turn. County Chairman George II.

Vile, candidate for attorney general,
spoke in the order given and held the
platform more than an hour and half,
combing the field for issues upon which
a republican might hope to win cleo
ton In general they claimed that
every meritorius measure adopted in
state and nation by the democrats was
advocated at some time or other by
republicans, that the democrats had
proven extravaganza wasteful, shift
less and generally incompetent, if not
actually dishonest and that the cOun-
try is headed straight toward the dem
milton bOw-wOws as fast as a demo
cratic tariff can shove it along. Out

administration, even in the eyes of re-
pubIicans seeking Office, seems to be
doing fairly well.

Sugar Case in Point.

Inc speaker took the case of sugar
as one of the commodities which has
increased in price beyond all reason.
Sugar is one Of the four leading neces-
sites OF life Women ought to study
the reasons for its advance and try to
apply remedy. The reason for the
high cost, in the opinion of the speak
er, was that which has caused most of
the similar increases in other COM
modities, namely, that its production
and distribution are controlled by
trusts. There is no adequate reason
for a price of 10 or II cents a pound
for sugar. Some say it's war. There
is a vast amount Of jolIying being
done in this country in the name of
the war. 1t is absurd to state that the
war has had very much to do with the
high price of sugar or OF many other
commodities.
What the women of this country
should do now is To memorabilia con-
gress, protesting against a condition
which permits men to band together
to push the price of sugar to its pres
ent unreasonable height. If it is con-
stitutional to regulate the price of
gas, why is il not constitutional to
regulate the price OF sugar? One is
no more necessary than the other. II
II is not constitutional, let's change
the constitution. Government is form
ed for the well being of the units that,
compose it. If those units are made
TO suffer through monopolizing of the
necessities Of life. is il not the proper
function of government to curb mo-
nopolies2
One reason she is anxious for wo-
men to vote, the senator said. is in
order to release for the discussion and
settlement of our national problems

is expanding In order to get the ballot
