WASHINGTON, July rs. - Unless

SUFFICIENT troop transports the United

army Of 1900, 900 men all dressed UP
but no place to 60"
Although the war department is
asking an additional $4,000. 000, 900 to
provide for the expense Of an army OF
100000 which the administration
expects to have either fighting or

assurance that the government will
be able to send more than a third
of the forces to France within the
lext year.
This was admitted.today by a mem
Der of the army general staff.

ties available. It probably would be
impossible to land more than 100000
men In France by Sept. /, 1918. We
have to have transports and more

Every effort is being made to obtain
ships available for transport purposes.
Negotiations are in progress with ia

OF the girl from the q. S. A. in sub

the great international complications.
In addition to this, the fact that the
genius Of the American motion pic
ture art, Cecil B. DeMille, gives to
the production the additional merit of
his best efforts. makes this a most
potent factor in the annals Of the
photoplay.

RUMORS OF A WILD
TYPE CIRCULATED
False Sensational Stories Being Told
about Coffin of Moline Man Tom
tanning Only Rocks.

Moline is oyerrun with rumors of
the widest and most sensational na-
ture. Not only are the Red Cross,
Camp Dodge and prominent officials at
Washington involved, but also well
known professional man who died re-
Gently in the Plow city.
Many of the stories circulated are
not only silly and preposterous, but
are vicious and pro-German in their
character and should not be given
credence by loyal Americans who wish
to aid the government in the present
crisis.
Canards relative to the circum-
stances surrounding the death of the
Moline man are so varied and absurd
that il s time a halt was being made.
Who has not heard OF the coffin Of
the dead man being opened and Of
nothing but stones being found in it
and of the man himself being seen in
New York City, where he was placed
under arrest for seditious utterances
The fact of the matter is if anything
of this kind had actually taken place
there would have been the widest
publicity because of the keen competi-
ton which exists between newspapers.
/ It would have been impossible to nave
suppressed the facts.

a woman contributed 10 the Red Cross

bare-faced lies are so apparently false
and malicious on their face il would

being constantly told and enlarged
upon until il appears no statement j;
too improbable not to be made ant
I repeated
