PLENTY Of CASH;
CAN'T FIND ROOM
Stranger Sleeps in Cell After Search
for Accommodations Is
unsuccessful.

An incident of last evening is strik-
ing evidence OF the lack of housing
facilities in East Moline. Though he
had S7I in his pockets, Charles De
Gryse was unable to secure accommo-
dations for the night and was con-
PEELED to sleep in a cell in police
headquarters. After a long search for
a room for the night the stranger
turned to the police station and asked
for assistance in finding accommoda-
tons He was taken 10 number OF
places by officers and the department
members made strenuous efforts to
find a room for DeGryse for the night.
But their search was in vain, and at
last they offered DeGryse the best that
the police station afforded, a plank
cot covered with a couple of scanty
blankets.
Every day Workmen who come here,
attracted by the great demand for
skilled mechanics in the East Moline
industrial plants, are leaving because
they can not find accommodations.
Every available room in the city is
occupied. and all of the factories are
working through welfare departments
in an effort to find quarters for their
men. Houses are rising by the score,
but the increase in facilities does not
begin to meet the demand, Fifty-two
new houses are under construction,
and more than that number have been
built during the fall, but if there were
400 new residences in the city now
the demand would not be met, accord
ing to men well informed on the

That the duty of the "stay-at home ,

that of the boys in the trenches was
emphaticaliy shown at the patriotic
meeting held last evening at the Mo

Baylis. noted traveller. who was an
eyewitness to some of the German
atrocities, to address the gathering,
but he missed. train connections and
failed to arrive, and local speakers
were heard in his stead.

United States for disloyalty OF any
kind and only those people ought to
be given the privilege of residence
here who are out and out for Uncle

dent Of the Deere q Mansur company
He discussed the part the United
States must play in feeding the al
lies and pointed to the fact that the
wheat crop of France was this year
IS per cent under the normal Yield

has also been decrease of 40 per
cent in the hog crop. "If every FAM
