Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-06-21

MIR. stephens is chairman of the
neighborhood committee. He stat
ed that local people had been given
an opportunity to hear Senator ]
Hamilton Lewis speak on whv we
are at war, eX-President Taft on
what we must do to win the war,
and now Medill Mccormick speak
ing or the conditions in Europe as
he observed them while there some
months ago.
Mr.. Mccormick referred to obser-
Vations in the war zones from the
English channel TO the Mediterra-
mean. Some of his more pointed
remarks were:
Il wish l could make this terrible
war live to YOU as it lives to me"
Il was more afraid that the
French generals at the front would
think l was afraid, than 1 was actu-
ally afraid"
Il wished the Germans were
where you would wish me to wish
them"
More guns are lost in a day in
the war than America had when
she declared war"
THE Germans brought 10000
guns from the Russian front, which
lis at least 20 times more than the
United States has manufactured
since declaring war"
America must have $4,000 big
guns TO win the war"
General Petain told me that few

Mr.. Mccormick painted a some
what gloomy view of the situation
from the standpoint OF the allies
and repeatedly charged that Wash
-ingtOn" had been responsible to a
large extent for alleged shoTtcom-
tngs. All the way through his talk
was permeated with personal poll
tics. He intimated that If sugges-
tions he had made had been acted
upon the entire situation would have
been much improved.
The fact that he appeared under
the auspices of the local council of
defense apparently did not deter
him from seeking TO give his hear
ers the impression that he would
be a great success in the senate.

The speaker described his visit
TO the front line trenches and laud-
ed the wonderful bravery and cour-
tesy of the French. The statement
was made that the allied generals.
excluding the French, could hardly
be expected to equal those of the
enemy. Reason Tor this was given
as the experience obtained by the
enemy IN mimic warfare, previous
to the war, where hundreds of
thousands of men were engaged.

He stated that the allied line was
broken for nearly four days during
the German drive in March, and
that the breach was closed only BIZ
the genius Of an obscure English
brigadier general. He stated that
the entire world should be thank
full for the genius of this general.

people in the United States to back

Consumption Of Oranges Is !
Increased by Juice Stands.

Attributing the large orange con-
sumption this season to the increased
demands made on the crop by the thou
sands of orange juice stands that have
sprung up throughout the United
States in the last year, the Fruit World
says ''The orld,wide shortage Of
sugar, estimated Ut approximately 3
100000 tons annually since the war
began, has caused the restriction of
sugar consumption in the manufacture
of many of the popular drinks. This
has increased the consumption of Or

greater market activity in spite of the
abnormally high prices caused by the
crop shortage following the heat ware

In Less Than Five kdonths
Hog Island, Worlds Largest
Shipyard, Was Half Completed

A year or so ago Hog island was a
dismal morass of mud, stagpant wa
ter and tangled weeds. Not many
months ago it was national scandal.
Today, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, It is the worlds greatest ship
yard. Labeled a "phantasmagoria Of
patriotic pretense" in the halls Of con-
gress, it became in the poisoned pub
lie mind, national cancer fed by
greed and corruption. Thus did Ger.

r., Hog island has training schools
where unskilled men and boys are
given intensive instruction and in a
few days or weeks made valuable
workmen. It has its own hospitals,
its recreation fields and buildings. It
