Remember Enrght,
Gresham and Hay


T-IRST Of the American army to die in France!
Ennght Creshaml FHayl They gave their
lives And willingly. But not, pray Cod, in vain
For their sake if for no other reason, will you
not give to the Red Cross, which will care for the
men that follow thenp. N
For the sake Of what they died for, will you
not giive---and give till the heart says stop
None Of us here can give as greatly as they
gave and as others are yet to give But can we
not sacrifice ourselves lttlep Will YOU take
little from the comforts Of your life and give, not
mere conscience gil" that salyes your pride and
enables you to say, 4 have given to the Red
Cross" ---but gift that cuts down into the quick,
and hurts because it makes you deny yourself?
Remember THEY gave till they died
Give AGAIN to the Red Cross!

FIGHT APPEALS
ON AUTO CASE
Motorists in Moline Police Court
VIII Find City VIII Garry
Issues Higher.

Motorists arrested in Moline viii
not evade the ends of justice by
appealing their cases to circuit
court.
This was emphasized by City
Attorney James Johnston after two
speeders had appealed their cases
late Saturday afternoon. The
word has gotten around among Mo-
line motorists that ''if you want to
beat the law, appeal your case.
All you have to do is to file an ap-
peal bond which is twice the
amount of the fine. Then nothing
more is ever heard of it"
But City Attorney Johnston pro-
poses to teach a few speeders that
there is something more to the
law than filing appeal bonds. ANY
one who thinks he can violate the
speed laws and avoid paying the
penalty by appealing the case will
lind that he is seriously mis-
TAKEN" Mr.. Johnston said. 81 am
going to press these appeals with
out delay. There isn't going to be
any such thing as buried speed
cases"
Last summer more than a dozen
cases were appealed None OF
these cases was tried in circuit
court. This became generally
known and the assumption was
that because of the small amount
involved the cases viii never be
heard in higher court.
William SackvilIe of East Moline
was the first this year to appeal
speeding case. He had previ-
ously announced that he would ap-
peal the case-even before he knew
that he was convicted, and even
before the trial started. Thus the
trial was a mere formalitY, He
filed an appeal bond. Pete rPetro-
gianos, manager of a Moline poo
| hall, took advantage Of Sackville' s
knowledge Of court procedure and
he, too, appealed his case. Each
OF the men were fined So.

GOVERNMENT is
NOT To STEP IN
Rumors of Federal Action To Make
East Moline Dry without FOun-
datiOn Today.

Rumors that the United States
government intends to at once es-
tabIish the fve-mile dry zone
around Rock Island arsenal so as
to cause East Moline to become dry
territory before the prohibition
law is effective on May 16. were
without foundation in the city to-
day although 1t was reported that
government agents working with
the police are seriously figuring
upon recommending such action
following the almost uncomfortable
conditions of Friday and Saturday
nights.
Friday nights orgies were moro
than exceeded Saturday night. East
Moline streets were filed 10 the
overflow with men, visitors from
Moline, Rock Island. Davenport and
other dry spots in this community.
Early in the afternoon, to get to
East Moline from Moline, one had
to hang on the steps OF the street
cars which were running more than
double the usual number. And
while a drink was obtainable after
fighting and showing ones way
through a mass of men lined up be-
fore a bar in a saloon on Friday,
on Saturday If the person seeking
drink with a kick chose to put up
a battle for 1t, he thought himself
lucky if he could but get into the
saloon-he would worry about his
chances of getting service later.
East Moline has one more Satur-
day night to contend with" and
nine other Ordinary" evenings, in
which 1t will be the oasis in a large
dry territory. Then the city viii be-
come dry and the legalized retail
-liuuor business Will pass out of eX-
istence in this community. But in
the meantime East Moline will be
busy place.
East Moline police said today
that Saturday night was more quiet
than Friday night. Their records 4
show that they made 80 arrests
Saturday night On Friday night
they made Go. But of the 65, some
thirty were buns who had been at
tracted from Rock Island. They
were taken care of by the police
Saturday and either "vagged" or
sent out of town. Thus not con-
sidering the bum arrests, the rec
ord of Saturday night shows the
police business of the plain drunk
and disorderfe class to have been
heavier than the night before.

SAND COVERING ON
CREOSOTE BLOCKS

High temperatures of the last
few days has brought to the sur
face of the creosote block paving
on Fifth avenue in the business
district of Moline, a soft, mushy
black substance.
Commissioner Ericsson has or
dered sand put on the paving.
Gravel is also being used. The
reason for the trouble is that the
paving was put in in cool weather
If it had been warm at the time
a thin coating of asphalt could
have been put over the blocks
The cost OF putting on the gravel
will be about $3.50.

A mistake has been made in Mo

ice court this morning.

pastor Of the SiIvis Methodist
church. His arrest occurred in the
evening when he was on his way to
Moline to witness the SiIyis shop
mems parade
Therefore, since the city attor-

GERMAN FLYERS
PAINT MACHINES
UP LIKE ALLIES

With the American Army in
France, Friday, May 3.-(By the
Associated Press.)-German avia-
tors are now resorting to unsports-
manlfke tricks in an endeavor to
outwit American flyers. The trick
mess of the German soldiers afoot
is emulated by enemy airmen, who
are marking their machines to
make them lok as much like allied
markings as possible.
The Germans have taken to
rounding off the corners of the
cross on the wings of their planes
to make them look like allied
badges. The game Of the German
airmen is to play around, get in a
shot If he can and then run. Amer
lean fiiers, for fear of attacking a
probable friend, must get up close
to an enemy machine, usually after
considerable maneuYering by open
ing fight.
Here is what happened at an air.
drome to which Americans are at
tached when an alarm comes in.
The telephone bell rings sat the
hangar and the location of the en-
envy is repeated in a loud voice by
the sergeant. A number of young
Americans, helmeted and hooded,
swing into their machines. the pro-
pellers are turned over and one
after another the machines dash
acros the field. They take air quick
" and In less than minutes from
the time the bell rings the air
planes look like mosquitoes in the
sky.
In three quarters of an hour they
are back again and compare notes.

to another.

What were those three machines
north of -2" Is the next
question.
They looked like French, but
