any Four Years in Germany"
The New York Evening Mail said:
Former Amba ssador James w. Ger
ards "My Four Years in Germany
had its first presentation as a photo
play last night at the Knickerbocker
theatre. The most significant occur
ence of the evening was the enthus-
iasm which greeted interpolated pict-
ures of the United States troops, an
enthusiasm which gathered force un-
til the theatre was ringing with
cheers.
The photoplay loses no opportun-
ity to impress the spectator with the
supposition that the Sarajevo incl
dent was not accidental but cody
and carefully planned by the German
emperor and his advisors.
At the Grand next Thursday and
Friday, twice daily, 2:15 and SIS.

IN Memory.

Memorial day.
The plum and apple trees with lavish
hand
Their offerings hay.
And how in many . halt forgotten

Sweet violets spring,
And over many sacred unmarked

Their fragrance fling.

And how bright buttercups, and daisy
flower
And clover bloom
Bless many mound m unknoWn

Or forest gloom.
Almost it seems God sees the hearts
that yearn,
Denied by space
This rite, and marks, Himself, with
flower or fern
Each haIlowed place.

Old Estes House
Served Wounded

Will the old Estes house on Main
street ever be used again as a war
hospital.
Probably not as the government has
made other arrangements for the care
OF the sick in the present war.
Nevertheless. the old building did
great service as a war hospital dur
ing the days of the rebellion, and the
nearness Of Memorial day brings back
m emories.
The older residents of Keokuk well
remember the time when every room
in the Estes house was turned into a
hospital ward 1t was after the bat
tie of Shiloh in 1852 that the first
wounded were brought there. Many
injured men were sent to ST. Louis
but the badly wounded were rushed
to Keokuk. Nearly every bed in every
ward of the hospital was occupied as
a result. ~

STATE GUARD NOW

Equipment Of Special Target
Rifles Arrive. Major Douw
To Coach Guardsmen.

1t has been officially announced
that a good sum was realized from
the Easter dance given by Company
NJ of the State Guard last Monday
night. There have come many re
quests that the Guard give another
dance in the near future, and it has
been decided to do this, but the date
has not been setted upon.
The baance of the uniforms for the
company arrived yesterday. Com
pany NJ is now fully equipped with
uniform and has also target rifles and
ammunition.
The Company has a very good in
door range at the armory on Bladen
street and will be put through a
course in target practice. Major John
dep Douw, who is an expert rife shot,
has very kindly agreed to coach the
beginners in rife practice. He rep
resented the State of Maryland for
many years on the rife teams in vari-
Gus important matches, and is consid-
cred an authority on rife shooting.
The State Guardsmen look forward
to their coaching in rife practice with
keen interest.

SOLDIERS, NOT GUNS. WIN

large loss of life for a city in which
many times as many persons die each
day from natural causes. If it contin-
ued for many years Paris would not be
really endangered.
There is evident in this lombard

That is absolutely necessary if starya-
ton for our allies and soldiers in
France is 20 be warded of This APP
peal comes al a time when the arm
les in Europe are locked in a death
struggle when men are heroically
throwing themselves in the path OF
the oncuming Huns with death almost
certain and when the cause OF human
liberty is in the balance. Shall we
heed the call? Shall we reduce our
consumption Of wheat by half?
II We could but understand the need
and could know the suffering and
starvation that would follow our re-
fusal to do as we have been directed
we haven't a doubt but that 80 per
cent Of the American people would not
only cut out half OF their wheat prod
ucts, but that they would do absolute
~ without any wheat.
Can't we do that much.
Is our acquired taste more precious
than the life of some French or Bel
gian baby? Would we insist on hav-
ing that which we prefer to eat if we
could but know that our greed would
cause our own brave soldiers TO go
hungry. weaken their lighting and,
perhaps. cost many of them their
lives?
If we can not make such small sac
rihces as this for the cause of liberty
and for the sake of starving human
ity. we are degenerate sons and daugh-
ters of worthy sires and we deserve to
have the foot of the Hun upon our
necks for the remainder of our miser-
able lives
