Corporal ]. f. Hickman, who is
in France. writes as follows to
mis- mother, Mrs. y H. Hickman,
1907 Seventeenth street:
Il can assure you that l am very
much contented with everything ia

prlsed if the papers would contain
some very interesting news regard
ing events before this reaches you.
At any rate, l have a kind OF pre-
sentiment that such will be the case.
Guess the American soldiers Gave
introduced a style Of fighting into
Europe that the Huns don't seem
to understand, and as the average
American can hit a Hun nine times
out Of 10 at almost any distance.
guess they have begun to lose faith
IN their war Gott' to protect them.

its ambitions that they don't know
anything about a nation as power

If Americans were so niggaTdly,

Huns have proven themselves to

FRENCH FLEET TO
HELP ALLENBY IN
SMASH ON TURKS

Paris, Oct. Announcement of
the landing of French naval forces
at Beirut is enthusiastically re
ceived by the public, which is graft
fed that the French feet has a
share in the magnificent achieve
ments of General AIlenby. The
Matin says: with the fall of
Beirut the principal Austro-Turk-
ish base in sylvia coilapses- The
Franco British troops have only to
march a few days to reach the Bag
dad railroad and break Germany s
dreams Of eastern greatness.
The landing seems to be an op-
Grafton distinct from the land
movement which brought about the
fall Of Damascus. The official re
port indicates that this bold stroke
Of the French naval forces will have
a great effect on COnstantinOpie,
where ii will throw confusion into
the ruling element which is seeking
TO belittle the advance Of General
Allenby's men.
in addition it will have \ great
moral and political significance"

HONOR FLAG is
EXPECTED HERE
Banner VIII BE Awarded City Pro-
YidiRg Liberty Loan Quota is
Reached in Drive.

The community honor flag will
soon be awarded to Rock Island if
the hopes of the fourth Liberty loan
committee are realized at Wednes-
day noon S meeting at the Rock Is
land club.
This has been announced as the
over the top" meeting and is ex-
pected to mark the close Of the most
strenuous subscription campaign
ever undertaken in this vicinity.
Rock Island must make good its
ass gned quota in order to win one
Of the coveted emblems.
The honor flag is similar to the
one used in the previous campaign,
bearing four blue stripes indicat-
ing the fourth Liberty loan. This
emblem will be distributed only
from Chicago headquarters to state
or county chairmen upon notice
that a geographical unit has equal
ed or exceeded its allotment, but
the award is made only when the
community's full quota has been
reached and 20 per cent or more of
the population have subscribed.
These units may be counties, CIT
les, townships or villages.
The purpose of this distinctive
emblem is two-fold: A tangible
recognition of work done and a
means of promoting and encourage
ing competition among geograph-
ical units Of the same general char
acter and size While Rock Island
can not earn the distinction of be-
ing the first city in the state to go
over the top, the determination of
the campaign committee to have its
work all cleaned up by tomorrow
noon will at least enable it to be
among the first and the honor will
be just as much cherished as though
it had come a little sooner To fail
absolutely in winning it would be a
disgrace and there is no inclination
to entertain the thought that there

SUGAR SUPPLE S.

The submarine has forced fighting
Europe 10 a very strict sugar ration
and compelled America to look the
situation squarely in the face. There
is only so much sugar. there are GER
tain definite needs. and the problem
before us is finding a practical plan
of distribution The Food Admins
tration has adopted a certificate sys-
ten % meet the household needs dur
ing the comins canning season. and
to guard against temporary shortages
that may occur If more vessels are
diverted from the Cuban trade.
The consumer is asked to estimate
his needs and fill out a certificate
which viii be furnished him by his
grocer The dealer is required to
forward this certificate to Federal
Food Administrator Merrill within
one week after it is turned into him.
This plan puts the question up to
the individual, and the Food Admin
fstration asks the assistance OF every
householder in bringing about a
practical distribution. The success
OF the plan depends on the good
sense and good will OF the American
citizen. Cooperation. prompt action
and a democratic sense of fair play
will prevent sugar shortage IN
America during the canning season.

FOR GODS SAKE SEND IT.

The Allies are still hungry and IL
Gods sake send it," was the plea
made recently by British officer to
an American audience.
And who. having heard 1t, having
realized the necessity for the cry
from the brave nations of Europe, can
help saving wheat?
There are two definite appeals
voiced to US there.
The one is TO patriotism and COM
mon sense The Allies cause Is our
causeS our men are fighting shoulder
to shoulder with their men. II food
fails. the fighters must fail; the war
must be lost. None of US are too
ignorant to know what German
victory would mean, especially to the
women and children of the land. So
our love of country. our love of our
homes, our every instinct of self
preservation must make us do each
thing whether great or small toward
victory.
The other appeal is that of human
fly! Who can refuse to deny himself
because OF his greediness, his love OF
his own food habits. when the thought
comes OF the Allies suffering?
Can any one with either sense OF
sensibility keep on eating wheat prod
ucts in the present need? Let that
cry sound in your ears: IF you car
snsre a little more -four, for Gods
sake send it,"
