Haig Tells Troops that the Crisis is
Past.

Haig Tells Troops that the Crisis is
Past.
Field Marshal Haig. commander in
chief of the British forces in France
issued a special order Of the day to the
British troops, dated Aug. 4. the ami
versary Of Great Britain's entry into
the war. The order says:
The conclusion Of the fourth year
Of the war marks the passing Of the
period Of crisis. We can now with ad-
ded confidence look forward to the fu-
ture.
The revolution IN Russia set free
large hostile forces on the eastern
front, which were transferred to the
west. 1t was the enemy's intention to
use the great numbers thus created to
gain a decisive victory before the ar
rival Of American troops should give
superiority to the Allies.
1.-The enemy made his efforts to OBJ
tain a decision on the west front and
failed. The steady stream Of Ameri-
can troops arriving in FrcncC, has re-
stored the balance. The encmy's first
and most powerful blow fell on the
British. The superiority Of the force
was nearly three TO one. Although he
succeeded in pressing back parts of
the fronts attacked. the British line
remained unbroken.
After many days Of heroic fighting,
the glory Of which will live for all his
tory Of our race, the enemy Is held.
At the end of four years Of war, the
magnificent fighting qualities and
spirit OF our troops remain of the high
est order. thank them for the devoted
bravery and unshaken resolution with
which they responded to my appeal at
the height of the struggle. I know
they will show that steadfastness and
courage in whatever task they may
yet be called upon to perform"

had the following
I'VE are surprised at the tenor Of
the report sent To the State and the
News and Courier by Mr.. Irby koon.
1t and the headlines in both papers
do the people of Nrwbrrry an in
justice. We have attended many
campaign meetings in Newbcrry for
the past thirty years. and back in
the days when there were lively times,
and Il word. or an overt act might
have resulted in bloodshed. but there
was nothing in the meeting on We'd
nesday to justify such headlines as
Row narrowly averted at Ncwbcrry."
and near hloodshed and all that sort
II waa one of the most dccorous and
orderly political meetings we have
ever attended. especially when the
tension was the least strong.
when Mr.. Chappell asked and Mr..
Pollock answered the qucst0h as to
the loyalty of Blcasc and those who
would vote for him. Mr.Chappell add
ed that. You are coward to make
such statements elsewhere. and then
not do it in Newberry." and started
over the railing. but when Chairman
Blease requested him to take his seat
Mr.. Chappell sat down. And when the
other Pollock incident took place Mr..
Chappell was going out of the court
room and met Mr.. Pollock, who
spoke. calling Chappell by name and
extending his hand. and it was then
that Chappell cursed him and refused
to shake his hand. Mr. Eugene Blcase
requested Mr.. Chappell to not have
any trouble and he again went on. Mr..
Chappcll says that he did not have
any knife in his hand or on his per-
son."
The Observer. opposed to Bleasc. in
its issue of the same day US the Her.
aid and News has the following ac-
count OF the same incident:
County Chairman Blease in open
ing the meeting pleaded for fair and
attentive hearing for all the candi-
dates. and introduced the speakers in
the following order: For the short
term. W. =. Pollock and Christie Ben
ct: for the long term. Mr.. Rice and
n. b. Dial.
The speeches were all confineI to
issues and to the record of ex-Gover-
nor Blease, and were void Of objec-
tionable personalities.
The Observer representative at
tended the meeting. not for the pur-
pose Of reporting the speeches. for II
would be impossible to publish all
that was said. but for the purpose of
noting anything that would be Of un-
usual interest to the people.

Representatives of the Tri-city
Garbage Disposal company were
heard at a special meeting OF the
city commission at the city hall at
2 o'clock this afternoon.
The tri-city company has con-
tracts with Moline and Davenport,
providing for the collection OF city
garbage and it's disposal. At the
meeting this afternoon, contract
terms were tentatively discussed
with members of the city body. No
definite action was taken.
The garbage disposal question is
one which has caused Rock Isiand
much expense and trouble. Councu
members, according to their own
statements, are more than willing
to entertain concrete suggestions
which would prove beneficial to
the community in this regard.
The Tri-city Garbage Disposal
company has thus far handled the
garbage question in Moline very
satisfactorily and at small cost
compared to previous city expendi-
lures for this department.
