Rohevt VI. Harper, East Moline
Newspaper Man, Volunteers for
Technical Service. -.

Robert NJ. Harper, business man
ager of the East Moline Herald
Printing company, which publishes
the East Moline weekly newspaper,
has resigned to volunteer for mill
tary service. He expects to be sent
to Peoria where he will receive
technical training at the school

meal college building Being listed
in class OBJ he was not liable for

eagerness to join his country's
fighting forces he waived his CLASH
fication and volunteered. He is to
report Saturday
Mr.. Harper has long been in
newspaper work in East Moline and
for the past five years has been
connected with the Herald. A rep
resentative of the printing company
has stated that the newspaper will
be continued if it is possible to Sc
cure help. It is rumOred that own
eTs of the paper are seeking to Sc
cure a Moline newspaper man.
There is no doubt, however, but
that the printing plant will be con-
tinued.

HIGHER TAXES
ARE DEFEATED
Moline Citizens Vote Against City
Increased Tax Proposition
By Majority Of 1853.

By majority of 1863 votes cit
liens of Moline yesterday went on
record as opposed to the proposed
increase in the city tax rate. More
than SO per cent of the voters re-
manned away from the polls, only
2,206 casting their ballots.
This afternoon the city commits
sion began work on a policy of re-
trenchment and a statement was
issued signed by every member of
the body calling upon Moliners to
cooperate in the serious financial
situation which now faces the city.
The proposition was to increse the
tax levy from $1.20 to 81 on each
500 assessed valuation. Its defeat
may mean reduction in both hre
and police protection, and higher
water rents and license fese.
Approximately 100000 stands
between the revenues and expendi-
lures as planned for the city this
year and with this enormous deficit
facing them commissioners are pre-
pairing to revise the estimates. AS
yet no specific changes in depart
mental appropriations have beene
planned.
The women yesterday gave the
increase proposition a majority of
81 but the men turned the trick
registering $50 for and $50 against.
Following is the unofficial vote in

BLUFF SECTION
is FAVORED BY
HOUSING GROUP

Members of the committee rep
resenting the war department in
the tri-cities who are determining
upon sites for houses soon to be
built for workers on the govern
ment arsenal were in Moline yes
terday and together with City En-
gineer Payton looked over the situ-
alton.
The bluff district seems to be the
favored spot for the new homes,
but the committee did not divulge
the exact location of the areas on
which they have their eye. 1t IS
understood that a big factor in the
selection of the sites will be sewers
and watermains and also the prox-
unity of the section to street car
line.
According to ". H. Kimball, civil
engineer. who was with the party,
about 30 acres will be needed in the

FED FIGHTERS IN
WORLD DOCS SAY

Chicago. June 12-America's SOL
diers are the best fed fighting men
in the world, according to the mes
sage brought to the convention Of
the American Medical association
by DR.. John r. Murlin, advisor to
the war department on matters of
diet.
DR.. MurIin's statement was not
a mere boast, but based on scien-
tifc analysis of the foods served
the various armies. DR.. Murlin be-
lieves that much of the energy dis
played by the Americans is due 10
the food they get.
The rations provided were made
after a careful study of the prov
ender Of other armies. In palata-
bilitv. nutritive values and liber-
ality it is said to be the best.
The American ratio has a food
value Of 1882 calories; the Brit
ish 3.822; the Canadian 2,551. and
the Italian also 2.55f.
The British and Canadian ra-
tions provide more fats; the French
about the same amount and the
Italian less than the Americans"
said Or. Murlin.
The British, Canadian and
American training rations provide
about the same amount of protein;
the French slightly more"
