START DRIVE ON
BOOTLEGGERS ON
SUBURBAN ISLAND

Prima facie evidence that SUI
burban Island is now the property
OF the city of Davenport and is I'M
der the supervision OF the park
commissioners is to be seen in the
general cleanup process that is
now under way.
All the dilapidated buildings are
being torn down and all question
able characters will be kept off the
property. This includes the large
number of bootleggers who have
been infesting the island ever since
Iowa went dry.
Campers and those having sum
mer cottages on the island must
hereafter secure permission OF the
park board.
No important Improvements, II IS
announced, will be made on the
property at present. in the course
of time an automobile driveway
will be constructed TO connect the
island with the Iowa shore line and
other notable improvements made.
A fine bathing beach is one of the
more notable Improvements in con-
temptation.

MILAN BOY SEES TUSCANIA SUNK BY
TORPEDO AS HE STANDS ON BOARD A
VESSEL 200 YARDS IN REAR OF HER

Carl Nice of Milan saw the Tus-
CANA torpedoed according TO a let
ter received by Herman Williams
OF Milan.
Nice was on board a ship. about
two hundred yards behind the Tus-
cania. He is yeoman. He has
been across the Atlantic three
times He describes the attack by
. submarine in the following letter,
written from southern port:
You Will no doubt be surprised
to hear from me away down in this
country but we are down here after
supplies and of course that &C
counts for my being away down
here. l will probably be here only
for four days so answer at --
as we expect TO be there within the
next two weeks. And believe ME il
sure is some weather down here,
and Of course you probably envy
me while you are tolerating the

several aeroplanes maneuvering

the dirty work, that is the dark
outline of il in the water, and il
was lucky for US that we did not
get torpedoed as she had her stern

a torpedo. When the Tuscania was
opposite us all her lights came on
and l could see very distinctly. as
We were then only about $50 yards
from her, the boats being lowered
away and men jumping over the
side into the ice cold water We
could have taken of every trooper
but our instructions were to speed
TO our safety and let the torpedo

work. II was with heavy hearts
that we left the Tuscania behind

submarine appeared at our stern
and the starboard gun fired two
shots and made two hits. Next
morning We were informed that a
submarine was found on the beach
with her connin.5 tower smashed TO
pieces and a hole through her side
and the crew was captured. We
do not know whether the above can
be relied upon but an officer in the
