Amsterdam, July 13-How the
German emperor pictures the flu

Karl Rosner, of the Lokal Anzeiger.
One evening, the emperor chat
ting with his encourage, spoke with
flowing enthusiasm, says ROsner, of
the time when the forces now let
loose on destruction would again
be placed in the service of peaceful
pursuit. He sketched far reaching
advances in the technical domain,
in physics. chemistry and scientific
farming and forecast that Ger
many's needs in nitrate would be
covered by extracting nitrate from
the air.
The emperor then described the
marvellous possibilities" of the new
gas motors and how purified waste
waters from metal works would
serve to fertilize the fields so that
deserts will blossom like roses and
make arid regions self supporting
as regards food.

continued ROsner, the emperor pre-
dicted the Harvesting of the rays of
the sun ana the recovery of the
oceans innermost treasures.
This viii all come TO pass, the
emperor assured his hearers, once
Germany secured the strong
peace for which he is working.

UNIFORM CAUSES
CHANGE IN THIS
CASE ALL RIGHT

For a time yesterday 1t looked as
if Richard Daebelliehn OF the Unit
ed States army wasn't going TO get
married in Moline yesterday. The
young soldier dropped into Justice
Entrikin's office yesterday, spoke a
few words to him and departed.
The justice phoned County Clerk
Hubbard that Daebelliehn and a
certain young lady would be down
in a short time to secure a wedding
license. The clerk informed the
justice that Daebelliehn could not
secure a license in the county or
the state because only last October
he was divorced.
But this did not stump the JUS
tice and putting UP a wager with
the county clerk he hurriedly de-
parted for his office. There another
argument ensued, the clerk still
maintaining that such a marriage
would be illegal.
But" said Daebelliehn," I'm go
ing TO marry the lady from whom l
was divorced"
This silenced the clerk complete
ly and apologies were in order.
Following the ceremony which unit
ed Mr.. Daebelliehn and Grace Dae-
bellehn the former departed for a
southern training camp.
Justice Entrikin today wears a
smile of satisfaction. The clerk did
not win the wager.

HOSPITAL CANS
GREAT AMOUNT
WATERFOWL Institution Plans to Put
Up 5000 Gallons of Produce
From Own Gardens.

In response to the government re-
quests for canning fruits and yege-
tables employees at the Watertown
hospital are busily engaged in put
ting up the vegetables which are
grown in the hospital gardens. The
idea is really not so new at the hos
pitaI for every year the canning Of
produce grown on the grounds
means a big saving in food bills
during the winter months, but this
year even an extra effort to con-
serve is being put forth. Accord
ing to DR.. NJ. c. Hawley, superin-
tendent. from 1000 to 5000 gallons
are annually preserved and as many
as 1900 gallons of beans and corn
alone are canned. This week peas
and beans are being put up.
If present plans are carried on
next Wednesday dynamite will be
used TO break a certain vein in the
ground near the hospital pumping
station in an effort to secure a
greater flow of water.
William ScholtZ, who escaped
from the institution the other day,
has been reported found in Fulton,
Ill A hospital official today leaves
for Fulton to bring him back.
Scholtz is a parole patient. Mike
Raridan, who escapes periodically

ported at that city. He probably
will be brought back to Watertown

AMERICANS AND
FRENCH NEARLY
STAGE A FIGHT

Paris.-French and American
soldiers almost clashed in a moving
picture house here the other night
because the French mistook the ap
proving whistles of the Americans
to signify criticism.
When a picture of Premier Glenn
enceau was flashed on the screen
there was a chorus of enthusiastic
whistles from the Americans. The
French were aghast, taking it for
sign of ridicule. Despite the
friendly feeling between the two
races of fighting men, the poilus
made a rush for the Americans. The
clash was only ayerted by explain
ing that the Americans were reg
istering their admiration for the
French premier.
In France whistling denotes bit
ter criticism, displeasure and dis
approval

SCHOOL FOR CHAPLaINS.

The third session of the training
school for chapIains , is now in
progress. Major Alfred a. Pruden,
chaplain OF the coast artillery
corps, is in charge.
The training school is modelled
on the lines of the reserve officers
training school. Stress is laid up
on theological instruction. 1t is
understood by the government
that all candidates have had the
necessary theological education
when their applications are accept
ed by their UNCONVENTIONAL chap
lain committees, the general COM
mittee on army and navy chap
Iains, or the Catholic chaplains'
bureau.
According to the federal council
Of churches, the faculty of the
training school includes represen-
tatives from the Episcopal church,
the Methodist Episcopal. the Bap-
fist. and the Roman Catholic.
Among the candidates are Roman
Catholics and members of the Au-
gustinian, the Jesuit. and the Re
demptional orders, Baptists, Pres
byterians, Methodists. Episcopali-
ans, ngreRationalists. Iutherans.
and Disciples, all working ana
comforting together.
The next session of the training
school will open July II. The
course covers a period OF five
weeks. During the time of instruc-
ton the candidates receive the sal
airy and wear the uniform of a pri-
vate of the United States army.
The facilities OF the school have
been so enlarged as to accommo-
date $50 candidates. This increase
has been necessitated by the de-
mand for chaplains created by the
recent passage of the bill allow
ing one chaplain for each 1000 Of
ficers and men.

SELL Beer OUT
ON RURAL ROAD
Discover One Liquor Dispensary in
COanty Housed in Tent at Side
of Country Highway.

At the border of q wet and dry
township somewhere in Rock Is
land county stands an old circus
tent A dusty country road runs
past the place and a pasture with
grazing cows is opposite. Save for
an occasional passing motor car,
life around that spot formerly was
rather quiet. But not so now. The
road is cut up as if by many wheels
and the grass bordering the high
way is trampled: Beside the can
vas shelter are to be seen two men.
Within the tent are numerous sus-
picious barrels. This, dear readers,
is the setting of what may be the
only beer dispensing establishment
in Rock Island county.
Yes, it is really a saloon. Flynn
& Wood are the proprietors. The
men were not eager to discuss their
past history or present occupation.
The location is outside the five-mile
zone. On being questioned, one of
the managers of the rural thirst
parlor volunteered a little informa-
ton to an interviewer.
He stated that they sold several
well known brands of beer But
we don't deliver. No, sir, we don't
deliver. And you have to sign a
statement" he supplemented. The
statement reads as follows: This
beer is for the use of myself and
bona fide guests only. l do not
live in Iowa. Signed ..........''
When asked how persons living in
side the five-mile zone stood in re-
gard to the matter of obtaining
liquor one Of the propTietors stated
that they were not attempting to
buck the government, and that 1t
was ell right to take reasonable
quantity of liquor into ones home.
When asked where they secured the
beer the man smiled and limited
that sometimes a fellow could have
business secrets.
You have got to come and get
it." continued one of the men, land
we don't sell in less than ffve-gal-
lon quantities. You've got to carry
it away in the original package,
too"
Business is pretty good" he add
ed, but we're not going to stay
here all the time. I kind of think
that after we sell out our present
stock we will quit"
1t is rumored that close to this
same spot the Rock IslaT6 Brew
ing company is contemplating the
establishment of warehouse
Flynn & Wood declared the deal
was already completed. But the
company did not agree with this
statement
