The question before~the merchant is not merely what he is

This is not merely the enterprsing merchants Of a town are

PICTURE GEORGE Y.
AS DEMOCRATIC" KING
Paris Newspaper Woman Finds
English Monarch to- Be Quite
Common Parsonage.

Paris June 20.--George V. is de-
scribed as q democratic king" by a
woman correspondent of the Petit
Parisien who writes of her visit to
Buckingham Palace on the occasion OF
an open air inVestituTe.
THE sight of King George in the
midst of his people at this ceremony
filled me with mingled establishment
and admiration" she asserts. when
the American labor representatives
said that with King George they had
no impression of being in the presence
of king, they bestowed the highest
praise on one who is only, and who is
quite content to be only, the first gem
tleman of his kingdom.
There is no difficulty about getting

unnecessary to use any influence or
provide oneself with a letter of intro
duction, or even a ticket of admission
the King of England is to be seen
by everybody.
II noted the simplicity of his cos
tune There is nothing to distinguish
him outwardly from all the others.
while God Save the King is being
played he stands at the salute, holding
himself quite straight, his grave frank
Countenance full at once of dignity
and kindness. There is no hysterical
enthusiasm, but in all eyes may be
seen the kind of trust and esteem and
affectionate pleasure with which one
looks upon a kinsman or friend of
whom one is proud.
we have here a truly democratic
sovereign, one who instead of inpos-
ing his will upon the people feels that
he inCarnates their sentiments and
Wishes who associates himself with
their labors and shares their anxieties.

MAY CHANGE WAY OF
PAYING SOLDIERS
Officials Consider Adopting Pay
Book Plan AS Used BY
British Army.

With the American Armies in
France, June 20. Correspondence of
The Associated Press. )--Every Amer
can soldier in France will receive d
"bank book" enabling him to draw
$3.50 a month from any disbursing
officer. if the change in pay methods
Of the American EXpedihonary forces
now under consideration is put into
effect. The purpose is to enable
every soldier to obtain promptly at
least a part of his monthly pay re-
CARELESS of where he may be, whether
in a hospital or with some organiza-
ton other than his own.
The pay book" system is in use
in the British army. The sum of
$3.50 a month has been fixed as the
minimum which a soldier should have
for his personal wants every month
and it would be given to him on his
demand.
Each three or four months there
would be q general accounting, at
which his total pay. his insurance and
other allotment his Liberty Loan
subscriptions and other items would
be cast up, together with his month
ly drafts. The balance then due him
would be put at his disposal.
The soldier would have the advant-
age of being able at all times and
under all circumstances to draw
something from any quartermaster in
whose district he might find himself.
The proposed system would elm
mate the present necessity of having
on hand each soldiers service record
whenever he draws any money. The
service record system. designed for
times of peace, does not take into &C
count the frequent shifts which all
military men must be prepared for.
In many Instances nowadays it works
hardships on individual men who are
transferred faster than their service
records can follow them and who
consequently cannot draw their
money when it Is due, merely be
cause the fornalities cannot be COM
piled with.
The proposed new system appeals
as specially advantageous for camps
where there arc constantly large
numbers of "casuals'~-strays be

FRENCH HEELS MUST GO
Outdoor Activities Among French NIu
nitions Call for Low Heels with
Lame Ankles as Alternative.

Seeing ones first real live Ameri-
can baseball game is thrilling, of
course, but walking six miles to an
American camp with high heeled
shoes on is an argument or low heels.
So French girls may give up their
three-inch high French heels.
It's ali because the War Work Coun-
Gil of the Young Women christian
association has sent over recrea tional
experts to introduce hiking and out
of-dOOr sports of al kinds among
French munitions workers. Such work
was unknown in France and that is
why the French women's committee
asked the American Young Won en- g
Christian association to go over and
start it.
Now French girls are learning to
play basketball, to go on ten-nlile
hikes. to relax and play a bit after their
working hours that they may better
stand the strain of war and of work
ing from in the morning until 7 ut
night.

ton has opened "Foyers des Allies -

rest, to write, to listen to music, to

opened. At Tours where there are
several foyers for women workers, a

The island is right in the center of this

SUGGESTS WAYS.
or CITY SAVING.
Moline Citizen Plans Retrenchments
SO That Fire Department
May BE Lett Intact.

Abolition of the Moline city court,
the temporary abolition OF the office
OF civil engineer, the taking OF the
water meter superintendent job
and that of his assistant over by an
extra man now hired at the water
works, abandonment Of the posi-
ton of health officer and letting po-
lice attend to his duties, abolition
of the position of Office of city
chemist and reductions in the force
of city hall stenographers and tele-
phone exchange operators are the
methods which a certain Moline
man would employ to reduce mu-
Fnicipal expenses and make fire de
partment reductions unnecessary ii
he were a city official.
The citizen who suggested these
measures has studied the situation
closely and believes that his plan
would leave the fire department in
its present condition, but would re-
suit in savings here and there in
departments where the cOnse-
quences would not be so vital to
the city's welfare.
Since it has been announced that
no public improvements are to be
undertaken this year he sees no
reason why a civilengineer should
be employed and he asks what ben
eft the city is gaining in employ
ing a chemist in view of the recent
typhoid epidemic. He thinks that
one stenographer might do all the
city hall work and another system
installed so that the telephone
switchboard operators might be re-
leased. Lastly, he is eager to know
just why $4,000 has been appro-
priated on the revised city budget
for park improvements, for he
states that this enormous amount
seems to him entirely out of place
this year.
