Two noted writer's. especially be

Tri-City Press club with their pres

organization at the Rock Island
club last evening.
William G. Shepherd, writer for
many news syndicates and an au-
thority on the Russian situation
and causes of the Russian debacle,
talked briefly to the club members
preceding their dinner at 6 O'Clock.
Mr.. Shepherd was brought to Mo
line by the After-Dinner club of
that city, before which he talked on
the Russian situation last night.

the Russian soldier knew that all
was well at home and that the home

Beware Reports.
Beware of the reports emanat-
ing from Germany through neutral
channels. Accept them with grain
of salt With just such reports
Germany deluged Russia before the
Brest-Litovsk negotiations, and
Russia believed. The Russian peo-
pie were convinced that they were
dealing with a new Germany. a
demOcratized Germany. All the
world knows now how they were
fooled and hoodwinked"
Although arriving late, Floyd
Gibbons, war correspondent for a
Chicago paper, dined with the club
through the courtesy of Otto Prizes
ter, representing Amoo grotto. Mr.
Gibbons was accompanied by his
brother and manager. He talked
briefly after the dinner, emphaSiZ-
ing to the news men the Importance
of looking with suspicion upon dis
patches filtering from Germany
through neutral channels, especi-
ally Amsterdam and Berne. He de-
clared that such reports narrating
unsound military, economic and in
dustrial conditions within the EN-
pire were highly coIored and should
be accepted with "a grain of salt
He stated that such dispatches
fooled Great Britain's press for two
years and aided in giving to the
English a false feeling of confidence
which proved highly dangerous.
Germany Not Whipped.
Germany is pictured in dire
straits" declared Mr. Gibbons, by
these stories. She is starving; on
the verge of a revolution; bank
rupt, and what not Beware, for
she is yet strong and mighty and
internal conditions are kept well in
hand by the military. She is far
from whipped, but the danger of
over-confidence she well under
stands. Therefore the subtle prop
uganda through the press C the
allied countries, who unwittingly
accept the suspicious dispatches
and give them prominence"
Immediately after the press club
meeting Mr. Gibbons proceeded to
college, where he deliv-
cred an address.
Rumors that he would be unable
to be present at the dinner were re
sponsible Tor the absence of many

WEST END STATION
OPEN FOR WEIGHING
OF TOTS UNDER SIX

Mothers who have not yet at
tended to the matter OF having
their children under six years of
ag. weighed and measured may do
so by taking them to the West End
Settlement any Wednesday after
noon from 2 to O'Clock. A ply
stefan and nurse will be there to
weigh and measure the children
and also to give suggestions to par
ents regarding the proper course to
take with reference to the health
Of the children.
The headquarters of the student
nurses corps IN DR.. E. M. Sala's
office, Nineteenth street and Fourth
avenue, will be open after 2
o'clock any day, and after $3.50
DR.. Phoebe Pearsall will be in the
office to examine the little folks
and give suggestions on their care.
In case there are mothers who pre-
fer to have their family physician
examine their children, they are
asked to apply for cards at the
women's committee council defense
headquarters, 3I1 Robinson build
ing. These cards should be filled
out by the family physician and
then returned to the committee
rooms where they will be filed, and
copies sent to the state and national
headquarters.
Other stations aside from those
already mentioned, will not be
maintained by the wOmen's COM
mittee, council defense.
AS often said before it is a gov
eminent requirement that parents
have their children under six years
of age examined and weighed AMI
the names properly listed for use
of the national government. Cases
have frequently arisen where the
birth certificate is necessity and
at this time especially the import
ance of the measure is very appar-
ent Birth certificates are now re-
quired for entrance into school
Later there may be the question of
inheriting property, or the question
of securing work-the cases are
many and varied where such a rec
ord is most necessary.
Two Rock Island districts have
reported a 100 per cent
record and those in charge of the
measure are anxious that the 9TH
ers report the canvass complete at
once.

war correspondent, and him

an eye.
In a base hospital in France
Speaking of after-the-war occu-
pations, Dan Bailey, leg off just be-
low the knee, declared that he would
have no trouble finding work after
the war as a roller skating instruc-
tor in the States.
Foster, who has lost his right
arm, says he is not worrying, for
he has already signed a contract to
pitch for the St Louis Nationals.
AS the first troopships made
ready to discharge the first large
consignment of American soldiers
on the soil of France, a Yank lean
ed over the rail and through cupped
hands demanded of a comrade
ashore who had arrived with Cen
eraI Pershing, Say, DO, do they al
low enlisted men in saloons here?"
4 greeting by a second man was
of a somewhat more serious strain.
He yelled, Say, where in hell is
all this trouble, anyway"
Two Yanks were surveying an
old church of ancient architecture.
The cutters had been worn smooth
by time and weather. Said one,
I'll bet a plumber hasn't worked
on this place for 200 years"
Said the other: You amt got no
appreciation for art. This place is
thousands of years old. 1t was here
that history was made centuries
ago when Caesar Joined Napoleon
in an attack against the Crusaders"
A counter attack was to be made
by a platoon of American marines
in Belleau wood They were lying
at the edge of a small cluster of
trees looking out across a fiat field
of wheat, the tops of which swayed
as though from a strong breeze.
But not from a natural breeze. for

tenant had been shot The order
jumping erect in that hail of lead,
started for the other side. To his
men, Come on. damn you, do you
want to live forever"
The Germans say that the British
are in the war through hate, the
French because they cannot help
themselves, and the Americans TO
collect souvenirs.
A dOughboy was coming down the
road driving two Hun prisoners.
He was laden with loot A dozen
Luden automatic pistols (German)
valued at SIS each swung from one
hip, while fully that many pairs of

was grinning broadly as in broken
French he urged his captives on
What is your name and rank?" I
asked. He told me. 1t was Private
Harry Silverstein.
A disguised marine, GUESSING the
war department, the French. Ger
mans and everyone in general, was
sitting by the roadside trying to fix
the sole of his shoe which had
worked loose. AS I came up to him,
he glowered at me and said, Il came
here to shoot Germans, not to run
them to death" And a little later.
