- Spend $4,000.

The bid of the Tri-City Disposal
company for the collection of gar
bage and rubbish in Rock Island
was rejected by the city commits
sioners at their regular session yes
terday afternoon.
Commissioner Liedtke submitted a
resolution for the rejection of the
bid, which was unanimously adopt
ed The bid of $4,000 was con-
sidered by the commissioners as too
high for the services to be rendered,
especially at this time when the
city has completed the greater
amount Of the work for the year.
Early in the. spring is when heavy
hauling is necessary. The commits
sioners expressed the opinion that
il probably would be better to ad-
vertise for bids to collect garbage
alone or for bids for the garbage
after the city has made the collec-
tons.
The matter was laid over until
late this afternoon when a special
meeting will be held to consider
other municipal matters. The gar
bage situation will be further dis
cussed at this time.

/. Commissioner JuhI stated at the
meeting yesterday that $5,572 had
already been expended in his de-

tract was entered into. He further
stated that the expenses for the re-
mainder of the year would not ex-

Superb resistance by American,
French and Italian troops held the
Germans to minimum gains. Be
tween 100000 and 100000 men were
thrown into the battle line by the
German command. Despite these
huge numbers and the use of every
facility of offense and destruction
known to the enemy, Berlin was
able to report officially Monday
night only that ito the southwest

Large forces were concentrated
to be thrown across the Marine
and bridges were laid between Fos-
soy and Dormans. American
troops, fighting with great dash,

hurled it against the river. Near
Fossoy, the enemy was thrown
back to the north bank by the i'm

between one thousand and one
thousand five hundred prisoners,
