AMERICA is AT LAST AWAKENING TO
NECESSITY OF IMPROVED PHYSICAL
CONDITION SAYS FORMER PRESIDENT

Former President W. H. Taft,
who comes to Augustana gymna-
SUM to give an address June 49,
says America is at last awaken
ing to the necessity of an improved
physical condition of its people,
in discussing the nationwide phys
ical regeneration movement launch
ed by the National Security league
through its committee On physi-
cal reserve. Walter Camp, author
ity on athletics, is chairman of
the committee.
The leagues program is based
upon the physical Improvement
scheme which was worked out for
the original senior service corps,
formed in New Haven last year by
Mr.. Camp" continued Mr.. Taft. Il
approved heartily of that move
ment and have been deeply inter-
ested in it since its organization.
Similarly. l approve of the extern
sion of the movement under the
auspices of the National Security
league and hope that every Ameri-
can community will take up ac-
lively the question of physical fit
ness, as urged by the league.
Physical preparedness is a vital
part OF our national defense in this
world struggle and every Ameri-
can community which succeeds i'll
improving its physical condition is
directly adding to the national as
set of health, vigor and endurance.
THE program which he Secur
ity league has undertaken appeals
especially to me perhaps because
it was originally designed for NEE
of mature years who are tied down
closely to the Office chair and desk.
the recitation room or lecture plat
form. At the same time, it is just
as important for the younger men
to learn the lesson and apply the
general rules of physical better
ment as for the men of middle age
to do so"
Since the announcement of the
Security leagues campaign less
than a month ago, the mayors OF
more than three hundred impor-
tant cities have named committees
to cooperate with Mr. Camp, which
are at work on the program out
lined by the committee on physi-
cal reserve
The special exercises employed
were designed by Mr. Camp. They
formed the basis of the work %
the senior service corps which he
established in many cities and are
in use in many of the naval train
ing stations. The exercises have
been adopted by the Nationalla
Tennis association. which has also
pledged the tennis players az
America to the promotion of the
Security league movement.
THE revelations made by tho
draft and by the physical examina-
tons OF the volunteer soldiers have
been astounding" says FIR Camp
In some districts, not one man in
five was found physically fit.
THE exercises which our com
mittee is urging upon the people
Of America require only 10 min

CALLS ON union
MEN FOR MARCR
Executive Board of Tri-C City FEEDER.
alton of Labor Wants All In
Parade.

Charles J. MACEDONIAN, president
of the Tri-City Federation of La
Dor, on behalf of the executive body
of that organization, today called
upon all trade unionists in Rock
Island to join in the celebration of
Liberty day.
In order to clearly impress the
public with the firm stand labor
has taken back of the country
war program, Mr.. MACEDONIAN urged
that union men of the city turn out
en- masse and join in the Liberty
day parade. He has urged that all
union men be at Twenty-tirst
street and Third avenue, between 6
and $50 O'Clock Friday night. They
will march in mass formation, and
not by separate organizations. Suit
able banners VIII be provided.
Mr.. MACEDONIAN said today that at
the meeting last night of the COM
mittee which is arranging for con-
verting the first floor of the Indus
trial home into club room for the
men of organized labor, sub-com-
mittee on ways and means was ap-
pointed to investigate the cost and
the method of raising the money.
The subcommittee will meet to-
morrow night and will report to
the general committee at a session
Sunday morning.

BARN CONTENTS
LOST IN BLAZE
Structure Belonging to J. F. Cham
bers Containing Three Horses
and Harness Total Loss.

Early this morning fire destroyed
a small barn containing three
horses and two sets of harness, be-
longing to ]. F. Chambers, 545
Twenty-first avenue.
The building and its contents
were a total loss, Mr.. Chambers
estimating the value of the prop
erty destroyed at approximately
$500. There was no insurance.
The fire department was called but
the blaze had gained too great d
Roadway before it was discovered.
The cause of the fire remains q
mystery. According to Mr.. Cham
bers a valuable dog which he kept
in the building was stolen a few
nights ago and it is the supposition
that more than one person desired
the canine. His theory is that the
second party, unaware of the alb
sence of the dog, struck a match
in his search for it, thereby caus-
ing the blaze. There is no evil
dence to support this suppositiou,
however.

BOY SCOUTS To
WORK SATURDAY
VIII Start Cleaning Campaign for
Third Liberty Loan at End
OF This Week.
REVIEWS WORK OF THE LADS
Committee Gives Resume of What
Organization Has Done Along
Patriotic Lines.

In announcing today that the Boy
Scouts will Saturday open the
cleaning campaign for the third
Liberty loan, a resume of the work
of the scouts thus far has been
prepared by the Liberty loan COM
mittee.
The statement SAYS:
Since the United States entered
the war Rock Island has shown in
full its patriotism whenever called
upon. The women have been maxi
ing records at the Red Cross rooms
that are unsurpassed by any city in
the district the size of Rock Island.
They have also worked increasingly
in the campaigns for raising funds.
THE men too have shown pat
riotic spirit to be proud of. Time
and again have they laid their bus
mess affairs aside to go out and
canvass for funds to help carry on
the war, and no small number of
them have suffered financial loss
in thus neglecting their business.
There is still another group of
patriots here in Rock Island that
has been doing it's full share in
raising the various patriotic<funds,
and owing to it's code which calls
upon 1t to always dc its full duty
whenever summoned upon without
unnecessary boast or brag, num-
Der of citizens do not realize what
a large share this organization has
had in the success of the various
campaigns. We refer to the Rock
Island Boy Scouts.
"One year ago there were only
two troops of Boy Scouts in the
city, the'to number of boys en-
this number had been increased
to five troops and 81 scouts and to-
day there are Is troups and 300
scouts, all organized under gen.
eral executive committee and scout
executive, w. F. Bacon.
Since the outbreak of the war
Rock Island has called on these
boys time and again and they have
gladly given their services at every
call. A good example of the work
they are doing has been shown in
the present Liberty loan campaign.
On the Saturday before the present
campaign opened, although the
rain poured all day, the boys
distributed and placed in the
store windows. 1000 Liberty loan
posters and 1000 hand bills. They
divided the city, including Sears,
and covered every foot of it. On
the following Monday afternoon 1913
Scouts reported at headquarters
and delivered nearly three thou
sand of the Liberty bells. These
were all hung on the door knobs
in the residence section and the
work was completed in 40 minutes.
They also acted as ushers at the
patriotic meeting addressed by Gov
ernor Lowden, and then turned out
il a body to act as an escort in the
