CHAPTER CALLS
MORE To SERVE
Months Quota OF Surgical Dress
ings for Local Branch far Ex-
ceeds Any Preceding.

The Red Cross is calling out the
second draft" of its surgical
dressings workers-those who have
not taken the surgical dressings
course; these are the so-called
volunteers" they include every
wShan in Rock Island who has as
much as an hours time which she
will devote to the work of helping
save soldiers lives.
The months quota for the Rock
Island chapter far exceeds any pre-
viously assigned. 1t consists OF
the articles which go to make up
trench packets. and the number
Rock Island has been asked to
produce is 5000 pads with muslin
bandage attached. 10000 gauze
drains and 10000 tampons. The
quota was not received until 10
days after the first OF the month,
so that the task which faces the
women of the city is a real one,
The great need which has neces-
STATED the call arises out of the
fact that the battle on the western
front is rapidly piling up the num-
Der of wounded. In addition thou
sands of men are being sent into
the trenches. among them are our
own men. And all must carry with
them a compact kit of surgical ap.
pliances.
Every vacant chair in the local
workshop will carry challenge to
women of Rock Island. The shop
is open every day from 8 a. N. to
4:30 p. m. and on Monday and
Tuesday evenings from z to 9.
There should be a worker in every
chair during every open hour. The
work is easy and pleasant; the
need is grave and immediate; Rock
Island can have no slackers in
such situation. A big climb to-
wards the top of that quota must
be made next week.

Car Jumps Track-When a north
bound Milwaukee extra freight was
rounding the curve on the main
line along the brick wall of the
river front park yesterday morn
ing, a freight car left the track and
tore away the brick pedestal and
light standard and section of the
wall at the foot of Harrison street.
Just what caused the car to leave
the rails is not known but the de-
railment happened at a point
where the most damage could be
done to the wall. The big brick
pedestal, which is about six feet
square, and the iron light standard
on top OF it were forced from the
foundation and toppled over, and
damaged beyond repair. A short
section of the brick wall was also
torn out. The car, which contained
a quantity of bulk sulphur, was
badly damaged, the front trucks
being torn from under the car, and
the body of the car being twisted
and damaged almost beyond repair.
A telephone pole near by was brok-
en- at its base, but the wire strung
on it held it up.

Aircraft Valuable
How large and important was the
part which aviation played in the Of
fcnsive operations at st. Mihiel is told
in dispatches which give some details
of the first four days of the fighting
in that sector.
In spite Of the heavy rains which
had transformed the airdromes into seas
of mud and thus seriously handicapped
the aviatOrs in their take offs and
landings, in two days the aViatOrs made
$500 sorties aggrcgating 1000 flying
hours. They thoroughly bombed the
enemy air4rOmes so that the foe was
unable to accomplish much in air oh
serVation or in air defense. Besides
this the Allied pilots and observers
fired more than 10000 rounds from
their machine gun at rOnvOys and at
other points where the enemy was con
grrgated in force.

NO BARGAINING

The reply of France to the Aus
trian note is told in official des-
patches from Paris received last
night. Foreign Minister Pinchon
has sent to Vienna, through the
proper Intermediates, a copy of,
the official journal of the senate
which contains the text of Gle
.menceau's speech to that body on
Wednesday IN which ne said:
ave will fight on until the enemy
understands that bargaining be-
tween crime and right is no long
er possible. We want a Just and
a strong peace. This constitutes
the reply of France to the note of
Austria.
The Belgian foreign minister
has stated that the German offer
to Belgium cannot be- taken as a
basis for serious discussion. He
said it had been informally receiv-
ed and had come through an in
direct channel.
Advices from Rome yesterday
said that the Italian government
had at that time no official knowl-
edge OF the Austrian peace note,
the only information received
having come from press des-
patches. The semi-official Stefani
news said the indications were
that the government would make
no move to enter negotiations
even if later request shall be re-
ccived from Austria.
