A DAY AND NIGHT
WITH FORCES IN
DEPTH OF FIGHT
A day and a night on the battle

A day and night on the battle
fields and In the service in France
is described In an interesting letter
written by Charles B. Jones, dated
Aug q, battery front, France. The
letter was written to his brother.
T. y. Jones OF Moline. The letter
follows:
One night we had to pull the
guns out from an advanced position
and we had some strange expert
ences. AS we were leading up the
caissOns and were about ready to
go, two planes came sailing down
out of the sky. shooting at each
other with machine guns. Every
fifth bullet Is a tracer which leaves
trail of smoke by day and fire by
night. Down they came, right over
our heads, with one of them on the
tail of the other, showering bullets
into him. We all thought the upper
plane was an ally and set up a
great cheer, which came to an alb
Tupt close as he proved to be d
boche and decidedly unfriendly to
the audience. Our battery machine

The same night they certainly
shelled the roads. Each trip we had
the breaking near US. First whis-
tie, growing louder, Ike a train
passing, then a crash. l will never
forget the time l was down off my
horse getting some telephone wire
OFF the road SO my team could make

around. I had just finished the
JOB when bang went a big one
about IS yards from the road. Down

away We went. making the grade. A
hundred yards further another one
smashed in, even with US, but half
the distance to the road The Ger
mans were ranging for US. l tried
to urge the horses into a trot, but
no use, they were all in, and even
the shell fire could net hasten their
tired movements. The next one
was to be the finish. according to
the German mathematical problem.
The shell came and we are still
here, because il turned out to be a

BILLBOARD LAW
AGAIN DELAYED
Directors Disagree With Clauses OF
Ordinance-GiYen Chance TO
Plan Another.

The passage of an ordinance
which has been pending for some
time and which was again brought
up to the Moline city commission
yesterday afternoon, providing for
regulations in erecting billboards,
was again postponed.
Chief among the DIRECTORS who
attended yesterdays meeting were
Charles Kent, billboard man, Will
liam Carstens, secretary of the Mo-
line Business Mems association, and
Elmer Morgan, real estate man. All
protested vigorously when 1t came
to this feature of the proposed ordi-
nance: Consent of property Owr-
ers within the radius of 500 feet
must be obtained before new bill
board may be erected" Mr.. Kent's
view on this section of the ordi-
nance, was that it would prevent
the erection of any more billboards
in Moline. He suggested that the
city be divided into three classes, in
accordance with its residential dis
tricts. commissioners objected,
stating that it was up to the resi-
dents to decide whether their dis
trict is a first or third-class neigh
borhoOd
No definite action was decided on
and the DIRECTORS were given a
chance to plan another ordinance
which will agree with city officials.

COMPULSORY MARRIAGE FOR
GERMANY.

Swift has been the growth of Ger
man state powers since the Thirty
Years War reduced the population by
two-thirds The commission which has
been considering the recent decline of
the birthrate brings in more SEN
sational recommendation that mediae-
valism ever enceived-nothing less
than the compulsory marriage of ali
Germans before their twentieth year
is passed.
From 41,000,O0O in 1871, the Ger
man peoples grew to 66,OO0,O0O in
1914 But the birth-rate was already
fast declining. Army officers were
forbidden to marry without dowries.
Celibacy grew ii cities; and with it
came a high rate of illegitimate
births Hard living conditions led to
late marriage. Many causes combin-
ing. the death rate of babies was in
1913 49 per 1000 higher than in Eng
land and Wales, and IS per 1000 high
Err than in New York City in 1916.
War, which has killed or incapaci-
ated 100000 men, did not mend mat
ters. The commission finds that in
three war years the drop in birth
rate has meant the loss of 100000
infants Imperial is the remedy pro-
posed; children must marry before
they are twenty, and married child
Iessness is to be punished-how we
are not told.
The rulers greed for "cannon-
food" will have led Germany, if this
plan is adopted, far from the practice
of civilized nations. In France boys
are forbidden to marry under eighteen
girls under fifteen; and even if
neither parents nor grandparents are
living, no one can marry under TWEEN
ty-one without consent of a family
council. Here both law and custom
demand greater maturity as condi-
ton precedent to matrirnony, and too
early marriage is recognized as in
viting less healthy progeny. 1t re-
mains to be seen what German public
opinion will make of ''child marriage
for Kaiser and Fatherland.'
