MAKING EFFORTS
TO GET SPECIAL

If the efforts of Mayor Carlson
or Moline are successful, special
weekend trains will run from
Camp Grant to Moline and Rock
Island. More than TOO twtn-city
men would thereby be enabled to
conveniently spend the weekend
with relatives here.
The mayor is negotiating with Of

Ire said this morning that he also
had high hopes that the Milwaukee

An effort is also being made to
obtain the cent a mile rate for the
weekend trips to and from the
camp. Ordinarily the men are not
given a special rate on the week
end trip. If the trains are estab-
l1shed they will leave Camp Grant
shortly after noon on each Saturday
and will return there Sunday even
ing. 1t is understood that such
trains run to Chicago and are great

income from this crop Greece

When a few weeks since, the

The two divisions which struck
on May 81, carrying a mountain

most it's entire garrison, were from
Crete and other parts of Greece
where few currants grow. How
many other divisions are already

there. What kind of account should

is still red the walls have been so
refreshened that one scarcely rec

No paper will be used anywhere
in the building, it is stated as all
rooms are to be painted and enam-

arranged for lodging purposes and
club and billiard rooms will also be
installed. The public will have the
privileges of the building but it is

YANKEES CAN NOT
BEAR TO RETREAT
so THEY COUNTER

Paris, July 1--we regret being
unable on this occasion to follow
the counsels of our masters, the
French. but the American flag has
been forced to retire This is un-
endurable and none Of our soldiers
would understand their not being
asked to do whatever is necessary
to reestablish a situation which is
humiliating to us. We are going
to counter attack"
This was a message sent by an
American general in command of
American forces south of the
Marine on Monday afternoon after
the Germans had succeeded in
forcing the Americans back to-
wards Conde-E n-Brei. The French
commander informed the American
general that the early German
success could not have any great
effect on the fate of battle; that it
was understood perfectly that aft
er hard fighting the Americans had
slowly retired and that it was not
expected that they Immediately
launch a counter attack. He added
that a counter-attack could be
postponed without risk and it
might be better TO give the Ameri-
can troops an hours rest
Immediately after the American
general sent the above message,
which is quoted by the correspond
ent of the Matin, the Americans
launched their couter-attack and
the lost ground was soon recover
ed, with an additional half mile
taken from the Germans for good
measure.

Nelson enlisted in the marine

he was transferred to Quantico,

Moline Typhoid Epidemic.

Fifteen cases of typhoid have

cases at the present time. Be-
cause of the small number report
ed this morning. however. II Is be-
lieved that the epidemic is abating
slightly.
Milk, ice. well water. food and
vacations are some Of the posi-
BILE sources of the disease, II is
believed by city officials. Tests
of the city water made this morn
ing continue TO show that IL is not

City water is safe for drinking
purposes. Tests indicate that the
water is pure. do not know the
cause Of the typhoid" states A
F. Mellen, city chemist. in regard
to the typhoid scare that has once
more gripped the city.
Commissioner Stouffer declares
that he has no idea what the
cause IS and states that there are
many possible sources Of the dis

es.
Health Inspector Lindblad de-
clares that three Of the persons az
flicted with typhoid are employed
at the arsenal and he states that
there is a possibility of some of the
disease having been brought from
other cities.
Because of the seriousness Of the
situation, DR. w. T. Human, who
is acting as city physician during
the absence of DR.. H. S. Bennett,
now a lieutenant in the service. ad-
vises people to refrain from put
ting ice in drinking water or 9TH

measures suggested are: Boil all
water from city pipes or private
wells. Use care in handling food.
1t is said that typhoid is general
throughout the city and is not con-
fined TO any one part of the city.

on the German roads. And nation
al pride will have its answer for
that. AS for Bulgaria, she is now
even more the national en-
envy of Greece than she was FIVE
years ago; since then she has
seized Greek territory. And it is a
good time for US to remember what
happened then. In a few summer
weeks of 1913 and in battle after
battle the Greeks simply over
whelmed the Bulgarians. Then, too.
the latter didn't doubt their own
superiority. In fact, it was one of
the cleanest, briefest and most de-
clsIve campaigns on record. Greece
can now put nearly 100000 men in
line. We can rest assured that
while the French and English are
doing their part in Macedonia, the
Greeks will be doing theirs.
We should also hear OF them on
the sea. Their large ships, like
those of their allies. have had little
opportunity to show their caliber.
But in the tncessant submarine
warfare IN the eastern Mediterran-
can Greek destroyers have been in
action again and again. A few
weeks ago one of them sank a sub
marine by gunfire. When Turkish
cruisers emerged from the Oar
