Assistant United States Attorney
John f Dougherty and Deputy
United States Marshal williams, OF
Rock Island. H., have been suspend
ed for thirty days. according to an
announcement ny the attorney gen
eral on March :. because OF lack Of
sym pathy with the policy Of the de-
partment OF Justice regarding the sale
of liquor and the enforcement of the
law In vice zones adjacent To army
camps they will be given q hearing
pending consideration OF their re-
moval Their suspension is the re-
suit OF a personal Investigation under
the direction OF the attorney general,
regarding conditions at Rock Island,
III. which aftoins an ordnance
training camp.
The attorney general says that the
deplorable conditions found TO exist
in Rock Island have been caused
largely by the neglect OF municipal
authorities 10 preserve order and de
cenCy and this has imposed added re-
sponTibility upon federal officials in
that Jurisdiction
The announcement said that for an
Indefinite period in the future special
officers Of the department viii keep a
strong watch over the cities adjacent
70 the Rock Island camp.
The suspension Of these TWO fed
eral district officials was considered
officially an indication Of the determi-
nation OF the department of justice to
strongly enforce anti-liquor and vice
regulations about army and navy
camps II was explained that field
officers or the department will be ex-
pected 10 take action on their own
initiative to remedy improper c0ndi-
tions

Two obstacles were left for the

Over that problem, during the long

Then, because she dared not give
him time to think. she made her plea
rapid, girlish. rather %incoherent, but
understandable enough. They would 20

He put her away from him at last,
after he had kissed her eyellds and
her forehead, which was by way Of
renunclation. And then he folded his
arms, which were treacherou1 and
might betray him. After that, not dar-
Ing to look at her. but with his eyes
hxed on the irregular skyline Of the
city roofs, he told her many things,
Of his promise to the king. Of the dan.

his word Of honor not to make love
to her, which he had broken.
Hedwlg listened, growing cold and
still, and drawing away Z little. She
listened, even assented. 40 he pleaded
against his own heart, treacherous
arms still folded. And II she saw his
arms and not his yea, Il was because
she did not look up.
