AMERICAN BLOOD
VETS TRENCHES
Have YOU Proved Loyalty
BY Buying Liberty Bonds
BY JOHN LEIsH TAFT

There are some tremendous lessons
to be learned from the present status
of the world strife.
One of the most momentous of them
all is lesson to America and Amer
icans-a lesson to you and me-a
personal lesson which we shall do
well to accept in it's fullest, personal
application. 1t is the lesson of IN
DIVIDUAL INTEREST in this war
The blood of American soldiers is
wet upon the trenches, and the base
hospitals are ministering to Ameri-
can wounded. The shadow of the
Death Angel, made in Germany" ;"
has fallen across your threshold and
mine. 1t is no longer a thing de-
tached and apart from u.s. We are
in it. The blood of our sacrifice
reeks upon the altar 1t is now a per-
sonal affair.
We-you and must back our boys
in the trenches, or forever cease to
claim rank and title as Americans.
The time has come when there are
but two classes in this country
EAAACA ACoh0S uO TIC 1OI Iu0 wal III
which our boys are pouring out their
blood, and traitors, who are either
against the war or Indifferent toward
it. And Indifference is now, if any,
thing, more despicable than antago-
nism.
There is one thing, at least, that
most of us can do to prove our aware
ness of the situation and our loyalty
to those who are fighting OUR battles
over there; most of us can subscribe,
in some degree, to the Third Liberty
Loan.
1t is totally beside the issue to
point out that these bonds are a good
investment. The investment feature
is not the thing in question. 1t may
require some sacrifice to convert pres
ent holdings into holding of Liberty
Loan Bonds. But as far as we can
manage it, you and l, if we accept the
great lesson of the hour and take our
part in the baptism of American blood
which is for the cleansing of the ma
tions and the rehabilitation of the
world, we must come across"-and
come quickly and with thankfulness
that it is given to us to do even so
little.

Sen. Chamberlain headed the
investigation of the War Depart
ment and his New York speech
anent Baker brot from the Pres
ident a severe rebuke. Then
Chamberlain introduced a bill to
create a supreme head for the
War Department and this bill
was promptly smothered by the
Administration influence. Now,
Sen. Overman, a supporter of
the Administration, introduces a
bill which is so near like the one
prepared by Chamberlain that
Chamberlain is supporting it,
and the Overman bill has receiv-
ed the approval of the President
and will become law. 1t mat

G. w. P. Hunt promised DR..
Blome a hearing at Flagstaff,
but now has decided that it would
not be safe thing to do, so he
has changed the program so that
the hearing can be pulled off in
Phoenix. If Flagstaff is in real
ity so bad that a school board
hearing can't be conducted with
out melting mob violence we
recommend that the War Depart
ment put the town under martial
law until Hunt has fulfilled his
promise to DR.. Blome. Hunt
might deputize a bunch Of l. w.
WIS. to leach him as a body-guard
and proceed.

Associated Press Dispatch from Des
Moines Indicates Illinois Men
Not Going to Dodge.
no OFFICIAL ORDERS ARRIVE
Local Exemption Has Not Received
Instructions as to Where 70
Send New Soldiers.

The next contingent Of selective
army men from Rock-4sland ana the
southern half of the county may not
be sent to Camp Dodge.
When the 1870 selectives leave on
Feb. %, the date set by the war de-
partment for the induction of the re-
mainder of the quota of each district,
the local men may go either to Camp
Grant, near Rockford, or to Camp
Zachary Taylor, near louisville, NY.
This is according to an Associated
Press dispatch from Des Moines to-
day. 1t appears from the dispatch
that only Iowa, Minnesota and Da-
kota men are to go to Camp Dodge.
Heretofore men from the northern
and eastern part of Illinois have gone
to Camp Grant. Men from the cen
trail western part of the state have
gone to Camp Dodge. Men from the
southern and eastern part of the state
have gone to Camp Taylor.
Likely to Grant
1t was thought here that If the re-
mainder of the selectives are not te
go to Camp Dodge, they probably viii
be sent to Camp Grant rather thar
Camp Taylor.
The local exemption board had n
official word today of any change II
sending the men, yet it is understood
Camp Dodge is not preparing to re
ceive any more Illinois selectives.

Despite Claim That Cold Increases
Crime, Chicago Boasts Of sLittle
Doing in That Line"

Chicago, Feb. 5--Only five hold ups
took place during last night, according
to police announcement today, despite
the fact that cold weather is held by
them to be an incentive to crime. The
most serious of the five holdups was
the shooting of drug clerk who was
seriously wounded, when, through de-
fective hearing, he failed to under
stand the command of the robber.
Stirred to action by record number
of crimes during the last few weeks
the city council yesterday for the first
time passed an order for the recova-
ton of the license of a saloon classed
as thieves resort; passed an ordi-
nance making the minimum penalty
for carrying a concealed weapon 5000,
demanded information from probation
officers, city prosecutors and police ex-
PLANTATION of lack of prosecution of
gunner: ordered pool room and sa-
loon keepers to keep from harboring
criminals under penalty of loss Of
license; ordered pawn brokers to re-
port thieves offering stolen property
under penalty of loss of license and
prohibited owners of stolen property
from paying pawn brokers for its re-
turn.
The police kept up their activity in
rounding up criminals. Parole and
correction officers, prosecutors and
judges also have taken up the prob
lem of Kidding the city of criminals.

Save it.
Don't kill 1t.
Yesterday the Rock Island county
food Interpretation board authorized
the advance in price of eggs SO that
they now sell at from IS to 60 cents
dozen. whereas before they sold from
50 to 81 cents. Dealers are compelled
to pay Sc cents dozen for them now,
whereas before they purchased them
for from SO to So cents dozen.
The United States department OF ag-
riculture has issued plea to save
the hens" 1t follows:
Every laying hen sold from the
farms before the first Of May means a
loss of about thirty eggs to the food
supply of the nation. These eggs are
valuable food, Manufactured largely
from insects. weeds and grass. gar
bage and waste. The eggs. therefore
are almost wholly net gain in hui
man food. Moreover. the hen is just
as good meat after she has laid these
eggs as before.
"Save the hens, is the message tina:

culture is sending broadcast through
press notices and posters, and through
it's county agents, especially in the

.EX-CzAR SC0RNED
BY SIBERIA FOLK
Former Head of All Russfas Regarded
as Bashful and Treated as Com
monplace by People.

Petrograd, Feb. 5.-The first init
mate statement about former Car
Nicholas secluded life of exile at To-
bolsk came out of Siberia today.
A. l.. Suchanoff, constituent assem-
bly, member from TobOlsk, described
Nicholas Romanoff's intimate doings,
his trials, sorrows and heartburnings.
Suchanoff declared that:
Nicholas is bashful and difRdent.
He is scorned by many Of his fel-
low townsmen.
Stripped of his glory as car Of all
the Russias, he is regarded by the ST.
berian peasants as commonplace per-
son-too dull to be of any>interest.
The people who formerly trembled
at the emperor's ukase now turn their
heads away when he takes off his hat
to them.
The family of Rasputin, the black
monk, lives near by, but treats Mich
olas coldly.
The former cars favorite reading
is the exposure of his own private
life at court, which is being printed
in several European newspapers.
"At first" said Suchanoff, "the pop
ulation was very much interested in
Nicholas. But the people soon &C.
cepted him as q commonplace.
"0n his first public appearance he
went out to attend morning mass at
a nearby church. He quailed at the
prospect of walking through the
streets, and chose a secluded road
where he could be hidden from sight.
But the people discovered him
there and he was followed by a crowd
of the curious. d.
For the first time in his life Mich
olas was OF the people, walking with
them. He respectfully took off his
hat. The people scorned him. They
made no reply to salutes.
THE Romanoff family is receiving
French and Russian literature and
also the newspapers which are print
ing the exposures Of Nicholas private
life at court. The former car and
his relatives are especially interested
in the Rasputin episodes. The fam
lily OF the black monk lives near To-
bolsk, but they never visit Nicholas.
Saving wood in the mornings has
greatly improved Romanoff physically.
His wife prays frequently, and she is
also very adept at cards and plays in
the evenings.
Nicholas is busy in his spare time
teaching his little son history.
Under his fathers instruction, the
ex-tsarevitch has become very famil-
lar with all the big international cpl
sodes OF history, all, of course, from
the ROmanoff viewpoint"
