Leo Thielemann, aged 16, son

river last evening.
He sank beneath the surface of

of Davenport near Riverview park.
He is thought to have been strick-
en- with cramps. Several expert
swimmers were nearby when the
lad sank beneath the surface but
were unable to locate the body,
which is still uncovered. 1t is
the general belief of the authori-
ties that the body will not be re-
covered in this vicinity owing to
the swift current which is expect
ed to carry the remains to the lower
part of the river.
However, draggers are working
untfringly attempting to recover
the body. The parents are frantic
over the loss of their son.

FIVE MILLION TT. S.
MEN TO BACK FOCH
DRIVE TO END WAR

Washington, Aug. Sacked by
a reserve of 100000 American
troops, Field Marshal Foch, su-
preme commander Of the American
and allied armies, is preparing to
hurl the entire united military
strength of France, Great Britain
and the United States against the
Germans on the western front in
order to bring the war to victor
ious conclusion in the shortest pos
sible time.
Next spring will see the terrific
conflict, already in progress on the
Aisne-Vesle line, in full swing with
Foch's armies striking with ali
their power.
This was the impression gained
by members of the senate military
affairs committee who heard Gen.
March, chief of staff, explain in
executive session the war depart
ment's reasons for asking extern
sion of draft age limits to include
all men between is and As years
Of age.
They learned also that the def
mite decision to enlarge the Amer
lean military program to an army
Of 100000 men was reached about
July 80, and was in accordance
with an agreement reached in Paris
shortly before that time.
The date when the United States
decided to more than double the
great effort it already was making
and to bring its whole man-power
to bear Immediately, may be sig
nificant.
Gen. Foch's smashing blow which
has fiattened out the Aisne-Marne
salient and has thrown the whole
German front from Rheims to the
sea into jeopardy, was struck July
"A, with American troops bearing
their full share.
1t appeared possible that the
success Of that blow had influ-
enced American officials, who con-
tinuously had pressed for a vigor-
Gus aggressive campaign at the
earliest possible moment and with
attention concentrated on the west
ern front, to believe that enough
| could be done this year to prepare
one way for a smashing military
| triumph next year, when the full
| American army becomes available,
The period of time covered by
! estimates for equipment and trans
portation of troops under the en-
larged army plan is understood TO
carry it up to next spring.
/ As the project is understood, al
| though no details were obtainable,
| it is contemplated to place an army
l Of substantially 100000 Ameri-
I can troops in France before the
spring campaign opens, backed by
| 100000 more at home, moving
| forward as needed.
In this connection, limitations
! that the British have made extra
ordinary efforts to concentrate
| troops on the western front in the
| last few months become increas-
ingly significant.

a famine OF fresh fruits and veg
otables faces the markets, if the
excessive heat which Rock Island
has been experiencing for the last
week, continues.
Gardeners in this section of the
country come to the markets with
trucks half full Of produce. They
say that the heat is burning the
vegetables before they are ready
tc be marketed. One of the truck
men from South Rock Island came
to town q week ago with a load OF
the best tomatoes produced this
year. This morning he brought to
town three bueshels OF soft, unde-
sirable ones, the best he had. The
burning rays of the sun have prac-
ticaly boiled them on the stalks.
Outward appearances indicate that
they are sound, but upon closer eX-
animation it is found that the to-
matO under the skin is soft. These
tomatoes can be used in one way,
and that is for cooking purposes
only. Sweet corn which should be
coming in now in quantities, has
also been injured. 1t is as tough
as field corn at the season when it
should be at its best. One farmer
on Big Island says that his corn
has not been spoiled and that he
Will have plenty of excellent golden
/ bantam from now on. This mans
good fortune probably lies in the
/ fact that the island itself is damp
1 and well irrigated.
Cabbages have not been harmed.

Behind British Lines in France.
-(Correspondence of The Associ-

sniping has been reduced to a fine
art in modern warfare. and the
sharpshooter uses many other
branches of the service to assist
him. An incident which occurred
a few days ago in the British lines
in Flanders shows how a little
artillery work is sometimes nee
essary in bringing about the I'M
doing of the German snipers.
Lieutenant Jackson, battalion
shipping officer, was walking down
the trench when he heard a sud
den rattle of neutrality-suspicious.
bullets striking one of the British
sniping plates. One of his sniping
posts was being battered by. Ger
man armor-piercing bullets.
The officer hurried to the scene
ard with his periscope located the
spot where the Germans were fir
ing. 1t was a big post on some
ground behind the enemy firing
line, hidden with earth and looking
exactly like any one of the other
tangled hammocks with which
shells and mines had strewn the
vicinity. But his trained eye quick
" marked out four small apertures
which he knew TO be loopholes.
The excellence of his periscope ev-
en- enabled him to see the puffs OF
unburned powder which came from
the four hostile rifles at every shot.
They are behind concrete and
steel, under that surface mud, sir"
said the sergeant. ut won't be
easy dealing with them"
Its a case for the heavy artil-
| lery, I'm afraid" murmured Lieu
tenant jackson regretfully, - he
dislikeG calling in any outside as
sistance for his snipers.
Il saw the major of that heavy
battery which covers US, going b.
a moment ago." suggested the ser
geant.
Lieutenant Jackson hurried off
down the trench and found the
major, who was up on survey OF
| the enemy line for special targets.
A hint of what had developed
brought the major back, and min
ute later he was in the nearest
signal dugout, telephoning instruc-
| lions to his battery.
| Meanwhile Lieutenant Jackson
| beckoned the sergeant away out OF
! the majors hearing. Put Haggar-
ty and Brown into Post 8, Ser
geant," he ordered. Il don't think

Presently the first heavy projec-
tile came rumbling up from the
rear. 1t burst fifty yards wide in
