LowDzN URGES THREE MAIN
ISSUES WIN AT POLLS
Nsv oonstisutaon. Good Roads Bonds
and Private Bank Act An Close
10 Peoples wsifars.

Springfield, m.-Governor Lowden
has issued the following statement to
the voters Of Illinois upon three great
subjects which win be submitted to them
for approval Tuesday, Nov. s.
The people Of the state generally,
two years ago, approved and spplauded
the work Of the general assembly. Much
Of the most important Of that work win
be lost unless the people at the polls
next Tuesday shall vote the ''little bal
lot" That ballot Is "httle" only in
size and name; 1t is great in Importance,
and relates itself closely to the future
progress and development Of Illinois. II
contains three propositions, each Of
which, If ratified, means long step for
ward.
It means Q new constitution by which
the burdens Of taxation can be more
equally distributed. 1t means Q simple
and more efficient and more economical
government Of the state, county and
municipality. It means writing the
progress which Illinois has made in
every other line during half century
into the fundamental law Of the state.
This is the first time in the life Of the
present generation that the people have
had q right to vote for q constitutional
convention. Under our present eonsti-
tuition, it is 30 diffcult as to be almost
impossible to secure the necessary two
thirds vote in each House Of the gen
eral assembly submitting this question
to the people. After years of effort the
last general assembly acted favOrably.
The bond issue for good roads, If ap-
proved by the people, means q eompre-
hensive system Of hard roads, reach
ing every county in the state. It means
that the principal and interest Of the
bonds voted viii be paid out Of the re-
eeipts Of automobile licenses, but that
neither win the bonds be issued nor the
work commenced until after the close
of the war. The bin for this bond issue
has received admiration and common
dalton everywhere. But this law win be
lost to Illinois, likely for Q generation,
If it Is not approved at the polls next
Tuesday.
The existence Of irresponsible and un-
private banks in Illinois for
years has been a reproaeh. Thousands
have lost the savings Of q lifetime
through the failure Of these banks. Two
years ago we enacted law to remove
this reproach. But that law win be lost
unless the people vote for It NEXT Tues
day.
The "httle ballot" this year becomes
= great ballot. It contains but three
squares to mark. But IL the voters mark
Zach of these three squares YES, they
win have done the best work, in my
opinion, they have done on one day at
the polls In many years.

New York Police
To Have Air Squad

One hundred aviators, members of
the Police Reserves, soon will be add
ed to the New York police force, ac-
cording to a plan of Rodman Wana-
maker, Deputy Police Commissioner,
made public yesterday by Commission
CT Enright.
Mr.. Wanamaker, since his appoint
men as special Deputy Commissioner
in charge of Police Reserves, has been
working on the reorganization of the
civilian body which is counted on to
replace the regular police in an emcr-
gcncy.
He is an ardent advocate of aviation,
and will, according to report, finance
the cquipping and training of the new
force of policemen. instruction
probably will be given either at one of
the government fields or in a specially
constructed field within the city limits.
Another feature of Mr. Wanamak-
cr's reorganization scheme is that
hereafter policemen will be drawn from,
the ranks of the police reserves. These
men, whose ages range from eighteen
to twenty-eight, will make up Class /
of the reserves. to be known as the
civil reserve. Class will be called
the neighborhood and business unit,
and Class 3, patrol, mounted, harbor
and air.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-Medical
officers of the army are prevented from
properly safeguarding the health Of
American soldiers because of their in
ferior rank to line officers, Surgeon
General Gorgas told the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee to-day in urg-
ing passage OF the Owen bill, creating
high ranks for army surgeons.
The appearance Of Gorgas before the
Senate committee brought to light fric-
tion between the medical corps ana
officers of the line, which, the surgeon
general said, had many times seriously
impcded hospital construction and in
other ways interfered with the medi-
cal corps efforts to keep down the
army death rate.

Staff and the War College have op-
posed Senator Owens's bill creating in

day. letter was received by Acting
Chairman Hitchcock from Acting Sec

the split in the War Department over

created, so confused the committee

without further serious consideration
of the entire matter. The bill was taken

AMSTERDAM, March 15.-Germany

he we're not inclined to make peace he
would have to fight.
"Our front in the West is now much
more favorable for us than it was last
year." General Won Ludendorf told the
interviewer. "How difficult the stua-
ton was must be gauged from the fact
that we had to restore calm in the
East and defeat Italy in the South.
But now we are stronger than the
enemy, both as regards men, material,
aerial forces, tanks. Everything, in
fact, of which he boasted is standing
in readiness on our side in the greatest
abundance.
"H the enemy wishes to attack now
let him do so. He will find US ready.

course, be the most tremendous of the

According to news received here Field

stated in an interview in Berlin that
the Entente had shown an unresponsive
attitude toward Germany's peace in

offensive therefore must go on.
