LORRAINE, Sunday. Nov. II (Asso-

their first entry into recovered Lor-

the population that gathered in the
towns and villages to meet them.
The honor OF leading the advance
across the recently abolished frontier
fell to the famous Moroccan Division,
including the famous Foreign Legion.
The soldiers OF the Legion wore their
decorations, the highest accorded to
any unit in the French Army during
the war.
Soon after dawn tho bo-s OF Lor-

that had remained hidden from the
Germans during many long months,

Mondays meeting of the city com

the city OF Rock Island will con-

The firemen have asked that
satisfactory raise in wages be
granted or they will resign. The
city commission will not commit
itself on the subject However, the
Rock Island council met with the
Moline council in the latter's city
yesterday and limited that the local
firemen would be granted an in

mite figure. 1t is the desire of both
cities to pay all employees of the
city equal wages. The firemen in
each city therefore would receive
the same wages, the police the same
and all others the same.
Du'i ing the last week the city
commission no doubt has decided
TO allow an increase. AT the last

WHOLESOME RESPECT FOR YANKEES
AS FIGHTERS is DEVELOPED BY THE
MILITARY MACHINE OF THE GERMANS

The German military machine
has developed a wholesome respect
Tor Americans as fighters, accord
ing to Raymand Starbard, an ad-
1utant in the war work forces OF
the salvation army, who has arrived
at an Atlantic port" after seven
months strenuous work within
range OF German guns. Adjutant
Starbard has returned to recruit
zoo new workers to augment the
forces of trained and uniformed
men and women now serving the
troops behind the western front fir
ing line
Adtutant Starbard tells of a
battle fought on March in this
fashion:
"A certain section of the line was
subjected to unusual pressure from
the German forces, and in the heat
of it all, one German. evidently
more excited than his fellows,
leaped TO an exposed position and
in very excellent English shouted,
Come on out, you American dogs
and fight" Before he could leap
back to safety. one of our boys had
thrown hand grenade which took
eff both his legs.
Then ensued a fierce encounter
in which the Americans accounted
for $50 out of an original 200 of
the raiding group. Our men later
discovered that the German who
leaped out TO challenge Americans
and lost his life was a former New
York City merchant The officer
carried q rifle hinh
by our men and l have brought it
back TO America with me-
German prisoners taken said
they have all along planned TO ter
rify the Americans, believing that
they are not real soldiers and have
no disposition to fight. but they now
, are stunned by the experience they
have bought dearly.

SOME MAY TRY
TO CARRY JAIL
SUIT UP AGAIN
Information Leaks Out Several
Supervisors Desire Federal
Court Hearing.
DOUBT APPEAL is POSSIBLE
Local Attorneys Believe There Is
No Ground to Take Case Be-
fore L. =. Tribunal.

An endeavor to appeal the county
Jail injunction suit to the supreme
court of the United States may be
made by some of the members OF
the board OF supervisors at the
meeting next week.
Information has come out that
some members wish to order the
special counsel for the board to
appeal the case, if there is any
possible ground upon which the
United States court may consider
it. However. other local attorneys,
asked for an opinion. today said
that the case is not one that can
not be appealed to the federal body
because no constitutional question
is involved, nor does the Jail in
junction suit come under the head
ing of cases of other character in
which appeals from the state sa-
preme court may be taken.
To involve the matter in further
litigation will have the effect of
ADDING thousands of dollars more
to the expenses already incurred
and will mean a further delay il
the erection of the new building.
be required to get a decision from
the United States supreme court.
Just how many of the. super
visors are in favor of endeavoring
to go on with the case, is MOI
known. 1t is understood. however.
that those who aligned themselves
with the Jail committee in its de-
termination to proceed with the
erection OF the Jail in face of the
passing OF the Igoe bill three years
ago, and who are still members OF
the board, favor going ahead and
lighting the injunction higher, If 1t
Is found possible to do so
10 Debate Step.
Thus l. is expected that when the
board of supervisors meets next
week unless it is advised in the
meantime that 1t cannot proceed
further in the fight. part of its SEES
sions will be devoted to debate OIL
carrying the case 20 the federal ST.
/ pTeme court.
