teal that the time has come when
mus; break silence. 1t is time for
Us all to wake up and fight for de-
mocracy, il We are not to see our
country go the way that Germany
went. There is very real danger
ahead.
Let me call your attention to one
of the reasons why Germany entered
the war. Il was, of course, partly be-
cause the Hohenzollern wanted to
rule the world, partly because of the
dominance of the junker class in Ger
man politics, and partly because the
German people had been systematic
ally taught thru their schools and
their press that they were from
a cultural standpoint the most super
ior people in the world and thus had
the duty of carrying their culture to
the rest of the world, but more i'm
porant than any of these was the de-
sire of the Germans to dominate the
world in an economic way. Thus they
wanted to go into Russia because of
the great opportunities for profitable
investment and trade there. They
wanted to possess the port Of Bel
GUM and the northern part of France
because it would give them greater
access to the sea and because in this
region of France were important coal
and iron mines which Germany need
ed in order to become the greatest
ruler in the trade and industry of the
world. They wanted to build up Cen.
tral-Europa and have the Berlin-Bag-
dad railway because it opened up tc
them without interference from Eng.
land the wealth Of India and the East
They wanted to overthrow the navy
of England and the military power Of
France and Russia because these
stood in their way toward world dom.

DOUBLE NUMBER
GIRL employees
Rock Island Banks Hire Fem3 e
Workers to Fill Vacancies
Left by Men in Service.

Rock Island bankers are rapidly
realizing the necessity of employ
ing female help.
Men, who at one time held re-
sponsible positions in the institu-
tons, have been drafted into the
army or have enlisted. These va
cancies in most cases have been
filled by women The number OF
women workers in the banks has
been practically doubled over the
number of year ago.
A year ago the Central Trust
and Savings bank of Rock Island
employed three girls. A. present
10 are employed Most of these
have taken the places of men VINO
/ were called TO enter the war.
The Rock Island Savings bank
employed two girls about one year
ago previous to the establishing OF
the draft laws Now seven girl
are employed there.
Five girls are working for the
American Trust and Savings bank,
where one year ago the institution
employed but three women.
The State bank has, as members
OF its force, two girl clerks, where
as last year but one was employed.
Not only in the banks are the
women supplanting the men but in
practically every business house in
the city. Employers have expe-
rienced a shortage in clerical work
ers which has made it necessary for
them to employ female help.
