a forgery in Vienna, the foreign office
claiming it had been written by a French
ecclesiastic who had been acting as con-

Thereafter Charles lot was far from
being happy one. He was reported to

Monday morning 1t is expected
that the perhaps final argument be-
fore entering of the order of in

p. Fl. LoTenz, or the jail litigation
will take place in the circuit court

Motion by attorneys for the COM

yesterday.
The supreme court reversed the
findings of the master in chancery
and the circuit court, ordered the
case remanded with instructions TO
the circuit court to grant the relief

Since that decision was rendered.,
an effort was made to take the mat

ASK PERMANENT
ORDNANCE WORK
Rock Island Arsenal COmmandant
Makes Recommendation in
Washington Yesterday.

Recommendations that Rock Is
land arsenal be maintained as the
governments principal permanent
ordnance base were made to the
board on permanent facilities for
the manufacture and repair OF ord
nance material by Colonel Leroy
Hillman, commandant of the ar
senaI, who met with the board
which closed its sessions in Wash
ington yesterday.
THE future of Rock Island ar
senal lies entirely with congress. y
Colonel Hillman said.
Il have laid before the war de-
partment board on arsenals very
definite reports of the necessity for
maintaining a large force of work
men at Rock Island, but of course
nothing can be done unless there
is a disposition in congress TO ap-
propriate sufficient money to carry
out the program"
Colonel Hillman said that the
labor situation at the arsenal was
rapidly being adjusted. He said
most of the separations were vol
untary and that efforts were being
made to place all who leave the
government service in good posi-
tons with private plants. He init
mated that only about One-third of
the full war time force of the ar
senal had left and that more sepa-
rations would be necessary. He ex-
pressed the hope that until next
spring. at least, a large part of the
war time force would be retained.

In the case of the window cards and pledge cards an unsuccessful attempt was made to secure payment of these from the county, since it has been ruled that county funds may be used to pay the expenses of the county council of defense. Just as we were about to enter these upon the free list, MT. Ed. Hamilton stepped in and paid for the pledge cards out of his own pocket.
