URUGUAY REBELS TO
COME OUT OF HIDING

Montevideo, Uruguay.-(Corresp pond
ence of the Associated Press Thou
sands of revolutionists, members of
the Blance party who have been liv-
ing in exile in Brazil since their I'M
successful revolution of 1912 are ex-
pected to return from hiding as a re-
suit OF the approval of the new fed
eral constitution by referendum vote
OF the nation taken on Nov. %.
One Of their leaders recently stated
that there were $4,000 Uruguayan rev.
olutionists living along the Brazilian
side OF the frontier where they had
been ready to take up arms and in
wade Uruguay at short notice. Their
leaders say the exiled rebels probably
will return to their homes in the be-
lief that the secret ballot provided for
in the new constitution will give them
representation in the government
which they have coveted for many
years and to attain which they have
undertaken previous revolutions.
The caches in which they have bur-
led their arms stretch along the from.
tier from Uruguayana to Rio Grande
most instant service, but it is be-
lieved they will never be opened as
the revolutionary leaders assert that
the days of revolutions have passed
forever in Uruguay with the adoption
OF the constitution.
For half century the Blancos have
had NO part in the government of the
republic because of the strict control
which the Colorados have maintained
over the elections. The secret ballo.
provided for in the new constitution
is considered to be concession to the
Blancos whose leaders promised to
support the other provisions if the Sc
cret ballot was granted.
One important clause of the new
constitution provides for. the separa-
ton OF church and state. According
to some political leaders the winning
OF the secret ballot will bring about
the dissolution of the Blanco party.

kOHLER Is HOME,

Lieutenant A. E. Kohler, who is in
Moline on a five day furlough, has re-
ceived notification of his assignment

is in the evacuation hospitals that
wonderful feats of surgery are being
performed every day; it is where the
wounded soldiers are made over for
further service in the trenches. The
evacuation hospital in the British

soldiers are taken for final repairs be-
fore being sent to the convalescent
hospitals or sent back to the fighting
lines.

toned several months

the baby. Her husband told her to

BURGLAR IS HURT
ON BROKEN CLASS
Man Who Enters Link Market Gets
Nothing But Painful Injury
as REWARD.

Somewhere in this community to-
day there's a man with severe cuts on
his face, hands or arms, inflicted by
glass. East Moline police would like
very much to know this mans identity
and to interview him, for he is lie
man who last night broke into the
meat market of Thomas Link at Thir-
teenth avenue and Eighteenth street.
His wounds were incurred in the
course of his entrance into the market.
Evidently the mans wounds were OF a
severe nature, for he lost great
quantity of blood, and he left CORY
trail into themarket and from there to
the street car tracks, where he is pre-
sumed to have boarded street car.
So far as is known the burglar OBJ
tanned nothing but his injuries for his
trouble, as nothing has been missed
by the proprietor.
Entrance to the market was gained
by way of a window. The burglar
stood on pile of boards lying along
the side of the building, and broke the
fglass out. Jagged pieces Of glass were
| left in the frame. While standing on
the lumber the burglar slipped and
fell on the glass in such way as to
cut himself. There was blood all over
the window frame and sill, and blood
in the shop indicated that the burglar
was not deferred from entering by the
mishap.
His wounds were evidently of such
serious nature, however, that once
inside he decided not to lose time in
obtaining aid for he took nothing and
departed in such haste that he left his
cap behind. From hairs in the cap the
police conclude that the man has
medium dark hair, and that he is not
a negro.
High School Closed.
East Moline township high school
| closed last week because of the fuel
shortage, will not be reopened next
week. Announcement was made to-
day that the school will remain closed
till the week of Jan. % at least.

! Whether it is in accord with the let
ter. of the fuel order or not, East
Moline saloons will not be opened next
Monday. In order that there may be
no misunderstanding about the matter

action. He has issued orders through
! the police department that the saloons
in East Moline on Monday shall be
closed just the same as on Sunday
Police will enforce the order, and the
penalty for violation will be revoca-
3, ton of licenses.
Repair Shop Open.
The only violation of the fuel order
reported in East Moline was by shoe
repair shop. Report came to the DO.
lice today that this shop Operated
electric power machinery yesterday
and as late as 9 last evening. The
case is being investigated Inquiry is
also being made to determine whether
electric power has been used for the
manufacture of candy in a local con.
fectionery.
DR.. Johnson has ruled that the 6:3(
closing order applies to all business
houses not otherwise specified, ant
/ he has directed that all unnecessary
lights be cut off after that hour.
