Few Cases Today.

Today was almost "bootleggerleSs'
day in Police Court Up to noon only
one case of illegally selling liquor had
been called in both branches of the
court, although another is scheduled
to be called in Judge Hardison's court
this afternoon. Another change was
noted this morning. when only four
men were brought into court for being
intoxicated. against daily average
of fifteen.
Hillery Brown, colored, 603 Free
mans alley, was given a sentence of
three months Imprisonment and fined
$500, with an additional onemonth
confinement in default of payment of
the fine, by Judge Hardison this
morning when convicted of illegally
selling liquor. Brown was arrested
at his home last night by Lieut..
Bremerman and Sergt. Sheetz of the
second precinct and accused of SELL
ing half a pint Of liquor to a COL
not guilty in court. but Judge Hardi-
son was convinced that the man had
some connection with the sale of the
liquor, although he stated that he be-
that reason gave him a light penalty.
Five quarts of whisky which were
taken from Browns home were
brought into court for evidence and
the colored man claimed that he
brought the liquor here from Balti
more TOT tue sole purpose OF noldlHS
an Independence day celebration.
Judge Hardison stated that he
could not conceive why man would
go to Baltimore for that much liquor
for his personal consumption when
two or three quarts would answer the
purpose. The Judge then remarked
that whisky is the most precious
commodity around here these days"

Washington, D. C.-With the. subsid-
ence of the epidemic Of influenza the
attention of health officers is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory system
which regularly cause large number
of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
ter unless tire people are particularly
careful to obey health Instructions.
'",The present epidemic,' said Sur
geon General Blue, has taught by bit
ter experience how readily condition
beginning apparently as a slight cold
may go on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst Of the epidemic is
over, there will continue to be a large
number of scattered cases, many OF
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after a
great fire, saying. ''No fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con-
tinues the water for hours and even
days, for he knows that there is dan
ger OF the fire reminding from smol-
dering embers.''
"Then you fear another outbreak Of
Influenza? % he was asked. mot neces-
sarily another large epidemic" said
the Surgeon General, "but unless the
people learn to realize the seriousness
of the danger they will be compelled to
pay q heavy death toll from pneumO-
MIA and other respiratory diseases.

Common Colds Highly Catching.

sit is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that Or
binary coughs and colds are highly
catching and are spread from person
to person by means of droplets of
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed into the air when careless or
ignorant people cough or sneeze with
out covering their mouth and nose. It
is also good TO know that people have
learned something about the value of
fresh air. In summer, when people
are largely out Of doors, the respira-
tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumO-
MIA, etc.) are infreQuent; in the fall,
as people begin to remain indoors, the
respira tory diseases increase; in the
winter. when people are prone to stay
in badly ventilated, overheated rooms,
the respiratory diseases become very
prevalent.

BELGIUM KING
PRAISES WORK
East Moline Organization Receives
Message of CongratulatiOn
For Local Efforts.

Several weeks ago Rene Van
Speybroeck of East Moline, head Of
the Belgian relief organization of
that city, sent d clipping OF The
Argus 10 the king OIL Belgium. IN
which was described celebration
which took place on the Thirteenth
street hill OF East Moline and pro-
Ceeds from which were turned over
the the Belgian organization for the
benent OF disabled soldiers OF their
country. 1t will be remembered
that al an entertainment on July
Is, S1,314.l9 was cleared and turn
ed over to the stricken country.
Yesterday Mr. Van Speybroeck
received a communication from the
king Of Belgium, through the chief
of his cabinet, r. de Jehan, cOmplI-
menting and prais.ng the work OF
line Belg:anS in their effort to help
the small organization Of East Mo-
destitute and stricken fellow cOun-
trymeR. The message sent from
the general headquarters Of the
Belgian army and dated Sept. %,
this year, follows:
Il am commanded by his majes-
ty to acknowledge receipt Of your
letter of the 10th nit, enclosing a
press cutting which describes what
East Moline has collected for the
benefit of disabled soldiers of Bel
GUM. The king congratulates you
and all those who have helped in
making such a success of your local
efforts. I am yours faithfully

TEACHERS ASK
WAGE INCREASE
Instructors of Schools Petition the
Board for Advance OF ten
Per Cent in Wages.

Thirty teachers of the East Mo-
line schools have petitioned the
East Moline board OF education for
10 per cent increase in salary.
The petition was laid over for fur
Their consideration by the board
The adyisabiIity of giving teachers
a 10 per cent increase does not
seem to meet with favor OF school
officials.
instructors recently received an
increase Of $50 a year. The 10 per
cent increase would mean an IN
even advance OF wages for the
teachers. For instance, teachers
now receiving $50 -~ ponth would
be increased So, while teachers re
ceiving $40 a month would be in
creased but 81 monthly. The teach
ers are paid on a schedule of years
of service and experience l. is not
probable that the increase will be
granted.
Two members will be appointed
to attend the board convention to
be held in November at Decatur.
Mrs. S. A. Cartwright, member of
the East Moline board, and one 9th
er representative will attend the
conference. ID. B. Hoffman will
leave at the same time to attend
the convention for state supervis-
ors TO be held in Decatur.
The board also decided to take
out boiler insurance amounting to
S25. 600. 1t is not probable that
schools will be closed on account
of the Spanish inuenza epidemic as
few cases in the schools have been
reported. Children with colds or
symptoms of the disease are sent
home Immediately.

CRUSHCERMANY
CESSHEPHERO
Hun Crooked Peace Feeler, Such
As Given Russia Discouraged
by Correspondent

German atrocities, the leading of
the allies into a peace such as was
made at Brest-Livotsk and the Han
mili;arism which has grown up
with her sons since childhood,
were described and related in a
brilliant address made by William
G. Shepherd, veteran war CORES
pendent, TO the Moline After-D Din
ner club last evening.
There is only one way to deal
with the Germans and that is to
crush them and make them lay
down their arms" said the speaker
All this peace talk has been start
&c to get the newspapers to unset
tie US in our belief that the Ger
mans ought to be disarmed before
we talk peace. President Wilson is
inviting the German people to foot
race with US to get at the men who
caused this war"
Children going to school are in
structed by teachers, hired by the
German government, to teach them
that the soldier is the highest aim
III life and that to obey was the
Germans first duty. He further de-
Clared that Germany is today try
ing to do what she did TO Russia
PRIOR to the peace treaty of Brest-
Llvotsk. He showed how they
were taking the same steps with
the allies as they did with the Rus
SLAMS.
The German government agreed
to disarmament and said represent
atives of the German people would
be at the peace table The Rus
slams went to Brest-Livtosk but
they found the same old kaiser
crowd. There were no represent
atives of the people. And the min
ute peace terms were signed the
Germans rushed into Russia and
hung every Russian soldier who
talked peace. 1t was only a mill
tary trick"
The correspondent, who has
been on almost every battlefront in
this war told his audience how the
front line trenches also run through
this country. They run through
the center of our lives. 1t is con
troll OF the people that will end this
war and prevent another war We
are going TO present to our allies
the demand that democracy shall
rule the earth. If the masses of
all the people of Europe had voted
On this war there wouldn't have
been any war"
He compared the German atrocl-
ties to those of the Mexican and
by saying, The Mexi-
cans fought like a white man COM
pared TO the German. 1t was
something CHASTITY, almost inhu-
man TO see men driven as
i saw the soldiers of Germany
driven.
Early in the war l had seen at
every turn that the German was a
different kind of a soldier from the
| nIted States marines whom | had
seen at Vera CCruz. l knew that
no American would have fouled
the walls of Vera Cruz with OBJ
scene pictures and phrases the way
the Germans fouled the walls of
Antwerp. | vas neutral when l
hTst covered the war news | be
came an ally when my mind went
back to Vera Cruz and l knew
| United States marines could never
do the things those Germans were
doing in the air"
Shepherd described his expert
ences in Germany and his attempt
TO find out the true motive of the
German.
