VOLUNTEER AID
NOW REQUESTED
Workers in Immediate Demand ut
Emergency Hospital To Care
for Those Who Are I'LL.

To the public spirited citizens of
Rock Island: There is great need
at the emergency hospital for addi-
tional help. The sources of supply
of professional nurses have been
exhausted and additional assistance
TO relieve those who have patriot
ically volunteered is now much
needed
An effort has been made through
the employment bureau to obtain
men to assist the pneumonia ward
to restrain deliriouS patients, but
without response though Iiveral pay
is offered. Should this appeal
reach anyone who is willing to help
for wages or any one who would
volunteer to make his or her con-
tribution to the Red Cross by offer
ing such assistance, it would be
much appreciated
Private families who are keeping
professional nurses in their employ,
especially where sickness does not
prevail. are appealed to, to re-
lease them or to tender to the hos
pital as their voluntary contribu-
ton to Red Cross, the services of
such nurses during the present dire
emergency.

SOCIAL EVENTS

An appeal was made to the people
Of this city who have old kid gloves
to turn them in at the store These
will be used to make aviators' jack
cts. The old gloves will be sent to
New York and there made into
Jackets for the aviators in our ser
vice. Although some have respond
ed quite generously, there are a
great number who have not. An
other appeal is made to the latter.
Most every family has numerous
old gloves around in some box, rag
bag or corner that are doing no
good whatsoever. So why not put
them to use that will help our
country in a great way? Taken
alone, one old torn kid glove does
not seem of any value. But taken
with many others it can be put to
use for the boys in the aviation
branch of the service Any day
that one happens TO be shopping is
a convenient time to turn them in
to the store The boys need them;
you don't.
A general class for all Patriatic
league members will be started in
this city as soon as the quarantine
is lifted The girls will be instruct
ed in singing and will later be or
ganized into a choral society. Girls
wishing to join this class may do
so by handing their names to their
respective presidents or to Miss
Marion Clark, the executive secre-
tary

TEXT OF WILSON'S ANSWER TO CHARGE
OF REPUBLICAN ON HIS PEACE TERMS

Washington. Oct. 2S.-Following
is the text of President Wilson's let
ter answering the Republican con-

peace terms is a free trade plank
Il am glad to respond to the
question addressed to me bv your
letter of Oct &c. The words 1 used
IN my address to the congress OF
Jan S, 1918, were:
The removal. so far as possible,
or all economic barriers and the es-
adjustment OF any equality of trade

restriction upon the free determine
Jon by any nation Of its own eco

ever tariff any nation might deem
necessary for its own economic
service, be that tariff high or low,
1t should apply equally to all for
eign nations; in other words. that
there should be no determinations

nation free to determine for itself
its own internal policies and limits

MUST REGISTER
TO CAST VOTES
Tomorrow Is Last Chance for Those
Whose Names Are Not Already
On Books.

All persons qualified to vote and
who have not yet done so, should
report to their polling place tomor-
row and register. Tuesday is the
last registration day for the fall
election, and all who have moved

not qualified to cast ballot in this

may be qualified to cast a ballot

Several propositions are to be
voted on outside of the casting of

First of these is the constitutional
convention proposition, whereby
Illinois voters will decide whether
or not the states basic law is to be
brought up TO date. The hard road

ple.

will not submit to a general pro-
gram OF justice and equality.
The experiences of the past
among nations have taught US that
the attempt by one nation to pun
ish another by exclusive and dis
criminatory trade agreements has
been a prolific breeder of that kind
Of antagonism which often times
results in war, and that il perma-
nent peace is to be established
among nations every obstacle that
has stood in the way of interna
tional friendship should be cast
aside. 1t was with that fundamen-
tai purpose in mind that / announc-
ed this principle in my address OF
Jan. s. To pervert this great prin-
ciple for partisan purposes, and TO
inject the DOGGY of free trade, which
is not involved at all. is to attempt
to divert the mind of the nation
from the broad and humane prin
ciple of a durable peace by intro
ducing an internal question of quite
another kind. American business
has in the past been unaffected by
a policy of the kind suggested and
it has nothing to fear now from a
policy of simple international JUS
tice. 1t is. indeed, lamentable that
the momentous issues of this sol
emn hour should be seized upon in
an effort to bend them to partisan
service. To the initiated and dis
corning, the motive is transparent
and the attempt fails.
Sincerely yours,

EVERY ONE TO
BUY LIBERTY
LOAN BONDS
LATAH COUNTY EXECUTIVE COM
MITTEE ON LIBERTY BONDS
WILL TAKE ACTION
NAMES TO Be PUBLISHED
AFTER APRIL "a NAMES OF ALL
WHO REFUSE TO BUY WILL BE
MADE KNOWN

| Every one must do his or her part
in the Liberty loan campaign. That
was decided Officially" at two meet
| ings of the executive committee of the
Latah loan committee held in the Of
| flee of Senator Lewis last night and
| this forenoon. The meeting was well
attended by representative citizens and
| it was unanimously agreed that every
one must do all that he or she can to
help the government at this time.
I A card index system showing the
assessed valuation of all of the prop
erty owners of Latah county has been
prepared. The committee will know
just what each man is worth and the
man who has several hundred acres
of land or property worth thousands of
dollars will not be permitted to escape
by buying one or two $50 bonds. If
he is able to take $1,000 worth he will
be required to take that amount. The
government is providing means for
backing these committees and the man
who refuses to do his duty is Gin bad"
with the federal government and can
expect no mercy.
Not having the money will be no ex-
cuse. The banks will loan the money
and take the bonds for security and
they will reduce the interest rate, for
the purpose of buying bonds, only, to
6 per cent If man can not pay
cash for his apportionment of bonds he
can get the required amount by pay
ing per cent of their face value in
cash and can get the money from the
banks at 6 per cent for the remaining
95 per cent The bank will take his
note for the amount still due, payable
October /, at per cent, and hold the
bond on which per cent has been
paid as security for the loan.
Thus, if a man is able to take $1,000
worth, or it is felt that he should take
that much, he can pay $50 cash,
and give his note for $3.50 due Oc-
tober 1. The bank will take this
note, bearing per cent and hold the
note and the bonds until the note is
due All that the purchaser of the
bond loses is the difference between
4 IA and per cent from the date OF
purchase to October /. The man who
is not willing to do this will be re-
garded as a Stacker" as unpatriotic
and his name will be published in the
newspapers, day after day, as such.
There will be no variance from this
rule.
