RED CROSS HELP
FOR SOLDIER ON
EACH TRANSPORT

AT every turn the American SOL
der is finding the Red Cross repre-
sentative on hand and ready to
serve him. The latest development
of this service Is upon the trans
ports which carry our boys to
Europe.
Every transport leaving for Eng
land or France is to have aboard a
trained Red Cross worker whose
special business will be to hook
after the comfort of the men. These
representatives will learn the
anxieties of the soldiers as regards
their home affairs and will under
take commissions from them TO ad-
just conditions to a satisfactory
basis.
For instance, a soldier, acting
under the secrecy that the war de-
partment must enforce to keep valu-
able information from the enemy,
may have had to leave for France
without notifying his family and
without making certain last pre-
paratfons for their welfare. The
Red Cross representative on ship
board will offer to help him and
will send back a report to the Red
Cross home service department
which will result In action.
Letters, messages and other per
sonal matters will be handled in
confidence by the Red Cross repre-
sentative, who also will explain to
the soldiers what they may expect
PROM, tho Pad Crooc in Franco They
may expect canteen service, hos
pital service, service in the thick Of
battle and many other helpful serv-
ices.
With his mind free from worry
because the Red Cross is doing this
for him, the American soldier is 60
ing to give a wonderful account of
himself in the days to come.

RULES FOR RED
CROSS WORKERS
All Doubtful Points Concerning Ar
ticIes Turned In Explained by
Local Chapter.

The dos and dont's" of Red
Cross knitting are the constant sub
tect of questions at local headquar-
tiers, and experienced knitters as
we'll as beginners are anxious to
know Just how the Red Cross wants
its work done.
In consequence the knitting de-
partment has gathered together all
the points about which there may
be doubt. and has neatly listed
them so that the women knitters of
Rock Island will know just what
standards of inspection are main
tanned.
Here are the rules:
Red Cross knitting is ordinary,
good knitting.
The Red Cross knitter need not
be a knitter of experience; but ev-
cry Red Cross knitter must keep in
mind the fact that she is knitting
for soldiers, and that the uses to
which they put the articles are
slightly different than those of the
civilian. The Red Cross rules for
knitted articles are designed to pro-
duce articles which fit these pecul-
lar needs and uses.
Red Cross knitting is 80 per cent
common sense and 10 per cent
rules, but the rules themselves are
100 per cent common sense.
Socks-The feet must be at least
IL inches long. Casting on must
be loose so that they will not bind
at top. Socks must be free from
Jumps and ridges and toe. above
all, must be smooth. Remember
the possible blisters on soldiers
feet. Wash with white soap and
pat into shape.
Sweaters-At least % inches
long when lying fiat, unstretched.
on table. Neck bound off loose. A
mans head must go through it No
bright stripes any place.
Helmets-Only one kind-the one
described In the directions with
small cape back and front. Top
free from Jumps and ridges.
Wrist1ets not less than II inches
long; should be II. Bound off and
cast on loose. No bright stripes.

PAST ACTION NOT COUNTING
Fact That Bonds We're Bought Be-
fore Not Held Reason for
Not Buying Again.

II Rock Island IS to go over the
top in the third Liberty loan drive,
every man and woman must sub
scribe for bonds TO the full amount
OF his and her ability.
Those who have not subscribed
must get In and those who have
undersubscribed Will be called
uuon to increase the amount they
have voluntarily loaned to Uncle
sam. Rock Island, to a certain
extent. has responded nobly to
this patriotic plea for dollars, but
the people Of wealth have not done
their full share" says statement
issued today by the Liberty loan
committee. Figures compiled thus
far show that most of the bonds
sold have been in small parcels.
and although we'll to do people
have subscribed, It has not been to
the full extent OF their resources.
Many who can afford to purchase
a thousand dollars worth of bonds
have bought a tenth of that
amount, or less. and there Is in
stance upon instance which Is re-
vealing what is known among the
%Eorkers in the campaign as q part
patriot"
Rest assured, those Of you who
have done your share that every
body else will do theirs, or show
good reason for not doing so. The
laboring man, the skilled workman
and the merchant, on che whole,
are doing their share, but they can
not fill up the quota alone. In the
re-canvass. which will commence
Monday, everyone who has not sub
scribed or who has not subscribed
enough, will be called upon by a
bond salesman and given opportu-
nifty to do the right thing by Uncle
Sam. If the response is not as
liberal as It should be, report will
be made TO district headquarters
where the matter will be handled
after the campaign has closed.
Past Doesn't Count
Simply because someone bought
bonds IN previous loans is no rea-
son why none should be bought by
him in this issue. His responsi-
biIity to the government, his home
and his family. will not rest on
the laurels OF past actions. Even
If he has not paid in full for bonds
OF the last issue, his responsibility
has not ended Everybody is called
upon TO buy bonds to the limit of
available resources and credit. Let
him mortgage his resources. or his
salary, or anything else of value
he may have. so that Uncle Sam
and his allies can put into use ev-
cry dollar he needs and then some.

WAR SAVINGS IN
SCHOOLS DOUBLE
PREVIOUS TOTAL

The total collection for the war
savings fund made by the State
bank of Rock Island yesterday Is
practically double that OF the high
est collectien made on any previous
Friday. This collection shows that
the school children are willingly
doing their bit in helping this great
campaign. Lincoln, high school
and Horace Mann take the honors
in this list
In the regular school savings,
Hawthorne, Audubon and Irving
occupy the stellar positions on the
list.

It is a privilege now to loan mon
ey to the government, and there is
no room for doubt that 1t will ever
be necessary for the government
to draft dollars into service in the
same way that fighting men are
being taken.
Until every man and woman IN
Rock Island has done his or her
share toward the success OF the
loan locally, the work of the COM
mittee will not be completed. AL
most the entire state of Illinois
has gone over the top, and Rock
Island is going to do so early in
the coming week, and then pile up
sufficient sum to reach the two
million mark or more.

Today. as you well know. the world
is in the throes Of q titanic struggle.
Men by the million have hurled them
selves into the great conflict. Men by

Never before in the history OF man
was there such a war. Never before
was the issue at stake so tremendous.
For It is world destiny that 10 at

The war, though waged by men. is
really a war between ideals OF world
organization. 1t is q war the seeds OF
which were Sown many, many years
ago, when first man became vaguely
conscious of his Unborn right to lib
erty and happiness.
In days now happily remote 1t was
universally held that the world was
in the keeping of a chosen few-kings,
princes, nohles-who had the order
ing of all things.
Their happiness alone mattered.
Other men were but pawns to be
moved this way and that at the ca
price of the divinely favored. And
men everywhere accepted this as -

cation, questionings arose. A few
bold souls murmured under the uni
versal servitude. Outlawry, torture
and death were their fate.
But they found successors The
minds of men were constantly grow
ing and broadening. Aspirations un-
dreamed in the murky epochs OF the
early world gripped their imagination.
Now the heart cry of the rights OF
man was raised against the dogma or
prestige and privilege. Little by lit

In the years that have interviewed
democracy has gained ground every
where. Today autocracy, threatened
with total extinction. is making a last
effort to reaSsert it's hideouS claims.
That is the meaning Of this war.
If, under the leadership of the Ger
man emperor, autocracy should carry
the day. the worlds tomorrow would
be terrible indeed.
No wonder the democratic peoples
of the earth are valiantly giving bat
tie, No wonder he United States, the
first great democracy, has pledged her
mighty resources of men and treasure
to the cause Of world freedom!
And at this very moment America
is making a special effort, not only to
raise an invincible army, but to raise
billions of dollars to insure through
that army a bright tomorrow for the
democratic ideal
Not all Americans can find a place
among the fighting men. But all can
help the fighting men by becoming
subscribers to the fourth liberty loan,
for which canvassers are now busy
everywhere. And, rich or poor. all
true Americans will thus help to the
limit of their bond-buying power.
