BOCHE HORRORS
SHOWN ON FILM
Security League Presents Inspiring
e Movie While Lecturer De-
nOunces Atrocities.

Saturday night and yesterday aft
ernoon Moliners had the opportun-
ity of attending one of the most in
spring patriotic demonstrations
that has ever appeared in the city
when G. w. Sullenberger lecured
on the war at the showing of the
picture Wake Up, Amrrica" I'M
der the auspices of the Security
league. An open air meeting was
held Saturday evening between the
Sohrbeck building and the Bio
theatre on Fifth avenue and yes
terday the pictures and lecture were
given in the Moline high school
auditorium.
In Germany" declared Mr.. Sui
lenberger, they have no statutes
which typify liberty, justice and
democracy. Their statutes glorify
military power and military con-
quests. Germany has grown through
policy of burglary.
THE present kaiser's nursery
was small arsenal. The present
kaiser was the most apt pupil the
German military teachers ever had.
He was told to initiate his ances-
tors and make himself powerful at
all costs. He was taught to prac-
tice barbarities, atrocities and de-
ceptions. L am the instrument OF
the Almighty. Woe and death to
all who oppose me- said the kaiser
and he believed it."
The pictures described the early
life of the kaiser and depicted some
of the policy of conquest which has
been rampant in Germany during
the last so years. The invasion OF
Belgium was shown with all its
horrors, with its killing of innocent
civilians and with its stabbing OF
defenseless women
That is what will happen to Illi-
nois," said the lecturer, unless
the people of America stand be-
hind their president and the men
who are being trained over here and
over there now"

The first iss e,fsri of such an en-
barge Is "a cause the closing of all de-

However the big effect of this en-
barge on rock phosphate movement Is
on the farm Itself, where fer

production can only be secured through
higher acre yields produced by using
what labor we have on land so ferti-
