COunty'S Quota Higher.

The finance committee of the
council of defense received notifica-
ton from state headquarters of the
war work division stating that the
quota for Illinois had been raised so
per cent for the big war fund drive
beginning Nov. Il.
The quota for Mercer county will
be S42, $50 instead of $28,500 as
heretofore announced.
This increase is due to the fact
that the various organizations had
made their estimate for the sums
early last spring and conditions
have changed to such an extent
that it has been deemed necessary
for the added increase.
The government has demanded
that the funds raised for all camp
activities must be raised at one
time and as one fund. This fund
will be necessary to carry on the
camp activities whether the war
lasts or not, as it will be necessary
to look after the welfare of our
boys in France in regard to their
health and comfort.
The campaign for this united war
work will be done by the council of
defense.

Whether Harvey and Duey in

unknown. The two were picked up
by federal operatives when Smith,
carrying two additional bottles on
his person, in a sudden outburst of
intimacy passed one OF the bottles
to a friendly soldier.
At a hearing late yesterday be-

Loan Figures Public.

The unofficial report given out by
the district solicitors showed with
out a doubt that Mercer county
went over the top on the first day
OF the fourth Liberty loan drive,
showing the other counties of ILL
nois how to do it. An official re-
port has now, however, been re
ceived from the finance committee
showing that only one township
cut of Is in the county fell below
the quota.
The exact report of subscriptions
by townships cannot be ascertained
as there are overlapping school dis
tricts in each township, excepting
Eliza. However, the figures print
ed below are correct in so far as it
is possible to divide the subscrip-
tiOns evenly in regard to the Is
townships.
Under this basis the quotas as
signed to each township and the
amount subscribed by each one is

SQUAW OBTAINS
A CITY PERMIT
Cherokee Indian Woman is Mother

Are in France.

cines and Is PhrenOlOgist-

Mary Lehan, aged Cherokee In
dian squaw from the Cherokee res
ervation in Oklahoma and mother
of 81 children, six of whom are
serving the United States in
France, appeared at the Rock Is
land city hall yesterday afternoon
and obtained a permit from Mayor
William MCCOnoChie to sell trink-
cts, Indian curios, Indian cures for
rheumatism, tuberculosis, heart
trouble and other ills, without Ii
cense while in this city.
The squaw is aged and wrinkled,
but not grey of hair. She has hun
dreds of letters of endorsement
from United States officials, gov
ernors and municipal authorities.
She says her mother is still liv-
ing at the age of lis, is slightly
grey, rides horses, and is strong
and hearty in every way.
Ten Of the squaw's children were
students at Carlyle at the time the
United States entered the war. and
Of these. three sons volunteered and
are now fighting in France and
three daughters are serving in
France as nurses.
The woman was refused a permit
il Moline to practice her profession
of phrenology, the city authorities
claiming that issuing of such a II
cense is contrary TO the laws Of
Illinois.

paratively new member of the
board, was impressed by that in
formation and was inclined to
adopt that course, But the other
members apparently did not share
his view, according to Mr.. Kra-
mers version of the procedure.
Pleaded Haste.
An effort was made to learn what
occasioned this rush for bids on
work that was to cover a period
of two years. One of the commit
tee said that one or two of the
books would be needed within 80
days. Mr.. Kramer replied that when
quick work is wanted the appeal
usually comes to the local concerns,
because the county can get a quick
er delivery, and on one occasion he
had delivered a book within about
two days when one of the officers
found himself without a necessary
book
One point raised in connection
with the proposal TO buy a supply
of so books TO be delivered within
the next two years is that the pur-
chase is being made upon the high
est market in many years for that
class Of goods, and that such a con
tract binds boards Of supervisors
beyond two elections Of members
Of that body.

This map shows the countries
held by German oppression and the
countries invaded by Germany in
her attempt to bring middle Europe
under her domination. Today a
new map of Europe is fast making,
but not as the German war lords
had planned. When finished by the
allies it will show these small cOun-
tries so long oppressed again en-
joying self governing power and to
the Germans only the things that
are German.
The Alsace. the Italian Irredenta,
Poland. Bohemia will have realized
the hopes and dreams of their in
habitantS and the liberty loving
peoples of all the world in a return
to the protection of their native
government That is what the fight
for liberty and democracy means to
the thousands of brave soldier pa
triots of various lands and tongues
that are now fighting on the soil of
France and Belgium, in southern
Europe, in Russia and in Palestine.
Instead of more than doubling her
area and power as Germany had

Of her power and branded by the
civilized nations of the world as
cruel, barbarOuS and treacherous
and unworthy a seat in the cOun-
ellis of nations and not to be trusted
in their given word. A few short
months has found her changed from
the arrogant claimant of victory to
an artful, lodging suppliant of the
quarter she did not give. Today the
German heart is shaken with the
fear that there may be visited upon
her homes and lands the same de
vascation by fire and sword she so
ruthlessly melted out to the Bel
gians, French, Italians, Serbians
and other countries her hOrdes of
Huns Overran since 1914.
And while she is contemplating
the near approach of utter defeat of
her armies on all fronts she views
the disintegratiOn of the German
empire, as the various peoples she
has so long oppressed make ready
to set up their own form of indie
pendent government or join their
former governments.
And yet the end is not. for the
new Germany that must arise from
the ashes of the old must rebuild
and repair in so far as it is hu-
manly possible the destruction
wrought by her vandaI armies in
all invaded countries. So speaks
