SCOTT ADVISES
WAR ON TURKEY
Davenport Man Also Advocates An
Army of 10 Million in Stirring
Flag Day Address,

I'VE must send 100000 men to
Turkey and blow up CONSTANT
nople," declared George W. Scott
Of Davenport last evening in his
address at the Flag day exercises
held for the public by the Moline
Elks at their lodge rooms. we
must declare war on Bulgaria and
Turkey and make provision for an
American army of 100000 900 men. ="
Mr.. Scott declared himself in ia =
vor of the proposed law to raise
the draft age to 40 and wanted to
know what reasons there were for
he and every other man under so
not going out and fighting for
their country. He said that the
finest tribute to the flag is con-
tinuous spirit of devotion and 10y
aIty that manifests itself in con-
tinued sacrifices until the troops
of the United States march into
Berlin and dictate the terms OF
lasting peace.
If German propaganda had
gone on for 20 years more the
principles of our flag would have
gone down to defeat and ignomlny.
We are in this war to save the
American republic and the princi-
pies and institutions of America.
THE sole object of the German
propaganda was to destroy our
government. There is only one
thought in the minds of the Ger
man kaiser and the German people
and that is to run over and rule
over the world. -
IF ever man was proud to be-
an Elk he ought to be this year"
concluded the speaker" for when
war was declared a message was
sent to President Wilson from
HOO lodges, telling him that the
Elks would stand loyalty behind
the government"
Although the attendance last
night was not large, the ceremOn-
les were impressive and those
present were inspired with a re-
newed feelin gof patriotism. The
success of the program which the
lodge had so carefully prepared
was not questioned.

ment vas made 10y him in person to
the Tanlac representative:
Il am 60 years old and always en-
joyed good health up to about six
years ago. when | suffered a nervous
breakdown and my general health
gradually failed me. My principal
trouble was indigestion and catarrh.
but my whole system seemed TO be out
of shape. Ny condition finally got so
bad | couldn't sleep at night and al
ways after eating | would suffer so
from Indigestion and heartburn that
! felt just like there was a coal Of fire
in my stomach. My hearing and Wis
ion were also affected. | consulted
several doctors here in Knoxville and
other cities and they helped me con-
siderably and | finally got so | could
go around. but somehow | just could
mt feel right and could not sleep at
night, which made me awfully nervous
and nothing | would eat seemed to
agree with me.
Il began reading about this Tanlac
when you first came here. but did not
decide to try the medicine until | talk
ed with a friend Of mine who had ac-
tually used it. He said it was the best
thing he had ever taken. and that was
sufficient proof for me.

and came here this morning, not only
TO buy the second bottle. but TO tell
you just what it has done TO: M.

THE GOVERNMENT Is RIGHT

IL any new evidence was needed tc
support the government in its conten.
ton that the agitators, particularly
of the Industrial Workers of the World
kind. who have been causing much OF
the labor troubles of the nation, were
prompted by German agents, it has
been found by the French government,
A few days ago the French govern.
ment caused the arrest of IA saloon
keeper, a S%paniard, a Swiss and Z few
unknowns who were engaged in the
work of influencing workmen TO make
trouble.
This has always been a German pol
icy, and according to all the informa-
ton ut hand is still actively used in
the United States. The prosecution
by the government of the Industrial
Workers of the World has satisfied the
people Of the southwest that the labor
troubles prevailing in Arizona mining
camps for months were due entirely
to the work of German agents, because
no other cause has been discovered.
n II the reports coming up out Of
that state are to be relied upon the
government can look for more trouble
in the immediate future, and from the
same source.
Naturally, the Germans will not at
tempt TO make the trouble themselves
but they do, and will again. induce
Americans or men of other nations not
engaged in the war, to make trouble.
Some of the men are no doubt honest.
ly convinced of their being imposed
upon and the righteousness of their
acts, but they are very few in mum.
Der, because education in this coun-
try has made such ignorance rather
exceptional. The dangerous men are
those who know exactly why they are
causing the trouble and because of
their education and intelligence make
more or less effective camouflage for
their efforts as they go along.
1t is understood that the agents OF
the enemy have found ways Of opera.
tlon more or less successfully in the
state of Arizona, and it will be well
for the people of the southwest TO eX-
pect trouble. The state of New Mex.
leo should be prepared to protect It's
own interests, but We fear that we
will fall short if the matter is no,
given more consideration.
1t must always be carried in mind
that the state of New Mexico is sup
plying the industries of the entire
southwest with the necessary fuel. and
without 1t the government will have
trouble in securing copper. other met
ais and finding transportation facili-
ties.
