HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

To successfully finance the war it is
necessary that owners of Liberty
bonds hold their bonds if possible.
Where for any good reason it is nee
essary for them to turn their bonds
into cash they should seek the advice
of their bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very desira-
bic investments, and crafty individ-
uals are using various means to Sc
cure them from owners not familiar
with stock values and like matters.
One method is to offer to exchange
for Liberty bonds stocks or bonds of
doubtful organizations represented as
reaurning a much higher income than
the bonds.
There are various other methods
used and likely to be used, some of
the gOld-brick variety and others less
crude and probably within the limits
OF the law. All offers for Liberty
bonds except for money and at mar
ket value should be scrutinized care
fully. The bonds are the safest of in
vestments and have nontaxable and
other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty loan bonds,
II possible, is patriotic. To consult
your bankers before selling them is
wise

nouncement worked on the production
of ''Tarzan of the Apes" for six months.

players including Elmo Lincoln, Enid

Colin Kenny, and over five hundred
others, the organization set out for the
dense tropical country.
Far up the mouth of little known
river, midst primeval jungles, the nu-
merous scenes representing South
Africa, were picturized.
So dense, so primeval were the sur
roundings, that it was necessary to en-
gage snake killers and bush beaters to
precede the company each day.
Hundreds of poisonous reptiles were
killed at the various locations, and
mountain lions, panthers, oscelots and
wild boars were slain each day, near
the scene of action. In this rugged
natural barrier of fungus. terrible un-
der the over growths, the amazing story
was pieturized.
A man known to the entire film world
and the public, because of his work in

OMNIsCIENCE vs.. PRESUMPTION

The Chicago Tribune has correctly
analyzed the frame of mind OF the
administration when it says that
disagreement, in large or small part,
with the policies of the administration
becomes disloyalty to the nation.
There is the whole trouble. The ad-
ministration assumes without assert
ing intallfbility, Notwithstanding it
has been compelled so many times in
the past TO abandon its policies and
adopt those Of its critics- II the ad-
had been a leader along
lines that proved right half the time,
it might assume to set up standards
Of craftsmanship. The fact is that
others have been the real pioneers in (
sound national policies and the ad- /
has belatedly assumed .
q leadership by virtue of its official
prestige rather than because of pre-
Vision. In view of the record it is in
that anyone could +
lccept the mandate of the admins
ration as to the fitness of any man
or election to the Senate or House
# Representatives. To have a rub

nough, but it would be disastrous to

SENATOR WILLARD SA11I

SENATOR WILLARD SALISBURY
has stated that he would Withhold any
expression Of his as to the recent
election results in Delaware. assign
ing as a reason therefor, that he
might be misunderstood. One of the
purposes for this seems to be ac-
cepted by the general public, as the
intent TO contest the election and
seating of Senator Ball in the next
Session Of the United States Senate
upon what grounds or along what
line, it is uncertain. Had the mem
bership of the next United States
Senate have been a tie, or even one
majority, there is no doubt but what
the contest would have been made.
There are several reasons for this,
but the leading object would be to
secure the control of the Senate for
the Democratic Party. Each body of
the Congress of the United States. |
is the final judge as to title to mem |
0ership therein, and with the politi-
cal needs so great, there is but little
doubt but that the contest would be
made if the object could be secured.
However, there is little prospect for
this as she Republicans seem to have
secured a majority which stops this
enort reaching a successful termina-
tion. The defeat of Senator Sauls-
bury by Senator Ball is a plain case.
The facts are plain. In MANY alAo-

peace conditions, and for the formula
tiOn of peace treaties between the ma
tons involved. It must not be forgot
.tsn that there will be penalties and
guarantees exacted of the defeated
countries, which may appear drastic
but we must also remember the hor-
Tors which Belgium, France, Russia,
Serbia, Italy, and other war torn
countries have undergone for the past
sour years.
Until the peace conference has com
pteted its duties, our soldiers will have
to remain upon European soil and
help guard the German, Austrian,
Turkish and other lands along with
the armies Of England, France and
Italy. The fighting is done-it is
hoped-but it is duty imposed upon
the victorious armies. to see that

CUSTOM HAS BECOME almost an
unwritten law for the Delaware State
Senate TO follow in choosing the Presi-
dent Pro Tenn for that body; but,
this should not be permitted to stand
in the way Of getting the best re-
suits for the people. This particular
Office has great importance upon the
results of all legislation, as it is the
President Pro Tenn who appoints the
standing committees, thru which
must come the favorable or unfav-
orable consideration OF all laws. It
is therefore of the greatest impor-
lance, that a man in sympathy with
progressive measures for state and
county government, and also wise TO
the needs of legislation for private
enterprises, shall be at the head in
making these committees. Delaware
is now under a new and independent
line of thought, and it was this pur-
pose the people had in view when the
election was held last week, that the
law making power in Delaware should
be favorable to newer and better
iorms of transacting public affairs,
md they so expressed themselves by
,ending overwhelming majorities to 2
10th branches OF the Legislature in a
composed mostly of men
Who are in sympathy with these y
ieas. In looking over the list of 7
republican Senators, both holdover n
nd the newly elected membership, il
lere is one man who especially rep =, ~
ssents the purpose of the people Of a,

e rural people of Delaware. He vii

ONE OF THE items of Importance
the United States Government must
not overlook at the conclusionof peace
with Germany is the German popula-
tion and the pacifists in this country
who refused to support the United
States and attempted to create trouble
during the period Of the war. All
such persons must be deported from
the limits of the United States and be
to remain outside the limits
Of this or any other country controlled
by the United States Government If
this Government was not worth fight
ing for. it is not a proper place for the
paciist to live, and so we must clean
out all people of that class and COM
pei them to experience the joys Of
ne system under which they were
willing that this country should be
brought to suffer Should they re-
urn, penal institution would be their

~Uer Regiments at Burtis,

Lb l1os
With a whole seasons run to its
credit at the Knickerbocker theatre,
New York, Victor Herbert's new
musical comedy, Her Regiment"
will be heard for the first time in
this community at the Burtis thea
tire on Sunday afternoon and even
ing.
William lie Baron collaborated
with the noted composer, and is
said to have created a book with an
original comedy plot, and numer-
Gus jingling lyrics of the sort that
makes one hum the chorus. The
production made under the man
agement of Joe Weber retains for
this tour Frank Moulan and the en-
tire original company.
The story has to do with the for
tunes of EstelIe Duverney, the niece
of a countess, and the young son
of a French gentleman who is serv-
ing incognito in the ranks of d
French regiment While the scenes
of the play are laid in Normandy, in
"a military atmosphere, the piece
has nothing to do with real war
The only conflict in evidence is a
battle of wits, with Frank Moulan
playing the role of a heavy artiI-
Iery with a bonn bardment of laughs
In association with Mr.. Moulan
are Mabel WILDER, Roland HogUe,
Norma Brown. Anthony Hughes,
Lila Blow, Nate Ellis, George Av-
Grill, Edward Wade, Tracy Elbert,
Evelyn PlumadOr, and the big beau
ty chorus.

the long months of the fighting is
one of the treasured recolIect1ons
which the soldiers have of the pains
taken to keep them cheerful.
Tells of Verdun.
The speaker told of a citadel IN
the side of a hill just under the
guns of the forts at Verdun, which,
he said, had been converted into a
small city, with its own waterworks
system, market places, etc, where
the civilians who still remained in
the bOmbarded area could be safe.
This underground city was said to
be large enough to accommodate
$4,000 troops, if need be, and had
been provided with that possible
use in view. Here, however, during
his stay, there were gathered all
that remained of Nerdun's original
civilian population of 1l5, 000-sOme
three thousand home-loving French
men, who could not be driven away.
The Salvation Army was right on
the ground to look after them, as
well as the soldiers. and the same
was true Of the other war work
campaign. These instances, which
were only a few of many, should
be maintained, lead the home pub
lie to realize the Importance of
backing up the work they have done
and must still do before the men
at the front are finally safe home
again.
BOrrOws so.
And when they got ready to come
home. said the speaker, some or
them may find very real financial
assistance from the Red Cross.
which often advances money to the
pennless soldier. He himself he
confessed, had been obliged to Dor
row $40 from the Red Cross when
he was invaIided home. and had re-
paid it after landing in this coun-
try. In a thousand different ways,
these various agencies are cheering
and helping the man across the
seas and in the training camps
right here at home. he declared,
and they are eminently worthy of
the financial support they are seek
ing. He concluded by wishing the
assembled workers the best Of sue
cess in their efforts to put Rock
Island across for its full quota.
Was Impressive.
Private Chalfant's address made
a very real impression on his hear
ers and was received with enthus-
iastic applause. It was a first hand
revelation of what the united or
CARNATIONS are doing for the BOYS
IN France and will undoubtedly
have its effect in squirting the
workers to greater efforts during
the closing days of the campaign.
The next luncheon. which will be
the last in this campaign, will oc-
cur Tuesday noon at the Rock Is
land club. II is heralded as an

drive managers are counting on the
people Of Rock Island to justify
their optimism in making the an
