Rock Island, March 25.-Editor
The Argus: 1 have been reading
the articles in The Argus under
the heading Of the Peoples Pulpit
of late and am of the opinion that
we have a few people in our midst
that still have a conscience. l am
at loss to know just how to ex-
press my feelings on this subject l
am about TO relate, but | hope to
make it strong enough to claim a
small amount of attention.
was out walking one day and
came upon bunch of frogs. Some
one had amputated their legs and
left them to die on the railroad
track. noticed the way they
opened and shut their eyes. They
were suffering the most intense
pain. They were still alive. The
next day and still suffering. 1 saw
the parties that did this inhuman
act going home with their catch of
frog legs. I suppose they ate them
for supper, never once thinking OF
the little victims they had lat
behind to suffer. Three of the
party were women. Now what l
want to know is can't the frog be
protected the same as birds and
other animals? 1t has a poor way
to protect itself as it cannot fly or
run. If people must eat frog legs
they should see that the frogs are
dead before they cut the legs off,
and not dump them out by the
bucketful to squirm and die in
such agony.
No doubt this article will cause
broad smile from some, but he
wouldn't smile if he was in the
frogs place. The poor little Great
ure puts up with enough when he
has his picture painted on corner
signs. but that don't hurt him any
for he never drank anything strong
er than water, but it does hurt him
to cut his legs off and be left for
hours to die. l hope some other
people will read this and think the
same as l do.

VOTERS in CITY
REGISTER TODAY
Registration Is Expected to Be the
Heaviest In History of
Rock Island.
POLLS OPEN TO 0 O'CLOCK
Both Wet and Dry Factions Busy
Throughout Day Registering
Prospective Votes.

Hundreds of voters visited the
various polling places in the pre-
cincts in the city today to make
certain that their name was en-
tered on the official poll books as
voters, this being the last registra-
ton day for the coming township
election, April 2.
Due to the local option issue
pending, today was a day of real
activity for both the wet and dry
organizations. Automobiles were
furnished by both factions to haul
prospective voters to tho various
polling places to register. Both
factions have made a cal eful CHECK
of the city voters, and those who
had failed to register were notified
by mail.
Due to extensive changes made
in the precinct lines this year by
the county board, more voters than
ever were forced to register over
again. Many who had voted for
years in one precinct bad their
polling place changed this year.
The polling places in the pre-
cincts opened at O'Clock this
morning and the judges will re-
main until o'clock this evening
Many of the employed voters Will
visit the polling places after sup
per tonight. The registration to-
day is expected to be the largest
in the history of Rock Island. Due
to increased war activities in the
many manufacturing plants in this
vicinity, thousand of new citizens
have arrived here since last year.
Many of these will be qualified ID
vote.

ceeds another. Human warfare will toll
somcly follow its course in slime and mud
on level with the soil, midway between the
fighting bees represented by the aeroplanes
and the belicosc ants represented by the sap
pers. Beneath lowering and stench-ladcn
sky, crossed in all directions by flights of
destructive aeroplanes, amid tho crash and
din OF machine guns on ground convulsed
with internal explosions, the solder-mechanic
will cling desperately to this poor oscillating
earth. lie will push along his guns on mud
sledges. His very life will be spent in suf-
locating murk
cit may be that the decisive effort will be
made in the endless tunnels down which mil
lions of men, heaped together in the dark,
will descend to strike deadly blow at the
enemy's military industry. Munition and
war material works, central factories Of
chemical products, will lie hidden beneath
the sides of some mountain. Here will be
fought the final battles, the combatants be-
ing caught between the water dashing along
the ground and the fire kinded by the mines
beneath their feet With lights extingushed,
along narrow passages all clammy with gore,
they will slaughter each other in the dark.
They will fight their way through corpses in
order to gct'to the avenues of the subterran-
can fortress where final stand with ex-
plosives and poison will be made.
''What a picture Of horror II
human genius continues to be applied to the
art of destruction, war will become frightful
beyond the dreams Of Imagination. When
corner of the veil is lifted the future shows
sights to make one shudder."
In this future war the population and
wealth of the whole world will be engulfcd.
The present struggle has proved that only
nations with great industrial and scientific
resources can wage war successfully. When
the present struggle ends there will probably
be period of prolonged peace and recupera-
ton, during which groups Of great powers
will restrain any individual nations from
going to war.
The future conflict will be deferred until
some question has arisen which divides prac-
tlcally the whole world in interest. Then the
two halves will fight until one dcvours the
other
Professor Blanchon forcsees the under
ground camps developed to such point that
railroads run into them from all parts of the
country, carrying millions of fighting men

who, in many cases, have been transported
from distant parts Of the world The under
ground camp is like some vast subway"
station, with track built above track, and
other machinery Of advanced scientific
slaughter on every hand. Beside the tracks
run vast pipes carrying poisonous gases and
fluids to be used at the fighting front.
Connected with the camp are chemical
laboratories where stats of chemists COM
deadly applications Of chemistry to warfare.
Vast stations for generating electric power
will be built in connection with this under
ground system. AS fuel cannot be burnt
freely underground, electric power will be
used for carrying troops, for tunnelling and
for other purposes.
Electricity will be a deadly weapon in un-
foreground warfare. Streams of water can
be electrified so that they will carry death to
all who are touched. Air apparatus has been
devised which casts two different kinds Of
rays. At the spot where they converge, tho
nitrogen Of the atmosphere is ignited and
everything at that point is burnt up
Every Imaginable means Of destruction
will be used in these underground combats.
Mining operations, in which great charge
OF high explosive is set off under the enemy's
lines, are already familiar. Such operations
are already made difficult by improved
means of detecting them. More insidious
methods will be employed in future The
earth beneath the enemy's tunnels will be
silently soaked with liquids that can be
ignited by electricity
Diseasc-nfected vermin and poisonous
fungi will be employed in rendering the
enemy's tunnels deadly and untenable
1T is Professor Blanchon 3 opinion that the
whole population of the world-men,
women and children of all ages-wiI be reg
Inlarly enrolled in the fighting forces of the
future. He points out that the Germans
have treated non-combatants worse than
combatant enemies in this war. Therefore it
will be necessary for everybody to become a
member Of fighting organization Even a
delicate woman or young child is fully able
to fire such a deadly weapon as the machine
gun.
Professor Blanchon logically analyses the
factors making for and against warfare and
reasons from them that we are to experience
still more deadly moro colossal struggles.
