Rock Island arsenal's record dur
ing the last four Liberty loan cam
paigns is prompting Colonel Harry
B. Jordan, commandant, to seek the
naming Of a super-dreadnough aft
er the island.
In announcing that he was to
confer with Congressman W. j.

gard to the naming Of a battleship,
Colonel Jordan mentioned the fact
that Rock Island and Moline had
ships named after them for the re-
suits obtained in the fourth Liberty
loan and that Rock Island arsenal
had no honor bestowed.
Our record during the fourth
campaign was far in the lead of
either Rock Island or Moline" Col
oneI Jordan said. 'Ninety-four per
cent OF tho employees on the island

subscribed. We surely are entitled

Between 5000 and 5000 arsenal
employees attended an enthusiastic
meeting In store house on the Is
land yesterday. preparatory to the
coming Victory loan campaign.
There Is every indication that Rock
Island arsenal will uphold its rec
ord made during the last loan
drives.
81 do not expect every island en-
pioye to subscribe, but I do expect
to have everyone that can possibly
do 80 to purchase at least one of the
bonds" Colonel Jordan said. Rock
Island arsenal subscribed a total of
$s.125.0Oo during the last four cam
paigns."
