Strained relations between the
officials Of the Rock Island indie
pendents and the Davenport A. c.
developed yesterday afternoon as
a result of the Iatter's refusal to
accept an agreement to play Sun
days scheduled contest on a 60-40
per cent split Of the gate receipts,
In the meeting. Davenport held out
for the $3.50 proposition Manager
Flanagan was acting on the ex-
pressed wishes of his players when
he insisted that the other PROPOSE
ton should prevail
Neither side would give an inch.
Davenport maintained that the I'M
equal division would he N inius-
tlce to them in view of the fact
that they are not conceded a
chance to win the game. On the
other hand, Flanagan believes that
the best team is entitled to a great
eF portion Of the spoils.
At last reports the question was
still undecided. Flanagan LEFT last
night on a mysterious trip west,
and Davenport was left to think
the matter over.

Iowa Team Unwilling to Come to
Agreement with Their Chances
Of Coping Poor.

The controversy over the
split of the gate receipts for
Sundays game was wiped out
at noon today when represent
atiVes Of the two teams got to-
gether and agreed to an equal
division Of the 5POls, win, lose
or draw.
The crisis reached such an
acute stage at II O'Clock that it
looked like all negotiations
would be called of and the
game thrown into the discard.
Davenport officials said they
would rather see their Organi-
cation go on the rocks than
give In. Rather than disap-
point the thousands of fans
who want to see the game, the
$3.50 proposition was agreed
to.
DavenpOrt's refusal to play
COLO is an admission that they
are not cOnceding the n. A. c.
players a chance to win.

IN FOOTBALL
CAMPS
Wisconsin.

Madison, Wis, Oct 15.-Prepara-
ton for the Northwestern contest
started full blast yesterday at the
Badger camp, Coach Richards put
ting his men through one Of the
hardest drills OF the year. Al
though attention is still being con-
centrated on the line, the offense is
also being developed to a stage
where its scoring abilities will be
effective against conference opposi-
ton
With the material at hand for
powerful backfeld, Coach Richards
hopes to offset any mediocrity
which may persist in the Badger
line. In their two games this sea-
son the Badger backs and ends
have shown that they are able to
handle the forward pass as we'll as
carry the ball, and supporters of
the team are confident that the
passing game will play a large part
in Wisconsin's conference contests

TONGUES OF CHILDREN
HANG OUT LIKE DOGS
Kinsman in Syria Describes the
Awful Conditions That Exist.

Evidence as to the horrible condi-
tons that exist in the Near East Is
supplied in a letter that has recently
been received by Josef r. Stay, 1106
Chouteau avenue, st. Louis, from his
brother-in-law, teacher in the schools
at Hadchet, Mt. Lebanon, Syria.
This letter was more than two
months en- route, and was the first
that had been received since Turkey
entered the World War, and practical
ly closed Syria to intercourse with the
outside world.
1--WE have had no help from the out
side" writes the Syrian, land what
little we received from the crops was
seized by the Turks. There are no
doctors or nurses and if you do not die
OF starvation you die of disease.
1.-THE tongues of my children and
those of my neighbors hang out like
those of dogs. / feed them a little
bite at time in an effort to sustain
them.
"In our little village of 600 100 men
from 16 to 26 died in one day. There
is no one to bury the dead We lay
the bodies on boards and the dogs
drag them to the graveyards.
Money is scarce. If you borrow
sc you pay 10 cents per day interest,
and for one bushel of wheat you re-
turn five bushels. Wheat -four is sell
ing at SO cents per pound, and is
scarce at that"
This letter, written without view
to it's publication, in small way
shows the conditions in the far-off
Holy Land, conditions that the Ar
menian and Syrian Relief Campaign
is designed to relieve. Already much
has been done to provide relief. But
the work is so large, and the distress
so great, that America is called on to
contribute s3O,O0O,OOO to save these
peoples.
The campaign TO raise this fund has
been fixed to begin Feb. 3 and end
Feb. 10. Missouri has a quota OF
100000 to raise and In each county
an organization has been effected
under the leadership OF James r
Dunn, immigration Commissioner, o.
ST. Louis, and there is no doubt thai
Missouri win do its share in the greal
work.

DISTRESS III HOLY LAND
Armenian and Syrian Relief Only or
aanlzation That Can Reach Peo-
pies Who Suffer Most.

The proclamation issued by Presi.
dent Wilson, endorsing The Armenian
and Syrian Relief Campaign, that will
begin in Missouri Feb and end Feb.
40, has been accentuated by the Pres
hent's recommendation, made since
be began his travels abb Dad, that this
Government provide a fund of $780,
600 900 to loan TO the stricken and dy-
Ing peoples OF the small neutral coun-
tries that have been devastated by the
war.
Governmental aid cannot be extend.
cd to the people Of the lands of which
the Armenian and Syrian Relief Cam.
paign will relieve. There are more
than four millions of these Christian
peoples, driven from their homes by
The Turks and Kurds mainly because
they were Christians, who have no Ma
Honal Governments.
The Armenians lived in Turkish ter!
Htory. and were prosperous before the
war gave the Turks an opportunity to
massacre and torture them because of
their religious views, and at a time
when Christian America could scarce
ty join other Christian countries in ex-
tending the protection that in the past
had in a measure deferred the Turks.
But the Armenian and Syrian Relief,
with it's organization through the mis-
sionaries, were able to maintain a sys-
TEN of organization that gave some re-
lief The Red Cross was unable to
give this relief, because of its inability
10 get into the country where the suf-
eering was the greatest
Since the armistce was signed 9TH
er places hitherto inaccessible even to
the Armenian and Syrian Relief, are
now open, and the sums demanded are
much larger. Every cent Of money
contributed in this campaign will go
10 relieve the distress of the stricken
people
Every penny of the expense is pro-
vided for in another fund, supplied for
that purpose SO that not one cent Of
the contribu ions is to wasted.
The n eastern counties of Missouri,
organized under the direction of James
r. Dunn Of S.. Louis is asked TO raise
quota of 100000. The City OF ST.
Louis will raise $4,000 of this
amount. leaving but $25O,OOO for the
counties. This amount is divided up
Into small quotas, so that each county
can do the work asked without much
effort, and without financial strain.
Missouri has met every call on her
generosity in the past, and as this will
In all probability be The last of the
calls growing out OF the great war, and
Missourfs resources have not been Sc
verely taxed, there is no reason to fear
that the response will fail. and it is
anticipated that large oversubscrip
ton will result.

Il saw bird yesterday" said Jo-
seph Dunton, Monday morning. while
Mrs. Dunton and I were out for a
ride in our car, of a kind that I never
saw before in this part Of the coun-
try" and then he went on to say that
they were driving along on the
Church hill road when they noticed
beside the road a strange bird. From
descriptions he had read. he supposed
that the bird must be pheasant.
The bird did not appear to be very
wild, and as the car approached it,
the bird rose in the air and flew a
short distance. dropping into the
bushes on til, other side on the road.

himself as much pleased to learn
that one Of the birds had been seen.

local storms in the Great Lakes re-
gion and eastward.

evidenced by most startling electrical
displays.
