RUSSIANS HELD IN
GERMANY HELPED
BY YANK WORKERS

Paris.-Half a million Russians
in Germany who formerly were
prisoners of war have been lifted
out of dependency within the last
four months. partly by a course of
training in American ideals, Amer
lean sports and American spirit,
said Major James A Babbitt of
Philadelphia, when he returned re-
Gently from Germany on his way to
the United States.
Major Babbitt IS a professor in
Haverford college and a member
Of the American football rules
committee. He was chief of the
bureau of medical and surgical re-
lief for the American Red Cross
in Germany and visited nearly all
the camps where Russian prison
ers were interned.
Eve found the Russian war pris-
oners in a state of complete lassi-
tude, mentally and physically" he
said. "They had spent four years
in the neglect and misery of Ger
man internment camps. 1t was
enough to break the strongest
mans spirit Their own country
had forgotten them and no word
had come from their relatives and
friends. There was no future in
Germany nor hope of anything bet
ter in their own country. Hundreds
of thousands of Russians who had
fought for the allied cause
were slowly dying from depression,
mental inactivity and physical
malnutrition.
1--WE put them to school like
children. Athletic games were in
troduced into the camps and these
stimulated the prisoners physical

~ while motion pictures and other
mental recreations frightened their
dull hours. Their hospitals were
provided with every needed medi-
cal and surgical requisite. The
camps were organized under the
command of the American army
personnel. They began to take on
a new physical aspect and the men
showed signs of returning life and
courage. Although they at first re-
garded US with suspicion, this was
soon changed and they looked upon
US as friends. They formed camp
committees which brought all their
needs, grievances and fears to our
attention"

J arbitrate and had expressed them
selves so; but that the officials
would not agree to arbitration I'M
til the strikers had abandoned the
right of recognition of their union.
They felt sure, from other dealings
with telephone companies, that if
their union were not recognized no
settlement could be depended upon
as being permanent.
Manager Thomas S. Brown of the
company in this district would not
deviate from his stand against the
union. The strikers said that they
would not yield to the corporation s
stand, but would force the COM
pany to terms.
Barrett Gone.
Commissioner Barrett is today on
his way to St Louis to handle a
strike there. He announced his
intentions to take this step yester-
day, saying that he would return
to Rock Island in few days to
again take up the situation here.
Although the union leaders were
a bit disappointed yesterday, their
efforts to force the company to
terms have not subsidized.
Miss Mae Matthews is expected in
the city soon to personally man
age the picketing of the exchange
building. 1t is believed that i'm
petus to a strike decision will be
given with the arrival Of this per-
son, who has accomplished more in
picketing than any other of the
operators national body, it is said.
If threat of last Sunday is car
ried out, all telephones will be re-
moved from homes of union men
tomorrow. This would mean the
dismantling of thousands of tele-
phones in Rock Island, Moline and
East Moline.

A phono8raph is needed in

On the lonely ranch, at the

That is the only term which

wonderful phono8raph. For it
really creates music anew. It does
more than merely reproduce music like
the talking machine" Everyone can

million music lovers have proved that
when the music of the New Edison IN

ago It was considered as being SUR

with the opening of new highways,
the application of modern farming

With Umatilla the terminal for
passenger and freight traffic, with the
opening up of new gravel pits and
the resumption of those already in
stalled, there win be a city built upon
the shells of passing generation.
The city will be made far more at

After INFLUENZA, GRIP
And Other Frustrating Diseases That
Exhaust the Strength,

There is always a depleted condI-
tion of the blood. that extreme tired
feeling, nervousness and digestive
weakness from which recovery is
slow unless a good medicine is taken.
The lack of red corpuscles in the
blood makes it too thin properly to
nourish the body, and the general
prostration, annoying humors, boils,
loss of appetite and poor digestion
prevent progress towards health.
Hoods Sarsaparilla meets these
conditions perfectly, as many people
know. 1t has proved the greatest
blood-purifying vitalizing medicine.
Nothing else so good in Spring.
1t is made from a formula COM
prising ingredients often used by the
best physicians for impure blood,
scrofu1a, rheumatism, weakness.
Truly it purifies the blood and makes
the weak strong. For a fine family
cathartic, take Hoods Pills.
