RELIEF WORKER
TALKS AT CLUB
Arthur C. Ryan to Address Rotar.
ians Tomorrow On Behalf of
Campaign for Aid in East
IN TOUCH WITH SITUATION
Months of Experience in Devastated
Countries Gives Him Complete
knowledge of Conditions.

Arthur c. Ryan, who has been en-
gagged in missionary and relief
work in the near east since the fall
of 1911, has returned with his wife
and children to this country and
will be an active worker in the ma
tion-wide campaign for Armenian
and Syrian relief opened by the
American committee today. Mr..
Ryan is an exceedingly interesting
speaker and has been persuaded to
make a tour of Illinois in the inter
ests of the relief work to tell of his
experiences in the years when he
was so closely associated with the
people of Syria and Armenia He
speaks in Rock Island tomorrow
noon at the Rock Island club, be-
fore the Rotarians.
In October, 1911, just two weeks
after the outbreak of the war be
tween Turkey and Italy, Mr.. Ryan
landed in Constantinople to take up
missionary work under the Ameri-
can board of commissioners for for
eign missions. For 10 months he
made his headquarters in the in
terror of Asia Minor while travel
ing over the country and visiting
many of the large cities and towns.
From September, 1912, 10 March,
1916, his home was in STEAMBOAT, an
old and typically Oriental part of
the city of Constantinople. This
being at the end of the Turko-Ital-
ian war Mr.. Ryan and his family
experienced some of the horrors
due 10 after-war conditions and la
ter experienced the two Balkan
wars, as well as the first 20
months of the recent world war.
Much relief work fell TO the lot
of Mr. Ryan and his associates
from November, 1912, to June, 1913,
when thousands of Moslem refu-
gees swarmed into STEAMBOAT before
the advancing Bulgarian troops.
During these months many thous-
ands of dollars worth of food and
clothing passed through their
hands. Most of this work was done
for the Constantinople chapter of
the American Red Cross of which
Mr.. Ryan was elected secretary in
the winter of 1914.
Sees Cruelty.
In 1915 he was sent to Bardizag,
Turkey, to try TO protect the prop
erty of American missionaries and
there he saw much of the terrible
work of the Turkish government
in its cruelty to the ArTnenians. He
was accused by the Turkish police
at Constantinople of being too
closely identified with the Armen-
ian people, was therefore under
suspicion and requested to settle up
his business and leave the country.
The story of Mr.. Ryan's wartime
travels includes wartime episodes
of France, Turkey, Switzerland,
Roumania, Bulgaria, Serbia and
Austria Hungary.

DEFENSE COUNCIL
URGES HONORS BE
GIVEN ROOSEVELT

In a bulletin to the state council
Of defense. the council of national
defense calls upon every community
Of the state to doshonor to the mem
DRY of Theodore Roosevelt on Sun
day, Feb. 9. There VIII be a spe-
cial memorial service in congress
upon that day, and the national
council asks that it be observed
everywhere. In asking for this
service the national council says:
THE honoring of Theodore Roose-
welt is a matter that transcends
party belief and personal preju-
dice. He lived greatly for Amer
lea, and that is enough to justify
even those who opposed him, in
mourning his death. With iron
courage he performed a major OPP
Grafton on the public morals of his
country at a time when public eth
les had become dulled, and with
daring and unfailing dignity he
measurably increased the prestige
of America abroad. OF no Ameri-
can can it be more truthfuIly said
that his heart was incarnadined
alone all Americans who have liv-
ed in his time should hold them
selves in his debt, and should turn
aside on the ninth day of February
to honor his passing from the ma
tional stage"

THREATS FAIL so
HE TRIES ROBBERY

Failing in his threat to extort 81
900 from Nicholas ]. Coin, presi-
dent of the Davenport Ice Cream
company, proprietor of the Daven-
port Loan & Investment company
and president and treasurer of the
Davenport Fruit & Produce COM
pany, the blackmail artist who was
foiled Wednesday night is suppose
ed to have changed his tactics and
to- have adopted another means OF
sharing in Mr.. Coins wealth. He
is believed to have been the same
person who some time during Fri
day night broke into the Office OF
the latter company at POI East Sec
ond street.
Mr.. Coins bank book, also his
check book. containing many blank
forms, were taken, as also a check
in the sum of $3.50 issued by Simon
Lewis of Rock Island and made
payable to Mr. Coin. In addition
several dollars worth of postage
stamps were taken.
Mr.. Coin on Saturday notified all
the Davenport banks of the stolen
check forms, as also the police.
Entrance was gained to the es-
tablishment through rear window.
Possibly the blackhanders expect
ed to find $1,000 waiting for them
here, but if so they were sorely dis
appointed. All l have for them is
some of these" said Mr. Coin as
he, lifted a handful of cartridges
from his pocket and handled them
affectionately.

amount subscribed, counting the
weekly payroll as 100. increased
from ZIG to 318 per cent. The per-
centage of subscribers of total num-
Der of employees increased from 81
per cent to IS. Some plants show
much more striking increases. As
demonstrating the popularity of the
system, and its real aid to the gov
eminent, may be quoted such in
creases in percentage of subscrib-
ers as 48 per cent to 100 per cent
in one plant and "a per cent to
100 per cent in another"
A large number of industries are
now studying the plan and, accord
ing to Mr.. Kimball, it is expected
that new extensions OF the system
will result in material influence,
not only in the next loan campaign,
but in developing an organized
thrift machine in this country.

The fact that two of Davenport's

siCians and have been assembled

TAKES over ALL
5TH LOAN WORK
Employers of Labor Relieved Of
Duties Involved in Handling
Drive Under New Plan.

Plans for relieving employers Of
the labor involved in the work OF
handling employees subscriptions to
the fifth Liberty loan has been com
pleted, according to an announce
ment by ingalls, Kimball, president
Of the National Thrift Bond corpor-
alton. The system, which was sue
cessfully installed during the last
loan period in a number of indus
| trial plants throughout the country,
including some of the largest, will
be extended before the next loan.
The results of the plan, as estab-
lished in such plants as those of
the General Electric company. the
Union Carbide company, the Knox
Motors corporation, the National
Carbon company, and others, are:
Tho elimination of all individual
accounting; the prevention of mis-
understanding and disputes with
employees, thus increasing general
satisfaction; automatic settling OF
accounts with departing employees;
great reduction in number of can
cellations, that the system also re-
suits in an increase in subscnp-
lions is pointed out as an even more
important advantage of the system.
In explaining how this system is
being used to help the government
float the loans in industrial centers,
Mr.. Kimball emphasized the signifi-
cant point that the system estab-
lished a permanent thrift machine
not inherent in the government
plans. The thrift bond system
therefore provides a smooth, Or
ganized mechanism for national
thrift such as that being advocated
by many government officials, in
Guiding former Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, the new secre-
tary, Carter Glass, and officers of
the federal reserve system, as well
as prominent financial and indus
trial leaders such as Paul NJ. War
burg, Henry R. ~Towne, William
Hamlin Childs and Clarence H.
Kelsey. AS Mr.. Kimball points out:
The next loan will be the last
one in which employers can take
advantage of government financing
to encourage thrift among their
employees, with the consequent
benefits of labor stability, now be-
ing urged as so vital by the ma
tons leaders. The present time
therefore represents a real crisis in
the thrift movement and is the most
opportune for installing a perman-
ent machine for thrift in every in
dustrial community"
The system consists of encourag-
ing employees, through personal
craftsmanship, to have certain
amount of the salary or wages re-
placed by thrift receipts which are
exchanged for thrift bonds. The
plan is unique in that it provides
for automatic savings. Subscrip-
lions to previous loans are taken
over under the system and diff
culties eliminated.
I'm a study of twenty large plants
using the system" says Mr.. Kim
ball, comparing the third and
fourth loans, between which the
system was installed, the average
per capita subscription increased
from S62.3S TO $3.50. The total
