PAYS RESPECTS
BOYS OVERSEAS
Lieutenant Brooks Gives Glowing
Tribute To Lads Who Gave
Their Lives in France.

To the boys who gave their lives
over there, to the "buddies" and to
the French people, Lieutenant Way
land c. Brooks, marine, paid trib-
ute in the address made last even
ing to three hundred listeners in
the East Moline Y. NJ c. A
Lieutenant Brooks, though
wounded four times and gassed
once, had little to say for himself.
He confined his entire speech to
stories of the lads who made the
supreme sacrifice. He appealed to
his audience to back the boys still
serving overseas and to stick to
them until every one is back, urg-
ing the people to buy Victory Lib
erty loans to the limit.
He held his audience spell-bound
as he told of the incidents of broth
erly love displayed by the Ameri-
can doughboys, marines and sail
ors, and the fighting men of the al
lied army.
Brooks told of the part the ma
rines played in finding the German
nests of machine guns and de-
clared that the hard thing was not
to find men to volunteer but to keep
chem back. He told how the boys
in the darkness threw hand gren-
AIDES, not knowing just when they
would get their call. In conclu-
sion the lieutenant urged 100 per
cent Americanism and ended with a
tribute to his pal who died on
the battlefields.
MIR. Hamilton, who travels with
Brooks, introduced the speaker and
told in part of his life during the
war and how the Heutenant's
brother was killed in action, his
place being taken by 16-year-old
brother. H. J. Banta, East Moline
Y. NJ. c. \. executive, also gave a
brief Introductory word.
Mrs. A. B. Ford and Archie Hood

vocal selections previous to the

NEW COUNCIL TO
DECIDE ON 25TH
STREET PROJECT

The Moline council of aldermen
to be elected next Tuesday Will
have the job of settling the contro-
versy between the city and the Me
Carthy Improvement company of
Davenport.
The present administration two
years ago drew up a contract with
the company providing for the paw
ing of Twenty-fifth street. Since
then the construction was delayed
twice on account of war conditions,
principally the shortage of labor
and material. When hostilities ceas-
ed, the commission asked the com
pany to start work. The firm fatty
refused on grounds that the cost
of work and material had greatly
increased. Recently the city informed
the company that the paving should
be started no later than May l. The
company replied that there was
nothing doing and that the job at
the contract price would mean a
loss of $4,000.
Twenty-fifth street is one of the
main arteries to the housing cor
poration site and government Of
ficials have taken some interest in
