Damascus Commandery Holds En-
thusiastic Get Together Meet
ing Last Evening with
Banquet.
LONG IMPORTANT HERE
Many Men of Real Prominence in keo-
kuk History Have Been on Its
Roll of Members, Which
is Increasing.

Damascus commandery, Knights
Templar, is returning to its old time
prestige here in Keokuk and had a
big get-together meeting last even
ing.
1t began with supper at the Y.
W. C. A. cafeteria, and after the cof-
fee number of good speeches were
made, and a thoroughly enjoyable
hour or two was spent in enthusiast
tic conference.
The POSTMASTER was F. j. Venning,
eminent commander. The speakers
were past eminent commanders and
other sir knights. They included
John R. Carpenter, H. G. Brown and
C. J. Eckland, who once headed the
Keokuk commandery, and William
Sinton, Rev. M. E. Nethercut of Trim
ity Methodist church, and j. G.
Thomas, all Of whom made good

For many years, Damascus COM

DIXIE OWNERS
TO SECURE COSTS
Court Holds That Bond for Costs
viii Be Required In the
Second Case to Be
Tried,

If the second case for damages for
the loss of the tugboat Dixie is to be
tried in the district court the plain
tiff must file bond of 500 to secure
the costs first, Judge Hamilton has
ruled.
The plaintiff was first John w.
Watson, of Keokuk, but after he lost
the first case for other damages for
the same sinking of the boat, he had
the boats owners at the time she
sank, Steiner brothers, substituted
as plaintiff in the second case.
The Mississippi River Power com
pany, the defendant, insisted that
the costs of the litigation, payable
by the losing party, should be secured
and won this point in the court this

old pill and pull a distraught man
ager out of an extremely embarrass-
ing situation. Complications will
arise, as a matter of course, for
where one club may draw several
top notch players from the ranks Of
the army at time when good talent
is badly needed, other clubs, less for
tunate, will be obliged to tag along
until the arrival of the later trans
ports bringing the stars back to
their native soil.

Six in the role of coach and asso-
ciate manager, will be tower of
strength to the Giants and McGraw
has Indicated his intention of placing
the famous pitcher in a still better
position before many months have
passed. The Giant leader is anxious
to devote more of his time to the
business interests of his club and
when he decides to step down Matty

Interest in the national pastime is
particularly keen this year, and the
baseball managers and owners have
predicted a record-breaking season.

MOTION PICTURE PLANS
City Down the River Has New Man.
ager of Chamber of Commerce
Who Believes In Publ
city Like Press Agent.

o, Skinnay! Come here quick! See
what Quincy's goin' to have! Enut
movies to bring hunderd thousan'
people there to live.
If plans that have been in the max
ing for months turn out as 1t Is eX-
pected they will, says the Quincy
Wing, S25,000,000 will be spent there
by a motion picture company and the
city will jump to 100000 population.
For a half a century, Quincy has
been looking for something to dull
her grief at the fame Of keokuk's
water power, and now she thinks she
has found it. 1t sounds rather nebulous
and is a pretty big yarn. but there is
no telling about such things.
Not only Quincy, but the state OF
Illinois and the whole Mississippi val
ley will be benefited by this movie
movement to Quincy, Manager Pier
son says, which certainly sounds like
q real, genuine experienced movie
picture man talking in large type.
The Official Announcer.
The Wing says it's new chamber of
commerce manager Is believer In
publicity, and proves it by printing an
interview with him on this new $4,000
600 scheme to bring 100000 people to-
town to live.
In the first place the man admitted"
that such men as Douglas Fairbanks,
D. w. Griffith, Thomas Ince, and such
women as Mary Pickford are the par
ties he has interested in the scheme.
Then he spoke thus:
1.-THE motion picture" said Mr.. Pier
son, SIS not only vehicle to afford /
amusement and pleasure, but more
and more we are seeing 1t brought in
to practical use, into use as means
of educating the people, of carrying
messages by pictures that words have
failed to convey. l wish it We're pos
sible to give you all that is in my
mind, to tell of the wonderful things
in store for Quincy and for the entire
valley If our plans materialize.
Soon to Make Public.
Zone unfamiliar with the details
might be inclined to be skeptical if
should talk freely now, provided my
lips were not sealed by business cour-
tesy and honor 1t has been 10 small
task to keep from the public the big
things that have been happening here
right under our very noses and at
other cities north and south of Us on
the river, Before long the news will
come out and Quincy and a number
of other cities will reap wonderful
benefits. Naturally l am for Quincy
first, Illinois next and certainly for
the great valley of the Mississippi.
We will bend every effort to have
Quincy secure her share Of whatever
is brought about and
can say that even now we can take
considerable satisfaction in the fact
that we have brought some of the
biggest people in the motion picture
business here to our own city Of
Quincy and even this can result in
much good"
If Keolzuk had a man like that for
town booster-Ohi nothing.

In German Prisons
Captain Cilliland's Story of Suf-
fering and Final Escape

MY GERMAN PRISONS. AND MY FINAL
ESCAPE. BY Capain II. G. Gilliland
With an introduction by Ambassa dor
James w. Gerard 12mo DID, Kill 2b9
Houghton Mifflin Company.
There have been written numerous
narratives of experience in German war
prisons, chiefly intere resting and inform
ing in high degree. This latest addi-
tion to their number is of value as
cumulative evidence and also because
of it's exceptionally impartial and judi
cious tone. 1t is not written as special
pleading or as antiGerman propaganda
as if anything of that sort we're
needed-but is obviously a sincere at
tempt to state the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth The
author is as ready to tell of German
humanity as Of German savagery. The
reader never has any doubt Of that.
And that is precisely the quality which
makes the portrayal of the intrinsic
Hunnlsh spirit most utterly damning.
Mr. Gerard is quite right in his in
troductory commendation of the book.
1t is a narrative that should be read
by everybody who is tempted to forget
what Germany has done and to over
look the fact of her lack of repentance
for her crimes. There need be no vim
dictivehess there must be no forget
fulness.
