ISLANDS FOR u. S.

Panama, April S-The recent
rumor that the United States might
obtain title to the island OF st. An
dreWs and Old Providence in the
Caribbean off the Nicaraguan coast
had it's origin in the unofficially eA-
pressed wish of Hoffman Philip,
United States minister at Bogota
that the islands might be leased,
according to a statement made by
Santiago Herras, fiscal agent OF
Colombia, while visiting the islands
recently. He said that no such &C
ton has been taken as yet and that
nothing could be done until the Col
ombian congress revises the con-
stitution, which forbids the aliena-
ton of national possessions.

north-northeast of Colon, the Allan

Some time ago there was report
that the United States might secure
the islands from Colombia and
fortify them as defenses for the

number of small Gays, are quite fer

NEW ORGANIZATION HELPS
Veterans of the War for Democracy
Planned to Aid Men i'm Attain
ing Desired Ends.

1t is perhaps not very widely
known that men who have been
honorably discharged from the
army, navy and marine corps. and
who wish to continue their educa-
ton may, in almost every case, OBJ
tain scholarships from public insti-
tutions and, indeed, many private
ones.
Others. who have been disabled to
the extent of 10 per cent or more,
as shown by their medical certif-
Gates, may receive free tuition and
the same pay which they received
while in the service. This is par
ticGlarly desirable for men who
have found the need and know the
benefit of vocational training. Ser
vice discharges are taken in lieu of
high school credits in many col
leges.
Especial reference in the civil
service of the nation and the state
is given to ex-service men. Posi-
tons are not limited to the cIer-
ical branch by any means but in
clude, not only machinists. but
those education in the sciences and
skilled in the arts.
1t is by belonging to an organiza-
ton such as Veterans of the War
for Democracy that each ex-service
man can have his particular ques-
ton solved-no matter what it may
be. In cases where no relief has
been provided to cover a particular
case or class of cases, it is the pur-
pose of the local organization to OBJ
tain such relief for every one of its
members who may need it.
Meeting Tonight.
There will be a meeting at the
Commercial club, Davenport, to-
night at 8 O'Clock to organize post
No. 8 of the Veterans of the War for
Democracy. Every man who has
been in the service, whether officer,

abroad, should attend the meeting.

others as vicious lies.
His principal address was made
at the meeting of the Street Rail-

and he also addressed neighbor-

on Seventh avenue.

Mr.. Schriver closed his address
by telling his audience that stories
have been circulated that he has
only the support of the disreput-

passed relative to his character and
home life. He declared that the
mere telling OF these stories is
sufficient to brand them as untrue.

Installation of the lights will tend

New lights have been added to

who live on the bluffs have made no
little comment on the attractiveness
of the island with its new lighting

of the government houses will be
felt when those structures are IN
