CAR EXTENSION
GRANTED SOON
Pillow City Residents to Have tx,
tension of Car Route On Fourth
Avenue Line.

City Attorney James Johnston
is preparing a petition to the Illi-
nois public utilities commission
asking that the Fourth avenue car
line on Twenty-seVenth street be
extended from Fifteenth avenue to
Twenty-third avenue.
Mr.. Johnston is waiting for a
copy of the decision of the commits
sion made a year ago. The commits
sion at that time found that the ex-
tension should be postponed until
future time because of the short
age of material. Moline residents
shared the difficulties without a
complaint then.
Mr.. Johnston is taking his steps
through the instructions from the
council, the aldermen at a recent
meeting ordering that immediate
action be taken on the extension.
Decision Year Ago.
The decision of the utilities COM
mission was made a year ago, last
July to be exact, following several
public hearings on the PROPOSE
ton. J. G. Huntoon, general man
ager of the Tri-City Railway COM
pany, admitted at one of these
hearings that he had promised the
city that the extension would be
made.

MOLINE TO PLANT
TREES IN MEMORY
OF ARMY'S DEEDS

Moline is planning through the
American Forestry association to
plant memorial trees, not only to
honor the boys who gave their
lives in the great war but also to
commemorate the deeds of those
who have returned with laurels
won at Chateau-Thierry, Verdun,
st. Mihiel and the Argonne. Mo-
line schools, civic organizations
and all other societies which may
be interested have received an
eight-page pamphlet from the for
estry association urging tree-plant-
ing.
Charles Lathrop Pack, president
of the body, has sent out an article
stating that since the armistice
has been signed many of the cities
and towns throughout the country
have been following this idea and
he points out that many of these
will have utilitarian value in and
Nof themselves; but their greatest
value from an economic point of
view is likely to be the interest
which they arouse in practical for
estry, in tree conservation and in
encouraging a more thorough and
nationwide study of timber re-
sources"
The American Forestry associa-
ton, Washington, D. c., has issued
for free circulation, a booklet upon
selection of trees. with suggestions
as to the specie found most desir-
able for different localities and
brief information about planting
and care, as well as a few poems
appropriate to tree dedication.

Sam Moscowitz, proprietor OF
this Palace restaurant, Fourth ave-
nue. and Fourteenth street, Moline,
was bound over to the grand jury

the waitress refused him saying,
I'VE do not cater to colored folks. -
Moscowitz stated that he was not
IN the place of business Saturday
night but his waitress told him a
story that conceded with the Sulli-
van testimony.
1T is time this thing was stop
ped" said Justice Pierce These
boys deserve every bit as much
as the men who
Come here from Europe. They are
born in this country and deserve
human treatment"
"I always wait on them" said
Moscowitz. but my girls say they
won't work for me if they have to
wait on colored people. What can
1 do?"
The restaurant man said there is
a sign in his place which states
ne will cater to white people only.

him from his charge but the mag
istrate only said that that would
make it all the worse.
C. E. Dietz, who appeared for
Sullivan, declared that society is
injured every time a negro is pro-
tected in the exercise of lawful
rights.

URGES LEAGUE OF
NATIONS LOAN TO
FINANCE EUROPE

Berlin, Sunday, June Shy the
Associated Press, Germany)-Dr.
Bernhard Dernburg, minister OF
finance, advocates in the course OF
an interview printed in the Tage-
blatt, a league of nations loan to
finance nations seeking to recover
their economic equilibrium
Dr. Dernburg suggests that
loans as are granted former war
ring countries might be guaranteed
by taxes or other real pledges as
security, and, arguing that the cir
reconcilliable demands" of the en-
tente are largely due to the pre-
occupation of France over her
grave financial position" considers
that if peace is based upon the
league of nations principle, there
must be international solidarity in
financial as we'll as political fields"
THE chief difficulty of the I'M
bearable financial clauses of the
peace terms would thus be solved
he says. THE speedy reconstruc-
ton of France would be assured
and Germany would get steady
work and a possibility of fulfilling
her obligation"

General Frederick A J. Won Bern
hardi, the military writer, under

He says of the kaiser:
ITO the last moment he believed
