TWO HOSPITALS
FOR TUBERCULAR
SOLDIERS, PLAN

The United States government
proposes to establish two hospitals
in Illinois for the care and treat
ment of tuberculosis soldiers and
sailors, according to an announce
ment tonight by the Illinois Tu-
berculosis association.
The old marine hospital at Cairo
and part of the new Speedway hos
pital at Chicago are to be used for
this purpose, according to COM
munication which the association
has just received from the United
States public health service. The
marine hospital at Cairo has been
in disuse for a number of years but
steps are to be taken in the near
future to fit it up as a tuberculosis
SanitOrium for men discharged
froms government service because
of tuberculosis.
Since the beginning of the war
the Illinois tuberculosis association
has been active, in conjunction with
the American Red Cross and the
ILLINOIS state department of public
health, in providing medical and
nursing care for returned tubercu-
losis soldiers. The association is
now receiving from the office of the
provost marshal the names of Hi
nois men rejected by the draft
boards because OF tuberculosis. 1t
is expected that the number of these
cases in Illinois will exceed 5000 as
compared with 1,5OO men who sue
ceeded in passing the draft boards

.. W. Quackenbush Says Interurban
Leases Gisiesburg & Western
Railroad.
PRESS REPORT is REVERSE
Springfield Dispatch States Utilities
Commission Allowed Opposite
Petition.

G. ". Quackenbush of Rock Is
land, general manager of the Rock
Island Southern interurban, in a
statement made in Galesburg yester-
lay, declared that the Southern had
obtained lease Of the Galesburg ald
Western railroad for the Galesburg-
Monmouth branch Of its line.
The press report of late Thurs
lay afternoon contained the infor-
nation that the public utilities com
mission had allowed the lease OF the
tracks and equipment of the Rock
Island Southern Railway company
TO the Galesburg and Western rail-
troad.
Mr.. Quackenbush later stated that
he report was O. K. but the state
ment of it was reversed. The lease
is from the Galesburg and Western
railroad Company to the Rock Is
land Southern Railway company,
including all tracks, rolling stock,
equipment and appearances be
longing to the road. In turn the
railway VIII operate both lines as a
system
the Galesburg and Western Rail
road company was formerly the
ROCK Island Southern Railroad
company, operating cars and. own
ing the equipment from Galesburg
10 Monmouth. The Rock Island
Southern Railway company was the
company operating from Monmouth
to Rock Island. In order not to con-
fuse the names and the different
companies the name of the railroad
company was changed recently to
the Galesburg and Western rail-
road.
Continuing on his statement Mr..
Quackenbush said, THE purpose of
>the lease will be to consolidate OPP
Grafton which, in turn, will mean
higher degree of operating efficiency
at a minimum cost.
1t will likewise have the effect of
centralizing operating traffic as
well as accounting. bringing all de-
partments under one head instead
as heretofore separate and will
eliminate possible delays in hand
ling passengers as between the
south and north line and eventually
will if plans materialiZe bring both
lines under one system of cleo
IRRIGATION with the possible advan-
tage of running cars from Gales
burg to Rock Island without change
at Monmouth"
Mr.. Quackenbush further testified
that after today the old line and
the leased line would be known IN
der the name of the Rock Island
Southern Railway System. He add
ed that no change would be made
in the peTsonuel of the operating
COMPANY The officials Of the old
company Will be the officials of the
new system.
What disposition will be made of
the stockholders is not yet known.
However. the bondhOldars under the

MISSING GIRLS
BODY IS FOUND
Weeks Search Ended by Discovery
OF Nearly Nude Form of
StenOgrapher in Lake.

Manitowoc. Wis, March 22.-Aft-
er week of undated search, fol-
lowing the finding of her hat on the
shore of Manitowoc harbor. the
body of Viola DeClearq, pretty Mil
Waukee stenographer, was found
floating on the shore of the Mani
towoc harbor early yesterday morn
ing. The body was found 20 feet
from where the hat was discovered
last week.
Her body was almost entirely de-
void of clothing. Her condition is
attributed to the rush of the wa
ters from the propellers of the car
ferries which ply to and from the
pier, from which she is supposed to
Lave ended her life.
The search had almost been aban-
doned, on the theory that the girl
had not carried out her program
OF self-destruction. of which she in
formed her mother in a letter a
week ago yesterday.
Miss DeClerq, with her mother
and sister. moved to Milwaukee
from ManitoWoc about a month
ago
Her death was the elimination of
motor party with two men who
called at her place of employment
shortly before closing hours on
March u. She was seen to leave
the Office in a big machine with the
two men and was not heard from
again till her mother received a let

which Miss DeClearq informed her
of her determination to end her

THEY SEEK ONLY
THAT WHICH YOU
WOULD DISCARD

For four years the American PEG
pie have given freely in answer 10
every plea. They have given to re-
lieve suffering in every corner OF
the world--and to finance a great
war. They are little weary of Civ
ing. But a rlea comes now which
involves very little sacrifice-in
fact, none at all--and which means
life to thousands of people-paople
who have suffered unbelievable
hardships for four long years and
who are still s.iier.ng.
All that is liked IS clothing
which the American people would
never wear again-the winter gar
ments which are being discarded,
the old shoes which are not good
enough to be repaired. the old coats
and dresses and suits, the under
wear which would go into the rag
bag because it is beginning to wear
a little, the dresses and petticoats
and shoes and suits which the chill
dren have outgrown. These cast
off garments, which would mean al
most 4 negligible sum from the old
clothes man or supply of dust
cloths. can prevent The most
poignant suffering overseas.
The refugees in northern France,
Belgium. Italy. Greece, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Rouman1a,
Czecho- Slovakia. Palestine and Pol
and are in rags. Many of them are
wearing the same garments they
had on them when they were driven
from their homes four years ago.
The American Red Cross pro-
poses to send all the clothing gath
cred up in the present old clothes
drive direct TO the suffering people
of Europe.
1t is difficult to conceive of the
extent of the suffering. Statistics
like the following express so little
and yet they are practically all that
the relief workers in the devastated
regions have time to send. For IN
stance they write that the men
along the Marine are wearing bur
lap sacks for shirts and the chill
dren are using flour sacks for
pants. In one month $50 people in
one town in the Aisne district ap-
piled for clothing to the Red Cross
station. In Laon. city about which
important and desperate struggles
ragged for four years, 300 families
including 1900 people were aided
with distribution of clothing in a
few weeks.
In Voges a badly destroyed vii
lage a few miles from Laon, thirty
refugees returned directly after the
armistice, just about the time win
ter set it. A few bags, three weel-
barrows, two baby carriages ana a
quantity of sugar beets was the sum
total ftheir possessions. They sat
about fires, which were fed by the
wrecked furniture and timbers of
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-03-22

their homes, eating the beets. They
were unable to venture far from
the glow of the fires because of lack
of proper clothing.
Similar conditions are to be
found in all the towns in the path
of the German devastation. If life
is to be maintained among the
refugees, clothing must be rushed
at once. Not only to France, but to
Belgium, too. And to Italy, Greece,
Albania, CZecho-Slovakia, Rou-
