COURSE OF THE WAR

SUI Pr lSe anu WdS INC ITSI tlluG mat
poison gas had ever been used.
Those men, the Canadians, and
those Frenchmen were very brave,
and held their places although
they were overcome by gas, and to
be overcome by gas is very terri
BILE thing. Men by the thousands
suffered that terrible suffering that
is worse than most any other kind
of suffering and thousands died.
Still they did not give up.
All that time they had no food,
too, for twenty-four hours, and
even then they had nothing but
bread and cheese. After you had
gone without food for a day or at
least when you get very hungry,
don't you want something more
than bread and cheese. But then
that looked mighty good to them.
On April "a came another great
gas attack. Great clouds of gas
were sent toward the Allies lines,
and they crossed No Mans Land in
two minutes. Still the Allies held
their lines.
We are not surprised that Cana
da thrills with pride when she
thinks of the way her sons fought
during that terrible week. We are
proud too, and admire them very
much as we'll as the Frenchmen
that stood this first gas attack, for
we like to admire courage where
ever it is.
OF course a great many funny
things happened in this battle too
One time when the Allied forces
were leaving some trenches that
had just been newly built, one man
especially hated to leave those
nice, new trenches. And SO what
do you suppose he did? He took a
broom and with very solemn
face, he went to work and swept
and cleaned his dugout just before
he left it.
This battle had a very important
effect. 1t was a sign of democracy,
because so many different kinds of
men fought and suffered together.
1t convinced the Allies of the SUI
periority of their principles of fight
ing. Ypres filled the soldiers of the
Allies with seriousness and deter
mination to conquer the forces
of badness and cruelty in the
world.
But today the little town of
Ypres is just shell with its beau
tiful buildings and its little homes
all wrecked and ruined. Some one
who went into Ypres before that
battle was quite finished, told of
the sad beauty of that little place
The lilacs were in bloom and the
hawthorn and the trees, though
crippled by the shell fire, were get
ting green; the grass was green
too. Over in one corner a careful
starting was building nest on the
broken pinnacle of an old building.
And everything was there which
we think would make place seem
beautiful, that is everything except
people, and that made all the differ
ence in the world. This place was
very, very quiet and so it was not
attractive. 1t was desolate. 1t
was lonely, and SO a person going
there could not call it beautiful.

In the Days News

Lord Halsbury, who today enters
upon his 95th year, is a former
lord high chancellor of Great Brit
ain and now the oldest member of
the peerage. In spite of his great
age he is wonderfully vigorous, and
he still INDUCES in long walks,
while his mind is as keenIy active
as ever. Lord Halsbury comes of
a legal family and there never was
any doubt in the choosing of his
profession. He was first called to
the bar in 1850, and for a time at
least showed little promise of his
future greatness. Fifteen years
after his call he took silk, and his
first great success was his defence
of Governor Eyre Of Jamaica for
alleged cruelty during a rebellion.
alter, he appeared for Arthur Or
ton in the famous TichboFne trial,
when for his earnest and emotional
pleading he earned the nickname Of
the weeping counsel" At the age
of SO Lord Halsbury became soIic-
itor general, and in 1895 he was
made lord chancellor.

COUNTY SOCIETY
LOANED OK SHOES
AND INDIAN PIPE

Two new exhibits have been
added to the collection of the Rock
Island County Historical society,
which it displays in the court house
rotunda. They are a pair of OK
shoes and an Indian pipe, both old
relics.
The shoes were loaned by Guy
Jameson, and were once worn by
oxen owned and driven by his
son Of South Moline township. They
are more than so years old. and
were dug up on the Jameson
place only a short time ago. The
pipe is a striking piece of Indian
workmanship. About IS years ago
it came into the possession of the
grandfather of Harry @. Lewis, 512
Sixteenth street, and at that time
the pipe had been used for a long
time by an old Indian. When Mr.
Lewis settled here he laid the pipe
aside-on rafter in the attic of
his home-and here it was found
by Harry G. Lewis a short time ago
He had 1t cleaned up, and allowed
the society to put it on exhibition.
Today no traces of its long use
can be found on its smooth red
clay bowl or long white hickory
stem.
The society is constantly seek
ing more exhibits to add to it's
court house collection. Persons
having any relics of early days can
confer a great favor by leaving
them in the safe keeping of the
custodian, William ]. H. Kurr, at
the court house.

HOUSESOWNED
BY GOVERNMENT
GO THIS MONTH
Present Tenants VII Be Given
First Choice at Easy Rates by
Housing Corporation.

Houses owned by the United
States Housing corporation in the
tri-citfe5 are to be sold by the
middle of this month or shortly
after. The board of appraisal to
determine their value. is nearly
complete and will soon start to
work A feature Of the govern
ment's selling program is the
care shown in giving persons at
present residing in the house every
possible opportunity to purchase
their homes before they are put on
the open market.
In connection with the sale Of
the government houses, o. G. Sher-
man, the representative of the
United States Housing corporation,
states that the tenants will be
given the first opportunity to pur-
chase and that the price and terms
to tenants will be such as to make
it possible for every one to secure
one of the houses.
All of the government leases pro-
vide for cancellation on 30 days
notice on the part of the landlord
or the tenant, but It is recognized
that It will be a hardship for many
of the tenants to move so soon
after having moved into the houses
and that will be taken into consid-
Grafton, the cash and monthly pay
ments on purchase being made SO
low to tenants that they can be-
come purchasers and owners in
stead OF being obliged to find new
quarters elsewhere.
Getting Quick Action.
The board of survey, to deter
mine upon the prices, is being or
gained, and It is expected that the
prices for all of the houses will be
fixed by the board and approved
by the secretary of labor by the
middle of this month and the
houses sold within a short time
after that date.
In fixing the prices on the
houses, the board of survey will
rot take into consideration the
coat, recognizing the fact that the
houses were built under pressure
and at war time prices. The eX-
cess cost Of the houses by reason
Of war time construction will be
deducted from the prices Of the
houses.
