For the first time in Rock Island
county-the seat of woodcraft-an
opportunity was afforded the gen

Watch Tower to witness d
Modern Woodmen adoption cere-
mony as adapted for presentation
in the open air.
It was exemplified by a skilled
team Of officers, assisted by the
champion drill team Of America,
who, in the playful spirit for which
such ceremonies are famed, went
through the evolutions and mysti-
cisms necessary to induct candi-
date into the organization.
The class adoption ceremony
might be said to have been the
chief feature of the day. The initia-
tions imposed upon a dozen tremb-
ling victims sent the large audience
into spasms Of merriment, although

stream of water into the face of
the would-be shooter when the trig-

fully upon three in succession, and
another man was inflicted with the
punishment of naughty childhood
by paddle in the hands of a
guardsman, whenever the candi-
date, b1indfoIded, stopped to pick
up an elusive hat.
The Initiation had its spectacular
features, also, in the intricate
marching and good form observed
in straight formations by the two

Over Frontier Must Cease.

fore the partitions Of 17T2 and 1875,
including the province and town of
Posen and the town of Thorn, and TO
have free access to the sea by way
of Danzig, protected by strip of
territory which would render the
means of communication secure.
DR. Benes. the Czechoslovak dele
gate. explained the CZechoslovak
point of view and more especially the
incidents which led to an armed en-
counter betw cen the Czechoslovaks
and Polish forces on the frontier of
Silesia and Bohemia. He said that
an agreement was concluded on No
vember 5, 1918, between the Poles and
Cze cheslovaks for the provisional es-
tablishment of a frontier line be-
tween the two countries. On January
"A last Czechoslovaks entered the
Posen district and these were follow
ed by Polish contingents.
The conference committee notified
the delegates that it would be neces-
sary to put an end to such acts, and
that for period the zone in dispute
should he occupied by the allies. To
this the delegates os both sides
agreed.
The question of the definitive pos

Poindexter Announces
Himself a Republican
Presidential Candidate

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator
Miles Poindexter of Washington, i'll
a statement today to the people OF
the United States, announced his
candidacy for the republican nomi-
nation for president and presented a
platform of policies and principles
which he will advocate in his cam
paign.
The Washington senator in his
statement of policy denourices
threats of labor leaders to tie UP the
railroads as government by terror
for special class, and declares that
the government must be made SUI
preme to both capital and labor
though insisting that the just claims
Of labor should be recognized.
Communism, Senator Poindexter
declared, is inconsistent with the
vested rights of the laborer to his
wages. Treating of international
matters, the platform remarks that
the process of making supreme
sacrifice of America and of Joining
our fortunes with the fortunes OF
men everywhere should be stopped.
In making his statement of prin-
ciples, Senator Poindexter. who is
the first publicly announced candi-
date for the republican nomination
asserted that his announcement OF
policy makes it necessary for the re-
publican national convention in 1920
to stand by his platform, should he
be chosen as the party's standard
bearer.

TURKISH WOMEN REMOVE
Wells FOR DENTISTS.

Washington, Oct. 2o.-Further ev-
idence that the women of the near
east are throwing off the shackles OF
the Mohammedan customs of cen
turies comes in news that these
women now consent to removing
their wells while having their teeth
treated.
When five American Red Cross
dentists entered Macedonia, says a
report from Monastir, they found
the wife of Mussulman would &c
on with the torture of toothache
rather than expose her features t.
the sight of any man other than hei
husband.
A similar prejurice was encoun,
tered when the American relief
workers sought to enlist the aid o.
native girls to assist in the hospital
Gradually, under the example OF the
American women in the Red Cross
units, the eastern ideas that have
bound down the women have beer
worn away in many places.
