HISTORY MUST BE

London, Tuesday, Jan. = Via
Montreal) - History must be
taught in an entirely new way"
said Graham WallaS, professor of
political science at the University
Of London, speaking here today at
a conference of the education as
soCiation. He said that an advis-
DRY committee of London university
has found it impossible to teach
special subjects in history, if at
tention is concentrated solely upon
the British empire
The world is now so closely knit
together that students must deal
with the whole earth" he said.
History must be divided into eco
nomic and political branches. as
economic facts are necessary to an
understanding Of political develop
mentS of the times. The principle
of nationality. which has had evil,
as well as good effects. and which
has shattered the world. and may
even shatter the peace conference.

Proof of this is given by Captain
A V. Swedberg of Battery f. One
Hundred Twenty-third field artil-
lery in a letter written to Waldo's
mother, Mrs. G. F. Mckinley of Sill

dent a short time ago and is at
present getting along very well in
hospital a short distance from

the battery to have one man go to
the hospital every day to see Wal
do and if there is anything he needs
TO see that he gets it. Your son

WHAT MOLINE CAN
DO TO GIVE BOYS
WHO SERVED JOBS

Commissioner G. e. Erickson,
head of the department of streets
and public improvements, is of the
belief that Moline can furnish all
returning soldiers with employ
ment if the present city admins
tration would launch more new i'm
provement work
The present city commission is
hesitating in authorizing improve
ments. believing that the new alder
men to be elected in April, may
have different plans. The Twenty
fifth street paving job instructed
started by the commission yester-
day, is one of the first projects that
will aid in giving returning boys
work.
Commissioner Erickson has pre-
pared the following list of things
that Moline can and should do this
year:
Rip up practically all tile side
walks and replace them with &C.
ment
Repave Fifteenth street
Repave Twentieth and Twenty
third streets.
Pave Forty-eighth street from
Fifth avenue to the railroad.
Pave Twenty-seventh street from
Fifteenth to Twenty-third avenues.

RIOTING OCCURS
DURING STRIKES
IN BUENOS AIRES

BucnOs Aires. Jan. AT least
five persons were killed and more
than a score wounded during a
fight between police and strikers
at the Vaesa Vasena Iron works on
the outskirts of this city last ev-
ening. 1t is expected that a gen
eral strike of harbor workers will
be declared tomorrow because OF
the refusal of ship owners to meet
the demands made by the men three
weeks ago. The project Of the port
assembled troops tonight to prevent
disorder in case a strike is called.
1t is reported that in addition to
the threatened strike in the harbOr
there is a probability of a general
strike by all trades unions in the
near future. Various Industries,
including the packing houses. are
said to have refused to meet the
demands of the workmen.

MANY WOULD Be
MOLINES MAYOR
Politicians Whispering Names of
Soldiers and Business Men
As Chief Executive.

With but two more months until
the city election primaries are
held. groups can be seen standing
on corners, in the city hall corri-
doris and in business houses, each
discussing who will be the next
mayor of Moline.
NO candidate has announced that
he Will be in the race, and in fact,
none will admit that he is consid-
ering it. The final election is to be
held in April, at which time comes
the return of the aldermanic form
Of government.
In the political circles found in
every part of the city, is whispered
the names of two army men as
probable candidates for the chief
executive of the city. Names of
Lieutenant Charles p. Skinner, now
stationed at Rock Island arsenal,
and Captain Benjamin s. Bell. who
resigned as probate judge to enter
the service, are heard in these con-
verSations Lieutenant Skinner
was at one time mayor of Moline.
Names of business men are re-
peatedly mentioned as mayoralty
candidates. Among those Of the
business classification are R B.
Lourie, executive member of the
Red Cross and general manager of
the Deere and Mansur company:
G. a. Stephens. recently resigned
president of the Moline Pillow COM
pany; y. c. Barber, member Of Lib
erty loan campaigns committee and
western representative of the
Willys-Overland company; and
Frank Guessing. purchasing agent
for the John Deere Wagon company
and who has served on the Moline
public hospital board.
Other circles speak the name of
Frank GustafsOn, police magistrate,
as the man who will be the next
Plow City mayor. Defeat of the
commission form of government
last December, is probably the
cause of the magistrates name be-
ing mentioned Andrew Olson,
who was elected mayor of Moline
three times, is being suggested as
the next mayor and again. the
name of Clarence S. Trevor. pres
ent mayor. who was appointed to
fill the unexpired term of NJ. r.
Carlson. now state senator. takes
the rounds as successor to himself
Still no one knows who will run
in the race. Who will be Moline's
next mayor?

"Rock-a-Bye Baby"
Song Slated to Be
Ousted as Pro-Hun

Des Moines, Jan. S.-Thera's
nothing about that old lullaby,
"ROCk-a-Bye Baby" to suggest war
and carnage, is there?
Yet the Soldiers Fathers league
of Des MOines has placed this song
in a list of music condemned be
cause it IS of German origin. Moth
ers and kindergaUtens have sung
this lullaby for years, and haven't
thought they were being pro-Ger-
man as they sang. But this song
is an old German folk-song, and
therefore is taboo.
The Soldiers Fathers league is
preparing a list of songs, found in
Des MOinas school books, which
are of German origin. The league
will recommend at the next meet
ing of the school board that all
these songs b. removed from
school hooks and destroyed.

les TO disconnect the two mains,
factory and city, and a double check

story disclosed by the Moline pO-

over three weeks ago. but on hopes
that Mr.. Burns would return, Chief

rent a furnished home. applied and
was given the Smith home for rem
tai
The couple, apparently, was hon
est; they dressed well and seemed
well educated NeighbOrs did not
suspicion the couple, although they
believed things looked rather IN

neyed to Rock Island and going To
the second hand store told MI vii
hanson he was moving the first Of
the year and that he would like to
sell his furniture The next day
Williamson came over TO the Burns
rented home and fixed a price on
the furniture.
The deal was closed. A price
was made and $50 was paid One
more day, then Burns appeared be
fore Williamson and this time said
that his wife believed they should
niture and a larger sum should "
paid down. Williamson asked Burns
to bring his wife down. He did.
and they obtained $50 more from
the second hand man. Mrs. Burns
signed the receipts.
That evening Burns reappeared
and purchased some jewelry. He
paid the bill with two checks
amounting TO S23 After This no
more was seen or heard of the
Burns family.
Feeling that something was
wrong. Williamson investigated.
and going to the house In Moline,
found that the Burns family had
moved, no one knew where, that
valuable silverware had been
stolen. and that they were crooks.
That IS the end Of the storv.
Some neighbors are wont to believe
that the residence was made the
headquarters OF a band OF swind-
