To The Avalanche:
Our war with kaiser flu.
We all rejoice that our war with
Germany is over. But we are now
engaged in still greater warfare, a
greater foe to mankind. than ever
Germany dared to be. Influenza has
invaded our coast and is spreading
death and desolation abroad, in our
own fair country He is hurting his
poisonous gasses in the faces of our
people, and dropping his death deal
ing bombs broadcast over our fair
southland. Men women and children
are falling victims every day and
countless thousands are made to
mourn and suffer. He is an invisible
foe and comes upon US like a thief
in the night" and vampire like" fans
us while he steals our life away. He
is no respector Of persons and takes
his toll of the young as well as the
old He takes great delight in fas-
tening his deathly clutches upon the
very strongest Of our young manhood
and holding on with bull dog" tena-
city until he is victorious. He invad-
IS our homes and takes the father and
SOLE provider away He lays his cold
iron-hand upon the mother and leaves
innocent children to suffer He very
often annihilates whole families and
leaves no one to tell the tale have

near neighbor whom have known

was all stricken about the same time

deny RUMOR OF
| REv.J. OSBORNE
Report Involving Baptist Pastor
and East Moline Woman Found
False by Church.

Absolute denial that there is an
element of truth in the report cir
culated in East Moline for the last
several weeks in regard to Rev.
]. M. Osborne, pastor of the First
Baptist church of that city, was
made at a meeting of the church
board held last evening.
Th@,rumor appears to involve an
East Moline woman. 1t also seemed
to be the opinion of East Moliners
that Rev. MIR. Osborne was not
parted from his wife, who resides
in Kentucky.
Rev. Mr.. Osborne was vindicated
by the church board in a public
statement issued today. The state
ment which is self-explanatory oil
the rumor current in East Moline,
is:
1--WE the undersigned, who con-
stitute the official board of the East
Moline Baptist church, submit the
following:
1--WE have thoroughly and impair
TALLY investigated the slanderous
report circulated relative to the
pastor, Rev. ]. NJ. Osborne and
found them absolutely false. These
reports had their origin and life
through unreliable sources. We
have also investigated the question
of his divorce and find that he was
absolutely justified in obtaining
same and also find that the divorce
was secured in Judge Muncey's
court at Confluence, KY, on the
18th of March, 1918.
