Connecticut, who served abroad as Red

organized the Overseas Service League

The local Overseas Service League is
the first unit of Red Cross war work
ers TO organize, but prospects are that
the movement will become nationwide.
The organization is designed to cor
respond among Red Cross ex-workers
to the American Legion among ex-sol-
diers and sailors.
The local unit is recognized as an
auxiliary Of the New York County
Chapter. American Red Cross. 1t stands
ready to help the Red Cross at call,
:.,so to engage in any appropriate vel
tare work. The organization also is
designated to promote fellowship among
the members. .
The movement was launched by Mrs.
Lucy W. Phistef, of 344 West Eighty
eighth Street, who served as .directress
of the Officers Club~at Fort Bouguen,
Brest, and who directed the work in
New York of the overseas women dur
ing the recent Red Gross drive.
A preliminary meeting was held re-
Gently at Mrs. Phisters home, and on
last Monday, at the headquarters Of
the New York County Chapter of the
Red Cross, the formal organization was

Hill Chittehden, e-president; Miss
Elizabeth A. fCnlten. recording secre-
tary; Miss. Mary Bogart, corresponding

s:stant treasurer.
Miss Alice Lavinia Day, director of
auxiliaries for the New York County
Chapter, speaking for herself and Mrs.
w. X. Draper, vice-chairman of the
chapter. gave the official welcome to
and Endorsement of the new league.
Mrs. Phister, as president, was en-
powered to name committees, which
she expects to do this week.
The league starts with membership
of nearly three hundred and expects al
enrolment of about five hundred from
the three states in it's jurisdiction.
The next meeting is to be held at
the home of Mrs. Phister in the eve
ming of January Is. The league requests
that every woman in New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut who served the
Red Cross abroad during the war will,
if not able to attend this meeting, at

The first slave to arrive in this
country since the Turkish deportations
of 1876, when thousands of Arme-
MAN and Syrian women were driven
from their homes to Aleppo on the
edge of Mesopotamia, is Vartanousch
Kafagheusian, an Armenian girl, twen-
ty years old. She has just reached
New York, accompanied by Marshall
Ingalls, Mays, Near East relief worker.
of Topeka, Kan.
An Arab slave mark, tattooed in in
deisble ink at the base Of her right
hand thumb, furnished proof that the
girl had been slave of the Mahom-
esans. She was met at the dock by
her brother, John N. Karagheusian,
wealthy dealer in Oriental rugs, who
lives in Minneapolis. He said he had
not seen his sister in twelve years.
"She does not realize she is in New
York" he said yesterday; "she thinks
she is in heaven"
Theaters Fail to Cheer
Theaters. automobile rides, pretty
clothes and all the comfort and luxury
OF one Of the city's leading hotels have
failed to bring smile of pleasure to
the girls lips. The suffering she has
undergone has left her in a pitiful
state of nervousness. When she met
her brother she broke into fit OF
hysterical weeping, and since; despite
hia cfyor.s to amuse and entertain her
the we'd Of sadness remains.
She will have to be taught not only ia
smile, but to eat as well, for months Of
starvation, during which her only food
WAS roots and grass picked from the
roadside, have left her digestive organs
seriously impaired. and her diet consists
wholly Of liquid food with small bits Of
bread.
Mr. Mays, who brought Miss Kara.
ghfusian TO this country after she had
served some time as relief worker
following her rescue from the Turks
said her case was one of the mos

experiences chronicled at the American

MOLINE And 4
TRACT TO RIVER
Mayor Appoints Committees b
Promote Consolidation and
Annexation Plans.

Plans for the consolidation of Mo-
line and East Moline and for the
annexation of territory south to
Rock river, occupied the attention
of the Moline city council last eve
ming to the exclusion of almost all
other matters. Mayor C. P. Skinner
appointed committees to investigate
and promote the projects. These
are: Observation-Disclosures R. S.
Hosford. John Huey, o. F. Ander-
son, R. W. Entrikin and Charles
Elmer. Annexation-Frank Herbst,
Elmer Morgan, William Wilcox,
John Swanson and R.. A. Douglas.
The consolidation project is not
new. 1t has not been considered
for two or three years but half
dozen years ago the movement was
SO strang that at one time CONSOLE
dalton appeared inevitable. Moline
aldermen are convinced that geo.
graphically, commercially and in
dustrially the two cities are one
unit and are much in favor OF the
union.
The proposition of annexing ter
ritory south to Rock river, it is
believed, will meet with the favor
of everyone. 1t will permit expan-
sion southwest and give to people
residing in that part of Moline ade-
quate sewer facilities. 1t is gener-
ally admitted that without an out
let in Rock river it will be prac-
tically impossible to give sewage
facilities to people living in the
southwest territory.

TRUSTEES TALK
OF CONTINUATION
SCHOOL OPENING

Whether East Moline will estab-
lish an industrial continuation
school, equipment for which will
mount up into thousands of dollars,
this September or next, will be de-
cided by the board of education at
its regular meeting in June. AL
though the question was discussed
at length at the meeting Monday
night, no conclusion was arrived at.
Jesse S. kolb, assistant supervisor
Of vocational education at Spring
field, explained the situation before
the township high school board.
The establishment Of we'll
equipped industrial continuation
school in East Moline is obligatory
as the city must conform with the
state law requiring the establish
ment of continuation schools for
the education of students between
the ages of IA and Is partially pro-
yided for under the Smith-Hughes
law. The board has until the fall
of 1921 to equip such school and
it is only a question of when to do
this. AS East Moline has no man
ual arts building the expense OF
conducting the industrial continue
ton school there will be heavy.

ASK EXTENSION OF
ELECTRIC SERVICE

Doubt was expressed today by
both officials of the city and the
Tri-City Railway company as to
the effect of a petition presented
to the city council last night de-
manding action in enforcing the
decision Of the public utilities COM
mission ordering the Tri-City Rail
way company to extend the blue
Inc service on Twenty-seventh
street to the government housing
tract and the Highland addition.
The 7-cent fare was granted with
the agreement that the extension
be in operation May /. Signers of
the petition included a majority of
residents of Highland addition and
of the government houses.
J. G. Huntoon, general manager
Of the company. said that he could
not very we'll make a statement I'M
til he had received a copy of the
council resolution. He intimated,
however, that conditions were not
very favorable for immediate con-
struction Of the extension.

cester, Mass, in the latter part of
June under the auspices of the

cert go towards financing the east

berg male choruses show a fine
spirit OF brotherhood in aiding the
Sveas in their enterprise.

separately and will sing the chief
numbers in one group. The soprano
soloist of the evening is Miss Es-
Their Malmrose of Rock Island.

DECLINE SELLS
CORN HOLDINGS

Chicago. May 1S.-General selling
~ corn resulted today from de-
clihes in Liberty bonds. the failure
pf . Kansas bank and from belief
that railroad labor difficulties would
be settled shortly. The Kansas
bank failure attracted special at
tention owing to reports that the
collapse was due to burdenseme
loans on wheat. Notice that the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad
had cancelled all restrictions against
grain shipments to Chicago counted
also as a bearish factor. Opening
prices, which ranged from &c to
Inc lower. with July 1.75A to 1.76,
and September 1.621a to 1.63, were
followed by material further set
back.
Oats weakened with corn. After
opening hc to hc@1sc down, in
GLIDING July at 91N to 92c, the
market continued to sag.
Lower quotations on grain had a
depressing effect in the provision
market. Support was lacking.
Subsequently assertions that rad
zeal steps to break, the railway traf-
&c jam would be taken quickly by
the interstate commerce commits
sion led to big additional tumbles
in corn prices and so likewise did
reports OF industrial establish
ments laying off large numbers OF
employees. The close was semi-de-
moralized, 31sc to SIC net lower
with July 1.69& to ITO, and Sep
TENDER 1.60A to 1.60%s.

bills and discussed the cemetery

DENY REQUEST FOR
INCREASES IN PAY

Policemen and firemen Of Moline
were granted no salary increases by
the city council last evening and
the salary of one city official, the
newly appointed engineer, Albert D..
Payton. was actually decreased.
Lack of money is the principal rea-
son for denying the petition for in
creased pay.
About twenty employees and city
officials were given minor in
creases. 1t is reported that the
clothing allowances Of both firemen
and policemen may be increased
but no action was taken. Patrol
men and firemen now receive $12O
