A dragnet has been spread over

hend four Camp Grant soldiers be-
lieyed to be the murderers OF Mrs.
Leroy Moss, wife Of Camp Grant
army officer, which occurred Tues

Davenport.
The four men in a Ford, stolen.

form, were last seen In Blue Grass

murderers were unsuccessful. D

the soldiers effectively covered
their trail and perhaps even re-l

Since then all efforts have proved
fruitless. A vigorous vigilance OF
the tri-city police has failed to dis
close any new trail Of tn, soldiers.
} Colonel Harry B. Jordan has been
notified that the missing soldiers
are believed to have gone to Dav-
export and all the means OF tho

prehend the murderers.
A blanket telegram to the sher-
iffs of all Iowa counties has BEEN
sent out by Governor Harding, but
no traces have been received since
the trail abruptly ended in Blue

ELECTRIC SCOREBOARD TELLS STORY
 OF DODGER'S WIN IN THIRD BATTLE

the automobile races. The auto races are not scheduled to start until 3 o'clock, but it will probably be 3:15 before the starting gun in the race will be fired. However. the ball game will probably be completed by 1:S0- not later than 1:45 at the latest.
 While the teams are in Cleveland the doors at the theater will open at 11:30 o'clock sharp, at which hour the special wire direct from the ball field to the Columbia theater will open. All pre- game gossip is furnished on this wire, including lineups and the bat teries.
 Interest in the series was increased many fold yesterday as a result of the Dodgers victory. Rumors that the Dodgers had been liked" to throw the series to Cleveland before the first game was played throw considerable cold water on local enthusiasm. The manner in which the Superbas are tearing into tle Indians. however, has convinced fans that they are out to win if such a thing is possible. The series now stands: Brooklyn, won 2, lost 1 Cleveland, won 1, lost 2.
 Coveleskie and Marquard or Nam aux will probably do the hurling in Saturdays game. Coveleslxie defeated the Dodgers in the opening game.

 Ndt in years has there been so much interest in the opening game of the football season. Quite true. consider able rivalry has always existed between the two factions, the .has beens" and the .'present day lights" but it has never been so keen. it seems, as this year. This is probably due. however, to the fact that the attendance at the school this fall is larger than ever be- fore. coupled with the presence of thousands of alumni in the city. hun dreds of whom had not returned from the service when the big game was played last season.
 Both squads are anxiously awaiting the sound of the whistle that will send them into the fray. The Alumni will be represented by the strongest team in recent years. Coach Robinson at the high school is said to have a re- markably fast eleven also, and a good game is assured.

the LEGION AMI POLITICS.

During the coming months the poll
ticians are going to figure among them
selves as TO what appeal they can make
to catch the returned soldier vote. The
American Legion represents the poten-
tial 1000, 900 votes Of American SOL
diers and sailors and It Il acknowledged
that any proposition fostered by the
Legion is going TO be put over. pro-
vided the Legion stands united behind
It.
The American Legion has declared
that politics !s not one of the planks
in its platform of Amertcanisn. but
that does not say that policies can not
be a part OF that platform. Regard
less OF any declaration, the Legion can
not keep out Of politics, Nor does 1t
| want to, for such action would not be
fulfilling its part In the future deci-
the average colder ran up against
many things connected with his gov
eminent which he believes could be
bettered. The use Of the ballot is the
way he will take to do this. That he
will use this power Is certain. that he
will use it in cooperation with the rest
of his comrades is not only likely but
natural.
| It may be safely said that the ex-
service men are going to support poll
cies and candidates. which have for
/ their foundation the idea Of making
know 1t to be--the best place on earth
| In which to live. Whether the former
nephew of Uncle Sam got overseas or
not ne learned a great deal Of his
country while In the various army
camps He learned that his home state
| /. a pretty good place to live In. II he
was overseas, this feeling was inten-
sifed The desire for foreign travel
has, in a great measure, been taken
out Of his system. Any one who has
not experienced 1t can never know the
toy which comes to a nan who has
been gone from his home for an in
definite length OF time. There is a
quiet Joy which pervades him about
which no one else will know. He feels
like taking a good long breath Of the
air Of his own locality and shouting to
the four winds, "be it ever so humble.
I'll never leave home again" Not one
man out of a hundred thousand went
to war with the idea that he was max
ing the world safe for democracy He
went because his country was at wal
and in danger and he would go agalI
for the same reason but no other. Pop
ular slogans mean nothing to the mar

Germ. Just so in the coming campaign
. the old battle cries of the parties viii
fail to make any appeal to the soldier
vote.
