DESTITUTE CASE
ENDS AS FAMILY
GOES TO PEORIA

One Of the saddest cases to be
called to the attention Of the Rock
Island Welfare association just end
ed when the family moved from
this city, the mother to q hospital
in Peoria, the father to Kansas
City, Mo-. looking for work, two
children to relatives in Toulon, Ill.
and three to relatives in Peoria
Tho family formerly lived in
East Moline, but later moved to
Peoria and last August came to
Rock Island. The father and MOTH
er were i'll and their children inher-
tied their affection. The case was
brought to tho attention OF the as
sociation and the city physician
took care of the family.
Just before Christmas when the
fifth entered the household, the
father OF the little family was out
of work. The Oldest child is sew
en- years. The condition Of the fam
lily was desperate in January, and
only through the aid of the associa-

mother was forced to take care o.
the children and work around the
house four days after the birth OF
her youngest child.
The parents conditions became
precarious, but the youngest babe
was FREQ from the illness. Finally
the father received word that there
was work waiting IL. him in Kan
sas City and left his family. He
was unfortunate in his search and
remained in that city. Meanwhile
his wife's condition became worse
and her mother sent for her from
Peoria.
The association also got into
communication with other relatives
in Peoria, who came to this city
The mother was taken to Peoria
hospital where she is receiving at
teLtion, while three of her bah.
daughters are with a sister in Pc

OF course the entire question OF
foreign Indebtedness has always
had . direct bearing on what
amounts Of money the allies could
collect from Germany, but every
effort to transfer British or French
obligations to the backs OF the Ger
mans who are already overloaded
with debt has been officially
sQuelched whether presented to
the United States formally or infor-
mally through diplomatic or fnan-

The decision of the Harding adj
ministration also is in line with
the attitude assumed by the Ameri-
can commissioners who advised
President Wilson at the peace con-
ference. A study was made ,infor-
mally Of the reparations question,
but the United States declined to
render an official opinion. 1t was
felt that Americas views would be
presented at the reparations COM
mission table. But that commits
sion was unable to function as a

because the United States refused
to ratify the Versailles treaty and
