ened break in the course of the Mis-
souri, river from Cambridge Benz,
to Bowles Point, above Glasgow,
Nc, endangering navigation and in
volving a cut from the mainland Of
about six thousand acres of land,
was reported today to Secretary
Weeks.
A delegation Of Missourians,
headed by Senators Spencer and
Reed, and residents of Slater and
Glasgow, asked the war secretary
to lend assistance to an effort they
were making to have the river en-
bankment strengthened to keep the
waterway in its present course.
They estimated an appropriation of
$500, 900 would enable army en-
gineers sufficiently to strengthen
the embankment and safeguard
navigation and the land which
would be cut off if the river broke
through a channel.

MOLINE TO ASK
new TOWNSHIP
Wants Merger To Include $40 Acres
of South Moline Now With
in Limits.
Especial Moline service.l

A resolution recommending Gre
ating of a new township to include
all the territory now within the city
limits of Moline will likely be pre-
scented to the Rock Island county
board of supervisors by the Moline
city council next Monday.
approximately $40 acres of South
Moline township are now included
in the city of Moline The South
Moline territory within the city is
located in the southeast part of Mo-
line. 1t includes Highland addi-
ton and 4 large area east of Pros
pect park as well as a section
northwest of Highland. All of Mo-
line township is in the city.
Mayor c. P. Skinner and other
city officials do not anticipate any
objections to the merger from the
residents of South Moline
The merger would result in many
advantages to persons residing in
South Moline township. and it
would mean less expense through
the elimination of duplicate organ
izations
City officials also contend that
there is no logical reason why part
of the city of Moline should be sub
ject to action of South Moline town
ship officials.

Paris, Feb. AFTER the revolu-
ton of 1918 the emperor, the emp
ress and the crown prince were
the only members of the imperial
family who were exiled from Ger
many.
The other princes left their pal
Potsdam.
The emperor had six sons and
one daughter, Princess Victoria
Louise
How are these members of the
ex-imperial family now living in
Germany? A writer in the Echo
De Paris tells the story.
THE crown princess" he says,
goes on visit about two or three
times year to her husband in Hol-
land. The rest of the year she lives
in Potsdam at the Cecilienhof cas-
tie, with her four children. Her
two eldest sons, Wilhelm and Joa-
chin, Is and Is years old respec-
lively, have a tutor, but attend the
state college at Potsdam where
they have to submit to the ordinary
rules.
THE two young princes bicycle
to school and join in all the sports
and games that are going on, and
are always dressed very simply.
Prince Adalbert lives at Will
hemshayen where he leads a quiet
existence, asSociating with a few
families Of the nobility and is little
spoken of.
THE motor car business, Mer-
cedes, offered him recently a mil
lion marks year to be its repre-
sentative, but Prince Adalbert re-
fused the offer.
An Auto Salesman.
His brother, Prince August-Wil-
helm, joined bank at once after
the revolution, but trade seemed
to interest him more than finance
and he is now with the Opel motor
car firm where he earns 10000
marks a year, with additional per-
Centage He has not much inter
course with the former members of
the court
Prince Htel-Friedrich lives in
the villa Jugenheim at Potsdam,
and is the greatest intriguer of the
imperial family. The monarchist
in which he took
part last summer with Ludendorff
are not yet forgotten. His hatred !
Of France is we'll known, and he is !
