Royal Love.

Frederick, crown prince Of Denmark. was
to have married Olga niece Of the king of
Greece. The engageAent was formal. Fred
erick was said to be much in love with Olga.
Olga, 10 years old and very pretty. was said
to be much in love with Frederick. They had
met at French seaside resort. 1t was love at
first sight, or something like that. And it
seemed to be a very desirable match.
About a. hours after the abdication OF King
Constantine it is officially announced in Copen-
hagen that the engagement is off,. It is all
right for crown princes to have real love at
fairs as long as the objects of their affections
are first-class princesses But the mere niece
Of twice-dethroned> king is not so good II
she is not ineligible she is at least undesirable.
Evidently the Danish royal family has no wish
to have an INDECENT unclezjn-law on its hands.
So young Frederick will have to look for an
other sweetheart. Or, more likely, he will not
look at all, but will accept someone chosen for
Elm by the diplomats and she will not be a
sweetheart, but merely a state wife. And pref
ty young Olga, if she is lucky, will marry a
banker or bootblack, and bless the fate that
made the Greek royal family good deal less
royal than it used to be.

Diet and Efficiency.

eff music be the food of love-" what's the
food of war? Upon what meat doth this our
Caesar feed, that he hath grown SO great?" is
a question that has never been answered in
detail Jack Dempsey says he eats meat once
a day, drinks coffee in the morning and gets
away with plenty of fruits and vegetables at
all meals. In the German army the diet Of the
troops was thought to be reduced to a matter
of scientific exactness. But the war upset
more than one German theory. 1t appears that
the favorite food Of the American doughboys
was not meat at all but sweet chocolate, choc-
olate cake and whipped cream, plus cigarets
At least. that was what they consumed in vast
quantities during the early days of their oc-
cupation of the Rhineland; and they introduced
this inspiriting fodder to the German people,
and the craze for these things has now spread
throughout Germany. The rotund native Ger
man now sinks into chair in a cafe of the
Under den Linden and instead of a stein orders
a cup Of chocolate, large quantities Of whipped
cream and as many cakes covered with thick
chocolate frosting as the waiter will bring him
Several portions are usually ordered; the de-
mand for cigarets has increased in the same
ratio. Who says the American can't teach the
learned Germans a thing or two!

The Daily Short Story

The questioner had to be salts
fled with that.
Jerry had been keeping on with
his self-improvement course about
a year, when one day the superin-
tendent called him into his office
"Mayfield, you're wanted where
you are. I'm going to make you
assistant to our advertising manag-
er; you know the goods so we'll"
He named the salary.
After while Jerry came to suf-
ficiently to stammer his thanks
and ask few questions.
He burst in on his wife that ev-
ening. "Say, Mildred, we can have
an electric stove and a washer
and"
"Why, no we can't, Jerry: Id
love them, but we can't afford

sang joyfully. I'VE can afford

ize that occasionally some very
pleasant surprises do occur in this
old world OF ours.

Official Duty in a Crisis.

grave responsibility rests upon the shoul-
ders of Rock Island city and county officials in
the present crisis through which this commun-
ity is passing, and which already has resulted
in the destruction of two lives-those of Will
liam Gabel and John Looney, Jr.
Gabel and Looney are dead, but there are
aced by the underworld influences that en-
gagged in deadly warfare yesterday afternoon in
Market square. Officaldom can't deny that it
was conscious of vendetta between those
forces, and it could have spared the community
further terror and humiliation by stripping the
known feudists of their weapons of destruction,
not SO much to save them from themselves but
in the interest of the safety and dignity of the
community.
Bill Gabel died according to the law of the
underworld. So did John Looney, Jr., young
man who was authorized by the city govern
ment to wear policeman's star and carry
gun. Looney and his father and their asso-
ciates were armed yesterday afternoon when
they encountered several of their sworn
enemies and engaged in mortal combat i'm
periling the lives of hundreds of innocent men,
women and children, going about their peaceful
pursuits in the streets of Rock Island. If the
officials Of Rock Island city and county had
needed the warnings and protests of the decent
people of the community the men who partici-
pated in that Market square battle would not
have been in possession of the weapons that
spilled the blood and wiped out the life of John
Looney, Jr.
The Argus. in all calmness and candor, sens
ing the danger of situation that may not yet
be entirely cleared, voicing the sentiments of
the people of Rock Island appealing for decency
and safety in their city hereby serves notice
on Acting Chief of Police William H. Fitzsim-
mons and Sheriff John Miller to take immediate
steps to disarM every dangerous character
known to be in a menacing mood over the re-
suits Of yesterdays clash in Market square, The
good people Of Rock Island expect and demand
that protection from the sworn officials Of their
city and county.
