18 America Consistent in Address From Chicago
Congressman Fred A. Britten contends America accelerates the European war’s prolongation by loaning millions and supplying war material through banks and industry. He cites France’s $10 million loan via National City Bank, contracts from England, and orders to U S steel and shipyards totaling hundreds of millions, arguing such actions support the war and reflect hypocrisy in peace proclamations.

Repair work remains by Herman Hoffman at 127 East Second Street, a long familiar Muscatine business. Also note an advertisement for Chamberlain's Tablets for stomach issues.
