Because of the interest felt by
European nations, many of whose sub
jects are resident in Mexico the state
department had fully advised with
their diplomatic representatives in
Washington. The British, German,
Spanish and French embassies and L.
cations here were informed OF the
proclamation and of the Instructions
to Ambassador Wilson so the diplo-
mats might similarly direct to their
own nations representatives in Mex

The task of warning Americans to
nee the country will be left to Am

state department added that such tu-

Washington, March 5.-The gravity
Of the situation in Mexico caused
President Taft to issue proclamation
virtually warning American citizens to
refrain from entering that country and
those now residing there to leave
when conditions threaten to become
tntolerable.
The proclamation was augmented
by a telegram addressed by the state
department to Ambassador Wilson in
the city Of Mexico. The ambassador
was instructed to inform Americans
in peril there to withdraw across the
border, leaving their effects in the
care of the nearest United States con.
sui. Copies of the telegram We're sent
also to all consular agents.
The presidents utterance was sole,
ly warning to Americans to avoid
anything that might SAVIOR of parti-
sanship in the existing state of affairs.
The proclamation is as follows:
Whereas, serious disturbances and
forcible resistance to the authorities
of the established government exist
ing in certain portions of Mexico; and.
whereas, under these conditions It
is the duty of all persons within the
jurisdiction Of the United States to re-

Coal Miners See Victory.

London, March 5.-The coal strike
the greatest in the history Of the Brit.
ish Isles, marked time over the week
end. One satisfactory feature is the
complete absence Of disorder in the
districts affected. Labor leaders in
recent speeches have insisted upon
the Importance of supporting the min

has decided to Institute minimum
wage in connection with the mines It
will be impossible much longer to
withhold establishing minimum

Frank H. Hall, formerly editor of hhe
Kenosha Evening News and Telegraph
Courier, died at the Hinsdale SAM

afternoon after long illness from a
disease of the heart. Mrs. Hall had
been in failing health for more than
two years and week ago she left her
apartments at Winnetka and went to
the sanitarium. The announcement of
her death came as great shock to
friends in Kenosha as none of. them
had been advised Of the serious illness
Of Mrs. Hall.
Mrs. Hall was a delightful woman
and during her years Of residence in
Kenosha she had an active part in the
society of the city. She was a mem

T. O. T. M. GUARDS ENTERTAIN.
At Valentine Party in the X. Of g.
Halls on Tuesday Evening.

The T. 0. T. M. Guards gave their
second public affair last evening in the
x. Of G. halls. This was valentine
party, consisting Of cards and dancing.
The halls were decorated from end to
end with hearts and crepe paper, car
rying out the colors of the lodge, black
and red, and white. It was not an
easy matter to decide just how much
time the guards had spent in decorat-
ing the hall, as there was not a corner
left undecorated. In the early part of
the evening the lower hall was filled to
its utmost capacity and it was feared
that it would be impossible to accom-
modate all, but when the McCaffrey
orchestra started things humming, the
people, both young and old, could not
resist the temptation Of joining the
dance.
Lady Maccabees of the surrounding
towns attended the party, among them
was the district deputy from Milwau-
kee.

SEEK MISSING GIRL.
Helen Iisowski of Kenosha Disappears
in Racine and Cannot be Found.

TIE police of the city have been
asked to use their best efforts to get
some trace of Helen Lisowski, IA
years of age, who formerly resided at
426 Rowland avenue, but who disap-
peared from Racine on Tuesday after
noon. The girl had been working at
the number named but on Tuesday
morning she went to Racine to accept
new position and a few hours later
it was reported that she had disap-
peared. The Racine police were ap-
pealed to but they could get no trace
of the girl in Racine and it is thought
possible that the girl returned to Ke-
nosha and has found a hiding place

WAR Of CLASSES
r. A. Maynard Gives Inter-
esting Lecture to Social
lists Tuesday, Night.
PEOPLE ATTEND MEETING


I The third lecture Of the Socialist .ly.
ceum course was given last night by r..
A. Maynard, Of Los Angeles, to good
sized audience. Mr.. Maynard's subject
was, The War Of the Classes, He
said in part: Socialists are revolu-
tionists. Socialism is that part of evo-
lutionary science which has to do with
the development of society. 1T is one
stage of the evolution of society. Be-
fore Darwin wrote Origin of Species !
Karl Marx gave to the world the law.
of social growth. Broadly stated it is
that the industrial leads in develop
ment. Society rests on an industrial
foundation and the difference between
Socialists and all reformers consists in
the fact that the reformers undertake
to get progress through reforms in po-
litical institutions, religious institu-
tions and in our laws. Socialists say that
this is not the place to begin. In or
der to get any real substantial progress
effort must be directed to the industrial
foundation of society. There is no place
to introduce justice in the social struc-
ture, save in the industrial foundation.
Once introduced here and we have JUS
tice all the way through. =
Concerning the Mcnamara case, the
speaker said: "The McNamaras were
not Socialists. They we've Democrats.
They were, however, members of the
working class. Socialists believed them
innocent, as did all Of the workers in
this country and in the world. All
contributed to their defense. They con-
fessed to the crime charged against
them. Had they been Socialists they
would never have committed this
crime. Socialists do not preach or prac-
tice violence. Socialism brings hope. So
cialism shows the workers a way out
from the Industrial chaos of the pres
ent. Socialism changes pessimism to OPP
timism. Socialists teach that political
institutions and forms Off government
are the highest expressions of the col
lective knowledge and wisdom of soci-
ETY. and should command the respect and
loyalty of every citizen until such a
time as society itself, acting collective
ly, substitutes new standards, ideals
and methods for the old and outgrown.
TO this hope and program all true So
cialists are definitely committed. y

TO COLLEGE
Mrs. Magdalena Balm Leaves
Bulk of Her Fortune to
College in Chic.
ORPHANS ARE ALSO CARED FOR

The estate Of Magdalena Balm, wild
ow of the late Mathew Balm, and for
years one Of the best known women OF
the north side Of the city, is to be used
for the advancement of education
among the Roman Catholics of the
country, as the will Of Mrs. Balm was
filed in the county court this morning,
and outside of two small requests of
| $1,000 each the estate is left to church
institutions. John Gems is named as ex-
ecutor Of the will and it is said that the
value of the estate will be from SIS 900
to $4,000. AS yet no inventory of the
estate has been filed.
Mrs. Balm left surviving her no chill
dren and it had been known for some
time that her estate would probably be
left to aid the work of the church.
The will was made in 1907 and it<pro-
vides that her niece, Mrs. Mary Huck,
Of the town Of Somers, shall receive a
bequest of $1,000, a similar bequest be-
ing left to Barbara Thall, of Trier,
Germany. Provision was made that
Mathew Balm should receive bequest
of $1,000, but as he died several months
ago it is probable that this amount will
become part Of the residue of the es-
tate and go to the work of the church.
The st. Aemiiianus orphan asylum,
located at ST. Francis, is given a be-
quest of $1,000, and the residue of the
estate is bequeathed to the Pontifical
College Josephinum of the Sacred Con-
gregation for the Propagation of Faith,
located at Columbus, Ohio. It is said
that Mr.. and Mrs. Balm, during their
life time had taken great interest in
the college at Columbus and had made
small gifts to the institution for years.
The institution is used in the education
of the priests of the diocese Of northern
Ohio.
The petition to admit the will to pro
bate has not as yet been filed and it is
said that there is possibility that
there will be an objection to its being
admitted. Mrs. Balm had many rela-
tives living in Kenosha who were not
mentioned in the will. In addition,
records show that in 1910 Mrs. Balm
was declared incompetent in the county
court and William Balm was named as
her guardian. Since that time she had
been in very feeble health and her last
illness had been protracted one. The
will bears date nearly three years
previous to the date In which the pc
tition for guardian was made by Mrs.
Balm and under the conditions it is
probable that it would be difficult
matter to break the will, even if it
should be attacked by near heirs of the
estate.
It is expected that agents of the ST.
Francis institution and the college at
Columbus will come to Kenosha within
few DAYS and take an active part in
the settlement of the estate. The larger
amount of the estate is in cash securl-
ties.
