Paris, Dec. 1 The allies advance
is now under way. The Germans are
being pushed back foot by foot and
the outer defenses of the French and
British troops are being extended
along the whole 300-mile battle line.
In anticipation of a possible counter
attack by the Germans every new po'
sition taken by the allies is being
doubly strengthened. Every inch OF
ground gained must be held at all
costs, is evidently the order of Gen.
erals French and Joffre.
The French artillery is giving ex
cellent support to the infantry, not
only in the advance but in holding
the Germans in check while the new
positions occupied are being made Sc.
cure against attack.
Brisk fighting continues in the vi.
entity of Ypres and along the entire
line from Lille to Ypres.
1t is reported the allies have taken
full possession of Dixmude. This po-
sition has changed hands repeatedly

< fit in Publicity.
WOULD RE0RGANIzE ARMY

10 Against an Increase in Standing
Force, but Favors Establishment Of
Reserve Corps to Supply Trained
Soldiers When Needed!
Washington, Dec. 12.-Declaring
that there has been too much publicity
OF military affairs of the nation Sena-
tor Weeks of Massachusetts,, in a
speech in the senate, opposed agita-
ton for special investigation of mill
tary preparedness, praised the
strength and personnel Of the navy
and urged the organization of an army
reserve. ,, ~
AT this time,' he said, 1T does not
seem to me that it is wise or prudent
to take any action which will change
our policy or add to our naval equip
ment except by an omnibus appropria-
ton which can be expended under
the direction of the general board of
the navy, with the approval Of the
secretary of the navy and the presi-
dent. Based on the experience Of the
past our naval establishment is in
class with that of Germany and
France, and probably second only to
that Of Great Britain"
Senator Weeks maintained that the
army is insufficient and proposed it's
reorganization, not for the purpose of
Increasing the permanent active army,
but for the organization of reserve
corps which would make available
large forces of trained soldiers at all
times.
;. For Reserve System.
Through a reserve system Senator
Weeks maintained that a. much larger
trained army could be maintained at
less expense than a permanent stand
Ing army now.
II believe" said the senator, that
laws should be passed at once which
will reorganize the regular army.
This reorganization should give to the
mobile army the proper proportion OF
infantry, field artillery, cavalry, en-
glneers, signal, sanitary troops, the
needed ammunition and supply trains
and provide for properly equipped de-
pots.
G 1.-THE law must provide that the men
/ serve the shortest time with the COL
ors necessary to train them as SOL
. oilers, and then pass them as soon as
! trained to a reserve, and that while
serving in this reserve the men must
be paid. Make the enlistment age
eighteen to twenty-one years with
consent of parents and twenty-five
years as limit for first enlistment"
In addition to the national reserve
force Senator Weeks would have a
similar reserve organized under the
state militia.

Forward Movement Of French and
British Measured in Yards.

British Measured in Yards.
Paris. Dec. 12.-Fighting over roads
heavy with mud and through patches
of bushes which have been turned
into swamps through the heavy rains
the French and British lines are sad-
vancing yard by yard. q"
The forward movement of the allied
troops is literally measured by yards,
in an official statement covering a
period of operations up to Dec. Z. The
infantry gain, however, extended from
the coast and clear across Northern
France into Alsace. The Germans
are reported to have evacuated Rou-
lers. and Thief may also be abandon
ed.
Persistent advancing of the British
along the railroad from Ypres to
Roulers has forced this action upon
the Germans.

FAIR ANSWERS NORTH sIDERs.
Candidate for Mayor Shows What He
Had Done Before.

To Those Whom it May Concern:
Some good live enterprising citizens
of the north side have raised the cry
what did DR.. Farr ever do for the
north sides Good. Ny answer to that
question is, more than any other mayor
of the city of Kenosha; that is if you
consider that everything done by the
honorable council is the direct work of
the mayor. Did it ever occur to you
who ask this question, that you have
an alderman who represents you; and
if there is nothing done it is his fault,
not the mayor So Well, what did
your aldermen and DR.. Farr as mayor
do during the three years Farr was
mayor. They put in and completed
the water works, thereby giving you
needed fire protection and paid ten
thousand dollars on same. The mayor,
DR.. Farr, and your alderman Christ
Schend, built your north side engine
house; furthermore, they filed in and
leveled and made passable to traffic. the
ravine on Lake avenue at great expense
considering our means. What more
could be done than the above in three
years? Now lets see what the north
side is going to do for DR.. Farr
Truly yours,
w. NJ Farr.

COUNCIL MIGHT DENY RIGHT
City Attorney Holds That Council Of
fers Vote on School Bond Proposition
as Privilege and Not as Right to
the Electors of the City.

Women of Kenosha and men as well
have been given to understand that the
question of deciding on the issue of
school bonds to the amount of 100000
is submitted to them as a privilege
and not as right. This is brought
out in an opinion fled with City Clerk
George w. Harrington by City Attor-
icy John G. Slater today. The opinion
was given with a view Of establishing
the status of women in voting for or
against the bond issue. The opinion
is decidedly interesting one as it
emphasizes the right Of the council to
act irrespective of the vote of the peo-
pie The opinion is in part as follows:
Pursuant to your request for an
opinion as to the right Of women to
vote upon the question Of bonding the
city by the issuance of bonds for the
purchase of site and the erection of
a high school building in the city of
Kenosha, / have given your question
due consideration and in the light of
the decision of our supreme court in
the case of Hall VS.. City of Madison,
reported in 1913 Wisconsin, p. 132-159
it is clear that women have the right
to vote on such matters when the ques-
tion is one wherein4it is obligatory up
on the common council to submit the
question to the people.
Justice Marshall, however, writes a
vigorous dissenting opinion, Astounding
in sound reasoning and clear logic,
which is very persuasive, concurred in
by Justice Kerwin, insisting that the
women have no such right, but, the
opinion of the majority becomes the
judgment of the court, and is. conclu-
sive and binding.
The Madison case differs from the
situation in Kenosha.
In the Madison case it was obliga-
tory upon the common council to sub
NIT the question to the apeople. In
the impending election it was not OBJ
Iigatory upon the common council to
submit the question in the first
instance.
Section 943 of the statutes provides
that no bonds shall be issued by any
city until the proposition shall have
been submitted TO the people of the
municipality and adopted by ma
jority voting thereon, and also further
provides that this law shall not apply
to the issuance Of bonds for school
purposes unless demanded by petit
tion signed by not less than ten per
cent in number of the voters who vot-
ed in said city at the last general
state election.
Women are not eligible to sign this
petition, but would have the right to
vote upon the question submitted, UNI
der the decision above cited, were such
submission demanded upon filing of the
requisite petition.
No demand by petition for submits
sion has been made and none could be
at this time, and the purpose of the

START PAVING WORK.
G. Petersen Construction Co. Makes
Record for Early Opening of Paving.

G. Petersen Construction Co. Makes
Record for Early Opening of Paving.
The G. Petersen Construction Com
pany established a record for early
opening of paving operations in Ke-
nosha on Monday when work was
started on the paving of West Park
street. A big force of men are at
work grading the street and the work
of putting i'll the concrete foundation
will be started just as soon as the
weather will permit Neither the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company nor
the Kenosha Home Telephone Company
will install conduits for underground
wires under this pavement, the city
council failing to hold that such con
Quits were necessary. The Petersen
company also has the contract for the
concrete pavement ON Division street
but this will not be started until all
danger from frost and cold weather is
eliminated. The early start in the
work gives assurances that all pave
ment work in the city will be complet-
ed in record time this season.

Life Story of Dependents to
be Told in Statistics For
the State Board.
CITY OFFICER HAS BIG JOB

The state board Of control has put
a real job on the officials of the vari-
Gus towns of Kenosha county and the
pauper commissioner of Kenosha as
this morning the officers of the board
sent demand to the county clerk de-
manding that reports of out-doo relief
be prepared and forwarded to the state
board of control at once. These Stats
ties will cover everything in connec-
tion with the handling of dependents
in the county.
In Kenosha Poormaster Saftig will
be forced to search out and tabulate
the life stories of more than two humid
red people who have been helped by
the city during the past twelve months.
The same statistics must be furnished
hy every town clerk in the county.
The statistics will show every fact in
regard to the lives of people seeking
aid from the city and the towns.
They must show the place of birth, the
age and the occupation of all paupers,
the work that these people are doing
toward their own support and the rea-
sons that they have been forced to APP
peal to the public authorities for
support.
A great majority of the paupers of
Kenosha county are on the lists of the
city poor department. During the past
year this list has been longer than in
former years on account of the fact
that there has been times of industrial
stagnation. At one time the list de-
pendent on the city reached the high
mark of more than eighty families. In
addition to this the city has been
forced to provide support of scores of
people who were detained in their
homes on account of guarantees for
small pox and other diseases. 1t is
thought that demands for this cause
are about at an end as this morning
the report of the health department
shows that there remain but five quar-
antines for this disease and it is
thought that the epidemic is at an end.
These demands for the support of
quarantined families have greatly in
creased the cost of the pauper depart
ment to the city but at that the total
amount spent under the direction of
the commissioner is not nearly as
large as has been reported in years
past. The total appropriations made
this year have been less than $500
and less than the actual appropriation
made by the common council for this
department. Commissioner Saftig has
done a lot to make some of the people
self supporting and just as soon as was
possible people who have secured aid
have been taken from the lists of
dependents.

common council in submitting the
question at the request of the board
of education would seem to indicate
the desire of both boards for an ex-
preston of the people as a guide for
future action rather than an election
of some binding force.
Such being the case, it is privilege
rather than right of the people to
vote upon the question, and inasmuch
as women would have the right where
it is incumbent upon the council to
submit the question, by analogy they
enjoy the privilege with men; the eff
feet of the distinction being, that the
council or proper officer may determine
the manner of expressing the choice
and are not bound to follow the strict
letter of the election law so long as
ample provision is made for fair
expression"

GET DEED 35 YEARS OLD.
George Seven Records Deed Made to
Him by Martin Leonardtz.

The register of deeds had something
Of a curiosity on Monday afternoon
when there was filed for record in his
Office deed which had been made
more than thirty-fve years ago. The
deed was given by Martin Leonardo to
George Seven and wife and it has been
in the possession of Seven since it was
originally signed. The property has
been held by Mr.. Seven since the date
of the deed and he was of the opinion
that there was no reason to place the
deed on record until he planned a sale
of the property. Many cases of a
similar nature have been discovered by
the register of deeds in the past and
the failure of property holders to place
deeds on records has resulted in some
confusion in real estate Titles. Regis
ter Of Deeds Torrey said: "Just say
that it is good practice to put deed
on record the same day you get it. !"

Women of City Will Cast Their Votes
by Machine Week From Today.

The women of Kenosha will vote en-
tirely by machine on next Tuesday and
there will be no long wait for the
counting of the votes. City Clerk
Harrington this morning formally de-
cided to place the bond issue vote
among the women on the machine. It
will be arranged SO that two levers
will be used for the vote on the school
bond issue. One of these levers will
be for recording the votes of the male
voters and the other for women. The
women will also vote by machine for
school commissioners. The decision of
the clerk will go long way toward
making it possible to give out the re
suit of the election immediately after
the polls are closed.

John Vizior, Kenosha man recently
tried in the United States court in
Milwaukee on charges of passing
counterfeit money, was taken to the

Monday to begin the service of a FIVE
year term. Vizior pleaded guilty"

passing the spurious coin and he was a
witness for the government in the trial
of Andrew Korrosi, also Kenosha
man, who had been charged with a
similar offense Korrosi was acquitted
for when Vizior took the stand he de-
clared that his companion had nothing
to do with the making of the money
and that his attempts to pass it had
been without knowledge that it was
