LOCAL ITALIANS GET READY
Officials of the City Interested in Know
ing Just Who Is Going to Care For
the Wives and Children of Reserv-
lists Returning to the Army.

Italian recruiting stations were open
ed in Milwaukee today on the order of
Consul General Count Giulio Bolognesi.
The stations will be under the direction
of Vice Dali Alnol. Tt is expected that
large number of local Italian reserv-
lists will go to Milwaukee to enlist.
Many of the Kenosha Italians have not
been naturalized and will feel in duty
bound to fight for their native country,
now that the call has been sent out
Appeals are already being circulated
in this city for funds for the Italian
Red Cross. The local ctionv is donat-
ing literally for this p2rpose. In an
nouncing the opening of the Milwaukee
recruiting station Consul Bolognesi
says:
tReservists in the United States
who come under the classes already
called out everything from the class
Of 1876-must return to Italy. These
men are anxious to go back to fight for
their country for the war is popular
with them They will be sent to Italy
as soon as possible, preferably on
italian steamships. From Gibraltar
they will probably be conveyed to port
by torpedo destroyers. There will be
Necessity for care, a. Austl an subna-
rines will probably be on the watch
for these transports.
/" Enrolling the reservists and enlist
ing of volunteers is going on stimuli
taneously in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Denver, New Orleans and San
Francisco. There are about 100000
Italians in the United States, 100000
Of whom are reservists. There are
about 10000 reservists in Chicago
A hundred and fifty Kenosha Italians
would be subject to war service under
the call for troops.
Local officials are taking a consid-
cradle interest in. the "return to
fight movement on account of the
fact that there are many Of the men
who are subject to war duty who have
wives and some of them children with
them in Kenosha Tt will be impossible
to take these wives and children back
to ITALY with them on the troop ships
and some provision must be made for
the care of them Leaders in the
Italian population in Kenosha seem to
be Of the opinion that provision will
be made for the care Of these war
widows and their children, but the
local officials would like to have some
assurance that this will be done.
There has been lot of talk Of return
ing to fight among Kenosha Italians
and it is declared that within few
days a movement will be started to or
ganize Kenosha company of reserv-
lists.
There will be no objection to the re-
turn of these people to Italy if proper
provisions is made for the wives and
children to be left behind

"A MESSAGE FROM CHINA.
Speaking before the industrial
leaders OF Kenosha at the banquet
Sendered the Chinese Industrial
Commission at the Pennoyer SAM
tarium, David z. r. Yui, honorary
secretary of the commission, said:
IT want to thank you gentle
men. We came here expecting to
see great things, but we have seen
more than we have dreamed of. We
hope that you will give to us
greater progress in the field Of
transportation. We are interested
particularly in pleasure cars and it
is our hope that you will build more
cars for pleasure than cars for war.
We hope to see your great factory
make more automobiles which will
be for the exchange of the goods
of one nation to another and to
carry the best in the civilization Of
one to the best in the civilization
of the other. They will some time
bear the best wishes of nations to
nations. We want you to make an
automobile which will not only
operate over the badest of roads
and the steepest of the hills, but
which will cross the Pacific Ocean
to us. 7 can see that soon the Pa
cific Ocean will become only like
lilly pond in which we will both
feed the gold fish. In the name of
the commission want to say

Interesting session Marks Comforting
of Royal Arch Degree Tuesday Night.

Of the year among the Chapter Masons

There was a hitch in the proceedings
for the letting of contracts for the
extension of the truck sewer when the
common council met in adjourned ses-
sion on Tuesday evening and the whole
matter was laid over until next Fri
day evening. Just what the hitch is
was not made known. The mayor, who
is a member of the street assessment
committee, announced to the council
that the committee had not wholly
agreed as to the material to be used in
the sewer and that for this reason it
was necessary to ask for further time.
Since the opening of bids on last FRI
day the city has been thronged with
statesmen interested in the sale Of pipe
for the sewer and the committee has
had number of meetings in an effort
to agree on some sort of pipe. 1t is
admitted that the statesmen have made
themselves a nuisance to the members
of the committee and so many diff
ferent suggestions have been made
to the committee that confusion has
resulted.
The men be- of the committee de-
clared thenqur .lirgness to discuss the
cause for holding up the contract more
than admit that it was difference
over material. 1t is understood that
the question of using cement pipe or
segment blocks is the real question at
issue with a majority of the members
0f fba -
blocks. This material has not as yet
been used for sewers in Kenosha and T
there are half dozen different blocks I
on the market and statesmen for all of
these companies are busy trying to get
the city started to using their particu-
lar brand It was said that the COM
nlittee would have their report ready
for the council by the adjourned meet
ing on Friday night.
With the failure of the committee to
get report ready the council meeting
was of little interest. An informal
discussion of the question of regulating
the jitney buses brought some interest
but no formal action was taken more
than to instruct the police committee
to direct the department to see to- it
tina the traffic ordinance was enforced.
The question of jitney bus regulation
is in the hands of the committee on
railways and transportation and it is.
expected that this committee will sug-
gest an ordinance at an early meeting
of the council. The council seems to
be all but unanimously in favor Of
some regulation Of the jitneys, the only
objection to such movement being ON
the part Of Alderman Joachim
The n. r. Allen s Sons Company
sent communication to the council !
suggesting that some steps be taken to
Gredge the Kenosha river at this time.
The Allen company is bringing dredge :
to the city to do some work along its
own docks and it was suggested that
work for the city could be taken care
of under the same contract at a cost
considerable lower than the usual cost
of such work. The council placed the
communication on file and several of
the aldermen showed an unwillingness
to spend anything dredging the river
at this time.
Chairman Buenger of the park com
mission, appeared before the council
ard suggested an informal meeting of
the council and the park commission
TO discuss problems in regard to parks.
This meeting will be held in connec-
ton with the adjourned meeting on
Friday evening.

Studying industrial and commercial
conditions in quiet manner and
pumping dry every source Of informa-
ton, the Chinese Commercial Commits
sioners, more than thirty in number, in
Guiding many of the most prominent
men of the new Republic Of China, saw
Kenosha and more especially the plant
of the Thomas B. Jeffrey Company to-
day Tt was historic event in the
history of Kenosha and the visit of the
men interested in the development Of
the latest powers of China as a com
mercial and industrial union, was made
one of the most notable events Of a
year at the big plant of the Jeffrey
company. The trade commissioners
have been in America but short time
and Kenosha is the smallest city in
population scheduler to be visited dur
ing their tour of the sister republic.
In fact the commission has not stopped
at any city under hundred thousand
population until it reached Kenosha
and the short itinerary arranged for
the coming weeks will not include any
ctty of this size.
e., r. Williams, special repres entative
of the department of state, said: "The
commissioners have come to -Xenosha
because Kenosha and the Jeffrey com
pany have something Of especial inter
est. We have no other towns of this
size to visit, but the commissioners
have looked forward to this visit with
great deal of interest. China is in
terested especially in the development
Of the motor industry and much is to
be learned from the short visit in
Kenosha.'
There was a real home like appear
ance of the Orientals at the Jeffery
plant when they arrived on the special
Jeffrey parlor car over the North
Western this morning. Over the en-
trance to the plant were draped the
flags of the United States and China
and all over the plant there were
Chinese and American flags. Gayly
decorated automobiles met the members
of the party at the train and they were
taken at once to the plant where there
was an informal reception rendered
them The visitors had no time for
preliminaries and within few minutes
they were busy inspecting the great
motor making plant. They seemed to
be taking real interest in every de-
partment. They marveled at the de-
velopment of labor saving machinery
tin operation in the big plant and they
asked many questions of costs of oper-
alton and methods of manufacture of
this machinery. Pleasure cars were of
interest, but they showed the greatest
interest in the truck department. They
gathered about the armored truck
made for service in the war zone and
nembers of the party insisted in climb
ing into the truck and testing out its
working. This appeared to be the most
