War Children Are Grave.

From the New York Mail.
People simply will believe that there
is to be peace soon, though there isn't.
Elderly people will recall the civil war
straight on, was, to the elder generation,
always coming to an end in a month or
two. 1t was in the south, though, where
the trouble was most desperate, thai
people believed most implicitly in an
early termination Of the war. And the
war went on and on, until hearts were
broken and four years were gone.
In 1861 all the north knew that the
confederacy couldn't hold out four
years. But the children! They did not
look for the end of the war. Some of
them had come up to an understanding
age and could not remember when the
war was not raging-when mothers and
sisters were not weeping and praying,
and fathers or grandfathers were not
sitting grim and silent and strained, as
If waiting for their own sentence Of
death. To these children who could re-
times seemed as if the war must always
be-as if that were the way the world
was made.
People who were children during. the
civil war and who were old enough or
keenly conscious enough to understand
what it meant, took an impress of seri-
BUSINESS upon their minds and souls which
the next generation quite escaped: Things
sank in deeply in those days. The fire

in Europe. The gravity of 1t all Will go

Won Tirpitz a Typical Sea Dog.
IRON the Worlds Work.

From the Wofld WoTh.
Admira Won Tirpitz's character is
chiefly that of an old salt. With his
forked beard, his large, round face, his
huge bulk, he physically looks the part
Of Neptune. With a genuine sailor, he
can easily unbend; he can roar out a
sailors ditty with the best Of them;
his business and his relaxations are all
nautical; even his favor1te drink, &C
cording to tradition, is North sea sea
foam. If he has one enthusiasm, 1T is
the. British navy: he admires Its his
tory. its traditions, its great achieve
ments. If fate in recent years has
transformed him into an Anglophobe,
that certainly is not his chosen role;
for Nelson. Drake, Hawkins and the
other great British sea rovers became
the guiding influence in his life. More.
over, he likes not only English naval
ideas, but England itself. his children
have gained their education, in part In
england. This inclination, according to
his advisers, he has transferred to the
limited States.

MAY ABOLISH PERSONAL TAX
Recommends Assessments on Real Els
tate, Public Utilities, Etc.

The Wisconsin state tax commission
in its biennial report to the governor
on Tuesday, recommended the abolish
ment of taxes on all personal property.
1t recommends that taxes be levied only
on real estate, public utilities, incomes,
inheritances and bank stock. 1t sug-
gested that the tax on automobiles be
based on the power or Che weight of
each machine.
1t calls the attention of the legisla-
ture to the fact that the 40 of the
mill common school tax has grown rap
idly during the last few years on ac-
count of the increase in local assess
ments and has led in some cases to ex-
travagance in the expenditure of the
revenue from such tax. The commits
sion says that some steps should be
taken to reduce this tax.

SHOWS CONDITIONS ARE GOOD.
State Bank Commissioner Gives Out
Report OH Conditions of State Banks.

State Bank Commissioner A. E.
Kuolt has submitted the annual report
of his department to the governor.
The compilations of resources and liza
bilities of state banks and trust COM
panies and building and loan associa-
tions are based on the last call for
statements, October 81, 1914. The
compilation shows the financial condi-
tion of six hundred and fifty state
banks, three mutual savings banks,
fourteen trust companies, and sixteen
building and loan associations.
The state banks and trust companies
represent an aggregate capital invest
ment of $21,8l9.950. This was gain
for 1914 in capital invested Of $656,000.
The total resources Of these banks was
$239,56b733, an increase of $8,4S7 1868
during the last year.
The report shows that the general
condition Of the state banks of Wis
consin is good.
The commissioners says that notwith-
standing the European war the banks
during the latter half of the year
showed an increase in resources of
$S,487 ,943, an increase in capital in
vestment of $556,200, and an increase
in deposits of $6,696,715. The commits
sioner says that he hopes change will
be made in the law doing away with
the possibility of incorporating unnec-
essary and obviously unsafe banks, and
that the board of review of his deci-
sions may be made elective instead of
fixed by statute.
The expenses of the department dur
ing the year were $44.737 and the re-
ceipts $30,931. The net cost to the
state Of the banking department, ac-
cording to the commission, was $15,1 04

From Her husband in Circuit Court.

Mrs. Wanda l. 'Hommedeiu, an ac-
tress, who for the past two years had
lived in retirement in Kenosha, was on
Tuesday granted a divorce from her
husband, Milford L 'Hommedeiu, by
Judge Belden in the circuit court. The
husband who is declared to be a thea
trical manager residing at Golden, Col,
did not appear to contest the action,
but it was shown that personal service
of the summons and complaint in the
action, had been served on him in
the Colorado city. The wife told her
story in court, charging her husband
with desertion, failure to provide and
with extreme cruelty. Her story of.
her married life was confirmed by sew
eral other witnesses. It was stated
that just as soon as the formal judg-
ment of divorce had been entered in
the courts here the young woman would
return to the stage and she had already
secured an engagement as an actress.

Failure of Milwaukee health officers
to discover the presence of a case of
smallpox in Milwaukee, is declared to
have resulted in the disease being
brought to Kenosha. This was discov-
cred by DR.. John j. McShane the Ke-
nosha health officer, on Tuesday after
noon when he established the second
quarantine for smallpox in Kenosha at
the home of Howard Dennis at 500
Garden street. Dennis had been i'll for
several days, but he had no idea that
he was suffering from smallpox. When
he was taken sick with severe head
ache and 6 sore throat several DAYS
ago he called in a physician and the
physician gave him mild treatment
and he seemed to improve so rapidly
that he did not see the necessity of
again calling the physician. When DIR.
McShane visited the house on Tuesday
afternoon he found that Dennis was
broken out with the disease. However,
the case was so mild that there were
only a few splotches on his face to
show the presence of the disease. A
prompt quarantine was established.
Dennis at once told DR.. McShane that
he suspected that he had contracted
the disease from relative who had
eome 80 Klnasha from Milwaukee some
time ego. airs. William Bosse, who was
quarantined for the disease on Mon
day evening, had been one of the close
friends of the Dennis family and she
had visited at the house during the
visit of the Milwaukee man.
"There is no doubt but that both
Mrs. Bosse and Mr.. Dennis contracted
the disease the same time" said DIR.
McShane this morning. 81 have not
taken the matter up with the Milwau-
kee health board as 1 was advised that
the man who was here has entirely re-
covered from the disease and is back
at work again and it would probably
be very difficult for anything to be
done in the matter. I shall, however,
advise the Milwaukee officials of just
what has been discovered in Kenosha
and they may act as they see fit. All
the people at the Dennis home are
being perfectly quarantined and both
Dennis and Mrs. Bosse are giving every
possible aid to the officials in prevent
ing a spread of the disease
On Tuesday afternoon rooms in the
Frank school, where children from the
infected home had attended school,
were fumigated and many children who
attended school at the room have APP
peared for vaccination. In fact there
was an unusually heavy demand for
vaccination today and many people who
were not known to have been exposed
to the disease have barred their arms
in order to take the best possible pre-
caution against contracting the dis
ease. DIR. McShane is looking after
all of the people who visited the DEN
mis- home during the period that the
Milwaukee man was in Kenosha and it
is thought that all of them will submis
to vaccination without bubble.

ALIENS GET BALLOT AGAIN
Supreme Court Holds That Amendment
to State Constitution Limiting Ballot
to Full Citizens Was Not Legally
Adopted and Promulgated in 1908.

The city of Kenosha was sent back
to the old political conditions with
aliens holding the balance of power in
all Of its elections by the supreme
court Of the state on Tuesday when
that court handed down a decision
holding as invalid and null and void
the amendment to the state constitu-
ton which limited suffrage to citizens.
This amendment was adopted in 1908,
after years of fighting on the part of
citizens of the state and it went into
effect in December of 1912. The state
supreme court now finds that a mis-
take was made in not recording the
vote of the people on the amendment
and that for this reason it is inactive.
Some fifteen hundred men in Kenosha
who had formerly participated in cleo
tions in the city, but who had been de-
MED the right to vote under the amend
ment, will come back into their priv
leges again at the city election to be
held in April as anything that could
be done to put the amendment back in
to the constitution can not be done I'M
til long after the election is over.
The amendment must be passed again
by this session of the legislature, ap-
proved at second session and then
submitted to the people and in the
meantime the foreigners will be per-
mitted to vote just as soon as they
have taken out their first papers. Tt
is certain that this will result in humid
reds if not thousands, of names, once
stricken from the election rolls being
returned to them in Kenosha. In fact
Kenosha is more affected by the ac-
ton of the supreme court than any of
the cities of her class in the state as
it has long been known that the I'M
naturalized population in Kenosha was
greater in proportion to the population
of the city than even in Milwaukee.
Many people in the city were great
" disappointed when they found that
the amendment had been declared in
valid. There were some politicians
who were hilarious as they seemed to
believe that this action of the court
offered the way for them to get back
into power. The announcement that
the supreme court had given them
back the ballot was known early among
the foreigners and these men were
spreading their good news in the fac
tories and on the way to work this
morning. An examination of the
registration lists in Kenosha indicates
that there will be lot of names to be
added before the coming city election
and it will probably be necessary to
have a special registration.
There are hundreds of aliens who
have lived in Kenosha for one and two
years who have never taken out even
their first papers, but with the assur-
ance of the vote on the first papers it
is certain that these men will be sought
out by the politicians and that there
will be grand rush for them. It's
bad day for Kenosha.
