the Arabian situation be entirely ac-

sary to the defense of the Suez canal,
has fallen into Turkish and Ara bian
hands, the problem which must be solv-
ed by the British in case they success
fully repel further incursions is in
deed serious.
In other sections of the near east the
tide of battle is huctuatng, but the in
tensity of the engagements is not mini
mixed by either of the belligerents in
this field of operations. Gravest fears
have been expressed in London for the
safety of the forces of Gen. Townsh end
at kut-el-Amara and those of Gen.
Aylmer, who is endeavoring to reach
his belea CURED countrymen. Turkish
forces have directed their chief atten-
ton to Gen. Aylmer. and seemingly
have been content to let lack of water
and provisions force the surrender of
Gen. Townshend at kut-el-Amara. Gen.
Aylmer last week was reported to have
been successful over the Turks in sew
eral engagements, but at the present
Juncture he is farther away from his
objective than at that time, CONSTANT
nople declaring that the Turks met
Gen. Aylmer's forces about twenty
miles east of Kut and inflicted losses
on the British totaiing 5000 dead. The
British were forced back. A subse-
quent attack at Menlarie is also said
to have cost the British troops dearly.
The situation for both Gen. Townshend
and Gen. Aylmer is considered critical
and is expected to continue so. because
the forces of these generals are vastly
outnumbered by the cooperating Turks
and Arabs.

of all claims of the enemy. The Cairo

Just what has tranSpired in the inter-

Owing to the poor means of commune

Three Years at the Willowbrook
Santorium Tuesday Night.

William J. Stuart, aged thirty-two
years, a resident of Kenosha for the
past three years and for some time en-
ployed at the Hotel Kenosha, died at
Willowbrook Sanatorium on Tuesday
evening after a short illness from tub
erculosis. He had been taken to the
sanatorium less than three weeks ago
and the disease had such a firm hold
on him that it was found impossible
to arrest the course. The deceased was
born in Vermont. He has an uncle
living at Philadelphia, and he is ex-
pected to arrange for the funeral.
Mr.. Stuart was member of the St..
Paul Council of the Knights Iof Column
bus. The funeral will be held from ST..

day morning with interment in ST..

AMENDoLA GOES TO PRISON.
Frank Amendola, Who Stabbed Fellow
Countryman, is Sentenced to a
Year in the State Prison.

Frank Amendola, arrested in June
of this year on charge of making a
murderous assault, with knife, on
Angelo Aniballi, pleaded guilty to a
charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm in the Circuit Court
on Tuesday afternoon and Judge Beld-
en- imposed a sentence Of a year in the
state prison at Waupun. A strong
plea was made for leniency for the
defendant as it was alleged that he
had strong provocation. 1t was as
serted that he believed that the man
he attacked had circulated stories de-
rogatory to his wife and that this was
the real cause of the assault. Aniballi
was not severely injured and he recov-
cred entirely from the slight wound.
Amendola was taken to the state prison
today.

by posterity. One of the most notable
of these was the first decision given
sustaining the idea that the Federal
Supreme Court may annul or revoke
a law made by Congress which by that
court is considered to be unconstitu-
tional, or that the State Supreme Court
may act similarly regarding state leg
islation. He said that Judge Marshall,
who made the decision almost a century
ago in the case of Marberry versus
Madison, was maligned, but that the
generations since have justified his
action.
The speaker is of the opinion that
other odds being equal, the poor man
usually gets the better of it in the
courts. He said that insofar as the
wealthy man is able to provide better
council he has an advantage, but that
the judge cannot be held responsible
for that.

CAN VOTE ON THE BORDER.
Half a Dozen Kenosha Men With the
Militia Will be Given Chance to
Vote by New Law,

Probably half a dozen Kenosha
men who left their jobs in Kenosha
factories to go with various companies
of the Wisconsin state militia to the
Mexican border will have chance to
vote at the national election in Novem-
Der. The legislature in special session
on Tuesday afternoon passed new
law giving the right of franchise to the
soldiers. There will be no red tape to
be followed out by local officials as
the new law provides that the vote
shall be collected by member of the
secretary of state's force. No special
ballots will be printed in this county.
The ballot for the soldiers will be a
state wide ballot with provisions for
writing in the votes of the soldiers for
members Of the legislature and county
officials in the various counties. It will
probably be several days after the cleo
ton before the result of the soldier
vote becomes known.

AID CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Committee In Formal Session Holds
That Field Is Broad Enough for Both
Orgnaizations-Lays Plans for An
nual Meeting Later in the Month.

AT the executive meeting Tuesday
afternoon the Kenosha Retailers Assoc.
citation decided that the Retailers AS
ISOLATION shall continue it's work as a.
separate and distinct organization, as
there are enough problems interesting
the retail merchant directly to warrant
its existence as a separate unit. How
ever, most of the retail merchants will
become members of the Chamber of
Commerce, and the organization will
cooperate with the new organization
IN every way possible. It has prae-
tleally been decided that the Retailers
shall have quarters with the Chamber
at the old Y. NJ. G. A. The Retailers
Association will have a secretary. am
assistant and its collector as in the;
past, and maintain its own treasury.
The decision of the executive board
will meet with the sanction of the
large proportion of the members of the
older association. While the Kenosha
retailers have been the most active
factors in the organization of the
Chamber of Commerce, the leaders in
the organization have held from the
first that to merge the two organiza-
lions would be a mistake. A large
number of the members of the Retail
ers' Association have given the as
surance that they will be glad to con-
tinue to pay dues to the old organi-
cation and give just as loyal support
to the new.
The credit bureau, the advertising
bureau and many other helpful features
of the work of the Retailers Associa-
ton will be continued just as before
ana it is certain that the Retailers will
take just as much interest in boosting
everything which is for the advance
ment of Kenosha. Undoubtedly, the
men who direct the organization will
also be controlling features in the
Chamber of Commerce, but the mem
bers of the executive committee hold
that there is plenty of room for both
Of the organizations.
The fifth annual meeting of the as-l
ISOLATION will be held at the HoteI
haywood, Thursday evening, Oct. 10Th.
A banquet will proceed the election
of officers and reports of officers cover
ing the association activities for the
past year. A president, vice president,
secretary and a treasurer are elected
at this meeting. This annual meet
ing is always an interesting one for
the members, and it is expected that
at least eighty reservations will be-
made for the dinner.
