THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

To q considerable extent this has been
another eventful week in the European
war. While the Russian advance has
not made much it any progress there
has been some sanguinary fighting in
Galicia. The italian campaign appears
to have developed into an artillery duel.
The Bulgar frontiers have
been the scene Of some severe conflicts
with successes for both sides but moth.
ing decisive for either.
Greece seems to be in political chaos,
Bulgarians are within her borders and
taking territory, The French and Eng.
lish appear to be assuming many of the
powers of the regular government and
arresting German agents whom they call
spies.
One of the greater contests of the war
has occurred since Sunday on the Somme
front. Probably 250, 900 men have been
engaged on each side and include the
flower of the German army. The fight
ing was on front of about thirty miles
and the entente allies progressed from
half to a whole mile at most points. The
battle is still raging at many places.
The allies now claim that they have sue.
cseded in gaining practically all of the
second line of German trenches for
which they started on the first of July.
1t is quite probable that this drive of
the ententes has Two objects; one to gain
ground in front of them and the other
to prevent the Teutons from sending re-.
lnforcements from France to the Austri-
an. Hungarian armies which are undoubt.
edly being hard pushed on the long line
in the east, and which was so largely
extended last week by the entrance of
Roumania into the war.
There may or may not be some slgnifi-
canoe in the comparison of the drive of
the Germans on Verdun and the drive
Of the French-English on the Somme.
Both drives were successful at the start
and each gained about the same amount
of territory. But the Germans notwith-
standing most terrific assaults for sever.
al months were not able to pass certain
line and later news is that the French
are not only on the aggressive there but
have made some substantial gains.
On the other hand, the French-Eng-
lish forces on the Somme who began on
the. first of July have boen slowly advan-
cling most of the time since in spite of
very strong resistance, and as we have
said. during the last three days have
made avery substantial advance along
wide front,
1t would look as if General Joffrie be-
lieved that the time has come when he
should change his tactics of defense to
those of offense. That he believes that
the Teutons are about exhausted and
that the time to squeeze them is now.
We are not trying to say whether his
conclusions are right or wrong, but just
noting what seems to be apparent, that
Joffre thinks so.
All things point however, to most
vigorous clashing of the immense armed
forces within the nextlfew months and
that the watchfully waiting period will
develop into the most desperate fight
ing Of the war along all the long lines.
That is the real situation Of all the ma.
tions at war after two years Of drainage

somewhat Modified his disappoint-
ment. Then, too, he had one soft
spot in his heart Many mile away,
visited only occasionally through the
years, but cherished, idolized, his
stepdaughter lived a quiet, happy life
in a peaceful haven where he had be-
slowed her. She had been like a real
daughter to his dead wife-the only
golden thread in the warp and wool
of his stern life.
It was almost a year to the day
after his escape that Eldred Ware
ham, pursuing a lonely country road,
paused before a typical corners tav-
ern. Twelve months had good deal
changed his appearance, due mainly
to the hirsute appendages that well
covered his face. He had become an
aimless wanderer. He was footsore
and penniless. He entered the place
to find it's proprietor half asleep in
his chair.
81 just want to rest for a few min
utes," was his plea and the publican
nodded agreeably, for he was glad of
company. The evident responsibility |
of the casual visitor seemed to i'm
press him. After a few moments of !
desultory study of Wareham he spoke |
out:
"I reckon you haven't much cash, |
nor a job?"
you are doubly right" was the
blunt admission.

queer case! About a week ago a like |
ly young fellow came along on a
farmers wagon. He got, off to get a |
drink. The more he got the more he |
wanted. He wouldn't go on to his |
destination wherever that might be. |
He's now down with the horrors in |
his room upstairs. We called a doc |
tor, but he says the young fellow |

said Wareham eagerly.
Never was there a better nurse,
but the ministrations of Wareham
proved of no avail. The patient took
a great liking to Wareham They
became as brothers, and he told him
the story Of his life.
He had been a reckless, riotous fell
low from bOyhoOd. He was an or
phan and brought up by a high
church dignitary in England. The
love of drink seemed born in him, he
became a confirmed dipsOmaniac and
finally his uncle had cast him off. He
told him he never wished to see him
again, and as a last chance he gave
Alan Moore a letter to an old friend,
an aged clergyman in America. If
he behaved himself this man might
look after him. Moore was provided
with money. He had fallen by the
Wayside and was now dying.
81 am not going to live he de-
clared; bury me without a name"
Eldred Wareham was strangely
drawn to his patient. He told his own
story. It drew them closer together.
When Moore died Wareham saw to it
that he was decently buried. Moore
had told the tavern keeper to turn
over to Wareham what remained Of
his money. He had given to Ware
ham some papers he had concealed
on his person.
1t was two years later when Robert
Dale left his prison duties for the first
vacation of years. He was in fine fet-
tie. He was about to see the step
daughter he loved and whom he had
not seen for nearly three years. He
carried in his pocket a notification
that on the first Of the coming month
he was to be promoted to the highest
office at the prison within the gift of
the state, at a salary almost princely.
Dale arrived at Hopeton to be
greeted joyously by Mary Dale. It
was the third day after his coming

LEFT SILVER AND JEWELS
Burglars Who Jimmied Their Way Into
the Rear of the House Were Evidently
Looking for Cash Only - Nothing
of Value Is Missing.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. Mark Hansen, who
reside at the corner of South and Elk
change streets, returned home Sunday
morning after spending ten days with
relatives in Greenville and Detroit,
Mich, and when they reached their
home they had an unexpected welcome
They found the front door partially
open and when they got inside the
house they found it overturned from
cellar and attic. Burglars had enter
ed their home during their absence
and while the loot which the burglars
secured must have been very small, the
thoroughness of the job was one that
appealed strongly to the police.
The burglar or burglars had evident
ly made their way into the house by
forcing window leading to the base
ment. Once in the basement they
found a stove poker and using this as
q jimmy they forced their way into
the kitchen of the house. The men
must have worked with deliberateness
and system, going from one room to
another. Burnt matches Uttered the
floors in every room of the house and
every drawer which had a lock on it
had been jimmied and the contents
strewn about the floor. The rugs had
been rolled up from the floor and even
coverings of the tables removed. It is
evident that the burglars went to the
house looking for money and that they
were interested in nothing else. In
several of the drawers were valuable
pieces of jewelry, but these were
thrown on the floor and left there.
There was silverware in the dining room
but this was thrown upon the table
but not taken. The men left moth
ing behind them but the trail of
burnst matches to serve as a cIew
for the police officers.
No one had been at the Hansen
home after they had left for Michigan
until they returned on Sunday morn
ing and it is possible that the burglary
was committed more than week ago.
The police made an examination of
the trail of the burglars but declared
that they saw no way to find the
guilty parties. After careful ex-
animation Of all the rooms in the
house Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen reported
to the police that they had found
nothing missing.

Old Resident of the Town of Somers
Died at the Home of Her Son on

two years, widow of the late John
Tennessen and one of the oldest and
best known of the pioneer women of
the town of Somers, died at the home
Of her son, Henry Tennessen on the
Lake Shore road just after eight
O'Clock Sunday evening. Mrs. Ten
nessen had been in feeble health for
many months and death came as
natural breaking down due to old age.
Mrs. Tennessen was native Of Ger
many, but she came to this county in
1853 and settled on the farm in Som
ers where she had since resided. She
was an active worker among the women
of st. George church for many years.

Society and the Third Order of the
Congregation and gave much of her
time to church and charitable work.
She is survived by five children, j. B.
Tennessen of Adrian, Mich; Mrs. Pet
err Steinbach of Kenosha; Andrew
Tennessen of Kenosha; FL. P. Tennes-
sen and Henry Tennessen of the town
of Somers. She is also survived by

the congress has ever held, said Mrs.

eve are having new parent-teacher
associations throughout the state make
application for membership frequently
and I believe there are at least three
times as many allied societies now as
there were a year ago.
"Outside of Milwaukee, which of
course has most, La Crosse leads in
numbers of allied associations. with
nine. Last year La Crosse had but
four. Waukesha had one last year and
now has four, and so the story goes.
Kenosha should rank equally with La
Crosse for although it has actually but
seven societies, nine schools are repre-
sented. The Weiskopf- Gillett Parent
Teacher association represents the
Weiskopf, Gillett and Ropeville
SCI ools. -
Mrs. Tremper said she had had a let
ter from an organization of parents
and teachers in Superior within day
or SO asking if she would give them
information as to allying with the Wis
consin Congress of Mothers.

RURAL SERVICE RESUMED.
Postofiee Department Names Two
More Carriers for Rural Routes
and They Start Work Today.

Rural carrier service on routes
numbers one and two of the Kenosha
Office was resumed this morning with
Oscar johnson acting as carrier on No.
l and George Willems on No. 2. These
two men were named as carriers by
the bureau of rural mail service late
Saturday afternoon, their appointment
being telegraphed to the postmaster.
The two men declared their willing
ness to accept the appointments and
they got out for their first trip early
this morning loaded down with the
accumulated mail of two days. With
these appointments all routes out of
Kenosha are now being served. Both
of these men had taken the civil
service examinations for rural carriers
and while they had not been the high
est on the list both had high grades
and it is thought that they will make
excellent carriers. It will probably
take several days for them to become
accustomed with the work as neither
has had any experience in the delivery
department of the postofice.

DEATH OF OTTO F. BUswELL.
Pioneer Resident of the County Died
at His Home in Somers on Sat
urday Following Heart Attack.

Otto F. Boswell, one of the best
known residents of Kenosha county,
died at his home in the town of Som
ers, at seven O'Clock Saturday even
ing. Death, which was due to heart
disease, came very suddenly and the
announcement was a great shock to his
many friends. Mr.. Boswell had been
confined to his bed for about a week,
but his condition had not been of such
nature as to cause any alarm among
his relatives. DR.. Buchan, of Union
Grove, was In attendance and gave
the case every possible attention.
Mr.. Boswell was born in Somers, Ke-
nosha county, October 5, 1858. His
parents, now deceased, were Moses G..
and Lucy Jane Boswell, pioneer set
tiers OF Southern Wisconsin. His en-
tire life, with the exception of five
years during which time he was en-
ployed by the J. I. Case Threshing Ma
chine Company of Racine, has been
spent in Kenosha county. He was
considered one of the leaders in the
agricultural field and owned the large
farm where he lived. In addition to
his farming interests, he ran thresh-
ing outfit for many years, which gave
him wide and favorable acquaint-
ance throughout the entire county.
Mr.. Boswell, though not a politician,
always took deep interest in town
government. He held strongly to the
principles of the Republican party, but
II town elections his efforts were ever
exerted in the interest of men of char
acter and ability. Believing firmly in
clean government, his support could
never be secured by the INSCRIPTIONS
office seekers. His high ideals along
the line of clean living won the re-
spect of all who knew him and to his
numerous friends his death comes as
personal sorrow. The deceased
leaves a widow and six children to
mourn his loss. His children are: r.
win c., Mrs. Norman P. Shearer, Mrs.
Frank E. Rhodes, Oscar O., Hazel and
Roy B. Boswell. Other living relatives

LITTLE MILK BEING SHIPPED.
Kenosha County Producers Sticking to
Their Agreements With the
Producers Association.

Little milk is being shipped from
Kenosha county to Chicago today and
most of the members of the Milk Pro
ducer's Association in this county are
sticking to the agreement made with
the association. Many Kenosha county
men have made contracts with small
dealers in Chicago to buy the milk
from the farms here and this is being
sold at the rate demanded by the
shippers. It is said that few of the
dairy farmers in the county have sign
ed contracts with the bottling plants
for the year. P. 81. Tobin, the direc-
tor of the association for this county,
declared that he had every reason to
believe that the Kenosha county
shippers would hold out and refuse to
deliver milk in Chicago until the price
demands for the summer months was
met by the big wholesale milk dealers
there In the meantime the supply of
milk in Chicago is getting very short.

BACK FROM MEXICO.
William Gross Declares That Kenosha
Men are Being Well Taken Care
of in Army Service.

William Gross, one of the Kenosha
men who went with the first Jeffrey
Truck Unit to Mexico for service in
the army truck trains, was recalled to
Kenosha on account of the illness Of
some of his relatives and he is now
back ON his old bench at the Jeffrey
factory. He brought no romantic
stories of the life on the border, but
declares that all Of the Kenosha boys
are being kept busy. They are not
seeing any of the actual warfare as
the truck trains are not being sent to
the fighting border. Gross declared
that the men were being well cared
for at the army headquarters and that
most of them were enthusiastic over
the service in Mexico. Charles Hop
kins, another one of the drivers who
went south with the trucks, is also re-
turning to Kenosha. His health will
not stand the Mexican climate. He is
expected to reach home late today
or early Tuesday.
