Or Worse.

Some of the stories of the sufferings
of state guardsmen while doing duty
at the front, or on the way to the
front, are difficult to characterize in
any printable terms.
For instance, there is the story Of
Illinois cavalry at Brownsville, with
about one hundred horses in the whole
regiment, with clothes adapted to serv-
ice in Alaska while the Texas tempera-
ture romped around the hundred mark,
Wading in mud and slush without rain
coats or army shoes, forced to go out
and dig bitches to keep the stream out
of their tents for want Of flooring and
subjected to practically every discom-
fort one can imagine as they prepared
to fight the enemy with machine
guns bought by popular subscription
in Chicago.
And then, there are the boys from
an eastern state, permitted to leave
their train at Cleveland the other day
after being without food of any kind
for thirty-two hours, and compelled to
buy their own rations.
These are mere samples. The troops
are neither properly clad, properly
equipped, properly fed nor properly
transported. They are improperly TAX
en- care of in every way. And service
which, at the worst, should merely be a
trife uncomfortable, is made as danger
Gus to life and health as actual war.
Nobody need deceive himself on that
point. The dangers which the state
guardsmen are required to encounter
on the border are practically as great
as those which the British soldiers are
facing on the French front; because the
British have mastered the sanitary
problem, and tempered the men by
degrees. Though the presidents pres
ent war is bloodless, it will number its
victims just the same.
And for all this criminal incom-
potency who is to blame? Doubtless in
each case some subordinate officer will
have to shoulder the responsibility
But the people will make no mistake
if they demand an accounting from
the men higher up.-Wausau Record
Herald.

Mr.. Nash never hired a brass band
to tell people that he was coming. He
is not OF that kind. In fact, there are
a lot OF engineers whose names appear
more prominently in the motor journals
but IN the big financial offices where
merit IS recognized without the aid Of
a phonograph to proclaim it the name
of Mr.. Nash is pretty well known. He
has been doing lot of things for other
people and now, according to his own
statement he is going to do a little
personal manufacturing.
When a big motor company over in
Michigan needed the attention of real
surgeon along manufacturing lines, the
financial man called in DR.. Nash. He
diagnosed the case, and prescribed the
treatment and the patient is today one
Of the most robust creatures Of the
great world of motor manufacture.
When a big financial agency decided
that the General Motors Company need
ed a real man at the head, it picked out
Mr.. Nash. just consulting the quota
tions of leading industrial stocks will
reveal the fact that his cure for this
company was pretty close to what was
needed.
Mr.. Nash comes to Kenosha expert
enced in lot of lines. He has learned
the motor game from the gate leading
into the work shop up to the office of
the president. He has spent some time
In just learning what was the real thing
that the motor industry needed. The
world has accorded him the verdict of
being complete success. There ism t
any question but hat out Of the wealth
of his experience he is going to find the
way to make the Thomas B. Jeffrey
Company plantNin Kenosha one of the
great motor plants Of the nation. Ke-
nosha is fortunate to have chance to
we'd her advantages as manufacturing
center to lis experience as a manufac-
turer and the result should prove one
eminently satisfactory to both parties.
Other manufacturers in Kenosha feel
in the coming of Mr.. Nash that they
have secured a tower of strength and
a man who will contribute much to
make Kenosha not great manufacture
ing center in the middle west but the
greatest manufacturing center in that
great district.

The sale of the Jeffrey Plant.


By far the biggest event in the re-
cent history of Kenosha was the sale
of the Jeffrey plant on Thursday. What
this sale is going to mean is another
thing that Kenosha people are vitality
interested in. The name of Jeffrey has
had a lot to do with the recent growth
of Kenosha as manufacturing center
and the same name has been prominent
in a lot of movements to make Kenosha
a better town.
The sale Of the plant brings its re-
grets. It is the dropping of a family
name from a little family of manufac-
turers which numbered among them,
men who really did things. There were
the Aliens, the Simmons, the Yules, the
Coopers, the Bains and the Frosts and
from the east, as a sort of a Yankee
cousin relation, came the Brokers and
the Goes
There was a sort of feeling Of broth
erliness among them all which meant a
lot to Kenosha. Thomas B. Jeffrey, the
| founder of the Jeffrey plant, had faith
in Kenosha and it's future and he built
wisely the foundations of a great indus
try. When he passed his mantle on to
his sons, he passed with it regard for
the future Of Kenosha which made the
sons mighty desirable citizens.
Kenosha manufacturers never were
afraid Of the cars and the recent
history of the city just bristles with
the story of men who did things in the
industrial lines in Kenosha. Doing big
things, building bigger for the future
and building with sound conservatism
had featured the management Of the
Jeffrey Company under the guiding
hands Of Thomas B. Jeffrey, Charles T.
Jeffery and Harold w. Jeffrey.
The Jeffrey plant was regarded IS a
fixture in Kenosha. Possibly the name
had not been in the city directory as
long as some Of the other names, but
in recent years it had been in just as
black type and it was found on the list
of every movement for the advance
ment of the city, It is interesting to
know that the Jeffrey name is going to
be continued in Kenosha and even that,
though they may not hold so active a
part in the manufacturing world Of the
city as they had in the past, the Jeffrey
brothers are going to be residents of
Kenosha and continue their interest in
the city.
With the sale of the plant comes the
addition Of another name to the list of
men who are going to make Kenosha
famous. Charles W. Nash, late of Flint
Detroit, Pontiac and New York, the
most notable figure in the automobile
world today, comes to Kenosha. It is
compliment to Kenosha to know that
Mr.. Nash has selected this city as a
scene for his personal labors in a great
Held. The announcement brings notice
OF the wedding of a real opportunity
with a man who is able to recognize
and accept such an opportunity.

WASHINGTON. March 31.-Presi-

again today the crisis which has de-
veloped with Germany as a result OF
the Kaiser's apparent renewal OF il
legal submarine activities. With a
mass OF evidence at hand the cabinet
faced a somewhat muddled problem.
