SEEK NEGRO HoLD-Up MEN.
Police Search Freight Trains in Vain
to Capture Men Wanted for
Racine Robbery,

The police had busy time of it on
Tuesday night and early this morning
as every freight train which came into
Kenosha during the night was searched
by the local officers in an effort to Sc
cure the arrest of two negroes wanted
in Racine on charge of holding up
and beating hagman OF the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway company.
The robbery occurred just after eleven
% clock and the two hold-up men jump
ed on a south bound train. The search
in Kenosha brought nc results. Today
officers from Racine county are search
ing in the town of Somers hoping to
get some trace of the two men.

The rosy dream of the road boost
ers in the town of Pleasant Prairie to
issue bonds in the sum of ninety
thousand dollars and thus provide a
fund for the completion of the perma-
nent improvement of all roads OF the
state highway system in that town, is
not going to be realized and if bonds
are issued by the town for road work
following the coming spring election,
the amount will be considerably less
than thirty thousand dollars. Chief
Engineer A. r. Hirst of the Wisconsin
State Highway Commission on Tues
day afternoon notified the county
highway commissioner and members
of the Pleasant Prairie boosting com
mittee that under the law the town of
Pleasant Prairie had no right to bond
the county and the state for roads and
that the county and state would have
to be consulted in the matter.
Early this morning committee
composed of Richard A. Dowse, Wal
ter S. Dexter and County Clerk Rus
sell III. Jones went to Madison to con-
fer with the state highway commits
sion in regard to the bond issue. 1t is
stated in advance that the Pleasant
Prairie candidates for Office at the
.eleation m Tg ere not committed
to the plan Tor The bond issue and
they will be largely influenced in their
declaration of their platform in seeking
office by Che holdings of Chief En-
gineer Hirst and the state highway
commission.
Mr.. Hirst in his telephone communi-
cation on Tuesday insisted that the
town could not make any bond issue
which would bind the city, county and
state to help pay without first submit
ting the matter to a referendum vote.
If the town Of Pleasant Prairie issues
bonds for road work it is held that the
town must make provision to pay both
the principal and the interest on these
bonds It is certain that under such
holding the people of the town
would be unwilling to vote for the
ninety thousand dollars issue which has
been provided for in the petition.
The killing of the bond issue plan
has come as hard blow to the men
who are promoting the early compile
ton of the Sheridan Road through the
town of Pleasant Prairie. The mem
bers of the Pleasant Prairie EFGood
Roads" club are greatly interested in
the building of roads in the western
part of the town, especially the i'm
provement of the Milwaukee road and
the Wilmot road and the club was
originally organized with view of Sc
curing the improvement of these roads.
Il was originally proposed to issue
bonds for forty thousand dollars for
the work on these roads and the fifty
thousand dollars necessary to secure
the completion of the work on the
Sheridan Road was later consid-
GRAFTON.
Efforts will be made to have the
state highway commission prepare a
statement which will show just what
steps the town may take along the line
o. issuing bonds for road work 1t is
probable that this opinion will hold
that the town may issue only limit
co amount of bonds each year.
The question is to be the decidedly
interesting feature of the town meet
ing in Pleasant Prairie this year.

The war in Mexico win be over il
two weeks If Henry Johnson one o.
The Kenosha boys who went to Mexico
as a truck driver is good guesser
He has written letter to his mother
in which he states that 1900 Ameri
can soldiers are on the trail Of Villa
and that they expect to get him within
two weeks. Johnson is a member Of
the first truck company which wen
from Kenosha to the Mexican border
IN his letter to his mother he says il
part:
II am now down thirty miles in
Mexico with about six thousand
men ahead of me. I have not seen
a Mexican since I have been here.
1t is "a above and | sleep under
the truck at night. I am in no
danger at all. Villa is in the
mountains. We have $1,000 men
after him and they expect to get
him in two weeks. However it may
take two years. Villa has about
eight shots to man left, and he
will have to give up pretty soon.
We have about ninety trucks here
and they are run in trains of TWEEN
tyfve each with four guards on
each truck. l nave been within
forty-fve,m iles of the front. That
is as near as we get. The boys
from Kenosha are having some
great experiences and they will
have lot to tell when they get
back in Kenosha again.
Twenty-seven more trucks from the
plant of the Jeffrey company left Ke
nosha this morning ON a special trair
billed all the way through to Ell Past
and it is expected that they will be il
service on the border by the first o:
next week. The report from Washing
ton that Carranza has refused to per
NIT the use of the Mexican railway by
the American troops gives assurance
that more Kenosha trucks will be de
handed within the next few DAYS a.
it is the announced plan of the army
to operate number of truck train.
into Mexico With the supply o,
trucks that left this morning the army
will have some hundred and ffteel
trucks on the border 1t is estimated
that 800 more trucks will be needed a
once and it is certain that a lot Of
these will go from Kenosha. The Ke
nosha men who left Kenosha on Mon
day night will reach Ell Paso late tbi,
afternoon and they will probably wal
there for the supply of trucks before
they go into actual service. The re
port that the government will neeG
many more trucks for supply and am
munition trains has brought lot Of
interest in Kenosha and lot more
men are getting in training to 90 f
the border for service.
The Jeffrey company declined to dis
Gus probable orders for the govern
ment today declaring that it was I'M
derstood that no publicity was to b,
given out in regard to the orders from
the war department.

For a Greater Georgia.

In the campaign of publicity and development
which the Georgia Chamber of Commerce now has
under way there four definite and practical
aims: More farm settlers, more food crops. more
and better local markets, and more new industries.
Each of these objects is of material concern to the
Commonwealth and to every town and county
within its borders Their attainment means new
of productive power for the State and of pros
perity for all its citizens.
Less than one-third of Georgia's hfty-nne thou
sand square miles, greater than that OF
England and Wales combined, is under cultivation.
Belgium, with area not fifth as large as Geor-
ga s. has supported population nearly three times
more numerous than Holland, with an area
of only some twelve and half thousand square
miles, the greater part of which has been wrested
from the jealous arms of the sea, sustains popu-
laton of nearly six millions, whereas Georgia today
has fewer than three million people. Manifestly.
this State has touched merely the surface of its
productive resources and is utilizing meager frac-
tion or it's potential energy. Vast stretches of land
suited to agriculture or stock raising in waste
To turn these IDLE to profitable account, is
one of the objects of the State Chamber of Com
merce in its present publicity campaign.
Among the means the Chamber has adopted to
that end is the Georgia Product cars which have
been started tour of the entire Union; another
is the Georgia motion pictures which are being
shown far and wide throughout the country; still
that will appear in periodicals of national circula
ton. BY these and kindred enterprises the State
Chamber of Commerce is bringing Georgia's re-
sources and opportunities wildly to the notice of
millions of people throughout America and if duly
sustained these efforts inevitably will bring the
State an ever-increasing inflow of capital and pop
uation. .--a. ------.---.--. .....-
Let us remember that in securing desirable farm
settlers we are adding TO the States wealth and
fbo of tie OOld afII
such settlers. men of sturdy American stock who
will clear the jungle and build homes and draw
new treasures from the soil. The county to which
such settlers come will thrive as never before; its
towns and rural districts alike will advance at
auickened pace. Whatever it may contribute to
the State Chamber for the furtherance of such
plans will be, repaid a thOusandfold in increased
business and growth.
Georgia's need of more food crops and of better
facilities for the home marketing of such is
too obvious to call for extended comment The en-
riching effect of industries is equally apparent
Suffice it that the State Chamber of Commerce is
working through well-considered, well-organized
methods to accomplish these ends in behalf of the
entire Commonwealth. AS a matter of generous
patriotism and enlightened selfinterest, every COM
munity in the State should enlist in this broad
campaign.

The Danish West Indies.

The question of Governments purchasing
the Danish West Indian islands has been revived.
Within themselves these bits of seagirt land would
he of no appreciate worth to the United States,
but as an additional means of protection for the
Panama Canal and a further safeguard to the
Monroe Doctrine they would be peculiarly valuable
ST Thomas Island, the most important OF the
three has an excellent harbor fronting the highway
to the Caribbean and the Canal. AS naval base it
would buttress the position which already hold
in Porto Rico. Furthermore its purchase by the
limited States would prevent its transfer to Germany
or anv other European Power and thus would
avert the possibility of disquieting and dangerous
issues 1t is suspected that Germany has an eye
on the Danish West Indies and would welcome
opportunity to acquire them Any such event
would be repugnant to the spirit of the Monroe
Doctrine which though not intended to dispossess
European nations of land already held by them in
this hemisphere is opposed to the extension of Eu
ropean suzerainty in the New World either by con-
quest purchase.
In 1865 the United States offered Denmark
seven and a half million dollars for the islands,
and again in 1902 offered five millions. Both
times however the projected deal fell through, in
the latter instance, it is said because of adverse
German pressure exerted the Danish court. Re-
cent dispatches from Copenhagen intimate that
favorably the sale of the islands provided salts
factory price is offered. If the United States
acquire these strategic stations at a reasonable
cost it seems that matter of national security
and advantage it ought to do so,

The furious drive against Verdun marks it as
the Kaisers long awaited offensive in the west.
The Germans, who now are said to be WITHIN nVe
and half miles of the fortress claim the capture
of six outlying villages together with ten thousand
or more French troops. Behind such an attack
there are evidently extensive preparations and far
reaching designs. For many-weeks past German
onslaught upon the Allies western front has been
avnected but il was looked for toward the north,
with Channel port as it's objective, rather than in
the region where il actually has developed. The
recent plunges against the British lines at Tpres
now appear to have been tentative movement,
feeling-out of the enemys strength; and the Drlef
ness of the assault indicates that no particularly
weak spots were found. But the Verdun drive is
really formidable and sustained. On this offensive,
it seems the Germans are stalking their last nope
of crushing France.
How far they will succeed or fail, only the event
itself can tell Press dispatches from Paris and
London assert that the withdrawal of the French at
some points to their second lines of defense is
sign of good generalshp rather than of weakness
and that profting by earlier experiences, the
French now rarely hold their advanced trenches
strongly but invite the enemy to assault in masses,
fins sntalinp upon him the heaviest losses posi-
ble Such explanations, however, do not minimize
the importance of the German gains. battle of
high consequence is in progress and to the extent
that the Germans sweep are thrown back,
the larger fortunes of the at its present stage
will be determined.
Tf Joffre's men can repeat the history OF the
Marine the day of great Teuton offensives probably
will be over and thenceforward the Kaiser will try
only In hold what he has won. On the Verdun
battle therefore, may turn the future character
and development of the war.
