Over Four Hundred People Attend Meet

Patriotic Utterances at city Hall

Kenosha Elks paid tribute to patri-
otism and valor on Saturday night in
a great patriotic gathering at which
the members of Troop E of the cavalry
and Company M of the infantry were
the guests of honor. There was no
really set program for the Farewell. y
It was just designed to show the appre-
citation of the Elks for the men of Ke-
nosha who had volunteered to do the
nation S fighting. Men prominent in
the city and men who have been promi-
Dent in the work of the order mingled
their praises of the volunteers with men
who had served with that other army
Of the United States Z" the Grand Army
of the Republic in defense of freedom
in the great Civil War It was an in
spring patriotic evening in which the
citizen soldiers were given the front
seat in every feature and the boys gone
and going to the front are carrying
away with them many happy memories
OF the Elks and their, entertainment.
There was music and dancing, wonder

them the stuff heroes are made Of y
Not one Of them WINGED as he cap
tain gave the order to fall in'' and
all of them marched with firm step to
the train that would soon be whirling
them away to Camp Douglas and the
battlefelds of France
From the steps of coaches and the
windows of cars the Sammies waved
their last Goodbye = to relatives and
friends. Conspicuous among the
soldiers were Captain Coney and Lieu
tenants Steinert and Alexander Each
Of them wore the smile that won Il
come off" but in their eyes was a CLEAN
that said: 1--WE know what we re fac.
ing and realize our danger. Neverh q
less we III do what we can to save the
Stars and Stripes and to come back home
with honor to the folks we know and
love- On the platform soldiers and
civilians were shouting words of praise
and parting, or joining in a universal
cheer for the patriots, who were
no nobly answering the call Of country
and of God.
AS the bell of the train changed a
jangling warning the SINCE Band
struck pp the Marsellaise. The
soldiers in the coaches and the citizens
on the platform understood and barred
their heads in silent devotion to France
America S earliest and latest ally in
the cause Of Right. The tense silence
was broken suddenly by the whirr Of
wheels. The flags waved more wildly
than before, the band turned from the
"Marsellaise to "The Star Spangled
Banner and amid the cheers Of
friends who knew their valor, and
the tears of those they loved, the boys
were off for war.
The crowd watched until the last
curl of smoke had disappeared and
then silently dispersed AS the men
women, and children, went each thei1
several ways, there was a new light in
their eyes. They had experienced a
thrill which comes rarely to any and
never to some. They had seen heroes
pass and learned from the spectacle that
there is something in war that ennobles
something in war that inspires, some
thing in war that brings out in mer
and women alike all the latent patrio
tism and all the hidden courage, that
have made the world an altar-plact
for Liberty and Truth.

enlist in the great army of Freedom.
We see them part with those they
love.
"Some of them are walking for
the last time in quiet woody places
with the maidens they adore. We hear
the whisperings and sweet vows of
eternal love as they lingeringly part
forever.
"Others are bending over cradles
kissing babes that are asleep. Some
are receiving blessings of old men.
Some are parting with mothers who
hold them and press them to their
hearts again and again land say
nothing. Kisses and tears-tears and
kisses-divine mingling of agony
and joy.
And some are talking with
wives, and endeavoring with brave
words, spoken in the old tones to
drive from their hearts the awful
fear. We see them part.
eve see the wife standing in
the door with the babe in her arms
standing, in the sunlight sobbing
at the turn of the road hand waves
she answers holding high in her
arms the child. He is gone and
forever.
1--WE see them as they march
proudly away under the Haunting
flags, keeping step to the grand
wild music of war-marching down
the streets of great cities-through
the towns and across the prairies
down to the fields of glory to do and
to die for the eternal right.

Army at the age of fifteen years gave
to the boys the parting blessing of the
Grand Army "Our only regret is, "
he said, that we old men who are here
tonight cannot drop into step with you
and go again to fight beneath the stars
and stripes of Ole Glory"
The formal farewell from the Elks
was given by w. 7. MarIatt. E. l..
Grant spoke for the A F. f. w. He
declared that this wonderful organiza-
tion which has accomplished much in
relieving suffering of men on the
French front was going to take an
especial interest in the men who went
out from Kenosha and that their com
fort would always be a matter of deep
concern.
Mrs. Otis L. Trenary, speaking for
Mrs. E. G. Theirs, president of the Ke-
nosha branch of the American Red
Cross, declared that this great and pa
triotic body was ever ready to aid and
that it would follow the boys to the
most distant army camp with ministra-
tions bearing with them the love of the
people of Kenosha.
Captains Coney and Dayton gave
short responses after which the patri-
