"For men must fight and women

office for volunteer knitters is open
from a. m. to 5 p. m. every day ex-
cept Sunday and applicants for regis
tration will be received with open arms.
Instructions and yarn will be furnished

And he went into a far country and
there wasted his substance in riotous
living The ancient parable was Civ
en- a modern setting at the Virginian
on Monday evening when Crane Will
bur was presented in the screen moral

usual tragedy results Attracted by
the glamor of "T1e Gay White Way''
he takes the "primrose path" that
leads to Wretchedness and ruin. In less
than q year he becomes a full-fedged
debauchee and forgets his sweetheart
of a better day. Married to a woman
that he cannot love, he pays the price
of youthful prodigality. Deserted by
his faithless wife he finds a little hour

No Special for Camp Douglas.

KeLosha patriots who were planning
to patronize the Red Cross excursion to
Camp Douglas are doomed to disap-
pointment, inasmuch as it has been i'm
possible for local officials to arrange
the special. The bitter truth about the
matter was brought to Chairman Terrell
in letter from F. FL. Trua1, to whom
had been delegated the task of secur-
ing the train.
The communication reads: Refer
ring to our conversation with regard to
an excursion to Camp Douglas, I have
gone into the matter extensively with
the Northwestern Railway Company
and it has been decided by this and
other railroads in Wisconsin TO insugu-
rate no special service in the state due
to insistent demands made upon them
by the National Council oe Defense to
| conserve coal, labor, and in fact every
thing that special train service would
require. Later on in case there is a
change in the attitude of the National
Council of Defense this decision may
be modified sufficiently to allow an ex-
cursion of this sort =
The action of the council is mani
testify death-knell for the special, but
people who were planning to show their
patriotism by going to Camp Douglas
can accomplish the same end just as
effectively by contributing the cost Of
a ticket to the Red Cross chapter The
money SO secured will be used to pur-
chase yarn for sweaters for the soldiers
and thereby become effective in en-
abling the Sammies to fight the white
cold of the French winter as well as
the red hot fire of German shrapnel.

Real Red Cross Rooms.

The new headquarters of the Keno
sha Red Cross chapter at the corner of
Main and Wisconsin streets will soon
be ready for occupancy. With only the
furnishing yet to do, the rooms have
assumed a suggestion of completion
highly gratifying to officials of the To-
cal branch. Everything that can in
any way make them efficient and at
tractive has been provided. Tables are
already installed and comfortable
chairs are promised Tor the near future.
The lighting facilities are ideal. With
windows on three sides of the room and
two skylights strained eyes can never
be attributed to Red Cross patriotism.
Arrangements have been made for
study classes too. A room has been
partitioned off in one corner of the new
quarters and here lecturers will address
their pupils with no interruption from
the women sewing or knitting in other
parts of the building. The arrange
ment is admirable and should insure a
new era in Red Cross work with the
opening of the new headquarters.

Gauze is Plentiful.

Despite the worldwide scarcity of
gauze the local Red Cross rooms now
have 5000 yards of the precious cloth
in the presses of the new headquarters.
This amount is sufficiently large to pro-
vide innumerable bandsges and thereby
make possible the continuation for an
indefinite period of the work of the
Kenosha branch in the preparation of
surgical dressings. The large supply
of gauze on hand here is tribute to
the foresight of Mrs. E. G. Theirs,
chairman of the work committee, who
realized the approaching "cloth fam
ine'' and provided against the "evil
hour" which has brought disaster to
Red Cross associations throughout the
United States

JUST A LITTLE PATRIOT.
Fair Haired Little Girl Sends Letter to
1.-The Lonsomist Soldier at
Camp Douglas.

She was just little girl, the kind Of
"little sister, that big, broad shout
dered brothers carry about on their
shoulders. She did not have any broth
er or sweetheart among the soldier boys
who went away from Kenosha to fight
the battles of the nation in France or
anywhere else that they might be sent,
but just the same she was patriot. She
wanted to help some soldier feel that
there was some one at home thinking
of him and she went into the postoffice
this morning and asked the clerk at
the general delivery window GLOW do
you send letter to a soldier9o The
clerk explained lot Of things about
mail to soldiers and the little GIRL pre-
scented to him the letter she had pre-
pared with great care eyes, but who
do you want it to go to-" the clerk
asked her. 81 don It know. any of the
names of the soldiers was her re-
Spouse, but I just want it to go to one
of them-one of them that hasn't any
one else here in Kenosha who wants to
write to him. I want to have soldier
boy somewhere in camp that 1 can write
to and tell him all about what is going
on down home here.'
When the letter went out half an
hour later it bore this address: To
the Lonesomest Member of Company M,
Fourth Wisconsin Infantry, Camp Doug
las, Wisconsin,, - and up in the other
corner there was this message: From
Little Girl, who wants to be patriotic
and helpful" It will be up to Cap
tain Dayton to decide who is to be the
steady correspondent of the little femi-
nine patriot in Kenosha.
