An Unpleasant Duty

One of the most unpleasant features
of newspaper work is that occasionally
one must say things that are not pleas
ant to those whom it hits. Almost in
variably parties becoming involved in
any difficulty will call at the news.
paper office and ask that their names
be omitted from the item referring to
it, So far as the editors are person
ally concerted they would be only toe
glad to comply with the request, but
they owe duty to the public, and
consequently they cannot conscien-
tionsly do what is the easiest and
pieasantest for them.
The fear of publicity is one of the
greatest foes of crime. Many a man
might be enticed to stray from the
path Of righteousness occasionally
were it mot for the fear of its beeom-
ing public through the newspaper,
Thus if newspaper negleets to give
publicity to news Of that kind it is
failing sadly in its duty to the public.
The matter of what shall and what
shall not be published must be left to
the editor. He must shoulder the re-
sponsibility and it must be left to him
to determine what the public should
and what it should not know.-Man-
itoWoc Herald.

AUSTRIAnS SEEK
FIRST PAPERS NOW
Continued from page u

German born who may fall under the
distinction of alien enemies. In recent
years and just before the opening of
the war, large number of Austrians
came into Kenosha Many of these
men still claim allegiance to the Aus
trian Emperor and have not declared
even their intention to become citi-
zens. Few of them have their appli-
cations for citizenship.
Formal rules against Austrians as
alien enemies" have not as yet been
issued by the federal authorities, but
it is expected that these regulations
will be issued within the next two or
three weeks and that the restrictions
proposed will be indentical with those
proposed for German born residents who
have not been naturalized. Some three
hundred and fifty aliens permits were
issued to Germans in Kenosha. It is
thought that a thousand permits will
TRANS who would fall under the federal
ruling.
The Austrians have been regarded
as excellent Workmen and many of the
manufacturing concerns would find
themselves badly handicapped if they
were forced to get along without the
labor of these men. For the most part
these men have kept quiet during the
war and those who have had anything
to say have shown a bias toward their
adopted country rather than to their
fatherland. AT the outbreak of the war
more than forty Austrians from Ke-
nosha returned to that country for
army service, but since that time the
Austrians have been deaf to appeals to
return. Many of them have not de-
clared their allegiance to this country
have bitterly protested against German
domination of the Austrian Court and
have given this as their reason for
declining to return to Austria for army
service.

ITALIANS MAY
SERVE IN ARMY
Declaration of War In This Country
May Result In Waving of
Treaty Rights by italy.

Kenosha Italians who have not de-
clared their intention to become citi-
zens of the United States, may yet be
subject to service in the armies of the
United States. Angelo Cerminaria of
Milwaukee, italian Vice Consul for this
district in Kenosha, today declared that
he had been advised that the Italian
government may waive treaty rights
which would make it possible for these
men to be selected for service.0 The
declaration brought an entirely differ
emit view of this matter to the italian
government. have no official notice
to this effect, but have been advised
that Italy may withdraw all protest
against Italians being called for serv-
ice in the armies Of this countr- -
Efforts were made to have many
Italians sent back to Italy to fight
in the Italian armies, but the Consul
declared today that it had been impos-
sible to find way to provide trans
portation for such men.

Samm1eS on flanders Fields.
1t is fairly certain that twenty-four
American soldiers on the firing line in
France will be thankful for the ex-
istence of the Jewish Ladies Whist
Club in Kenosha, for today an order
was sent whereby through the gener-
osity of the Kenosha society, twenty
four smoke parcels will start on their
way to as many American soldiers.
The contribution, which amounted to
six dollars, was made through the Ke-
nosha Evening News Smoke Fund, and
each package will contain an addressed
and stamped post card whereby the
soldier may send written thanks for
the gift. The money for the smokes
has been obtained in series Of the
meetings of the club as each member
brings small contribution each time
for the soldiers benefit. This will
probably be q start on several
similar subscriptions to be made by
the local club.

Some kind hearted woman has sug-
gested union church services in Keno
sha in order to conserve coal. Most
congregations find it hard enough to
get along with their own members
without taking on lot of other de-
nominations. Of course, if it comes
to the point that the churches must
be merged the government will find a
way to merge them, but let's keep
the church and state apart just as
long as we can.

Mrs. Mary Grasser, the wife of n
G. Grasser and a well known resident
of Kenosha, died early this morning at
her home on North Lyman street after

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Jentges. She was married to n. G.

People in the city want to know
just why that new booster pump was
not working at the barracks fire. 1t
might be a real pertinent thing for the
Police and Fire Commission to make it
its duty to find out. A booster pump
that does not work at a fire is not of
great value to the city. Splendid per-
formances in tests on the lake front do
not cut insurance rates. It's the per-
Torrance at the fire that counts.

Secretary Of War Baker must at
least be given credit for being fair
with the people. He is holding out no
roseate promises of an early victory
over Germany. He's not sending out any
Fourth of July victory stories now,
but is dealing in hard facts when he
declares that Germany is today a
greater menace to the world than she
has been at any time in the past two
and half years.

 All inquiries respecting the form ation of chapters, branch chapters and auxiliaries in these states should be addressed to the New Orleans headquarters. so that the business of the Gulf division will be taken care of promptly. A com plete campaign will be inaugurated in the Gulf division to inspire the people of the five states with thorough understanding of Red Cross work, what it means for the soldiers and sailors of the United States and for the families of men who are serving their country.
 The work of the Red Cross. as regards civilian relief, will also be laid before the public and informa- tion will be spread broadcast as to how every man, woman and child in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and Arkansas may help in the mighty work of the humane arm of the federal government.
 All persons who desire to volun- teer for service in any department of the Red Cross should write to the New Orleans headquarters. Any organizations of women in these states that wish to form either chapters, branch chapters, auxiliaries or working units, can receive explicit directions by com municating with the New Orleans headquarters.
 Broad steps have been planned whereby raw materials necessary for hospital use will be shipped at cost to Red Cross units in the five states named so that women, otherwise debarred from helping, may profitably employ their time for the nations welfare.

Prepare to Save Food and Feed.

Construction of storage houses for the conservation of food prod ucts is being urged on all farmers by the government as one of the most effective ways by which the nation can derive full benefit from the enormous agricultural outturn expected this year to meet the war demands of the country and it's al lies
 Aroused by reports showing the tremendous was which has oc- cured in the past through neglect, the United States Department of Agriculture has launched a de- termined campaign to this end It is sought to impress os growers the necessity of not only producing an adequacy of food crops, but of placing them, after they have been taken from the field, in dry houses where they will not decay through exposure of the weather.
 All manner of foods are included in the governments plea on the necessity for safe storage.
 Construction of tremendous number of silos during the ap- preaching summer and early fall months is expected to result from the food conservation movement inaugurated by the federal govern ment at the beginning of the war.
 Advices received from all parts of the South indicate that it is be- ing impressed on farmers as new CT before that the conservation of stock food means the conservation of food for the people.
