HONOR DEAD BY GIVING.
A. F. f. w. of United States Have
Sent Out Thousands of Leaflets
Asking Aid as a Memorial.

Sent OuC InOuSanuS or LeaneJS
Asking Aid as Memorial
Will you not give for the aid Of the
stricken soldiers who have been fight
ing your battle and my battle in France
and now are languishing in the forlorn
hospitals there? This is what the Ke-
nosha committee of the American Fund
for the French Front asks of every
Kenoshan.
And it asks that a special gift be
made on Memorial Day, a gift conse-
Grated to our dead soldiers, given as a
token of our love and respect for them,
to help make endurable the lives of
these other soldiers who are suffering
today what our fathers and grandfath-
ers suffered fifty years ago, to save our
union.
A little leafet, on the front page Of
which are crossed the American and
French flags, says: Let US honor our
dead on Decoration Day by helping the
living the thousands in France who
have been suffering untold misery for
almost three years. Send to headquar-
tiers something useful to rehabilitate a
household bereft Of everything, but
send only new articles. = A form is
also provided for sending money to be
used for buying something to aid some
destitute home in France.
Somewhere in France the leafet
reads, "there is urgent need for new
clothing Of all kinds and sizes for men,
women and children. y Tn the list of
necessities are named bed linen and
blankets, surgical supplies, kitchen
utensils, carpenters tools and farming
implements.
Either Mrs E. Il. Grant or Mrs. Zal-
mon G.. Simmons will receive any con-
tributions which it is desired to send.
With the increasing realization of
people in this country for the impera-
tive need of help for the fighting line,
more workers are responding to the ap-
peal of the local A. f. F. w. commit
tee, and still more are needed. The
A. F. F. w. rooms in the Chamber of
Commerce building are open every
Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a. m. to
8 p. m, except the two hours between
noon and clock for luncheon. All
who care to help are cordially invited
to come.

THEY LOST THEIR PURSE.
Do You Remember the Esprit of TIC"
in the Patriotic Parade Which
Made Such a Hit?

The two old men who marched in the
spirit Of 1852 with the Simmons
Company, and who flied and drummed
in a way which made an impression
even on that day when there was so
much to see and hear, were really and
truly veterans of the Civil War and
counted something over seventy years
In age, and the younger one who played
the part of drummer boy was a vet
eran of the Spanish-American War.
These men were paid $25 for their ser
vices that day, and they surely earned
it for they tramped the long length of
the line of parade with never a com
plant at the hardness of the cobble
stones nor the chilly winds They in
tended to give value for the money
that was paid them and they did.
And then, before they got home,
they were touched'' by one of the
light-fngered gentry which it was
hoped would keep out Of Kenosha that
day but who apparently appeared. We
hope it may have been on the train on
the return trip. The trio lost not only
what was paid them but The money
given them for expenses for the trip
up and baeli to Chicago for the three
and for the costumes.
IF anyone has desire to contribute
anything to help in making up the loss,
communicate with E. w. McMullen of
the Simmons Company.

COMPROMISE ON BREAD Fight
Council Committee Will Recommend
the Delivery Of Rye Bread in Bun.
dies Rather Than individual Pack
ages-More Help for Health Dept.


Discussing big problems Of public
health The members Of the Kenosha
Board of Health and members Of the
council belonging to the Judiciary and
health and sanitation committees, and
the city attorney, were in session for
three hours at the council chamber on
Monday evening. They took out and
threshed out the whole question Of
wrapping bread; they heard the de-
mand for this ordinance and its en-
forcement from the members of the
Board of Health; they heard the OBJ
jections Of bakers to it; they discussed
lack Of proper quarantine regulations
in the city, the failure of physicians
and parents and guardians to do their
part in aiding the city in the battle
against contagion. When the whole
discussion was over the members Of the
health board and the council agreed
That quarantine regulations in the city
must be strengthened and that the
bread wrapping ordinance is to be
enforced in some modified form. The
form that tho ordinance is to take is
to be suggested to the Common Coun-
Gil at the meeting on next Monday
evening. 1t is probable that the pro-
posed amendment will give the
bakers chance to deliver rye bread
wrapped in bundles. All white bread
offered for sale in the city must
be wrapped in keeping with the
provisions of the ordinance.
Bakers who appeared at the meeting
declared their willingness to meet
such a provision of the ordinonce and
insisted that it would not interfere
to any great extent with the delivery
of their products.
The question of insufficient quaran-
tine regulation in the city was dis
russed at great length by the members
of the two. city boards.
1t was admitted that many cases of
contagious disease had escaped quaran-
tine on account of the failure of par
ents and guardians to call physicians
to attend stricken children and on ac-
count of the fact that in some cases
diseases were not promptly disagnos-
ed. In order to bring a better condi-
tion the joint gathering suggested the
passage of a new ordinance relating
to the report of contagious disease.
This ordinance will make it necessary
for parents and guardians as well as
physicians to report these diseases to
the health department. and it will place
heavy penalty for failure to make
such reports. Tt was also the consensus
of opinion that, if it was found neces-
sary to employ more men in the health
department to properly enforce quar-
antine; that the city should make
appropriations as may be necessary to
attend to this important work.
The suggestions made at the meet
ing are all to be laid before the mem
bers of the council at the next regular
meeting and it is thought that the
ordinances demanded will be passed
with all possible speed.

Isn'5 it funny how some legislator
from the rural districts always thinks
that it is up to him to write bill for
the government Of cities. He knows
just about as much about running a
city as an average mayor or alderman
knows about milking a COW.

HIS NAME is TUESDAY.

Blossom, a ten-year-old colored
lad living in the northwestern part
of the city, stopped policeman at
Indiana avenue and North street,
few days ago to try to sell him a
scrawny-looking yellow dog that had
followed him home from school.
The policeman, after listening to
the boys tale, started in on a line
of questioning, but this is as far as
he got:

"How did you come to call him
Tuesday?"

for a portion of the population the
testing time comes for the men in
the employ of others. .
A man who works must expect
to work when the time comes for
work, whether it be on holiday or
at other time. Business which must
be run will not run without man
power.
If the man who is supposed to
run the business does not take the
same interest in the business dur
ing times of pleasure that he does
in ordinary times, he cannot expect
the business to have much interest
in him. If he absents himself from
the place of business where he is
employed and expected to be at a
time when it is impossible above all
other times to obtain other assist
ance, he need not expect to succeed
in his employment, and he will have
no cause to grumble at anyone ex-
cept himself when he finds his place
taken by a more competent man..
Pleasure may be and is good
thing at the right time, but the man
who allows pleasure to interfere
with business which he is paid to do
will not succeed. He is merely ex-
isting in life. He need not expect
preferment to come to him, nor to
have the confidence of his employ
ers, nor of the business public.
There may be time to play.
There is always a time for work.

PERSHING LIKED,
DECLARES SCOTT
Allied Generals Approve Work of
American-Sure to Make Good.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Direct as
surances of the confidence of both
British and French commanders in
General Pershing's ability and their
satisfaction with the breadth and
soundness of his preparations to
make American arms effective on
the Western front have reached
Washington with the return from
Europe of Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott,
former chief of staff, who was in
conference today with Secretary
Baker and other war department
officials. The men who are actually
leading the allied armies have been
'unhesitating in expressing their ap-
proval of the chief of the American
expeditionary force and his meth
DDS.
General Scott visited virtually ev-
cry part of the battle front on his
trip, familiarizing himself particu-
larly with the score of the work of
a divisional commander. He beliey-
es that General Pershing has laid
the foundation for American army
training upon what is best in French
and British methods and experience
There is no doubt in his mind that
American troops will be the equal
of any on the front when they come
to grip with the German army.
General Scott has not personally
inspected three fighting fronts, the
Russian, French and British. 1t
appears probable that he is to COM
mand a division of the American
army although no direct statement
of the place designed for him by
Secretary Baker has been made.

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE

In spite of the rather gloomy af-
tcrnoon and discouraging clouds, all
Abbeville showed the right Christ
mas spirit and turned out On masse
to enjoy the Community Christmas
Tree held in front of the Court
House Christmas night.
Mrs. C. H. McMurray and Mrs. j.
A. Hill, who had charge of the nusi-
cal program, are to be congratulate
ed upon their success. Christmas
hymns were rendered by the COM
mittee and the church choirs. The
Star Spangled Banner was especi-
ally appropriate since there was
such a sprinkling of khaki among
the crowd and it was an inspiring
and patriotic sight to see our SOL
diers stand at attention and the
citizens with their heads barred.
1t is needless to discuss the OBJ
ject of a Community Christmas
Tree since it is now an established
custom. This year, more than any
other, in the history of America the
spirit of Christmas needs to be kept
alive in the hearts of all. We are
passing through a great crisis, but
we have all confidence in our aims
an dultimate success and we need
to keep up all the brightness and
happiness and faith and pay our
homage to the Prince of Peace.
The tree was the gift of the Civic
Club. The Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers contributed gener-
ously and they together with the
working committee deserve the
thanks of the city fo rdoing their
bit to cheer all. The success of the
evening was due largely to Messrs'
Anderson, Johnson and McLane.
The Committee in charge consist
ed of the following: Mrs. c. H.
McMurray, Mrs. Foster McLane,
Mrs. W. W. Bradley, Mrs. W. A.

HISTORY FOR THE
FLANDERS FRONT

To the Editor of The New York
Times:
The presence of American troops
on the British front in Flanders re-
calls the following incident:
In the North Carolina Hall of
History at Raleigh is preserved a
scrap of paper on which is written
the dying message of North Caro-
lima Colonel, who fell at Gettysburg.
Struck down while leading his men
in charge during the second days
battle, he lived just long enough to
write on a small piece of Confeder-
ate paper, stained with his blood,
the following message to his Major:
"Major, tell my father I died with
my face to the enemy. I E. Avery"
In 1909 James Bryce, then Brit
ish Ambassador to the United States
while on visit to Raleigh, read
that heroically simple message, and
turning to those gathered about him
said with deep emotion: cit is the
message of our race to the world"
May we not hope and believe that
the spirit of this gallant young Am
erican soldier is today in sympa-
thetic communion with the like spir-
it's of the soldiers of our race.
