County Calls
Total of $50 Men
County Board of Exemption Expects to
Get 90 Real Soldiers Out
OF This List.

With the intention of getting 9S real
soldiers who are willing to help Uncle
Sam out in this time of need, the coun-
ty exemption board has called men to
bring the total up to $50 men. In the
first call the board asked for 1876 men
and the second call was for IA men.
These men are all ordered to report be-
fore Friday night and the board ex-
poets to have its examinations COM
pleted by that time. Only very small
proportion of the men so far examined
have signiied willingness to 90 with
the army. The work of making up the
county quota IS going to be consider
ably delayed on account of the large
number of claims for industrial ex-
emptions. All of these claims must
be heard by the district board which
will start its sessions in Racine on
next Monday. The local board has nc
authority to hear claims for industrial
exemptions.

These are the Kenosha men who have
been called to defend their government
and who have answered: We are
ready to serve where ever the nation
needs us.
The local board for exemptions COM
pleted the work of sorting out the re-
turns Of the recent examinations late
Tuesday afternoon and this morning
the board was ready to announce the
first list of men who have not claimed
exemptions and who have been de-
clared physically fit for service by the
board. These men viii be the first men
to be called from Kenosha for service
In the new national army and it is ex-
pected that they viii leave the city
for the cantonment camp at either
Rockford, ILL.,, or Battle Creek, Mich,
about the first of September. Many of
them have already made provision to
be ready to answer the call to the col
ors. Formal calling of these men into
service will take place within the next
ten days.
Secretary Quigley of the local ex-
emption board is now busy certifying
to the war department the men who
have been found physically fit and who
have refused to claim exemptions. It
is. a notable fact that there. are q large

America Must Be
Ready for Long
Struggle
(By United Press.l

Washington, Aug. s. -" America
must set herself for a tremendous
struggle if Germany is to be over
Whelmed Hundreds of thousands
of troops must be sent to France,
railway engineers ard supplies must
be rushed to Russia, coal and other
supplies must go to Italy, otherwise
the hope of crushing the great Teu-
tonic fighting machine win dwindle

longed ]"
This was the message of the
American Commission TO Russia,
headed by Elihu~Root, returned from
it's long and historic trip today
Russia is safe and recovering from
her present difficulties and today
she is doing more in military way
to end the war than America. A
permanent democracy in Russia is
certain,' Elihu Root, the chairman
OF the Commission declared.
The return of the Commission
found all departments of the gov
eminent ready to meet the immedi-
ate demands of the allied nations
as recommended by the members
of the Commission.

number of men in the list who are not
natives OF this country. Many Of these
men who are scheduled as foreign born
were among the first to come forward
and declare that they were ready to
serve in the new national army.
Not few of the men who are going
with the first Kenosha Company are
men who have been active in the af-
fairs of the nation. Some of them are
giving up excellent positions to respond
to the call of the nation for soldiers.
The notification of these men that they
have been selected win go forward
within the next few days.
In the meantime the members Of the
local board viii be busy hearing claims
for exemption. More than $50 claims
for exemption have been fled and ev-
cry one of them will be subject to a
separate hearing. 1t is certain that
many of the men who have claimed ex-
emptions win not be able to substanti-
ate their claims before the board and
they will be drafted into the service
later All afidavits in support of
claims for exemption must be fled with
the secretary of the board before next
Monday evening. Then the members

Washington, Aug. 5. Germany
may attempt to trample Switzerland
under foot and swing her armies
round to the south end of the west
ern front unless the mountain re-
public yields to Germany's demand
for a loan. This is the dismal
prospect which international diplo-
mats faced here To-Day Germany
is demanding gold from Switzer-
land in return for coal. Should
such a situation come it would be
most discouraging to the allies and
would force a complete readjust-
ment of the present battle lines.

Patriotic blood, which answered the
call to defend the nation in the trying
days of '61 demonstrated that it was
thicker than water today when
George and Byron Gilmore, the sons
of Mrs. Anna Gilmore of the Bristol
community, enlisted in Company M.
More than fifty years ago their grand
father, Captain Gilmore, of the 18TH
Illinois Infantry, was killed in the gal
liant charge at Kenesaw Mountain and
today, his grandsons, are anxious to
take up the defense of the flag for
which he freely gave his life.
The new recruits have been examined
by the. company physician and passed
as two of the best physical volunteers
in the whole company. The two new
patriots, although they are behind the
rest Of the company in the training for
drill, promise to follow well in the
footsteps of their famous grandfather,
as they march shoulder to shoulder in
the ranks of the local company.
Captain Dayton announced this
morning that temporary reflections had
brought the total of the company to
one hundred and thirty-nine; this
means that eleven more at least must
enlist if Kenosha is to have credit for
a full war sized infantry company.

PROMINENT MEN TAKE STOCK
Cashier Johnson Who Has Aided in
Strengthening Out Affairs of Bank
which Was Closed May Be Cashier
of New Institution.

Articles of incorporation Of the Home
State Bank of Bristol, Wis, were com
pleted Tuesday, August 18th, and the
new bank will begin operation in the
near future. The stock, which has been
over-subscribed by citizens Of Bristol
and surrounding country will be
100000 with a surplus to start Of
100000. 1t is an interesting fact that
there will be over fifty stockholders in
the new bank and on the list of stock
holders appear the names of well known
business men, farmers laborers and a
large number Of women who believe in
the future Of a home bank.
I. A. Johnson, formerly cashier of
the now defunct Bristol State Bank, is
largely responsible for the organization
Of the new bank and will probably be
cashier, as it has been fully demon
strated that he was in no way impli-
Gated in the affairs Of the Bristol State
Bank which caused that bank to be
closed by the state bank examiner, and
has throughout shown his honesty and
business integrity in helping straighten
out the affairs of the Bristol State
Bank so that the depositors would not
lose any money because Of the failure
of the bank.
The following letter to Mr.. Johnson $
father explains the position that Mr..
Johnson has taken throughout this
matter:
Andrew Johnson,
Little Falls, MINI.
Dear sir:
Tn behalf of L. A. johnson, cashier
of the Bristol State Bank, wish to
state that as far as can be determined
he is not in any way connected with
the Minnesota Wisconsin Investment
Company and his work as cashier in
this bank has been entirely satisfactory
to the people of this vicinity and the
examiner in charge.

Examiner in Charge.
