French Accomplish Prodigious Feats on

Today's Great Drive.
(By United Pressl

With the French Armies in Elan
ders, October 10. - Charging over
flooded fields, Stbridgedn by great
chunks of cork held together by
barhed wire, fighting amid roar
of wind, rain and gunfire, the men
of France reclaimed Belgian ground
held by the Germans since 1914.
: France worked modern miracle
to make her soldiers literally walk
on the sea in achieving the great
victory in this great Battle of the
Inundation.
Feverishly working in a deluge
of rain, French engineers carpeted
the great barrier of water which
was No Man s Land in Flanders
with great islands of cork. They
built miles of trestles and count
less bridges. It was over this "No
Man IS Water" that the French
swept on to victory.

NEW SIGN AT CITY HALL.
Men Wanted Placard Greets Pedes-
TRANS and Tells Them of New Re-
cruiting Office in the City Hall.

The now familiar sign ''Men
Wanted for the q. S. Army''-is a
welcome new conner in front of the
Market street entrance of the City Hall
and has done much to convince the
public that a recruiting Office for
Uncle Sam has made its official appear
ance in Kenosha. Sergt. j. Lamb is
now fully installed and has had several
| applications for admission to each
branch of the service but medical ex-
aminations have brought refusals in
every instance. "There are men in
Kenosha, whom I will reach this
week." were his words as he re-
counted how the germ was taking
again among the real red blooded
young men of the city.
A special bulletin from the War De-
partment was received this morning in
which there was urged greater volun-
teering in the signal corps in that
branch which has to do with wireless,
telegraph and radio operators. There
are now fifteen hundred vacancies in
this attractive branch of the service and
it is hoped that Kenosha men will help
to fill up the branch in the line.
The complete list mentioned in the
communication is as follows: "Cable,
telegraph and radio operators, inside
and outside wiremen; electricians, ma
chinists, photographers and men who
are familiar with the construction and
maintenance Of telephone systems"
! Men who are able to meet these
qualifications are badly needed by the
government and will be doing great
duty to their country by offering their
services at this time.

County Surveyor William O'Brien
evidently has grudge against these
new-fangled street lights on Wisconsin
street. Tuesday night he went head on
into one in front of the Ford garage.
It can be said that the lamp post got
away with considerable less injury than
the radiator of the automobile which
the surveyor was driving. It was all
explained that O'Brien put his foot on
the accelerator instead of the brake.
He escaped without a scratch.
