LAST DAY FOR INCOME BLANKS.
Assessor Of Incomes Dalton Has Unusu-
ally Heavy Mail But Many People
Fail to Respond.

Today was the last day for fling the
state and federal income statements
and it was busy day for Assessor ~
Incomes Joseph E. Dalton. More than
three thousand blanks for the return of
incomes were sent out to people in Ke-
nosha city and county and not any
where near two thousand of these
blanks have been returned properly
signed. 1t is expected that lot of
them will come in tonight and tomor-
row morning, but it is certain that
many people have overlooked making
the return demanded by the law. I'm
der the law the assessor of incomes has
the right to make an assessment of in
comes against people who fail to file
any report, These assessments will be
made within the next month, but the
income tax payer will not be notified
of the amount of the assessment until
he gets his bill for taxes from the city
treasurer year from now. It is adj
mitted that returns made this year
show very large increase in incomes
earned by Kenosha people and the tax
in 1917 will probably be greatly in ex-
cess of the tax which has Just been
collected.

consulted attorneys and will seek to
show that the ordinance is not a
reasonable health precaution.

Fifty Members of Club Make Merry
+ at Luncheon and Smoker Following
Annual Meeting at Elks Club.

Drivers of automobiles in Kenosha are
in favor Of the trunk line plan for the
building of state highways and the Club
members got behind this plan at the an
nual meeting held at the Elks Club on
Tuesday night at which more than fifty
members Of the club were present. The
club members voted TO join the Wiscon-
sin Good Roads Association which is
strongly supporting the plan for trunk
line highways outlined by the Wisconsin,
State Highway commission. The fact
that the county board has shown oppo-
sition to this movement would indicate
that the road boosters of Kenosha coun-
ty will be badly divided on the question
of trunk lines for the highways.
The members of the Kenosha club
have been divided on the question but
the annual meeting on Tuesday night
showed that a great majority of tile
members favor the plan which has been
outlined by the commission.
The annual meeting was one Of the
most notable gatherings of automobil

The above telegram which was
transmitted to President Wilson at
Washington today is representative of
the standing of the Polish people of
Ienosha in regard to the break with
Germany. 1t was ordered sent at the
annual meeting Of the Kenosha Polish
Citizens Club held at Germania Hall
on last Sunday afternoon and a lot of
enthusiasm has been shown by the
members of this nationality in endors-
i'm the work of President Wilson in
daaling with the crisis with Germany.
The Polish Citizens Club is rapidly
enlisting under its banner all of the
Polish people of the city and as a re-
sul5 of its work many people who were
born in Poland have applied to the
, Circuit Court for citizenship papers.
1t is rather unusual that the message
sent by the Polish people to the presi-
dent today is the first message of sup
port sent out Of Kenosha by any or
ganization. Protests against the ac-
tion of the administration have been
sent by several organizations. The
Polish organization is one of the old
est among the alien born people of Ke-
nosha and it numbers as its members
.more than three hundred men who
were born in Poland. 1t is the proud
boast Of the members of the organiza-
tion that ninety percent of its mem
hers are now citizens of the United
States and every member joining is
il formed that the first demand upon
him is to secure citizenship. At the
annual meeting twenty applications for
membership were filed and within the
next few days twenty applications will
be made to the clerk of the Circuit
Court for the granting of citizenship
to these new members. The new off
GERS of the organization are:
Observation-Disclosures Mociu1ewski.
President-Michael Kolowski.

START WORK WITH A RUSH
Directors of Chamber of Commerce Anx-

Organization Under Way.

Richard F. Kaiser, formerly of Eau
Claire, recently named as the new
secretary of the Kenosha Chamber of
Commerce, has notified acting secre-
tary, A. L. Drury, of the Board of
Directors, that he will be here on
Thursday ready to take off his coat and
start things at the office Of the cham
Der in the Larsen building Mr.. Kaiser
has been making a long distance study
of conditions in Kenosha ever since he
was named for the position and when
he gets here he will have new set Of
by-lafs ready for the Kenosha chamber
and he will be ready to start right to
work. The Board Of Directors plan to
get into touch with the work planned
by the new secretary at once.
"We are hopeful that no further
time will be lost in making this organi-
cation a real institution for the adj
vancement of Kenosha,'' said Acting
President Dan @. Head. Secretary
Kaiser has been successful in his work
at Eau Claire and if he is not success
full in Kenosha it is certain that por-
ton of the blame must be laid on we
men who are active in the organization
here. I have the assurance that every
member of the Board of Directors viii
be ready and wiling to meet Mr..
Kaiser better than half way in every
thing that he plans for Kenosha. What
we want Isl to have some one show us
how to direct all of this Kenosha energy
into the right channels. When we
get that information every man in
the bunch is ready to put his shoulder
to the wheel sand push. y
Secretary Kaiser will be ready to
start the actual work Of his office be-
fore the end of the week and it is
planned to have the long delayed APP
pointment of the standing committees
Of the Chamber Of Commerce completed
by the middle of next week. Many of
the members will be called upon to
serve on important committees. Secre-
tary Kaiser has been most successful
in taking the Eau Claire men "upon
the mount and show them the promised
land, - and they have been able to go in
and possess a lot of valuable things for
Eau Claire on account of his efforts.

KENOSHA BARRIERS
TOCUT RACINE HAIR
Big Boost in the Price Of SLAVES and
Hair Cuts in Racine Promise to Send
Racine Long Boards Here.

1t is expected that there will be a
regular exodus of the long haired peo-
pie of Racine to Kenosha and Kenosha
BARRIERS are hoping to reap harvest
out of the fact that the Racine BARRIERS
have gone and boosted the price Of
tonsorial service until Racine has the
record Of having the highest price for
a hair cut and shave known in any city
in this part of the country. After to-
morrow Racine BARRIERS are going to
charge fifty cents for a hair cut and
twenty cents for shave and the man
who wants to have shampoo with his
hair cut will have to come across with
something that listens like bushel of
potatoes.
"Tt's an i'll wind that blows no.
where, - was the comment OF a Keno
sha barber this morning. "The rates
have not been raised here and Racine
men can now pay their fare down to
Kenosha on the electric line, have a
visit in real town and get their shave
and hair cut for just what they would
pay without the visit" Some Of the
Kenosha BARRIERS seem to think that
the suggestion is mighty good one
and already the argument is being
heard, eff Racine gets a half dollar
for cutting mans hair, why not Ke-
nosha?" Racine BARRIERS claim that
they have been forced to set the new
price on account Of the advanced cost
of pomades used in barber shops and

THREE SIDES Of LENS

With the British Armies in France,
April 16.--British troops fought theft
way forward in the outskirts Of st.
Quentin and Lens today, Just north
Of St. Quentin they took the village
Of Troissauvages.
Around three sides Of Lens they
were fiercely fighting against Ger
man defenders and slowly encircling
the coal city. Again early today the
Germans threw two more strong at
tacks at British positions at Monchy-
le-Preux. Both failed. The British
artillery concentrated devastating
fire at the massed attacks.
Another German attack. likewise
in great force, was made on both
sides OF the Bapaume-Cambrai road
against Hermies. Noruil and Lagni-
court.
The British held firm at Hermies
and Noreuil, but the Germans OBJ
tanned foothold on a spur 1000
yards to the north Of Penebaling and
Lagnicourt. Immediately. however,
the British counter-attacked and
drove the enemy out. The Germans
lost heavily in this attack and the
subsequent British counter-attack.
