COUNTERFEIT HALF
CIRCULATED HERE

One of the most dangerous counter
felt coins ever found in circulation in
Kenosha is a counterfeit half dollar OF
the nineteen-seventeen issue which has
appeared in several places in the city.
The counterfeit has been made with
such care that it would detect any
ordinary man and it would get by a
lot of people with wide experience in
handling money. The coin is perfect
in every way; it is of the same weight
as the genuine coin and the die from
which it was made was unusually
sharp. 1t even has a good rattle when
it is thrown on the counter. On ac-
count of the excellent work that has
been done by the counterfeiters al
merchants have been warned to look
whit a good deal of care on the
handsome new half dollars coming
into the TIL.

ENGINEER JENSEN DIES
FROM MONDAYS BURNS

The burns received by Henry Jensen,
an engineer of the Nash Motors Com
pany, when he was scalded by live steam
exploding from five-inch pipe in the
pump room of the Nash Motors COM
pany, Monday, proved fatal and after
six hours of suffering the injured man
died Monday evening at the Kenosha
Hospital. The physicians thought IN
til four clock that he had good
chance for recovery but at that time a
change for the worse came and he never
rallied from the shock.
Henry B. Jensen was born in Sehles-
wig Holstein in 1868; he was brought to
America by his parents and had spent
most of his life as citizen of Kenosha,
where he had made many friends by his
honesty and efficiency. For several
years he had been chief engineer at the
Nash Motors Company, where he held
the complete confidence of his employ
ers. He is survived by his wife and
three sons, Chris, Matthias and Hans
Jensen. He is also survived by his mo-
Their, Mrs. Matilda Jensen, who for sew
eral years had made her home with her
son. The deceased was member of
the Grace Lutheran church and was
prominent in the activities of that in
stitution. The funeral services will
be held on Friday afternoon after which
interment will be made at the Green
Ridge cemetery.

HOLD TWO MORE FOR
FEDERAL OFFICERS

Two more men are held in the Ke-
nosha city lookup pending investiga-
lions by the federal officials. Gothlie
Hermann, who formerly worked as a
beet weeder in the town of Somers and
who failed to show up when the first
call for men was made the first of
August, was located on farm near
Sheboygan and he came to Kenosha in
response to a telegram. He has been
certified for service by the adiptant
general. When he reached Kenosha
Hermann claimed that he was a citi-
zen of Russia. He admitted that he
had received notices to appear and that
he had paid no attention to them. Her
mann told the officials that he was not
going to serve in the army.
While it is believed that he can en-
force an exemption on the grounds
that he is an alien, he is being
held pending the action of the
federal officials.
Adolph Petsky is held on charges of
seditious talking. He is alleged to
have made sensational statements in
regard to the men serving in the army
and against the president of the Unit
ed States. 1t is expected that federal
officials will come from Milwaukee
this afternoon to investigate the
charges against the two men.

NAME OFFICIAL PAPERS
FOR KENOSHA COUNTY

The county board at its session this
morning named the Kenosha Evening
News and the Kenosha Telegraph Cour-
Ter as official papers for Kenosha
county with view of giving the pro-
ceedings of the Board the widest pos
sible publicity. In the past the pro-
ceedings of the board have been pub
lished in weekly paper and many peo-
pie in the city have been. denied the
privilege of knowing just what the
board did officially.
The action of the board means that
the proceedings of the county board
will go to six thousand homes in Keno
sha city and county and will be laid
before twenty thousand readers of tn
combined papers.

KENOSHA ROCKIES
GET COMMISSIONS

Kenosha was hundred percent eff
cient when the commissions were hand
ed out at Fort Sheridan as every man
from Kenosha II the training school
won a commission. The list announced
included:
Captain-Ben G. Brennan.
First Lieutenant, Infantry
Robert M. Smith.
First Lieutenant, Infantry,
R. A. Dornfeldt.
First Lieutenant, Infantry
Earl Darby.
Second Lieutenant, Artillery
Benjamin Rundell.
Second Lieutenant, Infantry -
George R. Sutherland.
Second Lieutenant, Artillery
Herman Appel.
The commissions were handed out at
noon today at the Fort Sheridan camp
and Lieutenants Smith and Rundell
will have the customary two weeks fur
Tough before going into the service.
Capt. Brennan received his commission
more than six weeks ago and while he
was registered as student at the see
ond training sch~ol at Sheridan his COM
mission had been granted to him by the
Department of War before he entered
the school and it was based on the
splendid showing that he had made as
civilian engineer. Captain Brennan
is now at Fl. Leavenworth in Kansas
and it is expected that he will leave for
engineering service in France about the
first of the new year.
His first assistant in the city's en-
cheering Office in~,Kenosha, Robert M.
Smith, was registered at the training
camp from Madison on account of the
fact that he formerly belonged to a re-
serve unit of the army at the capitol
city. Lieut.. Smith has been commits
stoned for the infantry but it is prob
able that before he goes into active
service that he will be transferred to
the engineering corps.
Lieut.. Ben Rundell is known at Sher
idan as "The Man Who Stuck" He
was in the first training camp and when
there were not enough commissions to
go round to all the excellent men at
this camp, Rundell declined to go into
the army as a non-commissioned army
officer and asked for the privilege Of
remaining for the second officers train
ing camp In the meantime he was
drawn for service under the sel6ctive
draft in Kenosha but on recommends
ton of the officers in charge of the
training camp he was assigned to Fort
Sheridan for instruction.
No announcement is made as to what
division of the army the Kenosha Off
Gals will be assigned to. It is expected
that Lieut.. Rundell will have a chance
for early service in France. After the
last camp men commissioned in the ar
tillery left within a month and they
are now in service on the French front.
These included Lieutenants Gilbt TT
Lance and Lewis A. B. Mcdowell. It
is expected that Lieut.. Rundell will get
a chance to follow these men into serv-
ice within a short time.

The Oshkosh Northwestern remarks
that the drive of the British tanks last
week promises to go down into history
as the greatest joy ride on record. May
be this is just a try out and that all
efforts of the tanks will be eclipsed
later. British ingenuity is just waking
up. It is slow to awaken but with the
aid of American initiative it is prob
able that Germany has a lot more sur
prises in store for her.

Germany is winning more by intrigue
and falsehood than by the bravery of
her fighting men. 1t may be that this
is a part of the fairness of war,
but the stealing of victory is not in
keeping with the old time idea of honor
among warriors. Germany must win by
intrigue. On every front it has been
proven that her fighters are inferior to
her opponents.

Men who have had long tenure of
office on the county board seem to be
opposed to the three year term of office

ally humdinger at county boarding
there is no thing in the old law to pre-
vent his reelection.

Some Of the crossing CRATES on Ke-

Kenosha county may well be proud of.
