SMALL LOSS OF LIFE.

More will be done to secure the health, the
safety, the comfort and the morals of our sol
diers who see service in this war than was ever
done before for any army which any nation put
into the field It can also be safely said that in
spite of all the scientific and satanic methods OF
|murdering-gas, liquid fire and many others
which Germany has perfected and kept secret
in preparation for this conflict, the mortality OF
our troops who fight in France will be less In
proportion to their numbers than in our civil
war or in our war with Spain. Means of COM
batting enemy frightfulness have been found.
Diseases that in previous wars have caused
more deaths than bullets or bayonets have been
conquered; while surgery and sanitary methods
now make injuries inconsequential that were
formerly fatal or left men crippled for life.
When to this the fact is added that the NOR
ale of the German army is seriously impaired
and that such of the rank and file as are inteli-
gent enough to grasp the situation know that
they are fighting a hopeless fight and are happy
Ito be taken prisoners whenever they can sur
render without the loss of honor-when all
these Things are considered, and the immensely
superior supplies and equipment with which
our soldiers will go to the front, it is evident
that while the money cost of this war will be
enormous we shall reduce to an unprecedented
minimum the cost in lives.
Won Bernstorff is smeared with an illuta.
ton of his own composition. Proof is 81 ven in
Washington disclosures that the count, whom
the American people once held in high esteem
despite the conduct of his government, entered
into sinister conspiracies against American in
tegrity and the very lives of our citizens. What
ever shred of responsibility attached to Won
Bernstorff even in the face of earlier disclo-
sures is torn from him because of his now
known activity as the head center Of plotting
against the government Of the United States
"Without the United States financial as
sistance,' says Bonar Law, "the allies would
have been in disastrous straits today We
are now to make more serious contribution.
Our men are going with our money. What our
money has done for the allied cause already,
will be outdone by the deeds of our men when
once they reach the trenches.
T. W. W. leaders boast that there will be a
fund Of a million dollars for the defense of the
indicted members. Wonder whether they ex-
pect to deal with Bernstorff or Boo Pasha.
A hard winter is predicted because the
SQUIRRELS are gathering nuts. A better guess is
that it will be because the profiteers are gath
ering dollars.

as Christmas present than Liberty bond ex-

of another man without a country.

HELLO GIRLS FROLIC.

The Kenosha "nello girls were very
pleasantly entertained Monday evening
at the Commercial Club Hall in Racine
where they were the guests of the tele-
phone girls of that city at a dancing
party. The Kenoshans chartered car
and more than one hundred guests par
took of the hospitality of the Racine
hostesses. Dance music by the PAIL
orchestra of Racine, was one of the
things which added grealy to the sue
cess of the venture and under the di-
rection, Of the committee in charge,
George Kinzinger, Of the Racine tele-
phone commercial department and Miss
Catherine Cullen, welfare supervisor, a
buffet luncheon was served The af-
fair was so thoroughly enjoyed that
similar functions are to be planned in
the near future, at some Of which
the Kenosha thello artists will be
the hostesses.

s'Just Patriotism. =

We are officially informed that there
will be no Christmas armistice along
the Western front. That statement
means that the much Wanted German
offensive may open on the great De-
cember holiday and make it more mem
orable than ever IN the history of per-
sonal, political, and religious freedom.
This information has peculiar signi-
fcance for local women. Tt is an evi-
dence that the soldiers on the firing
line will take no Christmas vacation as
well as a yelled suggestion that the
women back home would do well to
emulate the men at the front in this
respect. The Kaiser apparently is
giving no time to Christmas card
parties, weekly reading-clubs, or yule-
time activities without a patriotic
flavor and his enemies viii have to be
equally "on the job'' if they expect to
balk the great Christmas offensive.
Moral-the work of the American
Red Cross Association and other patri-
otto movements should take precedence
over the lesser activities of society,
club-life, and holiday celebrations. It's
just patriotism and the women of Ke-
nosha are surely sufficiently supplied
with this virtue to meet the test of
the holidays and come through a
hundred per cent patriotic.

Something for Everyone.

The American Red Cross has on It's
hands one of the worlds greatest and
grimmest jobs. In order to do the
work, the organization must have at
once fifteen million members. 1t now
has five million on the rolls and is
campaigning to secure the ten million
additional members by Christmas eve.
Every man, woman and child in this
community ought to belong to the Red
Cross. Being a member doesn't mean
that one is expected to go to Europe
carry wounded soldiers off the battle
fields and nurse them in the hospitals.
It doesn It mean that one need go to
the devastated areas of France, or Bel
GUM, or Poland, or Serbia, and give
personal care to the starving, freez-
ing, naked, homeless women and
children there.
But it does mean that those of us
who stay comfortably at home will
do as much as we can in every way
to back up the organization already
at work cover there.
1t does mean that the men among
us will contribute our bit to help
our brothers fighting the cause of
liberty in Europe.
1t does mean that the mothers
among us will knit and sew for the
wretched mothers of Europe and their
pitiful babies.
1t does mean that our young women
will show practical sympathy for
the young women along the western
'front.' and in Serbia who have suffered
unspeakable cruelties at the hands of
bestial enemy soldiers.
1t does mean that our children be
made to understand the curse upon
the children OF Europe, and be taught
to make some sort of sacrifice for the
cause of humanity.
1t does mean that each of us will do
what he can individually to supply
plenty of comforts for our soldiers
fighting the enemy and necessities for
the wounded in hospitals.
Stricken Europe is crying to heaven
for relief, and Providence is answering
that prayer through the instrumental
ity of the American Red Cross.
Now if it had unlimited funds but
only a comparatively few members, the
Red Cross would be unable to do the
work before it. The first great need
is for millions of MEMBERSHIP sup
port of the folks "back home''
Do you know why our lads in the
army and navy are aequitting them
selves so creditably why they are
amazing the allies by their bravery, in
telligence and enthusiasm? 1t is be-
cause those lads are thinking always
of their mothers and dads and sisters
and sweethearts and kid brothers.
The same thing goes for the Red
Cross. When all the dads and moth
ers and sisters and sweethearts and kid
brothers in America show their interest
and sympathy for Red Cross work, as
members of the Red Cross and as work
ing members, why the Red Cross viii
cover itself with glory forever more.
A years membership in the Red
Cross costs just one dollar. If one
wishes to read the Red Cross Maya
