"Thc consideration Of the report
was postponed"
Says /: Is War for Gain.

Pctcograd, Saturday, Dec. 8.-(By
the Associated Press).-Comment
on President Wilson's message to
Congress, the Army and Fleet Jour-
nal this morning pictures America
and Great Britain as determined to
carry on the war in order that they
may triumph commercially over all
others, including the allies. 1t says ::
peace by means Of war! This is
the mask under which the American
impcrialists with their infamed appe-
titcs are posing. America declares
herself the implacable enemy Of Aus
tria- Hungary without any evident
reason, without any justifying mo-
tives save covctousness and greed.
Selfish Ambition:
AT the moment in which Russia is
putting forth efforts to end the war;
American capitalists, talking with
tsriving to lcngthcn the bloody ter
ror. America and Great Britain de-
sire to have all countries so weakened
that they will remain the sole victors,
and over the bodies Of the millions
that have been sacrificed divide the
world. The Bourgeois are dancing
cannibalstc dances over the bodies
Of ten million victims"
The Old Refrain.
The lsvcstia, the scmi-oilicial organ
Of the soldiers and workmcn's dele
gates, says:
"Ihis is the old rcfrain--war to a.
victorious end. We are sure the
Krupps and all the other German and
Austrian cannon kings are rubbing
their hands with glee at hearing such
talk. The Hohenzollerns and Haps-
burgs are rejoicing at the possibility
now of throwing over to the should
ers of America the responsibility of
carrying on the war. But the mighty
call of the Russian. pl loletariat will
soon be heard throughout the world
and the awakened nations will force
their governments first to an armis-
tice and then to peace."
Papers Suppressed.
Most Of the newspapers, aside from
the Bolsheviki organs, are still not
permitted to print. The Isvestia pub
lishes a letter from M. Bakriloff, the
former private secretary to Madame
Catharine Bresskoyskaya, "the grand
mother of the revolution" in which
the aid given by the American Red
Cross representatives to educational
work in Russia is interpreted as anti
Bolsheviki activity.
The BakriloF letter declares that

MUSIC TITLE AFTER MILE.

Can you, dear reader, sit at your
piano and play continuously for 50
hours with both hands2 "Try it, it IS
fine, says J. NJ Waterbury, the Mar
athon pianist, who is in the city. He
holds the world record at this must
cal pastime. While here he is to make
an effort to break this record. Dur
ing this length of time he plays with
both hands, as his food and nourish-
ment is given him by his attendant. No
stops until exhausted. Mr. Waterbury
says II am not hypnotized, as many
presume. / do not use drugs or dope
Of any kind to keep going. Plenty of
hot black coffee, cold damp towels rub
bed over my face, plenty of grit and
nerve. That's al"
II have played many contests against
other players and have, so far, held the
record. / am going to make my last
play here, as | am going to quit the
business. I begin here next Tuesday,
August 21st, in the show window of the
S. & J. Gottlieb department store. Tues
day is my birthday and that fact viii
probably spur me on to break my rec
ord. -
Mr. Waterbury plays all kinds of mu-
sic. He feels the effect of his work
mostly through his back and shoulders.
His fingers do not blister.
Well, at any rate, it g something
new for Kenosha and viii, no doubt,
be watched with more than usual in
terest. A prize will be given OF the
person estimating the nearest rumber
of hours played.

KENosaA HOST 70 gANKERs.

Local bankers are in receipt of no
tees from Merton r. Fish Of White,
water, Wis, which announce an i'm
portant gathering for Kenosha in the
near future The communications come
on postal cards which read: "The reg
ular annual meeting of Group 5,
Wisconsin Bankers Association, will
be held at Kenosha on Tuesday, August
2Sth, 1917 Delegates and visitors are
cordially urged to bring the ladies for
a days outing in the beautifully To-
Gated city of Kenosha. Group officers
are completing special arrangements
for their reception and entertainment 2
The notice is interesting, not only be-
cause of its announcement of the group
meeting, but also because it recognizes
the advantages of Kenosha as the lead
ing convention city of lower Wisconsin.

OPEN SPACIOUS GARAGE.
Fred schulien and Earl Topel Open
Grand Avenue Garage with Agency
for -Elkhart Cars.

The automobile sales agencies of Ke-
nosha received an impetus recently
when Fred Schulien and Carl Topel OPP
ened a new spacious garage at 1003-5
Grand avenue, which is to be known as
the Grand avenue garage. With a new
building erected with floor space 50x
$50 feet, and with every facility for
operating an up-to-the minute service,
tkc rev business promises to be one
of successful proportions in the auto
mobile world of Kenosha. The proprie-
tors have taken the agency for the
Elkhart, the popular car which is
selling like wildfire for 1885, which line
will be supplemented later in the year
by al agency for a popular truck line.
The garage is modern in every way and
viii carry full line of tires, tubes and
accessories. First class repairing will
be done with prompt service and rea-
sonable prices.

has ever known.
SILVER LAKE is READY.
Cross Association Effects Perma-
nent Organization.

In meeting held in Dalton Hall on
Friday evening, the Silver Lake Aux
iliary of the Kenosha Red Cross chap
ter elected permanent Officers and pro-
vided for the establishment of local
headquarters. The service throughout
was characterized by a fine enthusiasm
and patriotism which promise unquali-
fled success for the officials chosen to
guide the destinies of the new organ
ization.
AS in the meeting of an earlier date,
A. j. Kerwin was the presiding genius
of the occasion. Pleasing in personal
ity and broad in intellect, he Immediate
ly enlisted the sympathies of his audi
ence by his clever presentation of the
Red Cross cause. He was followed on
the program by DR.. Helen Harbert, the
leading speaker of the evening. Thor
oughly familiar with the ms and outs of
Red Cross work, DR.. Harbert gave the
Silver Lake patriots wealth of prac-
teal advice, which, if followed, to the
letter, viii most certainly assure sue
cess. Her remarks were supplemented
by short talk from Earl Marlatt, who
dealt especially with the general
aspects of the war.
In the election which succeeded the
oratorical program the following peo-
pie were chosen to manage the work of
the Silver Lake Auxiliary: Chairman
Miss Florence Matthews; vice chairman
r. T. Button; secretary-Mrs. j. Dali
ton; treasurer-W. G. Schlecht. In the
short business session which followed
the balloting definite plans were laid
for the appointment of committees and
the establishment of local headquarters.
In this way the branch association pre-
pared itself for immediate service and
made possible contributions of no mean
size for the enormous shipments now
demanded of the local chapter.

Statement in Regard to Affairs of

Within a few days the affairs Of the
Bristol State Bank will be little more

cowELL KICKS ON sPR1NKLING.
Big Taxpayer Says He Will Give Money
to Red Gross but that Sprinkling
is Not Worth While.

Walter M Cowell, who is one of the
largest taxpayers in the city, has sent
complaint to the mayor against the
municipal street sprinkling. He de-
clares that the sprinkling is of no value
in many parts of the city on account of
the fact that the trips of the municipal
sprinkler are too seldom. He suggests
that with about four sprinklers the city
might be able to give the service that
is necessary to keep the streets in con-
dition but that it is out of the question
with one sprinkler. Cowell, in his per-
sonal letter to Mayor Pfennig, declares
that he is not trying to WEIGH on the
tax which may be assessed against him
but that he is willing to pay this tax
if the sprinkler will just be operated
over few streets with the understands
ing that other streets will be taken
care of in the near future. He suggests
that for this year he would prefer to
give the money to the Red Cross funds
and that he would just as much as the
city would assess him for sprinkling.
His complaint has been voiced by num-
Der Of other property owners who be-
lieve that the service Offered by the
city is not adequate to keep all the
streets free from dust.

Lawyers and Notaries
Fatten on Conscripts
Men Called for Service are Being
Warned Against Paying Big
Fees for Service.

Members of the local exemption
board and Of the County Council of
Defense are warning all conscripted
men against lawyers and notaries who
are fattening their purses off conscripts
who want to file afidavits for exemp-
tion. IT is declared that in some cases
lawyers have charged these men as
much as four dollars for making up
affidavits for exemption. Many of the
notaries in the city have voluntarily
offered to give their services in max
ing of such afidavits and there is alb
solutely n, reason why any man called
for army service should pay large fees
for this service .These men who are
charging the men called for service
large fees for this work are entitled to
the strongest condemnation, said one
of the members Of the local board on
Friday evening. HfThe affidavits that
they draw are of no value to the men
seeking exemptions. Men are going to
be fairly treated and they need no
high sounding words from the vocabu-
laries of lawyers to get consideration
for their claims. There is no law to
prevent these men taking money for
service which is valueless, but public
sentiment should be aroused so that
such men will have very poor stand
ing in the community The governor
of the state has issued a special warn
ing against the men who are fattening
their bank roll off conscripts. The
members Of the local board are always
ready to give advice as to the fling

TIRED OF TRAMP LIFE.

The life of the open road, with all its
romance and its vicissitudes as well,
WASH t exactly what John Dawicki, a
14-year-old runaway, thought it would
be, and after five day sample, he
told the Kenosha police this morning
that he was willing to go back to his
home, zoos Fratney street, Milwaukee.
The youthful vagrant was picked up
early this morning by Policeman Lang,
whom he told that he ran away from
his home Monday morning, and in his
five-day tramp had encountered every
trial set in the way Of the happy hobo.
The Milwaukee police were notified and
the boy is held here for word from
them relative to disposing of the case.

MISS PAEPKE ouITs POSITION.

Miss Lillian Paepke, who during the
past year has been in charge of the
school for backward children III Keno
sha and who has been elected to have
charge o. the school for another year,
has served notice on the Board Of Edu.
cation tat she will not return to Ke-
nosha. Her formal resignation reached
the secretary of the board this morning
from Savannah, Georgia, where Miss
Paepke is now in institutional work
The position is a very difficult one to
fill. Miss Paepke came to Kenosha
from the state school at Chippewa
Falls and had been most successful in
the organization and operation of the
school. The work among the backward
children of the city has been one of the
most popular features of the public
school work in Kenosha and it is GER
tain that it will not be permitted to
go backward on account of the resig-
nation Of Miss Paepke.
