FEED AMERICAN PRISONERS

A dispatch from Washington gives
the full account of how the govern
ment has arranged for the feeding Of
all American soldiers taken prison
ers by the Germans.
"The United States has forehand-
eddy prepared for the adequate care
of the prisoners taken by Germany in
the trench raid Saturday. Each man
will receive a bi-weekly ration for
which he will personally receipt. In
this way the United States will not
only know that their men within the
enemy's lines are well fed. but will
know that they have not been dis
posed Of as the Germans have dis
posed of the prisoners of other ma
tionalities.
These arrangements were completed
months ago through the Red Cross
and the international headquarters at
Geneva. The Germans have agreed
that packages Of definite size and
weight and containing a definite and
varied ration sufficient to sustain con
fined men in good health will be sent
through to the prison camps every
two weeks. An individual package
will be addressed to each man and he
will individually receipt for it."

remarks to make on the question Of

things, and here is one of them:

ket a nation wide campaign of adver.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. advertising and 9TH
er kinds 1t was 0 found feasible by
the government to act on the sugges-
ton, but it was acted upon to a large
extent by others. Hardly an Ameri-
can city Of any size, it may safely be
said, but carried in its %newspapers
paid advertisements Of the Liberty
loan. In some cases they were paid
for by business firms or by individ-
uals having no close connection with
the selling campaign. In other cases
the hardheadea business men who
headed selling committee bought the
space. Always the motive was the
same; it was the conviction of pat
riotic men, based on business expert
ence, that the best possible publicity
for such a proposition as the Liberty
bonds, without even excepting public
ity in the news columns, was the kind
that could be procured through force
ful newspaper "displays.'
The newspapers gave all possible
free publicity to the loan. There
never was any intention of holding
back in that regard. There never will
be. But The Journal, for one, wishes
to go on record as being of the belief
that one of the very helpful factors in
the Liberty bond campaign was the
newspaper advertising that was done.
1t is still of the opinion that instead
of leaving this wholly in the hands of
volunteer patriots it ought to be at
least directed by imaginative, expert
advertising men on a nation wide ba-
sis and as part of the governments
official campaign. And to the extent
that advertising proves effective it
competence in the coming loan cam
paigns.
In Sioux City it is to be noted that
the Liberty loan team which raised
by far the greatest sum was the team
which made by far the greatest use OF
advertising space. That does not nee
essarily prove everything, but at least
il raises the suspicion that men and
women who know how to get the
money know the value of i~ntelligently
used advertising space in that connec-
ton.
1t is only natural that any institu-
ton should be convinced of the value
of its own commodity. In a time of
this sort it is plain, patriotic duty to
air such convictions when the value
in question has an intimate relation TO
the success of national wal loans. The
newspapers realize the necessity Of
winning the war perhaps better than
the members Of any other class. They
are disposed to give space, cash, every
thing to the winning of it. They have
not the least inclination to place
minor and present profits above the
great duties of the moment. They
see with a clarity they wish they could
communicate to everybody else in
America that unless this war is won
the matter of a few extra dollars in
profits in the year of our Lord 1917,
won't amount to a bally row of pins.
If in a few cases they have no better
instincts than the profiteer, they at
least lay claim to the possession of
better sense.
In advocating the wider use of
newspaper advertising space for the
sale of coming issues Of Liberty loan
bonds, and possibly the reduction of
railroad tonnage by cutting down the
output of pamphlets, The Journal is
merely being frank with itself and
everybody concerned.

The following poetry has arrived in
a Brookings household from a son
who was in Co. "C' and now is in the
Field Artillery. 1t shows the good
spirits that our boys are in:
We joined the good old infantry,
In Bookings long ago.
The call came in July you see,
To France we think Wen go.
We drilled in Bookings for 2 months,
The best old bunch Pve seen.
We got an order, move at once
To settle at Camp Greene,
When we left home, all our friends
Gathered around the train,
And some came there to make amends,
Lest we ne'er meet again.
We said $50 long" and shook their
hands,
The friends we loved so well.
We did not know we left the land
OF Heaven, bound for hell.
We landed in Carolina,
At Charlotte, old Camp Greene;
We found the camp was well equipped
The best we'd ever seen.
There we got a new order,
Transferred to artillery,
Our nerves we're on the border
When they broke up Company c.
But now we do not mind this,
The old bunch tho were fine;
Old Company c we'll always miss,
Those boys from the S. d. line.
We drilled in different batteries,
For four weeks at that camp;
The days they held no miseries,
The nights were cool, not damp.
One Saturday toward evening,
We got another report
prepare. for we are leaving
On Monday for New York
The 10th artillery troop
Were late in getting started;
We had to wait for them, and so
On Tuesday we departed.
We passed through miles OF land;
Through Washington, ID. C.,
And W%ashington's monument grand
We had a chance to see
Through Maryland and New Jersey,
And Philadelphia, too;
Under lear old Broadway,
The troop train pulled us through
And now here on Long Island
To New York ~ miles,
We sure do like the climate
Out here at old Camp Mills.
With air men high above Camp Mills,
About 40 at the most,
And submarines that fills
The bay down on the coast.
The army isn't bad, my boy,
I'll tell why that is so,
When Uncle Sam says, ship ahoy,'
We're there and on we 30.
In all this grand and glorious land,
1t isn't a likely story,
That there will hesitate a man,
To fight for dear Old Glory.
The flag that floats above us now,
Will fly on, high and long.
Well never let Old Kaiser Bill say,
That's right or that is wrong
SO here we go to get it done,
Old Uncle Sam must sure be right,
The laws of God are not for fun,
That's why a soldier learns to fight
And later on in history,
Will we zeal of that sad story,

of the board sitting as committee of
the whols will take up these afidavits
and pass on them. After the local
beard has passed o. the exemptions
they will be Appeared to the district
board
With LAG men selected FOR the quota
of ESQ for the new national army it
will not be necessary to call great
number of other men. The members of
the board are inclined to believe that
about sixty per cent Of the exemptions
claimed will be granted.
There is little possibility that sec
ond call for men of Kenosha will be
made before Saturday and possibly the
call viii not come before Monday of
next week. This call will probably be
extended to 500 men and from that
number Of men 1t is the belief of the
board that enough men will be secured
to fill up the ranks to the full quota
for Kenosha.
Many men in the second list to be
called have been at the Office of the
board seeking information in regard to
just when their service will be demand
ed and many Of them are planning to
answer The call with view of going
into the army.
The members of the local board are
of the opinion that -Senosha men called
for service are showing less proper
ton of shirkers' than other cities in
this portion Of the state. In Racine it
is declared that ninety-f five per cent of
th' men who have passed the physical
examinations have claimed exemptions
and it is expected that several calls
will have to be made to get the men
necessary to make up the Racine quota.
While the formal order has not been
issued it is expected that the Wiscon-
sin troops will be sent to the camp at
Battle Creek, Mich, for training.

DEMANDS AID. Fischer
QUIT CITY COUNCIL

once made a mistake, there might have
been some excuse for him, but he has
been called before the federal officials
on three occasions and I move that his
resignation be demanded. -
Alderman Joachim came to the aid
of Fischer and counselled that the coun-
eli withhold any action until such a
time as the matter had been taken care
OF by the federal officials. eff Fischer
is found disloyal, shall vote to unseat
him and will be among the first to de-
mand that he get off the council, 4"
Joachim declared. Alderman Boylan
declared that it was not matter fer
federal action but one for the loyal
members of the Common Council to
refuse to sit with disloyalty. Alderman
Bounsall said, cit seems to me that
right now is the time for Fischer to
state his case to this council. I be-
lieve that in this crisis of the nation
the nation needs the loyalty and sup
port of every citizen and especially the
loyalty of men in official positions.
Then the alderman under fire made
his statement which closed with plea
for a further consideration on the part
Of the council.
Alderman Sullivan stirred the crowd
in the council chamber to cheers when
he spoke. IF there is any man in Ke-
nosha or in Wisconsin" he declared,
''who is not satisfied to live under the
Stars and Stripes and be loyal, let him
get out and / don Il care whether he is
an alderman or private citizen. The
day has gone by when Socialists and
Anarchists can tear down the flag of
the nation and stamp on it. am
willing to give this alderman a hearing
nation [ want it understood that I am
ready and willing to vote to demand
his resignation and if he does not re-
sign to force him off the council. F"
Fischer declared that he had not
been guilty of disloyalty at any time
and that if he had hearing before the
federal officials that he would not be
convicted on any such a charge. When
Alderman Sullivan withdrew his second
to the motion there was no way to get
the matter before the house and the
further consideration of it went over
automatically until the next meeting
of the council.
1t is certain that the majority of the
members of the council will demand
the resignation of the alderman if he
is again called before the federal off
cials or should he be punished on any
charges which have been brought
against him in the past.

Wants Damages
For Slaughtered Dog
Charles Schneider Demands That City
Pay for Dog Slaughtered by Officer
Sometime Ago.

Charles Schneider, residing at 569
Jenne street, has served a formal notice
on the mayor and city clerk that he
will demand damages from the city on
account Of the fact that three police
officers slaughtered dog on his prem
Uses on the morning of August 18th. He
claims that the dog had a muzzle about
its neck and that three police officers
invaded his premises in the early morn
ing and that they were forced to fire
five shots at the dog before they killed
it. He asserts that on account of the
early morning call of the police officers
the members of his family were excited
and nervous. In addition to damages
for the dog he demands that the con-
duct of the police officers be investi-
gated. The city council referred the
matter of the investigation to the po-
lice committee and the question Of fix
ing the value of the dog slaughtered
was referred to the committee on
claims. 1t is declared that the claim
Of Schneider is in the manner of a test
and if he recovered damages that the
city will be flooded with claims for
slaughtered dogs.
