To Train Officers
AT Fl. Sheridan
Kenosha Men Who Make Officers Re
serves Will be Trained Near Home
in August and September.

Abandonment of Fort Sheridan for
the second officers camp in favor of
Leon Springs, Tex, has been cancelled.
Official announcement was made in
Washington that from Illinois candi-
dates for commissions will be put
through their sprouts on home grounds.
The Michigan and Wisconsin candi-
dates, who were to have gone to Fort
Logan Fl. Roots, Ark, will also train
at Fort o7leridan.
There will be 1,S4S student Officers
in the second Fort Sheridan camp. Of
these 971 will be from Illinois, and 385
from Wisconsin. These candidates will
be weeded out of list of 8,742 candi-
dates, 5,407 of whom are from Illinois.
The student officers from Iowa and
Minnesota and other states of the thir-
teenth division, who are scheduled to
20 to Fort Riley, Kan, to train will 60
to Fort Smelling, Mimi, where the pres
emf camp for this division is being held.
The change in location of officers
training camps was partly in response
to criticisms Of the war department :
action in sending all the National Guard
of the North to Southern training
camps, and to the more recent charges
that the South was favored at the ex-
pcnse of the North in fixing draft
quotas.
There are $4,000 applications for the
second camp, officials estimate, from
incomplete reports received, and out of
this number only 10000 student off
GERS will be selected. Preference will
be given to Northern men, other things
being equal.

Hope to SaUe the
Armies of Russia
From Utter
Rout
(By United Press.)

London, July % There is a ray
of hope this afternoon that Pre-
mier KerensIy will be able to save
the army Of Russia from uttersrout.
1t is found in the reported loyalty
of the people in the Carpathians.
Blood and iron is being applied to
stop the muntiny in the army, but
the best advices today indicate
that the Russians are still retreat
ing. From France comes the re-
port that the Russians are retreat
ing before the advancing Germans
along one hundred and forty mile
front. In some places the retreat
is orderly, but at many it is in the
nature Of an utter route. State
ments from Berlin declare that Sin
conspectu imperatoris the German
army is pushing its advantage in
the Carpathians. Kaiser Wilhelm
arrived on the Russian front on
Tuesday and is declared to be aim
ing a personal blow to crush and
annihilate the Russian army. It is
declared that the Germans have
taken thousands of Russian pri-
soners.

FIGHTS WITH POLICEMEN
Refuses to Allow Officers to Examins
His Clothing But Insists on Sending
kilograms Which the Police Be-
Ieve Are In Code.

Harold Hamilton, twenty-five years
of age, who claims to be from New
Orleans, is causing the police of Keno
sha some concern. He was "put down
below" again this morning after hes
had refused to tell the police anything
in regard to his past life and
| after he had fought two officers who
attempted to make an examination
of his clothing.
81 have killed four men already and
/ would just like to see some Kenosha
cop arrest me- is the statement al
legged to have been made by Hamilton
in a down town saloon. Some police
officer did arrest Hamilton and he is
being held on charges of carrying a.
weapon. He has not been taken toa
court and he will not be taken untiIg
after some answer has been receiveds
from kilograms sent to the police de-
! partment at New Orleans.
| The police declared lthis morning that
they believed that Hamilton had escap- 4
ed from some penal institution, His
hands were as white as any woman ss
| hands and he showed no evidence of
| having dore any hard labor in reeentF
i month ctai4As tbe was N New4
Orleans on last Saturday, but he was in3
Kenosha early Monday morning He
| first came to the notice of the police
when it was claimed that he was at-3
| tempting to secure money on a.,
farm which he claimed was located
down in Ohio.
Hamilton was seeretive when he was
first given the "third degree by the
Kenosha police officers. He insisted
| that telegram be sent to a man in
New Orleans. The telegram was such
a mumbled bunch of words that the
police officers declared that they be-
lieved it to be a code message to some
! pal in New Orleans. Instead of send
| ing this message Chief O Hare sent a
message to the chief of police in New
| Orleans and asked that he send a.
prompt answer showing all he knows
about Hamilton. The police do not
expect any great return from this-I
as they have no reason to believe
that the man in custody has revealed
his real identity.
Hamilton threw about himself a.
cloak of mystery He refused to say
anything about why he came to Keno
sha or why he was carrying the knife.
His clothing would indicate that he
was of the laboring classes but his talk
indicated that he was a man who had
pretty good educational advantages
Chief O'Hare declared after a battle
in the police office this morning that
Hamilton would be held until some real
facts were learned about him.
May be he did kill four men and
may be this is just bunk, but he SEEMS
mighty anxious to get away" was the
comment Of the chief.

Government Plans to Send These Men
10 Their Home Countries In Order
THAT They May Serve in the Great
May Be Law in 10 Days.

Thirteen hu4dred and seventy five
aliens residing in Kenosha city and
county ere facing deportation if a new
law now pending before Congress is
passed and it is expected that it will
be passed within the next ten days.
Naturalization officials iii Kenosha on
Tuesday gave warning that the order
for deportation might be provided at
any time and it will be effective not
only against Ger mans who are rated
as alien enemies but against hum
dreds Of men from other European
countries who are not subject to mill
tary duty in this country but who will
be subject to military duty in some
other country which is now an ally of
the United States of America.
Under the federal laws aliens or men
with first papers can not be drafted for
service in the United States Army.
Men who have taken out their first pa
pers may enlist in the volunteer mill
tary forces of the nation but they are
not subject to draft. Within a short
time million citizens are to be called
for the service of the United States
and with the calling Of this million men
it is expected that some provisions will
be made to force aliens to return to
their own countries and give similar
service as provided in the laws of the
country This law has not as yet been
enacted but the provisions Of it are to-
day being circulated widely among the
aliens of Kenosha. Remuneration of al
legiance aud taking out first papers is
the remedy that is being sought by
many of them and it is expected that
hundreds Of these men will in the next
few day seek to get standing as near
citizens Of this country. The policy of
the government is to equally divide
military service. It is aimed at the
men who may hide under the mask that
they are not citizens and reap the re-
wards Of big war wages without MAX
ing themselves subject in any way to
the draft or military service.
II can not give the full provisions
Of the new bill, = said Clerk Of the Cir
cult Court B. NJ DeDiemar who is in
charge of the issuance of first and sec
ond papers. "The law is aimed to
make more equal the rights of all resi-
dents whether citizens or not in con-
nection with military service. A glance
at the registration lists shows the mum
Der of men in Kenosha who would be
subject to deportation under the new
law
Organizations among foreign born
residents with the report that this bill
may be passed are busy urging their
members to get into line for citizen
ship. In Kenosha many people born in
other countries have taken out their
first papers in order to be able to get
into the army as volunteers. It is ex-
pected that many other of these people
will take a similar course.

SCHOLER HEADS COMMITTEE
Prominent Merchants Hold That Deliv-
cry of Goods is the Big Problem in
Doing Business in Kenosha- Holds
Lights Are Good as Ever.


The Kenosha Retailers Association
has been asked by the National Coun-
ell of Defense to aid in cutting the
price of living by cutting down the cost
Of retail delivery service and today a
special committee of the association con-
sisting of Otto j. Scholer, William Stew
ems, Fred Perkins, Ralph Karnes, JOS
eph HampelJ and Charles Pope, has
started out to find a way to show Ke-
nosha people the necessity of carrying
their parcels home and by cutting cost
Of delivery service, cut the cost of liv-
ing. This committee is expected to
make some recommendation to the as
ISOLATION at its next monthly meeting
and it's work is considered one of the
most important works ever taken up
by the association. Delivery charges
in Kenosha make up one of the biggest
items of doing business. The snare of
it is thrown about every line Of retail
trade Nearly all of the retail mer-
chants maintain a free delivery service
and, of course, the cost or it goes into
the cost Of the articles bought. Coop
erative delivery has been tried In Ke-
| nosha but merchants claim that the ex-
pertinent did not work out in manner
that proved the value Of the system.
etThe committee has the hardest job
ever given to anybody of men in Ke-
nosha,' said a prominent retail mer-
chant today eff this committee can
solve the problem of eliminating the
costs Of making deliveries from the
store the cost of a lot of things to Ke-
nosha people will be greatly reduced.
! We do not want cooperative delivery.
| What we want is the people to get the
habit of going to the stores to trade
and taking the things they buy home
with them Tt not only means the elm
| nation of the costs attendant on fire.
| quent deliveries, but it means better
| satisfied customers. The people will
| know just what they are buying and
/ be a lot better satisfied than when
| they make purchases over the telephone.
| We must get some way to solve the de
livery problem if Kenosha is going to
| dc its part in the economy movement
provided by the National Council of
Defense. Economy must be purchased
by the merchants as well as the people
who buy their stocks, to be really eff
! factive economy. -

ISOLATION ordered to look into the con
ditions Of street lights in the downtown
district has a surprise in store for the

IS that the lights now are Just as bright
and if anything a little brighter than
when the were first installed. The
manager is going to tell the whole as

satisfactory and he has accepted to be
a speaker at an early dinner of the as

THREE HUNDRED EXAMINED
Men Sent to Jail Spoke Slightingly
Against Nation and Refused to Make
Answers to Questions One Gains
Liberty Later-May Get Permit.

Three alien enemies who failed to
show proper interest in the issuance Of
permits or who made sighting remarks
against the government, were sent to
jail on Tuesday on the orders OF
United States Deputy Marshal McCan-
many The list included: +, j. Fisher,
Christian Bunk and Alfred Steinseifer.
Fisher was released on Tuesday even
ING after he had made statement to
the federal official. He will probably
be granted a permit, but under restric-
tions. For the present he is instructed
to report to the postmaster every Sat
urday afternoon at two O'Clock and his
case will be held open pending his
good behavior. The other two men sent
to the Jail to cool off and to get into
touch with the idea Of the American
government, we're still being held to-
day. it is declared that one of them
made sighting remarks against the
United States. CT don It care a
damn for this country" he is alleg-
ed to have said
The future action on these cases will
,nater to hn decided, BY Upited
States Marshal Samuel w. Randolph
aud United States District Attorney
Sawyer in Milwaukee.
The federal officials worked up to
midnight Tuesday night to take care
of the applications of Kenosha alien
enemies FOR permits apd even then the
work was not completed and small
force was busy this morning making
an effort to clean up. Deputy Marshal
McCanany left for Racine early today
to begin the work of examining large
classes Of alien eiemies there.
1t is not known when the formal
permits will be sent to the Kenosha
applicants, but it is probable that all
of them will be issued within the next
month. Most of the more than three
hundred aliens from Kenosha who ap
piled came through clean. Many OF
them declared their willingness to fight
JIM the armies of the United States "A
large number of them were people who
udC lthlNSu III GiiC CIby anu SouhCy Ioi
many years and many of them had
taken out first papers, but had failed
to make application for full citizen
ship Many of them declared that they
had been voting in Kenosha city and
county for many years and that they
had Just simply overlooked taking steps
to make themselves full citizens.
The federal officials urged men who
sought permits to back UP the applica
tion for permits by renouncing their
allegiance to the mother country and
many applications for both first and
second papers were fled ON Tuesday
Tt is understood that in several cases
applications were being closely scrui
tinted and there may be number OF
aliens in the city who will not receive
permits. Just what win be done with
these people remains to be seen.
Many leaders among the German
born people of the city have shown {
willingness to aid the federal Official,
in every way possible way in the worl
Of lining up the alien population.
1t is possible that there have beer
some of the alien eremies overlooked
and that the federal officials will find il
necessary to name another day. for The
taking Of applications in Kenosha.
