TWO CARDS ARE PROVIDED
Kenosha Men Must Give the Full State
ment of Their Condition In Life to
the Registration Board - Married
and Single Men to Be Registered.

The city officials are ready for the
draft. Mayor Charles III. Pfennig has
received from the War Department of
the United States government the
blanks which are to be used in making
the registration of the male citizens of
the city of Kenosha subject to military
duty. 1t is expected that County Clerk
in the county within the next few days
These blanks are sent out by the War
Department with the. understanding
that they will be held until such time
as the President issues proclamation
setting the day for registration. 1t
is expected that this day will be
early in June.
There will be but one day for regis
tration and the men who fail to regis
ter on that day will be subject to arrest
and Imprisonment. Two cards are pro-
vided for the registration. One is to
be held by the registration officials and
it is known as Registration Card. -
Some of the facts to be enumerated on
this card are name in full, - tfhome
address, date of birth, whether
naturalized or alien, place of BIRTH
trade or occupation, name of employer,
where employed, married or single,
race, military service whether in this
or some other country. In addition to
a full statement of these facts the
person to be registered must give
the full list of the members of his
family showing all dependents, includ
ing sisters and brothers.
Affirmation must be made to the
registration card after it has been
signed, but no provision is made for
the formal attestation oath.
The card which goes to the registered
person is known as Registration
Certificate This certificate shows
that the person in question has sub
mitted himself to registration.
The card is an ornamental card and
looks like one of the Reward of
Merit cards given to school boys.
1t is expected that between three
and five thousand of these cards will be
issued to young men in Kenosha county.
The blanks for registration indicate
that both married and single men must
appear for registration.
There vii, be registration by mail
and men from Kenosha who may be in
other cities and states on the day set
for registration may appear before
proper registration officers in these
places and have their cards filed out
and forwarded to the proper officials
in the city and county.
These blanks and cards will be dis
tributed in the various election dis
tricts of the county in the same man
ner that the ballots are distributed for
the spring and fall elections. The men
in charge of the registration will have
no powers to grant exemptions. Their
work is purely of clerical nature and
their orders will be to register every
man Of the age specified and the ques-
tion of exemptions must later be taken
up by board of examiners.
1T is expected that one of these
boards will be provided for the city of
Kenosha and that this board will have
charge of examining mon from both
the city and county. Enlistment in
military companies does not exempt any
citizen from registration, but it does
exempt them from draft

A score of other passengers were
rubbing sore arms and doctoriRg bark
cd shins and railway men who saw the
wreck declared that it was nothing less
than a miracle than some of the passen-
gers were not killed and that more Of
them did not meet with serious injuries,
Within ten minutes after the electric
ear had plunged into the ditch am
balances were waiting ON Prairie
avenue to take care of the injured peo-
pie and the companyf instructed that all
injured be taken to the hospital
Officials oe the company were lit
tie reticent as to the details of the
accident The officials were on the
scene of the wreck long before the
special train picked upN the passengers
but no list of the passengers was given
out. The passengers themselves SEEM
ed to regard their flight into the
ditch as a good deal of a lark
md they did not care; to make any
extended statements.
The south-b car was in charge
Of w. Fresmer of Milwaukee as motor
man. 1t was coming along from the
north, at the average rate Of speed
forty miles an hour--and the motor
man suggested that the towerman
might have been little slow in set
ting the block. The train going
west was the new train on the North
Western which makes the morning run
10 the lake districts. 1t has been in
operation but few days and it
something of stranger to the men in
charge of the electric cars.
Hansen was watching the passenger
train and when it got close to the cross
ing he saw that it would be all but
impossible to prevent collision be-
tween the two trains and he set the
block Setting the block automatically
derailed the passenger train as an au-
tomato derail is installed just north
of the Prairie avenue crossing. Motor
man Fresmer had seen the danger Of
the collision and before he struck the
aerail he had set his brakes and
had made heroic effort to bring the
EAR to a stop AS he clamped on the
brakes the passengers were thrown
from their seats into the aisle of the
ear and second later the car
turned over on its side and dug it's
way into the gravel bank along the
side of the road
Fresmer stuck TO his wheel as the car
went into the ditch and turned over,
but he escaped practically uninjurod
The passengers in the car were thrown
into mass of legs and arms on the
side of the overturned car Conductor
Kroskie was so severely injured when he
was thrown against the rear end of the
car that he was unable to aid in the
rescue of the passengers. As the car
went into the ditch the rear door was
forced open and one by one the pas
sengers who had been slightly bruised
crawled out Of the overturned car and
formed their own rescue party to rescue
the more seriously injured. Jennings

 OF AN INVASION

SANAK, Alaska, March 2.-(Mail Correspondence. )-Andrew GroSvoId, the genial merchant of Sand point, has always been regarded as friend by the people of Sanak but his recent visit to the island savored more of piracy on the high seas" than of friendship to the island.
 On February l7 he sailed into the harbor, bringing with him Rev. D. A. Hotovitsky, dean of the Russian church at Unalaska. The next day, February IS, he betOOk himself to the local church where he was united in marriage with Mrs. Katie Hanson, one of Sanak's most beloved daughters and a few days later set sail for his Sand Point home, taking not only his bride but her mother, an adopted son and an adopted daughter, thus leaving a vacancy in the school and two homes. However, we all heartily wish
