LETTER FROM NURSE.

Mrs. Chris j. Jensen, of SIS Newell
street, has received the following let
ter from her daughter, Miss Laura Jen-
sen, Red Cross Nurse, who has just
arrived in England on her way to
France.
South Western Hotel,
Southampton.
Dear Mother:
Have been royalty received, and en-
tertained at -, as well as here. We
realize here we are at war, even more
than in New York. Haven It had any
sugar so far, but the food is good.
Shall never forget our pleasant voy-
age over.
This morning we passed some very
beautiful estates, also quaint villages.
/ can hardly realize yet we are across
the water, as England certainly ism It
foreign to us. The money difficulty is
is the only thing that reminds us we
are not in the States. To be sure, the
buildings are different. Absence of
skyscrapers is very noticeable. Tt is
wonderful how you find things just as
you had expected. We see SO many
streets, just as they were pictured,
which helps to make us feel at home.
The marks of this horrid war are seen
at every turn, in the empty sleeve,
pants leg and loss Of eyes. These brave
people have done 50 much, we certainly
owe a great deal to them for what
they have already done.
We each received a message of wei
come from King George ". yesterday
while at lunch and were thanked for
coming.
Hope you are not worrying in the
least about me. Am feeling fine and
in the best of spirits. Am SO thankful
that I have no fear. Love to all.
Laura.

PUT WREATHS ON GRAVES OF
BOYS IN FRANCE.

"WhiIe / write this / can hear the
machine guns in an air battle,'' writes
Miss Marion Rottman, Evacuation Hos

Rottman, So. Pleasant street. "The
minute we hear plane in the dis

Last Sunday helped to decorate
the graves of fallen heroes. At eleven
a truck drew up in front of the hos
pital, with one man from every com
pany in the regiment. They had a
wreath for every man who had fallen
and wanted them placed by the hands
of American women. Two other nurses
seat of the truck and the boys piled
In after me. We rode several miles
to where the boys were buried. The
graves were all mounded and little
wooden cross at the head of each one.
The boys, each carrying a wreath,
marched to the foot of the graves. A
few words were said by the chaplain
and following q short prayer we placed
wreath on each grave. It was very
sad. After the service the boys wan
dered about the graves

PRAISE FOE KENosHA WOMEN.
Women Urged TO Hatp Stricken
Families and Continue Work at
Hospitals.

Too much cannot be said of the won
derful work of the women In Keno
sha, in their efforts to wipe out this
great epidemic. Through their gen
erous help many people have been able
to survive attacks of Spanish influenza
and pneumonia.
The response at the hospitals and at
the Isolation Hospital has been Won
derfnl, and the women are still COM
ing forward in this great call Of hu-
mainly.
The Kenosha, Hospital is still In
need of a permanent cook, but SO far
it has been quite impossible to secure
one. But it is hoped that one can be
found before the day is over.
The people of Kenosha are asked
to continue sending custards, iellies,
fruit juices, gelatine, buildings and
grape juice. These delicacies are in
great demand, and it is quite impos.
sible to give time for the preparing of
these foods at the hospital People are
kindly asked by the hospital to call for
their dishes and etc, etc., the next
day, as they have no way of returning
these articles to the different homes.
One of the great calls now, is for
women to volunteer to help in the
homes, In many cases whole families
are stricken with the disease, and
these people are sadly in need of some
one to care for them. If people will
be willing to help these people for
humanity's sake, it it thought possible
that the disease can be checked.

Women Of Kenosha Being
Enlisted Under Council of
Defense for Aid In
Fighting Influenza.
MRS. LANCE LEADS IN WORK
Women Are Being Urged to Give a
Part Of Their Time Daily to Big
Task of Caring for Sick Who
Have No Caretakers.

Mrs. A. Fl. Lance, chairman of the
Home and Foreign Relief Department
Of the Woman's Committee, Council
Of Defence, is in charge Of recruiting
volunteers to help the Health Depart
ment stamp out the influenza plague.
This means that every available woman
in Kenosha is needed to give of her
time, her strength and her courage to
help fill the places left vacant by the
nurses whose post of duty is on the
battle front.
"Our war just now is herein Ken
osha-and its woman IS war. Women
are needed who will give one, two or
three hours day every day where
possible" said Mrs Lance, "to go into
homes and help. 1t means just help
not responsibility. 1t may mean wash
ingdishes and setting the house in or
der; it may mean relieving a tired
mother who has been on duty all
night without a wink of sleep; it may
mean errands or the preparing OF food
Tut in every case it means holding out
the helping hand to those who are in
need--not financial need-and it means
the saving of little children, for more
than 60 per cent of the cases are
are among Children The Health
Board has placed in Mrs. Lance s hands
list of homes where help of this kind
is sorely needed. Each ward chairman
Of the Woman s Committee is making
list of volunteer helpers in her ward,
which will be turned over to Mrs.
Lance and it is not expected that
women VIII be asked to go outside of
their own wards. The names of the
ward chairmen and their telephone
numbers are as follows:
First Ward-Mrs. James Anderson,
No. 81.
Second ward-Mrs. W. H. Afford,
1924.
Third ward-Mrs. W. H. Vincent,
$50.
Fourth Ward--Mrs. L. J. Parrish,
3437.
Fifth Ward Miss Ida March, 1915.
SlXGn w dTQ--MTS. JdueS M 6IS, OH.
Seventh Ward-Miss Mamie Lippert,
1907.
EIGHTH Ward Mrs. James Blair,
1860.
Ninth Ward--Mrs. w. B. Steiner,
1924.
Call up the chairman Of your ward,
offer your help and state how many
hours you can give.
Our men are fighting their fight
on the battle front. Never have the
sons of Kenosha's women failed to re-
spond when the command came to go
forward. We women like to think that
our sons get some of their grit de-
termination and courage from their
mothers. This influenza epidemic is
impeding war work and lessening
America s efficiency. The women must
help to stamp it out.
Custards, soup and other delicacies
or nourishing foods for the sick may
be sent to Mrs. A. H. Lance, at 800
Prairie avenue, until further notice.
She will see that they are sent where
most needed.

MANY OFFICERS DENOTED
TN NATIONAL ARMY RANKS

Gen. Pershing's recommendation that
only officers who show the highest ef-
dciency be placed in command of troops
sent to France has resulted in the de-
motion of many officers who, in the
early months of the war, We're pro-
moted from ranks of majors and cap
tains in the Regular Army to that of
colonel in the National Army. Recent
Army orders show that more than fifty
such officers have relinQuished their
higher commissions in the National
Army az the result of reports of officers
Of the inspector generals department
that they had failed to attain the
standard required.
A large proportion of the officers who
have lost their temporary promotions
will be tried in other posts for which
they are better equipped. The re-
mainder will go back to units of the
Regular Army in their former grade.
The vacancies left by these changes
will be filled largely by promoting tenn
porarily other Regular Army officers.
