One REGISTRANT
EVERY z MINUTES
This Is the Rate at Which
Business Was Transacted
at the City Hall
Today.
.450 ARE ExPECTED
Many Young Men Go to Great Lakes
and Enlist at Once and Skip the
Registration at the City
$50 ARE EXPECTED

Kenosha young men. who have at
tanned the age Of twenty-one years
since June 5, 1917 have been coming
into the registrar s office as the City
Hall. and registering at the rate of one
every two minutes since seven-thirty
o 'clock this morning. At ten-thirty
O'Clock ninety had registered.
1t is estimated by the board that
four hundred and fifty will have regis
tered by nine O'Clock tonight, the hour
for closing. This estimate is based on
the registration of last year at which
time Kenosha registrants numbered
forty-fve hundred. The board estimates
that the registration today will be ten
per cent of that.
However, while steady stream Of
registrants has been pouring into the
council chamber at the City Hall there
has also been steady stream of auto
mobiles moving to Great Lakes carry.
ing young men who went for the pur-
pose of enlisting. The automobiles be-
gan to move at four 'clock this morn
ing and the estimate of ten per cent of
four hundred and fifty for this regis
tration may be considerably cut down
on account of the men going direct
ly and enlisting.
The registrars at the City Hall have
already found three young mon who
should have registered June last year,
but the fault is not their own. It is
the fault of having received the wrong
information from persons who were
supposed to know. For instance, one
young man who was in the National
Guard last year was told by the colonel
in command that his being in the Ma
tional Guard obviated the necessity
of his registering as he was already in
the service of the government.
The registration at the City Hall is
being done by the attorneys of the city
They are Richards Cavanagh, W. w
Hammond, G. A. Mittelstaed, E. F.
Higgins, Arthur Albrecht, G. E. Ran
dali and AL. Meiss, Albert COMFORT
and S. P. Bracevic are acting as
interpreters.
Whenever the registrars find man
who has no employment they give him
the name and address Of some factory
and send him him out there and fix
things up for him to get job.
Quite a number coming in have not
taken out their first papers. Regis
trants of this class are asked why they
have not done so. Of course, this is
outside of the regulation set of ques
tions, but it enables the registrars to
in a good many instances, give the
registrant some valuable information
about becoming a citizen of the United
States, and again it gives the regis
trars information as to the reason the
registrant does not wish to become 6
citizen of this country. Some of then
want to go back when the war is oven
and do not wish to become citizens Of
Uncle Sam S country and others think
if they become citizens of this country
they would not be allowed to go back
even on visit.
Registrars are coming in very
slowly at the Court House. Myron H
Hale is in charge there and up to ten
thirty only nine persons had presented
themselves for registrtion.

Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea and Royal Neighbors
Decorate Graves of De-
parted Members.
ADDRESS BY Or. TAYLOR

Memorial Day services were held by
Pike Woods Camp No. 391, Modern
Woodmen of America, and the auxiliary
order, Lake View Camp No. 1926,
Royal Neighbors of America at Green
Ridge cemetery beginning at three
O'Clock Sunday afternoon.
The members of the Royal Neighbors
assembled at the Park street entrance
to the cemetery at three O'Clock and
the Woodmen assembled at their hall
and marched to the cemetery where
they were joined by the Royal Neigh
bors and all marched to the grave Of
Royal Neighbor Emma Steiner where
the Royal Neighbor services were held.
This program was carried out by the
Royal Neighbors: Prayer, by Rev. O..
W. Taylor; song, "Some Day." Mildred
Murray; ritualistic services by the
Oracle of the lodge, Mrs. William
Steiner; song, GIVE Shall Meet But
We Shall Miss Her." Mildred Muir
ray; recitation, Mrs Waterstradt; dec
Grafton of graves; prayer by the
Chancellor.
This closed the Royal Neighbor serv-
ices and the procession reformed and
marched to the grave of Neighbor
Rhapstock where the Modern Woodmen
services were held. Arriving at the
grave it was covered with flowers
brought by the Neighbors, after which
this program was carried out: Song,
"Abide With Me- male quartette;
prayer, by Rev. O. W. Taylor; rituals
tic services, by Consul M. G. Schulien;
song "We Shall Meet But We Shall
Miss Him. male quartette; address,
Rev. 0. w. Taylor; song, "sleep on
Beloved" male quartette; Woodmen
honors, by members Of the order.
In his address among other things
Rev. O. w. Taylor said:
81 am glad to have the privilege of
saying few words along the line Of
the hope we all have in Immortality. It
is not all of life to live here. By re-
ferring to the Book of Job we hear this
worldold question: IF man die shall
be live againg'
"This is the old, old question and
yet to all flesh it is ever new and one
that man never wearies of. Is there
something in this body that never dies?
Something that outlasts time? Chris
tianity says there is something in
man that never dies. There are many
evidences about US today that man
never dies. I believe it is scientific.
Take this body which is animated by
something we call spirit and touch it
with something we call death and it
ceases to live. Did you never notice
the electric wires turning night into
day? Bring a wire connected with a
supply wire into ground connection
and everything goes out. 1t is the
same with the something which re-
leases this personality and we call it
death. The ground wire did not effect
the electricity. It just conducted it
In another direction It is the same
with this thing we call death. 1t
just conducts the spirit of man into
another course.
s1From the scientific standpoint
death touches your body like fire

Of course that ordinance to regulate
the milk supply is a little long, but
Kenosha has gone a long time without
regulation and it's going to take a
long ordinance and lot of hard work
enforcing it to save the lives of the
babies. Members Of the council
can not spend their time in any bet
ter way than giving this ordinance the
consideration it deserves.

Well it's worth while to know that
the directory is no longer disfgured

of the halls in the city. Now the
next thing will be the elimination
of the name of Milwaukee avenue
and it will be changed to Democracy

The jitney men are just like the rail
way company. They want some one
else to bear all the burdens and let
them take all the profits. Of course,
the proposed ordinance does not appeal
to them worth a cent. 1t would mean
the division of profits with the city and
the protection of people who ride.

The Kenosha laboring men who is a
real patriot will stick right to his job
and see to it that Kenosha does it's full
part in keeping war industries in
operation. To run away like Stacker
now with view Of getting al easier
Job, is the worst kind of treason to
the nation.

The contention of Manager Callen-
der in his latest efusion reads like a
scratchy photograph record. Really it
is time to turn it over and play the
other side. May be that the other
side has some glorious record telling
of how company co-operated with o
city to make the city bigger and make
the company greater. At any rate turn
the record over and try it out.

Expert West of the park board, can
draw beautiful picture, but somehow
we can't help but think of the fellow

ing population to recreate in.

The Health Board will probably
agree that it is decidedly unsanitary
to have decaying garbage can in the
back yard. The Health Department
has the power to remedy such condi-
lions in Kenosha.

The one best bet is that the man
who wants to make money out of or

needed to pitch hand grenades over

Bombing hospitals and sinking I'M
armed trawlers are the mighty acts of
the Germans. 1t is evident that the
German submarine which operates in
the American waters knows just as
much of the honor of war as the bomb
ing airplane which assault hospitals
behind the lines in France and Belgium.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1918-06-06

Blase New York paid no more atten-
ton to the submarines than Paris does
to hundred mile gun or a bombing
aeroplane. Surely we are getting the
"war nerves" now. Why if a SUBJ
marine would come over into Lake
Michigan most of us would probably
be out on the lake front watching for
the sport.

Evidently the German IS efforts to get
an earful of information by the capture
of American prisoners have resulted
mostly in getting a belly full of the
kind of fighting that the Americans are
putting up. Most of the Germans
seem to be willing to give up the hope
of the earful rather than take the
belly full.

And while your are applying to the

And in a little while Kenosha will
have enough discarded fire and police
wagons to start up railway of its own.
The rolling stock would be just about
as good as the people have been accus-

If Mr.. Cooper would have shown

Buying the Harmon property may be
a part of the plan of the park board
for a real park system, but it might be
just as well 20 let it go until after we
are through driving submarines away

needs the money now more than the
city needs the park.

touches your house. Not an atom of
either is lost. The spirit is not lost
nor destroyed by that which we call
death. The glory of the Christian faith
is that the spirit is only transmitted.
The Scriptures teach it and so does
science that death touches the body
and releases the spirit. Is it unscien-
tife to think we are going to live after
we put this body away. Does it not
seem logical that we shall live where
the limitations are swept backa I
thank God for this Christian faith
which gives us this truth that we
shall go on living and loving forever
and forever.n

Twelve Fingers of Haig & Haig

The Oasis knows we'll a
Scotchman who is a great adj
mirer of Field Marshal Haig;
and he is somewhat of a con-
noisseur in the widely celebrat-
ed products of Haig &, Haig.
When the allied drive COM
menced another friend wired
him an account of the battle
was going admonishing him to
'.'Take about three fingers OF
Haig & Haig in washtub, on
me-" Which was done next
day.
Next day there came more
cheering news with the admoni
ton:
"Take four fingers of Haig
& Haig today" =
Another day and more VIC
tory coming along the wire, and
the admonition read:
1 "Take five fingers today"
!. This continued from day to
day, on a rising scale, and inch
per day, and yesterday the tel
egram ended with the author
ity:
"Take twelve fingers today"
Where the limit will be reach
ed is a problem.
But if the recipient of the
news and instructions followed
the text of the telegram, it is
safe to say that he imagined
himself in the arms of the
twelve armed goddess af Hindu
mythology. ~

PROBABLY SPAIN SEES SOMETHING AHEAD
TO THE MER-

Today Mr.. j. ]. Schleimer, of
the Southwestern Investment
& Realty Co., will depart for
San Francisco, to enter
the United States School of
Navigation, to qualify for SER
vice in the Merchant Marine
branch of the American war ac-
tivities.
Mr.. Schleimer has been a con
spicuous figure in business cir
cles in the line city through a
period of several years, and he
has become known well and
widely. He will be missed by a
large number of warm friends
he has made during his So
journ here.
The gentleman embraces
every opportunity to manifest
his patriotism. Beside his en-
listment he has signalized his
departure by making arrange
ments for subscription of
$4,000 to the fourth Liberty
Loan, and for $4,000 in war
thrift stamps.
