CULBERTSON BRINGS
APPEAL TO PATRIOTS
food Conservation Mass Meeting This
Evening at the Armory TO be
Addressed by Leader.

One of the best war addresses of the
year is expected this evening when
DIR. Henry Coe Culbertson will adj
dress the food conservation mass meet
ing at the Armory at eight O'Clock.
The meeting is held under the auspices
of the Kenosha County Council of De-
Tense and is to further the program of
the conservation of food in Kenosha
county. DR.. Culbertson is one of sew
eral speakers who are making a drive
this week in Wisconsin for greater en-
thusiasm in this work and he is meet
ing everywhere with remarkable success.
"This is not to be women s meet
ing" said Food Administrator Bulla-
more this morning. "Men as well as
women have need to hear this plea for
conservation and we want everybody
to attend the meeting. Everyone that
eats and is a patriot-and that ought
to include every man and woman, at
least in Kenosha-should be at the
Armory this evening to hear the adj
dress. It's one Of the ways you can
help to win the war;"
Dr. Culbertson appeared in Racine
on Monday evening and took the city
by storm. His plea was masterpiece
of oratory and logic and came with
authority since he was in Europe at
the time that war broke out. So sue
cessful was his address that he has
r. Dc
been found necessary to reserve seats
far in advance for this second appear
ance. "The atrocities" he relates,
says one nearer from Racine, "seem I'M
believable to many, but he tells them
only as he has been informed upon well
substantiated reports. His address
is a marvellous help towards pointing
out our duty to the soldiers and
ourselves.

OPPOSE STATE WAR TAX
Administration Legislators In the
Wisconsin Assembly Voice Pro-
test Against Special Measure.
tBy United Press.)

Madison, Feb. 20-The Philip
administration will fight any at
tempt to levy special war taxes.
This was indicated today when
Speaker Lawrence Whitfield ruled
that the ''super income tax" bill,
introduced by a Socialist member
from Milwaukee, was not german
to the call and therefore could not
be considered in the special ses-
sion of the legislature. In a vote
on the ruling the Speaker was up
held SO to "a after a hot debate.
In the Senate there was more OPP
position to Philipp's plan for a
bond issue of $1,O00,OO0 to be paid
off when the government reimburses
the state funds. Senator Wilcox,
anti-administration man, offered
measure providing for a $1,000,000
bond issue at 4 per cent to mature
in 1919 and to be met by a sink
ing fund created by the taxation
from one to sixteen per cent of
all war incomes of more than
$4,000. At ten-thirty this morn
ing the Assembly adjourned until
four this afternoon. Early this
morning a resolution was passed
urging Congress to permit soldiers
to send mail home without pay
ment of postage.

SERGT. MATT ZAPF Is
PLEASED WITH FRANCE
Kenosha Soldier Writes from cover
There to Tell Of Crossing and the
Camp Somewhere in France"

Sergeant Matt w. Zapf, who is now
serving with the colors across the At
lantic, is delighted with France and
says so plainly in letter recently re-
ceived by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph zapf, of Hanson street. II
wish you could see the farms over
here,'' he writes. "The grass is as
green as it is in July at home and it
sure looks grand The Kenosha ser
geant, with six other Kenoshans, is sta
toned at a large training camp some
where in France. He reports that the
gang is all well and happy now that
they are on land, but admits that they
q didn't care whether the ship went
down or not most of the time going
over. The soldier also mentions the
fact that he was at disaster stricken
Halifax for some time and saw the ruin
which had been caused there by the re-
cent explosion. The letter is full of
the exuberance and optimism which is
characteristic Of the soldiears serving
cold Glory in France.

OF 1T
TWO CENTS A CUP
Corporal zoubec of Kenosha, Now in
France Finds Coffee the Only
Cheap Article in France.

Everything costs more here than
in the United States except coffee
we can get cup of it for two cents in
u. S. money and it's good, too. +" This
is one of the interesting sidelights on
the life of Sammy in France shown
in a recent letter from Corporal Frank
J. Zoubek, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Zoubek of Milwaukee avenue. The Ke-
nosha corporal is a member Of one of
the Aero Squadrons of the American
Expeditionary Forces and is now sit
uated at a rest camp, awaiting ship
ment to another training camp. He
adds that the American soldiers do not
have to worry about prices because they
have good accommodations, good food,
have nothing to complain about and
are perfectly contented.
The letter describes life on the trans
port which carried the Kenosha airman
to the fighting zone. "Every day we
had our life boat drills and this was
about the only thing we had to do dur
ing the trip. When we arrived in the
submarine zone we had to wear our
life belts at all times and slept with
our clothes on. lost no sleep in worry
ing about submarines and for that mat
ter no one did. Warships accompanied
us all the way and when we got into
dangerous waters we wer met by more
boats and conveyed into port.
The French trains have caused the
Americans no end of amusement. The
Kenosha soldier says about them, "We
had good laugh at the trains we have
here. They have little toy steam en-
gines- that IS the way they look to us
pulling baby carts and they call it a
train. 7 They get over the ground,
though, and are helping to win the war.
Corporal Zoubek states that the mail
service from France will be necessarily
slow and that Kenosha friends of sol
diers should not become impatient for
letters.

of the Medical examiners of the 340th
Infantry at Camp Custer spoke to the
Kenosha doctors at the Chamber of
Commerce Assembly Hall on Tuesday

followed by the examiners Of the army
in reaching decision as to the
physical fitness of registered men. He
declared that many bad mistakes had
been made by examining physicians
and urged that physicians in charge Of
examinations follow the army methods.

GROUND FOR
COMRADES In ARMS
Kenosha County Boys in Blue and
the Soldiers of 1T to Lie Side by
Side After Last Taps are Sounded.

Kenosha County's grizzled veterans
of 81 and '65 and her soldiers of 1T
were united by a new bond of COM
radeship recently when the remaining
Boys in Blueo of the Fred S. Lowell
Post of the Grand Army of the Republic
voted unanimously that the burial
ground at the Green Ridge Cemetery,
which so long has been held for the
burial Of their fallen comrades shall
also become the burial place for t1ose
soldiers who fall In the service of
"Old Glory" in the present war. A
score of veterans of the War of the Re
bellion now lie buried in the hallowed
ground and beside them is room for
an equal number who may fall in this
year in fighting for the same freedom
which the FEBoys in Blue defended.
I'VE feel said one of the old sol
diers, "that no man who serves the
colors and dies in their defense should
be forced to lie buried in some I'M
forgotten corner of a cemetery. We feel
that they have won the right to be
buried by the side Of their comrades
of another year and we are glad to
pay this tribute to them. We are glad
that this plot of ground will be for
ever hallowed by the blood of those
men of two generations who rose in
their might to defend the flag of our
country.
The G. A. R. lot in the Green Ridge
Cemetery, which has now become the
final resting place of the "Boys in
Blue" and the Boys in Khaki" who
are not buried in family plots, is the
yearly shrine of the soldiers and civil
ians of Kenosha in the commemoration
of Decoration Day. The ranks of the
soldiers of 81 have been slowly thin
ming for years and it is certain that
there will be room in the hallowed
ground for the remains of heroes of
II. 1t is significant of their true
comradeship that they shall pow be
privileged to await together the bugle
call for the grand reveille.

VETERAN DRUGGIST TO QUIT
w, S. Lamb in Petition Places His Liza
bihties at $500 - Kenosha Hard
ware Co. Scheduled Debts of $500
and Assets of $1,000.

Two Kenosha business firms appear.
ed on the dockets of the bankruptcy
division of the United States Court for
the eastern district of Wisconsin on
Tuesday afternoon when voluntary
petitions in bankruptcy were fled by
w. S. Lamb, well known north side
druggist and by the Kenosha Hardware
Company of Grand avenue The petit
lions were filed by Attorneys A. E.
Buckmaster and G. E. Randall and the
matter of appointment of trustees to
take over the business of the two
stores were referred to Referee m
Bankruptcy Milton Knoblock in Ra-
cine. 1t is expected that the APP
pointment Of bhe referee viii be made
within the next few days
w. S. Lamb is one Of the oldest Of
the retail druggists of the city and
he has been in business in Kenosha for
many years. The petition filed in this
case gives liabilities Of but $1,000 and
it asks that Edward H. HOLSTER be
named as trustee to clean up the BUSH
ness for the creditors.
The Lamb Drug Store is one Of the
e@. So Fgs1 twaukee
avenue and it was one of the first stores
on the avenue after it had been i'm
proved. 1t is understood that the
business will be closed out by the trus-
tee and that Mr.. Lamb will retire.
The petition of the Kenosha Hard
ware Company is fled by Charles
Stanhope, who has been in charge
of the management of the company
for number of years.
1t schedules Liabilities of $500 and
assest of $500. The petition asks
that H. G. Crook be named as trustee
under the proceedings. Tt is declared
that the largest claims against the
hardware company are filed by rela-
tives of it's manager.
For the most part, the claims against
the company and against the drug
store are small claims and it is ex-
pected that many local creditors viii
be represented on the lists of credi-
tors later. AS yet no formal date has
been set for the meeting of the ere
ditors in either case.
It is declared possible that the busi-
ness of the Kenosha Hardware Com
pany will be continued. The company
formerly had store in the Epstein
building on Main street but when this
building was rebuilt the business was
removed to the Grand avenue location.

HOLD EAU CLAIRE MAN
FOR INVESTIGATION
Arthur F. Tedorf, Who Was not Regis
tered in Draft, Says He Was
in the u. S. Army.

Arthur F. Tedorf, who seems to have
been known by number of other
Names is being held by the police de-
partment pending an investigation He
has no registration card and at his
home city-Eau Claire-the police are
making an investigation. The man is
twenty years of age and he admits
that he was at one time one of the
charges of Prof. Hutton at the Wau-
kesha school. He told the local police
that he was in the army on registra-
ton day, but that afterward he was
discharged. The police think that Te-
dorf may be wanted at Waukesha as
well as at Eau Claire and he was sent
back to the city lookup to await the
coming of officials from these places.
Lack of a registration card was the
cause of his being picked up here.

ALLIES AWAIT ATTACK
British and French Along the West
ern Front Are Anxiously Waiting
for the Great Offensive.
(By William Philip Simms).
Omitted Press staff Correspondent

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Armies In the
Field, Feb. 20. America, watch
the west front! Civilization is on
the threshold of the most colossal
battle of all time. The German
offensive is expected momentarily.
With every gill of fighting blood
Germany has left; with every belt
and nut of its war machinery in
hand; with every ounce of strength
of every kind behind them, linden
burg and Ludendorff may hurl all
into a finish fight. For Hohen-
zollernism, this may be the critical
hour. The Germans will use tanks,
like the British, for the first time.
Some of these will be equipped
with mortars, others with machine
guns. They viii move almost
four miles an hour. The enemy is
counting largely on gas. 1t is not
likely its bombardment will last
long. It's infantry will be driven
forward with unprecedented feroc-
ity-German fashion-af a few
hours of intense Smelling. All
pieces-from trench mortars to A.
centimeter guns will smash
against the British. The attack
probably will center in the Cam
brai region, although synchronized
blows are expected all along the
front The Germans probably will
play their trench mortars on the
barbed wire entanglements and
front support trenches. They will
use their heavy guns on battery po-
sitions, rear guards, railways, sus-
pected concentration and rear APP
proaches generally. A heavy per-
centage Of gas shells will be used
everywhere. High explosives will
be used against works. Then, in
endless waves, the Germans will be
driven like cattle through the holes
they hope to have torn. Like sharp
ers doping the workout of race
horses, the German officers are tell
ing their men Of the infallibility of
the scheme. Nevertheless, the
troops are doubtful. Impressions
outlined IN my Swiss dispatches are
borne out by statements made here
by prisoners-unfulfilled pan-Ger-
man promises of peace, plus the GER
tainty of defeat as soon as America
adds the full weight of its force,
mean Germany must do or die now.
The Germans undoubtedly will fight
like tigers. The whole future of
the world probably will be decided.
The Britons and their allies know
this and will act accordingly.
