BADGERS MEET IN MID-oCEAN.
I'll. G. Nelson Finds Fred Bahr and
Three Racine Men on his Ship
Bound for ENGLAND and France.

4OICC L0oCAAO NICu Ou Ills OIl4U
Bound for England and France.
Son Wisconsin and go you Keno
sha" were never spoken more fervent-
ly than somewhere in mid-Atlantic
when III. G. Nelson, jackie in the
United States Navy and son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Andrew Nelson of Evergreen
street, found Fred Bahr, formerly an
employee of the Kenosha News Pub
fishing Company but now a private in
the Engineering corps, on board "his y
ship, bound for England and the war
zone.
The details of the meeting are
brought to Kenosha by a letter from
young Nelson in which he assures his
mother that he and his Kenosha friend
made the crossing without incident and
with no little reminiscence of the old
days before the war.
On the same boat with Young Nell
son and Private Bahr were the Hansen
brothers from Racine. One of them
had only recently come from Den
mark to the United States and formed
a strong liking for Cadet Nelson, who
speaks Danish fuently and could tell
him much about the new developments
in the war as well as the folks back
home.
The letter states further that Cadet
Nelson has received A. new nromOtion
He is now first class seaman with
good prospects of being made a petty
officer by fall. In view of the fact
that he is still under twenty his ad-
vancement in the navy has been high
ly remarkable.
His despatch also relates that sub
marines are causing less alarm than
formerly and that now they are usual
.ly sunk on sight, so accurate is the
workmanship of the Yankee gurners.

BLAZE PATH FOR OTHERS.
Frank Junior High Schools Adopt
French War Orphan and Give
Generously for it's Support.

One more war orphan in France is
accounted for in 1918 and in spite of
the fact that his or her father has died
fighting for the tricolor and liberty
this little one will not lack for food or
clothing. The pupils of the Frank
Junior High School on Tuesday agreed
almost unanimously to each give dime
that the school might adopt one or
phan Cover there' and already from
the three hundred and eighty six pu-
pills more than the requisite 1850 for,
the support of the orphan has been
raised
!" Yes, it was all voluntary sub
scription. No pupil had to pay and
we did not ask anyone for more than
dime and the way the money rolled
in was pleasant surprise to every
one of us, - said Miss Maud YuIe, Prin-
cipal of the school this morning. "Of
course with some of the children, ten
cents represented real sacrifice and
for that reason, the gift made them
feel all the more that they were really
helping to send little sunlight across
the Atlantic
It is believed that the example of
the Frank Junior High School will be
followed in esveral of the schools of
the city. The enrolment in this di-
vision of the Frank School is one of
the smallest in the city and it is
thought that anyone of the schools will
find the way clear to follow suit and
adopt one of the war orphans of heroic
France. The money will be sent
through the Kenosha Branch of the
!" Fatb@-lAas Children of France

A SOUVENIR FROM BRITAIN.
Harold Bresnahar Sends a Striking
Memento OF the "Tuscania'' to
the Folks Back Home.

Complete success eliminates a man
from his fellows, but suffering makes
kinsmen of us ALL"
This quotation from Ebert Hub
bard, blazoned on the front sheet of
a theatre program, expresses the spirit
of.a souvenir recently sent to Kenosha
by a local survivor of the EsTuscania =
disaster, Harold Bresnahan, once a
soldier in Company "M" and now
fighting beneath the Stars and Stripes
somewhere in France.
The folder-that s what it is--pre-
sents the bill at the Palace Theatre in
southampton, England, on the occasion
of benefit entertainment in honor Of
g contingent of the American army,
survivors of the Tuscania. -
The performance, styled CA Gala
Matinee" was given "by kind permits
sion OF the colonel and officers on
the afternoon of Wednesday, February
Goth, 1918. It's offerings included
'SClara Coverdale and the Nine Dainty
Dots" in their brilliant spectacle
"The Kilties on Parade rs. @. NJ.
S., Hidden Mirth, Magic, and Mystery"
and "The Latest Comedy Revue, The
Love Chase in Three Scenes
There is "only this and nothing
more but it is enough to speak and
speak eloquently of the hospitality and
consideration accorded the "Tuscania .
heroes by British civilians and com
patriots.

MUTT AND JEFF IN KHAKI.
Kenoshans at Camp Custer are Famous
as the Military Counterparts of
the Popular Funny Folks.

Frank Anderson and John Kraft have
won distinction at Camp Custer Among
the khaki-lads they are known as the
Mutt and Jeff of Battle Greek.
Snapshots from the Michigan can
torment tell their story in pictures.
Silhouetted against background Of
implanted barracks they look exactly
what they claim to be- the tallest
and the smallest man. among the
Badger Sammies.
Despite the discrepancy in their
sizes the soldiers manage to get their
heads together occasionally and have
become great cronies.
As a consequence they are widely
known at Camp Custer. Very fire.
quently as they walk down the impro-
vised streets at the northern training
school their comrades will remark,
t'The1e goes the long and short of it "
or go you Mutt and jeff
The local Sammies don't mind the
attention that they get in fact they
rather like it. 1t makes them differ
ent and when SO many are the same
that s something anyway.

'1CH UND GOTT''
The Kaiser Prayer at Twilight as
Rendered Into English by Mrs.
S. Gottlieb of Kenosha.

"Please, God, annex Russia to nv
geological gardens and add Paris and
London to my Victory Avenue in Ber-
lin by May 1918. Also make Alsace-
Lorraine football; it would be such
fun to toss it back and forth.
, ''Thy will be done on earth as
mine is done in Germany.
Forgive us our trespasses as I for
give England her trespasses against
me; and lead US not into humiliation
for thine and mine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory forever
and ever.
Therefore, I beseech, o God, to an
mex the English channel to my palace
at Potsdam for my private natatorium
in order that I may thereafter invite
Uncle Sam to submarine party in
the waters and force him to acknowl-
edge "Mich und Dich."
"As regards Poland and Belgium and
other small fry do not need your
help. I and Hindenburg can rule them
with the mailed fist and frightfulness.
But 0 God, help me to strafe Eng
land, France, and America.
HTn the name of the Kaiser, the
Crown Prince, and Won Ludendorf, we
make this our super-prayer for power
to subjugate the world and force all
men to acknowledge us as world-rulers
with Thee-Amen and Amen"

WAR NOTES.
woman's Committee G. G. of D.


1. Have I purchased war savings
certificate or thrift stamp this week
Why not? Because no one came and
reminded me of my intention to buy
2. Have pledged myself to buy
weekly? Have / made good? No, be
cause it was matter Of intention ra-
ther than definite agreement.
3. How may avoid depending on
good intentions9 By signing as mem
Der of war savings society, by which
will be reminded of my pledge.
A. Why should do this7. Because
some of the group with which I associ-
ate are now in service. I want to get
behind them. I want them to know we
are supporting them.
5. Must I form new society? No,
the old one viii do. Bring this propo-
sition before your society or lodge.
6. What can society do that an
individual cannot9 It can provide ma
ehinery necessary for collections. It
can induce members to do their best.
Ii can induce us all to save.
Z. Why is group saving more effec-
tive than individuals Because you pat
tern your expenditures in the fashion
of your associates.
8. What is back of the war savings
campaign? Saving and serving. Uncle
Sam expects every citizen to serve by
releasing his command of labor and

ARE BUYING w. S. STAMPS.
Bulletins From Washington Show That
Loyalists are Investing Mil
lions in BABY Bonds

Three hundred thousand War Saw
ings Societies are being organized,
with a membership of pledged War
Savers estimated at 100000.
Treasury receipts from the sale of
War Savings Stamps are already near
ing the $10o,oO0,oo0 mark and are
running at the rate of $12,00o,00O a
week.
The National War Savings Commit
tee, in commenting on the rapid devel-
opment of the savings campaign, au-
thorizes this statement:
The 100000 a day now flowing
into the Treasury from the small saw
ings of the people indicate what a
great reserve the Government has to
draw on in national emergency.
For the business of war the Nation
has need each day for the labor pro-
ducts of millions of citizens engaged
in agriculture, mining, manufacturing
and transportation. Money alone will
not command these necessities of war.
But as the people reduce their ex-
penditures for personal comforts and
Injuries, and put their surplus earn
ings into Government loans, they trans
fer their buying power to the Govern
ment. Two millions day saved and
loaned to the Nation means two mil
lions to be spent by the Government to
win the war instead of by private citi-
zens for personal satisfaction.
The $1OO,0O0,O0O Of spending power
already put at the service of the Gov
eminent by the buyers of war savings
securities has transferred from mil
lions of pocketboOks to the national
Treasury command of the labor and
materials to build a feet of a hun
dred and twenty-five 5000 ton ships.
American War Savings are already
running ahead of the sale of War Saw
ings Certificates in England.

CHARITIES FINDS Way OUT
Kenosha Associated Charities Takes
Hold of Case and With Help of Local
Attorney Secures Better Living
Conditions for Family.

Job, that patient character of an-
cient history, may have had great
deal to put up with in his boils, but
he has rival in one Kenosha woman,
the mother of nine children and until
recently the wife of a poor provider.
For seventeen long weeks this wo-
man and her brood of nine youngsters
were quarantined with scarlet fever,
while one after another, the whole
family was taken down. But despite
all the worry and work of caring for
her family through this ordeal, the mo-
ther remained cheerful, and when It
was all over she told friends she had
never felt so happy and contented in
all her married life as during the per-
iod of quarantine This was because
she had taken her troubles to the AS
ISOLATED Charities just before the scar
let fever came.
When the family came to the atten-
tion of this organization the children
were all undernourshed, the house
was poorly furnished, and the mother
had to borrow shoes in order to go
down town. She had even lost her
teeth and was unable to buy a false
set, so that she was suffering from in
digestion.
There was no good reason for this
condition, for the husband and father
was building tradesman earning good
money. His money, however, went for
drink and other things than household
expenses.
1t became apparent to Miss Timme
of the Associated Charities and to the
District Attorney that the man could
not be made to take good care of his
family, and that the family was better
eff without him. Therefore it was de-
cided to respond to the woman IS plea
for aid in obtaining a divorce. Such
action is very rare with the Associated
Charities, because in every case all pos
sible efforts are made to keep a family
together.
A leading attorney gladly contributed
his services to help the woman to free
dom, and alimony was obtained Of $40
week and sent. Since the divorce,
the woman has taken new interest in
life. She and her children are better
fed and better clothed. The young
sters are all IL school and doing well.
At Christmas time they were recipients
of bounty from the Elks, the Saliva
ton Army, and kindly neighbors. She
never tires Of telling how much the
Associated Charities and these other
agencies have done to make her happy,
ard to keep her family from being
public charge.
And that is why this woman had
"the patience Of Job" The peace and
quiet of being alone with her children
without the disturbing influence which
she had endured through many years
of married life was like new life to
her SO that she did not mind the quar-
antine. A practical nurse who was
placed in the home by the Associated
Charities to help the family through its
trouble said she had never known a
more congenial household.

How fares 1t these days with Ameri-
