KEN0SHA Marine
WOUNDEDIuFRANCE
Private Earl L. Learned of
Kenosha Is Mentioned as
Wounded i'm Today's
Casualty Lists.
LONG ON BATTLE FRONT
Wounded Man rs Son of MIR. and Mrs.
O. S. Learned of the Town Of Somers
and formerly Lived in Kenosha-
Last Heard From July 1st.

More Kenosha blood has been spilled
III the great fight to make the world
safe for Democracy as this afternoon
announcement is made by the war de-
partment that Private Earl Il. Learned,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. O. S. Learned who
reside in the town of Somers has
fallen while fighting with the mar
ines. He was wounded in action and
the degree of his wounds has not as
yet been determined. The parents of
Private Learned this morning received
formal announcement of his injury
from the war department and they hur-
ried to the city to make efforts to
ascertain further facts in the case.
Private Learned is eighteen years
Of age and he was fighting with the
United States Marine Corps as mem
Der of the 82nd Company Of the sixth
regiment. The regiment was in ac-
ton about Chateau Thierry in the re-
cent heavy fighting.
Private Learned volunteered for the
Marine corps a year ago last May
when he went to Milwaukee and en-
listed. He had been in France since
last October and FOR the past three
months he had been on the fighting
line. His parents had letter from
him which bore the date of July 1st
and at that time while unable to tell
where he was stationed he revealed
the fact that he had been in the front
line trenches with the Marines.
While in Kenosha Private Learned
made his home at 926 Fremont av-
enue. A sister Miss Eta Learned is
well known as teacher in the schools.
We have no further information
than that brother was wounded in ac-
tion to a degree undetermined said
Miss Learned when seen this after
noon. I've are hopeful that he will
survive. He has been in the service
for more than year and in his last
letter he was very enthusiastic over
his work in the Marine CORPS

FIND MISSING GIRLS
AT LOCAL HOTEL
Kleine Sisters. Missing from Racine
for Week, Are Located Here
And Taken Home.

Estelle Kleine, aged IS, and Mary
Kleine, aged Is, sisters, who have been
missing from their home in Racine for
the past week, were located at hotel
in Kenosha on Monday evening and
later in the evening they were turned
over to Racine women to be taken
back to their home in that city. The
girls had no statement to make when
they were found in Kenosha but they
promptly admitted their identity and
made no objection to returning to Ra-
cine. Racine people who came after
the girls were equally reticent They
asserted that there were no charges to
file against the girls in Racine but that
they had been missing from that city
for a week. The girls had been we'll
supplied with money and they seemed
to prefer to leave the cloak Of mystery
about their leaving home and coming
to Kenosha.

Decide FATE OF
COUNTY FARM
County Board in Special
Session on Thursday May
Decide to Work Farm
With County Labor.
NAY USE AS INSANE HOSPITAL.

Members Of the Kenosha County
Board are considering a plan for the
operation of a hospital for the insane
in Kenosha county The suggestion
has been made that the County Board
direct that a small number of patients
chargeable to this county and now
cared for in hospitals for the insane
i'll various parts Of the state, be
brought to the county and put to work
on the farm recently purchased by the
County Board. The plan does not in
clude the opening Of hospital for the
insane except on a very limited scale
and many members of the board feel
that the State Board of Control would
frown on such plan, The board will
meet in special adjourned session on
Thursday morning and it will be called
by Chairman Strangberg early in the
morning and an adjournment will be
taken to the farm. If the farm is not
to be worked under the direct super
vision Of the County Board next sea-
son some provision must be made for
lease within the next few weeks. 1t
is understood that a number Of men are
ready to take the farm under lease
and it is possible that this will be the
disposition to be made of it by the
board in session on Thursday.
The plan of the board when the pur-
chase of the property was made was
to use it for a poor farm and for a
future site for a Kenosha county hos.
pital for the insane There has been
much difference of opinion among the
members Of this and former county
boards as to whether a hospital for
the insane could be maintained at a
profit by the county. The county has
a large number of inmates in the vari-
Gus hospitals in the state and undoubt-
eddy there are enough of these people
to make it possible for the county to
secure permit from the state board
for the opening of a hospital in this
county. The cost of maintaining such
a hospital has up to the present time
caused members of the county governing
board to hesitate TO go into the matter.
1t is admitted that the new county
farm is admirably fitted for this use
and the members who are suggesting
that the plan be tried out during the
coming year have suggested that a
limited number Of patients, posi-
bly, dozen, be brought to the farr1
and cared for under the direction of
the county board.
Many of the members of the board
are of the opinion that the overhead
EXPENSES in connection with the opera
ton of the farm for the care of small
number of patients would make the cost
to the county far in excess of the
amount that is now being paid. The
whole m liter will be threshed out at
the meeting of the board on Thursday.
No other matters are named to come
before the board at the meeting, but
Isome Of the members may have some
matters for consideration.

In explanation of delays which may

Of the wounding or death of soldiers
in France, the adjutant generals Of

the enemy. Where possible kilograms
are e n relatives within "a hours of
the receipt of a casualty report in the

eral days later. Clerical errors, the
occasional necessity Of confirming
names by cable, incorrect addresses
or the removal of families, the state
ment said, occasionally cause delay on
