UNIVERSITY GIRLS
SAVE KENOSHAN
Arthur Moore is Saved From Drowning
in Lake Elizabeth by Bravery Of
Chicago University Students.

Arthur Moore, Kenosha man had
narrow escape from drowning in Lake
Elizabeth at Twin Lakes on Sunday
afternoon and he owes his rescue to
the bravery and cool headedness of a
group of young ladies from the Uni
versity of Chicago who were spending
the weekend at the Waldeck Hotel.
Moore had gone out in canoe and
he was nearly four hundred feet from
the lake shore when the canoe turned
over and he was thrown into the wa
ter. He was unable to swim and his
calls for help were heard by the group,
of young women who were bathing
some distance from the over turned
canoe. Four of the young women, who
refused to give their names, but who
were able to swim mighty strong
stroke started to rescue Moore. They
reached him just in time and dragged
him to the beach. He was unconscious
but later he was resusciated and he was
profuse in his thanks to the young
women. The girls were modest heroes
and absolutely refused to give their
names.

cult court on charge of assault in

Anton Bredek who was run down by an
automobile on the Geneva Road some
time ago was sentenced to pay fine
Of a hundred dollars and costs and to

noon. Later the court issued formal
order parolling Wilson to Sheriff Jacob
Hermann and he win be permitted to
work and support his family during the
period.
A bond for the appeal of the case to
the Supreme court has been filed by the
attorneys for the defendant but it IS
understood that the sentence of Friday

any criminal action is concerned and
that the appeal will not be prosecuted.
It. is possible that Wilson may later
be made defendant in civil action
brought by Bredek to collect damages
for his terrible injury.

Messages received from Italy today
announce that Rouse Simmons, son of
Clayton B. Simmons, formerly of Ke-
nosha but now of Portland, Oregon,
and grandson of Mrs. Rouse Sim
mons, the Allis Apartments, has been
decorated by the Italian government
for distinguished bravery in the Am
bulance Corps of the Italian Red
Cross. He has been given the Italian
war cross in recognition of splendid
service rendered in caring for wound
ed Italian soldiers on the great battle
front along the Piave River.
The decoration is one of the most
eagerly sought by men who are work
ing with the Italian army and young
Simmons Che is not yet twenty years of
age) is one of the first Americans to
secure the prize decoration.
The decoration came at the conclu-
sion of his six months service as an
ambulance driver under the direction
of the italian Red Cross. In this time
he had been working within ten miles
of the great battle line and it is de-
clared that often he worked both night
and day in keeping lis ambulance in
operation from the battle field to the
base hospitals back of the lines
Young Simmons was a first year
student at Yale when America entered
the war and he was one of the first
men to volunteer for service with the
Yale unit with the Red Cross in France
He was too young to enter the regular
army of the United States, but he
sailed with the first Red Cross unit for
France. He saw the full six months
service on the French battle fields,
winning high praise from commanding
officers for his devotion to duty and
when French ambulance drivers took
over the work which mad been done by
the American boys he promptly volun-
teered for service on the Italian front.
Wearing proudly the decoration Of
the italian government young Sim
mons has now returned to Paris and he
has offered MS services to the United
States government as volunteer for
the Aviation Corps of the United
States army. If he is accepted for
this service he viii begin his active
training at once. His letters to rela-
tives in Kenosha declare that he Is
going to see the war through and If
he fails to get into the Aviation
Corps his services win again be
proffered to the Red Cross for work
on the battle lines.

OFFERS NEW SPLTNT
FOR ARMY USE

DR.. Edward f. Rowell has found a
way to do his 'Tbit - in helping Amer
lea win the war for world wide De-
mocracy and he has offered to the Uni
ted States Government a suggestion for
splint to be used to care for broken
jaws of soldiers on the battle field. 1t
is designed for both temporary and per-
manent use. Made of dental rubber
and gutta percha, it is declared to be
far superior to the splints which are
now in use and the splints can be fur
nished to the field surgeons at very
low cost. Ten percent of the wounds
sustained by men In battle are wounds
of the jaw. At the present time these
wounds are cared for ON the field by
the use of imperfect splints which are
made of a combination of gauze and
wire held in place with adhesive tape.
The splint which DR.. Rowel has offer
ed to the government is an adjustable
splint which will give greater ease for
adjustment. The splint may be used
on the field and after permanent re-
duction of fractures Of the Jaw has
been made at the field hospital the
splint may be vulcanized and made a
permanent splint to be used until the
patient RECEIVERS. DR.. Rowen has offer
ed his invention to the government and
it is now being examined by army and
navy surgeons at the Great Lakes
Training Station. The device is so
simple that it can be made at any
base hospital and the cost of it does
not exceed twenty cents.
Local dentists declare that the new
splint offered by DR.. Rowen viii be of
great value to the army and navy.

good railroad commissioner and it is
possible that he would make a good

is worthy of more than passing con
sideration. He has the recommends
ton that he has been considered

FEELS HIS AssAILANT
Facts in Case Are Turned Over to the
Police Department This Morning
Soldiers Are Ordered to Be Ready
to Defend Selves Against Attack.

Private Cox, member of the de-
tachment of United States soldiers at
Camp Herring was stabbed in the back,
following a scuffle in Library Park,
just after ten CLOCK Friday night ac-
cording to a report made to the police
by army officials this morning. He was
not seriously injured and today it is de-
clared that he is taking his place in
the line with other men of his company
and continuing his training. The facts
III regard to the case were not made
public by the army officials until this
morning but this trouble between the
army and civilian was of such a SER
ious nature that the officer in charge
notified the police. The identity of
the man who stabbed Private Cox is
not known and no facts have been fur
nished to the police to aid them in the
arrest and prosecution of the men.
In the future soldiers of the United
States army will be expected to take
care of themselves and if attacks are
made upon them by civilians they will
be expected to land men attacking them
aud turn thew over to the police.
tt is declared that the facts that
soldiers in training here have been
ordered not to "mix" with civilians
under any circumstances has been the
cause of some civilians seeking to take
advantage of the soldiers.
On Friday night just after ten
O'Clock Private Cox and an army com
panion were on their way back to the
camp. They were walking through the
Park when a civilian accosted them
and told them to get off the walk. The
soldiers made no effort to start a fight
but the civilian made an effort to as
sault the companion of Cox and the
latter promptly defended his friend.
In the scuffle which followed Cox was
stabbed. The wound indicated that
he had been struck with a stiletto or
dirk knife and the knife penetrated to
the rib. After the stabbing the civil
ian and his friends fed Private Cox
walked to the barracks where his
wound was attended to and later he
told the story of the encounter. He de-
clared that so far as he knew he had
never seen the man who assaulted him
before and that he could give no rea-
son for the incivility which had been
shown to the men in uniform.
nuo re az an.u
Kenosha camp told the men on Satur-
day following the report of the at
tack on Private Cox that they were not
to start trouble with any civilian but
that they would be expeced to defend
themselves against injuries.
The police officers are ready to CO.
operate in every possible way with the
army men in making an end to any
trouble between soldiers and civilians.
The men now at Camp Herring make
up as fine a body of men as have been
sent to Kenosha from the army. Not
one of them is trouble maker and ev.
cry man has conducted himself as a
gentleman in every way. 1t is declared
that the enmity to the soldiers has
been caused in some cases on account
of the fact that young women in the
city have shown willingness to accept
the attentions Of the soldiers.
