HOW CASUALTIES ARE RE.
PORTED

The delays experienced in trans
hitting casualty reports to this coun-
try from the battle fronts and plac-
ing them in the hands of relatives of
the killed and wounded is not to be
wondered at when the system under
which it is necessary to handle unfor-
tunate men is looked into.
Oftentimes as long as three weeks
.elapse before it is possible to notify
the next of kin if soldier has been
killed, wounded, gassed, taken pris-
oner or missing. In the case of the
wounded there are number of de-
velopments the casualty report must
go through. For instance, man is
wounded in action. He receives his
first medical treatment near the front
line, where his wound is bound up and
disinfected but no record taken. Next
he is moved to the advance station
Casually in a dugout about two miles
behind the line),. where the wound is
then dressed and again disinfected,
record of the name and regiment
taken and a tag labelling the man
for Identification purposes attached to
his clothing.
In line with the gradual move
ment of the wounded to the rear the
victim reaches the main dressing sta
ton, where a close examination of
his hurt is made and detailed ac-
count of it is taken. He then goes to
the main casualty clearing house"
still several miles back, where a sur
gical operation is performed if need
be and where a complete record is
made of the casualty, with resultant
classification into the Slightly
wounded" severely wounded" or
dangerously wounded" groups.
From each station reports are sent
to the medical department, where
they are tAbu1ated and compared for
verification. All this takes consider
able time.
When reports are found to agree
they are sent to Washington head
quarters, where the next of kin to the
wounded or killed soldier is notified
by telegraph.

meyer GAINS One
VOTE BY RECOUNT
Informal Recount of the
Ballots Cast i'm the Eighth
Ward Made By County
Canvassing Board.
.LANGAN ENTIRELY SATISFIED

Joseph Meyer added one to his plur-
ality as the Democratic candidate for
sheriff this morning when the County
Canvassing Board in response to the
petition of John T. Langan, recounted
the votes which had been cast in
the eighth ward at the recent pri-
mary election.
The final checking of the vote Of the
ward by the board showed that 208
votes had been cast for Joseph Meyer,
20 for John +. Langan, 10 for Nicho-
las Thelen, % for Andrew Anderson,
land for George Strangberg.
To all intents and purposes this was
identical with the report which had
been made by the local election officials
when the votes were counted on the
night Of the primary election. Three
votes had evidently been thrown out
by the election board and the canvass
ing board after looking carefully into
the intent of the voter, awarded two of
these votes to Meyer and one to
Langan, this giving Meyer an increase
of one vote in his plurality over Lam
gan in the ward.
Before the envelopes were opened
and the ballots re-checked "a stipula-
ton had been signed by every Demo
cratic candidate for sheriff, giving the
board power to open the envelopes, but
at that the board let it be understood
that the proceeding must be considered
informal. It was declared in advance
that no matter what might be found in
the re-canvass of the vote, that no
changes would be made on the report
of the canvassing board until after an
order had been issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
1t was the first recount of an
election ballot that Kenosha county
had seen in lot of years and it was
quite function. In addition to the
members of the canyassing board and
the interested candidates, District At
torney Peter Fisher dignifed the gath
Iering with his presence and aided the
board in deciding as to questionable
ballots. After the first few ballots had
been counted it was evident that the
recount would not in any way change
the result and the interested parties
began to leave the court house.
When the work of checking over the
ballots was completed Contestant Ian
gan declared that he was entirely sat.
listed. He at once offered to pay AL
the expenses Of the recount, but the
members of the canvassing board de-
clared that there would be no charge
made against the county or any Of the
candidates, Tt took less than an hour
and a half to make the recount Of
| the ballots.

We really can see no reason for
wasting tears Of sympathy on men
who have not taken care Of their in
come tax obligations. We see no rea-
son why fines or penalties should be
waived when these fellows are. caught.
They hoped to get away with it, They
hoped to defraud the government and
they should pay the penalty to the
fullest extent. There has been no lack
of publicity in regard to income tax
returns and the men who are delinquent
now are simply financial slackers. They
should get the same punishment and
more than the military slackers.

RED. It was at the fight at Cierges
and Fismes that the 32nd won the
names of Les Terribles and that is
how we were known to the French
Units.
Sergeant Singer declared that to
the best Of his knowledge not one of
the Company NJ. boys had fallen in
battle up to the time he left France,
less than q month ago
Corporal Johnny Joung was hit
In the leg with shrapnel' said Singer,
but ] do not think that he was badly
hurt and | expect that he is back in
the line by this time. When left
the boys were getting ready to go
back to the rear for a little rest and
they are probably resting now
Sergeant Singer modestly admitted
that in his part in the fighting he
had served for forty two days with
out taking off his clothes.
With the breaking up Of Company
M. down at Waco, Sergeant Singer was
attached to the Head Quarters Com
pany Of the 12sth Infantry and he
has since been with that company. He
said that practically all of the Com
pany NJ. boys were still serving with
the. thirty second.
Sergeant Singer declares that the
Lumber-Jacks' as the members of
the Thirty Second are known, have won
the highest admiration Of the French
and other Allied fighters on the line.
"They are wonderful fighters" he
said. "These young fellows that we
picked up from the streets Of Kenosha
and from lot Of similar cities in Wis
|consin and Michigan are covering
themselves with glory. The parents
of every one Of them should be proud
OF them. The boys are just little
home sick but they are not heart sick
and they realize fully what is ex-
pected OF them and they are going
to do the job no matter how long it
takes. Keaosha will never have any
reason to blush for the actions Of the
members Of old Company NJ"
"Just as I was getting away. from
the lines on August 10th with an or
der "back homeo in my pocket met
Private Plummer of Kenosha. He was
working under his automobile along
the road. I showed him my orders
and said "just let me take those or
ders and you can take the automobile
and everything that goes with il. 2
AS I hurried along he waved a fare
well to me and shouted, "well, any
way drop in and tell father that we
are well and happy and that we are
sticking here until its all over. "

used to convey the members Of the Ke.
nosha Retailers Association OH its
booster trip which will begin Thurs
day, Oct. 8. This was the decision of
the associations at it SECULAR monthly
meeting Wednesday evening
The date set for the booster trip this
year was Oct. 3, when the majority of
the retailers will make swing around
the county for the purpose of setting
closer to the people and ths merchants
and business men of the county. The
county committees Of the Patriots
Fund and the Fourth Liberty Loan will
cooperate with the committee of the
Retailers Association in making a cam
|palgn through the county for the pur-
pose of inducing the people to come
out.
Dollar day will be Thursday, Nov. Z.
1t has been the custom to have Dollar
day in October, but it has been post
poned this year to get it out of the
way of the Fourth Liberty Loan, which
will be in October.
1t appearing that the government will
modify the order in regard to Christ
mas shopping, the association will at
once start the campaign for early
Christmas buying. However the mer-
chants will not increase their working
force nor will they increase their hours.
But the customers will be admonished
to- hold their buying down to necessary
gifts, except the buying for children.
The modification of the Christmas
shopping order was made necessary be-
cause the government began it too late.
The merchants had already purchased
their Christmas goods and some of them
were already in transit. The Christ
mas buying order would have had the
effect of causing the goods to remain on
the merchants shelves and go to waste.
But the usual decorations Of the
PRINCIPAL streets will be omitted this
year and the lights will not be used as
usual
In connection with this matter it was
brought to the attention Of the associa-
tion that some of the merchants of the
city are disregarding the government g
request in regard TO lightless nights
and are burning their window lights
on lightless nights che same as other
nights. It was the unanimous decision
of the retailers that all merchants be
requested to obey the order and turn
out their window lights on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
nights.
The delegates who attended the state
convention at Sheboygan made the re-
port Of their trip and the proceedings
Of the meeting.

the state organization, for his good
work for the last two years and for his
efforts in having the name Of the state
