II FEELS GOOD TO
GET YOUR CLOTHES OFF
Lieut.. Alexander Writing from a Base
Hospital in France Tells About
Playing Hide and Seek With She'll

eff I had remained where I was ]
would not be all together now,v writes
First Lieutenant J. D. Alexander, who
is with the American Expeditionary
Forces in France, to his brother,
II. G. Alexander, of Kenosha. Among
other things he writes:
After all kinds Of hell, I am tucked
away in a base hospital. Have had a
lot of trouble with my eyes, and then,
some of those old severe headaches Of
mine and then with touch of gas
was finished. But not a scratch other
wisey except a skinned shin, got while
making a brodie for shell-hole the
other day when Fritz shell was APP
preaching with its beautiful whistle.
IF L had remained in the same place j
would not be all together now.
"Oh, but to get my clothes off and
into pair Of Uncle Sam $ pajamas and
g first spring cot to sleep on. Oh,
what a grand and glorious feelingl
This is the first time all my clothes
have been off for more than three
weeks. And right now all I have is my
pajamas and overcoat. The rest are
being deloused." If you have ever
read of the Argonne forest being hell,
just take it from me, it is. Will have
lots to tell when I get back, and God
knows I hope old Kaiser Bill realizes
soon that his wild bunch Of Yanks
can't be stopped.
II regret that what few souvenirs
/ had are lost I guess. But helmets,
the ground was covered with them as
well as many other things, such as the
boches who wore them.
Everything is coming our way now
here and we all hope that Christmas
viii see it finished for good.'
The letter was dated October 20.

RED CROSS FIRE

The Surgical Dressings Committee
has received instructions from General
Division to finish all dressings in pro-
cess of making. The rooms will be
open every day until further notice and
Monday and Wednesday evenings of
this week. There is still much of this
work to be done and the Red Cross
chapter desires the workers to respond
so it can be finished at once.
Knitting.
In the past two weeks the Knitting
Committee has distributed enough yarn
for about FIVE hundred sweaters, forty
Of which have been made up and par
ties making these have all taken out
yarn for one or more sweaters to apply
on the present quota. There is still
enough yarn at headquarters For
seventy-fve sweaters and the chapter
hopes this will be called for in Gay
or two SO it can get the allotment out
in the scheduled time. The time limit
of keeping the yarn is one month, which
is ample time for ordinary knitters
to make sweater, as has been shown
by the work turned in in these two
past weeks.

TIME IS EXTENDED TO
RAISE PATRIOTIC FUNDS
People OF Kenosha VIII Have More
Time in Which to Respond to Call
for Over Subscription.

The Patriots Fund campaign has
been extended this week owing to the
peace celebrations the first part Of
last week which greatly hindered the
starting Of this campaign.
John r. Mott, Director General of
the United War Work campaign, which
is now being carried on throughout
the country, said:
It is clear that to minister to the
soldiers and sailors all of their time is
going to require larger financial out
lay than when they were being served
for but small fraction of their time
during actual warfare. President Will
son wisely fixes attention on a most
vital point when he emphasizes, now
that the cessation Of hostilities has
come we have entered upon a period in
which the work of welfare organiza-
tions assumes, If possible, an added
Importance. The excitement under
which our soldiers and sailors have
been working is withdrawn. Their
hours Of leisure are more numerous
their temptations are greatly multi
piled and intensified,
If you have not been asked to sub
scribe, go to the Patriots Fund office
today and make your pledge until the
boys come home.

Tells STORY OF
new RUSSIA
Exile, Jjaros, Now With
Hull House in Chicago,
Gives Interesting
Lecture.
IGNORANCE IS Difficult TY
Peasants Ignorant Of Causes of War
Resented Demand to Fight United
States Must Come to Aid
Of Russia.
IGNORANCE IS DIFFICULTY

Russia in the War, Russia in the
First Revolution, Russia in the Bolshe-
vik Revolution, Russia Today, Russia
in the Future these were the five
heads Of talk given last Saturday
evening at Kempex Hall by Mr..
Jjaros Of Hull House, Chicago. The
first four acts Of the tragedy were
sketehed with vivid power by the speak
or, and the fifth act was elaborated
with touches Of hope and optimism.
Russia did not have to fight said
Mr.. J. Jjaros in his opening words.
"She went into the war to help a
weaker Slavic sister, I may even say
that she did not want to fight. She
had not yet recovered from the war
with Japan. Her peasantry, who
form eighty five per cent of the popu-
lation, were not eager for war. They
are illiterate, knew nothing Of the
causes for which they were called in to
fight again. Many regiment going to
the front asked the officers who they
were going to fight - if it was the
Frenchgo
"The Russian peasant wants peace
and candor. That is the reason why
the Bolseviki could influence him with
a promise Of immediate peace, imme-
date possession Of the land. There
was to be no waiting. Peace was OBJ
tanned with Germany and the peasants
were told to go ahead and take what
they wanted. No wonder the Boil
sheviki could gain the populace ear -
no wonder that there was anarchy
HBut the rule Of the Bolsheviki is
weakening. Order and security are
needed for the endurance of any form
Of government. These have not come
with this last revolution, and they
must come before Russia again takes
her place among the nations of the
world. Seven millions of lives were
lost to Russia in this war - our men
were butchered. It was not war it was
murder. You must remember that Rus
STA is agricultural not industrial. We
did not have the factories to turn out
the munitions of war. The men fought
with their bare hands often their
leaders betrayed them. It was hor-
rible. Yet in spite Of the tremendous
losses Russia will abide
1T may be one year, two years,
five years but Russia will come back.
Be patient with her. Think of what
she has passed through and is even now
passing through. The United States
can and win help in her rehabilita-
tion.o
Mr.. Jjaros is himself Russian.
He was exiled from his country many
years ago for political reasons.
He and Mrs. Jjaros have been ac-
tive for some time in the activities of
Hull House.
So favorable was the impression
created by the lecture Of Saturday eve
ming that it has been suggested that
Mr.. Jjaros be asked to come back
and speak in the Rhode Opera House
where he could be heard by larger
audience.

GAY WEEKEND
FOR SAILOR BOYS
Resumption of Weekend
Activities Proves Attrac-
tive to Large Crowd of
Men From station
DANCING PARTIES ATTRACT
New Army and Navy Club Act as Host
to Many Visitors and Men Take
Kindly to the Dining Room
Sailors Hour at Church.

The gayest weekend in good many
weeks was offered by Kenosha on Sat-
urday and Sunday with the service
men from Camp Logan and Great Lakes
as the guests of honor and after the
weeks of "nothing doing" Kenosha
gave the boys one Of the most cordial
welcomes ever offered by the city on
Saturday afternoon and evening.
The whole city was interested in
the entertainment and the program for
the Saturday evening entertainment
was full one.
Featured for the weekend was the
opening Of the new Army and Navy
club on Wisconsin street and the
ladies in charge Of the club had a host
of guests to look after on Saturday
night andsall day Sunday. More than
four hundred of the boys in uniform
visited the club and every one of them
put their stamp Of enthusiastic APP
prevail on the plans which the Keno
sha committee had carried out for
their entertainment. Fifty men
in uniform were entertained at dim
ner on Saturday evening and more
than double this number were served
at dinner and luncheon on Sunday.
The boys found no trouble hitting
the trail to the new headquarters and
the club room was thronged with visit
ors from the opening hour on Satur-
day until "taps" were sounded on
Sunday evening
There was no special entertainment
for the boys at the club but there was
a lot Of it given ia other places in
the city. Scores Of the boys were en-
tcrtained in private homes on Saturday
evening and at Sunday dinner and
supper. Hundreds Of them attended
the week end parties arranged in their
honor.
Of first interest was the club dance
given at Grosvenor hall ON Saturday
evening. 1t was another of the same
jolly parties which had been given pre-
vious to the coming of the influenza
epidemic and more than a hundred of
the men In uniform were entertained
during the evening. Quite as many Of
the boys attended the dancing party
given by the Daughters of Rebekah at
9dd Fellows Hall, Saturday evening
and many of them attended the dane
ing party at the Eagles Club.
The skating socials at the Armory
on both Saturday and Sunday proved
attractive to large crowds of men in
service.
One of the most interesting events
of the weekend was the soldier IS and
sailors social hour at Park Avenue
M. =. Church. The reception, and it
was a most cordial one, followed the
regular evening church service. Many
of the young men in uniform attended
the church service and remained for
the really delightful social entertain
ment which followed. Refreshments
were served during the evening and
this proved a most interesting addi-
tion to the weekend function in honor
of the visitors.
1t is estimated that fully five hun
dred men from Camp Logan and the
Naval Training Station were in Ken
osha for the weekend and in addition
many men home from furlough from
the various army camps were visitors
at the soldier 3 and sailors club.
