This drive IS on a seventy mile front

we tried to drive them back before
without the artillery and the losses
were so great that they decided to-
wait for the artillery and now we have
them going and are going to try to
keep them on the go.
The Germans were shooting over an
awfully heavy barrage the same time
we were. and believe me there was
plenty OF excitement. The shells were
lighting all around us and II sure was
war-like. We lost three men ont of

Perhaps the most original of all pa

churches in Kenosha is that planned
by the First Congregational Church for
Wednesday evening when in the spa
Icious Church Assembly the first honor
roll service will be held. There will
be no sermon and the service will be
IN the form Of patriotic rally, unique
and entirely original.
In place of the usual address the
members of the church are going to
be treated to something little differ
emit from anything they have heard
before. After the singing Of num-
Der of rousing patriotic tunes includ-
ing the national anthem, by the con-
gregation, the names of the thirty or
more young men on the military Roll
Of Honor of the church will be called
AS the names are read, the parents and

| sist in providing sufficient sanitorium
facilities for receiving those soldiers as
patients paid for by the United States
government. Neither the soldier nor
the county in which he resides will be
asked to pay his sanitorium care. The
government has assumed this as one of
the soldiers rights.
The government stands ready to
pay for the maintenance Of every dis
charged tuberculosis soldier in state or
county sanatoria, = said Col. Banks. "It
will be the policy of the government to
utilize local institutions instead of
planning for the erection Of large cen
trail sanatoria. If man cannot be
cared for in his home state and there
is a bed available in another state, the
government will arrange for his care
there. This is entirely independent of
the amount collected from his war risk
insurance. It is one Of his rights. It
is not a matter Of charity. It is a
matter Of business. "A soldier is en-
titled to sanatorium care and he is not
expected to pay for it himself or to
apply for it as a county CHARGE
The fact that tuberculosis has been
the cause in fifty per cent Of the ap-
proximately $4,000 cases of soldiers
who have been discharged from the
army because Of physical defects since
the United States entere dthe war is
cited by Col. Banks as evidence of the
immensity of the task which confronts
both the government and the individ-
ual states.
Announcement of the government IS
policy to care for it's soldiers as paid
patients in local sanatoria is expected
to speed up Wisconsin s campaign for
increased institutional facilities While
few states are as well prepared as Wis
consin to meet this problem, the fact
remains that its present facilities are
not even adequate for peace time de-
mands. There are at the present time
approximately $50 beds in public and
private sanatoria in the state, with
waiting lists at practically all the in.
stitutions. Already Wisconsin has had
469 soldiers returned because of tu-
bercu1osis and in addition to this num-
Der there are over 1900 men who have
been rejected for the same reason in
draft examinations.
Appropriations for new infrmary
at the state sanatorium which would
Increase its capacity about seventy pa
tients and for doubling the capacity
of the State Camp for Convaleseent
at Tomahawk Lake have been available
since the last session Of the 1egisla-
ture but have not been used as yet.
It is reported, however, that members
of the State Board of Control with
whom the matter rests assert that they
will now leave no stone unturDed to
hasten the completion of the buildings.
County committee in those counties
where appropriations have been made
are also speeding up the preliminary
work in order to do their share to make
it possible for Wisconsin soldiers to be
cared for at home.

How Long Will Samny's
Army Clothing Last?

Just how long the numerous articles
that are being made by the thousands
of patriotic women Of America for her
soldiers in the various cantonments in
the United States and the camps and
trenches abroad will wear, has been a
subject of interested discussion ever
since the war began.
Somewhere, somehow, the report was
spread abroad that the heaviest wooden
socks which are being knit by the Red
Cross societies and the Comforts For
warding committees would last the sol
der only ten days. But when Ser
geant Mcdonald was here some weeks
ago with the recruiting squad from
Great Lakes, he stated in his talk at
the Market Square that a pair Of
socks would last soldier in the
i trenches just four days or was it
three?
At any rate the government has been
trying to find out about this matter it.
self and has asked the opinion Of the
various camp quartermasters and or
ganization supply officers of the gov
eminent. After receiving the replies
of number Of them the War Depart
ment authorizes this statement:
In order to obtain an idea of the life
of the various clothing and equipage
articles used by the army, the opinion
of camp quartermasters and organiza-
ton supply officers was asked for by
the Acting Quartermaster General The
opinions are based on the experience
of these officers in issuing the various
articles to the men in the camps and
environments in all sections of the coun-
try.
On the basis of replies from about
$50 officers, table was prepared which
is composite and indicates the minimum
life as shown by the average opinions
received. The table shows the life Of
cotton breeches to be 4.89 months, wool
breeches 6.85 months, cotton coats
1918 months, wool coats 1886 months,
overcoats 1886 months, blankets 41.77
months, sickers 1923 months, service
hats 1858 months, flannel shirts $40
per year, summer undershirts 1868 per
year, winter undershirts $50 per year,
summer drawers 4.36 pairs per year,
winter drawers 1858 pairs per year,
light wool stockings 8.48 pairs per year,
heavy wool stockings 6.35 pairs per
year, field shoes 2.42 pairs per year,
and canvass leggings $50 pairs per year.
