CHEERFUL LEAVE TAKING
Three of the Drafted Men Were Not
Among the Bunch Leaving Satur-
day Night But Will Go.
Later.

"God bless you, son." "Good-bye,
Bill, " "Take care of yourself, Jack, "
"Be sure to bring back piece of the
kaiser, John,7' and hundreds Of like ex-
pressions were part Of the verbal cam
outage which greeted the ears Of Ke-
nosha's last bunch of soldier boys
which left Saturday night.
By far the greatest send-off that
has been witnessed yet was that given
to this last installment of the young
drafted men which were sent to Column
bus barracks at 9:20 CLOCK Saturday
night amid the waving of flags, the
rafting of drums and the sound of
the bugle. From 5000 to 5000 of the
patriotic citizens turned out to bid
the boys God speed and give them a
parting hand-shake and a heartfelt
wish for their safe return
The departing soldiers were escort
ed by the city police, the state guards
members of the local draft board, the
Fidelity Drum and Bugle corps, and
thousands of Kenosha citizens. The
troops modified at the Armory at 1880
o. o'clock and went to the station in.
tending to leave shortly after eight
o clock but the train was late and they
did not get away until 9:20. The in
tervening time was put in, in saying
farewell to fathers, mothers, brothers
and sisters, sweethearts and friends,
while the Boy Scouts Fidelity Drum
and Bugle corps played patriotic airs
The men were ir the best of spirits
and some of them promised to bring
the kaiser back with them when they
returned.
There were sixty-seven men in this
draft but only sixty left Satur-
day for camp. Two Of the three who
did not go then were unavoidably de-
tanned and third has not been heard
of lately. Matthias Zeitler who was
called for entrainment was delayed by
the death of his mother and he obtain
ed leave to remain behind until after
the funeral. Anthony Wons was W
in the north woods and was not able
to reach Kenosha in time to go with
the others and he followed this morn
ing. William F. Morgan did not show
up and his present whereabouts are
unknown. The last time he was heard
from he was at Moline, illinois.

TWO MEN GET TO HOSPITAL
Touring Car Filled With Passengers
Collides With Another Automobile
On Chicago Street But Passengers
Escape without Serious Injury.

Automobile accidents continued to
decorate the police blotter on Satur-
day night. Early in the evening two
automobiles, one driven by Gustav Mel
son, 1011 Market street and the other
by Nicholas LIGHTER Of the town of
Somers collided at the corner of Park
and Chicago streets and half dozen
people had miraculous escape from in
jury. Nelson was turning his car
South on Chicago street and LIGHTER
was turning into Chicago street from
Park street. Neither automobile was
running at high rate of speed but
they came together with sufficient force
to wreck the automobiles and several
of the passengers in the car sustained
minor injuries. Mrs. Nelson was the most
seriously injured. She had severe
bruises and cuts. In the LIGHTER car
were Mr.. and Mrs. III. w. Uhen and Leo
LIGHTER of Somers and Miss Lucy Hop
kins of Delavan. Strict observance of
the road rules might have made it pos
sible to avoid the accident.
just after ten CLOCK Saturday night
an accident occurred on Sheridan Road
between Dayton and Pomeroy street
when an automobile driven by Thorn
as Arneson ran into push cart loaded
with lumber which was being pulled
along the street by William Mortsfeld
and r. Kenzler, No. 81 North Chicago
street The two men in charge of
the cart were thrown to the pavement
and severely injured. Both men were
taken to the hospital in the police am
bulance. They had severe bruises but
no broken bones and both of them
were able to leave the hospital on Sun
day. The driver of the automobile
made full settlement with the men for
their damages and bodily hurts and
the case did not reach the courts for
adjustment
Earlier Saturday evening a wagon
belonging to Jacob Bentz was wrecked
on Hamilton avenue when an automo-
bile running at high rate of speed
CAdohCQ lllbU ALs WIG VI UHS uUTSGS db-
tached to the wagon was severely in
jured. The man driving the automo.
bile hurried away and neither he or
any of the other four men in the ear
would give their names. The police
are making an effort to learn the iden-
tity Of the members of the party.
Wagner claims that his horse was
badly injured and the wagon was bad
ly damaged.
Clement Keul of Strong street, was
the victim of an automobile accident
at the corner of Grand avenue and
Sheridan Road at six O'Clock Sunday
evening when the bicycle on which he
was riding collided with an automo-
bile driven by Steve Trbjevic, residing
at As Rice avenue. Keul was taken
to st. Catherine's Hospital suffering
from a dislocated shoulder and he was
unable to be in court this morning when
Trbjevie was arraigned on charges OF
violating the rules of the road. The
hearing of the case was continued unit

mems Relief Corps, etc.
Another division Of the mammoth
parade was the w. S. S. group. Almost
every school in the city was represented
in this and splendid posters with per-
tinent inscriptions afforded much
amusement to the enthused throngs.
The float preceding the group carried
the tall stately form of Liberty with
the famous eagle in the back ground.
Other woman s groups that added
much to the demonstration were those
of the different church organizations
as the Slavish and Lithuanian women
in native costume, and others of the
large industrial plants, as the Nash
girls in patriotic caps and flags, the
Simmons girls with red, white and blue
parasols, the girls from American Brass
in their gorgeous basket float, crowned
with becoming brass helmets, and final
ly the long lines of patriotic tannery
workers in their blue oyerhalls.
All in all, the women of Kenosha
were an important part of the parade
The organizations they represented are
big factors in keeping our boys at the
front and the fact that the women are
running these organizations is another
proof Of their ability. The sight of
Kenosha's thousands of women work
ers marching for liberty was as magni-
icent and inspiring measure as the
crowds that beheld them will witness in
long time. Kenosha's women are
backing her boysl

THE INJURED.

Miss Emma Schumann, ia

neck and cut on the limbs. Tniur-
les very painful but she will re-
cover.

crushed. Condition regarded very
serious.
Mrs. Gertrude. Mcclellan, guest
of the Misses Sehumann, several
ribs fractured and back seriously
injured.
Miss Gladys Rock, 593 South Chi
cago street, severely cut and
bruised, but suffering no frac-
lures. Will recover.
Charles Dabbs, Pleasant Prairie.
several ribs broken and suffering
from many bad bruises.
Chester Kramer, Pleasant Prairie.
Badly bruised.
The Misses Emma and Clara Schu-
mann, Mrs. Mcclellan and Dabbs
are in the Kenosha hospital.
The fatal accident came at the close
of day Of pleasure for the young
women who were members of the party
Early on Thursday morning they had
gone to Paddock IS Lake to spend the
day. They had become weary late in
the afternoon and had arranged to re
turn to Kenosha in the Dabbs automo
bile rather than wait for the evening
train.
They had met Kramer during the
afternoon and he had volunteered tC
arrange for the automobile ride home
Dabbs was at the wheel and the auto
mobile was running along at pretty
good rate of speed when another auto
mobile came up behind it running al
a very high rate of speed. The speed
OF the Dabbs automobile was increased
until at the time of the accident it is
declared that it was running at a rate
of close to thirty-five miles an hour
When the pursuing automobile drew
close to the Dabbs car on the narrow
road Dabbs turned out his car to allow
the other one to pass. In turning the
automobile caught the edge of the road
and plunged into the ditch striking a
great boulder. Miss Emma Schu
mann, Miss Rock and Dabbs were sit
ting on the front seat of the automo-
bile and they were thrown out as the
automobile struck the boulder. They
were thrown clear of the wreekage OF
the automobile but the other members
of the party with the exception of Kra,
mer were thrown directly under it.
G C, Allen came along the road
within few minutes after the acct.
dent and he brought the more seriously
injured members of the party to Ke-
nosha and to the hospital and as soon
as possible an ambulance was sent out
to bring in the other injured people.
The driver of the automobile which
passed the Dabbs car did not stop. 1t
raced down the road at a rate of fifty
miles an hour and it is possible that
the driver did not hear the agonizing
cries of the young women who had
been terribly injured. One report re-
ceived by the sheriff this morning de-
clared that the car stopped at a house
some distance down the road and told
people in the dooryard that the young
women had tainted when the ear left
the road. The sheriff is now seeking
to find the identity Of this man who
was at least partially responsible for
the death of Miss Schumann and the
terribly injury of other members of
the party.

True To Form,

In France. nowadays. the soldiers who
have won medals are almost ashamed,
since they know that nearly all OF their
comrades merit them. But II is often
easier for them 10 be heroes IN the
trenches than TO be heroes in their own
families.
One OF the men in our hospital al
Royanmont, says Miss Kathleen Burke
in The White Road TO Verdun, had been
in the trenches during an attack. A
grenade thrown by one Of the French
soldiers struck the parspet and rebound
ed among the men. With that rspidity
OF thought that is part OF the French
character. Jules sat on the grenade and
exiinguished it, For that act OF bravery
he was decorated by the French govern
ment. and wrote home 10 tell his wife.

reading her reply, and inquired why he
looked so gum.
"Well, mademoiseIle. he replied, II
wrote 10 my wife 10 tell her OF my new
honor, and see what she says My dear
Jules. We are not surprised you got a
medal Tor sitting on hand grenade we
have never known you 10 do anything
else except SIT down al home
