L.KRZYWICKI DROWNED
WHILE CROWD LOOKS ON
Seventeen Year Old Boy Meets Death
in the Waters of Lake Michigan
at Two O'Clock This Afternoon.

Drowned in the center Of crowd
Of several hundred bathers with never
a one Of them able to lend him as
sistance, was the sad fate that befell
Leo Krzywicki, the seventeen year old
son of Mrs Mary Krzywicki, Of ZIG
North Rowland avenue, at two O'Clock
this afternoon.
Several hundred bathers had sought
the cool waters of the lake to get away
from. the hot, scorching rays of the
August sun and among them was young
Krzywicki. AT about two O'Clock
the cry went up, "There s a man
drowning, and hundreds Of eyes
turned in the direction from which
the voice came saw the young man
just going down.
He was about fifty feet from shore
and was under water about six
minutes before Captain Fountain ana
his crew of life savers reached the spot
and rescued him. He was carried to
the shore and the life saving crew
worked on him for more. than an hour,
but all their efforts were of no avail.
He was dead and could not be re-
suscitated.

Marshall Foch s counter stroke was
the most brilliant military success
of the war. The enemy has been
driven back but the danger is not
yet passed. The chance Germany
had on March 21st will never come
again as the American army will
in a short time be only little
smaller than the German army.
Until the Allies are defeated on
the seas he continued, Germany
can never triumph. The British
navy at the beginning of the war
had tonnage of two and half
millions and now it is eight. In
June alone the navy steamed
eight million miles. If the Bri-
fish had. been overwhelmed i'm

Chief Executive Commend
ed by Retailers Assn
for Refusing License
to Medicine Show.
GIVEN VOTE OF THANKS
ALI Is In Readiness for the State Con-
vent1on at Sheboygan Next Mon
day Which Will Last for
Three Days.

That Mayor John G. Joachim struck
popular chord and pleased the mer-
chants Of the city when he refused to
grant a permit to a "Quaker" medi--
cine show to do business on the streets
of the city few days ago, was evil
denced by the action of the Kenosha
Retailers Association at its meeting
Tuesday night, when it voted its
thanks to the Mayor for his action and
commended him for preventing the ag-
gregation from preying upon that part
of the population which is in the great
est need of protection.
A medicine vender struck the town
the other day and asked for permit
to sell his wares on the street. He
called his aggregation, the "Gual1er
Medicine Show The Mayor very
promptly refused him license to prey
upon the people, and it is stated that
the proprietor of ohe show then at
tempted to SOW discord between the
Mayor and certain members OF the.
council It was this action Of the
Mayor that the Retailers Association
voted unanimously to uphold at its
meeting last night.
@ III. Goodman was chosen chairman
of the delegation to the state mer-
chants convention which will meet in
Sheboygan next Monday August Il.
Already sixteen members Of the Keno
sha association have lined up to 60
and more are expected. The party will
leave in automobiles at ten 0 o'clock,
Sunday morning and go to Racine
where the Racine delegation will join
it and all travel together to Milwau
kee. A few hours will be spent in
Milwaukee and the two delegations
will then proceed to Sheboygan.
On account Of the extremely hot
weather, and the fact that many of
the merchants are out of town spend
ing their vacations, the, association
decided to discontinue the Tuesday
MONDAY luncheon until September.

Elk I r A
Kenosha Marines
Reported Killed in
Battle in France
Names of T. @. Rossnow and f. J..
Madden Both Listed from Kenosha
Appear on Lists Issued Late Today.


Two Kenosha names appear in the
casualty lists sent out from Wash
ington this afternoon. T. G. Ross
now, Kenoshan who served with
the Marine Corps, was killed in
action, and F. j. Madden, Kenosha,
also member of the Marine Corps,
died of wounds received in battle.
The names Of neither of the men
mentioned appear IN the Kenosha
directory. IF. Z. Madden APP
pears in the directory and his ad
dress is given at $50 Rowland
avenue. At this number it was
said that Madden was not known.
Neither Of the names appear on
any Of the lists of men in the army
collected by the News, the Red
Cross or the Chamber of Commerce.
1t is thought possible that these
men enlisted for service some time
ago and that for this reason their
names have disappeared from the
directory of the city and their
service to the nation was unknown
to the people compiling lists Of
Kenosha men in the war. The re-
ports from Washington bring no
details as to when or where these
two men met their death, but as
they were with the Marine Corps
it is supposed that they fell fighting
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
Chateau Thierry on the Marine front.
It is believed that f. j. Madden is
a brother of w. FL. Madden, re-
ceiving clerk at the American
Brass Company. W. H. Madden
received a telegram this morning
stating that his brother, r. j.
Madden had been wounded in ac
ton. Mr.. Madden could not be
found this afternoon and it was
said that he was out of the city.

Manufacturers Are Warned
by the State Industrial
Commission That Men
May Be Sent Out.
few COMPANIES SEND LISTS
Opening of Federal Labor Bureaus Is
Being Rushed in All Parts of State
and Labor viii Be Drafted for
Work in Other Places Soon.

| Unless the manufacturers OF Wis.
consin, working on war work, report
immediately the number of unskilled
laborers they need, about $4,000 such
workmen from Wisconsin viii be sent
to other states by Oct. l.
This is the statement of George P.
Hambrecht, chairman of the Indus
tria Commission, state director of the
United States Employment service
and chairman of the Federal War
Labor. board for Wisconsin who was
home from Milwaukee yesterday.
Several weeks ago Wisconsin war
industries were warned to list their
needs for unskilled or common labor
with the War Labor board, but few
have done so.
/ The federal War Labor board has is
sued call for 451, 900 men to be
transferred during August and Sep
TENDER from non-essential to essential
Industries. Wisconsin IS quota is $685..
i. was Announced this number prob
ably will be doubled within few
weeks.
So far, the Wisconsin war industries
have asked for little more than 1000
laborers and, unless all report their
needs at once, the excess men will be
sent to other states where the demand
is greater than the supply.
Under federal war labor regulations,
all unskilled labor in the country will
be resruited rapidly and placed in war
plants to speed up war activities.
Wherever possible, unskilled laborers
will be placed in war work in their
home cities. When there is an excess,
they will be transferred. It is the
plan to provide the war industries in
each state with all the manpower
needed from that state if possible, but
where the demand is greater than the
supply, they will be obtained from
other states which have an excess.
All war labor viii be recruited
through federal employment agencies.
The Wisconsin War Labor board is now
establishing these agencies in the prin-
cipal cities of the state where assist
ance is given by the municipality.
Offices have been established in
Madison, Milwaukee, Racine, Keno
sha, GAINESVILLE, Beloit, Oshkosh, Nee
nah, Menasha, Green Bay, Grand Rap
ids, Wausau, La Crosse, Chippewa
Falls, Ashland and Superior-the cit
les provide and equip the Offices and
the government supplies employment
managers
The Wisconsin War Labor board
plans to make these employment agen-
cies permanent. The federal govern
ment will provide the employment
managers during the war, and an ap-
preparation will be asked of the legis-
lature next winter with view to hav-
ing the offices taken over by the state
at the close of the war.
