ORPHAN CHILDREN
OF FRANCE
A Christmas Present i'm the
Christmas Spirit is to
Give to Those Children
in Devastated France.
ADOPT A FRENCH ORPHAN

Kenosha has answered the cry for
help from many countries calling for
relief, but none is more deserving than
the "Fatherless Children of France
These helpless children in that far off
devastated France are crying for all
we can give them, and no better Christ
mas present could be given, than a
Christmas present that is feeding the
mouths of innocent children, innocent
but still they must suffer.
Mrs. George Milne of 459 Durkee av-
enue, is chairman of the Fatherless
Children Of France society in Kenosha,
and great efforts are being made by
the committee to raise enough money
to support many of these children for
the coming year. No more worthy a
cause exists.
In 1917 through the efforts of many
patriotic and public spirited women
through the United States, much money
was raised, and many children have
been supported this year on this money.
Now comes another time to give and
never stop giving to these children.
The committee will take the money
you give and you pay for the adop-
tion and send it as Christmas gift to
your friends. Share with them the hap
piness of bringing joy to the heart
of little child.
What more fitting remembrance Of
Christ IS Birthdays
In as much as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these my brethren
We have done it unto me-
10 cents helps a child one day.
20 cents helps child one week.
$500 helps a child one monrh
$3.50 cents helps a child one year.

this worthy cause telephone Mrs Milne,

Fact That Germany Is
Whipped Is Not Main
Issue, Declares Prof.
Clinton Barr.
DOK MALL OF ALL KINGS
With Them Goes the Institution OF
Autocracy and Imprisoned Nations
are Released and Self Govern
ment is Established.

Professor Clinton Bars lecture at
the administration building of the pub
lie school Monday night had for its
object the preparation of his audience
for the reception of his next lecture
which will be on the reconstruction
period in the United States.
A large audience greeted the speak
er at the fifth Of his interesting ad-
dresses in this city, which, by the way,
will be the last one until after the
Christmas holidays.
Prof. Barr was listened to with much
interest as he gave the European back
ground and growth of democracy. He
said "the fact that Germany is whip
ped is not the main issue of the war. -
The lasting effect is far more reaching,
namely, first, the DOWNFALL of all kings
and with them they take the institu-
tion of autocracy, secondly, imprison-
ed nations are released, such as Bohe-
mia and Poland and thirdly, self gov
eminent within the nation, the rise of
democracy.
He discussed the two great political
ideas Of the world and traced their
growth, (I Parliamentary govern
ment, (2) The Federation Of states.
Parliamentary government had its birth
in England about 1865; then in Amer
lea in 1776 and has circumscribed the
earth until it now takes root in Ger
many. Federation Of states has had a
slower growth but Prof. Barr expects
its crowning hour to come when the
League of Nations is an actual fact.
In speaking of Bolshivisn, Prof.
Barr said it would never find root in
the democratic countries of the world
where labor was coming into its own
and the factory owners no longer say
My factory, my machinery, but our
factory, ETC.. - and where the working
man is going to get the wages he
earns.
The next series of Prof Bars lee
lures will deal with the reconstruction
period in United States.

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
BEATING THE "FLU"
Fifteen New Gases are Reported Today
But Disease is Not in Such
Violent Form as Before.

The campaign Of education against
influenza which has been waged under
the direction Of the Health Board, is
getting results and while fifteen new
cases of the disease were reported to-
day it is declared that the disease is
not in such dangerous form as before
and few deaths have been announced.
Seven influenza cases are being taken
care Of at the isolation hospital.
"The people are learning that it
paws to follow rules and take care of
themselves, I" declared Health Commits
sioner Windesheim this morning. eff
we can impress this fact on the
people in the strongest possible way
am sure that we can save many
lives in the city"
The isolation hospital is proving a
great aid to the department in taking
care of contagious diseases, for in adj
dition to the seven influenza patients
the hospital now cares for three
patients i'll with scarlet fever and one
suffering from light attack of the
smallpox. With the perfect arrange
ments or isolation little fear is felt
that there viii be a spread of the
diseases.

Aldermen Joseph Meyer and
Charles HOlderness Guests
at Notable Banquet of
City Officials.
GET PRAISE FOR SERVICE
Leaders Of the City Gather In Banquet
at the New Park Hotel Following
Council Meeting and Make
Merry Until ''Aornin'..

Good fellowship reigned supreme at
an "oficial" banquet in honor Of two
"quitters" Monday night when mem
bers of the official family of the city
headed by Mayor John G. Joachim,
gathered at the New Park Hotel at q
ten o'clock dinner to do honor to
sheriff-elect Joseph Meyer and County
~k-elect Charles M. Holderness, who
a.. quitting the council in the near
future. 1t was one of the most notable
social gatherings ever provided for the
city fathers and the officials Of the
city. The dining room of the hotel was
Hastily decorated and at the long tables
covers were laid for thirty guests. The
ten course dinner was served just after
the close Of the session of the council.
There was rabbit in the wonderful
thasenpfeffer" style; there was chick
en- and turkey and duck and all the
trimmings that go along with meat
courses and in addition all the delica-
eies Of the season served up in a most
delightful manner, During the even
ing it was brought out that there was
a mysterious source Of the meat served
at the banquet board, but not one of
the guests cared to worry about where
1t all came from They just took the
Goods the Gods PROVIDE and were
too busy eating to speculate on sources
of supply or worry over demand.
When the dinner was over the Mayor
was introduced as POSTMASTER and un-
til after one O'Clock in the morning
the toasts kept coming hot off the reel.
The Mayor paid tribute to the services
which had been rendered to the city
by the retiring aldermen. He referred
to them as "quitters" but declared
that lot Of the other members of the
council would be willing to assume the
same title under the same conditions.
Aldermen Meyer and Holderness re-
sponded in most gracious manner.
Meyer declared that he would be ready
to entertain any member Of the coun-
Gil or any official of the city at his new
home on Market street for an indefinite
time after the first of year and Holder
ness asserted that the full powers Of
the county clerk would always be at
the disposal of the officials, even to the
extent Of issuing a marriage license
for ellis Honor" Then there were
talks by City Attorney John @. Slater,
Aldermen Sullivan, Shearer, Chief of
Police O'Hare, Alderman Schroeder,
w. Il. Marlatt, Alderman Turkelson,
City Engineer Hurtgen, Alderman DON
Rhue, Pauper Commissioner Saftig,
City Clerk Harrington and Aldermen
Roberts, Keul, Gouty, Chief of the
Fire Department Schwartz, Aldermen
Stein, Wachs, Loef, Thomas and Zim-
hermann.
The evening closed with the singing
Of the "star Spangled Banner un-
der the leadership of City Attorney

Grand Mount and Inspection Proceeded
Dance - Captain Tom Temple officer
of Day - 100 Couples at Dance.
One Of the most jolly affairs of the
season was the Military dance given
by Company B, 9th Regiment, Wiscon-
sin State Guards on Tuesday evening,
at the Eagles Club House.
The Club House was wonderfully de-
corated in Christmas green's, beautiful
red holly wreathes, and patriotic colors.
The Since orchestra, under the direc-
ton of Director Green played some spe-
cial music for the occasion.
Preceding the dance Grand Mount
and Inspection were held. Captain
Thomas Temple acted as Officer Of the
Day. Lieut.. Hugh Barden Commander,
and Lieut.. James Millar as adjunct.
Major Webb of Waukesha who was
scheduled to inspect the Grand Mount
was unable to be present. A large
and enthusiastic crowd greeted their
appearance, At least fifty couples at
tended the dance afterwards. Many
Bluejackets from Great Lakes were
on hand to help in making the first
dance Of the Regiment a success.
It is just possible that the Regiment
will give series Of these highly enjoy
able affairs this winter.

Thos. RocoS Wanted
To Get the Kaiser
Kenosha Man Disappointed Because He
Did Not Have Chance to Go Over
Seas and Kill Few Germans.

Mourning over the fact that he did not
get to go overseas and avenge the
death of his sister who was killed by
a German submarine while on her way
from her home in Sicily to school in
Athens, and also over the loss of a
brother who was tortured to death in q
German prison, Thomas Rocos, writes a
letter from Camp Zachary Taylor to his
brother John Rocos in Kenosha. He says:
ct am well and enjoying the very
best of health, although there has been
quite a little sickness here I have
escaped.
'Now that the war is over, I sup
pose it will be only a short time until
I will be with you and my other
friends at home. I can not say that
I am sorry that the war is over for
that would be taking a stand for mill
tarism, the thing we are fighting
against, but I would like to have had
an opportunity to revenge the bloody
deeds committed against our family In
Europe by the Beast of Berlin and
their agents and until my last day the
blood of my sister and brother who
were so rpthlessly murdered by the
Kaiser's gang, will cry out to me for
revenge, but then again, we must not
lose sight of the fact that there is an
all wise judge who although a mercl-
full one, yet a just one; who will adj
minister to these tyrants that which they
deserve in final day of reckoning.
Now John, I could tell you much
about Uncle Sam s army, and what it
is prepared to do, but when I come
home I will tell you of my experiences
in this, the greatest's army in the
world, of the greatest nation. We,
who have adopted this country as our
future home, should be proud that we
have been so fortunate as to have a
chance to live under so glorious flag
and to participate in the freedom
that men enjoy here.
"Today is the beginning of 8 new
era in the history of the world, and
there is no doubt in my mind that this
country will take its place among
the nations that our beloved Greece
held three thousand years ago.
"Some people seem to think that
Germany is not licked and that she
will be able to resume hostilities. But
u know the German people. have
travelled in that country and [ have
heard people speak who have been
fighting them, and my conclusion of the.
hun is that, they are a combination of
La Mexican and snake, and will fight
only as long as her allies stand by her
but Germany's friends have faded and
she is left alene to just her disgraced
kpltur, she is whipped and whipped
to a FRAGILE.
"From now on when Kaiser Bill
hears the name America he will re-
member that they can fight, and will
fight for what they cherish most Uni
versal freedom for all mankind
"Now John, I have written more
then I intended, but when I get start
ed on this war I hardly know where
to stop. I suppose it is because we
have suffered so at the hands of these
murderers of women and children.
"Take good care Of yourself and
give my best wishes to all my friends
and tell them I hope to see them soon
and enjoy many pleasant moments with
them in the years that are to come"
