DOOM OF THE KAISER.

Stand fast ye men of Saxon Drawn!
The fate of Freedom is at stake,
And though the hordes of Hill should
storm
The Saxon lines shall never break.
IT'S written on the Bonded Heaven,
Implanted in the hallowed sod,
By Thee the nations shall be riven-
Then art the battle-axe of Godl
Stand fast! Stand frml The Worlds
on fire!
And He'll has opened wide her gate,
The doomed and dam ID with foul de.
sire,
Have joined the Hun, and challenged
fate.
Kaiser; Thou false and wanton lord!
Thou made blasphemer, red with
crime;
Think not that an avenging God,
VIII spare thy punishment betime.
Hark to the Orphans pit less walls;
The widows means and sore distress,
Thine arm hath wrought! The summer
gales
shrieks with the Hellish frightfulness.
Columbia heard the world s appeal
And swift her eagle wings were
spread,
Thou fooll to bruise Columbia Is heel,
Columbia Is heel shall crush thy head"
San Antonio, May l, 1913.

count of a lack of progressiveness are
now employing thousands of men.
Most of these men would today have
been contributing to Kenosha were it
not for the fact that Kenosha missed
its opportunity and failed to see its
chance.
Unless we want to be guilty of Grim
inal municipal negligence these con-
ditions must be remedied. We must
finish up sewers and build more sewers
we must adopt progressive methods in
the extension of public utilities and
We must foster anew the spirit which
builds a city rather than the spirit
of taking things as they come and let
some one else do our progressing for
us.
The red light warning is the warning
Of a crisis. It is to be hoped that men
who are in an official position will see
1T and prevent Kenosha being side
tracked for more progressive cities.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1918-05-30

And to every one Of them we want
to say, go to it boys. Kenosha expects
you to do your duty in defending the
nation and the nation IS rights. We
know that you expect Kenosha to do
its part and you are not going to find
that your trust is misplaced. You may
not have been prominent in the city,
but you are going to be prominent in
the hopes and prayers of Kenosha peo-
pie in the future. We have written the
name of every one of you in living
letters and we are going to remember
not now but later on that you have
done man IS part when man S part
was demanded.

And now they are insisting on kill
ing the budding candidacy for Congress
of former Speaker Whittet by referring
to him as Governor Philips Candi-
date Possibly the first district could
pick candidate for Congress without
the Governor butting in. Somehow, it
has managed to struggle along in the
past without any interference from
Madison or anywhere else in the state.
The first district is going to pick it's
own candidate.

Tt is to be hoped that this re-
examination of men who have claimed
deferred classification on -ccount of
dependents may be made moss thor
ough. Kenosha county does not want
to harbor any men who are hiding
from military service under the petit
coats of woman. A man entitled to
exemption or deferred classification
should have it. One not entitled to
it should be sent to the front line of
the trenches.

FROM OVER THERE.
Copies of the Paper Publish ed by the
American Boys in the Trenches
Have Been Received Here.

nave Been heC61NSu fAO1C'
Two copies of the /" Stars and
Stripes,n the official organ of the
American Expeditionary Forces in
France, have been received by Charles
w. Zweenie of Kenosha. The papers
were sent him by Fred Bahr, who IS with
"Pershing's Boys over there.
The paper is an eight page one and
the spirit of the American boys per
meates every line of it. Side splitting
yarns, photographs, comic sketches,
cartoons and pathetic stories are inter
spersed on every page and sh ows uncon-
querable spirit of fun which character
ICES the American boys in the trenches.
The sport page in the paper for
April 10, has a large type heading:
Big League Season Opens in Two
Hemisphere. In smaller type are
these significant stanzas:
They re off. The season st arts once
more,
And big league players lam the
pill.
Just as they did in days of
yore,
While we looked on WI tn many
a thrill.
They off! The seas On over
here,
Has opened this g anne of
death
Wherein men play who know not
fear,
While worlds look on W tn bated
breath.
One of the creditable hings that
Sammies are doing is the adoption of
little French war orphans as mascots
and the FStars and Stripes that with
in three weeks after the frs announce
ment was made no less than fifty
orphans had been adopted. The plan
of adoption is to help nee Ry children
over this most trying perid ID In their
lives for as the publication says,
France will need all her chi ldren after
the war and their first d ty will be
to their native country.
One issue contains the phi telegraph Of
General Ferdinand Foch, cor mander-in-
chief Of ali the allied forces President
Woodrow Wilson, and little Miss Mary
Louise Patriarche who has been adopt
ed by the "Stars and ST ipes," her
father having been killed in 1915.

be of greatest value in making the
world safe for democracy. If this is

Two people were severely injured
and had a narrow escape from death
just after past seven o'clock this morn
ing when jitney bus, driven by former
Alderman G. M. Hoppe, turned turtle
at the corner Of North Main and Grand
avenue and Hoppe and his two pas
sengers were buried under the debris
of the damaged automobile.
The injured:
Miss Helen Murphy, 4Os Park
street, severely injured about
the back and badly bruised.
Samuel R. Kerr, city sewer in
spector, removed to st. Cath
crime Hospital suffering from
crushed chest, severe bruises.
G. M. Hoppe, the driver, in some
miraculous manner. escaped
without any injuries of
serious nature.
Miss Murphy is employed as a steno-
grapher at the plant of the Maeomber,
Whyte Company at Ropeville and she
was on her way to work at the time of
the accident. Inspector Kerr was on his
way to look after job of sewer work
on the north side of the city.
The automobile was not being driven
at a high rate of speed, but when Hoppe
started to turn into North Main street
at the corner of Grand avenue, one
of the wheels of the light automobile
caught in the railroad tracks and it
Topped over.
Hoppe and his two passengers were
thrown into the top of the machine.
Inspector Kerr was caught under por-
tion of the automobile. Miss Murphy
and Hoppe managed to crawl cut from
under the debris, but it was neces-
sary to lift the machine before Kerr
who was apparently in great pain,
could be released.
Miss Murphy was taken to her home
on Park street where it was declared
later in the morning that she was suf-
fering from extreme pain and that she
was confined to her bed.
Inspector Kerr was taken to st.
GATHERINGS Hospital in the city amb-
ulance and physicians who attended him
found that he had suffered severe inter
nal injuries and had probably suffered
the fracture Of one or more of his ribs.
Just how the people escaped without
more serious injuries following the
wreck of the automobile, is a matter
that witnesses failed to explain.

Evidently some of the German
soldiers have decided that they would
just as leave be executed at a comfort
able army post near Ostend as be

probably figure that their sacrifice will
count for as much one place as the
other and want to save the discomforts
of the long march.

Of course if the members of Congress
can find anything else TO hang a tax
on, we are patriotic enough to have
them go right ahead and do it. We need

ones who can furnish it. It is however,

of the people pay the tax impartially.

In the many cases which have been

formed the jury that they had been

relating to the interference with the
military operations of the United

that the farmer, the railroad man. the
manufacturer and women are all con-
scripted, and that even the children
are called upon to help.
He said the country has been sown
with spies by Germany and that the
very man who is waiting on one at a
table, may be an enemy. He said
section 3 Of the espionage act is the
main weapon with which the United
States authorities have to deal in
meeting the situation. He referred
TO the Civil war days when congress
deemed it necessary to enact strict
legislation to prevent overt acts and
practices which aroused a |
good deal of antagonism and had to |
be repressed. He stated that after |
