THE TRAIN THAT SAVED
A NATION
How the Red Cross Helped
Roumania.

Have you heard of what happened
in Roumania when that stricken nation
stood in rags and starving before the
shocked eyes of the world? We had
thought ourselves grown used to trag-
edies until this greater horror struck
a blow that reused still untouched
sympathies.
And yet we felt so helpless, you and
/, so terribly weak in our ability to Of
fer aid. But were we? After all.
were VIZ not the very ones who car
ried new life and hope to the heart Of
Roumanla? You shall be your own
Judge.
Fighting with the desperation of de-
spair, the shattered ROumanian army
still struggled TO beat off the Kaiser's
bloody Huns, who were mercilessly
trampling the life out of the little
kingdom. And the Kaiser smiled bru-
tally as he saw his wolves at work
and knew that from behind the lines,
attacking the fighting men of Rouma-
MIA from the rear, entering the homes
where mothers chung to the frail, dis
torted forms Of their babies-was star
walton.
No country around Roumania could
help her-and America was too far
away. Thousands would die before
supplies held in our own country could
be sent her.
Hope was gone. Death by hunger
and by the dripping sword Of the Kali
ser was closing in. A brave little ma
tion was being torn to pieces.
Then came the miracle. One morn.
Ing the streets of Jassy, the war CAPT.
tai of Roumania. swelled with sounds
of rejoicing. A city where the day be-
fore there was heard nothing but the
walls of the starving and the lamenta-
tiOns Of those mourning their dead
now was awakened by houts OF JOY.
You. my friend you who have help
ed in the heroic work of the American
Red Cross, had gone to the rescue OF
Roumania. A train of 81 big freight
ears packed to their utmost capacity
with food. clothing and medicine, tons
upon tons OF It, had arrived In Jassy
after making a record breaking trip
from the great store houses OF the
American Red Cross in Russia Other
trains followed 1t thousands were fed
and clothed and nursed back to health
For weeks and even to this day the
brave people of Roumania are being
cared for in countless numbers by oui
W Red Cross.
So was Roumania helped, and when
history records how this last fragmenl
of a sturdy nation was kept out OF th'
hands Of the terrible Huns it will give
the victory to your American Rec
Gross.

Compare Your Baby's
First -Four Years
With This

In 1913 little Marie was born in a VII
Iage o far from MezIeres, IL the
Ardennes.
In 1914 Marie's father, called to the
colors, fell at the Marine. And Marie
and her mother stayed in the village.
which was now in the Germans hands.
In 1915 a poster was pasted up on
the door of the village church, and
that night Marie's mother vanished,
along with a score or more of other
women
In 1916 Marie was still living in that
viIlage-existing through the charity
OF the few elderly folk the Germans
permitted to stay.
In 1917 Marie, with all the children
under fourteen years and all the old
people left alive in the village, was
bundled into a crowded car and
shipped into Germany, round through
Switzerland and thence into France,
arriving at Evian. She was underfed,
of course, emaciated. sickly. dirty, too
lightly dressed for the time of year.
And she came into Evian with not a
relative, not a friend left in all France
to take care of her.
Who took her? Your Red Crossl
Over there in Evian your Red Cross
took charge of her, cared for her in
the Red Cross Children's Hospital,
clothed her, fed her, built up her
strength. taught her to play-and then
helped the French authorities find her
a HOME.
Multiply Marie by 500 and you will
have some idea Of just one days work
your Red Cross does at Evian. 1t Is
only one Of the Red Cross activities in
France. to be sure-but for just that
one alone can you help being proud OF
It'll Can you help being glad you are
a member Of it, supporting Its great
work OF humanity Can you help want
ing it to go on helping the Maries and
the "grand-daddies" that cOme in at
Evian7

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
LISTS NEAR COMPLETION
Will be Placed in the Hands Of Solici-
tors who will Give Every one who has
not Done SO Opportunity TO Purchase

House lists of those persons who have
not pledged themselves to buy War
Savings Stamps, as well as those who
have done so, are now nearing com
pletion. The list will be finished by
the end Of this week and placed in
the hands Of solicitors who will make
another thorough canvass of the county
and call upon those persons who were
missed before OF those who failed to
purchase Savings Stamps.
It is the object of the committee to
see that every person in the county is
given the opportunity to purchase War
Savings Stamps, as they hold the opin-
ion that there is not a person in the
county who is self sustaining but who
wishes to have part in helping to
whip the Hun.

remained in congress for years to come
undisturbed.
But Mr.. Cooper refuses to recognize
that to return him to congress is to en-
dorse his record and he seems to be so
completely ignorant Of the spirit and
character Of the free people of this
district as to believe that such a re-
suit is possible.
There are no doubt many who regret
the necessity, but loyalty to them
selves, to their state and to their
country imperatiyely demands that a
man be sent to Washington from this
district who has the courage and the
patriotism to stand up for and defend
the rights and liberties Of this nation
against the encroachment Of the whole
world if necessary.
The Elkhorn conference selected
Judge G. 3. Randall of Kenosha as
such man. He has accepted the call
and is conducting a fair, gentlemanly
and able campaign for nomination and
election.
The Times-Call, by association and
contact with Judge Randall, knows
that he will make an able and forceful
congressman. It .unhesitatingly en-
dorses his candidacy

About the most sensible statement
that has come out Of Washington as a
part of the "war propaganda is the
demand that the standard of teachers
be maintained. War means sacrifice,
but the. sacrifice should not be placed
upon the children who are going to be
the men and women Of future genera
tions. The real nation carries on its
war without sapping the life blood of
the future. That is exactly what
America provides for.

RANDALL SUBMITS
HIS PLATFORM
K enos h a Candidate for
Member of Congress Tells
People What He Stands
for in Political Race.
STRONG FOR AMERICANIsh

Judge Clifford e. Randall of this
city, candidate for the Republican
nomination for member of Congress in
the First Wisconsin District, has sub
mitted to the pepole of the district the
platform on which he is seeking their
support. The platform comes out
strongly for Americanism and for sup
port of the administration to win the
war. In his discussion of great ques-
tions, Judge Randall says:
To the Voters of the First Congress
sional District Of Wisconsin:
Having been selected by a confer
ence Of three hundred loyal Republi-
cans recently held at Elkhorn to be-
come a candidate for representative in
Congress from this district, and be-
lieying it may patriotic duty to accept
this call and to ask your suffrages at
the September primary, ] wish you to
know that [ am native citizen of
this district, of American born par
ents. I believe in the United States,
the good old Badger State and the
district in which / live. I am and
always have been an American through
and through and am endeavoring to
perform all the duties Of an American
and expect SO to do all the days Of my
life. Ny fealty is pledged to the
United States your country and my
country; and that fealty is inspired by
my faith in the everlasting principles
for which my country stands.
Our country is at war to preserve her
institutions. We must conquer Prus
sianism or be conquered. We will be ar
independent or subject nation.
Liberty is the issue of this war-the
liberty of ourselves and the liberty of
others. The business of the hour is to
win the war; everything else must be
subordinated to this great cause.
The rank and file Of the people Of the
great state of Wisconsin and of this
district have shown to the nation and
to the world that we are back Of our
commander-in-chief, the president Of the
United States, and that all Of our re-
sources of material, money and men
are at his command to win this war
and to win it as speedily as possible.
We have done much, but we must do
more. Every act and every thought
should be for the boys IN khaki over
there We expect to continue to
give, to strive and to fight until this
war, begun by Germany, is ended by
a peace made by America. Peace can
only be had when the allies are VIC
|torious; when Prussianism has been
and has Internationally surrendered;
and the threat of the domination Of
the world by German autocracy has
been removed.

The Madison district is facing the
danger of sending Nelson back to Com
gress. IF Nelson goes back it will be
the fault Of no one but the men in
Madison and the District who permitted
the nomination Of two candidates
against Nelson. Personal ambition
as well as everything else must be sac
rificed to win this war and one of the
real ways Of winning the war is to
send the right kind Of men to Con-
gress. You can't take chance in
this.

mighty good vision for things out in

No Plan for Erecting Hospi-
tai for Insane Is Brought
Forward at the Meeting
Thursday Afternoon.
PUT FARM IN SHAPE FIRST
Supervisor Barrows of somers Heads
Committee Which Will Have Charge
of Operation and Manager Win Be
Employed in the Near Future.

~ pau 4ut bIiS
hospital for the insane received The
sanction of the Board of Supervisors
at its adjourned meeting on Thursday,
but after an all day session the mem
bers of the board decided to start at
once to get the county farm in pro-
duetive condition and the special com
mittee of the board composed of Sup
eFviSors Barrows, Scott and Dowse
will be in charge of this work. The
management of the farm for the com
ing year will be under the county
supervision and a manager will pe
employed at once. It is planned to
have the work started during the win
ter in order to get the farm in snaps
for the putting in of generous crops
with the coming of the spring plant
ing season.
The question of the building of a
hospital for the insane, of bringing a
small number of patients to the county
to work on the farm, was discussed at
considerable length by the board, hut
members found that such plan cold
rot be carried out under the state
law. Before the county may open IN
asylum for the insane it must have re
ceived the sanction of the State Board
of Control and before any patients
could be brought to the farm it would
be necessary to secure the erection of
suitable buildings for the housing of
these people.
It is admitted that the farm is
badly in need of care, that buildings
must be repaired and rebuilt and
fences renewed and the land fortified
in order to bring it up to a high stare
of prodpctiveness. 1t may take sew
eral years to get the farm into shape
for use as an "asylum farm.
Members of the board do not expect
that county operation of the farm
during the coming year will result in
any profits being earned for the
county. In fact they will be well sat
isfed if the operating of the farm
brings sufficient revenue to pay the
operating expenses and pay for the
farm machinery that it will be neces-
say to buy. The> plan for the present
includes the purchase of team,
tractor and such necessary machinery
as may be needed for the fail and
winter work. Tt is planned to have
all the productive land ON the farm
planted in the spring
Thus far the committee has not re-
ceived any applications for the posi-
tion of manager of the farm, but an
effort will be made to get one of Tie
best farmers in Kenosha county to
undertake the work of making this
farm one of the model farms of the
county.
Many of the members Of the board
believe that some time in the future,
the county will find it necessary to
erect hospital for the insane. Mean
time it is expected that the farm will
be known as the County Farm"
If there are unfortunates who m,sst
be supported by the county, it is proc
able that some plan will be worked,
out by which these men will be utilized
for the farm work.
The board gave the entire time Of
the meeting TO the discussion of the
farm problems.
