"FOR SOLDIER MOTHERS

OF H. s.

where Ine haH OF Eame 10r
soldier mothers?' This appropriate
query from one of the most popular
war time melodies, has found a partial
answer in Kenosha. The first honor
roll to list the mothers of soldiers at
the front appears today when the
Parent-Teacher Association of the Cen.
trail High school makes public the list
of mothers, whose sons, once students
of e. Ell. S., are now fighting some
where for "Old Glory The roll does
not pretend to list all of the soldier
mothers of Kenosha, but only those
whose soldier sons once attended K.
H. S. and are therefore now members
of the Parent Teacher Association.
You see,' said Mrs. w. j. Threi-
men, 313 Lake avenue, who has been
in charge of the committee which com
piled this latest honor roll, {" someway
or other we have always felt that these
mothers who fight the battles back
home and sacrifice sometimes all the
hopes which they have cherished for
the future should have some Of the
glory as well as the worry and sacrifice
of war. The list may be incomplete
we may have failed to find some names
even after we have exhausted every
source Of information and we shall
welcome any information which will
lead to additions to the list
On the list as on all honor rolls are
names written in gold. Two of these
mothers have already sacrificed their
sons to the defense of America and
humanity; the late Mrs. E. Harmon,
whose son Corporal George Harmon
died from wounds while fighting with
the Canadians on the western front and
who with his dying breath almost
wrote to Kenoshans asking that he be
remembered as an American, and Mrs.
G. FL. Curtiss, whose son, Lieut.. Her
bert Curtiss, U. S. N. A., one of the
first to volunteer for training, died from
pneumonia while in the service of the
Stars and Stripes" On the honor

who are dead are marked with an
asterisk and in either instance the
names are written in gold on the
roll of honor.
The honor roll with both the name
Of the mother, who in this instance is
especially honored and the name of the
soldier who by his sacrifice has placed
his mother IS name on this roll of honor,
will at some later date be printed and
placed in eonspicous position in the
corridors of the General High school
building. Space will be left for
any additions which may be later
made to the list.
