DEATH OF JOHN FRENZ.
War Died in Milwaukee this Morn
ing After Long Illness.

John Frenz, aged 81 years, one Of
the best known of the pioneers of Ken
osha and veteran of the civil war
died at a hospital in Milwaukee this
morning following long illness from
a complication of diseases. Mr.. Frenz
had been in feeble health for several
years, and for some time he had been
in the hospital.
The deceased was a native of Ger
many but he came to Kenosha when
ne was sixteen years of age. He had
since been a resident Of the city. At
the breaking out of the Civil War he
was member of one OF the volunteer
companies raised in Kenosha. He was
one Of the most active members of the
Fred s. Lowell Post of the Grand Army
of the Republic.
In his younger life he worked as a
teamster. Later he went into the liv-
erv business and he was in this bust
ness for many years. Nearly twenty
years ago he retired from active bust
ness life. The family home has been
on Julius street for any years. Sur
viving are two sons John Frenz of
Kenosha and George Frenz of Blue Is
land, Illinois and two daughters, Mrs.
S. A. MaeSwain of Grand Rapids, Mich,
and Miss Nellie FreEz of Kenosha.
The remains will be brought to Ken
osha for interment but on account of
the uncertain train service announce
ment of the time of the funeral will
not be made until later in the week.

ing an intent audience of seekers aft

income tax law today in the north
west room of the upper floor at the
courthouse. He has not yet receiv-
ed the necessary blanks on which to
make reports, so cannot assist any
body in making their reports. But
he takes great pains to explain care
fully all points asked. He is having
the men write their names and ad-
dresses in a book, promising to send
them the blanks upon receipt of them
himself-but admonishes the men
that he is not responsible, as they
must be sur of a provision of the
blanks. Banks will have a supply of
them, and will assist persons in MAX

are received and the report made it
is not necessary or advisable to en-
close the draft with the report, but
to remit it later, possibly on advice
from the central office at Aberdeen.

There is one wall of an old fort here
which was built by Gen. Jesse Leav-
enworth about 1927, / think, as a
defense against the Indians. Right
across from the fort is the Grant
monument. Then there is a ceme-
terry where the soldiers and people
who were killed by the Indians are
buried. There are two prisons here,
the federal and the military. | had

Six soldiers and a corporal had TO

loaded in the afternoon. Some of
them don't seem to like to work n
too well.
When | first came here we had to
drill eight hours a day. Now at 1880
each morning we go out to the
trenches. Then we dig trenches un-
til IL o'clock, then cook our own
dinner. From l o'clock till 3 we
have infantry drill, then we get off
for the day. This regiment of en-
g%ineers is connected with the infan-
try so we get about as much drill as
they do. We go ahead of them, dig
the trenches, build bridges and en-
tanglements. We have lots of fun
with the signal corps boys. They
don't have guns, but carry ~revolvers.
We tell them they had better enlist
in the army.

today and the rest of the things you
sent me; thanks very much for them.
1t was Z degrees below zero here to-
day and the paper predicts about 10
dinner we had turkey, mashed pota-
toes, gravy, dressing, cake, pie,
bread and butter, cranberries, coffee,
an apple, an orange, a pear and a
sack OF candy and nuts. We almost
made ourselves sick eating so much
Christmas dinner, although we have
plenty to eat every day. The Red
Cross gave me a sweater, but as /

You wanted to know why / did not

cause / was a year too young, so !
Joined the army. First l was sent
to Fort Logan, Colo, where / joined
the infantry. Fort Logan is about
IL miles from Denver. One can see
the Rocky mountains plainly from
the camp. They look to be about
two miles away, but are 80 miles
away. We took a trip to the Rocky
mountains and saw the grave of Col.
Cody. 1t cost us SO for the round
trip. / did not like the infantry, so
I got a transfer to the engineers,
then / was sem to Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, where l have been for the last
eight weeks. Leavenworth is a dead
burg of about 10000. The shows
here are not in the same class as
those in Denver. Our camp is three
miles out of town. We live in brick
barracks, which are steam heated.
We can draw canteen checks here
and buy nearly anything you want at
the engineers post exchange. There
is a good Y. M. C. A. here where we
write our letters. They have a box
ing match nearly every night. They
also play football and baseball.

OUR men ACROSS
MANY CARDS ANNOUNCE LAND
ING OF MADISON MEN IN
FRANCE-NO DATES.

A United States postcard, stamped
as having been passed by the mailing
censor, addressed to The Daily Lead
er and received this morning, is as
follows: Have arrived safely in
France.-Corp. Herman A. Vreyens,
M. T. Co. No. 4, 116th Supply Train,
A. Il. F., via New York"
Parents and friends got cards of
similar wording from many others of
the company, and in no case was
there any other thing spoken of than
a safe arrival. 1t is a matter of con-
graduation that the men so well
obeyed the injunctfons of secrecy of
their movements, thereby protecting
the water.
knowledge just short of being ac-
tual and positive of the men being in
France has been had by parents and
friends for some time. For some
weeks there have been no letters re-
ceiyed. But a counter rumor has
circulated to the effect that their
camp was guaranteed for black
measles. The news this morning eff
fectually disposes of any such sup
position or possibility, and estab-
fishes the fact that they were sue
cessful in evading any conflict with
the k~aiser's undersea sneakers.
Geo. Il. Farmer received a cable
gram last night from his son, John
Farmer, that he, too, had arrived
safely ON French soik Like the mes
sages from the men of the Madison
company, that was the whole content
of the message. He is in the signal
corps of a hospital unit, has been
connected with a recruiting station
there and taking training in the
course there. Up to the time of sail
ing he had no company or regiment
al assignment.
ID. j. Molumby also received a card
from his son, William, who is a
member of Company No. 3, of the
same supply train, showing that not
only the number A company, compos.
ed mostly of Madison men, is on the
other side, but also the other, oil
Howard company are gone. This
probably includes the whole 116th
supply train.

FOR i. S. SENATOR
FROM BAY STATE

Boston. July 29.-Former Governor

self a candidate for the Democratic

Mr.. Walsh said that he was impelled
to make this announcement because he

der with President Wilson during the
progress Of the war, but also at the
conclusion Of the struggle to stand fear
lessly and forcibly for those vital prin-
ciples of democracy for which we are
waging war. Mr. Walsh said he was
for a vigorous prosecution of the war.

restoration to economic and Industrial

men manned Snd crippled because OF

ton Of the right Of labor under the
