connection with the visit of the train
| to Kenoslfa. There VIII bo baad com
certs galore furnished by the Naval
Station band of twenty five pieces,
there will be display which will be
novel to Kenosha and which will give
some new idea of the work that is be-
ing featured by the navy.
On board this special train will be
a number of the examining physicians
of the United States Navy and Keno
sha boys who want to enlist for serv-
| ice will join the train here. They will
not have to wait for calls to service but
il they are accepted they will go right
along from Kenosha with the men
aboard the recruiting train.
"Ten thousand recruits from the
Milwaukee district is the slogan of
this party of Jackies and they have
been getting many recruits in other
cities which have been visited by the
train.
The train in which the Jackies will
come to Kenosha carries some Of the
most interesting exhibits of the Uni
ted States Navy. There will be a de-
stroyer, a submarine and one of the
new Eagle y boats the latest addi-
tion to the equipment of the navy.
| Without enough men to man every
ship, merchant or man-ofwar, the army
at the front will not receive the pro-
per backing of the American people.
German U-boats must be exterminated
like vermin. Troops must be moved
safely across the Atlantic, which can
effectively aid the allies in driving the
Teuton hordes tack across the German
boundary.
/ Thousands OF vessels are under course
of construction every day in the Uni
| ted States. How many are being COM
pleted each day is a military secret and
every one of the new ships must be
manned by trained jackies if the Kaiser
is to be beaten. Some of the new crafts
used in the destruction of Uboats are
turned out with the same rapidity. of
the well-known type of automobile,
service on these boats will be soon by
some of the men recruited.
The call for 10000 men In this naval
district is part of the appeal for 1oo,-
900 to don the naval uniform. The ex-
pedition which will tour this district is
pledged to make good its slogan.
From all Indications Kenosha will not
fail to contribute its share of recruits
| in the big campaign.
