Paris, Aug. 2s-(4:oo p. NIB
The German line is cracking along
the whole fifty mile front from
Lassigny to northwest of Arras.
The enemy is falling back hastily
on the Semme line the center of
which is marked by Perrone and
Ham. The allies are pursuing them
so closely that it is doubtful if the
Germans can make strong line
of defense. The allied air men
and artillery are bombing the
Somme bridges over which the
Germans FAUST pass to the east
bank. At some points the allied
infantry are but two kilometers
from the Somme. They have pass
ed eight liometers east of ChaTsl-
mes and the capture of Dives shows
the expansion of the battle front.
French cavalry is now in opera
tion in the region of Nestle, where
the F'renche are threatening the
Nestle-Noyon road. A mammoth
booty is being taken by the ailias.
One army corps alone has taken
eighty guns.

Private PeIisserO of Keno
sha Killed in Action on
July 31st With Infantry
In France.
BROTHER NOTIFIED TODAY
Hero of the Battle Line Was . Member
of the Second Quota OF EEen Sent from
Kanosha 60 Camp Custer IN Sep
TENDER Of Last Year.

The first 'tselected mans7 from Ke-
nosha has fallen ON the battle lines
in France as August Pelissero, 354
Middle street, received a telegram from
the Office Of the Adjutant General in
Washington, this morning announcing
that his brother Private Giuseppe
Pehssero, had been killed in action in
France on July S1st. The message
gave no details of the fighting IN which
the Kenosha soldier fell
Private Giuseppe Peaissero was %
years of age and before he left Kenosha
to 60 with the second army quota sent
to Camp Custer, he had been employed
at the plant Of the NJ. r. Allen 3 Sons
Company. He was a native of Italy
where he was born December 10, 1883,
and he had resided In Kenosha for
more than ten years before he was call
ed into the service Of the army.
He was one of the men registered
N June 5th of last wear aud while he
was an alien and properly subject
to the King of Italy, he made no claims
for exemption ON this account. Private
Pelissero was modified for service by
the city draft board on July 81, 1917,
and left with large party OF Sc
lect men for Camp Custer on Septem-
Der 22nd.
He was in the first party of selected
men sent from Camp Custer to France
and was member of one of the first
bodies Of drafted men who were sent
to the battle line.
He had been enthusiastic over his
service in the army and frequent let
tiers received from him by relatives in
Kenosha had shown the great zeal
shown by the soldier in the battle
lines. He was one of the men who
had been brigaded with the French. and
he fell in the fighting connected with
the great offensive IN the West.
August Pelissero, the brother, has
Just passed his twenty first birthday
and he was one of the men who were
registered on last Saturday. 1t IS
probable that IN thu near future he
Will take the place in the army made
vacant when his brother fell.
There are now many of the Kenosila
boys who were sent to Camp Custer
in the early quotas of 1917 fighting on
the battle fields of France and IN
doubtedly Kenosha win be shown to
have made other sacrifices in the bat
tie for world freedom in the casualty
lists to be issued in the near future.
It is estimated that more than two
hundred of the men who went in these
early quotas are in France and there
are more than two hundred other Ke-
noshans who recently arrived In France
as a part of the S5th division.

SEND BOY TO
WAUKESHA SCHOOL

Thirteen year old Edward Miller,
the home sick boy scout who is charged
with forging two checks in order to
get money to go back to his home at
Williamsburg, Pa, will probably have
to go to the reform school at Wau-
kesha.
kilograms from Pennsylvania Of
fcials received by the Chief of Police
this morning declared that the boy had
violated his parole from an institution
in that state and that they would NOT
accept the custody of the boy He was
still held at the county jail today and
Chief O'Hare declared that he had no
choice but to put formal charge
against him and have him committed
TO the school for boys at Waukesha.
II is possible that another appeal for
the boy will be made to relatives in
Pennsylvania but it is declared that
there is no reason to believe that such
and appeal will bring results.

WOMEN ALIENS
MUST HAVE PERMITS
United States Marshal Randolph Is
sues New Order in Regard to
Alien Women.

German alien women are 10 be gov
erned by the same rules which apply
to the men of the same class, as United
States Marshal Samuel Randolph has
issued an order demanding that such
women changing their places of resi-
dence or their places of employ
ments must have permits just as
are demanded Of the men. The new
order is as follows:
" A German alien female changing
her place of residence to another place
within the same registration district
shall Immediately report such change
to the registration officer of the regis
tration district and present to such
registration officer her registration
card for the purpose Of having en-
dorsed thereon by such registration
officer the change of residence.
" A German alien female who de-
sires to change her place of residence
to a place of residence within another
registration district, must obtain a
permit. Such German alien female
must present herself to the registra-
ton officer of the district in which she
then resides and make application for
the permit on form supplied by the
registration officer, and present her
registration card to the registration
officer for the purpose of having the
permit of change of residence, if
granted, endorsed on the registration
card. If the registration officer de-
MES the application there may be an
appeal under certain circumstances set
forth in Article XIII, Paragraph 8, Of
the General Regulations, to the United
States Marshal Of the judicial district
for final action
"A change of residence in violation
of the regulations subjects German
alien female, among other penalties, to
arrest and detention for the period
of the war;
The registrati9h officers who acted
in the registration will continue to act
as registration officers For the purpose
stated in respect to permits for change
Of residence.

Five kenOSha men named above will
leave Kenosha on Sunday afternoon at
two-ffty to join the army unit now in
training at the Chamber of Commerce
at Indianapolis, Ind These men were
all volunteers and the local city board
filed up its quota within a day after
the call for service had been received
These men have been granted orders
for induction into service and they
will modified at the City Hall at half
past one O'Clock Saturday afternoon
The men are called to FIJI up special
needs Of the army and they will be
trained for work as automobile me-
chanies. This is the last volunteer to
be received blythe local city board ana
it is doubtful il any other calls of this
kind will be received. The government
is expected in the future to call men
for all service, including the special
educational work from the men listed
under the draft law and in the order
in which they are listed. More than a
hundred men from Kenosha have vol
unteered for these educational units in
the past few months and many of the
later registrants have asked for a
chance to get into this kind of service.
The examination of the men regis
tered on last Saturday was completed
on Tuesday afternoon and the exam
iners report that practically every man
was found to be physically fit for
service. There were few cases in
which minor defects must be remedied
before the men are fit for service, but
the examinations will add in the neigh
borhood of forty men to the Glass Of
the city exemption board lists.
The classification Of these men will
go forward at once and they viii be
assigned their order and serial num-
bers within the next few days
The board has now called men to
take care Of all calls made upon it for
the entertainment of men during the
first part of September, but it is ex-
pected that there will be a number of
calls for men later in the month and
these calls may be decidedly large.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
WILL HOLD HEARING
Protest Of Manufacturers Against
Metering Service Mains Will be
Heard Here September 9Th.

The Wisconsin Railroad Commission
has announced hearing upon the pro-
test of local manufacturers against
the order requiring the metering of all
fire service mains. The hearing will
be held at the City Hall, Kenosha, at
ten clock a. M, Thursday, Sept. 9Th.
This matter has been hanging fire
for several months. Some months ago
the local water board issued an order
requiring all service mains to be
metered. The local manufacturers
asked for hearing by the local board
and asked that the order be rescind-
ed so far as the manufacturers were
concerned. This the local board re-
fused to do.
The local boards order required the
service mains to be metered by July 1.
Shortly after the order of the local
water board, the Wisconsin Railroad
Commission issued an order backing up
the order of the local board with the
exception that the Railroad Commits
sion did not think that July / did
not allow sufficient time for the work
to be done and extended the time I'M
til November l.
The manufacturers then presented
the matter to the Railroad Commits
sion with the result that the hear
ing on the matter will be held on
September 5th.
The manufacturers do not object to
the metering of the service mains on
account of the work or the expense
involved, but object to the order be
cause they claim that by attaching
meters to the mains it will weaken
the water pressure and thus increase
the risk Of loss by fire.

New Rule in Regard to Sun
day Automobile Riding Is
Going to Meet Response
Here.
TO EFFECT ALL VEHICLES
People Who Fail to Do Patriotic Duty
for the Nation viii Be Listed and
Names Sent to the Council of De-
Tense Hits Labor Day Plans.

Just little stunned and just lit
tie disappointed on account Of the
breaking up of plans for Labor Day,
Kenosha people who own and drive
automobiles came to the front today
and hundreds of them declared that
they would observe without a murmur
the demand Of the national fuel adj
ministrator that the use of the pleasure
cars be eliminated on Sunday.
The new order was the main topic
of conversation on the streets and
about the filing stations on Tuesday
night. Some of the people were in
clined to be little resentful of the
taking away of their pleasures at first
but later when they found that Uncle
Sam needed the gasoline to fight the
war in Europe they declared that
would be ready to make the saeri-
fee suggested.
It is not going to take any officer in
uniform to stop the use of automobiles
and motorcycles in Kenosha on SIN
day. The people are willing to make
a patriotic sacrifice. Should some few
people decline to answer fully the call
of the nation the names of these people
will be sent to the Council of De
Tense. They are going to be in line
for ostracism
The order will effect the taxicabs
in the city, but it is expected that some
of these lines will bring out old horse
drawn vehicles and use them for what
is deemed necessary work on Sunday.
1t is expected that the livery stables
viii have terrific demand for the
lease Of their rapidly reducing stock
of horses and horse drawn vehicles.
Many people in Kenosha had planned
to leave on Sunday morning for long
motor trips with the idea Of returning
on Labor Day. Some of these people
will go on Saturday instead of Sunday
morning with the understanding that
their automobiles will be TAI dup at con-
venient points over the Sunday holiday
The order will not effect the opera
ton of the city ambulances or the
pOl1CG anu nI0 NGIIlCISSt Uub INC 1uVh
in these departments will have dis
tinct understanding that the vehicles
will be used only for official purposes
and any attempt to use these vehicles
for any other purpose will be promptly
frowned on. Tt is not improbable that
the filing stations of the various COM
panies will be closed during the entire
day and it is also probable that the
garages in the city used for storage
will be closed tight Sunday morning
and not re-opened during the day.
Some Kenosha people resent the fact
that the order is only IN points East
of the Mississippi River, but this re-
sentiment viii not keep the people from
observing the rule to the fullest limit.
