NATION NEEDS SPORT
 ID MAINTAIN SPIRIT
CWritten by Governor John K Tener
 for the United Press)

(Written by Governor John K. Tener for the United Press)
 Now that spring-like weather and the warm days are upon us the call of the baseball field seems stronger than ever. Especially is this true among our soldiers and sailors, as they may be encamped on this side of the Atlantic or in France.
 Whenever and wherever the Ameri- can youth finds the opportunity he yields to the desire to get into the open with ball and bat and indulge in the game of baseball, of which he is so fond
 While our minds must, by reason of the very nature of the situation, be constantly flied with thoughts of war, we realize that while our best efforts are given to our country's service we nut keep our minds and bodies in such shape as to make those efforts the most effective.
 A feeling of depression and fear will never win against good cheer, good health and good work
 The administration, headed by the President himself, has approved the continuance of outdoor sports through out the war. Those colleges which abandoned baseball and football last year have put their athletics again into full swing. while the Red Cross has found that next in importance to food and munitions our men in France require baseball and other athletic paraphernalia, that they may indulge in their sports and thus keep up the physical fitness and spirit of the army
 Baseball is d war game. There is no blot on it's banner. It has given it's fair share on service and is pre- pared to give more.

 "To tranquillize the population, the newspapers state that the Americans will only be able to send to France several hundred or possibly several thousand soldiers who will succeed in escaping the submarines. All the others, they assert, will be sunk"
 Another letter, from a priest, an nOunces that the entire population of Alsace-Lorraine between r and 50 years of age has been ordered mobil- ized for civilian work. Priests are included.
 Still other letters declare that cloth of all kinds has become so scarce that it is not to be found, and leather is likewise disappearing.
 "At Strassbourg," the letter contin, ues, both men and women are to be seen going about barefooted, many not even having wooden soles with their paper thongs"
 Other letters state that in the two provinces, as elsewhere in Germany, the bulk of the wearing apparel is now made out of the paper substitute for cloth which has been devised in Germany since the beginning of the war.

THE STORY OF A STACKER
Full of Thrilling Heart Gripping Situa-
tions and Sentiments Appealing to
the Best That Is In the Lover Of
Home and Country.

Mothers of Kenosha should not fail
to see the great picture play MO
theirs of Liberty which will be put
on at the Majestic next Friday, June
q and at the Butterfly, Saturday,
June %.
Mothers Of Liberty has received
the most favorable notices from the
cities in which it has been shown. It's
unique character and the fact that it
has been produced with cast of stars
from a half dozen rival studios who
were formerly distinguished on the
legitimate stage, make it a picture SUI
perior to thousands that are now be-
ing shown, aside from the patriotic SEN
timent that runs through it from be-
ginning.
When the patriotic phase of the pic
ture is considered it is one that no one,
especially the mothers( should fail to
see.
Mrs. Walker, widow of an American
army captain who lost his life in the
Spanish American war, suffers the
qualms that only 3 mother knows when
her youngest son joins the colors at
the first call to arms. She is far more
disturbed later to discover that her
other son is an arrant Stacker. The lat
ter s sweetheart, too, is bitterly disap-
pointed in the man and spurns him to
point the path of duty by going to
France ais nurse.
The recreant Walker finds little peace
in the safety that is his, far from the
struggle, in the comfort of a fashion
able apartment. Although he escapes
the scornful eyes of the world, the
f, first book he picks up to divert his
mind filings his shame in his face in the
story of parallel case of half a cen
tury ago. Fascinated by the brutal
ties disclosed, he pores over "When the
Hun Came to A1sace'' until the mean
| ing of the present war and the neces-
sity for manhood to assert itself burns
Unto his brain.
/ Swift to act when aroused Walker
follows the brave hearts who have gone
before and soon is doing his bit.' IT
is his good fortune to be first to fall
in the good fight, but not until he has
earned distinction. His wounds neces-
state his removal to base hospital,
where he awakes to find the woman who
had spurned him as a Stacker minister
ing to his recovering and that he has
experienced regeneration in the eyes Of
all the world as well as in fact
through bravery. The reconcilliations
and the romance that follow are what
is naturally to be expected under the
circumstances.

RED CROSS FIRE.

Red Cross officials are rejoicing over
the arrival of the sock yarn. With it
came the quota which is 1890 pairs of
socks This is the largest quota the
Kenosha Red Cross has ever had to
meet but there is no doubt but what
the lot will be finished in a short time
if all the knitters who have called for
yarn in the past few weeks will come
up for their share this week. 1t is
hoped that the counties will send for
their supply as soon as possible as it
is necessary to get the department In
full running order again.
Knitters are asked to use the Kitchen
er toe in making the socks as it is
more comfortable than any other. The
directions are unchanged excepting for
the cuff of the sock which should be
three inches long, instead of four.
When finished, the cuff, stretched as
much as possible, should measure 61a
cross-wise (double.) Many of the
cuffs that come in could almost be
used as wristlets.
