by their heroic services, and no less
heroic sacrifices.
The Rev. R. R. Risley spoke in be-
half of the Sunday school and re-
ferred to the influences which helped
to form and shape this Wauseon
boys character and strengthened and
determined him in the service which
he has rendered.
The services closed with singing of
"The Star Spangled Banner" and
benediction by the Rev. C. F. Evans.
Mckinley Robinson, son of Wal
lace and Jennie Robinson, was born
in WauseoD, September g. 1898; he
died in a hospital in France August
8, 1918, aged 19 years, II months, and
27 days. His father, Wallace Robin
son, who preceded him in death, was
also a soldier, having served his
country under the same Stars and
STRIPES during the Civil War.
Mckinley leaves to cherish his
memory his mother, Mrs. John Reed !;
one sister and two nieces. He leaves
besides, an honored memory in the
hearts of all the citizens of his native
town.
He enlisted at Toledo, Ohio, May
IL, 1917, being assigned to the 18th
Ambulance company, and going over
seas with the first of the U. S. Expe-
dictionary forces.
Some tirne after his arrival IN
France he was assigned to duty in a
field hospital and later was. trans
ferred to the 1st Division, 3rd Ambu-
lance Corps, thus being separated
from three other Wauseon boys -
Howard Furney, Howard Garrett, and
Orson Beebe, who enlisted at the
same time he did and were with him
on the trip across.
1t was while serving in the last
named organization that Mckinley
Robinson received the wounds which
resulted in his death.
One more of our brave American
lads a victim of German greed anc
| hate, and one more reason why we
who remain must sweep forever from
the earth the inhuman power that has
blighted so many homes and taken sc
many lives. 1t must not be forgotten
that this Wauseon boy was not TAX
ing life, but seeking to save it, wher
his own life was taken.

Under the tree canopy on Monu-
mental Park a large concourse of peo-
pie gathered last Sunday afternoon to
do honor to the first Wauseon boy TO
fall in action while on duty with the
American expeditionary forces in
France. A grave in an American GEM
etery somewhere in France, which
contains the mortal remains of Nc
Kinley Robinson was in the mind of
his family, friends, and neighbors as
they gathered in the quiet of the per-
feet summer afternoon.
The services were held under the
auspices of the United Brethren Sun
day school, of which Mckinley was
formerly a member; the service flag
of the school, with its one gold star
at the top of the banner.
The veterans of Losure Post G. A.
R. were present in body and a group
of young men under the leadership
of Mr.. M. C. Roberts furnished the
music for the occasion, with Miss
Olga Stuempel at the organ.
The Rev. R. R. Risley, pastor of
the United Brethren church, had
charge of the services and announced
that an effort had been made to have
the Rev. Mr.. Williams, who was pas
tor at the time Mckinley Robinson
was in the Sunday school, present for
this occasion; but this effort failed;
the Rev. Mr.. Williams could not be
present. The Rev. A. B. Eby offered
the opening prayer.
The Rev. Mr.. Risley announced Da-
Wis B. johnson, clerk of courts and
secretary of the Fulton county chap
ter of the American Red Cross So
ciety, who gave a splendid address,
paying tribute to the bravery and
courage of Mckinley Robinson, and
his comrades who are devoting their
young lives to defend the principles
of human freedom and right against
the atrocious German autocracy.
Frank E. Kenyon was the next
speaker. In his address, Mr.. Kenyon
referred to Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress as applicable in many particu-
lars to the present occasion. Now
as then, the nation conceived in lib
erty and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal" is en-
gagged in a great war. Now, as then
the war is to the end that govern
ment of the people, by the people, and
for the people shall not perish from
the earth" And now, as then, thoss
who have given and are giving theil
lives for this great cause have giver
the honor, and it remains for those
who are left to dedicate their lives
and services to the cause which sucl
men as Mckinley Robinson have ad
vanced so nobly and grandly thus fal

COUNCILMEN'S
DISCUSSIONS
Fulton Street New York Central
Crossing Should Be Guarded =
Complaints Heard - Resolutions
Tabled = More Gas Rate Propa-
ganda-Mexicans Who Celebrate.

A representative of the manage
ment of the Air Line of the New
York Central Ry met with the coun-
ell for the purpose of learning the
councils exact wishes concerning the
guarding of the Fulton street cross
ing. The council is insisting upon a
24-hour, or continual guard service at
this crossing; the question has been
as to whether they would be willing
to accept a mechanical danger warn
ing for a part of the time. After
prolonged discussion the council came
to the unanimous conclusion that, all
conditions taken into consideration, a
man on guard at this crossing every
hour of the "a was the most desir-
able, and the railroads representa-
tive was informed that the council
would pass a resolution demanding
such a safeguard at the Fulton street
crossing. This is by no means all
that the council is endeavoring to Sc
cure in the way.of safeguarding the
life and limb of those who have to
cross the New York Central tracks
within the boundaries of the village.
! Both the Franklin street and Shoop
avenue crossings are unguarded and
without danger signals of any sort,
and both these crossings are at pres
ent constant menace to these who
have occasion to use them, either as
pedestrians or in vehicles. Iha scare
ity of man power, as we'll as mate
rials, which would enter into the con-
struction of mechanical danger warn
ings was presented by the railroad
representative as a reason why the
management was unable at the pres
ent time to place all of the safe
! guards that are asked for.
/ A resolution to accept settlement
from Mr. H. Anderson for an assess
ment against property owned by him
to pay for the Wood, Third, and
Hickory streets improvement, at a
sum far less than the amount as
sessed, on the ground that the as
sessment exceeded the present value
of the property, brought forth a
strenuous protest, and on vote re-
ceived tie; two for it and two
against. The mayor refused to cast
the deciding vote, and on motion the
resolution was laid on the table TO
await a full meeting of all the coun-
cilmen; only four being present Mon
day night.
The mayor reported communica-
tions from Mr.. Sloan of the Ohio
Gas, Light & Coke company in which
the last named gentleman expressed
desire to appear before the council
to present a proposition to immedi-

family being either too old or toe
young for military service
Capt. Chas. A. Jordan of Saline

In speaking of the slowness with
which the campaign to secure nurses
in Toledo progresses, Mrs. Robert l..
Morris of that city said in a recent
address: "What we need in Toledo is
revival among women that will
carry US out of the pro-self class into
the pro-American-win-th class y
Wonder if we do not need that sort
of revival in Fulton county! Won

men as well as some women!
