March Says Publication Of 40

Aids Enemy.
Plan PROTECTS RELATIVES
General Declares Under Old System
Swarm of Claim Agents Would
Harrass Next of Kin of
Fallen Men.

Washington, March 27.-An official
statement Of the war departments rea-
sons for announcing only the names Of
American troops killed or wounded in
France was submitted to the senate
by Major General March, acting chief
Of staff, with statement that the de-
partment considers it of Dest advan-
tage from all points Of view.
General March said the old system

harfass the relatives of the men.
The policy of the war department,
General March told the senate, is ito
put In the hands Of the nearest rela-
tive or the last friend given by the sol
der in his emergency address, prompt
and accurate information concerning
the casualty before anything is gwen
to the press and to prevent any infor-
NATION appearing in the papers which
will be Of any possible assistance to the
German cause"
'The old SYSTEM" General March
added, (which gave the GATE Of the
casualty, enabled the Germans to get
exactly what effect was produced upon
our troops in a raid of that date and
you would be interested to know that
the publication of the emergency adj
dresses brought down upon the rela-
tives swarm of claim agents who
guaranteed they would get from the
government the war risk insurance
which is guaranteed by law to the
proper inheritor.
Many Made Prey of Agents.
I'm spite of the fact that the de-
partmcnt has in each case advised the
nearest relatives that their claims will
be adjusted by the government and
that they will be furnished the money
that Is due them without the interpo-
sitlon of claim agents, numbers of poor
people have yielded to the importuni-
ties of these agents and are thereby
deprived of a portion of what is justly
their due.
'tThe raids which are being conduct
ed along our front are for the purpose
of capturing one soldier, if possible,
with the object of obta ing from him
information about the organization
which is opposed to the German lines
at this point. With the publication of
the address Of the nearest relative the
German agent in the United States APP
proaches the relatives and obtains
from them the information which Ger
many IS attempting to obtain from our
front by attacks on our forces. In
France they publish no casualty lists
at all and the information reaches the
relatives from the mayor or protect of
the town where the relatives live who
is required to communicate the facts
to them verbally.
"The whole matter of a change in
our former method in publishing cas-
ualty lists was brought up by a cable
gram from General Pershing, in which
he stated that representatives of the
French government had formally pro
tested against the methods that were
then used"

where they may use their public Office
to aid in working the ruin of the ma

There can be no middle ground in
the treatment of these men. They
must be defeated if Kenosha is going
to stand before the world asa patriotic
city. The election Of such men to
office would be an indefaceahle blot
on the escuteon of the city.
Kenosha must otand ready to pro-
claim her loyalty. The first line trench
is right here IN our own city election
and that first line trench must be held
against all odds. Men who seek office
must be willing to show the people
that they are going to be loyal to
the nation. IF they can not give the
pledge of LOYALTY and back it up with
a record showing that they viii be
loyal in the future they should be de-
feated at the polls and driven out of
the city.
The Hun within must not control
in KeRosha. Kenosha men who re
loyal to the government must answer
the call of the blood. They must stand
again at the altar stained with the
blood of brave Kenosha boys who
are fighting in the ranks and pledge
again the support of Kenosha to the
cause for which these men have bled
and died.
It is not question of party. It's a
question of Country First. It's a ques-

why DOES WATER aURGLE7
Because Of the Battle Air Is Always
Making to Get Some
Place Else.


The air trying to get in causes the
gurgle. Air has one strong charac-
teristic which stands out above ey-
erything else. It wants to 60 some
place else all the time. When it
learns Of a place where there is no
air it wants to go there above all
things, and goes at it with q rush.
When you turn a bottle full Of
water upside down the water comes
out and as soon as the water starts
out the air strives to get in, and
every time you hear a gurgle you
know the air is getting in. Every
gurgle is a battle between the water
and the air. Sometimes the air
comes and pushes the water back
enough to let it slide into the bottle ;
sometimes the water pushes the air
back and thus they fight back and
forth. The water always gets out
and the air always gets in. In do
ing SO they make the gurgle.-From

COURTESY.

Did yon ever think what kind Of
manner You are developing, or how
it pleases folks who meet you2 Well,
you'd better get busy and think
about it. You have no idea what a
difference it makes. We have in
mind a man who has gained some
measure of fame he has standing in
the world and in his business. But
he owns a manner that we wouldn't
keep in the woodshed. He is ex-
ceedingly cultured and apparently
possessed Of beautiful manners, but
his manners hide a nasty s%upercih-
business. He is in reality an ex-
tremely disagreeable and conceited
person-and the fact has lost for the
business he represents many thou
sands of dollars a year. Consequent
ly it has lost many thousands foI
him. If his manner were actually
courteous instead Of counterfeit
courteous, he would be nearly a great
man.-American Boy.

OUR FIRST NAVAL SCHOOL
one Was Established at Boston After
the Last War With
EnDIand.


The first naval school in the Unit
ed States was established at the old
Boston navy yard a little over a CEN
fury ago, the founder being Commo-
dore William cambridge, who is
known as the Gather Of American
Naval Construction" and who was
born in Princeton, N. J. Balm
bridge was captured BY the French
in 1898, during the naval conflicts
between that country and the United
States, and in 1903 he was held a
prisoner for nine months by the Til
politan pirates, an exchange recalls.
He fought CALAMITY in the last
war between America and England
and after its conclusion induced the
Washington authorities to open q
training school for naval officers at
Boston. In 1910, some years after
the death Of the founder of Ameri-
can naval education, a naval school
was opened in the old naval asylum
in Philadelphia, and here for a few
years the midshipmen Of the repnb-
lie were instructed in the arts Of
warfare on the seas.
The plan was so successful that it
was decided to open a permanent
naval academy. Annapolis, Nd, was
chosen as the site Of the school and
there, over seventy years ago, the
present United States Naval acad-
envy was formally opened.

ABOUT BALANCING The BODY
our Eyes Are Very Necessary IN
Keeping our Proper EquiIlb-
rum in Walking.

When we walk naturally the steps
taken By our right and left feet are
not Of equal length. This differ
enee in the length Of the steps is
due to the fact that our legs are
never exactly The same length The
longer Of the legs will always take
a longer step than the shorter one,
and so, if our eyes are shut, we walk
in circles, unless we have something
TO guide us. When we walk with our
ewes open, we are able to overcome
the tendency to walk in circles, be-
cause our eyes help the brain. to direct
the legs on a straight course. An
other reason which affects the mat
ter is that our eyes are very neces-
sary in keeping our bodies balanced
on our feet, and it is very difficult
to learn to keep the body balanced
with the eyes closed. When your
eyes are closed and you attempt to
walk in a straight line your body
balances from one side to the other,
and this fact, coupled with the first
reason given, makes your course ir-
regular.-From the "Book Of Won
ders1 by Permission Bureau Of In
dustrial Education, Washington.

The Economy Of Victory.

The Economy Of Victory.
No matter what this war costs
the Government and the people
of the United States in the way
of money. it is going to be much
cheaper to win this war than to
lose it. The commercial and f.
nancial losses that would follow
a German victory are not to be
calculated. All that we expect
would be lost, indemnities be-
yond calculation would have to
be paid, and along with these
loses would come a continuing
loss in foreign commerce that
would spell disaster. With these
material losses we would lose our
national liberty and indepen-
dence, our power to secure our
international rights, our right to
live in a world ruled by the die
tates of humanity and civiliza-
tion.-The National Corporation
