TO DRILL AT ARMoRY.

After several weeks Of inactivity due
to the recent epidemic, the Kenosha
Provisional Battalion has now COM
menced its drills, the first drill being
on Wednesday night, November 6, when
Companies G and D, under Captains
Stewart and Yule, will renew the sea-
son IS work. The other two companies
of the battalion will not commence
drill until Monday night, November IL.
One Of the important events of the
battalion will be the formal muster and
inspection to be held on November 13,
when General Charles King and Colonel
Horace M. Seaman, of Milwaukee, will
be present to administer the new oath,
which will officially recognize the Ken
osha battalion as the first separate
battalion Of the Wisconsin State Guard
Reserve. The proficiency and work of
the battalion in the past has been so
highly appreciated by Adjutant Gen.
eral Holway that it was decided some
time ago to have the local battalion
given special military recognition. The
battalion was especially requested by
the War Department officials last win
ter to perform guard duty over govern
ment property at the ordnance ware
house in Kenosha, and members of the
battalion were on duty every night for
five months in weather with temporal
ture ranging from so degrees above
to Is degrees below zero. Other serv-
ices rendered by the organization were
of such a character that it was deemed
advisable to give the battalion special
recognition. Orders have therefore been
Issued to enroll the entire battalion as
a State Reserve Battalion and to ar
range for equipping same with proper
rifles, belts and bayonets.
General King and Colonel Seaman
will be the guests Of the officers at an
informal dinner preceding the inspec-
ton and viii also make short trip
through the factories of the city.
Major Medium has issued letter to
all members of the battalion to be on
hand promptly on November Ii at
'elock P. NJ.
The board of officers Of the battalion
held meeting yesterday at which it
was decided to proceed at onee with
arrangements for the second annual
military reception and dance of the
battalion on Thanksgiving Eve. Lieu
tenant Frank Truax was appointed
chairman of the committee and viii be
in complete charge OF the program.
The Since Band has been secured for

BARRACKS LIFE DESCRIBED
BY CORP. II. E. MURPHY
Kenosha Boy Says German Army Runs
So Fast Allied Armies Cannot Keep
UP and Speedy Fall Is Certain.

So Fast Allied Armies Cannot Keep
Up and Speedy Fall Is Certain.
"Well, mother, it will not be long
before am back home,, writes Cor
poral Harold E. Murphy, of 18th Com
pany, Fourth Regiment Air Service
Mechanics, with the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in France, to his mother,
Mrs. John Murphy, 408 Park street,
Kenosha. Among other things he says:
cit will not be long before I get
back home, for the German army is on
the verge of one Of the biggest defeats
the world ever saw, which win be, no
doubt, the fall of the German Empire.
The Allied armies can not keep up with
the Germans, they are retreating SO
fast. Tt is only a matter of short
time until old Fritz viii be done for.
It can not come too quick for any of US.
But he viii get no peace until he is
made to pay for the crimes he has com
mitted.
"You certainly would laugh if you
were here in the barracks tonight. One
fellow is arguing with another as to
how long it will take to get us home,
and another is telling what he is going
to do when he does get back, and |
have to stop writing to help them along
occasionally. We are just one big fam
lily. If you could only see how nicely
we are fixed up you would not worry a
minute. Just think, am over here
having the time of my life and you
sitting back home worrying.
"'The Victrola is always going and
there are always two or three arguments
going on at the same time, and all the
arguments pertain to the time it will
take to end the war. One fellow says
it will last so long; another says there
will be no more fighting done after an
other month; another says it will end
by Christmas; then some joy killer will
come along and say: why, bet we
will be over here for another year.
There goes that Victrola again and ]
will stop"

National Organization Of Girl Scouts
What 1t IS What 1t Means and What 1t Does for the Girls
History of the Movement

girls to meet emergencies, to be able to
care not only for themselves bat for
others, for therein lies the secret Of
service. Each Girl Scout must be able
% pass proficiency tests before court
of honor composed of the finest experts
in each subject to be found IN tha
community. The only test given by her
leader being the first, taken when a girl
leaves the candidate class and enters
that of the tenderfoot or third class
scout. All tests for second and first
class ranking are taken before the
court of honor. This eliminates the
lack of Standardization due to the per-
sonal standards set by troop officers.
Educators everywhere are furthering
the Girl Seiut movement, realizing that
its success rests on the fact that to be
really good scout, which is the ann
bition of every girl, girl selects her
own work, and thus by her own choice
she develops responsibility initiative,
and a leadership which is stimulating
and which she seldom develops under
the average school system. And so her
development along this line goes hand
in hand with her recreation, supplying
two fold need.
Fellowship for the training Of Girl
Scout leaders are offered by the fol-
lowing universities: Teachers College,
Boston University, John Hopkins and
New York University, and in the
smaller colleges in Philadelphia, New
York, Boston and Minneapolis.
Troup Organization.
Each group of Girl Scouts, known in
the organization as a troop, may con-
sist of one or more patrols, each patrol
being composed of eight girls, four
patrols forming the average troop. The
officers for troop are the captain, who
is the official leader, and is commits
stoned from the headquarters in New
York, the lieutenant, second in rank
and also commissioned, and leader
of each patrol, elected by the girls
themselves. Each troop also elects
its own secretary, who keeps accurate
record of all work of the troop, and
treasurer. Simple parliamentary prac-
tice is a part of the meeting of each
troop. Over all the troops of district
there is council of brOadminded
women under the leadership of com
missioner who receives her appoint
ment from National headquarters.
The Army and Navy commission ON
training camp activities working
through the War Camp Community
service are pushing the work of the
Girl Scouts in all communities adjacent
to training camps, as it puts into the
life of the girls of the community SO
vigorous and constructive a program
of definite service and patriotic and
social outlet, and gives her a code OF
honor so completely within her com
prehension that she has neither chance
| or desire to spend her time in other
WAYS. In common with other COM
munities the movement has been intro
duced into Kenosha and there are at
present either fully organized or in the
process of organization good number
of troops of Girl Scouts.

Everyone knows what kind of Min

and it is not for the likes of me to
try to describe them, but they say
they are going to surpass all this past
fame, splendor, and glory.
The production is under the direction
of Joe Bren Producing Company Of

several very good shows for the Elks

new costumes, would be in evidence,

novelties.
The committees were appointed last

ladies, in the cast, as well as men,
and this is sure to prove interesting,
as Kenosha has some very good home
