ELKS BOWLING MEET
HAS BEEN CALLED OFF

The Elks' annual statement bowling
tournament which was to have been
held in Racine in February and March
has been called off because of the war
and general unsettled conditions. The
decision not hold tournament in
Racine this year was reached after a
conference with Racine Elks who were
to participate and letters to commit
tees of lodges throughout the state,
who were preparing to send teams to
the tournament. All appeared to be in
favor of not holding state tourna-
ment at this time. Every Elks' lodge
in Wisconsin has from five to eighty
members in the army or navy nowin
camps and awaiting orders to move to
Atlantic sea-ports to board transports
for France.

KENOSHANS All CUSTER
MAY GO ACROSS SOON
Men at Camp Custer Get Orders Which
Indicate An Early Ccll into the
Overseas Service.

Orders received at Camp Custer on
Thursday telling all men at Camp Gus
ter what equipment they should have
before sailing inspired new rumors of
an early trip overseas for the Eighty
fifth division. The men feel especially
convinced because the orders call for
two suits of heavy winter undercloth-
ing and no summer togs, which would
suggest that the division either goes
across very soon or not until next fall.
Division officers do not pretend to
interpret the orders, which are posted
at headquarters. If the division should
move soon, however, it would have to
be reinforced from other camps, for
there are 10000 drafted men yet to
report there for training.
The government theater was opened
Thursday night with concert by the
massed band representing seven regi-
mental bands. Bohumir Kryl, Chicago,
directed and the program was by no
means all ragtime. Some classical num-
bers were played and appreciated.
Major General Parker and staff were
guests of honor. Paul Davies, former
tenor with De Wolf Hopper and
other stars, now an army captain,
was soloist.

MORE KENOSHANS
SEEKING PAROLES
Chester A. Smith and Silla Porifco
VIII Have Hearing Before the
Governor on Januar y22nd.

Tw omore Kenosha men serving terms
in the state prison at Waupun have
asked for executive clemency. They
are Chester A. Smith and Silla Porifco.
Smith was sentenced to the state prison
for term of one year on June 23rd,
1917, after he had pleaded guilty to
charges of grand larceny. He was
charged with stealing a package from
one of the wagons of the American
Express Company. Porifco was sent
enced to term of five years ON May
%, 1915 after conviction on charges of
pandering. Both of the men have
served more than half of the time for
which they were sentenced and it is
declared that both of them have prison
records which would give them a
chance for consideration. The hear
ings will take place in the executive
offices at Madison on January 22nd. It
is not expected that the officials Of the
county will make any objection to the
granting of the paroles.

TWO HUNDRED BRAVE STORM
In Spite of Blizzard Large Hall is Filled
With Enthusiastic Members - Judge
Randall Presides as Installing Off
Cer-Dancing F Follows Installation.

Two hundred members of the Piks
Woods Camp of the Modern Woodmen
of America and of the Lake View
Camp of the Royal Neighbors braved
the snow storm Friday evening to at
tend the joint installation services Of
the two orders held at Carpenter Hall
and were well repaid by the enthusiasm
which was aroused at the meeting The
installation ceremonies of the Woodmen
were in charge of Judge Clifford L.
Randall, Past Consul of the Modern
Woodmen, who was assisted by Fred
Cain as installing escort. The ritual
istic services were followed by several
short talks by the members of the Or
ders in which the work for the ensu-
ing year was outlined.
The officers installed by Judge Ran
dali in the WOodmen Camp for 1918
were: Consul, Matt P. Schuhen; Past
Consul, Fl. Bruner; Worthy Adviser,
John De Young; Excellent Banker, Jno.
Milligan; Clerk, William Male; Es-
cort, R. Ours; Waterman, Henry Min
KEEL; Sentry, John Burkhardt; Trustee,
Sam Skyes. This is the second term for
Consul Matt P. Schulien and his re-
election was distinct tribute to the
efficiency of his service to the order.
| The installing ceremonies of the
Royal Neighbors featured the aIlegoric-
al part of the ritual which is both in
teresting and helpful. Under the able
direction of Miss Harmon, as installing
officer, and Miss Elizabeth Rapp as
ceremonial marshall, the installation
service was staged with a simplicity
and beauty which caused admiration
from the hearers. In this ceremony the
moralities were represented as follows:
O Faith, = Mrs. Anna Jacobsen; ''Cour-
age" Mrs. Hazel Anderson; "Modes-
| ty," Mrs. Gascoyne; Unselfshness, -
Mrs Anna Bohannon; Endurance, F"

1 Second Marshall, Mrs. Mary Kellman;
Inner Sentinel, Mrs. Louise Gocdfellow;
Outer Sentinel, Mrs Leua Marshall;
Managers, Mrs. Mary Schlater and
Mrs. Estella Roemer.
The business meeting was followed
| by banquet and {. social hour which
! will be long remembered in the annals
of the two eaIlps. Dancing until late
hour was the rule and held the mem
bers of the orders in one of the most
interesting meetings of this year. The
meeting marks the end of a years work
which has been marked by advance in
every line for both camps. The praise
offered to the retiring officers for the
efficient and successful service offer
ed in 1917 and the interest displayed at
the meeting augured well for the ac-
Invites of the Woodmen and NeighbOrs
| in 1913.

MANY ARE ANSWERING
CALL OF GOLD GLORY
Bruce Eastman Has a Round Dozen
of Applicants for Work as Inspec-
tors in the Government Service.

Kenosha men heard and answered
the recent call made through these
columns for competent engineers to
serve as inspectors for Uncle Sam at
the great aviation construction fac
tories or at the various signal corps
camps throughout the nation. The call
which is made through the Military
Training Camps Association is for
civilians to serve as inspectors to pre-
vent sabotage and imperfect war ma
terials from being sent to the front
and is one of the most important
branches of civilian service.
Friday evening at the First National
Bank twelve men applied for blanks
to Recruiting Agent Bruce Eastman
and their applications have been put
on file. Most of these were competent
mechanicians at the various factories
of the city, but one had had consider
telephone and telegraph apparatus and
should be valuable to the government.
One other was an expert timber in
spector and wood worker and applied
for inspector of the wooden supports
which are used in the government
airplanes.
1t had been expected that Kenosha
would furnish several inspectors, but
the flood of applications was pleas
ant surprise to the officials in charge
here. The names of the successful
applicants will be made public as soon
as word is received from their appi-
cations.

age of fourteen years, residing in the
city OF Kenosha must be REGISTERED and

ing Saturday night every German in

in securing the completion of this
work at the earliest possible time.
The registration is expected to be vol
untary and it will be decreed for every
city, village and town in the Eastern
District of Wisconsin. Formal orders
for the re ;istration of alien enemies in
the county have not as yet been re-
ceived bat it is expected that this will
be under the direction of Sheriff Herr
mann and he will have the aid of the
district Attorney.
Blanks for the registration of the
aliens win be sent from Washington
within the next two or three days and
they win be in the hands Of the Off
cials a week before the actual regis
tration starts.

Of Police O'Hare week ago that the
police department would be expected tc
take care of this registration and few
of the aliens have already come to the
police office and have asked to be propl
erly registered
1t is expected that drastic enforce
ment of barred zones will follow thi,
registration and the aliens will be fully
advised of privileges and restrictions
at the time the permits are issued Il
them.
Natives Of Austria are not mentioned
in the order which has just been ISSUED
to United States Marshall Samuel Ran

sT0RA STOPS ONE LIST
City Turns Over List of Delinquents
But County Board Finds It Impossible
for Men to Return Questionnaires
On Account of Storm.

Acting under the direct orders Of the
adjutant general the county exemption
board ordered the sheriff to believer
another alleged "deserter' to the
commandant at Ft Sheridan today.
The man was Charles Mockes of
Pleasant Prairie. This man was found
by the board and the adjutant general
to have willfully'' avoided military
service. He did not report for exam
ination, he did not report when certi-
fed for service on October 18th of
last year and he had not returned his
QUESTIONABLE. He claimed that he had
not received his mail and that for this
reason it had been impossible for him
to know of the calls made upon him.
Mockes was in the custody of the
sheriff today and he will be taken to
Fit. Sheridan an delivered to the
army officers there just as soon as the
trains are running again.
The officials in charge of the draft
work in the county declare that they
have trace of three more deserters who
will be arrested and jailed within the
next forty-eight hours. Two of these
men are said to be in Kenosha and
the third is living in distant city.
Carl A. Franzen, who was brought
in as a technical deserter, cleared his
skirts this morning when he was
formally modified to go to Camp Gus
ter. He submitted to a physical ex-
animation and on being found physi-
callv fit was at once ordered to camp
He is now waiting at the offices of the
exemption board for train service
to be resumed between Kenosha and
Battle Creek.
The city board today turned over the
usual list Of delinquents to the chief
of police, but no report of delinquents
was made by the county exemption
board. This action was taken on &C
count of the fact that the members Of
the board held that it was impos.
sible under the storm conditions for
men living in the rural districts
to make returns.
The returns due today will be receiv
ed any time within the next couple
of days when trains are in operation
and roads are opened.
The list turned over by the city
was as follows:
Everett L. Bailey, Ecotia, Wash.
Walter Markowski, 80 Ashland CT.
Alex Calicchio, sos Park st.

NORTH SHORE LINE
is BUILDING BRIDGE

In addition to the work which it is
doing to eliminate a trestle over the
Kinniekinnic River, the Chicago, North
Shore and Milwaukee Railroad is per-
forming another engineering feat about
one thousand yards south. A new
bridge is being built over what is
known as the st. Francis cutoff tracks
Of the Chicago & North Western road.
The abutments are reinforced con-
crete, and contain 975 cubic yards OF
concrete and forty-fve tons of rein
forcing steel. TO make room for the
bridge foundation twelve hundred and
fifty cubic yards of earth had to
be removed.
The bridge will be of steel and will
be sixty-fve feet long, weighing about
one hundred tons. It will have
reinforced concrete floor, providing
for ballasted track.
Among the recent improvements made
by the company is the erection of
seven freight houses-two in Milwau-
kee and one each in Racine, Kenosha,
Waukegan, North Chicago and Liberty
vile. Two new sub-stations also
have been built.
The company has put in sixty-fve
thousand ties and fifteen thousand Gu
bic yards of stone ballast, laid four
thousand feet of new track at the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station,
and installed great number of cross
ing devices.

1t is just possible that Russia is be-
ginning to see a great light. That this
light may lure the fighting slavs back
into the trenches that the democracy
of which they have had only a taste
may be made permanent for them by
the bringing of democracy to other por-

doubtedly pay dearly for her departure

SCHOOLS SELL rHRIFT STAMPS
Teachers in Many of the Kenosha
Schools Present the War Savings
SvStem To Their Pnnils

Z
System to Their Pupils.
"Invest your pennies with U. S. &
Co. It's the safest pennybank in the
world and it pays you Az interest on
your money. It needs your small
change to win a great war and
will repay you hundred-fold by de-
Tending your liberty"
This was the message carried to en-
thusiastic pupils by patriotic teachers
in most of the public schools of Keno
sha on Friday morning and afternoon.
The action was the beginning of a
widespread campaign for war savings
among the younger generation in the
city and inaugurated the drive with a
vim and verve that insure success.
"The children were very respon-
sive", said one of the teachers this
morning. "They caught the idea i'm
mediately and were willing to break
their china-pigs or steel banks in order
to get pennies for Uncle Sam. They
showed themselves little patriots and
we re proud of them"
The drive will be continued with a
propaganda of education. Through post
-ers, pamphlets used in reading lessons,
and talks in morning exercises, the
young Americans will be shown the
personal and patriotic value of govern
ment thrift and war-savings stamps
and thereby be inspired to invest the
pennies and nickels formerly spent
on trifes in baby bonds that will
show their loyalty.
Subsequently blue postcards and
other agencies will be used to solicit
purchases among the pupils as well as
to "carry the message" to fathers and
mothers at home not yet awakened tC
the Importance of war savings stamps
