RED CROSS FIRE.

The comfort kit quota is here and Of
ficials are rejoicing over the complete
change in directions sent by the central
division. No more red tape in the
making of comfort kits. The new pat
tern calls for a plain bag with a draw
string, eliminating the fussy pockets
and all. The new kits are easy to
make; one could easily complete doz-
en- or more in few spare hours.
The materials will be all cut and
ready for distribution Thursday night
at seven o'clock and as three hundred
kits must be completed within ten days
the officials are anxious to have the
usual obliging throng respond to the
call for workers Remember, you can
work at the rooms or take the mater
lials home, just be sure that you call for
them at the time set as the time limit
this month is the shortest ever given
the department.
On the outside of the bag a small
American Flag will be stitched, also
a piece of white canvas for the sol,
der or sailors name.
There has been some misunderstood
| ing about the comfort kits given to
the Kenosha boys in service. Many
are Under the impression that the kits
are given to soldiers only. This is a
sad misapprehension as the sailors are
as deserving of any thing the depart
ment has to give as is any member OF
any other branch of service. Officials
are hoping that all Kenosha boys en-
listing in the navy will come up tt
headquarters for comfort kit.

A SOLDIER.


The bars upon your shoulder
Or the uniform you wear,
Doesn' It mean that you + a soldier
In this wide world war affair,
Cause a man s a man in battle
And your uniform SO bright,

IF you don t stand up and fight.
1T the stuff inside the buttons
What counts while your up there,
And you do not rate the title Soldier
If you don It fight on the square.
The title Soldier should be sacred
And not called to everyone
That sports a classy uniform,
Or Just totes round gun.
And mud soaked, blood-stained doughboy
Fighting in the jaws Of hell,
Is he cleanest type of soldier,
And a fighting man as well.

Tell my sweetheart that I love her

And I didn t feel the pain.

KENosHA MEN ALE PRAISED
President of Beloit College Sends Let
ter to Members of Local
Exemption Board.

The members of the Kenosha Ex-
emption Board are holding their heads
just little higher than usual today,
These men have grown accustomed to
compliments, but a letter from the
president of Beloit College, Melvin A.
Brannon, received this morning, is a
real tribute to young Kenosha manhood.
In his letter President Brannon says:
July s, 1918.
Members of Draft Board,
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:-
The men selected by you for the
study of gas engine construction in the
U. S. Detachment assigned to Beloit
College are giving an excellent account
of themselves in our eight weeks course
in intensive training. In the name of
Beloit College, 7 desire to express per
sonal and official appreciation of your
cooperation in this important construc-
tive work for our government and
for the success Of the world struggle
for democracy.
Knowing that you would appreciate
first hand information with reference
to the progress of your young men who
are here on their first stage of the
march to Berlin, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Melvin A. Brannon,
President.

THE REAL AsIATIC Peril

The Hun is at the gates of Odessa and the kaiser boasts
that the way to India is open. That road to India runs through
the heart of Asia, and, when Germany travels that road, she
threatens China and Japan as well as British India.
Pro- Germans in the United States mask their Hunnish
batteries by crying out against the yellow Peril" and the dan
ger of Asiatics overwhelming the white races. This is rank
hypocrisy. 1t is Germany that has invited and still plots to
bring Asiatics into the war against Europeans. The publica-
ton of the Zimmerman note exposed the kaisers plot to turn
Japan and Mexico against America. Men are now under ar
rest here for using German money to foment an uprising in
India against England and her allies.
Germans are still active in China, where they are trying to
foment a rebellion that, if successful, will turn its forces against
all white peoples except the Huns. The kaiser poses as the
protector of Turkey and the patron saint of the Mohammedan
religion. His aim is to turn the Turks and MOngOs loose on
Europeans in Asia and have them fight his battles in Europe.
This is the Asiatc peril which the world now faces. By slight
ling Japan and China the Entente allies will play the kaisers
game in Asia.
This is not the first time that Prussian miltarism has
sought help from the Turks and the Mongols. Shortly before
ISobiesky turned the tide of Turkish invasion of Europe at the
gates of Vienna, Prussia and some German states were inviting
MOslem aid in the wars waged under the guise of religion, but
in the service of the devil. The kaiser is again trying to bring
Asia into the European field and plans to equip and train vast
armies of African blacks to cooperate with Asiatic mercenar-
les in the conquest of the world in the coming war which will
Irican colonies and leave him or his successors free to call to his
standard the hordes of Asiatics and Africans who far Outnum-
Der the white races of the world.
The Asiatic peril has its roots in Berlin, not in Toxic. The
records are in the possession of the federal administration and
speak for themselves. Many a time in past ages Asiatic in
Ivaders overwhelmed the greater part of Europe. They can do
it again if armed, trained and led by Prussian officers. Shall
we throw Asia into the kaiser's hands?-New York CONNER

REMEMBER vERDUN

From generals to privates all are confident that he Ter
mans will be decisively defeated" is the news that comes from
the American front i'm France regarding the terrific ohllc'
now raging on the British sector of the allied lines. lhati 10
the feeling among those Americans who are nearest W ne
scene of action and most familiar with conditions as they u
The great battle is now four days old and as far as we
know, even from German sources, the gains of the enemy aho
the losses of the British have been less-very much less-thah
they were in the first four days of the great battle OF Veroun,
which covered a period of nine months, resulting In the fnal
retirement of the Germans after the loss of more than nall d
million men.
Great British and allied losses are to be expected, tenn
porary gains on the part of the kaiser's forces are certain. But
if two Germans are killed for evey Brton or Frenchman or
American, or even man for man be spent in the stuggle, defeat
in the end will be for the kaiser.
The latest reports indicate that there are 81 divisions at
lacking the British front. The strength of the German division,
originally about 10000. men, is considered now to be approx
mately $4,000, which would mean nearly a million and a
quarter of Teutons in front of the British lines. Ii the British
have but an equal number, this would be sixteen times the
number of men in the battle of Gettysburg and more than
double the number of men in the great battle of Hardin, near
the close of the war between Russia and Japan. And thus on
so miles only on the line of nearly 400 miles stretching from
the North Sea to Switzerland.
This death struggle of the Prussian autOcrat may end III
the present battle, but even with Paris gained the struggle will
go on, for Belgium has already shown us that a people once
free can never be conquered. The Hun will never enslave the
world.

LEVINE, TROTZKY AND THE KAISER

Lenine and Trotzky, from their positions of personal Sc
curity in Russia, are listening intently today to the reports
from the battle lines in France and Belgium, where the leu
ton troops released from service on the eastern front are USED
in another quarter to complete the subjugation of the world.
threatened Intervention of Japan in Siberia was a part OF a
Japanese German plot against the integrity of Russia, was in
keeping with his general record of treachery since the war be-
gan, but it fools nobody but the iliterate and ignorant masses
of the Russian population.
Trotzky has done all the damage that he could do to the
country he has called his own and being in large part respon-
sible for what is now the condition of things he wants to shift
the blame to some one else. That Japan could make some
gains by cooperating in Russia with Germany is true, but they
would always have the Russians to deal with and they'may not
always be like rabbits. There are almost twice as many ol
them as there are Japanese and Germans put together, and the
time may yet come when two Russians are equal to one Ger
man or one Japanese. The Japanese are reputed doughty
fighters, but they won their spurs in the easiest victory that
was ever recorded in history, over the Russian mobs at the end
of six thousand miles of broken-down railrOads-and even then
America helped them out with the peace at Portsmouth, and it
is now generally understood that if peace had not come then
and there Japan would have gone down before even the Rus
sian might, unmighty as it was.
But for Japan's present attitude we have the assurance of
its statesmen and it's government, while the British, who know
them best, place unbounded faith in them. Having pledged
itself to the alliance it is hardly to be assumed that Japan will
tear up agreements after the manner of the Hohenzonerns.
If by any chance Germany should win in the great strug-
gle that is now on, there are not, outside of Germany, two men
who would rejoice more fervently than Leon Trotzky and
Nickolai Lenine.

THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING

Evidences are accumulating that the habit of saving among
the American people, especially among the patrons of savings
banks and postal savings, is outstripping the financial demands
made upon them by the government.
While no exact figures are available at present, it is known
that postal savings deposits have steadily gained during the
year 1917, and notably since July 1 Of that year, which was
after the first issue of the Liberty Loan. The reports from saw
ings banks also show a steady gain, and the same is true of
cooperative building and loan associations.
Nor have the people of small means been the only savers.
1t is estimated that the savings of the whole people of the Unit
ed States, ordinarily five billion to six billion dollars annually,
were increased to fourteen or fifteen billion dollars in 1917
The response of the people to the national need of economy
and saving has been general and generous.

A JUST AND LASTING PEACE

The essential principles that must underlie peace, as stat
ed by President Wilson, should be constantly kept in mind
They show the greatness and unselfishness and Justice of
Americas war aims. Briefly they are:
Q) The final settlement of this war must be based upon
essential justice and each particular case so adjusted as will
most likely bring a permanent peace.
~ Peoples and provinces are not to be bartered about as
if they were mere chattels and pawns in a game.
() Every territorial settlement must be made in the in
terest of and for the benefit of the populations concerned and
not by way of compromising claims of rival states.
az National aspirations must be accorded all the salts
faction possible, without introducing new or perpetuating old
elements of discord.

The Belgian army has taken over a larger sector and the
men are spoken of as eager to fight. The little band with the
king and the queen have certainly shown their courage. They
have waited for more than three years for the redemption of
their country and they are still waiting, and there is among
them no doubt that they will get what they are hoping for and
what belongs to them.

SEND ROOSEVELT TO ITALY

The Chicago Tribune suggests that a few strong commits
sons be sent to Italy to cheer them up in the heroic resistance
that they are making. We are told by reliable correspondents
that Italy now has the best army it ever had and that there is
among the allied nations none that is better. That is good
news and it is a work that ought to be helped along. The Ger
mans, however, are not idle. They are flooding the country
with literature, dropped from aeroplanes in large part in which
the allies of Italy are assaulted as self seeking plunderers of
Italy. This propaganda ought to be combatted and the sug-
gestion that a commission of strong Americans be sent over to
give visible denials to those calumnies is a good one.
And we agree also that Colonel Roosevelt would be of all
Americans the best man to head such an Italian commission.
His name and personality would electrify Italy. There is
power in the name of Roosevelt-none in America has more
power over the imaginations of Europeans, and he would of all
men be just the man for such an undertaking. We should not
fail to realize on the potential forces that are now going to
waste-and the coloners occasional fault finding in America is
almost wasted also and sometimes even. worse.
