TWENTY-THREE MEN
RAISE FUND OF 5000

Nine hundred dollars was raised by
twenty-three members of the Kenosha
branch Of the Armenian Union One
Million Dollar Patriots Fund at their
meeting in this city Sunday night.
This organization is collecting funds
for war relief work with a rapidity
that is surprising. At Chicago Sunday,
June 16, the same organization raised
100000 These amounts have been re-
ported as collected for the last week
week: Waukegan, $4,000; Erie, Pa,
$4,000, contributed by sixty-eight men;
West Hoboken, $4,000; New Britain,
Conn, $4,000; Niagara Falls, $4,000,
contributed by one hundred and fifty
men; Hopewell, Pa, $4,000, contributed
by one hundred and one hundred and
twenty men; Cambridge, Mass, $3.50;
Pawtucket, $5,703; Akron, O., 1896;
South Boston, $1,000; Paterson, $4,000;
Richmond, Va, 1880, contributed by
twenty-five men; Woonsocket, $2,250;
South Chicago, $4,000; Calumet, 81 800.
The Armenians of Kenosha are en-
thusiastic over the question of raising
money for the relief of the war suf-
ferers and are giving to the utmost
of their means.

START QUESTIONNAIRES
TO NEW REGISTRANTS

Questionnaires to BIZ flied out by
the five hundred new registered men
in Kenosha county will start going
out on Tuesday morning and it is ex-
pected that all of them will be sent
out within the week. The men to whom
they are addressed will have seven
days, exclusive of Sundays and holt
days, in which to make their returns
to the local boards.
Many of the attorneys of the city
have again volunteered their services
to act with the advisory board in aid
ing the men to answer the long list of
questions. 1t is thought that a large
majority of the men to whom the CUES.
tionnaire will be sent are still in Ke-
nosha, but many have. enlisted in vari-
Gus army and navy units and these men
will be given chance to return their
answers from camp.
The work of filing out the new
blanks will probably require two weeks
and after the questionnaires have been
returned the men will be classified and
properly recorded with other register
ed men of the county. The drawing
to determine the order in which these
men will be called for service, will
be held in Washington probably a
week from today.
The formal date for the drawing has
not as yet been set.

REGISTRATION FALLS
SHORT OF ESTIMATE
Only 234 Alien Enemy Females Had
Presented Themselves at City
Hall Up to Noon Today.


Two hundred and twenty-five alien
females had registered at the City Hall
and nine had registered up to noon
today making a total of two hundred
and thirty-four registrants.
But while they are legally alien enc
my females they are in reality alien
friends, for most of these women come
regretting that their men folks had not
taken the necessary steps to make them
full fledged citizens of the United
States and are willing and anxious to
do anything to make up for the neg
lect of their husbands or fathers.
Nearly all of them are wearing Red
Cross, Patriots Fund, and Liberty Loan
buttons and some are actively engaged
in doing Red Gross work
There are two cases where the faith
ers of two girls did not take out their
naturalization papers until after they
had attained the age Of twenty one
They thought they were American citi-
zens until the President IS order to reg
lister the alien enemy females.
Another case is that of a woman
seventy-four years of age who is SO
energetic she wants to become citi-
zen. Her husband did not complete
his naturalization and now his mental
condition is such that he cannot do it
1t is a question how she can go about
obtaining her papers as citizen when
she is married woman and her
husband is unable mentally to take
out his papers.
While there have been quite a mum
Der of girls in their teens from fourteen
up, yet there have not been as many
of these as there seems there should
and the officials and attendants are
wondering what is the matter.
Then there is shortage of regis
traits. The total registered up to noon
today is two hundred and thirty-four,
with just three more days to go, and
according to the estimate based ON the
numoer of men, this one hundred and
sixty-six short of the four hundred that
it was thought would be registered.
The women who have presented them
selves do not show the slightest resent
ment, They are all not only willing
but anxious to do anything to become
citizens and only regret the negli-
gence Of their men folks.
There is one case in which the family
had one daughter but did not have a
son. He took out his first papers SO
that he could vote himself but did not
think to proceed further to establish
the status Of his daughter.
Promises are being made by many
of the registrants to march in the
Fourth of July parade and to help in
the house to house canvass, if any
be made, hereafter to find any who
have not presented themselves for
registration.

Hermann Gives
Formal Notice Saloons
Can Not Be Opened In
Five Miles of Camp.
TOWN BOARDS ARE ADVISED

Six saloons in Kenosha county OUT
side of the city and being within five
miles of Camp Herring at the Nash
plant, will not be permitted to open
for business after the first of July re-
CARELESS of the action of the town
boards of Pleasant Prairie and Somers
IN granting licenses to these places.
Sheriff Jacob Hermann, acting on the
order of federal officials, has served
formal notices on the owners of such
places that they may not reopen and
he has also served formal notice on
the town boards of the two towns that
the federal government has issued an
order which closes all such places,
outside of incorporated cities, within
FIVE miles of any army camp or
cantonment.
The saloons affected by the order
are Central Park, the place formerly
operated by Joseph Orth, the saloon
which was formerly on the end of Ly-
man avenue in Somers, the Mungen
Tavern, the Schrayer place at Truesdell
and the Pat Devine place in the town
of Pleasant Prairie just south of the
city. None of these places have been
operated during the past year, as the
towns of Somers and Pleasant Prairie
have been dry. It is expected that all
of the places will ask for licenses from
the town board and the warning of
the sheriff is sent out in order to pre-
vent any misunderstanding in the
granting of the licenses.
The federal order has been in the
hands of the sheriff for some time and
of course it is going to be enforced.
1t is improbable that the government
will issue any federal licenses to any Of
these places until the federal order in
regard to their opening has been modi-
fed or rescinded
Sheriff Hermann declared this morn
ing that he had not issued any order
leading up to the closing of the saloons
in the county on Sunday q am hope
full that the men in the county will
follow the lead Of the city saloon men
and close up their places withoat any
formal order" declared the sheriff.
IT don't know what power J would
have to order them to close, but / am
willing to take the matter up with any
interested parties with a view of find
ing the proper solution. I believe that
all people in the county should be
treated alike and that the treatmen
should be fair. Thus far no appeal
has been made to me by any one to
make any change in existing customs
regulating the saloons in the outlying
parts of the county"
1t was declared today that it was
probable that formal request would
be made to the sheriff to demand en-
forcement of the state law providing
for Sunday closing.

once and there was not an arrest in
the city the whole day.
When Oregon went dry seventy
five per cent of the houses of prostitu-
ton closed and seventy-five per cent of
the inmates left for pastures new
where liquor was sold.
"We have fair chance in Wiscon-
sin this year to elect a legislature that
will put the state dry. The liquor men
have got together and are going to
work for referendum vote. They
will not come out squarely and boldly
and fight against the ratification Of
the national amendment, but will fight
for the question to be put up to a vote
of the people. We had a statewide
referendum passed two years ago and
the liquor men caused the governor to
veto it. We would favor referendum
if it were legal, but it is not. Ratifca-
ton by the legislature is the way ur-
der the sun whereby the national
amendment can be legally made into
law. When it is done this way the gov
ernor cannot veto it. But if you elect
a legislature in favor of referring it
to a vote of the people and then pass
a referendum bill the governor can
veto that and you will be left just
where you are now, and that is why
the liquor interests are fighting for the
referendum. Do not vote for man
for the legislature unless he is positively
in favor of the legislature ratifying the
national prohibition amendment

feet by six out in the field which was
near the house and had turned piece

WAS WITH REGULAR Army
Mother Anxious to Hear News of His
Injuries But Ready to Send Second Z
Son for Training for Army
Wounded Man Long in Service

Sergt. Roy Bergstrom of Kenosha has
been severely wounded in the fighting in
France. His mother Mrs. Carrie Berg
strom received cable on Thursday
night telling of the injury of her son
and he is now in one of the bast hospi-
tails in France. Mrs. Bergstrom has
not been advised as to the extent of
the wounds and she is making an eff
| fort to secure further facts from the
war department..
Sergt. Bergstrom was one of the
Kenosha pioneers" in the fighting in
France and he has been with the
American Expeditionary forces in
France since the first of last January
and for some time he has been under
| fire In the trenches. Letters received
from him two weeks ago indicated that
he had been under fire many times and
that the fighting in the sector he was
helping to hold had been very severe.
Bergstrom has been in the army for
more than two years and he was with
the 45th ammunition train of the heavy
Field Artillery, U.S.A. His company
was one of the first to be ordered to
France after the United States entered
the war and this company has been in
service for many months. It has lost
only a small number or men.
II can t say any thing how seriously
Sergt. Bergstrom has been wounded
declared his mother this morning. F'The
cable only brings word that he is in
the base hospital. 1 am hopeful that
he is not seriously wounded and I am
anxiously awaiting some official state
ment from the war department.
Mrs. Bergstrom is real patriot and
she seemed to feel that wounds were a
part of the burden Of war! She made
no complaint that it should have been
the luck of her boy to be one of the
number to be sent back to the rear as
a result of feeling the twinge of the
bullet of the Hun. While she told Of
the wounding of her older son she spoke
| of the fact that second son Hugo
Bergstrom was leaving in a few days
for Washington to prepare himself for
service in the army. The younger
Bergstrom hopes to be able to enter the
West Point Military Academy in the
near future with a view of following
his brother into service.
Sergt. Roy Bergstrom was widely
known to Kenosha people. His name
| is the first Kenosha name to be given
in casualty list from over seas since
the sinking Of the Tuscania.
With many Kenosha men in the
trenches it is feared that the casualty
lists of the near future may carry the
names of other patriotic Kenoshans
who have shown willingness to make
the supreme sacrifice for the nation at
| war.

TO DRAIN CLASS 1 DRY
City Must Send 40 Men on Three
Calls While County Is to Furnish But
Twelve Men in These Calls-First
Kenoshans to Camp Taylor.

-Four hundred and twenty-five men
are called into the military service
from Kenosha county during the month
of July and this is going to make a
terrific crimp in Nthe list of men of
Glass l in the two boards of the county.
The draft officials of the state have
tempered the wind to the shorn lamb
and the Kenosha county board is order
ed to furnish but twenty men for the
four calls slated for July. The city
board must furnish total Of four
hundred and ten men divided as follows:
To be sent to Columbus Barracks,
Ohio, starting July 9Th, sixtyone men /;
to be sent to Columbus Barracks, Ohio,
starting July 18th, s;xty-one men; to
be sent to Camp Taylor, KY, starting
on July 22nd, two hundred and eighty
eight men. No men are called from
Kenosha for the call to Camp Grant on
July 9th and it is not expected that
any such call will be made later.
The county board is called to send
six men to Columbus Barracks on Judy
9Th and the same number July 18th.
In addition the city board must Sc
cure six men to gro to Lewis Institute
for special instruction on July 18th
and eleven men to 60 to the Valparaiso
University on the same day.
While the calls will not take all of
the men in Glass l now registered by
the city board, they will take very
large proportion of the men subject to
service and should the state draft Of
ficials decide TO draw from Kenosha
Glass i men to make up deficiencies
in other boards il the state the
city board will have to give up its
entire list.
The call is featured by the fact that
the men going next month will be the
first sent from Wisconsin to Camp
Zachary Taylor at Louisville, KY.
E. B. and E. F. Marlatt, formerly of
Kenosha, are detailed to the service
of receiving rcrrits by draft at Camp
Taylor and many of the Kenosha men
will be registered by thes two former
Kenoshans for their military service.
Kenosha has considerable num-
Der of men in training at both Column
bus Barracks.
The large calls will mean an in
definite amount of work for the exemp-
tion boards. They must get out the
lists of HUNDREDS of men and the work
of drawing these men in order of the
calls will start at once. It is probable
that the first list of men to go to Column
bust Barracks will be announced by
the last of this week and as soon as is
possible the names of other men will
be given out. It is certain, however,
that all Glass ] men will be called
either to fill up the Kenosha quota or
to fill up the quota of some other board
in the state which finds it impossible
to meet the call. It is not improbable
that some of the men registered under
the Kenosha local city board will be
sent to make up the quotas called
from Kenosha county.
The board is busy just at present get
ting ready to send a small quota to
Chicago on the afternoon of July LIST.
These men will enter the old South
Side High school. Another quota is
also being raised to 60 to Fort Riley
in Kansas.
