ing itself seriously handicapped by a
lack of proper addresses for many of
the soldiers and sailors now somewhere

cordingly it's chairman, G. B. Voorhis,
is sending the following appeal to re-
latives of men in service either here
or cover there
"We are very anxious to keep in
personal touch with every one of our
Kenosha county boys while they are
serving our country and as they are
changing location from time to time
we are experiencing considerable diff
fculty in keeping track of their where
abouts.
"Also some of our boys are en-
listing and leaving from day to day,
whose addresses up TO this time the
Red Cross has been unable to obtain.
''I is important that we have every
Kenosha man s address at all times in
order that we may make provision
from time to time for his comfort and
pleasure.
"We therefore request that the next
of kin or some friend fill out the blanks
in the coupon printed below and send
it to or leave it at the Kenosha Red
Cross Headquarters at the corner of
Main and Wisconsin streets.
"This service will mean more com
forts for the boys out there and less
anxiety for the folks back home in
case Of signal disasters of any kind. :"
To interpret - it is part of the work
of the American Red Cross Association
to trace the movements of the men in
service and from the data so acquired
be able to compile accurate lists of the
" missing 8 following catastrophes at
sea or important action at the front.
To do this they need this original in
formation as working basis and with
it they can prepare their catalogues
and make changes as they may from
time to time be necessary.
The coupon" referred to in Mr..
Voorhis appeal is printed in this edi-
ton of the Evening News. The next
of kin has only to clip it from the pa
per, fill in its blanks. and mail it to
the Red Cross rooms to insure the sol
der or sailor in question adequate at
tention from the local and national

which is now completely organized and
ready for practical work among the
families of men in environments or
trenches.

LITTLE LIFE-sAvERs.
State Director Puelicher Authorizes the,
Establishment of War-savings So
ciety in Every School Room.

Definite steps toward the organiza-
ton of the War Savings Society in ev-
cry class room of every school house
in Wisconsin have been taken by the
committee appointed by State Direct
or j. Fl. Puelicher, of which Mr..
Thomas FL. Boyce of Milwaukee is
chairman.
Mr.. Boyce has sent to every teach
er in the state a personal appeal to
cooperate in this work. The teach
ers have also been supplied with
pamphlets containing the plan Of the
school organization, and with War
Savings manuals which give all the
information required.
Posters especially designed for
school room use have been sent to ev-
cry school room in the state While
the original plan contemplated not less
than ten members for any War Saw
ings Society, it has been decided that
in country schools where the number
Of pupils is small, seven or eight saw
ers may organize society.
The plan of organization contem-
plates the election Of one pupil in the
society as president, and another as
secretary. The teacher will act as
treasurer, receiving the payments and
attending to the delivery of the Thrift
Stamps. Upon the teacher will de-
volve the duty Of receiving the saw
ings of the children in pennies and
other small coins and keeping them
until a sufficient accumulation for the
purchase of a stamp has been made.
It is hoped to have the societies full
ly organized within the next few
weeks.
