HAEGLE SHOWS PATRIOTISM
President Refuses to Accede to Demands
of Strikers at the Expense of His
Country Twenty Are Discharged
Situation Is Settled.

"Give us meat on Tuesday OF
we will quit. y
This is the unpatriotic demand made
by employees of the Haegle Ice House
at Twin Lakes as result of President
Haegle's attempts to support the
United States government by an OBJ
servance of Meatless Day. Misinform
ed by I. W. w. propagandists and dis
gruntled by the fact that their co
workers in other ice houses at Twin
Lakes were getting meat on Tuesday
the ice cutters have created a near,
Juror with their protests against the &C,
ton of their employer in standing
four-square for Uncle Sam and the
Stars and Stripes.
The embrogio reached a crisis on
Wednesday afternoon when twenty of
the ice men, who have been most active
in fomenting discomfort among their
fellows, were summarily discharged and
shipped post haste to Chicago. Here it
is said federal officials viii investigate
their actions inasmuch as they have
made near-seditious utterances against
the national food administration.
In the face of this alarming opposi.
ton President Haegle has steadfastly
refused to compromise inasmuch as
question of loyalty was involved and
he could not conscientiously and
periodically retract.
"He's shown himself real patriot -
said a prominent resident of Twin
Lakes Thu morning. "In spite of the
fact that he was fighting it alone and
against overwhelming odds, he has
stood his ground and defended his
country with real eloquence. He hash Il

VOLUNTEER "GoEs WEST"
at his Mothers Home Shortly
after Noon ON Sunday.

Webster Harbert, son Of DR.. Helen
Harbert and the youngest volunteer in
Kenosha at the time Of his enlistment
in the Navy last spring, died at his
mother g home on West Main street
shortly after noon ON Sunday His
death was due to congestion Of the
lungs following a severe attack of
pneumonia which failed to moderate I'M
der even the best of care and treat
ment.
The deceased is survived by his
mother, DR.. Helen Harbert, brother,
Frank Harbert, and one sister, Mary
Harbert. All of his near-relatives were
at his bedside at the time Of his death.
Hans Webster Harbert was born in
Kenosha Co. ON June 8, 1900 He spent
his childhood in Kenosha, where he
attended the public schools in various
parts of the city. In later life he was
seEt to Watertown and Racine colleges
where he completed his education. In
the latter school he became confirmed
member OF the Episcopal church and
his membership was later transferred
to st. Matthew g in Keno2ha. In the
spring of 1917 he enlisted in the United
States Navy and went to the Great
Lakes Station for training. He was re-
leased from the service few months
later on account of i'll health.
With those who knew him best Web
ster Harbert was a prime favorite. To
outsiders he assumed an air of bravado
that belied his inner self but to his in
innate acquaintance he was always an
unselfsh, lovable 10y, ready to do any
little kindness that he could. Accord.
ingly his death will be sadly mourned
by his relatives and friends.

LOSE OUT
BY new DECISION

sire to have full citizenship. Previous
to 1906 thousands of papers were issued
to declarants. Many of these people sat
isfed with the fact that at that time
they were given the right to vote on
first papers never paid any more at
tention to fling petitions for citizen
ship believing that their second papers
could be secured at any future time
they might see fit to look after the
matter. Now a lot of these people are
out of line for citizenship. These peo-
pie who have first papers more than
seven years old must get new papers
and then they must wait until the time
comes for them to file petitions for Sc
ccnd papers.
The decision is not surprise. Tt has
been felt for some time that the courts
would tighten up on the methods for
the receiving of citizens in the country
and this Interpretation of the law was
suggested many months ago. At that
time many Of the organizations among
the alien born people of Kenosha made
special efforts to secure the naturliza-
tion Of their members. Scores of petit
tions were brought in as a result of
these drives
There are hundreds of old time re-
sidents all through the county who have
never secured second papers. Many of
them have first papers and they had in
tended to seek second papers at the
approaching Naturalization Days. 1t is
believed that the decision of the court
will have the effect of causing these
people to give up all plans they might
have had to secure citizenship as they
will be unwilling to go through the
work of securing both first and second
papers.
