BOYS DREAD OPEN WARFARE
Have Greatest Dread Of Shrapnel and
High Explosives of All the Many
Different Kinds of Weapons
Being Used.

Thousands Of letters daily to loved
ones over here from the soldier boys
over there bring the awful reality of
the cruel war which is devastating Eu-
rope nearer and nearer to the firesides
of the patriotic homes in Wisconsin.
A better realization of what war
really is comes to one when<he reads
these letters written by son, a bro
Their, or sweetheart, who has done
service in the trenches and who has
barely escaped with his life. When
Sherman made his famous remark on
what war is, there were thousands upon
thousands of patriotic Americans who
had not the faintest idea what he
meant. When he said "War is hell, !"
Sherman used such familiar cuss word
that it was almost meaningless to the
majority of persons who had been ac-
customed to applying that epithet to
nearly everything that did not please
them. But since this war has been
i'll progress there is hardly family
in the country who does not know by
this time that war is really hell, but
they have a far better realization of
what hell is from its being compared
to war and many in using the term feel
like apologizing to hell for the com
parison.
The last letter to reach the office of
the Kenosha Evening News is from
Ralph Peters, of Milwaukee, to his
mother, Mrs. B. T. Peterss of that city.
Mrs. Peters, before her marriage, was
Miss Lizzie Zweenie,- of Kenosha.. Mrs.
Peters is graduate of the Kenosha
high school and is sister of Charles
Zweenic, of the Kenosha Evening
News. Ralph enlisted in the marines
in May, 1917, and was sent to Paris
Island training camp. In September
he was sent over to France and while
there has been engaged in some of the
most sanguinary engagements on the
west front. In his letter to his mother
he says:
"Dear Mother: 1T am writing you
again but under little better circum-
stances, not quite so near to fire as
through and seen some awful times
these last three weeks. 1t is really
surprising how many Of us came out OF
what you might call hell with our lives.
We surely made the enemy pay well
for the damage they inflicted upon US,
and will do so every time when we
enter the line again.
"The people in the States can little
imagine what the boys are going
through for we did not know what war
was ourselves until we entered this
latest battle Trench warfare does not
start to compare with our modern open
warfare. In fighting from trenches
one is protected most of the time from
artillery fire. But not so in this case,
it is just the opposite.
elm open warfare one charges ma
chine-gun fire, rifle fire, and also the
artillery, both light and heavy. 1t is
not the machine gun fire with its 400
or 500 rounds minute being fired at
YOU from hundreds of machine guns
that the fellows dread, but it is the
bursting shrapnel and high explosives
from the big guns that are hard to con-
tend with Then again, shrapnel or
high explosives cause such ragged
wounds, so much more serious than a
machine-gun or rifle wound, with 100
per cent less chance of pulling through
either

FIRST MARKET DAY
HAS SMALL CROWD
Grounds This Morning But They
Sold Out AL Their Stuff.

Only few wagons took advantage
of the opening day of the public mar
Let on the continuation school grounds
at the corner of Dayton and Pleasant
streets this morning. Neither was the
crowd of buyers very large. This was
no doubt due to the rain. How
ever, as IA as can be learned,
there is no ground for complaint, for
while there were just few wagons,
four in all, it is understood that they
all sold out what they brought. The
next market day will be on Thursday
at the same place when it is thought
there will be better weather, more
sellers and more purchasers.

Relation of Surplus Jobs to Taxes

To the Editor Of the EreHin1 Public Ledger.
Sir-In his zeal to salvage Hog Island and
other tenants from the unconscionable rent
gougers Congressman Darrow neglected to
try to save property owners from tax goug-
ing. The raising of the tax rate will virtu-
ally amount to the sequestraton of property
unless a prompt halt is called. In the rent
gouge 1t is case of supply and demand of
tenants, many Of the incoming ones Offering
owners interesting terms. In the tax gouge,
according to the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
articles on the subject, it is case of an over
supply y'of jobholders and demand that they
be billeted on the public. A landlord is an
interesting character to an eager tenant but
our jobholders are of no use, in thousands of
cases, except to draw salaries from oyertsxed
property owners.
1t may come about through these troubles
that tenants will discover that they hays a
vital interest in city affairs. If taxes in this
city go up solely for jobhoding purposes
rents must mount with them or else the
sheriff will be swamped with business. The
75-cent raise of taxes in this city made
rent raising inevitable. The tax rate raise
was decided on before the Hog Island in
Vasion. We welcome them but we look
askance at the tax gougers who made the
rent gouge necessity. 1t will be some time
before there are houses enough to supply the
demand for them, but the tax gougers will
Keep ahead of both supply and demand of
homes. TAX-GOIrGE,D

The Coal Situation Muddle

To the Editor Of the EUening Public Ledger:
Sir-four editorial "A Schwab of Coal
Mining Needed" in today's issue is a solid
block of common sense.
Some one 'hitched the wagon before the
horse to draw the vital load of coal prob
lens and the thing hasn't gone" since the
blunder was made. Nor will II go until the
methods are radically changed
l urge you to pry into this subject and
treat 1t editorialy until, perhaps steps are
taken 10, find a practical coal man for the
job. Permit me to make one suggestion
however. You concern yourselves with the
anthracite situation alone the bituminous
field is in equally bad condition and "A
Schwab OF Coal Mining" is indeed needed
to prevent further confusion and to stimu-
late production Virtually nothing has been
done to get out more coal some few things
have been done to prevent it, however I
have in mind at this moment a man who is
ready to ship from a new mine he is tightly
bound up In red tape and absolutely nothing
has been done by the fuel administration to
help him get started. No. / haven't an in
terest, direct indirect, in this property.
But / am vitality interested in seeing sane
steps taken to produce more coal at this
critical time. H. j. QUINN

AREN,T WE PROUD OF OURSELVES?

nRESIDENT SWAIN, of Swarthmore
y College, told the National Education
Association, in session at Pittsburgh, that
the nation is threatened with the collapse
OF a necessary profession.
Unless something is done to make teach
ing more attractive to capable women ana
men, and especially unless the standard
OF pay is raised the time will come when
the children must suffer from lack Of
proper instruction.
Is President Swain pessimistic?
Let us see. Philadelphia pays the scrub
women in the City Hall $500 a year.
1t pays the school teachers in the lower
grades during their first years of service
the same sum. The teachers have to be
high school graduates, with subsequent
professional training.
It pays common laborers $3.50 year and
the street cleaning contractors pay the
men who sweep the pavement at the mini
mum rate of $1,000
But who cares what the teachers get?
\ They are not part of political machine.
yThere seems to be justification for Doctor
SWANS remarks.
