SIXTH WARD LEADS INCREASE
Although the Increase Is Not as Large
AS Had Been Expected Officials Ex-
pect Usual Number of New Faces
at School Tuesday Morning.

The school census Of Kenosha., figures
on which were available today, shows
that the growth Of .Kenosha during
the past year has not been as large as
many people have expected and the
increase In the number of children of
school age indicates that the population
| of the city has increased by about
fifteen hundred since the last census
was made. The report of the census
taker shows total Of 9161 children Of
school age-between the ages of four
and twenty years. This is an increase
of 361 over the figures returned by the
census takers in 1917. It had been
| Expected that the final report of the

been a slight growth in the number
of children of school age in al parts

year there has been a decided shift
in population. While scores of new
families have been added to the school
LISTS q large number of families
have moved from the city and re-
moved to other states.
| Experts in population have raised
the question in regard to the use of
the old ratio Of three and half peo-
lple for each school child, holding that
during the last year there has been a
very large number Of young men
and young married men who have
come to Kenosha to accept positions
| in local factories.

cate that the present population of
Kenosha is 32,063.
| The report shows that the number
of children of compulsory school age
lin the city between the ages of seven
and fourteen-is 4,441. This is con
siderably less than the actual enroll
ment In the public schools last year to
say nothing Of the large number of
children who are being educated by
the parochial schools of the city.
The largest increase in the number
lof school children has been made in
1.-THE sixth ward where an increase Of
lightweight children is reported The
second ward is second with an increase
tof siyty-seven. The third ward re.
IItains its commanding place of leading

STILL ONE OF THEM i'm LIBERTY'S name
Memorial Day Finds the Nation
Battling for Freedom of the
Whole World.

M AMoRIAI. DAY was born of a
vlv war fought that this nation, I'M
der God, should have a new
birth of freedom, and that government
OF the people. for the people and by
the people shall not perish from the
EARTH"
A half a century and more has
passed since that immortal utterance.
Now the nation Is again in arms, to
fight that "the world may be made
safe for democracy"
Then, the young republic, struggling
upward toward its vision of freedom,
learned through the bitter travail of
Civil war that the nation could not
exist half slave and half free. The
vision has broadened with the wild
ening years. Then 1t was for the free
dom of race the nation fought. Now
the sword is drawn for the imperiled
liberty Of the world.
The natal day Of our independence
we have been wont to celebrate with
loud acclaim and Wanting pride, Me-
mortal day ever has been our time for
solemn contemplation. Another Me-
mortal day is at hand, and as America
lays its flowers on the graves Of its
soldier dead, it hears again that re-
vered voice from the slopes Of Get
tysburg bidding us to be not unmind.
full that ut is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us, that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the
last full measure Of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain."
A beautiful, poetic symbolism
Memorial day had come to be to US:
The people who walk with slow steps
in the quiet cemeteries, the children
in their white dresses who with loving
hands place wreaths "alike for the
friend and the foe," the venerable men
who are the links that bind us to an
age long gone, and, as we believed, for
ever gone, when nation warrea with
nation and blood lust grew in hearts
that had thrilled at the sight of the
same flag.
And now with what new and sud-
den significance has Memorial day been
vested. With what different thought
will they 60 lovingly laden with flow
ers." How much more reverently
than in those conventional days that
already seem so far away will the lit
tie flags be planted on each patriot
mound. And who is there, when taps,
clear and soft as q benediction, Is
sounded for those who dream of bat.
tlefields no more" will not remember
that on q neighboring hill on the NOR"
row from that same silvery bugle will
leap the reveille for another genera
ton of freedoms soldiers?
If solemn memories of the past and
earnest thought for the future bring
that new birth Of freedom, who shall
say that those have died in vain for
whom flowers will be spread in far
Memorial days to come?

The Heroic Dead.

And so Memorial day is here again,
and we lift up our eyes and behold the
hosts gathering all over this land and
marching to the cemeteries. They are
bringing flowers-wreaths and pillows
and crosses. These are tokens Of q
nations love and emblems of a ma
TONS gratitude. We honor the North
ern and the Southern dead today, and
with one hand put wreath on the
Federal, while with the other we put
a similar wreath on the Confederate
graves.-Christian Advocate.

It was who could speak TO me Of the
French army in Algeria in 1910 and of
the memories left by my family in that
country. He did so In terms which
deeply touched the heart of the exile,

had participated In one Of those cam

brought out strongly the merits Of the
French soldier. He had also associated
himself with the triumphs OF france

Those candidates, opposing present
office holders, whose loyalty has been
proven, by their records in and out of
office, especially since WEI entered
this war; are the most avowed pro-
Germans and traitors. They are caus-
ing internal strife by trivial differ
ences. Their opinions, merely mer-
cenary and personal, are causing a
sentiment, bordering on a revolution.
Any effort to seriously divide the
American people at this time is an
act Of treason. Such confusionists
should be publicly denounced by a
vote for the present incumbents or
loyal opponents. The Star has said
