EFFICIENCY COURSE
PROVES POPULAR
First Address to be Delivered at
Eagles Hall Instead of G. of @.
Building Because of Attendance.

On account of the great number Of
applications for admission to the open
ing lecture of the efficiency drive, now
being staged in the city, which lecture
was to have been given at the Chamber
of Commerce building on Thursday
evening, the management has been
forced to change the place of meeting
to the Eagles Hall. Secretary Kaiser
of the Chamber of Commerce is urg-
ing pesons who have SO far failed to
send for admission cards, to do so at
once as this is the last day upon which
invitations viii be mailed.
George E. Barber, chief Of the staff
of Emerson Institute, is to deliver the
address on Thursday evening and his
message it is understood will tell how
man can produce more for his firm,
himself and his family. Thirteen weeks
of active work, to give those in charge
of departments as well as the manage
ment of various enterprises in Kenosha
an opportunity to study the science of
efficiency will follow this meeting. A
practical instructor, Capt. P. Fl. SCarno-
bert, will meet once week with those
taking up the work and assist them in
applying the principles of efficiency
to their daily work.
Applications for tickets for the
Thursday evening lecture must be
made to Secretary Kaiser and admis-
sion to the course will be allowed only
to those who present tickets. A repre-
sentative Of the Emerson Institute in
speaking of the campaign said this
morning: "This opportunity has been
brought about by the Chamber Of
Commerce and they deserve much
praise. Tt is one Of the many good
things that stamps the club and Ke-

Germany by which Chancellor Hert-

tanned on the east and Hindenburg
is to be given a free hand, in the
event of German victory, to deal
with any possible annexations on
the west front. This agreement
apparently means that Hertling's
plan for a emo annexations policy
toward Russia are to be carried out
on the northern and eastern fronts
and the Pan-German, militarist
policy of aggran dizement is to rule

Pan-Germans have persistently

MORALE OF THE
SOLDIERS IN
u. 5. EL0WER

Washington, Nov. 15.-Cessation Of
hostilities in Europe and disappear
ance Of the prospect of meeting the
enemy on the battlefield has brought
an immediate loss of morale among
American troops at home that is re-
somewhat alarming. 1t is understood
that steps to deal with the situation
already are being prepared.
More serious are reports by some
commanding officers that their men
are exhibiting tendency to view
themselves as already released from
the strict routine of the camps. Hun
dreds of cases are listed of men who,
having been granted the usual So
hour week end leave, failed to return
to camp on time. These men auto
matically are charged with being
absent without leave" an offense
but slightly less heinous than deser-
ton under military law. Regulations
prescribe capital punishment in fla
grant cases, but the custom has been
to inflict at most, only heavy prison
terms. Il.
The whole question Of how the
morale Of recently inducted soldiers
can be kept up is considered one re-
Quiring serious attention. It is un-
derstood that the first step will be to
ask relatives of soldiers who have
absented themselves to assist the au-
thorities in having them return
promptly to spare the families the
disgrace of having an armed guard
sent, and with view to mitigating
the punishment of the offender.
