NEED sCoUTMAsTERs.
Three Vacancies in Ranks Caused by
Enlistment in the Army and Navy
of Former Officials.

Kenosha Boy Scouts are getting to
be very much in need of good scout
masters owing to the fact that SO
many of the troop scoutmasters of the
city are enlisting in the army and
navy.
Three scoutnfasters have enlisted in
the army service within the last few
weeks. They are William Meyer,
Troop Z, who went to Camp Taylor
with the squad sent there a few weeks
ago. Another is Ward Quinn, assistant
scoutmaster Of Troop 2, who enlisted
in the Coast Artillery and is now at
Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. The
third man is Lester Siedschlag, scout
master of Troop 9, who enlisted in the
navy.
These were all good scoutmasters
and had their troops up to the stand
ard when they left and the right kind
of material has not presented itself
for their successors.

Chester Isermann Writes Of
His Gratitude for the In
terest Shown in the Men
In Uniform.
SAYS kENOSHA IS IN LEAD
Kenosha Boy Declares That Men in the
Service Consider Kenosha the Most
Hospitable Spot on the Map for
Men in the Army or Navy.

Kenosha women who have been aid
ing in entertaining the sailors of the
navy in the city may feel proud Of a
letter which has been received from
Chester Isermann, son of former Fire
Chief, the late Henry Isermann who
declares that Kenosha has offered a
hospitality to the men in service which
is not excelled by any city in the ma
tion "Chetp Isermann is quarter
master aboard the u. S. S. Tuscorora
and he recently spent ten day fur
Tough in his old home town. He has
|sent "bread and butter letter back
to the News telling of his appreciation
of the many kindnesses shown to him
and other enlisted men in the navy.
1t is letter that should bring a feel
ing Of pride to the good women of
Kenosha who have felt that one of the
real ways to help in winning the war
was to make the men in service appre-
ciate that the people at large be-
lieved in them and appreciated their
services. In his letter Quartermaster
Isermann says:
just line from a e-jacket do
ing duty on the East coast to let you
know what / think of Kenosha S treat
ment of sailors and soldiers
For nearly a year / have been on
this coast and during that time I have
been in a great many different places
and consequently have had the oppor-
tunity to visit many Red Cross can
teens, War Community Service Clubs,
Y. M. G. A., huts and other similar
places but can t say that / ever was
in one that would compare with the
Red Cross canteen in my own home
town, Kenosha. I just returned to my
ship a few days ago who does not know a
man on board who does not know about
the good treatment Of men in uniform at
Kenosha. 1 certainly did enjoy the
ten day furlough [ spent at home and
it sure did show me the difference in
treatment Of a sailor in the east and
sailor in the middle west
The praise for Kenosha given by
Chef Isermann is being echoed by men
In the service all over the country. Ke-
nosha women may feel proud Of this
contribution that they are making to
the comfort of Uncle Sam Is men in
uniform.

marine Chaser, Writes of Excit-
ing Incidents of the Coast

Dear Folks:-I was second officer on
Submarine Chaser No. 1877 operating
off the coast of Virginia, On Sunday
night, August 18th at 1850 D. M, lust
as I was preparing to go on watch at
midnight our boat was rammed BY a
Norwegian tramp steamer. Immedi-
ately all Of our lights went out and
the tramp thinking they had hit a
submarine, refused to even give US
light. It was pitch dark, and realiz-
ing that the situation was very serious
I jumped overheard, swan to the tramp
and luckily caught a rope with which
[ pulled myself up 25 feet to the deck.
AS soon as the tramp saw my uniform
they let down boats, took us on board,
gave thesmen clothes, and later trans
ferred us to Chaser No. POI, which
took US to Norfolk. Our boat sank
within Is minutes. I am now here
buying clothes, etc, for the men and
will be ready in q day or 50 to resume
our hunt of the Subs It's a CAV life.
Write me a letter. Love to all.

Wednesday Nearly all the women s
papers / have seen this week have spe-
clal American numbers. Lots Of them
have pictures of American women who
are doing important war work over
here and it certainly makes you proud
to see what a good looking lot they are.
But we expect them to be something
rather choice because nearly every one
Is married to a great big title and ev-
erybody at home knows what that
means. But they are down at hard
work now alright. We ,dined out to-
night (vegetarian) and Z recognized
several. Now the. days are so long
lets Of them go back to work IN the
evening like the Foreign Office and the
Ministry of Munitions people, and
those are the women that you see in
the restaurants and cafes for dinner,
dining out because it takes too long
to go home.

A HOME DIARY oVER THERE.

London, July 20 (by malD
Monday Over here Monday is not
wash day but the day you wish to good
ness it was. OF all the problems that
beset wartime housekeepers this wash
ing business is really the most serious
And its not only so for US, either. In
fact | guess its really worse for the
people who live round in hotels be-
cause at a pinch we can do the job our
selves whereas next winter, with hot
water luxury, soap rarity and no
service, people on the loose will have
to take to paper clothes or something
that doesn t need washing. It's three
weeks now that our laundry man has
not come for the fiat work. We have
done the rest in the house. Soap, the
commonest kitchen brand, costs twenty
cents pound, and is as green as any
thing. You can't buy over certain
amount, depending upon the number
in your family, so you don't get a
chance to let it dry out. And every
now and then they tell US we may not
be able to get toilet soaps any longer
so we are kept wondering how long we
shall be able to keep nice and clean.

Tuesday Every woman in London
has spent about three hours this week
getting her family food coupon books
Ian signed and numbered and registered
at her favorite shops. The new ration
books are very neat and the best pos
sible memoriam to poor Lord Rhonnda
who has died just when the country
was beginning to appreciate his big
work and honor him In the best way
the English know how, that is by stop
ping grumbling at him. When you re-
member the awful meat and bread and
sugar queues of last November, the
real hunger and want that was so
near to US, conditions today look most
like a miracle. For no matter how
much food was sent over here from
America, no matter how we deprived
ourselves and saved and scrimped at
home, if few food hogs and pro-
fteers had got hold of it the English
people would have starved and no mis-
take. Now that we share and share
alike nobody minds, nobody complains.
The ration books contain leaves of diff
ferent colors, red for meat, pink for
sugar, blue for butter and margarine
and brown for lard. Four meat cou-
pons today enabled me to buy a little
piece of round steak about a pound
and half that has to be well pounded
before it can be eaten; if I want
lump Of suet to lard it with I have
to hand over another coupon. Each
lperson has four meat coupons a week
but only three can be used for what
they call butcher s meat; that is,
fresh meat. But of course it ism t
fresh, its all frozen and has to be
used instantly for the minute the cold
leaves it, it just naturally falls to
pieces. The third coupon is for ham,
bacon, poultry and game, or you can
use the fresh meat coupons for other
meats if you like. Just now there is
an abundance Of bacon and ham,
thanks to you at home, and people are
being able to buy a certain amount of
it without any coupons at all. So
wherever you go at meal time a fine big
ham is trolled out and the woman Of
the house looks that pleased with her
self! / bought ham on Friday and
paid $500 for it. We had it hot for
dinner that night in tissue paper
slices. Of course there weren It any
sweet potatoes to go with it but we
had boiled potatoes and peas. On
Saturday noon we had little of it
minced, Saturday night we had cold
ham and salad. Everyone was tickled
| to death when some American friends
of ours who live in the country invited
us to spend Sunday with them. It be-
gan to rain Sunday morning but we de-
cided We had better go for change of
diet. hadn t prepared for Sunday
dinner. So we went, of course. and
for dinner on came a beautiful big
ham, cTisply crumbed and fanked by
potatoes and peas. It looked fine and
we loved it because it WASH t our own
ham anyhow. We stayed for supper
and the ham was served cold on the
sideboard Then we came home and
for breakfast Monday morning we
had ham, at noon, ham in cress sand
wiches at night in patties, and there s
an awful lot left I've got to camou-
fage somehow,
