u. R. YOUNG GOING TOO
Three Men Called from Evening News
Office in One Day Bringing Total
Stars in Service Flag Up to Ten
Leave for Service Wednesday.

The Kenosha Evening News adds
two more stars to the fields Of its
service flag this week when Ernest r.
Marlatt, city editor, and Earl B. Mar
Iatt, associate editor, Of the News,
leave on Wednesday for Rushyille, In
diana, TO answer the call to the colors.
Both Of them received the familiar
letters from the President on Sunday.
They started out "greeting'' and de-
clared that they had been called for
service with the quota of Indiana Sc
lected men which leaves Rushville on
next Saturday morning FOR Camp Tay-
Tor at Louisville, KY.
Ever since the days they travelled
in the Hstork basket" some twenty
six years ago, they have been accus-
toned to do things together and when
the government called Earl Marlatt
along with other selected men Ernest
notified the adjutant general of Indiana
that it had been accustomed for the
name TO go twice wherever it went once
and after considerable manipulation
the adjutant general recognized his
claim and the board at the Indiana
city was instructed to induct him into
service right along with his brother.
1T is the second start that the two
KenOsha News writer's have made for
the army. A long while ago when the
government sent out call for men for
the officers reserve training camps,
both Earl and Ernest Marlatt were
among the first to be enrolled at Camp
Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, as appli-
cants for places on the roll of officers.
They failed at this time to pass the
medical examination and afterwards
came to Kenosha and began their work
as newspaper men.
They have been very active as work
ers in the second line trenches in Ke-
nosha. Ernest Marlatt is sergeant
in me Kenosha Provisional Battalion
and he has had a lot to do with the
work of recruiting. He served as pub
Lefty agent for both Company M and
Troop r when these two organizations
were being recruited into service in
Kenosha and has been the active corr
respondent in Kenosha for the mem
bers Of the two companies. Earl b.
Marlatt started his work for the gov
eminent at Rushvillt as an organizer
for the Red Cross. He was one of the
first organizers for the Red Cross in
Kenosha county. He was one of the
charter members of the Kenosha Four
Minute-Men squad and has been a
speaker at the theatres in Kenosha
along many lines of publicity work for
the government at war. He has been
in charge of the publicity work of the
local committee in charge of the sale Of
the Third Liberty Loan bond issue.
The fNews Reportial Force is
carrying to camp q lot of enthusiasm
for war and they are ready to serve
in whatever capacity the government
sees fit to place them.
The leaving of the Marlatt boys
marks the sending of the second
Ftwins" from Kenosha to take part
in the great battle for world wide de-
mocracy. Joseph and Francis Wells,
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Wells, left
some time ago and they are now land.
ing somewhere "over there"
With the departure of these two
News writer's for the front ten stars
will have been placed in the service
flag of the News since the first of
last November.
Halbert R. Young, who is in the
business Office of the Evening News,
was the third man of the force to get
a call of service today. He received
notice that he had been accepted as
student for the ordnance school
which opens at Northwestern Univer-
sity on May 9th and he is to at once
apply to the local board for induction
into service. This school prepares
men for. the ordnance department
and they are to be ready for service
within six weeks.
Mr.. Young is widely known to Ke-
nosha and has been very actively con-
nected with the printing trade in the
city for the past eight years. It is
probable that he will leave for the
south to prepare for his work the lat
ter part of the week. His first call is
to Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, where he
will pass the physical examinations and
be optftted before entering North
western University school.
The list of men from the News office
now serving or about to serve in Uncle
Sam IS army, include: Fred r. Bahr, D.
G. Jorison, Walter Mellick, E. B. Hard
ing, Henry Mueller, George Blakeley,
Joseph Drozeski, Ernest f. Marlatt,
Earl B. Marlatt and Halbert R. Young.
The News takes a pardonable pride
in its being able to give this number
Of men to the army.
