Mayor Joachim is said to have in
formed the saloon men of the city that
regulations which prevailed under the
last administration would not be light
ened one whit. Evidently the new
Mayor can see that the people are not
i'll favor of any less stringent regula-
tions. Some of the saloon men would
welcome more stringent regulations.

School boy farmers are not any too
numerous in Kenosha. With the large
school population Of this city there
should be at least a hundred of the
boys patriotic enough to go to the
farms for the vacation period Boys
working on the farm is like buying
liberty bonds. It Is not only helping
out the nation but its also helping out
the boys.

And in these days of clean ups why
not get that fusher out and see to it
that every paved street in the city is
cleaned and cleaned thoroughly. With
the winds blowing as they do in April
it is mighty good thing to have the
filth of winter washed off the streets
and into the sewers.

We agree with at least one thing that
Mayor Joachim said in his inaugural
and that is that winning the W ~ is
the biggest thing we have to do now.
We also believe that it is the most
necessary thing. IF Mayor Joachim
is just as helpful along these lines as
former Mayor Pfennig he will have
done his full duty.

Just paste it down in your book that

Those. leaders of the Socialist and
class in Germany who agreed
to the slaughter Of 100000 men to
make the offensive on the western

thought the sacrifice a little heavy.

Under authorization by the Red

Of the report to the American people
concerning the use being made of the
Rcd Cross War Fund was made public
yesterday.
The report covers activities in
Switzerland, from where American SOL
dlers in German prison camps are
cared for. 1t shows an expenditure to
May l, 1913, of 5000 900, consisting of a
git OF S125,000 to the Swiss Red Cross
and donation of $4,000 to assist the
o"lss government in caring for in
termed Russians. The appropriation
lor eight months from May l to De-
cember l, 1913, totals s1,972, ,233.75.
IN part the report reads:
AS showing the great need Of relief
WORK among the refugees who seek
safety and comfort in Switzerland, to
say nothing of the work for the SOL
dlers, the following from the report
made by the Deputy Red Cross Com
missioner for Switzerland on June 20
Will be most enlightening:
spent Tuesday, June 25, at Basle
on the German-Swiss frontier, the
point at which all the evacuees from
NortnerR France enter Switzerland.
There are two trains per day bringing
IN total OF 1900 civilians, who are
IN varying conditions of distress. Thev
consist principally of women and young
chlldren and old men and women.
Most of them have walked miles
to the train, their feet are badly
swollen in good many instances, and
they carry all their worldly pos
sessions in their hands. The food thev
eat is furnished by the Swiss govern
ment and all their necessities are fur
nished by charity
The care of the returning Allied
prisoners is even more imperative.
1hcy arc in worse condition than the
civilians. and the very minute that the
United States entered the war it was
rcssible from the Condition " Of tbess "ss
prisoners to predict the great need
that was bound to arise, not only in
caring for American prisoners who
rlght be returned, but in providing for
the American soldiers who might be
captured by the enemy and held in
German prison camps.
Great storehouses were established
II three places in Switzerland with a
supplementary storchouse at Copen-
E&gen, Denmark, into which stores be-
gan to be gathered. Supplies We're sent
from tie United States and carried to
Switzerland by southern route.
These supplies consist of every
thlng that men IN their condition might
need. There is food enough to furnish
them three square meals a day There
IS clothing and material to make cloth
ing both for the officers and men.
There arc dainties for the sick and
comforts for the suffering, There are
pipes and tobacco and cirgarcttes and
chocolate and combs and shaving out
fits, and every and anything that
might tighten the Imprisonment of our
boys in German hands.

work amounts to SI75OOO z"
