SHOWS CALL FOR HELP.
Children in Hearts of the World =
Signify Plight of Many
In France.

The people who saw Hearts of the
World last week, were filed with
great pity over the sorrows and trials
of the three little boys who, having
lost both parents, had to struggle alone
and meet the conditions Of war, That
story was fiction, but it should teach
us a lesson. There are hundreds of
little children in France who are left
absolutely without care or protection.
For the majority of these there is no
good ending, as there is for the three
in the story, who are reunited to a
loving big BROTHER and sister and are
happy forever afterwards. Unless
these orphans of France are helped by
outsiders they are homeless and wand
erers, many of them even left to die.
The Fatherless Children Of France So
ciety is organized to thake care of
such cases. By giving ten cents day
you can save one child for the world.
If you have not already adopted a
French orphan, telephone Mrs. George
Milne and add your name to the al
ready long list of Kenosha's generous
citizens and societies.

KENosHANs TO ENTER SCHOOL
Many Kenosha Boys File Applications
for Students Corps at the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin.

Many Of the Kenosha high school
boys are making an effort to secure
appointments for the Students Corps
which is to be trained at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and numbers on the
list of students applying from Keno
sha are, Earl Randall, William Pur-
nell Adrian Dornbusch, George Craw-
ford and Harold Curtis. The work of
the corps is to start about the first of
October and the young men who are
enlisted for it must be given their re-
lease by the local registration boards.
All applications must be on file with
the university authorities on or before
September 28th. It is expected that

nosha will be enlisted for this special
training for army service.

Young Men Don't Miss
Your Great Chance

Uncle Sam % plan for 100000 men
in France by next year, means that
he is going to require 100000 more
junior officers, and in order to get
them he is going to utilize the half
billion dollar plant of more than three
hundred colleges and universities.
When it was determined to extend
the draft age limits from is to As, it
looked as if all college activities OF
the country would be paralyzed.
But that is where the War Depart
ment came in with it's plans for the
Student Army Training Corps. Young
men who have been going to the three
hundred colleges on the government Is
list will come back to school. this fall as
usual, to be give intensive training to
fit them for army life. Army Offices
will supplement- the regular faculty.
Young men who are twenty will be
given at least three months training;
those Of nineteen viii be trained until
about April /, and those of eighteen
viii be trained until about July /. The
idea is to prepare a reservoir of officer
material preliminary to their being
sent to central officers training camp.
Young men who have had at least q
high school education will be allowed
to enter the colleges for more advanced
training as officers and technical ex-
lperts. Those who show promise win be
kept in college until qualified to
enter a central officers training
school or, to go directly into the army
as technical experts.
Those who are found not to be com
missioned officer material viii be sent
| to a school for non-commissioned
officers, or if they show special tech
meal or mechanical ability will be
sent to detachments where men are
! trained for such work. So they have
| three chances in alto be commission
ed officers, to be non-coms, or to be-
long to a special technical division.
In addition to al this, arrang ements
are going to be made for transferring
from the depot brigades to units.

In Knights Of Columbus Head
quarters in France.

Strangers at home, although next
door neighbors, Rev. Father John w.
Bott and Earl Paulsen, both of Racine,
never met until they registered together
at the same hotel in Paris recently.
Rev. Father Bott, who was formerly
assistant pastor Of st. George IS church
in Kenosha, lived at 1923 Grand ave
nue., Racine, and Earl Paulsen live d.
rectly across the street, 1874. Although
living in houses divided only by street

ice.
The place of meeting was at the
Knights of Columbus headquarters on
the west front. Father Bott had just
registered at the headquarters when
Earl Paulsen came in to register and
as he picked up the pen he noticed
that the man who had just laid it down
had registered not only from his own
home town but from the very street
he lived on and from the house oppo
site to the one in which he lived. Ar
acquaintance speedily followed
