The problems that agitated Friend
Lardner flower there was the chief
topics of discussion by the Minute Men
back here,' when they stood their
last formation at the Elks Home on
Saturday afternoon. General A. E.
Buckmaster was the officer of the day.
Gracious rather than hard boiled, -
he proved genial host as well as a
diplomatic commander.
A touch of civilian dignity was given
to the affair by the presence of Al.
Meis and j. G. Rhode, theater-managers
who have co-operated splendidly with
the Minute Men in their strenuous
service on the local front.
Immediately after roll-call the Four
Minute-Men and their guests were
marched to the mess-han = meaning,
the private dining room = where ex-
cellent chow" awaited them. And that
wasn't all. They had hardly seated
themselves when an orderly passed out
illuminated documents, properly signed
and countersigned, announcing their
formal discharge from the service and
commencing them in the name of Presi-
dent Wilson for their enthusiasm and
efficiency in holding the home front.
Following mess General Buck
master launched bombardment Of ora
tory that became Immediately both ex-
plosive and effective. Having thanked
the short-time speakers for their
splendid cooperation during the war,
he urged them to express their pref
erenees for somplete discharge or
ifurlough to the reserve.

son was so unfortunate as to be wound
ed severely by bullet from IN enemy
machine gun. Tt was but few mo-
ments passed before he received medi-
cal attention from a first aid man who
was near by at the time of the accident
and then assisted to the rear without
further injury becoming him.
Some weeks after this action took
place notification was placed .efore
me stating that Corporal William Ball
had passed away early morning of No
vember Is, 1918. It might be well to
say that this notification did also state
there were no personal effects found
upon him at his arrival at the hospital.
At Arthur, France, there is a grave
of brave and honorable soldier, which
now has over it a plain wooden cross
with metal marker that reads: Corp.
William Ball, No. 2S405S, Company
sd" 10th Infantry.
With these few lines I offer my deep
est sympathy, I know, myself, how all
that can console you.
If there is any further information
desired in regard to your son, it will be
willingly given. I remain,

Magic Martial Music
Pete Demos Has Come Back Home But
He Still Likes to Fear the Bugle
Calls and Everything.

Pete Demos went to war, learned to
be a good soldier, and was discharged
when the armistice was signed.
But-someway--Wh he came back
to the Elite on Market Square, he
found all the sweets he had. missed so
much out there, but was lost without
the bugle calls, "The Star Spangled
Banner" and everything. According
~ he got busy and drafted a ghost
ly bugle corps.
And now they have magic martial
music at the Elite. A Violano Virtuoso
plays anything and especially patriotic
airs and medleys.
"It's not exactly the same as it was
at Camp Taylor" Pete admitted this
morning, 'tbut it suggests it anyway
and that's all l need to give me the
click, snap and precision I want for
my work back here"
"Then, too,'' he added, emo matter
how rushed I am I IN perfectly happy
when I hear 'reveille' and know
don't gotta get up any more until
I want to-"

ITO TALK OR NOT TO TALK

Chicago, Nov. 18. editor of
the Trib.)- IL have been reading in
the papers the last couple days
about Gen. March going to demo
bilize all the boys and mustard
them out and I haven't no objec-
tion if he does it to the most of
them, but / don t think he should
ought to be in hurry about doing
it to the minute men and I wished
you would use your influence to that
effect.
In the LIST. place do the boys in this
branch of the service want to quit?
How would you feel if you have
been use to talking 4 minutes ev-
cry night without no Interruptions
and then all of sudden you had to
go back to spending your evenings
at home where the best you can hope
for is a couple of words in success
sion if you talk fast9
In the I'd. place how about the
wifes9 Suppose you was l of them
and had been married to / bird for
10 or IL yrs. and you was thinking
about sewing for a bill of divorce
on the grounds Of monotony and
then along would come godsend
like the war and he joined the 4
minute men and the only time you
had to see him was when he comes
home to change his collar and you
was just beginning to enjoy life
again when the war busted on you
and the govt. released him back at
you.

Watch Out!''
Kenosha Housewives are Warned to
Pay Income Tax for Any Alien
Maids Employed bY Them.

And the income tax collector will
get you if you don It watch out -
This is the warning issued today to
Kenosha housewives who may have in
their employ as housemaids any alien
young women. The employer in all of
these instances must retain from the
salary of the employee enough money to
pay taxes, not only On the current year,
but in the event that the girl has
worked for several years, on her in
come since 1913.
For instance said one of the col
lectors this morning, eff there happens
to be a woman in Kenosha who is en-
ploying Swedish maid-or any other
alien--in her home she must paw one
per cent tax on the wages earned by the
girl in 1913 and 1914, two per cent on
what she earned in 1915, 1916 and 1917
and eight per cent of her wages in 1918.
The employer is held responsible for
the tax and must retain it from the
aliens pay.
Kenoha housewives who are in doubt
about the nationality of their maids
should learn Immediately whether any
Of them are aliens and if they to take
proper steps to pay the tax The gov
eminent has list of all aliens in the
city and as soon as the day for settle
ment arrive will start drive to round
up the tax.
It is suggested that the easiest way
out of the dilemma is to persuade any
alien employees in the homes to take
out citizenship papers just as employees
of the factories are doing in this city.

DROPPEDBY EUROPE
Great Britain Now the Only
Country To Restrict
Travel

NEW YORK. Sept 1s.-Passport ap-
plications will be received at the local
office Of the passport bureau from per
sons who desire to visit Europe for
purposes Of travel and recreation.
Passports for this purpose will be is
sued after October !, 1t was said yes
terday. TO all European countries with
the exception Of England.
Travellers to that country must still
be able to convince the Department OF
State that their visit is necessary for
pressing business or family reasons,
but the desire Of Americans to see the
battlefields Of France, Flanders, and
Italy may be gratiied at once il they
can obtain steamer accommodations.
No reason has been given for the con-
tinued prohibition on travel to Great
Britain, but it was intimated that the
English government does not desire
an influx Of travellers until the food
and labor situation in that country ia
somewhat eased. Ireland Is not in
cluded in the prohibition against Wis
itinE Great Britain.
