SOLDIER TELLS STORIES
Kenosha Sergeant Gives Interesting
Account of His Service in France
Praises Red Gross and ''Y'' for
Splendid Work lover There.

Sgt. Lewis Turner has officially re-
turned from the war. The official part
of it came Tuesday noon when the Kc-
nosha Retailers gave a dinner at the
Elks Club in honor of the returned SOL
der, who had placed a star in the SER
vice flag of the organization. Thirty
members Of the organization were
present at the dinner in the Pompeian
Boom and heard the story with which
Sgt. Turner responded to the compli-
mentary dinner.
The speaker modestly disclaimed any
credit for real front line service in
France. He declared that it had been
his bad luck to be stopped just on the
edge Of the firing line three times and
to be returned to the casuals camp to
await further orders. The fact that
he did not get in the big fight did not
keep him from having several inter
esting experiences which he related to
the members at the Tuesday meet
ing.
In the first place "Lewie' was a
motorcycle driver and had the de-
ightful experience Of riding on French
military roads in the blackness of
night. fThe least of our worries was
lodging the Shells said the Kenoshan
in regard to one time when he got with
in sound Of the lines. eve did all
our travelling at night without the sign
of a light and as the roads were pit
ted with shell holes we might find our
selves overturned about any minute.
The best we could do was to dodge the
extra heavy shadow usually I got
through that way.
Sgt. Turner also told how he along
with several thousand other Americans
were packed like sardines in little
convoy to carry them across the British
Channel. They were sleeping on the
decks during that eventfu1 night when
the guard passed through and announc-
ed that Gin case they were torpedoed
everyone was to jump" sfThen what
do we dog0 was the significant inquiry
of one of the soldiers according to the
Kenosha soldier. The transport land
ed safely, however, and all the Ke-
nosha sergeant lost was the night s
sleep.
The Red Cross and the ttY'' came
in for their share Of praise from Ser
geant Turner. He declared that they
were on the job constantly and that
American soldiers would have been
sadly "out of 1ucko without their
guidance. He said that he had abso-
lutely no complaint to make of what he
saw tower there and that he could
not understand the rumors Of mis-
management which are rampant in this
country.

SOLDIER WOUNDED
AT THE ARGONNE

Private Tony Pelligrino, brother
Of Louis Pelligrino, 9 Victoria street,
was wounded in the left forearm on the
next to last day of the fighting on the
western front according to an official
notification received by his brother to-
day from the War Department. The
letter says that the Kenosha soldier
is being treated in Base Hospital No.
50 of the American Expeditionary
Forces and that his wound is not serious.
Pvt. Pellegrino was known to be
with the American forces in the Ar
gonne sector and his relatives have
assumed that he was wounded in the
fighting there. He left Kenosha in
March for Camp Grant and the last
word which had been heard from him
was the report that he had arrived safe
" overseas. His brother has cabled
overseas in an attempt to learn of his
FORTUNES but the letter today from the
War Department is the first news which
he has been able to gain.
Tony Pellegrino before leaving for
the war was an employee of the Black
Cat Textiles Company and had many
friends in Kenosha.

The navy is "the life" according to
the report of Casimir Rochnowski, a
Kenosha boy now aboard the U. S. S.

to his relatives in Kenosha. The sailor
says that he is having the time of his
life and is getting paid for it. He has
just finished q marvellous cruise through
the Panama Canal where he has had
a chance to see the Atlantic and then
sail across the Pacific to Honolulu.
Interesting excerpts from his letter
they sound almost like a recruiting
story for the navy-are given below:
81 suppose you dom know where
your big brother has been and what he
has seen in the last month. To tell the
truth I couldn t explain all as it would
take me month to tell. I've had
one of the longest, fastest, and most
exciting trips you could imagine. We
ended up at Guantanamo BAY, Cuba,
but left there on the 25ts aid now
we're here. Say this is some place

Hoola Hoolag Well, when come home
this time TIL have lots more to tell you.
I'm going to put in for leave as soon
as we get back to the states, which
will be in April or May, so stand by,
as I'm after that strawberry short
cake, etc.
Is it cold in Kenosha? Tell me
about the weather and make it cold
as it sure is hot here. I'd give $1,000
for a glass of ice water.
We are now in the bay-Guantanam
Bay. There are about 90 destroyers in

tice / have seen the MORO Castle,
near San Salvador, right where we
captured the Spanish feet, and the
very spot where ships were sunk. On
our trip from Guantanamo Bay we pass

looked very pretty as we were on slow
speed at 5 knots OF 61a per hour-but
give me the states all the time. This

ON Tuesday afternoon when the jun
Tors in the Nurses Training School
gave Valentine Luncheon for the
Seniors and the wives of the directors.
The affair was perfectly charmingu
from the first good-afternoons to
the last congratulations and "good-

served furnished the chief diversion for
the party. Thereafter an enjoyable
social half-hour concluded the festivi-

Birdrnen Here Soon
Navy Aviators May Circle Over Keno
sha as Soon as Spring Brings
Added Sunshine.

z Residents of the lake shore, between
Chicago and Milwaukee are to witness
some wonderful exhibition flights in a
few days. AS soon as the weather
gets warm enough to climb to the
height that is necessary for trick fly
ing, three aviators fresh from Pensa-
cola are going to mount the air and do
some stunts with the big seaplanes that
will thrill residents of Lake Forest,
Waukegan, Zion City, Kenosha, Racine,
Milwaukee and Chicago. They can do
any stunt in their seaplanes that can
be done with the hghtsarm machines,
and they come from one of the best fly
ing training stations in the world.
Ensign T. r. Appellate is said to
be marvel in the air. He does I'm
melman turns, stalls, falling leaf, wing
over wing, tail spins, and side slips
with as much ease as one would sit
down to eat breakfast. He can do
anything with the seaplane that the
army flyer can do with the light army
machine. These flyers have demon
strated that the navy flyers can hold
their own with the army machines any
day.
Yesterday afternoon Ensign F. r.
Whitmore and Ensign J. G. Eames
were in the air for As minutes. To
make flight in the middle Of Feb
ruary was considered a wonderful
feat. The air, however was extremely
bumpy and dangerous.
Lieutenant Commander Hugh Allen
is planning in giving his aviators ev-
cry opportunity to make exhibition
flights in order to stimulate interest in
aviation.

Charles Pacini this morning when he
was being interviewed in regard to a
rumor that the building of his new
theatre would some day close the doors

You see, /" he continued, "the Males
tic was my first love- in this theatre
business and it doesn t make s.ny diff
ference how large or how small the
new theatre is going to be, the Males
tic is here TO stay Then he proceed
ed to tell how the same high attrac-
lions would be billed at the Main street
movie shrine and that the same policy
would be maintained. He said that
Improvements in time would be made
in the Majestic to keep it as one of
the leading play houses of the city.
Movie fans will rest easier after this
announcement. The Majestic has come
to be an institution in Kenosha and the
fear that it might become thing Of the
past had not been at all welcome.
" Ks last word" said Mr.. Pacini,
this morning, "you might quote me as
saying that the Majestic is going to
be the same yesterday, today and
well as long as | have anything to do
with the management of it and that II
be long, long time.
Thus ended the interview hut the in
terviewer noticed that Theda Bara in

the right hunch in keeping the Majestic
at the same high standard of service.

THE FOLLOWING rs A COPY OF AN
OFFICIAL ORDER PUBLISHED TO
THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF
THE 2ND DIVISION NOW IN
THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION,

l. The year that has just ended has
been a momentous one for the country.
A year ago the military situation was
ominous. Russia and Romania had
been crushed, and the enemy was able
to mass a greatly superior force on the
Western Front. During March, April
and May he struck powerful and VIC
torious blows in Picardy, Belgium and
| the Chemin des Danes. AT this criti-
cal hour the American forces were
placed in the, battle lines, and on No
vember IL, after an offensive cam
paign by the Allied Commander in
Chief, conducted with consummate skill
and characterized by continuous bat
tie Of unparelled activity and violence,
the enemy was defeated and the vic
tory won.
II. The End Division played a part
of great Importance in this tremendous
engagement. It fought five (5) pitch
ed battles, or series of battles, always
defeating the enemy, and it has al
ways won the right to have inscribed
on its banners the names of the bril-
liant victories won at Belleau Woods,
Soissons, Saint Michel Salient, Blance
Mont and the Argonne Mouse. It's
casualties were 1872 officers and 23,-
635 men total 24,367. This was
about 1920 of the total casualties in
the A.E.F. 1t captured 1885 pris-
oners cover one quarter a - of
the total captured by the A.E.F.), and
345 cannon (about one quarter - n -
of the total captded by the A.EF.)
III. The officers and men of the
Division have earned by their va1or,
their skill and their victories the ad-
miration of our Allies and our coun-
trymen.
". That the New Year be happy
one for all members of the Division,
their families and friends is my most
earnest wish.
{Signed) John A LIE JENNIE,
Maj. General, y. s. Marine Corps,
Commanding.
In addition to the foregoing the
End Division also served three months
in the front line trenches at Yer
dun before going to Belleau Woods.
That was not pitched battle, how
ever, and was therefore not men
toned.
Several Kenosha men served with the
Marines and Infantry in the End Divi-
sion.
