Ferry Service Direct to Seattle Waterfront

The War Department 5 new edu-
and vocational training
plans were initiated at Camp
Lewis by order of the commanding
general. These are plans which
convert the cantonements into mil
itary universities. Enlisted men
may take, at their own option, not
10 exceed three hours "A day for
five days a week, any of the % ed
subjects, or amy of the
120 odd vocational subjects. Their
military duties are arranged so as
to permit them time for these
studies. Under the vocational
training plans it is not necessary
for a man to serve in the certain
branch he elects for his study. He
may be enlisted in a line unit, and
volunteer for mechanical training.
These plans especially appeal to
the young man who desires to
learn a trade and earn his way at
the same time to improve himself
mentally, morally and physically /;
to qualify during his enlistment
period for higher education or
more lucrative employment after
his return to civil life.

TURNED TURTLE
RYAN MAY Die
Officer Phillip Ryan Serious
ly Injured Sunday Morning
When Car Overturns
Near Central Park.
TWO OTHERS INJURED

Police Officer Phillip Ryal at the
Kenosha Hospital lowering between life
and death, and Officer John Bruins and
Merchant Policeman Edward Brennan
are suffering from painful injuries as
the result of an automobile accident
which occurred Sunday morning about
nine-thirty about a mile north of
Central Park. The policemen with
two other men from Racine, were re-
turning to Kenosha from that city and
were caught under the car when left
hind wheel came off and the car
turned turtle.
Little hope is held for the recovery
of Ryan. He was caught underneath
the weight of the car and at the hos
pital it was said that he was suffering
from a fractured skull and other inter
nal injuries. He is bleeding inwardly
and there is doubt whether he will live
throughout the day. Ryan was most
seriously hurt, having received a badly
fractured collar bone and other injuries.
Brennan was released from the hospital
after half hour on Sunday morn
ing as his injuries while painful were
not at all serious.
After working Saturday night and
Sunday morning the Kenosha police
men started on short pleasure trip
early Sunday morning. At Racine they
were Joined by two friends and were
returning to Kenosha when the acct
dent occurred. All of them state that
they were travelling at moderate rate
when a wheel jerked loose and the Ford
turned turtle. All of the occupants
were thrown violently by the force of
the blow, but Ryan was caught direct
ly beneath the car. The uninjured
crawled out and hurried to help in get
ting Ryan and Brennan from the wreck
age. Ryan was unconscious and has
never regained control of his senses.
a telephone call was put in immedi-
ately from nearby farm, house for the
police ambulance but before it reached
there a motorcyclist with a sleeper
came from the north and took Ryan to
the hospital in Kenosha. Later Herbert
Millager in his touring car took the
other Kenoshans to this city. The men
from Racine were uninjured and return
ed to that city on the electric railway.
The Ford car was badly wrecked by
the accident. It was brought to local
garage late Sunday afternoon and con
siderable repair work will be required
to put it into running condition.

ALLEN FOX
DIES IN THE EAST
Former Well Known Resident of Ke-
nosha Died At Ridgeway, Pa, On
Wednesday After Short Illness.

Allen Fox, aged 81 years, former
resident OF Kenosha and widely known
to Kenosha people died at Ridgway,
Pa, at four clock Wednesday after
noon following a short illness from in
fluenza which turned into pneumonia.
The announcement of the death of Mr..
Fox came as a great shock to friends
and relatives in Kenosha as it was
only few hours before his death that
message telling Of his illness reach
ed Kenosha.
Mr.. Fox had made his home in Ridg-
way for the past three years An honor
graduate Ct Pennsylvania State College,
he was chief chemist for the Central
Leather Company at the big plant at
Ridgway.
Allen Fox came to Kenosha in the
summer of 1910, as an assistant chem
list at the plant of the N. R. Allen $
Sons Company but he was soon advanc-
ed. He had wide knowledge Of the
tannery business and was regarded as
one of the best known chemists con-
nected with the leather business in the
nation. In October of 1915 he was
married in Kenosha to Miss Josephine
Thomas, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. JOS
eph Thomas of Milwaukee avenue. A
year after their marriage they remov-
ed to Ridgway where they have since
resided. The widow and one son, Will
liam Allen Jr., survive.
During the five years he lived in
Kenosha Mr.. Fox was a leader among
the younger men of the city. He was
a member of the Kenosha lodge ofS
Elks and the Masons and had been al
very active member of the Kenosha
Country Club.
James W. Blair brother-in-law left
Wednesday evening for Ridgway and
it is expected that the remains will be
brought to Kenosha for interment.

Spending the Patriots Fund.

Spending the "Patriots Fund.- APP
pears to be the occupation of lot of
people just at present. Suggestions
that it be used for hospitals and sum-
mer homes, paving streets and building
bridges for the rather advanced
purpose u a public ''benefit" fund
have all gone the rounds and with lot
of fertile minds working it is probable
that there will be lot Of more sug-
gestions. You remember the old re-
cipe for cooking rabbits, It began
something like this: First catch your
hare
And so with the Patriots fund or any
other fund that is gong to be expend-
ed, it is very certain to have some def
mite understandg as to how the
"hare is to be caught.
The Patriots fund like a lot of other
things which grew out Of the war and
the emergencies Of war, is going out of
business the first of June and every
cent collected as a "Patriot fund" is
going to be spent for patriotic pur-
poses.
We like the idea of civic fund to
take the place of the patriot fund and
so far as we know the men who in
cugurated the first fund have no
patent on the idea. Tt is the idea of
community work and it is as old as
the first community formed by man
kind. Kenosha leaders may have found
way to work it out just little bet.
ter and a manner to collect which
brought in a little more money but
Just the same the idea is simply the
old idea of centering public opinion
along certain definite lines.
This can be done and national pa
triotic call can be substituted to some
extont bv a call to civic patriotism
Thcre are limitations which define pref,
ty certainly just how far such fund
may be utilized.
We do not believe that it should be
used for paving streets, digging sew,
ers, building fire houses or bridges
These are all things which the city as
a city should take care Of and pay fol
out Of the money regularly collected fol
from the property owners and Others
as taxes. 1t is just possible that the
extension of hospital work is properly
matter to be taken care of in the
same manner. We appreciate the fac

ASK DIVORCES
IN MUNICIPAL COURT
Two Couples Who Found Married Life
Unpleasant Ask Judge TuIly to
Sever Their Bonds.

Two actions for divorce were fled in
the Municipal Court this morning.
In the first Mrs Margaret Bartlett
demands divorce from ner husband,
George Bartlett, on charges of cruelty.
The couple were married in New York
in 1889 and they have two children.
The wife alleges repeated acts of cruel
ty on the rart of her husband and asks
the custody of the two children.
Walter Draganwicz, recently released
as a corporal from the United States
Army, charges his wife, Barbara Drag
anwicz with infdelity. They we're mar
ried in May Of 1917 and an answer filed
by the wife, while denying the specific
charges, admits that their marriage
life had not been pleasant. Sc asked
that she be awarded the custody Of
the one child.

not preclude it being done in the flu
ture. The city should not get the
habit of passing collection basket
every time there is something to be
built or some movement to be advanced.
People pay taxes for definite purposes
and these are mostly connected with
the improvement of the city and the
paying of its running expenses.
A civic fund which would provide
for the erection of a suitable memoir
ial to the men who served in the war
appeals strongly to many people. 1t
is one of the things which might be
properly considered. These boys did
not fight to make the world safe for the
people who pay taxes but for all peo-
pie and the man who votes and who
does not pay taxes should have the
privilege of making contribution to this
fund right along with his neighbor
whose name appears prominent in the
tax roll.
1t is going to be difficult to have
any fund of this kind maintained un-
less it is shown that there is a def
mite need for the fund and that it IS
going to meet a definite purpose. There
is no desire to throw any cold water
on enthusiasm. Any plan that can be
worked out is going to get the support
of lot of people but to get the sup
port of all the people the end to be
attained must be clearly defined as
something that is beyond the burden
which should properly be born by the
municipality.
To line all Of the people up for a CT
vic fund is going to be lot harder
job than to get them to answer the
patriotic call for support of the boys
over there but it can be done IT the
definite idea is worked out and that
definite idea shows a real need for
the fund. Otherwise the movement is
destined to " fizzle' out just as one
man has written to the committee in
charge of its furtherance.
