n CcoRDING TO ORDERS, BY F.
Britten Austin, is a collection of
war stories and descriptions possessing
both dramatic power and skin of work
manship. The studies Of the German
military mind in warfare remind the
reader somewhat Of Andrcas Latzko's
Men m War, for their merciless analysis
and their vividness Of impression. The
central theme Of the book is expressed in
the introduction to the first story: "Zv
Befehl means according to orders! 1t is
also the invariable German military ac-
knowledgment Of command from a So.

SIGNS DEATH WARRANT
FOR OLD SWITCH TRACK
Manager of North Western Orders Old
Chicago Street Tracks Re-
moved at Once

Frank Walters, general manager of
the Chicago and North Western Rail
way Company, signed the death war
rant for the old switch track on Chi
.cago street ON Monday and Mayor John
G. Joachim received a formal notice
from the company this morning that
the old tracks would be removed be-
fore the opening Of the spring. A por-
ton of the historic old nuisance was
torn out after the completion of the
Elks Club house last summer and since
that time the city officials have been
bombarding the company officials for
the removal of the rest of the tracks.
Under the order which has been sent
to the local construction men, the
tracks will be taken out from the north
side of Park street to the north side
of Market street. This will make it
possible for the completion of the paw
ing in front Of the post Office and to
the west of the City Hall. Local en-
ployees of the railway company gave
Mayor Joachim assurances this morn
ing that the tracks would be removed
at once.

REFORMED "lNISSING"
SLIGHTLY WOUNDED
Enrico Vagnoni Kenosha Soldier is Re-
ported Wounded in Days
Casualty Report.

The suspense which relatives OF En-
rico Vagnoni, Kenosha soldier, had felt
on account of the fact that he had
been reported as missing in action =
was relieved today when messages
from the war department. announced
that he had been found and that he was
slightly wounded in action. Vagnoni
was reported as missing in action many
months ago and Mrs. Alice Cody, No.
53S Grand Avenue, who was named as
the next of kin had made many efforts
to secure further information in re-
gard to him. The message today is a
most assuring one and it is stated that
he was but slightly wounded. It is
probable that he has long since re-
covered and that he has rejoined his
company with the American forces in
Germany.

AUTOMOBILE SMASHED
DRIVER ESCAPES UNHURT
Automobile Driven by Charles Schmidt
Struck by North Shore Limited
Train Monday Afternoon.

A Ford automobile driven by
Charles Schmidt and limited train on
the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee
Electric Railway, contended for the
right of way across the tracks at Salem
avenue on Monday afternoon. The
limited train won the battle and the
automobile was thrown to the Size of
the tracks a mass of twisted iron and
steel and tin. Schmidt by some mira
Gle escaped serious injury and he was
able to pick himself up from the side
of the tracks and view the ruins of
his automobile.
Schmidt was driving west along Ca
lem avenue and he heard the train com
ing. He attempted to stop his automo-
bile and applied all of the brakes but
the automobile skidded to the tracks
and the crash came second later.
Schmidt himself was unable to figure
out how he had escaped from the wreck
with slight injuries. The crossing is
supposed to he properly guarded by q
flag man but the 'sproper guarding
is alleged to have been very much in
doubt at the time of the accident.
The limited train was filed with pas
sengers who were thrown from their
seats by the force of the collision, but
it was said that none of them were
seriously injured and all Of them con.
tinued the trip aboard the car

JOHN SARIS rs
QUICK TO ANSWER
Appears at the Mayors once to Re-
neve the Anxiety of Parent Over
In Holland.

Sure enough, the Consul of Holland
in this country had been searching for
sometime for the whereabouts of John
Saris to relieve the anxiety of his par
ents over in Holland but when the
News told Saris he was wanted he was
quick to respond. The "missing man !"
came to the Office of Mayor Joachim
this morning and five minutes later a
cable was on the way to mis- father at
Helmond, Holland telling him that the
son was safe and well right here in
Kenoshs. Saris has been in the Ameri-
can army but he did not leave this
country and he was mustered out of
the service in South Carolina only a
little over a month ago. He declared
that he had sent frequent letters to
his father and that Ell could not I'M
derstand why. there had been any
anxiety for him. It is thought pos
sible that the letters never reached
Holland.

him either the complete triumph of
his ideal or that he go down fighting
for them.
There is no disgrace in losing. The
disgrace comes in quitting a fight. It
may take several sessions of the leg
islature to bring the minimum wage of
teachers to where it should be but
Senator Wilcox and other men Of wide
vision should be willing to fight this
battle even though political align

PAUL POPULORUM
VICTIM OF AN ERROR
Salesman Widely Known in Eenosha
Surrenders Self to Answer Federal
Court Warrant.

Paul Populorum, Zion City salesman,
widely known to Kenosha people on
account of the fact that he has made
regular trips to Kenosha for many
years surrendered himself to the Fed
eral authorities on Tuesday and gave
bonds of $500 to insure his appear
ance in court at any time to answer
charges of illegal sales of liquor. Popu-
lorum declared that he was the victim
of an error and asserted that he had
never bought, sold, gave away or had
in his possession any liquor of any
kind. Federal officials after making an
investigation of the record of Popu-
forum, suggested that a mistake had
been made. The report that Poph-
forum had been connected with such
a case has caused a sensation in all
the North Shore cities where he IS
known. The report on which the bench
warrant was issued was that Populorum
had been detected in one liquor sale in
Waukegan. 1t was said that the con-
nection of Populorum with the case
was due to joking remark which had
been made by friend.
Populorum has always borne an ex.
cellent reputation in Kenosha and he
has always been considered the strong
est kind of an opponent of the liquor
traffic in any form.

New Law introduced on
Tuesday Afternoon Facil-
itates Taking Over of
Street Railway Lines.
.KENOSHA OFFICIALS STUDY IT
Law May Be Of Great Interest to Keno
sIa Should it Decide to Solve Its
Traction Problem by Municipal
Ownership Route Later.

Kenosha Officials today took an in
terest in new law proposed for Wis
consin by Assemblyman Marcus john
son. 1T was introduced in the assembly
on Tuesday afternoon and It has for its
purpose the facilitating Of the taking
over Of street railway lines of muni-
cipalities If Kenosha ever wants to
become the operator of street rail
way system it hes chance to do it
with the consent of the people under
the proposed law. On account of the
troubles which have existed in Keno
sha the law is being considered by
Kenosha officials with especial interest.
1t is considered a good law on account
of the fact that it takes away a lot
of the red tape which has in the
past surrounded the purchase of a
street railway line by a municipality.
There is now an active demand in
Kenosha for tie consideration of
municipal ownership.
The present law provides for con-
demnation of a street car system be-
fore it can be taken over. The John
son bill provides that the common coun-
Gil of a city shall vote on the advis-
ability of taking over a street car sys-
TEN and if the council votes for public
ownership, the matter would be sub
mitted to the Circuit Court where a
jury would hear evidence and pass on
the question Of the advisability of
taking over the system as a matter of
public convenience and necessity.
Following favorable action by the
jury, the matter would be submitted
to the Railroad Commission to make
the valuation. AS soon as the valua-
ton is completed, the common council
of the city would submit to the cleo
torate the question of raising money
or voting bonds for the purchase of the
! utility. This would give the people
the final say on whether the utility
shall be purchased at the pride set
by the Railway Commission.
The Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany has suggested a sale of the lines
70 the city and has suggested price
of a little less than four hundred
thousand dollars, holding that this is
the valuation which has been approved
by the Railroad Commission and
valuation on which the earnings Of
the company has been figured for tax
able purposes.
Some people who have taken an in
terest in the matter believe that the
price which has been set by the COM
pany is a lower price than would be
set by the Railroad Commission on a
formal valuation with a view of TAX
ing the matter before the people pend
| ing purchase. The Johnse bill is
said to have met with favor from the
Legislature and it is expected that it
will be passed.
