NO EXPENSE TO The COUNTY
Has Just Completed Work In ozaukee
County and It Is Declared To Be Sat
isfactcry would Consider Every
Phase of War In County.

r. P. Pixley, former secretary to
Governor E. L. Philip and a newspa
per man widely known throughout the
state has made proposition to the Ke-
nosha County War History Committee
to lift from its shoulders the burden
of compiling and publishing the history
Of the participation Of Kenosha county
in the great world war. Mr.. Pixley as
ISOLATED with George ". kuehl OF
Milwaukee was in charge Of the issu
ance of the history of Wisconsin s
War Activities and the two men are
now completing a history OF the war
activities of Ozaukec County. The
history in that county is to be circulat-
ed in connection with the State War
History. The county board of that
county has appropriated more than
three thousand dollars to place 4 copy
Of the history in the home of every man
who went to the army from Ozaukee
county.
The Ozaukee County history is now
on the press and Mr.. Pixley and his
aids are ready to accept commission
from the Kenosha county committee to
begin work here at once
Chairman F. Fl. Lyman Of the Keno
lsha county committee will probably
call meeting within the next few days
! to consider the proposition.
Plans have been made by the local
committee for some perpetuation of
Kenosha S war records but up to the
present time no plans have been made
for the issuance of a published history
Of the war, from the Kenosha County
angle. The company represented by
Mr.. Pixley in tho contract that is of
fered to the local committee does not
ask the payment Of any money from
Kenosha county in any way. The con
tract would provide that the commit
tee give the publishers the fullest coop
Grafton in the work and that all Of the
work be done under the auspices of the
committee with members Of the com
mittee having charge of the handling
Of all money until the book is complet
ed and delivered
The contract proposes to provide for
general sale In the couaty a general
history of the war to be a part of what
is known as g Wisconsin in the World
War. The Kenosha county volume
would be the secoMss volume to this set
of war histories. 1t would contain:
the general war history of Kenosha
county; the names, personal biographies
and military records of all soldiers;
the names, personal biographies and
service record Of all sailors, marines,
physicians, surgeons and dentists and
nurses; the names, personal biography
and service record Of all members Of
the state guard; the personal biography
and war record of all members of all
war organizations, including both men
and women.
The company agrees to gather the in
formation, edit, print and circulate the
book and collect all money derived
from the sale of it.
The company would assume all finan-
cial obligations in connection with the
proposed history. The understanding
is that the work is to be done under the
direct supervision of the Kenosha
Committee and the Kenosha County
Council Of Defense and that these or
CARNATIONS WI see 10 it that the pub
fishers Of the history have access to
all records relating to the war that The
county may have.
1t is said that the work Of the com
pany IN Ozankee county has been high
" satisfactory to both the committee
and the people Of the county.
