Kenosha Soldier "Over
There" Asks He and His
Comrades Not Be For
gotten In Celebration.
BACK HOME IN JULY
Private Martin n Meyer and Three
Others Are sorry They VIII Not BE In
Kenosha For the Fourth But Are
Scheduled TO Arrive Later.

A new idea for the Kenosha Home
coming celebration which opens on the
glorious Fourth was contained today
in letter from far-away France
was from Private Martin N. Meyer, one
of the members of the Bind Division
who has not yet been mustered out Of
service but who wants to have d part
in the celebration. He has read in the
Kenosha papers of the welcome
home0 which waited for his comrades
and he writes to ask that Kenoshans
in their celebration of victory not for
get the boys who are still in the
khaki and will not be in Kenosha for
the big dom 81.
Accept my thanks, writes the
soldier who asks that he be called a
s'buck private :, for the splendid
write-up which has been given the
32nd division and those boys Of it who
are from Kenosha and have come back
home. You said, however, that most
of the boys were home. may be get
ting down to small fraction but to us
back over here it seems that there are
a number not yet homs. =
For instance he continues here
with me are Sergeant Borkenhagen,
Corporal Malcolm A. Ryan and Private
William F. Eich and we are all wait
ing for the time when we can swing
off the train at Keno and say Home
againl'' The soldier asks Kenoshans
in their celebration to think once in
while of the boys who are with them
in spirit but who are still across the
sea helping drive home the fruits of
victory.
The letter, which was written at
Gieyres, France, where Colonel Sym
monds of this city is in charge of the
great ordnance depot, holds out hope
that the four Kenoshans will reach
home by the latter part of July as they
are at the time of the writing booked
for early transport. The four have
been in France for several months hav-
ing arrived, az tho soldier writes,
"while Fritize was still making a
noise. y
Private Meyer asks permission for
one thing more in his letter. He wants
to publicly thank the people who sent
him the "Kenosha Evening News
while he was over in France He de-
clares that the paper has been one of
the things that has kept up the pep Of
the four and they feel that recognition
is due for the gift. When Meyer left
Kenosha, one of his friends, subscribed
for the Kenosha Evening News ana it
has followed him all the way to Ger
many and back to Gievres,

Kenosha Grand Conserva-
torians Hold Commence
ment Exercises AT the
Virginian Theater.
EVERYTHING. is ARTISTIC
Playlets, Solos, and Dances Are Clever
" Presented 49, Mime. Johnston Bisa-
np wins Applause with Her
Vocal Numbers.

Finesse and feeling characterized
every Offering on the program for the
sixth annual commencement exercises Of
the Konosha Grand Conservatory Of
Music, held in the Virginian Theatre at
eight-hfteen O'Clock Monday evening.
The bill for the function included
drama, esthetic dancing, vocal solos,
and dramatic readings, all of which
were rendered with restraint and ar
tistry typical Of the standards of the
local school Of expression. The whole
affair became, then, triumph for DR..
II. Slatre Wilson, director of the Ke-
nosha Grand Conservatory Of Music,
and his efficient instructors, Miss
Myrtle j. Broberg of the department
Of esthetic dancing and Miss Claire
Watson Of the department Of elocution
and public speaking.
The exercises will be continued this
evening with vocal and instrumental
recital in the parlors of the Conserva-
tory on Deming street.
Inasmuch as newspapers have way
Of being written in paragraphs and
columns rather than in chapters and
cantos individual comment on program
of such uniform excellence is mani
testify impossible. None the less the
singing Of Madame Genevra tombstone
Bishop cannot, be passed without some
little extra mention and great deal
Of extra praiseN Her best numbers were
her interpretations of Roubie g Stella
CONFIDENT" and "Buy Ny Oranges
by Scodopole. The latter, a whimsical
thing half-tragic and half humorous,
was presented by Madame Johnstone-
Bishop with an ease and artistry that
proved her soprano of wide range and
fexibility as well as an actress with
real charm and personality.

evening s exercises follows:
