"DoING HIS BIT.
Sydney, the Photographer, Finds a Way
to Repay the Soldiers Who Gave
Lives in War.

w. ID. Sydney, the Market Street
photographer, has found a way to do
something for the memory of the boys
who gave their lives in the Great War
and he is pleased to have this chance
to do his "bit" in honoring them.
Tt happened this way. Several months
ago, Miss Cathie Mcnamara, secretary
of the Kenosha County Council of De-
Tense, started the work Of preparing
the history Of Kenosha County in the
war. It was decided that among other
things this record should have, if pos
sible, a picture of every Kenosha Coun-
ty soldier who gave his life in the
struggle. In several cases only small
pictures in groups have been secured
of the heroes and it has been necessary
to have these enlarged in order that
cuts may be made.
Miss McNarama took several Of these
to Mr.. Sydney and gave an order for
changing them to the proper size.
When the time came to pay the bin, Mr.
Sydney had his mind made up that
this was his opportunity to edo his
bit" and that he did not want any
thing for his services or materials. He
went further than that and assured
Miss Mcnamara that he would be very
glad to do any similar work for the
history and do it all for the same
price,.
tits nothing, the photographer is
said to have remarked, "and it makes
me feel like am doing little some
thing for the boys who gave everything
for US. Bring on the pictures, I'll do
the rest.

Back to Work Again.

Before the war Krikonian lived at
424 Wisconsin street and vas an en-
ployee of the Simmons Company. This
morning when he applied for work at
the Federal Employment Bureau he
was sent to the Simmons Company
where he obtained work Immediately.
The Armenian soldier has given up
all hope Of ever seeing his wife or his
parents again. He declared this morn
ing that conditions were so frightful
in his country that had they been for
tunate enough to escape death-or
worse-at the hands Of the Turks, they
had probably died from hunger. He
added that no stories could exaggerate
the terrible atrocities committed by
the Turks and warned Kenoshans
AGAINST accentino foo early any PROMISES

A DRIVE FOR CLOTHING.
Local Red Gross Unit VIII Start Cam
paign for Used Garments on
Monday. March 18th.

ST. Patrick's Day will be made
doubly sacred in Kenosha this year.
The wearin Of the green will be sup
plemented by work for the Red Cross,
which will make the holiday the inau-
guration Of its great drive for used
garments for the sufferers in countries
allied with the Entente.
The plan which will be followed is
the one which has been so successful
in the collection Of clothing for Bel
GUM. On previous occasions, the Red
Cross has been responsible only for the
collection of clothing and the delivery
of the packed goods to the railroads.
In this campaign the Red Cross will as
sumo entire charge Of the operations
from the time of collection to the time
when the baled clothing is delivered to
the ships Of the European Relief Ad-
ministration which will transport it to
Europe.
The distribution of this clothing in
Europe will be entirely under American
supervision. The ARC Commissions
will supervise it in those countries
where they are at work and in those
places where there are no definite
chapter organizations. Thus the whole
responsibility for the campaign is
placed upon the Red Cross Association.

for retribution.
In all the time that he had been gone
friends of Krikonian had heard no
word from him and this morning when
he greeted his former associates, it
seemed almost. like a voice from the
grave. 1t had long been thought that
he had died in the service of Armenia
or had persisted from hunger after
searching the city of Harpoot for he
had promised to write back to his
friends in this city. He declared today

DR.. Helen Earbert Will Conduct In
teresting and Practical Course at
the Red Cross Rnnnns

Kenosha women who are anxious to
learn the principles of Hygiene, Home
care of the Sick and Dietetics, will
have an unusual opportunity to realize
their ambition through a course of in
struction shortly to be offered at local
Red Cross Headquarters by DR.. Helen

Instruction for women.
DR.. Harbert intends to make her new
work distinctively practical. Lectures

work in the front part Of the Red Cross
rooms, where beds, tables, and other
equipment will shortly be installed.
By way of preparing herself for her
new work the popular physician made a
special trip to Fort Sheridan on Tues
day and made a tour Of inspection Of
the military hospitals at that post.
In this work she was guided and assist
ed by Captain Andre, who is now sta
toned at Fort Sheridan.
The details Of the new project were
presented by DR.. Harbert as the regu-
lar meeting Of the Woman s Club held
at the Park Avenue Methodist Church
this afternoon. The talk gave an adj
mirable prospectus of the new course
ed aroused no little interest in a.
movement at once personal, patriotic,
and altruistic.

Crosses Siberia on Foot.


The Armenian soldier $ experience had
only begun with the story of the Turk
ish massacre at Erzerum. After that
for months he made his way across ST.
IBERIA seeking in country already filled
with starving thousands bare exist
ence in order that he might find his way
back to Kenosha. Often he said that
he went days without bread and once
or twice nearly gave up the struggle.
Finally almost starved he reached the
headquarters of the American Red
Cross at Vladivostock. Here ne stayed
at the barracks for months until he had
recovered from the exposure and weak
ness and later through the Red Cross
secured passage to America.
The Red Cross at Vladivostock gave
him no money but they gave lin what
was much better-a letter signed by w.
E. Hall, commanding the post there,
which introduced him to the Red Cross
units wherever he went and secured for
him transportation to the next city.
The letter substantiates every word of
his story and is highly priced by the
Kenoshan.

Escapes Turkish Massacre.


The Armenian patriot found himself
in March 1917 a member of the three
hundred who made the last stand
against more than three thousand Turks
in Middle Asia. In telling the story
this morning he said that the Armen-
ians, hoping against hope for relief,
continued to retreat before the Turks
until, a mere handful they were over
taken by thousands of Turks at Erzer-
UNI. The massacre of the Christian
Armenians wniea followed was describ-
ed by Krikonian this morning.
lit was terrible, he said. "The
Turks had no idea Of mercy. / myself
saw one Turk take and Armenian baby
and tear it limb from limb before our
very eyes. l saw ether Turks toss
Armenian children into the air and
catch them on their Layorets. We
fought as long as we could and then
the few survivors joined with the refu-
gees who were fleeing from the city. I"
Krikonian, himself, was wounded IN
this massacre. He has long scar on
his left hand where he was cut by q
Turkish sabre but he declares that he
made the Turks pay dearly for tnat
wound.

Finds Home in Ruins.

When the first word reached America
of the terrible massacres which were
being perpetrated by the Turks in
Asia, Krikonian started for Armenia to
fight the traditional enemy of his peo-
pie. His first objective was Hapoot,
his native town in the southern part
of Middle Asia. When he reached
there early in 1917 he found the town
in the hands of the Turks and his own
home in ruins. Officers told him that
his wife might be a member of the
refugees who fed from the city or that
she might have been one of those who
had been taken captive by the Turks.
Krikonian needed no further word.
He enlisted Immediately in the small
Armenian army, already fighting
against impossible odds, and hurried
away to the city Of Erzerum.
