HUNS REORGANIZE
 FOREIGN OFFICE
Rv Associated Pres,

Berlin July Reorganization of the foreign office will begin soon but 1t cannot be expected to move very swiftly since the newcomers must take some time to become acquainted with their new work, says the Deutsche Alligemeine Zeitung.
 Already one new minister, an under secretary, political director and a personal reporter have undertaken their new duties at the foreign office
 The system will be altered so that one individual will control all relations with one given country whereas now political, commercial and new relatins were handled separately.
 The rank which diplomats abroad will take is still uncertain and it is con sidered probable that many countries will appoint charge d affaires, an ex- ample which Germany must follow.
 The Allgemeine says that the general commissary at Versailles, Director Simons, after leaving the state service will become director of the imperial as- sociation of German industry.

fortunately the attendance at the af-

expenses incident to bringing this mu-

offered to donate $50 to help meet the
deficit made by the concert. The
representatives of the Legion promptly
refused the offer with thanks.
eve believe, said one member of
the Legion in regard to the incident,
that we brought an offering to Keno

admission We appreciate the help Of
ferred US by friends but we insist that
the Legion must not be considered as
an institution which is to be supported
by gifts but rather as one to be sup
ported by patronage at the affairs
which we present. The Legion will
give another entertainment in several
weeks and we hope that friends will
rally around the standard then and
help overcome the deficit which was
made on Monday evening.

Society and Club Life
BETTER THAN EVER
Lasa1le Comedy Company at Virginian
Please Audience With It's opener
ssThe Yankee Princess

'sThe Yankee Princess"
At the Virginian Theatre Monday
evening, "Better than ever" was the
universal comment made by those who
saw the LaSalle Musical Comedy Com
pany present "The Yankee Princess 81
as the opening offering of its week of
entertainment at this theatre during
the coming week. Several hundred peo-
pie watched the revue and were highly
entertained and pleased with the Of
fering.
"The Yankee Princess" had one of
the requisites of musical comedy
it had no plot to speak of, leaving the
audience free to listen to the music and
watch the dancing. There was a sug-
gestion of story about an American
girl in France who was looking for a
model for Nero in a picture entitled
"The Burning of Rome' but this was
just enough to keep you guessing what
the next song or dance would be.
The music and dancing, however,
made up for the lack of plot. With Ell
mer Coudy as Mr.. jazz to furnish the
merriment-and he did it well-and
with several pretty girls in the sup
porting cast, there was frequent earn
ed applause for the numbers. Of the
songs given "When the Women of the
Past do the Dances of Today 1.-THE
finale-was the most cleverly present
ed and with attractive costumes became
the most popular of the show. The com
pany will present new musical COM
edy each evening at the Virginian.

DOUG PLEAsEs EN- ALL
AS Ills Majesty, the American
Douglas Fairbanks Plays Stellar
Role at Burke Theatre.

The. moving picture manager or
scenario writer or whoever he was, who
planned to present Douglas Fairbanks
as " His Majesty, the American" knew
just exactly what he was doing. Hun
dreds of Kenoshans who saw the film
on Monday evening at the Burke were
convinced of this as they saw "Doug"
show the natives of France what real
honest-to-g goodness American can
do. The plot is very welr adapted to
Fairbanks and at that he livens it up
to the limit with his usual activity.
The picture is an American one all
the way through. While it is as peace
able film as the lively Douglas can
make, he was materially assisted in it
+ a lot Of Uncle Sam 5 fighters over
seas. Corporal Joseph Henaberry was
the director, Lieut. Victor Fleming,
formerly of the United States Signal
Corps, was in charge OF the battery of
cameras and Billy Shaw, who received
military decorations in France, edited
the film. If this ism It enough to make
It truly American remember that three
hundred Yanks, lately returned from
service were given jobs in constructing
The French village which was used in
producing the picture.
Large crowds were the rule at the
Burke to watch the picture on Sunday
and Monday and are expected there to-
day in the last showing of the film in
Eenosha at the matinee and evening
performances of the Burke.

ger State To Support Wis
consin Colleges In
New Drive.
OPENS HERE ON THURSDAY
Wisconsin Colleges To Send Two Col

Their Cause At Meeting Of
Kiwanis Club.

Why the campaign of the Wiscon-
sin Colleges Associated, which will be
launched in Kenosha on Thursday at
the meeting Of the Kiwanis club, should
receive ample support was clearly stat
ed today by J. Ell. Puelicher, chairman
of the executive committee. He declar-
ed that the colleges are the state S most
effective weapon against oolshevism
and must be supported if we wish to
save American PRINCIPLES of govern
ment.
His statement lis of great interest to
Kenoshans by re hson OF the fact that
the campaign of the state colleges will
be launched here on Thursday when DIR.
Mevin Brannon, president of Beloit
College will explain the plan at the
meeting of the Kiwauis club. The OPP
ening statement will not be an appeal
for immediate funds but will merely
lay before Keno$hans the project.
Mr.. Puelicher in his stat 9ment of the
cause of the colleges said in part:
:" We are about to engage i'll a great
campaign in the cause of education
Christian education-the kind Of edu-
cation that undeflies the great achieve
ments Of the ages. America was born
a Christian nation.' Her government,
her Institutions, the welfare of her
people rest on the fundamental truths

great truths, tho great moral purposes
which underly our government must be
brought home to our people. Christian
education must be enlonasized. Chris
tlaniay must be practiccd. It's princi-
pies must again become the rock upon
Which rest our public and private acts.
The Christian colleges of our state
have put aside the intolerance Of a
past age and together are marching
forward, shoulder to shoulder, Catholic
and Protestant TO serve the country
whose existence rests upon the teach
ings and practice Of Christian morality.
they come for the support which will
enable them to be Ct greatest use to
us and to our institutions. To support
item now IS but to insure to ourselves
a continuation Of that form Of govern
ment which has made Amcr:ra nrao+
not because of her riches, but because
OF her ideals, because of her standards
of righteousness.
Never were educated men more
needed. Never has the cause of edu-
cation had so urgent a claim to our con.
slderation and support.
i" America is watching Wisconsin
What she SUCCESSFULLY achieves will he
followed elsewhere. Wisconsin is lead
ing-leading the cause of human free
dom and human happiness. Wisconsin
will register her faith in our form of
government, In our institutions, in our
ideals by supporting and encouraging
these schools (which have given her

First Church Fair Of Sea-
son Presented Next Week
By the Sunday School Of
Congregational Church.
BOOTHS and EVERYTHING
''Just An old-Fashioned Combination
Of a Church Fair and County Fair
Is the Description Given BY One
of the Workers.

The good old fashioned church fair
is going TO come back into its own in
Kenosha.
At least this is going to be true for
two days next week for on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings, the Sunday
school of the Congregational Church is
planning to give fair in the church
parlors which will revive the "good
old days" when the church fair came
around about as regularly as the
measles. There will be booths, restau-
rant, side-shows, and everything which
is included under the category of either
a county or church fair. Each of the
classes of the school has prepared a
stunt for the occasion and the event
promises to be one of the most inter
esting church affairs Of the season.
For New Parish House.
The object of the fair is to stimulate
new interest in the Sunday school and
in financial way to swell the fund
now being raised for the new parish
house of the Congregationalists. The
preparations for the event have been
successful in arousing a great deal of
interest among the children and the
"grown-ups" Of the school already and
the event is beginning to attract the
attention of other church schools of the
city. The public is cordially invited to
attend the fair and help make it a
success
Booths are Numerous.
Those who attend the county fair on
next Wednesday and Thursday can
choose for themselves the kind of en-
tertaiAment they want. There will be
numerous side-shows and booths and at
the close a general program. Two Of
the many features will be the booths
of the Kandoo Club and the Christian
Endeavor Society, both of whom are
keeping the exact nature of their en-
tertainment a surprise until the open
ing evening Of the fair.
