its story when he gets back on Main
street.
The letter, which was written on
the End of February, also mentions the
fact that the 5th of February was the
anniversary Of the sinking of the
"Tuscania where many Kenoshans
learned first hand of German cruelty
and as result of which Private Mitch
ell was himself reported missing for
several days.
Private Mitchell has recently made
application for furlough of fifteen
days in order that he may go to Scot
land to visit friends and relatives.
He does not expect to return to Keno
sha in the very near future as he
declares that the men in his unit are
not being sent back TO the States
quickly.
The letter is also interesting because
it authenticates the recent report that
Lieut.. r. L. Marsh had succeeded Capt.
Asbury Vale as Commanding Officer Of
the company while the Kenosha Cap
tain was released to accept position
as Executive Secretary of the War
Materials Board with Offices in Cob
lenz. This is shown by the fact that
the letter is censored by Lieut.. Marsh
as Commanding Officer.

County Clerk Holderness
Would Make These Records
a Permanent Record of
the County.
ASK COUNTY BOARD TO HELP
Plan Has Been Stated in Other Coun-
ties in State and is Declared TO be
Working Out Splcndidlly De-
eide at Early Meeting.

A permanent record Of the military
service of every man from Ilenosha
county who served in the Wcrld War,
is the plan of County Clerk Charles L..
Holderness and he will propose his
plan to the meeting Of the County
Board to be held on March 18th. The
plan viii provide for a special blank
to be prepsred by the county and to be
filed out by every man who left the
county to enter the army. This blank
was born, his relatives, the time of en-
listment, his term of service. the en-
gagements in which he had part, the
wounds he sustained and the honors con-
ferred upon him for bravery in action.
1t is the plan to have these records
made a part of the permanent records
of the Office of the county clerk until
such tins as memorial hall
may be prepared for in the new county
court houee.
''This plan has been tried out in a
number of counties - said County Clerk
Holderness this morning, and clerks
in these counties tell me that they are
gathering a vast amount of historical
data in regard t. the service rendered
by men from their counties in the
Great War. Kenosha county has lit
tie over twenty-six hundred men who
marched away to war and 1 believe that
it will be possible to get record of
the service of at least two thousand of
this number and we may be so fort
innate as to get even a greater num-
Der of the records. The county should
in my opinion, make a special effort to
secure the facts in regard to the men
who served. With the full endorse
ment OF the County Board for the plan
we will be able to use the town organi.
cations to aid us in the collection of
the data necessary
just as soon as the County Board
gives its sanction to this plan the form
al record blanks viii be printed and
access to the draft board records will
give us start in the work. We shall
of course ask for the widest possible
cooperation among the people Of the
county in order to make this card
record of our soldiers as complete al
possible.''
Several of the members of the
County Board has already declared that
they will give their immediate sane
ton to the plan.

SOLD HIS SOUVENIRS.
Leonard Benedict Of Bristol Decided
Wound-Stripe was the Best
Memento and Sold the Rest.

emo I haven It many souvenirs. I
had some German revolvers, helmets,
and trench-knives, but I sold them. I
decided a wound stripe was the one
best souvenir and got a good many
francs for the rest of my stuff.
This was the statement made by
Leonard Benedict of Bristol, when he
was interviewed recently by repre-
sentative of the Evening News.
Benedict has returned to Kenosha
county after five months service over
seas. AS a member Of Company II. Of
the 18th Infantry he fought his way
through the Verdun drive but dropped
out in the fight at st. Mihiel. Four
shrapnel wounds received in the fight
ing here took him out Of the line and
sent him back to the States and his
home in Bristol.
"The Germans were yellow" he
contends. whenever 1 saw them
they were either running or throwing
up their hands with a hopeless
sKamerad'."
The repatrie insists that the German
mass-attacks were evidence of cow
ardice instead Of courage. He as
serts that the Huns were afraid to ad-
vance singly and that they lost their
nerve as soon as they found them
selves alone and dependent on their
own initiative. Hence the massed for
nations at KENNEL Hill, Verdun, and
Amiens.

COMING = AN IRON CROSS.
Alderman Shearer TO Have War Sou
venir as Soon as Prvt John Nit

Alderman Conrad Shearer is to have
decoration from the German govern
ment. Incidentally the German govern
ment will not know anything about it
and the President of the Kenosha Coun-
ell is little bit in doubt as to whe-
Their it is a decoration.
The badge - for it is to be an "iron
cross - comes in a round about way
to the Kenosha alderman and is mere
ly souvenir of the great war. Mr..
Shearer heard the first about it Sat-
urday evening when he received a let
ter from John Mitchell, now private
in Company B of the 10th Supply
Train stationed at Marienhausen, Ger
many, which tells how the Kenosha sol
der has stored away one German iron
cross to be brought home to the Ke-
nosha alderman. The Kenosha soldier
admits that the cross was not taken
from the uniform Of a conquered Hun
but adds that it is a real souvenir of
the war anyway and that he viii tell
