co Club, has a surprise waiting for him
when he reaches Kenosha. The great
bandmaster and his musicians are to be
feted at the Elks Club at banquet at

hosts. The novel part Of the entertain
ment is that while they eat, the mem
bers Of the famous Sousa Band will
hear the Since Band play some Of the
compositions of their famous leader.
The Stars and Stripes Forever and
Bullets and Bayonets" will probably
both be played by the Since Band at
the unique affair.
The coming of the Sousa Band to
Kenosha on Friday evening is proving
quite the musical sensation of the sea-
son. The Armory is expected to be
filed to capacity to hear the premier
concert and ticket sales have now
reached the place where this is assured.
Kenosha is. doubly interested in the
event because Joe Green, the xylophone
artist of the band, is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Green Of Evergreen street.
This is his first appearance in Kenosha
and many of his friends in this city
are anxious to hear him.

LEAVES IS, 900 TO
WOMAN IN SOMERS
August Darres, Somers Soldier, Killed
BY Train Recently, Remembers
Kindness Of the Past.


August Darres, the Somers Soldier,
who was killed recently when struck
by . passenger train near that village,
tried to repay the kindness which was
given to him many years ago. This was
revealed this morning when it was
learned that he had made Mrs. Goel-
thel, Belgium woman Of the town Of
Somers, one Of the beneficiaries for
his government insurance to share with
his son, now in Belgium. Several years
ago Darres was seriously i'll and was
nursed through the illness by Mrs.
Goelthel and the soldier had not for
gotten the act.
There is some doubt, however, as to
whether the Kenosha County woman
can receive any money on the policy.
The insurance regulations declare speci-
fically that all policies must be pay
able to blood relations. County Ad-
ministrator Buckmaster stated this
morning that he was investigating the
case but that he thought all of the
insurance would go to the son.
The inquest, required by the insur-
ance regulations, will be held by Coro-
ner Parker at four o'clock this after.
noon at the Municipal Court Building

In January of 1919 the entire amuse-
ment world. was startled by the forma-

after having released their pictures for
a number Of years through various dis
tributing companies decided that to as
sure their best work and in order to
have full independence for the highest

upon the completion of their then ex-
isting contracts, release their own pic
