was married in Kenosha in October of

with great cruelty. He declared that
some time ago she had written him a
letter declaring that it would be i'm
possible for her to live with him furth-
err After this letter she went to
Chicago and she had made her home

Postmaster German Says
People Must Wait Legal
Time Before Cashing
War Stamps
SENDS NAMES TO CAPITOL
Emergency Fund Lacking to Provide
Payment and Hundreds Turned Away
AT Post Offlce.-Government to Keep
Agreement in its own way.

The Kenosha post Office is being over
run with demands for the cashing OF
War Savings Stamps and this morning
Postmaster German issued q formal
order to all people of the city that
there would be no money exchanged for
these stamps save under the definite
plan of the government People desir-
ing to convert these stamps into money
must make a formal application to the
post master and his name will be sent
to Washington and in ten days money
may be available for payments. No
other plan will be considered regardless
of the amount of the stamps held.
"This is the only plan recognized by
the government in the payment of these
stamps, Z said the postmaster this
morning. We must send to Washing
ton the names of all people seeking to
convert stamps into cash. We have no
funds here with which to pay them and
before they can be converted into
money the money must be sent to us
from Washington. We will not make
any emergency" payments. Many
people are being urged to cash in these
stamps and some Of the officials con
slider this rush for this money a part
Of German propaganda which is being
carried out in an effort to wreck the
financial fabric of the nation. We have
had demands for cashing these stamps
from people whom we know are well
able to carry these stamps for a con-
siderable time and we are not going to
make any payments until the full pro-
visions Of the law have been complied
with. IF banks want to take over these
stamps that is their business, but we do
not believe that there will be any great
desire on the part Of the banks to take
over the stamps and that the bankers
will insist that the stamps be paid
through the post Office direct and in the
manner provided for by the government,
An examination at the post office
showed that there had been little or no
call for the War Savings Stamps of the
1919 issue and the sale of thrift stamps
is practically at standstill. There are
just few persistent buyers who recog-
nize just how high grade these Sc
curities are, but the total sold in
Kenosha in January would amount to
only a few thousand dollars.
Patriots said Postmaster German,
should show an interest in these
bonds Of the government. The govern
ment needs the money now and it has
counted on the sale Of these stamps to
get a lot of money needed for immedi-
ate expenses. Kenosha is expected to
do its share in providing this fund and
it is tagging far behind in the move
ment. In fact our sales Of the War
Savings Stamps and the Thrift Stamps
are practically at standstill.''

County Highway Committee
In Session This Morning
Lay Plans to Keep Roads
i'm Excellent Condition.
TO HIRE ELEVEN PATROLMEN
Road superintendent Will Be Paid
$4,000 a Month From April LIST to
December LIST and Be Held Response
bic for Road Conditions.

The Kenosha County Highway Com
mission, including Supervisors Tom
Fleming, James Martin and Charles
Kline and County Highway Commits
sioner John Herzog met today and de-
cided to inaugurate in Kenosha coun-
ty a complete system of road patrols
for the coming spring, summer and fall
season and it is expected that the sys-
tenn will result in Kenosha county
roads being better kept than in any
former year Of the history Of the
county.
Practically every road on the state
highway system is included in the pa
troll system and the committee have de-
cided to employ eleven men who will
give their whole time to keeping the
roads in condition. The patrolmen will
receive a uniform wage of one hundred
and fifty dollars month and they will
be in service from the first day of April
until the first day Of December with
the understanding that they will be
held strictly accountable to the county
fer the condition of the roads over
which they are put in charge. These
men are to give their entire time to the
repair of the roads and they are to
have charge Of all work in connection
with maintenance. The total cost Of
maintaining the roads is expected to
be in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
The roads that will be patrolled
throughout their entire length will be
the Burlington, Geneva, Wilmot, Sheri-
dan, roads. The Milwaukee road will
have patrolmen in charge for most Of
the distance through Kenosha county
The Paris Union Grove road will
have nearly a complete patrol system,
and the Kansasville-Sal road will be
patrolled south as far as the state line
Efforts are to be made to have the pa
troll systems of Racine county on the
North and Lake County, Illinois, on
the south arranged so that they will
correspond with the system adopted in
this county.
Within short time the committee
will seek applications for the positions
of patrolmen. IF possible these men
will be employed in the towns through
which the roads pass with a view of
having the men in charge of the roads
in easy access of them at all times.
The patrol system for the roads has
been worked out in number Of coun-
ties and it has proved the best pos
sible way to secure the maintainence
of the roads. Tt was tried out in Ke-
nosha county on small scale last sea-
SOL and the results were sufficiently
satisfactory to cause the committee
to favor the extension of the system
for the coming season.

Senator Poindexter Declares in Senate
That New Constitution Attacks the
Fundamentals of Our Government.

Washington, Feb. 19--In the first
prepared address on the League of Ma
tions delivered in the Senate since the
constitution of the proposed league was
made public, Senator Poindexter of
Washington, republican, today declared
the entrance of the United States into
the league would mean surrender of
American rights, privileges and SOW

roe doctrine and a violation oe the con-
stitution. The constitution of the
league, he asserted, was conflicting, in
definite and uncertain and the machin-
cry which it proposes to set UP ( SINH

STA. ~ No such colossal burden or
entangling alliance was ever before
conceived in the world the senator
said. "Instoad of being an instrument
of peace it is the fertile seed of war,
the dragon s teeth from which. when
sown, armed soldiers viii spring."
Through participation in the draft
ing the leagues constitution, Senator
Poindexter declared, the United States
had been led to point where 1--WE are
now facing an abyss IF the Senate
should ratify the proposed constitution
and sanction the entrance of the states
into a League Of Nations, without sub
mission of the question to the
American people in a political cam
paign where it shall have been made
the issue and upon which they will
have an opportunity to render Judgment
in an election he declared the self
government in America will have dis
