Teach English in
Serbian Schools
English is Now Compulsory Subject
in the Public Schools
In Siberia.

Belgrade, Serbia-English is being
introduced throughout the schools of
Serbia. 1t is now made compulsory
subject in the normal schools. The
first courses in English, which were
inaugurated in Belgrade year ago
Wild, Of Chicago, have yielded such
excellent results that the government
has decided to make the language a
art of the coricula of all schools.
Heretofore the dominating language
of the Serbians, apart from their native
tongue has been German. The Ger
mans were quick to see the advantage
Of introducing their language as a
means of acquainting the school chill
dren with the ways and customs of the
German people. The pupils were Civ
en- little chance to acquiring the
things that go to make up the life
and culture of Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
ton.
A very large proportion of Serbia
school teachers were killed in war,
800 having died during the Bulgarian
occupation. Scores of school buildings
were destroyed, and most of the school
books printed in the Serbian language
were deliberately confscated and burn
ed by the Bulgars. Even Bibles were
carried off, the object of the Bulgar-
ians being to displace all books in the
Serbian language with publications in
their own tongue.
Notwithstanding these disasters, out
of 200 school in Serbia, nearly 1000
have re-opened. So great is the thirst
for education in Serbia that it is a
common thing for children in the
country districts to leave their homes
before daybreak and walk for several
hours to reach school, not returning
home until late in the evening. The
school buildings, owing to the ravages
of war, often are without window
panes, heating, desks, books and even
writing material.
So great is the shortage of teachers
and the influx of pupils that the
former have to work from dawn until
night, taking their classes in relays.

FORTUNE GOES
TO RELATIVES
Father of BrOnislaus Kras-
Owski Found in Poland to
Claim $1,000 Fortune.
LAST WILL IS VALID

One of the most interesting will
cases in the judicial history of Ke-
nosha county was revived this morn
ing when word reached Kenosha that
the father of BrOnislaus Krasowski,
who died here leaving an estate in
the neighborhood of $4,000, had been
found in Poland residing with his
son-in-law, John Lescynski, and had
met the provisions of the will so that
the bequest should be sent to him i'm
mediately. Krasowski when he died
left two wills, one dated February the
1st and the other February the 9th
1918, the year that he died. In the
first the fortune was left to his nep-
hew Clemens Pemeco, of Kenosha, but
in the second he left his fortune to
his parents and his sister or brother
in-law in Poland, if they were living
and if not living to be divided equally
between the st GATHERINGS hospital,
the st. Casimir church and the St.
Joseph's Orphan Asylum.
The attorneys representing the bene-
ficiary under the earlier will main
tanned that undue influence had been
used in securing the second will but
Judge Belden after careful hearing
of the case ruled that the second will
was valid. Attorney Walter M. Burke,
who defended the second will in the
court, since that time has been search
ing for the relatives of the deceased
in Poland. The first letter from them
was received this morning.
1t explains that the father, Francis
Krasowski, is still alive but that the
mother, Mary Krasowski died in Jan
uary, 1920 at the age of ninety-eight
years. Later in March, 1920, the
sister Teofla, died leaving her hus-
band and the father as the only heirs
to the estate.
Some significance is attached to the
fact that a request is made that the
money be forwarded in American dol
lars to bank in Wilma, demonstrating
the value of American money there
It is believed that the deaths in the
family may have been occasioned by
conditions brought about by the war.
Attorney Burke announced that the
would be forwarded to the heirs
and the case closed.

Have Troubles of Their Own.
The League of Women Voters is hav-
ing little difficulty in its own cir
Gle which it is Strengthening out this
week. During the last session of the
civic school staged last week, the
speaker without the consent of the Of
ficers of the league, circulated a
pink slip of paper" which was sup
posed to be information of a non par
tisan nature regarding election form
aIlties. This paper, however, turned
out to be treatise on the League of
Nations and some of the women de-
clare that it is a very clever bit Of
Democratic propaganda.
AS the organization is founded on
a non-partisan basis, the officers of
the league want the members to know
that the circulation of these was not
authorized and that the incident has
been reported to national headquart-
ers.

There will be no political "strad-
ding the fence" by the candidates
who are after the votes of the electors
on Kenosha county if the women vot-
ers of Kenosha can help it. This was
made certain this morning when the
nature of the missionaries which
are to be sent to candidates by the
Kenosha Branch of the League of Wo-
men Voters became known. The wo-
men intend to put their questions to
the candidates in such terms that the
latter will have to clay their cards
on the table" and place themselves on
record as to what their course of con-
duct will be in the event that they
are elected to the office which they
are seeking.
failure to answer the question
naire will not help the candidate in
the least for the women are ready to
believe that those who will not an
swer an open question are not worthy
of their support.
Questions to be Pertinent.
"These questions will be pertinent
and to the point" explained one of the
women who is at the head of the COM
mittee to draft the questionnaires and
mail them to the various candidates.
eff we wcmen are going to vote, we
want to know for whom we are voting
and what our candidate, intends to do
when he is in Office. We will mail
our missionaries on Monday evening
and will request that an answ,r be
returned not later than Wednesday
so the answers may be made public"
The local organization will interest
itself only in the local situation so
far as the questionnaires are concern
ed since the state and national wo-
mems voters leagues have already put
questions to the state and national
candidates and received the answers.
In local political circles the questions
will be put only to the candidates who
seek legislative positions or who, if
elected, will be in position to enforce
the laws.
Quiz Prospective Congressman.
The QUESTIONABLE which will be
sent to the candidates for Congress
from the First Wisconsin district will
ask them to state definitely whether
they are in favor of law enforcement,
even when it comes to a question of
enforcing prohibition, and whether
they favor the five plan soldier bonus
bill recently passed by the House of
Representatives.
eve do not intend to ask these men
whether they are in favor of prohibi-
ton or not" explained one member of
the committee. "That is no longer a
question. What we want to know is
whether they will stand for the en-
forcement of the law as defined in the
Vohlstead law" The candidates for
assemblyman will also be asked to
define their stand on several issues.
To Leave No LOOpholes.
In quizzing the candidates for sher-
if and prosecuting attorney the wo-
men do not intend to leave any loop
holes. Their first question will ask
in the routine way whether or not
the candidate will stand for the en-
forcement of law and order in the
county. Then they will follow this up
with a question asking the candidate
if he will use all of the power at his
command to hunt out violations of
law in Kenosha county and to secure
the arrest and conviction of those who
violate it.

MYSTERY LETTER
IN LANG CASE
Chicago Writer Offers Po-
lice Information but Fails
to Indicate What It Is.
CALLS LANG ''MILLER"

The police have letter which is
supposed 70 give some information in
regard to Frank Lang, now waiting in
jail for trial on charges of numbering
Charles Pacini and the officers are
seeking to follow up the letter with
a view of getting some facts in re-
gard to the information alleged to
have by the writer. The letter came
from Chicago but the man who wrote
it did not think enough of the valua
ton of the information he may have
to sign his name to it and the police
are now seeking to find the man. 1t is
admitted that searching in Chicago for
the writer of an anonymous letter is
something like searching for needle
IN a hay-stack, but the letter has
been referred to the detective bureau
in Chicago and the post Office officials
are also seeking to aid.
Refers to Lang as Miller
The full text of the letter has not
been given out by the police depart
ment, but in the letter the man refers
to cone Frank Lang, also known as
J. G. Miller. 1t is thought possible
that the writer of the letter is some
man who resides in one of thc north
shore suburbs of Chicago. The letter
hints at important information which
the writer might be able to give to
the police department and hints at
interests" which are seeking to gov
ern the decision of the jury in the
case. 1t is not just certain which side
of the case the man is playing on and
this makes up the mystery of the let
ter. The police officers admit that
they do not consider the letter of any
great value to them or to the attor-
neys for the defense, but they are in
vestigating just the same. The writ
ing on the letter would indicate
that it might have been written by
a woman.

Elk Slaughter
Will Soon End
Over 1000 Were Shot in the Yellow
stone National Park in the
1919 Season.
IN. E. A. Staff Specially

Helena, Mont-This is going to be
the last year for the elk slayers on the
Montana side of the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park according to "Jake" De
Hart, state game warden. And it may
be that an aroused public opinion and
a late season will unite to prevent
this year repetition of the slaugh-
ter in 1919. when Mr.. DeHart claims
that more than 1900 park elk were
killed by hunters in the two counties
adjoining the great national play
ground and game preserve.
The branch line of the northern
Pacific railway was unable to handle
all of them and scores of carcasses
spoiled at stations along the line.
Many Protests.
DeHart predicts changes in Mon
tana's game laws by the legislature,
which meets in January. Protests
against the elk slaughter have come
in >from almost all parts of the ma
ton.
Present laws not only permit each
person owning hunting license to
kill one of these tame elk, but pro-
vide that a second one may be killed
upon the payment of an additional IL
cense fee of $25. The teeth, hide and
antlers Of the animal are worth more
than that, saying nothing of the meat.
No Thrill offered.
When the SHOWS come. the elk leave
the park in herds of thousands. They
are so numerous and so gentle that
hunting them offers no greater thrill
than it would to walk into stock
yard, select suitable animal and
shoot it. Instances are recorded in
which a hunter changed his mind af-
ter shooting, left the animal lying
where it fell and proceed to kill his
second choice.
