Congressman Randall Asks
Kenoshans to Make I'M
mediate Application.
TO GET 20 PER CENT
Men Who Served in Russia Are
Especially Favored by New
Ruling of Comptroller.

Congressman Clifford E. Randall, on
last Saturday afternoon sent tele-
grams to papers all over the first dis
trict in an effort to aid men who were
in the army service get additional COM
pensation for overseas service, which
has been guaranteed to them under a
ruling of the comptroller of the United
States Treasury. The message of Con-
gresham Randall says;
Editor, of Evening News,
Kenosha, Wis.
Under decision Of the comptroller
of the United States Treasury all en-
listed men who served overseas from
and after July II, 1919, are entitled to
twenty per cent additional compensa-
ton for foreign service. Please inform
service men through your paper to make
application to Congressman c. E. Rand
all, Washington, D. c., giving their
name, rank, organization and serial
number. All men affected by this de-
cision are urged to file application for
the additional compensation at once.
Affects Fifty In Kenosha.
The announcement of this additional
compensation to this particular class
of men in the service was made
through the columns of the Evening
News some ten days ago but the men
have not as yet been advised as to just
where the application for the added
compensation was to be made. The
telegram from Congressman Randall
shows his willingness to look after
this detail.
The order will affect some fifty
men in Kenosha. Most of these men
we're IN service on the Archa1eeI
front in Russia and many of them
will have added CONDENSATION for from
four to six months coming to them. 1t
also affects few Kenosha msn who
remained in France and on the German
border in charge of cleaning up after
the departure of the army.
No Delay in Payments.
1t is understood that there will be
no delay in making the payments for
the added compensation and the money
will be available Just as soon as the
men claim it. 1t is expected that all
service men in Kenosha who fall with
in the last set by the order will make
their applications at once.

LIBEL SUIT ENDS
OUT OF COURT
Suit of George A. Bassford
VS.. Head. Simmons Co.
Settled Today.
ASKED FOR $4,000
Settlement for $500 Is Reached
Just Before Case Is Called
for Trial


The suit of George A. Bassford, of
Evansville, against the Head-Simmons
Publishing Company, in which the
plaintiff demanded damages of $4,000
for alleged libel, was settled out of
court this morning, the defendants
paying the plaintiff the sum of $500
in lieu of all claims against the com
pany. The suit was brought nearly
two years ago by Attorneys Cochems,
Wolfe and Kolinski of Waukesha. 1t
alleged that an article published in the
Evening News under former manage
ment of that paper, was untrue and was
an injury to the reputation of the
plaintiff who had formerly been a
school teacher in a northern city.
Admits Story Untrue.
The serving of the summons in the
action was the first knowledge that the
editor of the paper had that the ar
ticle had been printed 1t was an
article which had come into the news
paper Office as part of a shipment
of news plate" which had been pre-
pared by newspaper supply company
in Chicago and it was inserted in the
paper without the proofs being sub
mitted to the editorial department
The present owners of the Evening
News, while disclaiming liability for
the publishing of the article, promptly
admitted that it had done Bassford
a wrong and promptly offered to pay
such fair damages as might be sug-
gested by his attorneys or granted in
the wisdom of the jury.
Similar actions were brought by Mr..
Bassford against many papers in Wis
aconsin and in several of these cases
large settlements were made.
Litigants Meet AS Friends.
The settlement of the action this
morning was unique in the courts of
this county. Mr.. Bassford and his at
torneys and the officials of the News
and their attorneys met as friends.
Mr.. Bassford stated that he felt no
i'll will, that he was convinced that
there had been no intention on the
part of the paper to injure him and
that the article as published had
been published without the knowledge
of the editor.
The editors of the News Pre- mptly
offered to pay damages in reason
able sum and the amount of $500 was
agreed upon as reasonable and paid
and an order dismissing the suit was
entered this afternoon.
Bassford Not Guilty of Wrongs.
While Mr.. Bassford has made no de-
mand upon the News for the publica-
ton OF any retraction If the story on
which the action was Jased, the News
desires at this time to say that the
article published was not in keeping
with the facts. Mr.. Bassford has shown
by competent evidence that there
was no ground for the article as sent
out by the Press Association and that
the statements made were a gross ex-
aggeration of a minor difference in a
school organization. The News makes
this statement voluntarily because it is
in favor of fair play.
Attorneys Cavanagh and Mittelstaed
represented the News in the settlement
of the case.

HIGH COST HITS
GOLF LINKS TOO
Members of Country Club
Get Notice Fees for
Year Are Higher.
LIMIT SOME FEATURES

Old General High Cost Of Living has
taken another crack at Kenosha peo-
pie and the feature of the announce
ment of the officers of the Kenosha
Country club to the members is an an
nouncement that it is going to cost
more to play golf during the coming
season. A letter sent to all the mem
bers of the club today makes an an
nouncement of the advance in the fees
and at the same times makes an an
nouncement of the purchase of the
new grounds to be used for the club.
The letter states that the new club
links are to be ready for play not lat
err than the first of July, 1921 and
that work will be started on them
at once.
Tells of Directors Action.
Here is the letter announcing the
plans of the club for the season:
"The annual meeting of the board
of directors was held February 9Th,
1920. At that time plans were dis
cussed not only covering the activities
of our Country club during the cur
rent year of 1920, but also looking to
he future.
Gas you are aware the lease on our
present grounds expires at the end of
this year and it has been impossible
to negotiate a continuation of this
lease. This condition made apparent
the necessity of obtaining land else
where for a Country club and golf
links if Kenosha is to enjoy the pleas
ure and advantages for a club of this
kind.
Purchase New Property.
A committee was appointed to look
for new location with the result that
has already been announced in the
paper-a tract of land north of Ke-
nosha has been purchased for a new
club, and the development of this prop
erty will begin as soon as weather per-
mits. Play should be possible on
temporary greens early in the season
of 1921 and-swe hope on the perma-
nent greens not later than July 1st of
the same year.
While the new club is in preparation
we are III pOSS6SSlOu
of our old grounds for the season of
1920 and the directors feel sure that
it is the desire of every member to
make this last memorable one
from every standpoint, and that all
will work together to that end.
Dining Privilege Curbed.
In order to accomplish this result
and because of added expense neces-
sary to go through the 1920 season,
the following resolution at the annual
meeting was thoroughly discussed and
adopted:
"That the annual dues be changed
as follows: Family membership, $75;
Individual membership, $50; Ladies'
membership, SIS. That meals be serv-
ed at. the club on holidays and Sat
urday evenings only"
