FIGHTING HORNETS.

President Wilson cannot long have held to
the opinion after America entered the war that
the way to fight the submarine hornets was to
destroy their nests. He did not insist upon
the American navy undertaking so hazardous
and doubtful an enterprise The presumption
is, therefore, that better advice prevailed at
Washington.
The slow progress Of swatting the wasps
individually was what won the war on sea. The
strategy of the naval experts consisted in de-
vising means for increasing the number of
swatters. That was done until the wasps dared
not show their heads except to be slaughtered.
There was school Of strategy during the
war which demanded an attack upon the Ger
man naval bases. But, is was small minority
The destruction Of the German navy was never
an essential condition Of victory. The bottling
up Of the navy was. There never was chance
that the Germans could unbottle their warships
unless the allies lost large part of their own
fleets without corresponding German loss
The submarine failed from the very first to
accomplish this result There remained to
Germany only the chance that the allies would
pit their battleships against the mines and land
Notifications of the German naval bases. What
would have happened in that case was demon
strated when the allies failed to force the OAR
danelles against even the inferior defenses of
the Turks.
Audacity is an admirable trait. But, it must
be accompanied by scientific judgment, or 1t
may end disastrously. An emminent disciple
of reckless audacity is D'Annunzio. It is for
tunate his like did not control the allies naval
strategy during the war.

pany. He will take charge of his new
duties in Oklahoma City on the first

County leaders today expressed great
regret that the services of DeGuire
were to be lost by the county board.
He has been one of the most con-
scientious and intelligent members of
the board and has had part in much
Of the constructive work of the board
during the past three years. He has
been a member of many important
committees Of the board and has al
ways secured results for his work. He
has suggested to the common council
the election of Peter NJ. Sorrensen as
his successor as q member of the coun-
ty board. The term of Supervisor De-
CURE would expire in April of next
year and the election will be for the
unexpired term.

This is asking for the emergency measures

It is to the best interests Of the public that
the railroads be used to supply the people Of
the United States with the necessities of life.

other countries, and the American demand for
luxuries. The great American food crop will

More important than much of the passenger

JUST SUPPOSIN'.

There was a Dad-just any common regular
Dad-who had a wife and maybe a couple Of
youngsters and place commonly known as
home, sweet home. Maybe he's the sort Of
a fellow who spends all his spare moments
thinking about business. He's grown into that
habit, and, doggone it, the whole family have
noticed it.
One son, for instance, would like very much
to make pal out of this Dad but where is
the opportunity when Dad spends most of his
evenings back in his den, or maybe at the Of
flee?
So the son gets to drifting out in the even
ing and his habits become a bit raw-edged. He's
not bad sort of son, but he misses the Dad
he has always hoped to grow up with, and in
search Of some one Of his own sex to talk about
things to, he becomes an away-fron-home sort
of son.
Now just supposin' that Dad had been the
sort who would take the son under his wing
give him share of his time and show real
fatherly interest
Chances are the boy would be home lover
instead of perhaps rounder or some such.

WILL CELEBRATE
|. BOY SCOUT WEEK
Elaborate Program and
Field Meet Planned for
First Week in June.
TENTH ANNIVERSARY

AS part of the tenth birthday pro-
gram Of the Boy Scouts Of America,
the week commencing Memorial Day,
May 80, and ending Sunday, June g.,
will be observed nationally as Boy
Scout week. In 1900 communities
where Scout trops are established, q
program Of outdoor activities will be
carried out.
The remarkable growth of the Boy
Scouts Of America has given great
stimulus to the outdoor activities of
American boys. It is probable that
throughout the past year more boys
have spent days and nights in the open
under leadership than ever before in
the history of the United States since
pioneer days; and because Boy Scouts
have taken this message of the out
doors into their homes, have conducted
open window campaigns and fresh air
crusades, it is likely that more grown
ups have breathed pure air during the
past year than has been the case since
the time of our great-grandfathers.
Boys, as Scouts, have been taught
to care for forests and to fight forest
fires. They have gathered information
for numerout departments Of forestry,
sometimes collecting data on the trees
of an entire state. They have engaged
in fights against insect pests and have
made notes on different varieties of
birds.
Thousands of American boys, who,
a year or so ago, were absolutely help
less in the open, can now be depended
upon to find their way about, to cook
their own meals, to choose proper
camp site and to erect comfortable
shelter. Thousands of American boys,
who formerly knew little or nothing
of nature, cen now recognize many
different kinds of trees and give the
names of dozens of wild flowers; can
easily recognize the more common
birds and know enough about mush-
rooms to avoid being poisoned.
The activities Of Boy Scout week
will include special Scout services in
churches of all denominations, outdoor
rallies, overnight hikes, barbecues,
field days, demonstration camps, and
competition in outdoor features of all
kinds.
On Sunday, May 80, the opening day
of Boy Scout week, special services
in which Scouts will participate are
planned by churches of all denomina-
tions. Programs of Scouting activities
will be held through the week, and
Friday, June 4. will be observed os
Hike and Camp Day. A nation wide
Field Day program will be held on Sat
urday, June 5, with competitions in
tent pitching, fire building, wall seal
ing, signaling. tower and bridge build
ing and demonstrations Of first aid
and life-saving.
The great success Of the Boy Scout
movement has naturally created the
demand for much wider and more
rapid extension of the benefits of the
movement to the boys not alres 4y
reached and the objective Of Boy
Scout week will be to stimulate. this
interest.

The report of recent Camel meet
ing wherein Assemblyman Anderson is
censured for his action in voting for
the ratification of the National Pro-
hibition Amendment places Mr.. An
derson in the light of having failed to
carry out his prediction promise. The
statements made by the speakers at
this meeting were either intended to do
wilful injustice to Assemblyman An
derson, or they we're not familiar with
the assemblyman's position on the
liquor question, or on past legislation
on the subject.
Before the last election Mr.. Ander-
son frequently told the writer that he
was in favor of a referendum Of the
liquor question, that he believed that
the governor erred when he vetoed the
referendum measure after it had pass
ed both legislative bodies of the pre-
vious session.
In the meantime, Congress passed
the national amendment which was to
be submitted to the state for rati-
fication. When the assemblymen reach
ed Madison he found the liquor men,
(who two years before had so con-
sistently worked to defeat referendum
working for submission Of the sub
ject before legislative action could be
taken
This inconsistent action, and dis
honest attitude of the liquor forces so
incensed the majority of the members

question, therefore, was not ref

the Constitution be ratified or not?"

twenty years, and / know that he is a
very predetermined man, and one who
would consider all sides of question
before making his decision; and /
know that his decision would be made
according to the dictates of his own
conscience, regardless of what effect
the same would have on any future am
billions he might have.
All Mr.. Anderson could do was to
vote Eyes" or "no" on the question of
the adoption of the amendment. AS
two-third of the members had been re-
turned under pledge to vote for the
adoption, the sentiment prevailed that
the state had. in returning these in
structed representatives, expressed in
no uncertain terms its stand on this
subject, and further action was deem
ed unnecessary. Mr.. Anderson, seeing
that the people of the state had prac-
tically voted in favor Of prohibition by
returning this pledged majority, could
vote no other than Eyes" and repre-
sent and maintain the respect of the
respectable business men of the coun-
ty, and the wishes of a majority of the
people.

Defines Industrial Relations.
In the opening address made by Cy-
rus Mccormick, Jr., manager Of works,
International Harvester company, of
Chicago, the term industrial rela-
tions" was defined as a new term COIN
ed to cover what used to be known as
labor problems. Industrial relations
are concerned with settling labor dis
putes, getting the right man in the
right place, the broad problem of
training future industrial generations,
caring for all the new phases of per-
sonal relationship which have arisen
out of the discovery of the overwheln-
ing Importance of the human side of
business, the development Of future
executive talent, and also what used
to be known as the welfare program
Of any company.
Mr.. Mccormick also said the indus
trial relations is phase OF industry
much broader than merely hiring a
sman and putting him to work. Those

ings today. These related to Ameri-
canization, shop and works committees,
how many hours per day, industrial
relations, department costs, co-opera-
tive stores, personal aid to workers,
insurance and bonus plans, stock pur-
chase, coordination with educational
institutions, job specifications and job
analysis, and employment Office meth

Community conditions affecting la
Dor stability and the foremen of the
present and future will be taken up
for discussion tomorrow. On Friday,
the last day Of the convention, organ
lied labor in industry, what the work
ingman wants, and what the manage
ment wants, will be further subjects of
addresses.

Of Labor, Ottawa, will close the con-
vention with an address Friday night

To the editor of the Kenosha Even
ing News:
In answer to Captain Fountain Of
the coast guard in regard to criticism
following the drowning Of Clarence
Donahue, do not believe that there
could be too much criticism. must
dispute the statement that the boy was
drowned at point out of sight of the
life saving sation. He was drowned
in front of the station doors and just
across the river, and had any member
of the crew been on duty at the sta
ton he might have been saved. Very
true, there is a shortage of men, but
at that it doesn't take three men to
watch the pier. One should have been
on duty at the station. AS the Cap
tain said, the dock was black with
children. If he knew that why WASH.
he on the lookout for the children. /
think that this is one of the things
that the government employs coast
guard for. The care of these children
should be the first care of the coast
guard. It was in other years, anS it
should be now.

TREAT ALL ALIKE
Is Law DECREE
Gas Co. Must Get Order
from Kenosha Before
Plants Are Shut Off.
NO COAL IN SIGHT

In plans to shut off industrial plants
in the city in order to avoid the danger
OF gas famine, the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric company find that it must
md way around the Wisconsin law
which provides against discrimination
on the part of utility companies.
Under this law the company would not
have the right to shut off service from
industrial plants in order to keep up
the domestic supply. It is possible
that the action could be taken under
an order from the Wisconsin Railroad
commission. 1t could be done with
the consent of the managers of the in
dustrial plants and it is believed that
this consent would be given if Keno
sha homes were actually facing
the consequences which would follow
a gas famine.
Keep Pressure Up Here.
1t was declared this morning that
the conditions in Kenosha were not
nearly so serious as they were in Ra-
cine. The supply of coal for the Ra-
cine plant is being pieced out to go as
far as possible and Kenosha customers
are getting most of the gas they use
from the local plant. This morning
the big container was filled to its full
capacity. The men at the plant de-
yclared that coal was not necessary to
keep the Kenosha gas plant in opera
ton as coke is used largely in the max
ing of gas here. 1t was stated this
morning that the Kenosha plant had
experienced no trouble in getting coke
and that it is not anticipating any
trouble along this line. It was also
declared that unless serious trouble
developed at the plant the local plant
could take care of the demands of Ke-
nosha for domestic consumption if q
way could be found to relieve the plant
of the heavy industrial load.
Milwaukee Close to Closing.
1t was declared that the Milwaukee
plant was experiencing great difficult
ties in getting coal and that the Racine
plant which supplies much of the Ke-
nosha supply was in about the same
condition. The companies have been
fighting against cutting off of the
supply for months and it is thought
that when the crisis comes some way
will be found out of the difficulty with
out the complete elimination of the
service. The railroad commission has
not as yet been appealed to for the
elimination of any service.

THOUSANDS HAVE
KIDNEY TROUBLE AND
NEVER SUSPECT IT
Applicants For Insurance Often
Rejected

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
tions. The mild and healing influ-
ence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
and large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation, send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton N.
Y, for sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention this paper.
