RECORD GIVEN OUT.
lRu limited Preasl

Washington The record of the
statement of President Wilson was
given out at the White House today.
AS quoted in the transcript given out
here today, the president said during
the course of his remarks concerning
guarantees of world peace: How can
power like the United States for ex-
ample, for I can speak of no other,
after signing this treaty, if it contains
elements which they do not believe
will be permanent, go three thousand
miles away across the sea and report
to its people that it has made a set
Element of the peace of the world? 1t
cannot do SO. And yet there underlies
all of these transactions the expecta-
tion on the part, for example of Ru-
mania and of Czecho-Slovakia and Of
Serbia, if any covenants of this settle
ment are not observed, the United
States will send her armies and her
navies to see that they are observed"

KenOsha's Babes
in Woods Found
Texas Guinnan, Movie Actress, Has
Nothing on These Young Kenosha
Ladies.

Last Saturday afternoon, Grace and
Cecile Schmorrow, aged 10 and 10,
1908 South Sheridan road, sailed forth
from the family residence and decided
to institute little party of their own.
Accordingly they hired two horses
from the Johnson livery stable on Park
and Exchange SITS, and set out. Moth
ing was heard from them until this
morning when they turned up at home,
tired and hungry, and willing to let
the discovery of other worlds be made
by other persons. They stated that no
more they would road and that CLONE
Sweet Home" was the most beautiful
song ever composed.
The father of the girls this after
noon said that it had just been a child
ish prank. He said that there was no
truth to the report that the two girls
had been kidnapped. "We don't know
just where the girls went" said Mr.
Schmorrow "They haven't told US yet.
We were worried about them and are
glad enough to have them home to let
it pass without further comm ent."
The girls told friends that they had
gone for a ride and that no one had
interfered with their pleasures. The
girls had spent their visit at farm
on the Green Bay road north of Keno
sha.

SOME HESITATETO
FILE FOR MEDALS
Only Small Proportion of
Soldiers Made Application
for Victory Medals.
ARE WORKS OF ART

Victory Medals are being applied for
so slowly by ex-service men that Major
General P. G. Harris, the adjutant gem
eral of the army, has notified the Of
ficers in charge of the distribution to
make the utmost effort to reach all
who deserve it. It is estimated that
3,757,624 men who served in the army
are entitled to the medal, but to date
only 379,214, or about ten per cent of
the number, have applied Applica-
tions are coming in at the rate of only
$500 day, which is far below the
capacity for issue Of the working crew
in the Philadelphia general supply de-
pot. The quartermaster has put on a
large force, and these men are
being held at much expense to the
government.
Easy to Apply.
at is no more difficult to make out
form for the Victory Medal" an
nounces General Harris, ethan it is to
fill out a money order blank. This
form verifes the recipients service
and his present whereabouts. 1t will
prevent the medals from falling into
the wrong hands. The governments
gift is work of art, not a bauble, and
has intrinsic as well as sentimental
value. 1t cannot be sent out to I'M
verified addresses, any more than Lib
erty Bonds or war insurance checks,
many of which have been lost before
reaching the addressee, in spite of all
possible care.
How to Do It.
"The ex-service man has only to ap-
ply at the nearest army post or re-
cruiting officer in his home town, or
through any patriotic society, such as
the American Legion or the Veterans
of Foreign Wars. Here he will be
shown how to fill out his blank, and if
his discharge papers are correct, the
application is forwarded direct to Phil
adelphia and the medal mailed within
week. Hundreds Of applicants have
given wrong addresses, and many
medals are returned daily by the post
Office because the men cannot be To-
Gated"
For service in the United States
117,194 medals have been issued to
date, and 1902 for service in foreign
countries. There have been 56,O05
medals with three battle clasps issued,
and $3.50 with two battle clasps.
These are the largest numbers of all
with battle cIasns. which range from
one to eleven. There have been 81
medals issued with nine clasps, nine
medals with ten clasps, and two with
eleven clasps.
The American Legion makes no is
tinction between members and nom
members in the Victory Medal distri-
button. There are also special blanks
for the next of kin, in order that the
relatives may obtain the decorations
for those who were killed in action,
or who died in line of duty.

PAINTERS FIRM
FOR new SCALE
Painters Insist Scale of
SIPS an Hour Shall Com
tinue in Force.
HOLD MEETING SOON


The contest between the painters
union and the painter contractors over
the wage scale was brought in the
limelight again on Monday evening
when representatives of the contrac-
tors appeared before the meeting of
the Building Trades Council in an eff
fort to show that the present indus
trial situation made it impossible to
grant this increase. The Building
Trades Council heard the statements
of the committee but took no action on
them, declaring that the proposition
was one which the union painters at
their meeting on next Thursday even
ing must settle for themselves.
The committee Of contractors, it is
said, declared that the change in the
local situation had made the former
wage of $1.00 an hour for painters a
just one and that painters, like car
penters, should realize the situation
and be ready to accept the wage.
Contractors Seek Painters.
Several days ago the contractors mo-
titled the painters that unless they
were willing to accept work at the old
scale of $1.00 an hour, they would be
forced to declare "open shop" and
would take steps to secure non-union
painters. The only step taken thus far
is that some of the contractors are
now advertising for painters at the
old scale, but it is said that they will
be willing to take all union men at the
old wage.
The painters insist that they are rea-
sonable in their demands and when it
is taken into consideration that they
have long idle season, it is necessary
for them to secure $1.25 during the
busy season in order to meet the high
prices. They insist that they have not
been able to discern any great decrease
in the cost of living and that they will
stand by their contracts calling for
S1.25 an hour.
In several instances during the past
week, the owners of the property I'M
der construction have guaranteed the
painters the higher wage and have kept
the men at work in this way.
