Milwaukee

Three weeks in Milwaukee, made
famous by beer-and now no beer!
Well, l guess so, as we had a whole
sale raid of drinking places here and
found plenty of the same old per cent
hut like the Philadelphia style, the
s1eak went out before" in many cases
Now the fight is on to find the traitor,
tho the accusations are going fast and
plenty.
I attend the Grand Avenue M. T.
Church, as they have such a strong
preacher, DIR. Hovis. 1t is a man

On the platform is a framed list OF
the names of the boys who went over
seas" from that Church. Three long
lines. The paper is framed, and IN an
easel. with a very large flag beside II.
Only one name is in gold letters,
Across the street, opposite the a
tifuI soldiers plot, there is a very
large high boarding with over 4oQ
names of the boys of the Attn ware
onIv who went over seas, with "a
names with gold stars. On the SOL
J;ers' plot there is a high bronze
statue of the civil war times with the
bovs in blue with fixed bayonets,

students. and served by them as
waters. They are wonderfully good
walters too. and n does not be-

bows, who are not above DONG Ihis
for their education, for we know tney
pet the "snubs from the snoDs" many
times. There is a wonderful museum
inst above US that | shall visit. am
also told that their Park contains a
Zoo, which is the second largeSt IN
America. | think the first must be IN
Philadelphia Of course l could not
help saying so.
Apartment houses abound every
where, and every house is also a room
ing house, for the many students must
have homes. l imagine that homes,
like at the shore in summer, are USED
in this manner during school terms.
Downer College for girls is In an
other part of the town.
3 The houses here are very large and
picturesque, with very large
and I'D on high terraces, and also
MANY small bungalows, reminding one
of the South, tho these are further
out; and plenty hotels, and more go
ing up all about.
The Elks have a spacious parking
place for cars with the sign up.
"Preference given out of town cars.
Who would not embrace this offer, as
marking is not allowed on the Avenue.
This almost makes the side streets
entirely blocked with cars standing.
Coal is SIT a ton. | happen to be
in a house not trying to save on coal;
We have been having some beautlfui
Providence-sent weather, and some
coal men are reducing the price lone
lone dollar per ton to boom trade.
Of course l catch it in dutch. The
German speaking people abound.
When l tell them | cannot speak their
language, they soon rattle off in Eng
fish. They do not want to speak Eng
lish, tho. | am told that during the
wal one did not hear German spoken
in public.
When | look at that high board with
all of those names, there must have
been many many boys of German par
entage who went over. Foreigners of
all tongues are here. They can speak
English and are very grateful for my
teaching. Up in this cold climate
later they will want the wooden gar
ments for the children's year. The
young children abound everywhere;
mostly of foreign birth. Milwaukee
is the 18th city in population in the
U. S., and they are proud of it.
