VICTORY MEDALS
TO BE GIVEN OUT
Government Urges All Elk
Service Men to File APP
plications at Once.
SEE THE RED CROSS

The United States government is
making especial efforts to place a vic.
tory medal in the hands of every en-
listed man and officer of the Urited
States who served in the World War
between April 6, 1917 and Novem Der
IL, 1918. Field Clerk A. T. Garner is
at the present time in Kenosha speed
ing up the work of applications of men
who served in the World War and is
cooperating fully with the local army
recruiting Office and the American Red
Cross,
Many Entitled to Medal.
The state of Wisconsin had over
hundred thousand men who served in
the World War and each and every one
of them is entitled to a victory medal
Up to the present time only II 900 ap-
plications have been received and
1900 medals distributed. This is not
allowing the Milwaukee recruiting
Office to work at its capacity and every
effort should be made by the ex-service
man to obtain his medal
Overseas Service Not Required.
The American Red Cross, the Ameri-
can Legion and any navy or army re-
cruIting station will handle your ap-
plication and file it for you. The time
required to obtain your medal is about
one week and in filling out the appli-
cation be sure and mention all the en-
gagements you were in overseas. Men
who did not serve overseas are enti-
tied to the victory medal There has
been some Misunderstanding about
this and it is the intention of the gov
eminent to remove all this doubt. If
you served in the army, marine corps
or the navy between April 6, 1917 and
November IL, 1918, you are entitled to
a victory medal, whether you served
overseas or not.
Families of soldiers who died in the
camps in the United States and the
families of soldiers killed in action in
France are entitled to receive the med
al that would have otherwise gone to
the soldier. The next of kin of the
deceased soldier is asked to make the
application.

GROTSKY HAS HIS
FRIENDS COURT
New Petition Supporting
Request for License
Faces Council.
GETS TWO WEEKS MORE

There is some difference of opinion
existing among the residents of Newell
street regarding the kind of "tent-
perance saloon" which is being con-
Quoted by Samuel Grotsky and Joseph
Ruppa at 557 Newell street. The city
council got some evidence of this fact
OIL Monday evening at the regular
meeting and as result Grotsky has
another two weeks to continue his
place of business in operation before
coming before the council to support
his claim for license or to give rea-
son why his license should not be re-
voked.
It's mixed-up affair. At the last
meeting of the council, petition was
presented, signed by 81 of the property
owners in the vicinity of the Grotsky
saloon, asking that the license be re-
voked.
Not at All Complimentary.
The remarks they made about the
Grotsky place of business were not at
all in keeping with the provisions Of
the prohibition amendment or the Vol
stead act. They intimated that some
thing containing more than one-haH of
one per cent must be being dispensed
there since they declared "that men in
an intoxicated condition had been seen
frequently leaving the place"
Acting on tins pet2vlon the council
ordered Grotsky to appear on Monday
night and give reason why his license
should not be revoked. Grotsky did
appear but he did not have to give any
reason why his license should not be
granted.
Other Side of the Story.
He had some friends at court" An
other petition was presented, this one
signed by 107 property owners said to
be in the neighborhood Of the Grotsky
place of business and according to
them the saloon" has been model
soft drink establishment. eve regard
said business as convenience to the
respective signers," said this new pc
tition. eve have not at any time seen
the above mentioned place of business
misconducted or in any way an offensa
to respectable neighborhood."
This petition made it look like "a
boss of a different color" to many of
the aldermen. They were willing to
give the last petitioners the same lee
way that they had given the others
namely grant Grotsky two more weeks
before a hearing in order that it would
be fair to all concerned. Alderman
Cox, however, wanted to keep the order
passed at the last meeting. 81 don't
know whether this man Grotsky is sell
ing moonshine, sunshine or monkey
snine," said Alderman Cox, "but do
know that we ordered him to appear
ana we want to hear from him now.
Goes to the Committee.
Alderman Cox, however, was in the
minority and the council voted to have
the two petitions referred to the com
mittee on licenses and all to be re-
ported on at the next meeting of the
council. In the meanwhile the commit
tee has been instructed to look Up the
names on each petition and see which
one really represents the sentiment of
the property owners of the community.

SEND KENOSHAN
INTO WAR ZONE
Captain David Theleen is
Ordered to SebastopOl to
Aid Americans.
COMMANDS "ST. LOUIS

Captain David Theleen, commander
of the United States battleship "St.
Louis" and the ranking navy officer
from Kenosha, is going to have an OPP
portunity to be in the midst of the
fighting which is now going on in
Russia between the troops of General
Wrangel and the bolsheviki. Word was
received here this morning by Oscar
Theleen, brother of the captain, stat
ing that the "St. Louis had been or
dered to proceed at once>to Sebastopol,
the port which is now being evacuated
by the forces of General Wrangel.
Captain Theleen has been directed to
go to Sebastopol to protect American
interests and American citizens there.
Battleships of all the allied nations
have been ordered to the port for the
purpose of aiding in restoring order
out Of the chaos which has arisen there
following the siege.
Has Great Responsibility.
THE Kenosha naval officer will have
great responsibilities at the Russian
port and the fact that his battleship
was selected to perform the important
work is tribute to his ability. A
former letter from Captain Theleen
declared that he was at a French
Mediterranean port where he was coal
ing while waiting for orders.
1t is expected that the "St. Louis"
while it will not be called upon to, do
any actual fighting, will be put into
use to transfer American citizens from
the besieged city to place of safety
and will be in a position to secure the
recognition of the rights of American
citizens there.

APPEAL IS SENT
BY RED CROSS
KenOsha County Urged to
Keep Up Good Work
in Red Cross.
is FOURTH ROLL CALL

Every person in Kenosha county
who has ever been a member Of the
American Red Cross is urged to re-
new his membership in the appeal
which has been sent out by the Keno
sha county branch of the organization.
The fourth annual roll call of the or
ganization is now being taken and all
who have ."heart and a. dollar" can
again become enrolled for another year
as members of the organization.
The first day of the campaign was
Armistice Day. In Kenosha county
more than two hundred persons heard
the appeal that day and sent in their
dollars and membership cards to the
Red Cross headquarters in Kenosha.
The letter which explained the pres
ent call of the Red Cross as sent
out to many former members of the
organization, read as follows:
Dear Red Cross Member:-This is
Armistice Day! Do you remember
how you were thrilled when two years
ago word was flashed over the entire
world that so far as actual fighting
was concerned the war was over. The
wonderful achievement of the Ameri-
can soldier is a matter of history as
is also the magnificent work of The
American Red Cross during the war,
but do you realize that since the Ar
mistice the work of the Red Cross in
behalf of the men who have returned
broken down in health, if not crippled
for life, has BEEN constant.
Two years have passed since the
eventful day, November 18th, 1918, and
yet the work continues. In our own
community, we see men who have come
back to US, some handicapped in evil
dent ways, others completely disabled,
many unable to take up life's work
with the old vigor and vivacity. The
work still to be done in Europe is
stupendous. We have started a task
there which must be completed. We
must finish our job. We must keep
our word.
Could dollar buy more? We know
that thousands of Kenosha people de-
sire to renew their membership in the
largest organization in the world. Use
the enrolment card send it or bring it
with your annual dues to the Red Cross
headquarters 225 Main street Kenosha.
Yours with Heart and Dollar,
The American Red Cross,
w. j. Frost, Chairman.
Former members Of the Red Cross
in Kenosha county who wish to renew
their membership, may mail their re-
mittance with their name and address
to the offices in Kenosha and a 1921
Red Cross button will be sent back
