Put Delay i'm
Plans of Cupid
Ralph Vena Agrees to Postpone His
Wedding Pending Word from
affidavit Wife"

Cupid had delay put in his plans
for a wedding in Kenosha on Monday
evening. Ralph Vena, the young Ke-
nosha Italian who had planned to
Mrs. Caroline Passarelli at the Holy
Rosary church, has decided onethe adj
vice of his attorney to await an ans
wer to letter recently sent to the
Italian young woman now on the At
lantic, who claims to be his wife by
affidavit. Attorney Calvin Stewart, to
whom Vena has gone for legal advice,
declares that it is his belief that the
affidavit marriage plan" was a war
measure in Italy and that the measure
has been recalled. If such is the case
no action could be taken to prevent
Vena from marrying the Kenosha
woman, who has promised to we'd him.
Vena wishes to avoid all complica-
tons and he has written to the young
woman now overseas, explaining the
complications that have arisen. "She
had delayed so long, I did not think
she was coming" Vena told his
attorney.
1t is possible that the young woman
will be held at Ellis Island until the
case has been cleared up. In the
meanwhile Vena's wedding plans have
been indefinitely postponed.

"OPEN SHOP" Is
NOT in EFFECT
Master Builders Continue
to do 'WatchfuI Wait
ing" in Crisis.
NO WORK is STOPPED

Confusion reigned this morning in
the building industry in Kenosha.
theoretically the master builders Of
Kenosha have put into effect their I'LL
timatum to established the "open
shop" in Kenosha unless the building
trades unions agreed to the $100 an
hour wage, schedule which has been
offered to them. In practice, however,
the master builders are still doing
some "watchful waiting, as one of
the members explained the situation
and the "open shop" has not been Of
ficially established here.
There were few buildings in Keno
sha where work was being done this
morning and for that reason it was
hard to determine what effect the ulti-
matum had had on the situation.
Work Continues on Church.
Work was continuing on the new
Lutheran church being erected on How
land avenue at the old scale of S1.12h
an hour, but but it was explained that
this had been an exception to the rule
laid down by the master builders and
that it had been understood from the
first that this contract was to be
finished at the old rate. No instance
could be found where either workmen
had refused to work today or where
contractors had attempted to establish
the new wage schedule.
1t was also learned today that the
scale for the masons had been held in
allegiance and there is danger that they
will not accept the offer of $100 an
hour, as was thought probable week
ago. 1t was explained that investiga-
tion was under way to find the scale
paid in neighboring cities and that
the result of this investigation would
have an important bearing on the
agreement to be reached.

Berlin-Germans regard the repara-
ton terms as fantastic and impossible
OF execution, and it is the general
opinion the government cannot agree
to them. The cabinet, which received
the text of the allied note yesterday,
was in executive session until late last
night. Madness" is the term leaders
of the Reichstag in discussing the con-
ditions. Foreign Minister Simons de-
clared the execution of the terms
would produce chaos, not only in Ger
many, but throughout Central Europe,
as the bankruptcy of Germany would
also bankrupt part of Germany's war
creditors among whom is France. 1t is
greatly to be deplored that the great
American nation was only bystander
during the negotiations concerning re-
parations. The settlement of this
question determines the fate of the
worlds economies"

KenOsIla Scout
Saved Mans Life
Muskegon Man Declares That Boy
Scout Here Prevented Him from
Being Killed.

1t was Kenosha Boy Scout, who by
first aid work, prevented Robert Simp-
son, son of Atty. and Mrs. William
Simpson Of Muskegon, Mich, from
being killed here recently in railway
accident, according to the, statement
made by Mr.. Simpson, who has now
partially recovered. The account of
the affairIis given in a Muskegon pa
per as follows:
Robert Simpson, son of Attorney
and Mrs. William Simpson of Muske-
gon, Mich, who was seriously injured
in railroad accident at Kenosha,
Wis, owes his life to the prompt first
aid of Boy Scout, whose identity is
not known. After MIR. Simpson had
fallen from a platform in the dark di-
rectly in front of the approaching
train, many persons stood about, be-
lieving him to be dead. One leg had
been severed. A boy wearing the uni
form of Boy Scout appeared and,
while the others stood about, quickly
jumped to the side of the injured boy,
tore part of his own shirt from his
body and fastened it about the limb,
stopping the flow of blood. Then the
boy just as quickly disappeared. Mrs.
Simpson, who recently returned from
Kenosha, was told by several persons
of the work of the boy and she made
every effort to locate him, but without
success. 1t was believed for several
days that Mr.. Simpson would not re-
cover. He is still in the hospital at
Kenosha, but it is now believed that
he will make good recovery"

who doubt by sending an unopened
bottle to the laboratory, where it will
be tested. The following. results were

ARMISTICE DAY
Is NO HOLIDAY
Indefinite Postponement of Bill Max
ing November IL Legal Holt
day Made by Legislature.
(By United Pressl

tBy United Press)
Madison-A bill making Armistice
day, November II, legal holiday was
indefinitely postponed in the Senate
today by vote of II to s. The COM
mittee on state affairs recommended
postponement on the grounds that the
state had enough legal holidays and
that Armistice Day came too near
Thanksgiving. 1t is understood that
the American Legion posts were said
to be back of the bill. The economy
wave came to the forefront again to-
day when members were cut down to
fifty road maps instead of two humid
red as provided for in the joint reso-
luton. The senator's said che cost of
two hundred maps would be $4,000
and by limiting each member to fifty
maps the cost would be held down to
$11, 305. The amendment resolution
was referred for further consideration.

After being confined for three years
in German prison as a prisoner of
war, Christian Merz, aged 80 years, a
son-in-law of Gottfried Schaefer of
Adams street, is seeking chance to
come to this country in order that he
may start an investigation to learn
the fate of his wife, son, and daugh-
ter, who were caught when the hordes
of bolshevists over-ran Russia. Merz
is now at Oldenburg, in Germany, fol-
lowing his recent release as a prisoner
IF war and this morning Schaefer APP
pealed to the clerk of the circuit court
for aid in securing affidavits by which
Merz may come to this country. He
was seconded in his appeal to the Off
Gals by the Rev. G. Buenger, pastor
of the German Lutheran church.
Merz was soldier of the allied ar
mics during the World War, but was
one of the first to be taken prisoner
by the Germans, and he has been held
in prison near Hamburg until q short
time ago when an agreement between
the Germans and the soviets made pos
sible the release of Russian prisoners
held in Germany. He is now working
in a brick yard at Oldenburg and he
has made an effort to communicate
with his family, bat has not been able
to get any word from them.
Ready to Make Affidayits.
Schaefer is not citizen of the
United States but of Russia and he is
backing on the fact that his son-in-law
served in the army of the allies to
secure consideration from this gov
eminent. 1t is probable that his APP
peal will be made directly to the Sec
rotary of state at Washington with
view of having the representatives of
the country in Germany wise passports
to be secured from the German gov
eminent and permit the man to come
to this country.
eve are not Germans, but. Russi-
ans" declared Schaefer at the Office
of the clerk of the circuit court this
morning. "More than $50 years ago
my ancestors left Germany and emf
grated to Russia and established a
home. l was born in Russia and my
daughter, Amalia, who is the wife of
Merz, if she is still living, was also
native of Russia. They were mar
ried in Russia and their home was at
Samara, not far from the Russian
Asiatic boundary. We last heard from
our daughter in 1914 and since then
All efforts to get any word to her or
from her have been without results.
We do not know whether she and the
children are alive or dead or what
their fate may have BEEN"
Served With Russian Army.
When the war opened in August of
1914, Merz left his little family and
Joined the Russian army. He cam
paigned with the soldiers Of the Gar
until the summer of 1917 when the
company in which he was serving was
captured by the Germans and he was
taken away to Germany as a prisoner
Of war. He has made no statements
in regard to treatment accorded to
him in letters received during the
present week. In these letters he de-
clares that he has been making frantic
efforts since his release from prison
to get some word of his wife and chill
dren but that he has heard nothing
from them. He declares that many
people were killed in Russia and in
the very territory where his little fam
lily resided and he fears that they may
