Counsel Austria to
Avoid Frontier War

Vienna Reports from Burgenland
indicate conflicts between Austrian
gendarmes and irregular Hungarian
forces which began on Sunday night
when Austrian troops sent to take con-
troll of the Burgenland district were
attacked, were not continued yesterday
Some 5000 Austrian soldiers have been
moved into the district of Mattesdorf
and will suppress disorders there but
new outbreaks of violence are looked
for, the attitude of the Hungarians be-
ing threatening. The allied powers
take the position that Austria need not
for the present concern herself over
the situation in Burgenland. The in
ter-allied commission in a statement
said Burgenland had not been Delivers
to Austria and it would not be Austria's
task to occupy it by force. 1t was said
she must wait until Hungary had full
filled her obligations and placed the
commission in position to hand over
the district to Austria. The govern
ment was counselled to reinforce its
occupational troops but was advised to
withdraw them if superior opposition
was encountered.

rant about ito be served on Mrs. Paul
Nogly, sc Congress street, whose hus-
band recently doled out hundred
and costs for half-a-jug of moon
shine found in his grocery store by
vigilent members of the sponge-squad.
According to the story told by Off
GERS today there was more than a
half-a-jug of evidence at the Noglys'
when the raid was made. The rest was
salvaged, it is alleged, by Mrs. Nogly,
who was dressing a pair of chickens
when the sponges began to fly. Casu-
ally,she is said to have poured the
contents of another jug over the lucky
birds lying supinely in dish-pan.
And so it happened that two chickens
got what poets have been raving about
for years "a bath in the moonshine."
The warrant does not state whether
or not revival followed the baptism
of spirits but it is specific in declaring
that Mrs Nogly violated the Severson
Law by destroying the evidence"

Fair Crowds.

Des Moines, Ia.-Separated from their
audiences by the width of the states
of Wisconsin and half the width of
Iowa, Gov. Kendall of Iowa and Gov
Blaine of Wisconsin by the use of wire
less telephones and sound amplifers,
exchanged greetings with one another
and each spoke to the crowds at the
others state fair.
Gov. Kendall spoke first, addressing
the crowds at the Wisconsin state fair
at Milwaukee in the following words
"The two and half million citizens
of Iowa, congregation by the tens of
thousands at Des Moines, in full en-
joyment of the greatest agricultural
exposition ever witnessed in the world,
extend most cordial salutations to YOU
and your wonderful people assembled
with similar purpose at Milwaukee. We
earnestly hope that the imperial COM
monwealth you represent with such
distinction may experience an unbroken
era of prosperity, contentment and hap
piness."
Governor Blaine within a few min
utes after the Iowa executive had con-
cluded, replied by saying:
"The great state of Wisconsin ac-
knowledges with pleasure the cordial
greetings extended by the thriving
commonwealth of Iowa. Citizens of the
Badger state are assembled at their
great annual exposition here and thew
most cordially extend greetinps RI thai
neighbors of Iowa. May your great ex-
position and state continue to progress
as they have in the past and may our
two states continue to hold their places
as model units of the worlds greatest
nation"
The sound amplifiers placed in front
of the grandstand here made the voice
of the Wisconsin executive plain to
thousands despite the distance.

Alderman Charles Anderson of the
third ward appeared as the defender
of the aldermanic form of government
at the meeting of the Rotary Club on
Tuesday, his address being the first to
be given in defense of the present form
of government of the city. The adj
dress of Alderman Anderson was an
nounced as a presentation of the best
features Of the aldermanic form OF
government, although the alderman
himself strong supporter of more
centralized government.
at is the other side of the story"
said Alderman Anderson in presenting
his argument. "The best way to study
any question is to study it's weakness
and the strength of the thing proposed
against it. The only way that we can
reach decision as to what form of
government is best for Kenosha is for
us to compare the one proposed with
the one we have both as to its adj
vantages and as to its faults. Both
forms of government will bear exam
nation"
While Alderman Anderson was not
credited with winning the debate and
while the majority of the club joined
with Judge Taylor in declaring IN favor
of a council-manager form, the careful
presentation made by Alderman Ander-
Son won much attention. He said in
part:
"The proponents and supporters OF
the city manager plan of government
advises us that under the city manager
plan the responsibility for the success
of each several branch of the munich
pality resting upon one man, greater
efficiency is obtained in service; that
strict business principles are invoked
and that consequently great financial
saving results to the taxpayer.
Under the city manager form, the
manager is the chief executive othcer
Of the city and head Of the administra-
ton; possessing and exercising all the
executive and general administrative
powers imposed and conferred by law
and upon the various boards, commits
sions and officers in force in such city;
with full power to create minor admin
istrative offices and positions and to
discontinue such offices and positions
according to his judgment; he has full
and absolute power to appoint all the
heads of departments without the adj
vice or consent of the mayor or coun-
ell; also all subordinate city officials
and all city employees and to remove
any such appointee at any time and at
will when the services are unsatisfac-
Jry to the city manager; he must APP
point the city clerk, treasurer, assessor,
city engineer, city attorney, and in fact
all city officials and employees, fix
their compensation, and remove them
or either or any of them at will and
instanter; in short, he is the supreme
dictator with full authority and pre-
sumed attribute of infallibility; not
answerable to the people but subject
to removal after time by the council;
but has no power or jurisdiction over
the board of education, if the council
has no such power, jurisdiction or con-
troll at the time of the adoption of the
manager form of government. He may

Islands when appointed, an alien, OF

only qualification being that he salts

What is your favorite summer resort
ANSWERS:
T. H. Hoye, All Pomeroy-st., student
I think Twin Lakes offers the most
convenient and attractive facilities for
swimming, boating, fishing, and now
with the new pavilion, it is mecca for
the fun-seeking people on week-ends.
j. Barber, 739 Durkee-ave., jobless.-
always go to Twin Lakes when / want
good time over the weekend. The
pavilion and dance music there can't be
beat. Put in word for-the lighting
system at the pavilion, too.
|. Walker, Elizabeth-st., jobless.-
Give me good old Lake Michigan when
it's warm and I'm satisfied. l guess
have to be now, because | couldn't go
out to a summer resort now-unless
everything was free. Lake Michigan
and Elizabeth street and the Simmons
ball park give me all the amusement
/ want.
Miss M. MacLaren, 827 Park-st., clerk.
We have cottage at Silverlake and
that's where spend my Saturdays and
Sundays now. It's such diversion to
be able to go out to some lake and be
away from all business and home cares
for day or two. A person is ready
to tackle his work harder on Monday
morning after good rest at the lakes.
I'm surprised more people don't take
advantage of it.
Miss A. G., Kenosha, student.-Pe-
waukee and Waukesha Beach for me,

fort and entertainment of the visitors.
And they have some crowd out there
