was declared with Germany and aus
trla and each time that they returned
to be examined they were told that
they must wait until the hostilities had
been officially ended. The recent proc
lamation of President Harding, termin-.
atlng the war, made it possible for all
of these "hold overs" to be admitted
to full citizenship today.
The episode presents many peeuliari-
ties. In the ranks of those who are
termed as "alien enemies" are many
Kenoshans who distinguished them
selves for service at home during the
war days and who in the five years past
have proven in many ways their al1e-
glance to the country which they have
adopted but in which they were denied
citizenship because of the fact that
they were born in nation at war with
America. This fact placed many Of
these persons under close surveillance
during the war and while this made
them open to considerable embarass-
ment, it also taught them the real
value of citizenship in this country and
has resulted in many seeking admission
to citizenship.
Fifty at a Time.
The class of new citizens is so large
that all of them cannot be examined
at once. The government has sent a
special representative to Kenosha to
conduct the last examinations of the
men before they are sworn into full
rights and responsibilities of citizen
ship. This morning fifty of the class
were ordered to report and were ex-
amined. This afternoon sixty more
will be called and so on for several
days until the entire number has been
examined. The fact that many of the
applicants have sought admission for
many years makes it improbable that
a large percentage of them will be re-
fused admission, since most of them
have become very much Americanized
during their stay in America.
This morning Attorney John F.
Kuehnl addressed the candidates upon
the Importance of the step which they
were taking. He told of the meaning
of the flag and of the constitution of
the United States and warned all that
they should prize the ideals of America
and assist this country in maintaining
them. This afternoon Attorney C. E.
Randall made the address before the
class. On Thursday Attorneys G. A.
Mittelstaed and Judge Joseph Clarkson
have been asked to address the sec
tions of the classes with other Keno
sha attorneys to speak later in the
week. The ceremony is being made as
impressive as possible to emphasize the
value of citizenship to the new Ameri-
cans.
Many Attended Night School.
Many of those who are seeking adj
mission to citizenship have patiently
prepared by night school classes for
the passing of the examinations which
are now being conducted. Attorney
Lewis F. Powell has assisted many Of
these in preparing for the tests and
in coaching them on the true meaning
of Americanism and its principles Of
government.
Judge E. B. Belden came to Kenosha
this morning to preside over the cere-
monies and direct in the admission Of
the largest class of new Americans
ever entered at one time as citizens in
Kenosha county.

One Hundred and Eighty Former Alien En-
emies Start to Be Admitted to
Citizenship Today.
HELD OVER SINCE PRE-WAR DAYS
Many of the Applicants Have Waited Long for Second
Papers Because of the War-NearIy Four
Hundred in the Class

Kenosha was busy today starting the
work of officially "burying the Ratchet"
with Germany, so far as this county is
concerned. This was being done by
admitting to full American citizenship
former residents and citizens of Ger
many and Austria, who since war days
have been debarred from taking out
their second papers because of the
fact that the United States was at war
with their native land.
There are 1870 former "alien enemies"
in the ranks of those who started to
go through the last mill before being
granted full citizenship. The entire
class consists of 377, all of whom are
to be examined during the remainder
of the week before Judge Belden be-

piece of paper which will mark them
as real Americans.
Many of these were just ready to

B0ULEV ARD BUS
HERE THURSDAY
Boulevard Transportation
Co. Connects Ken0sha
and Racine by Auto.
TO RUN TRUCKS SOON

The first of the large White trucks
to start a passenger transporting serv-
ice between Kenosha and Racine, ar
rived. in Kenosha this afternoon and
will begin its schedule of trips on
Thursday morning, July 14th, at seven
thirty o'clock.
Considerable efforts have been made
in the past to start the bus service
between the two cities and it was only
until it was assured that there was a
call for such an innovation in trans
portation that the officials of one Of
the large bus companies consented to
put a bus in operation between Keno
sha and Racine on trial.
Will Add More Trucks.
AS soon as the demand for use CT
these trucks is sufficient several more
trucks will be added so that the serv-
ice will be as complete and as con-
venient as on any other line connect
ing the two cities. Each truck has a
capacity of twenty persons, and is
most comfortably equipped with every
riding convenience. Safety appliances
are placed on each truck and every pre-
caution is taken to prevent any acct
dent. Each driver, before he is per-
mitted to take over complete charge
of truck is schooled in all the phases
of automobile control and ''road court
esy' at the headquarters of the Boule-
ward Transportation company at Min
neapolis.
The company has control of all bou-
levard transportation between the Twin
Cities in Minnesota and their success
there has made a demand for their
services and trucks in other cities.
Six Trips Day.
The schedule for the Kenosha service
begins at seven-thirty o'clock each
morning and six trips are made during
the day. On special occasions the
truck will be on the road ofteper. The
same truck will leave Monument
Square at Racine at seven-t thirty in
the morning for Kenosha. The oddity
in time is accounted for by the fact
that Racine is operating under central
time. Trips are made thereafter at
nine-thirty eleven-thirty, three o'clock,
three-thirty and fve-thirty.
The trucks are equipped with bell
/ system similar to that on street cars.
Passengers will be permitted to enter
the bus and leave the bus from any
points on the road to or from Racine
The price of ticket is thirty cents.

Who Took Kent S
Silk Stockings?

The moral to this story is: Don't
buy silken hose. For confirmation of
that, call D. Kent, 719 Prairie avenue,
who yesterday purchased twelve pairs
of silk socks. His car was parked in
front of S. R. Gordons at the corner
of Church and Market square, where
he had made some purchases. The silk
socks had been left in the car and
when Kent returned, the socks were
gone. "They were Black Cats" Kent
said, land l hope that whoever took
them will get the benefit Of all the bad
luck that twelve Of them can bring"
The police are on the lookout for silk
hose

Larsen Brothers, Contrac-
tors, Awarded Contract
for Seven Portables.
FEW TEACHERS RESIGN
Several designations Accepted
and a Few Appointments
Made by School Board.

Larsen Brothers were awarded the
contract of building seven new porta-
Bile school buildings for the Salem ave-
nue. annex to the city school system
by the school board at its regular ses-
sion in the Administration building
last night There was some little dis
cussion as to whom the contract was
to be given as it is known that Larsen
has had some trouble in the past with
securing workmen.
1t was one of the stipulations of the
school board that the contract be given
to contractors employing union labor.
1t was put to vote last night and was
decided that the contract should be
awarded to lowest bidder, regardless
of whether union laborers were EN-.
ployed This action followed a thor
ough discussion of the subject by the
school board The price set on the
buildings was $4,000.
Takes Up Peterson Bill.
Other miscellaneous business was
taken up and disposed of by the school
board. President Jay Glerum mention.
ed briefly the Peterson bill recently
passed by the state legislature and
also signed a few days ago by the gov
ernor. The Peterson bill cuts the Ke-
nosha school board in half and has
other commendable features that the
president pointed out. Minor contracts
for repairing of buildings during the
summer were awarded.
Teachers Resign.
There were several designations be-
fore the school board last night Among
them were those of the Misses Frances
Quinn and Naomi Tanning Anglin of
the junior high school The resigna-
ton of R. P Guetzloe, who was in
charge of the physical training of the
Balm school, was accepted. The resig-
nation of Miss Helen Peterson of the
elementary schools was also accepted,
other designations were not taken up,
but it is thought that there will be
more as the vacation time lengthens.
Margaret Howe and Opal Garnder
were recommended by the teachers
committee for positions in the junior
high school as was Mildred Dunsmore.
Margaret Converse, Eleanor Berendson
and Mary E. Dowell for the grades.
In the senior high school, Elizabeth
Macklen was employed as was Leah
Williams for the domestic science de-
partment.

PERARDI GONE
NO INVENTORY
,
Priests Absence Prevents
Check-Up of Holy
Rosary Properties.
WILL RETURN FRIDAY

When Sheriff Rauen had made all
plans to check up the property of the
Holy Rosary parish early this after
noon, it was discovered that the Rev.
Peter Perardi was out of the city and
that the inventory would have to be
postponed until his return on Friday.
At that time the sheriff and his aids
will inspect the equipment of the
church and parish preparatory to re-
opening in the near future.
This action will follow the regular
check-up of the church's property made
by representatives of the archbishop
on Tuesday afternoon and will free the
sheriff of further responsibility for
the properties of the parish.
No PronOuncement from Perardi.
There is still considerable specula
ton as to who will preside at the first
services. Neither the agents of the
archbishop nor the friends Of the Rev.
Peter Perardi had made any statement
on the matter at late hour this after
noon and it was considered improbable
that anything definite would be an
nounced this week. In the meantime
every possible effort is being made to
meet the conditions made by the arch
bishop insofar as they do not conflict
with the will of the majority of the
parish, and do not compromise the con-
victions of leaders in the revolving
faction.
Many False RumOrs Rife.
Prominent members of the church,
when consulted today, denied all the
stories of rumored violence in case the
church was not reopened in the near
future. They were characterized as
wild talk" coming from men who were
only partially familiar with the facts
involved in the Holy Rosary difficulties.
Differences are being ironed out" was
the only-specifc comment that could
be drawn from official Sources, "and
an early adjustment is expected"
1t is still a matter of conjecture as
to whether the adjustment" implies
an Italian or an American priest in
charge of reopening services; also as
to whether the celebrant. at that time
will continue to be the pastor of the
parish.
