Suggests Smoking as
Cause of Zion Fire

Rev. Thomas H. Nelson, pastor of the
Grace Missionary church in Zion, de-
mics the statement that boys belonging
to the Independent faction were re-
sponsible for burning down large
tower which stood in Shiloh Park
"Isn't it more probable to think that
some of the boys of Vo1iva's faction
burned the tower" Rev. Nelson asked
today. "This tower is near Voliva's
school and 1 have been informed on
good authority that many Of the larger
boys from this school have been hang
ing around this tower. They have
been seen to climb the ladder leading
up to it and have crawled through a
trap-door into the tower itself.
"They congregate in this tower
which they have converted into smok-
ing room as they are barred from
smoking any place else. This tower
made an excellent place for them.
Isn't it reasonable to believe that in
smoking these boys may have set fire
to the tower accidentally. Why should
this matter be charged up to the In
dependent boys when they probably
are innocent?"

Leader of the American expedition

terrible war of history and this coun-
try's greatest authority on modern war
fare, Gen. Pershing in giving his
opinion on the conference is making
an important contribution to a proper
understanding of this epochal event
General Pershing's opinions are val
liable for another reason. He is just

and England, where he decorated the
graves of the unknown French and
British soldiers with the congression-

tended the American Legion \conven-
ton. So he has had an opportunity
to judge the temper of the people of
Europe and America toward the con-
ference.
After the interviewer had asked him
for his opinions on the conference and
about the sentiment he found toward
it on his trip, Pershing prepared an
answer in written statement, typic-
ally condensed, brusque and to the
point, as he was wont to do on the
western front. His statement, initial

BRAVE STORM
FOR MEETING
People of Salem Attend
Meeting to Get Behind
Law Enforcement.
B. N. HICKS SPEAKS

A number of residents of the Salem
school district braved the storm last
night to attend the citizens council
meeting in the Salem school and hear
Attorney B. N. Hicks of Milwaukee
speak on what is an American"
Mr.. Hicks explained in a simple,
clear and forcible talk the underlying
principles of the Constitution of the
United States Of America and the
American form of government, making
clear the relation of the individual
citizen to the government.
He asserted that the Constitution of
the United States was the greatest doc
ument penned since the writing of the
Bible and that the government of the
United States was the wisest and best
form of government yet devised of man
and the only government unqualifedly
based on Christian principles.
The speaker pointed out the fact that
though nineteen amendments have
been added to the Constitution, these
amendments have all been in the ma
ture of additions, and not one of the
original principles of the Constitution
has ever been changed. He stressed
the fact that no other constitution and
no other form of government was so
admirably adapted to safeguard the
interests of all classes and guarantee
the greatest Measure of liberty in the
pursuit of happiness to everyone.
He continued by making it clear that
continued enjoyment of the advantages
guaranteed by this government and in
fact the very life of the government
and nation were dependent on the 10y
atty Of it's citizenry to the flag and
nation and respect for its laws. He
believed in clean sport, clean business
and clean politics and said that as
there can be no game without rules of
play, so there can be no nation or gov
eminent without laws, which are rules
of conduct.
In conclusion he congratulated the
citizens Of Kenosha on the recent sue
cess of their efforts in the line Of civic
housekeeping. He particularly COM
mended the work of the grand jury,
Judge Belden and the district attor-
ney's Office for their fearless and sue
cessful prosecution Of crime and graft
in Kenosha. The speaker paid a high
tribute to the local paper and its editor
for their bold stand in these matters,
attributing large measure of the
progress along these lines to the infu-
ence of this paper. He closed with a
stirring appeal for respect and observ-
ance of all laws and the support of Off
GERS in the enforcement of law.
The audience was small but enthu-
siastic and unanim ously endorsed the
work of the council, pledging support
to the. ideal of citizenship advanced.
Miss Harriet Mason, kindergarten
teacher, presided at the piano; Miss
Julia NJ. Sahaida, fourth grade teacher,
led the singing; four of Miss Maude
E. Bayler's sixth grade pupils recited
the american Greed" effectively; Prin-
cipal Ella G. Williams had charge Of
the flag contest. Interest in this fea
ture was very keen, the flag being won
in very close contest by Miss Sahai-
da's fourth grade pupils.
The next meeting is at Washington
school tonight. A large attendance is
expected.
