THE UNITED STATES FIRST

A naval holiday" is proposed for the great
naval nations Of the world, like the United
States, Great Britain and Japan. This means a
cessation, for a period of years, OF all naval
building by these three countries.
Before we get too far along on any such pro-
gram it is well to stop and consider just what
the American naval situation is
The British navy is the first in the world to-
day. When our present building program, up
to 1924, is completed, it is said that the United
States will equal Great Britain in first line"
ships - that is, heavy battle-ships and the
largest kind of cruisers. But even 1924 will see
the British far ahead of us in light cruisers
the Commerce raiders" of the late war - de-
stroyers, submarines, ocean-going aircraft and
aircraft and the number of modified sailors,
gunners and officers.
Considering the Japanese navy, we are about
twice as strong as they are in first line ships.
But in other particulars, chiefly in light cruis-
ers, they are ahead of u.s. And our fleet has al
ways to be divided into two parts, an Atlantic
fleet and Pacific fleet
So that naval holiday at this time would
leave the United States considerably at dis
advantage
ROoAC1OAA
can afford to accept in naval matters, and that
is the position of supremacy. We are the rich
est nation in the world, and hence the most
likely prey for pirate nations. We have the
greatest coast line to defend. We are situated
nearer than any other European country except
Russia to the most militaristic people remain
ing in the world, the Japanese. And it behooves
us to look out for ourselves
It is all right for British and Japanese states
men to be talking about naval holiday now.
Let them go ahead and take a holiday.
1t will be time enough for American states
men to consider that subject when the United
States navy has actually become the first navy
of the world, as is our right and as, because of
our great resources, we are able to make it.
This policy is in the interests Of the peace Of
the world, and particularly in the interests Of
the peace of the United States.

WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW

Whether prohibition law enforcement under
the Volstead law is a success or failure, is open
to discussion and is being discussed rather free
ly.
And to aid in that discussion, so that it may
be intelligent, it might be worth while to refer
to the records to see just what has been done
along that line.
The story told by the records seems quite
imposing at any rate
A resume of the activities of prohibition
agents for the first ten months since the Vol
stead law has been in effect shows:
1856 illicit distilleries seized and destroyed
9186 stills seized and destroyed;
4182 still worms seized;
136,608 gallons of spirits seized and de-
stroyed;
50,44S fermenters seized and destroyed;
1921 automobiles seized;
20 breweries seized;
"a, ago persons arrested;
23,959 persons recommended for prosecution

Where Kenoshans Were Killed.
The accident occurred at the exact
point where Eli jacobson, Mrs. Thomas
Charlton and Mrs. Lilly Goblin Of Ke-
nosha were fatally injured on the
night of January End, last. Many Ke-
nosha people were at the crossing just
after the accident and they declared
that the fagman was on duty but that
he protested against investigations of
the accident being made. It was de-
clared that the fagman was at the
crossing when the Valid automobile
approached, but that VALID failed to
see the man on account Of the blind
ing snowstorm. "Death curve" is now
being eliminated after an order Of the
railroad commission issued three years
ago. Many people have been killed
there since the order Of the commits
sion was issued.

$780, 200 in CASH." which have been ap-
pearing since last Tuesday in the col

yesterday by the Chicago Tribune,

girl discovered in the states of Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin. In addition $4,000 in cash prizes
ranging from $1,000 to $50 each will

discovered in each of the above states.
There are separate cash prizes for
each territory.
Chance to Prove It.
AS announced, this offer is open TO
every girl in this city and vicinity,
except professional beauties, such as
stage girls or artists models. Here's
an opportunity for Kenosha girls to
win both fame and fortune. Girls Of

to be not only pretty but positively
beautiful. Here's a chance for Keno
sha to prove it to the world.

EVENING NEWS
TOOFFER CUP
Silver Cup Will be Given by
Evening News to Win
ner of Tourney.
SHOULD STIR INTEREST

The Kenosha Evening News will be
the donor of a silver cup to the win
ner of Kenosha INTERESTINGLY school
basketball tournament to be played
sometime during February and March.
Interest in basketball in Kenosha is
growing and it is with view of fos-
tering the game that the News will
post the cup.
The game has always been greatly
liked by the younger element but they
have never had an opportunity of
playing in real contest. The idea of
the tournament is to allow every Sun
day school in Kenosha and every
church the opportunity of entering q
team in the competition. Heretofore
there has never been any particular
attention paid to the sports Of the
younger generation of Kenosha and
such a tournament is expected to
bring any latent interest to the sur
face.
Meet Friday Night.
It is the idea of the News to have
each church or Sunday school send a
representative to the News Office next
Friday night. At this meeting the
different representatives will decide
upon the weight Of the teams, the size
Of the players and some sort of a
schedule to start upon. They will de-
eide at this time where the games will
be played. It is thought that at this
time at least two basketball games
should be played week in the tour
nament to arouse the interest. Of
course eligibility of any member of the
different teams is based upon regular
attendance at Sunday school.
Is an Opportunity.
This is an opportunity for the
churches and Sunday schools of the
city to get behind their young basket
ball aspirants. 1t is an opportunity
for the mothers and fathers of Sunday
school lads to get behind their sons
and give them boost. It's an oppor-
tunity for the young fellows to show
their parents and their Sunday school
just what they can do on the basket
ball floor. 1t is also an opportunity
for the boys to get before basketball
fandom in Kenosha. Who knows but
what some star players may be un-
covered in the Sunday school tourna-
ment. Get behind the tournament and
talk it up!

MYSTERY MAN"
is VISITOR HERE
Barney Farrell Strolls Into
City Saturday While
SIeuths Seek Him.
CONFERS WITH 'BUD"

While Milwaukee detectives were
searching high and low on Saturday
for Barney Farrell in all of his haunts
in Milwaukee in order that he might
be made to tell what he knows con-
corning the road house party at which
Miss Marian Davis took seven tablets
of cyanide of potassium in an effort to
commit suicide, Farrell was non-chal-
antly walking the streets of Kenosha.
The road-house keeper is well-known
by many Kenoshans and he was seen
several times here on Saturday.
Once he talked with several per-
sons, who were strangers to the Keno
shan, who saw and knew Farrell, on
Market square. At another time he was
seen strolling into local hotel. At
his road-house in Milwaukee, Farrell
left word for his intimate friends that
he was in Kenosha on business but de-
spite this information no Milwaukee
detectives appeared to follow him to
this city to place him under arrest in
connection with the poison mystery
which is now arousing all Milwaukee.
May Have Seen "Bud" Here.
It is possible that Farrell may have
come to Kenosha to confer with "Bud"
the other man who was at the road
house party when the pretty young
Milwaukee woman tired Of life and at
tempted to end it all by taking poison.
Persistent reports declare that "Bud"
who was one of the men who took the
girl to the Emergency Hospital in Mil
waukee, where she was nursed back to
life, is a well-known business man of
Kenosha and it is possible that a meet
ing may have occurred between the
two here that may clear up the iden-
tity of the members of the party.
In Milwaukee it was declared that
the young woman was recovering from
the effects Of her rash deed as rapidly
as could be expected but that as vet
she had refused to reveal the identity
OF her companions.

UNCLE SAM. LIQUOR DEALER

There are over 40,00O,000 gallons of liquor in
about 800 bonded warehouses in this country
Some of this liquor is coming out for legiti-
mate purposes; much more, though, according
to Wayne B. Wheeler, of the Anti-Saloon
League, is going to dampen thirsty dry spots,
particularly in large cities.
Wheeler has a remedy: Let Uncle Sam go
into the wholesale liquor business he urges.
''The government should take over the
liquors, sell them for legitimate purposes,
and return the proceeds to the owners, less
the expense of sale.''
This would, undoubtedly, halt the flow of
bonded liquors into bootlegging bottles, especi-
lily if the liquors, as Wheeler suggests, be med

Crusader SchOLey
Changes His Mind


Crusader John Scholey is just like
woman. He insists on the inalien-
able right to change his mind and he
announced this morning that he had
changed his mind and that he would
not retire as prohibition enforcement
officer tomorrow as had been formerly
announced. He is going to stay right
on the job. Just this morning he got
wind of where lot of booze had been
stored in Kenosha and he just had an
nitching to get it and he hurried away
to Milwaukee to tell of his find to the
federal officials and proffer his assist
ance in getting the liquor.
1t is said that the crusader has also
been influenced to change his mind by
the fact that support for his work has
been promised. At meetings held on
Sunday a considerable sum of money
was collected to keep Scholey right on
the job and the men who kicked in
their money for enforcement let it be
understood that there was more where
this money came from and that it
would be available to see that the
work of Scholey was properly financed.
'No, I'm not quitting" Scholey de-
clared this morning. "The people want
me to keep on the job and have shown
willingness to raise money to pay
me. If they want me I am here to
serve and I'm not bit afraid of any
rot about being in danger of all sorts
of things. 1 am going to stay right on
the job here in Kenosha county as
state official and a constable"

FAMOUS FEBRUARY BABIES

Maybe you are one Of the persons who cele-
brate birthdays in February. IF so, you al
ready know that the shortest of months is the
greatest of birthday months
To those others, who were not fortunate
enough to make their initial appearance on
earth in February it may be as well to call at
tention to the fact that quite few celebrated
citizens first saw the light of day in that month
For instance:
Horace Greeley, Aaron Burr, w. T. Sher-
man, William Henry Harrison, Samuel J.
Tilden, Thomas A. Edison, Abraham Lin
coin, Joseph Jefferson, George Washington,
James Russell Lowell, Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney, Henry Wadsworth LongfeIIow.
The February-born insist that the shortest
month beats all other months in giving long
lead toward fame to it's children

A woman, the mother of six chill
dren, was killed, two persons may die,
and four others were painfully injured
when an automobile, driven through a
binding snowstorm, was struck by q
speeding northbound Northwestern
road passenger train Sunday night at
Johnson's crossing, at death curve"
between Kenosha and Racine.
An unusual surgical feat was per-
formed when child, baby girl, was
born at St. Mary's hospital in Racine,
through a caesarian operation several
minutes after the woman had sue
cumbed. The child will live, physi-
clans say.

Run Into Storm.
The party had been to Fort Sheridan,
H., spending Sunday with Edward
Baranow, son of Fred Baranow, an
enlisted man. They were on their re-
turn trip, and according to Racine
county authorities, Morris VALID was
driving the automobile when the acct
dent occurred.
Just after leaving Kenosha they ran
into a gale, accompanied by a snow
storm. It is believed when they
reached Johnson's crossing, also known
as "death curve" Wald was blinded by
the snow and was unable to see the
rushing train. The locomotive struck
the automobile in the center, hurting
the machine and occupants about a
hundred feet. The automobile was de-
molished. The injured persons were
placed on board the train and rushed
to st. Mary's and st. Luke's hospitals
in Racine. Here it was found by Drs
R. E. Rugh and Theodore Brehm that
Mrs. Morris VALID, who was at the
point of death. was about to give birth
to child. She had suffered frac-
