KenOsha Named for
Memory-Tree Meet
City Is Favored as Assembly-Place for
Kiwanians Planning Living Mem
orials for Soldiers.

Trees planted along both sides of
Sheridan road from Milwaukee to Chi
cago will probably constitute a beauti-
full and solemn memorial to the ma
tons heroic World War dead, if plans
OF the Kiwanis clubs of Wisconsin,
Illinois and upper Michigan are carried
out.
The clubs of Kenosha, Milwaukee,
Sheboygan, Waukesha, Evanston, ROg-
ers Park, North Shore and Chicago
have already approved the plan and a
general conference, which will probably
be held in Kenosha, will grapple with
the idea.
At the gathering, proposals will be
made looking toward active participa-
tion in the scheme of fraternal, civic,
church and private societies.
Sheridan road is said to be especially
adapted to the planting of memorial
trees, inasmuch as rich soil lines the
thoroughfare and because it connects
the home of the army at Fort Sheridan
and the home of the navy at the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station.

UNEMPLOYED GIVEN
WORK ON STREETS
Racine Provides for Its JobIess Resi-
dents by an Appropriation of
$4,000.


Racine, Wis. A municipal work
project was put into operation here
today, when some 800 men busted off
their DINNER buckets and reported to
the various department heads, who
will keep them employed on street,
cemetery and park improvements as
long as the $150,00O bond issue, Great
ed by the city for that purpose, holds
out. Widespread interest is being
taken in Racine's plan to help her many
unemployer and if it is found to work
out, as its originators hope it will,
other cities it is believed may adopt
it. From 200 to 800 laboring men,
many of whom are now on the citys'
charity list, are to be given employ
ment under the new project which was
originated by Thomas Kearney, Sr.,
chairman of the public affairs commit
tee Of the Racine Commercity club and
which had the backing of the rotary
club and Kiwanis club. A special
charities committee was created by
the common council unde rthe direc-
ton nof the organizations which map
ped out the program to be followed and
urged the bond issue.
Under the working of the plan, H.
G. Presser, head of the United States
employment bureau here, will secure
the city poor agent and the head of
the central association, lists of all men
who have been getting aid from the
city. These men will be tabulated ac-
cording to their need, size of family
and ability.
Then when men are needed by any
city department head for paving jobs,
repair gangs, cemetery or park work,
all of which are to be pushed because
of the bond issue, Mr.. Presser will go
over his list and send as many needy
men as are required. If any of these
men refuse to work when jobs are of
fered them, they will be taken from
the charity list at once. They will be
paid at the, rate of thirty-fve cents per
hodur, some working six days a week
and others working but two or three
days a week, according to the needs
of their families. Arrangements are
also being made to care for men at
the end of their resources but who have
never been on the charity lists.

EXPECTING HUNDREDS

The working out of the plan of Mayor
John G. Joachim to make survey of
the unemployed of the city in order
that the question of unemployment
may be better studied and conditions
more intelligently relieved, was ad-
vanced this morning when announce
ment was made that the registration

be started at the Office of the mayor

Friday. eve are hopeful that all men
who are not at the present time en-
ployed in the city will get their names
on this unemployment register" We
can not properly consider this prob
lem without the facts" declared the
mayor "The blanks we have prepared
will give to US a most interesting sur
vey of conditions in Kenosha and show
just where the most needy people are.
We want to find these people in order
that we may make intelligent plans for
the relief work which is to be expected
during the coming winter"
Expect Hundreds to Register.
It is expected that hundreds of the
unemployed will be registered with the
city in the two days and three thousand
blanks have been prepared for the reg
istration of the idle men. The blanks
are framed to show just what the con-
dition of men and families is. II want
to ask one favor" continued the mayor
"and that is that the men who have
names very difficult of pronunciation
bring along some slip which will show
just what the name is and the address
of the person, In case people can not
speak the language freely this slip will
be of great VI lue to u.s."
1t was declared that the plans which
have been previously announced would
be carried forward the first of next
week just as soon as a study of the
survey can be made.

This was the formula for "leading

Drawing his key-idea from Edward

men who, in a moment Of youthful
madness had renowned the Church,
and who were apparently irreligious.

President Presents
Many Prize Medals

Plymouth, Mass Thirty Polish,
French, Italian and Portuguese boys
and girls received silver medals from
the hands of President Harding today,
as winners in the fifth annual contest
for excellence in reading of English,
conducted by the New Bedford Even
ing Standard. The medals are present
ed each year to children of non-Eng-
lish speaking parentage in the public
and parochial schools of New Bedford
for facility in reading and understand
ing the English language. Faced with
population more than SO per cent Of
which represents foreign born whites
the Evening Standard determined in
1917 as matter of public policy to
initiate reading contests for children
of the foreign born. Not only as an
incentive to the closer study of the
language Of the country by it's future
citizens but as an aid to the creation
of common ideals the competitions for
meals nave proved their value.

Developments of Great Moment Sug-

is Not Lifted.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)

London Developments in the peace
negotiations between Premier Lloyd
George and leaders of the Irish re
publicans are imminent, it was report
ed here today, but government leaders
refusde to lift the veil of secrecy.
There were certain deductions made
from the arrival in Dublin yesterday
morning of Art O'Brien, president of
the Gaelic league in London, but they
Guild not be verified.
One rumor was to the effect that
Mr.. O'Brien was the courier who took
the Sinn-Fein reply to Lloyd George,
while another story declared that de
Valera would himself, return to Lon
don during the Coming week, and that
Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster,
was also coming to this city. 1t also
was reported that members of the Irish
republican parliament which has been
expected to meet during the coming
week, have made preparations to re
ceive a sudden call to Dublin and the
British government was declared to be
ready to release imprisoned members
of the republican parliament Immediate
ly after being appraised of the date
upon which the parliament would meet.
It was admitted in Sinn-Fein quart
ers that there was a considerable diff
ference of opinion among members of
the republican parliament respecting
the concessions to be demanded from
England. Some members we're declar-
ed to be adhering to the demand for
full national independence, and for
this reason predictions we're made that
the meeting of the parliament when
held, would probably develop some stiff
opposition to the leaders, who were
represented as being resolved to adopt
compromise measure.
1t was maintained, however, that Mr.
de Valera and his colleagues retained
control of the situation, and would
carry the principle of compromise
against the demands of extremists.

have intended to do so would have
meant that they were trying to destroy

today than by sweeping aside the err

the betrayals of our day and plant here
for all America and all the world the

human brotherhood. This would add
to the volume of rejoicing on earth

belt-buckle with strange inscriptions
on it. When questioned about the tro-
ply he reluctantly explained that it
had been presented to him as rec
ignition of his unusual act of bravery
in rescuing girl from death. Pressed
further, he told the complete story of
the hero affair along the banks of the
turbid Milwaukee.
A Picnic Wading Party.
The Kenosha youths "big chance"
came at a picnic for the employees of
the Holeproof Hosiery company, with
which he now holds the position of
timekeeper for the mating department.
The frolic was proceeding as usual with
the accent on the sports and water
games. The girls in the party were
wadihg in the shadows along the shore
when one of their number suddenly
stepped into a dangerous suck-hole.
Her companions, most of whom could
not swim a stroke, were helpless as
far as aiding her was concerned. They
could only scream to the men who were
swimming in the deeper part of the
river. Young Beals was the first to
hear their shouts and to swim to the
girls aid. He arrived just as she was
going down for the third time and
towed her to shore where first aid
measures soon brought her back to
normally. By the time congratulations
were in order, the Kenoshan had dis
appeared down the river somewhere.
He returned later in the evening to
find himself a full-fledged hero, the
lion of the picnic party.
81 didn't like the fuss they made over
me-" he told his Kenosha friends. 81
wanted them to forget about it, but
they didn't. A week or so later they
gave me the belt-buckle, sort of
medal, you know"
Gift from Girls Friends.
The medal" was gift from friends
of the girl whom young Beals had saved
from death. They were, for the most
part, employees of the Holeproof com
pany, who had witnessed the rescue
and were persuaded that it deserved
some special recognition. They limited
further that the affair would be re-
ported to the Carnegie commission,
which might possibly vote the local
hero more substantial reward for his
heroism. In case this should happen
it is altogether probable, Bertholf
Beals will have won place in Kenosha
history alongside Walter Jensen and
others who have risked death to save
q life.
Young Beals is student at the Ke-
nosha High school and graduate
scout; in fact, it was under the tutel-
age of Director Dave" Fogwell that he
acquired the presence of mind and
swimming skill which made possible
his act of heroism. He will return to
Kenosha in September to resume his
work in the local high school.
