How Some Men In France and Ger

How Some Men in France and Ger
many Avoid COnscription
From the London Express
When some months ago the question of
conscription was first widely discussed in
this country people seemed to take it for
granted that were it once adopted we would
"settle down to it as they do on the contt-
nent."
Now, anybody who has taken the trouble
to study the subject will inform you that
on the continent they never have quite
settled down to it."
Indeed, the extent to which some young
men are prepared to go in order to avoid
compulsory military service is amazing.
Many will actually MAIN themselves, for
physical deformity Is about the only cause
which enables a man to be exempt.
In France and Germany for instance,
great sensations have been caused from
time to time by the discovery that gangs OF
professional manners have been working
whole districts. The INSCRIPTIONS adyen-
turers undertake to temporarily MAIN
young men in such way that they will
be rejected by the military authorities when
their turn comes to be examined for SER
vice.
The French police have lately been in ho1
pursuit of one of these gangs Their plan
was simple, yet very clever.
There must have been several members In
the band, a bulky package of their let
ters which has just been found shows that
they have for months been operating
throughout the department Of Lot-et- Ga
rome, as well as in the district Of Moissac.
On arriving in town the members OF the
band copied from the official lists the
names of those who would be required to
do military service when the next call
was issued and then they ascertained how
many of these young men were willing to
become soldiers for time and how many
would much sooner remain at home.
They lost no time in calling on the sons
of well-to-do parents who were anxious to
| escape military service.
IF you can only prove that you have
| some grave bodily infirmity,'' they said to
| each of these young men, you will never
| be required to serve. If you are willing to
| pay us 1000 francs we win furnish you a
bodily infirmity which win not do you in
| jury and yet will prove barrier against
your becoming a soldier"
AS soon as young man accepted this
| offer two of the swindlers proceeded to
manufacture bodily fnfirmity by twist
/ ing and squeezing his toes and fingers, the
result being that after few days manipu-
| lation they became deformed, and the
young man could congratulate himself that
in view OF such a grave physical defect nc

Their decision was as follows:-

The Milton Dairy Co. have their
building at the Station completed
and the manager, j. G.. Davenport,
commenced TO receive cream Tuesday
and will take IN cream every other
day to ship to St. Paul. The compa
ny make an exceptionally favorable
offer for the purchase of cream. The
proposition which they make to pay
for butter fat as shown by a test Of
the cream within two cents Of the
highest market price Of creamery but
ter In New York city would seem to
be as fair and favorable deal as any
one could reasonably expect. This
company say the market price Of the
best creamery butter In New York
last season averaged % cents pound,
ia which case the farmers received 20
cents, much better price than the
average in the local market here.

RIVER FALLS AMONG THE FIRST!
STATE DECLAMAToRY CONTEST AT MADISON. MAY 81
ROBERT REED GETS 4th PLACE; HUDSON 9th.

In the contest, and the decision Of
the judges gave her second place.
Miss Florence Copeland, of Brod-
head, was probably the youngest speak
er on the program, and she had one of
the most difficult selections, Eugene
Aram's Dream" Nevertheless she
spoke it in very acceptable manner,
showing a high degree of ability, and
most thorough training. Ia voice,
gesture, enunciatlon, ETC., she was
clearly one Of the best OF the evening,
yet she ranked no better than ninth.
This was probably due TO the fact that
it was evident that she did not feel
her piece. Her work was almost per-
feet, mechanically, but lacked soul.
Miss Euretta Kimball, Of James
villeI spoke Helene Tamre" with so
much OF force and clearness OF inter-
probation that she was given third
place in the contest. In fact she was
the only speaker on whom any two
judges agreed as to first place. Miss
Kimball's voice was excellent and In
splendid control, her gestures appro-
pirate and forceful, her enunciation
distinct, and many had her picked as
the winner of first place. That the
decision Of the judges gave her only
third place, shows the excellence of
the contest.
David Jones, of Bangor, In the
Supposed Speech of John Adams"
labored under the disadvantage OF
having an oratorical selection near
the close OF long program. Yet his
rendering OF 1t was strong. He lacked
II anywhere, in Interpretation, his
appreciation OF the piece being weak
in places.
Viewed from the standpoint Of fine
defamation, with all accessories OIL
action and delineation left out, the
next number, Eruption of Vesu
vius," by Miss Margery Roberts, o,
Milwaukee, was the best of the con
/ test. Miss Roberts voice was hardly
equal to the task set for it, but she
succeeded, with very little gesture and
less OF dellneation, in bringing vlyidly
TO the audience the thrilling scene In
the Roman arena on the last day OF
Pompeii. The decision made fourth
place tie between Robert Reed and
Miss Roberts.
Thomas Grey, Of Kaukauna, had a
difficult task to hold his audience,
coming as he did at the close OF a four
hour program, with "Connor," a pa
thetic story Of an Irish laborer, he
proved his right to be classed among
the speakers of the first rank and was
given sixth place by the judges.
The Judges were Rev. e. G. Updike,
Of the Congregational Church, Madi-
son; Miss Florence Vernon, once an
instructor in the University: J. A.
Awkward, city attorney Of Madison;
Hon. B. j. Stevens of the Board of
University Regents, and A. p. Wilder,
editor Of the Estate Journal"
