TURKISH WAR AHHOYS POWERS
SEIZURE OF TURKISH ISLANDS
CAUSE FOR GRAVE ALARM.
Prevailing Sentiment in Europe is Be.
coming lninical 20 Triple
Entente.

Paris, May 22-The extension Ct
the Turko-Italian war, is awakening
the powers to the necessity Of making
renewed attempts to bring the con-
fict to an end. Italy's steady occupa-
ton of Turkish islands in the Aegean
sea which Turkey has answered by ex-
polling Italians from the Ottoman en-
pire is regarded here with consider
able inQuietude.
Italy is now in control Of II Turkish
islands in the archipelago and this it
is pointed out totally modifies the
equilibrium of force in one section Of
the water route round the world which
with the completion Of the Panama
canal means a continuous globar ma
rine movement.
The turn of events therefore Is dis
tinctly against the interests Of the
triple entente and chiefly against those
of Russia and the time has arrived
for members of the triple entente to
examine the situation seriously.
Various offers for mediation between
Turkey and Italy have been extend
ed including the calling of congress
of European powers and proposal to
allow Italy to remain in Tripoli as
England has remained in Egypt with
Turkey retaining legal control in the
country, getting back her islands and
receiving compensation.

Chicago Grain Markets.

Chicago, May 22-Evidence developed
today that the wheat market had been
oversold. Accordingly. prices tended
upward, especially as cable quotations
showed power to remain stable, despite
declines on this side of the Atlantic.
The fact that receipts of red wheat
here were light helped also to ATTRACT
attention to possibilities on the bull
side and so did reports of cash sales.
Moreover, there was a word of big
falling off in the wheat yield Of India.
Opening figures ranged from ~ low
er to 15c advance. July started $1.07A
@1.071a, gain of Is q &c, and rose to
$1.07% @1.07B.
Illinois reports that half the wheat
standing was turning ont to be cheat
caused prices to harden still more. The
higher at $1.08A @1.0SSs
Offerings dried up in the corn crowd
Shorts scrambled to cover and in their
eagerness hoisted the market against
themselves. July opened 1sc to Is @ 40
off, at 7312 @73 sc to 1880. and climbed
to IAN @74ssc.
A further advance ensued owing to
predictions of unsettled weather. The
close was firm at rs &c for July, gain
of 1c net.
There was right and left purcha sing
of oatseWhen that cereal made dip at
the outset. In consequence, the early
loss was more than overcome. Buyers
took their cue from the action Of one Of
the largest houses in the trade. July
started unchanged to Ac down ct 47A

Counties Held Liable.

Madison.-According to the decis-

sion, counties are liable for injuries
to workmen engaged in road i'm
provement under the state highway
legislation. The test case was
brought by George Edminster and
August Popke, who, it is alleged,
were injured while working in a
sand pit near Mukwa, Waupaca coun-
ty. When compensation was asked,
the countys officials were uncertain
whether township, county or state
was responsible, and the action was
referred to the commission. Awards
of $2SS92 and $104.12 were made

SEEKS TO ABOLISH
GRADUATE SCHOOL
Supt. Cary Proposes Change in
University Organization.
REGENTS TO CONSIDER PLAN
Special Meeting of Board Will Be
Held for Acting on the Resolution
Adoption, Regarded as improbable,
Would Shake University System.

Madison.-A resolution, which IL
it is adopted by the university direc-
tors, will virtually abolish the gradu-
ate school of the state institution,
was introduced at the last meeting or
the regents by Supt G. P. Cary.
In accordance with the changes adj
vocated by the state official in his re-
cent criticism of the instructions and
management of the research depart
ment, it is proposed that fellows and
assistant instructors be eliminated
from the graduate faculty and that
instruction be vested in the Offices Of
full university professorship The
change would prove revolutionary in
the organization of the research
school and would cause it's probable
retirement.
The resolution was referred to a
special committee consisting of Presi-
dent James S. Trottman of Milwau-
kee, head of the regents board; Pres
ident Charles r. Van Hise of the uni
versity, and Supt. Cary.
1t is not expected in university cir
cles that the plan of Supt. Cary will
be supported. The strength of the
state institution has been declared by
educational experts of national repu-
ment, the elimination of which, it is
considered, would undoubtedly prove
injurious to the university.

To Make Hog Cholera Serum.

Madison-To prevent the great
losses from hog cholera of last year
being duplicated during the coming
summer, the regents of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin have authorized the
veterinary department of the College
of Agriculture to manufacture hog

Wisconsin farmers an opportunity to
protect their animals with serum at a
reasonable price The veterinary de-
partment is prepared to furnish in
structions for the checking of any
outbreak of hog cholera epidemics
such as caused heavy loss in Wis

MEMORIAL DAY EDlCT
ANNUAL PROCLAMATION ISSUED
BY GOV. MGOvERN.
Wisconsin Executive Urges a Wide
Observance of Festival in Honor
of the Nations Dead.

Madison.-The formal proclama-
ton of Gov. Francis e. McGovern,
designating May 80 as Memorial day
throughout the state of Wisconsin,
has been issued. The text of the
proclamation follows:
Half a century ago our country
was engaged in a most desperate
struggle to preserve its integrity and
to maintain it's place among the ma
tions of the earth. Nearly three mil
lion men in the strength of early man
hood and in the prime Of life Of
fered their services in her defense.
Within four years one out of every
six of these found a grave in the
south or returned only to be laid to
rest in the quiet of Gods acre on
the hillsides and praries OF the north.
For fifty years, since the warfare
ceased, the grand army of the dead
has been constantly recruiting from
the grand army of the living, until
now but few remain personally to
remind us of the heroism of that
crisis
cit is most fitting that the living
who inherit the glory and reap the
rich rewards such warfare has
wrought shall devote one day each
year to honor the memory of those
who have answered the last roll call.
But as the nation mourns its SOL
der and sailor dead, families, too,
mourn loved ones, gone never to re-
turn. While veterans plant the flag
of our country on the graves of their
comrades and children bring their Of
fering of flowers, it is a fitting time
for families also to visit the last rest
ing place of their departed aid Of
fer tokens &C their affection for
them.
''In accord, therefore, with the
long established and commendable
usage, /, Francis E. McGovern, gov
ernor of the state of Wisconsin, here
by designate and appoint Thursday,
May 80, 1912, as Memorial day, and
| earnestly recommend that every
citizen of the state give his assist
ance and encouragement in making
it's observation worthy Of the occa-
sion and in keeping with the exalted
sentiments and sacred recollections
it commentaries"
