TROOPS ARE READY
TO QUELL STRIKERS
British Government Takes Ag-
ressive Move to End Big
Coal Strike.

London, March A.-The first aggressive
move on the part Of the government to-
ward the settlement of the coal strike
took place to-day, when the Ninety-third
Highlanders received orders to hold
part Of the empire. This order Is be-
lieyed to signify the governments inteni
ton OF ending the labor dissatisfaction
by force II necessary.
Besides this drastic step on the part
of the government, the outlook through
out the coal fields is much brighter to-
day. and in many quarters IL Is conf
IDENTIFY expected that no matter what
steps are taken at to-morrow's confer
ence between the miners and operators
a speedy end will be made of the matter.
In line with this belief. miners through
out Wales and in some parts of Scot
land prepared TO return to their work.
The first break occurred in North Wales,
where 300 miners went into the mines
and brought eighty tons OF coal to the
surface.
The effect OF the strike so far has been
less than was expected, but the situation
Is now becoming very serious. Practi-
cally all the Lancashire cotton mills are
expected to shut down the coming week.
The sentiment Of the business COM
munity in general is optimistic. and re-
sumption of work by the miners is ex-
pected TO be followed by great activity
Of factories. A large number of new
loans to companies probably will be
issued after the settlement has been at
tanned
Withdrawals of cash from London for
the provinces is now stopped. The con-
siderable sum recently withdrawn was
partly for the account OF bankers who
desired to increase their till balances
against eventualities. Trade unions have
had difficufty in disposing OF their Sc
curities in which their funds are invested
or borrowing from bankers against col
lateral. but have succeeded IN raising
money thus far from large cooperative
societies and other friendly institutions.

WISCONSIN BUTTER WINNER
Badger Product Gains Silver Trophy
in Contest With wa, illinois,
Minnesota and Michigan.

Madison.-For a third time Wis
consin buttermakers have won the
Creamery Journal silver trophy for
highest scoring butter, and now the
trophy comes permanently in the pos
session of the Wisconsin Butter Max
ers' association. In 1910 the Cream
cry Journal, one of the foremost
dairy publications of the middle west
offered the trophy, masterpiece of
the silversmith's art, to the dairy
association showing the highest
score of butter by any member of
any state association, with Iowa,
Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan and In
diana as chief competitors. Wfscon-
sin won the trophy last year when
at the annual meeting at Fond du
Lac with 148 entries it showed a
score of 92.9. The next year at La
Crosse with IT'S entries the score was
92.31, which was again winner, and
now, with the record made up for
1917, comes the third victory from
the Green Bay meeting, where, with
lob specimens, the score was 9313,
and so Wisconsin again shows its
leadership.

ST. Patrick's Birthplace

Almost as many countries claim the
honor of being the natal soil of st.
Patrick as of Homer. Scotland, Eng
land, France, Wales, Cornwall and
Brittany all arrogate to themselves
the privilege of pointing out the
saints birthplace. Half a dozen dates
are given as that on which he was
born, but all unite in fixing upon the
18th of March as the date of his
death, which to a saint is the true
birthday as he is then born into the
higher life. The years OF life allotted
to him by the different dates vary
from 78 to 120, but after the lapse of
fifteen centuries it is enough to know
that ST. Patrick was a historic char
acter, who lived In the latter part of
the fourth century and the earlier
part of the fifth; that he lived to a
green old age, and that until the end
he was man Of gentle deeds and
broad charity.

STUDENTS USE BAD ENGLISH
Majority of University Classes Badly
Mispronounce Common Words,
Declares Teacher.

Madison.-That there is serious
mistake somewhere in the education
Of university students when they can
graduate, majoring in English and
be unable to pronounce correctly
tWenty-eight out of fifty words in
common usage was the assertion of
Miss G. E. Johnson of the depart
ment of public speaking at Wisconsin
before one of her classes. Miss John
son recently gave a quiz to her class
of some forty students, and out of
that number there were only three
who did satisfactory work Some of
the words which were badly mispro-
nounced were: Alternately, consum-
mate, disputant, harass, indicatory,
Jocund, lyceum, museum, obligatory,
resourse, research, mustache, i'm
pious, contemplate, apropcs.

URGE SICKNESS INSURANCE
Friends of Workmen's Compensation
Law to Ask Action by Wscon-
sin Legislature.

Madison.-Now that workers in
Wisconsin are insured against loss
by accident, the state may go a step
farther and provide sickness insur-
ance, say friends of the workmen' S
compensation law. Such a measure
will receive serious consideration be-
fore the next regular session of the
Legislature opens. 1t is argued that
SO far as it incapacitates one from
earning livelihood, sickness is in
the same category with accidents,
and that sickness insurance is rea-
sonable and elsewhere has proven
feasible and popular, especially in
Germany

SPECIAL SESSION
/. DETERMINED UPON
Now Practically Assured That
Legislature Will Convene.
MAKE NO CALL UNTIL APRIL
Black River Falls Situation the Prin-
cipaI Subject for Consideration
Special Elections to Fill Vacancies
Necessary Before SoIons Meet.

Madison.-That there will be a
special session of the legislature call
ed to consider the situation at Black
River Falls arising out of the condi
tions left by the flood disaster of last
fall and to take up other subjects
which Gov. McGovern believes are
pressing for solution is now stated as
a fact. That a special session can
not meet before April % is a legal
aspect of the case that must control
and may result in determining the
date of the special session at time
still more remote.
Gov. McGovern has said that he
would not consider the proposition of
a special session now but for the ur-
gent appeals from a distressed peo-
pie of Black River Falls, backed by
a strong sentiment throughout the
state. The committee appointed some
time ago to have charge of the relief
fund for the benefit of the stricken
city has urged persistently the neces-
sity OF legislative aid. Its efforts
have reached the limit of accom-
plishment in the way of relief and,
except for what the school children
of the state and here and there a pri-
vate charity are doing, contributions
to the fund have practically ceased
and the needs of the appealing COM
munity have only been half met.
But before special session of the
Legislature can be held there must
be two primary elections and two
special elections held to fill vacan-
cieS, one each in the membership of
senate and assembly. Since the last
session adjourned two deaths have
occurred. Assemblyman Carl H.
Dorner Of Milwaukee and Senator
Jas. A. Wright of Merrill, Thirtieth
district, and the state constitution
provides that these shall be filled by
special election called upon the pre-
cept of the governor. The machin-
cry of election takes time, and as the
legislative apportionment made by
the last legislature becomes opera
tive on April 1, any special election
that may be required now must be
in accordance with that law of ap~
portionment and cannot be held be-
fore April %, giving proper time for
canvass and return of the vote at the
primary election.
With the prospects of a special ses-
sion affirmatively established there
will be discussion and consideration
Of what other matters, aside from
the Black River Falls situation, shall
be made subjects of legislative
action. 1t is understood that the wa
ter power question, recently the sub
ject of an adverse decision by the
supreme court, is almost certain to
be taken up again with view to
passing bill that will stand the tests
established by the court. Then, too,
it is probable that some minor de,
fects that have been found to exist
in the primary election law and the
corrupt practices act will be cor
rected.

Its IntermingIing With That of Other
Races Has Made This Nation
Strong and Great.

1t would take volume, and large
one, to set forth the whole of the
debt which America owes to men of
Celtic blood. There is a sentimental
effort on foot by men of this race to
conserve the various branches of the
Celtic language and to perpetuate in
its purity to future ages the Celtic
blood. The sentiment Is admirable.
The Celts, and particularly Irishmen,
have been noted for their ardent
patriotism. No people ever loved
their native sod with such a tender
ness Of devotion as the people of this
green isle. But the Celtic race is
not sufficiently differentiated from
the Latin and from the Teutonic to
make perpetual segregation possible.
For 1000 years the amalgamation of
these European races has been going
on, and the amalgamation must go on
until in a complete mingling of the
various strains will arise one con-
glomerate people of various strains
Of the highest type of humanity that
the world has ever known. The CITY
Of Boston is more Irish than Yankee,
and the intermingling of the blood of
men like Patrick Collins with that
Of the descendants of John Alden and
Cotton Mather is just what gives us
the men Of whom we are proud The
influence of this Celtic race, the pio
neers Of all Europe, in it's minglins
with the other strains Of white blood
in the American people, is of more
value than the conservation of the
Erse sept in Connemara or Tyrone.
