WISCONSIN AND THE EURO
PEAN WAR

Wisconsin more than the average
American State Is interested in the
giant war that is being fought in
Europe. More than a third of her
population is either German or OF
German extraction, and thousands of
Wisconsin families are represented by
relatives or friends in the fighting
army of the Kaiser. The story of
how Wisconsin received her German
population is one of much interest.
AS early as 1880, when the reaction
against the liberal movement of 1880
had set in throughout Europe, disap-
pointed German reformers were turn
ing their steps toward the newly
opened territory of Wisconsin. They
represented the flower of German
culture and received a ready well
come in their new homes. The en-
thusiastic letters which they sent to
compatriots at home of the climate
and soil of Wisconsin soon attracted
hither large numbers of others, and
by l847, when Wisconsin was ready to
frame its consultation, their influence
was strong enough to write into the
document extremely liberal provisions
regarding franchise rights of foreign
immigrants.
When the revolution of 1848, the
supreme effort of the German liberals,
failed, thousands fed in discourage
ment and came to Wisconsin to build
there the home of their ideals. With
them came the brilliant men, such as
Carl Schurz, who were to lead Wis
consin Germans in the coming con-
flict against slavery. The tide of
immigration reached its heighth in
1854, but large numbers of Germans
continued to come until Wisconsin
became popularity known as the dis
tinctive German state of the Union,
and Milwaukee the Berlin of Ameri-
Ca" An interesting account of Wis
consin's German element may be found
in the Wisconsin Historical Collec-
tions, vol. xii. pages 299-334.

 President Bush continues to
 state that it has long been known, that with good crops and
 prosperous times, the railroad revenues have been inadequate | to meet the requirements, to
 establish sound credit with the
 bankers, or to raise money for Improvements to care for ex- banding commerce. He states that the reductions and burdens
 caused by Federal and State leg Iislation, increased taxes, increas- ed cost of materials and expens-
 es of labor, have so decreased the net earnings that many car riers are left without means to meet the mortgage interest. This causes a loss of credit
 which prevents them from get ting new money to make im-
 provements.
 President Bush states that the
 gross earnings of United States
 railroads for the year ending
 June 30, 1914, is S14,000,000 less than for the year ending on
 June 30, 1913, while the expens-
 ee were $76,000,000 more, and
 the net earnings for 1913 were
 $120, 100000 less than the pre- ceding year. This amount must be deducted from the in-
 terest and improvement account.
 President Bush states it is a problem how long the railroads can keep up their present eff Iciency under present conditions,
 and gives as their only hope an early increase in passenger and freight rates.
 q am glad to note that Presi- dent Wilson realizes the serious
 ness of the situation" states
 President Bush in conclusion,
 land that he is willing to aid in its solution. This straightfor-
 ward statement coming from Ithe chief executive of the na- !tion will aid very much in di- recting the attention of all thinking citizens to the true se- rriousness of the situation. Mind you, l have not lost faith in the future. We have the greatest country in the world and the greatest and most resourceful people on the globe, and if we all stand as one," as the Pres ident suggests, we shall weather the storm"

RAILROADS ARE
 SERIOUSLY AFFECTED
With Credit Impaired And For. eign Money No Longer Avail able-President Bush Finds Only Solution Is In-
 creased Rates.

1t IS admitted that every l1l- dustry is seriously affected by the European war, and Presi- dent Bush of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain 6 Southern railroad is not alone ill the contention that the railroads will be injured by 1t more than all other branch es of trade combined.
 President Bush has issued a statement in which he states that the problems confronting the country in marketing it's varied products is momentous, but that the Democratic admin istration and the people in gen. eral were doing all in their pow CT to relieve the situation, yet they have failed to include the railroad, which is affected the most seriously.
 Though much, has been con- sidered and done for the relief of other industries, nothing so far has been suggested to aid the railroads" says President Bush, which is all important to every other. For some years back railroads, by reason of di- unfinished net earnings, have ex- Hperienced difficulties in borrow ting money to make necessary Improvements to meet the re- quirements of the expanding business and the public demand for better service. This war emergency will accentuate the situation and further impair their credit, so that under the present conditions of inadequate revenue, all attempts to finance railroad securities will be futile. 1 "This is the gravest danger with which railroads have been menaced in their history. They are thus wantonly deprived of }the means to meet current urg- ent needs in affording adequate service, but they are confronted with the problem as to how they can take care of outstanding ob- Eligations which mature in the linear future.
 "A careful computation of lthese obligations show there are upwards of $578,000,000 in de- fault at the present time, $34,- f000,000 which must be met be- lfore the end of this year and [$563, 100000 between now and 1.-the end of the next year. It is needless to say that if these ob- |hgations are not met, other in- |dustrial interests depending on fthe railroads will be iniuriously affected as well as the railroads. The probabilities are that for a Hong time to come American se- curities will not find a market in Europe. All surplus capital of that continent will be required flor some years to replace the ldestruction of property and to repair the ravages of war. Nor lis this all, for we shall likely Ihave to repurchase the large share of nearly S5, 900, 100000 of American securities which are now held in Europe. This will throw upon our own people the burden of financing the railroad requirements for an indefinite period, and if the railroads are not to be driven upon the rocks of bankruptcy and of deteriora- tion, they must have the kindly cooperation and friendship of the public and our laWpakipQ,
