Five Nations In the Battle.
The fighting along the Belgian coast
probably is the most picturesque bat
tie ever Fought. On shore the troops
OF five nations are fighting-the Aus
trians and Germans on one side. the
French. Belgian and English on the

gunboats, destroyers and submarines
are fighting side by side with French
warships, while at the same time they
are being subjected to attacks by Ger.

Evidently the Germans seem determ.

German Attack Severe.
According to trustworthy accounts
fresh troops brought up by the Ger

attacks with increased vigor on the
French right wing in Eastern France,
where the battle has been of q ding

and losses.

Warsaw, and southwark to have

Austrians backward.

the Russians also claim to have brok-

Russians Victorious.
In the present battle on the River

River Pilica, the Russians have scored
an important victory in driving the
Germans back and have captured
many prisoners, besides guns and am

The battle for the Straits of
Dover, one of the most sanguin-
ary Of the war, is continuing with
unabated fury but thus far with
out either side gaining any de-
cided advantage.
The Germans, who at terrible
cost of life, succeeded late last
week in crossing the User Canal,
between Nieuwport and Dix
nude, have not been able to make
any further progress as the Allies,
according to report of the Ger
man general headquarters, are
obstinately defending their posi-
tions.
Neither Side Gains.

are being brought forward.
The British fleet, which bombarded
the German flank as they advanced
along the coast, seem to have with
drawn. The Germans say this was
because their artillery was beginning
TO reach the ships. The belief is ex-
pressed in London, though, that the
fleet will be able to render untenable
German occupation OF any part Of the
Belgian or French coasts. The opin-
ion is also expressed there that the
operations OF the allied vessels in the
North Sea, of the Belgian coast and
in the vicinity of the Straits of Dover
may cause the German fleet to come
out and give battle.
AlIles Hold Germans.
The crossing of the User apparent

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
5 COUNTY SCHOOL, NEWS 5
BY COUNTY SUPT, o. E. RICE


The exhibit at the county fair
made by some of the schools was
pronounced by many who examined
the display as being of a high order
of merit, the only criticism heard be-
ing that all of the teachers of the
county do not enter more heartily
into this feature of practical educa-
ton. 1t rests very largely with
the teachers whether the children
take hold of the work. The question
was repeatedly asked by parents,
"Why did not our teacher have her
school participate in this?" Only in
a few instances could we give a sat
isfactory answer.
1t is very evident that patrons of
our schools appreciate this kind of
work, and want the teachers to give
their children the same advantages
that some other schools provide 1t
is expected that all the schools in
Rusk county will hereafter show
their progressive spirit in this mat
ter and assist in having their schools
in line with the best in the county.
Let every teacher begin early this
year to prepare for the fair next
year. If you have no premium list,
write the superintendent or Mr.. J..
H. Kraus, Secretary, Bruce, for a
copy of the last premium list.

Big Scare at Pulp Mill

Big Scare at Pulp Mill
The pulp mill in this city narrow
ly escaped destruction by fire last
Monday. The fire started while the
crews of the plants were at dinner
and it was 1920 when the alarm
was sounded. The whistles of the
paper mill and Wooden Ware plant
gave the alarm and it was not long
until the city fire alarm was notify
ing the citizens. The local fire de-
partment responded promptly and
pulled the hose carts to the hydrant
nearest the scene of the fire but dis
covered that the hose would not
reach the distance, and the saving
of the building depended upon the
water works system of the Menasha
plant. The fire originated into the
basement of the mill, presumably
starting from a hot box and spread
very rapidly. The place where the
fire started was located in such a
manner as to make it impossible to
get at it without considerable delay
and the general opinion was that the
plant would be destroyed. There
were three hose playing on the
flames with a direct water pressure
of between forty and fifty pounds,
and in the course of say fifteen min
utes the firemen had the fire under
control and by one O'Clock the ex-
element was over.
