CROSSE lie
IS DIVORCED
Wins Out Before Supervisors
in Plan For Separation
From Monguag0n

Crosse lie can now hold her head
up and do as much decorating as she
likes. She Is no longer bound by civic
ties to Monguagon. following the deci-
sion OF the board Of supervisors, Fri
day morning. Supervisor Stellwagen
was the only member TO vote against
the separation.
The separation came following COM
plants of some Crosse lie citizens
that their colony was held back from
many improvements by the fact that
the public moneys had to be used In
part for Monguagon. although the lat
ter did not pay nearly as much In
taxes. The supervisory action makes
Crosse lie q separate township, and
Monguagon will continue without the
aid OF the island. The mainland peo-
pie did not object to any extent to
the separation. and only those who
feared an increase In taxation In both
places voiced protests.
The board decided to ask the state
legislature to pass an act as framed
by Prosecutor Frazer, covering annex.
ations. The question arose over an
argument favoring the annexing of
st. Clair Heights. II was declared
that the present law Is so involved
that no one can figure out just what is
meant by IL. and future complications
might arise II Detroit took In any
more territory under It's workings.
The board refused to indorse the
proposed law whereby the state and
county would join In building good
roads. The board held that Wayne
county could and had built her own
roads and they objected to paying
taxes for the use of other counties.
The request OF Charles Daniel,
game warden for an increase In sal
airy Was refused. The board said II
did not have the power to grant the
request. as the game warden is state
appointe.

about to lose his grip on the crowd.
Then came Chase 8. Osborn, Repub-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s-while
war department officiafs were unan
imous today In agreeing there is nc
extraordinary excitement over the
far eastern situation, they admitted
that the Philippines are being armed
and provisioned rapidly. In part the
reason for this is a comprehensive

ground to the activity.

ter settled and requiring no formally
to accept us, nor should we wait to
be definitely charged for Mexico Of
all places seems now to show the
folly of ancient history as applied
after instead of on invasion. In fact
we have assumed obligation and we
should NOT dodge now. 1t IS question
able whether there would ever be a
civil ratification Of military events
where there is no recognized govern
ment Hence we need not assume our
government will be undesirable nor
the Mexican constitution desirable.
In war we can promise no great lib
erty but we can invite to great consid-
Grafton of details and just principles,
on which we have ever recognized
governments and peoples. Mexicans
could be reached by General Miles:
"They (the United States) release
you from your former political rela-

the government of the United States
and with that protection for your
