British Captured Prairie Du CHEN
100 Years AGO.

Wisconsin's share in the War of 1912
centered chiefly about the struggle be-
tween the British and American forces
for the control of Prairie do Chen.
One hundred years ago in May, a force
of 200 American soldiers from st. Louis
laboriously assembled the Mississippi to
Prairie du Chen and captured without
a blow the ancient French fur-trade
station. The inhabitants fled to the
woods, but they We're gradually induced
to return, and peace was made with the
neighboring Indians. This accomplish
ed, Fort Shelby was constructed of logs,
garrisoned by sixty soldiers, and the
remainder Of the force returned to st.
Louis.
But the American occupation proved
short lived. Gathering at Green Bay
and even distant Mackinac, an over
whelming force of British and Indians
toiled painfully across Wisconsin. 1t
fell upon Fort Shelby and after a brisk
bombardment from the single British
cannon, the Americans surrendered,
being permitted to retire down the
Mississippi to rejoin their comrades at
st. Louis. Thereafter until the end of
the war the Union Jack waved over the
fort at Prairie du Chen. Many inter
esting reminders of these stirring events
on the far frontier of a century ago are
to be found in the volumes of Green
Bay and Prairie du Chen papers in the
Wisconsin Historical Library at Madi-

RUSSIA

LONDON, Dec. 18.-The most des.
perate fighting Of the entire eastern
campaign is now developing on line
within thirty miles Of the city Of War
saw.
Berlin is celebrating what is accept
ed as great victory over the Rus
SLAMS as the result Of an official state
ment that the enemys offensiv-
against Posen and SlIesia has com
pIetely broken down. From Petro.
grad, reports have come that the Rus
slams lines south Of the vistula have
been drawn back nearer Warsaw for
strategic reasons. II is evident how.
ever, that the battle upon which the
fate of Warsaw may rest Is only now
approaching climax.
The German official statement here
is regarded as covering the campaign
more from defensive standpoint than
an offensive. BY forcing the Russians
to retreat not only in central Poland,
but on the southern line, the Germans
have relieved the danger Of invasion
Of their territory.
BY establishing their main position
about Sochaczew the Russians have
retreated fifteen miles from the How.
Lowicz line. The Germans are today
reported to be vigorously Smelling the
Russian positions and the important
railroad town which the cars army is
now guarding has already been dam
aged.
The German force engaged in the
main advance upon Warsaw Is now
said to number more than 100000
men. The Russians have an even
greater force and reinforcements are
being poured into the battle region.

and Marshal Won Hindenberg himself
is too great a military genius for over
confidence to play any part in the
present extravagant demonstrations
of victory. The facts themselves do
not warrant a belief that Russia is
decisively beaten. 1t is indeed prob
able that the Slavs will never be able
to get far into Prussia's eastern prov
inces. but this is by no means a GER
rainty Nor does 1t warrant sudden
ly developed deduction that Ger
many's eastern trials are over.
And yet SO extensive and SO unex-
pected is the German jubilation, that
there must be reason for it. Prob
ably this reason is strictly military, a
part of Germany's all inclusive STRAIT
egy. It's cause is the Austrian dis
aster in Seryia.
The defeat of the Austrians by the
Serbs coming with such dramatic
suddenness, has undoubtedly deeply
impressed not only the other Balkan
countries but also Turkey. Berlin's
publicly voiced anger at Austria has
been due to the added difficulties
which Servia's recovery has undoubt-
edly created for the Germans at Con-
stantinople. Turks now have more
reason than ever to fear formation of
a new Balkan league and thus will be
reluctant to send too many of their
troops from Constantinople. At the
same time the Servians easy victory
il a potent agent for insuring the rest
OF the Balkans to join the war and
expand at Austria's expense.
