the following statement to-day re-
garding the British raid on the Ger

"On Friday. December %, the Ger
man warships lying off Schilling
Roads. on Cuxhaven. were attacked
by seven naval seaplanes piloted by
Flight Commanders Oliver, Hewlett.
Ross and Kilner, Flight Lieutenants
Miley and Edwards and Sub-Lieuten-
ant Blackburn.
The attack was delivered in day
light, starting from a point In the vi.
entity OF Helgoland. The seaplanes
were escorted by a light cruiser and
destroyer force. together with sub
marines. As these ships were seen by
the Germans from Helgoland. two Yep
pelins and three or four hostile sea
planes and several hostile submarines
attacked them.
1T was necessary for the British
ships 10 remain in the neighborhoOd
to pick mp the returning airmen. and
a novel combat ensued between the
most modern cruisers and the enemy g
aircraft and submarines. BY swift
maneuvering the enemy's submarines

While the Germans on the Bzura

ported to be advancing, the Austrians
appear to be having a hard struggle
TO maintain their positions east OF
the Dunajec river although they seem
TO be holding their own on its lower
reaches and also to be gaining
ground steadily in the Carpathians.
The Servians again are back ct
the border among the Drina ana
Save rivers but probably are not in
considerable force.
"Constantinople reports that the ac-
ton against Batum is proceeding fav-
orably. The holy banner OF the Pro.

Gus amid great rejoicing.
THE Rome newspaper Vita reports
an outbreak OF rioting in Alexandria.
Egypt. Three thousand men with
machine guns the paper says, were
necessary to suppress the disorder
Eighty-five Arabs were killed.
"A report from Copenhagen says
the authorities at Warsaw have moved
from that city to Wilma.
The Secolo of Milan says Seryia
is refusing transit to bulgarian ammu-
milton steamers on the Danube and
that this action is exasperating But

MISS sTEARNs RESIGNED.

For seventeen years Miss Lutte
Stearns has been at the head of the
travelling library department of the
Wisconsin Free Library Commission,
and recently handed in her resigna-
tion, to take effect on the lst day of
October. Her intention is to enter
the lecture field. The past year her
success as a lecturer has beer so great
that this step has been fully war
ranted. Her services now are sought
more especially by the General FEEDER
alton of Women's clubs and requests
have been made upon her to lecture
in eleven different states. She has
long been in the lecture field, address
ing large audiences in various COM
munities upon the necessity of start
ing libraries, has urged woman's
suffrage, spoken at teachers in
stitutes. county fairs, ETC., and is
a notable person of our state.
During the seventeen years in
which she was at the head of the
travelling library department, she
aided in establishing $50 free public
libraries and between 400 and 1900
travelling libraries, including fourteen
county systems.

CAN'T DO 1T.

Atty. Gen. Owen on Friday put a
damper on the merry practice of hold
ing beer picnics. L. Olson Ellis, dis
trict attorney of Jackson county, in
quired of the attorney general:
"Where a party of five or six per-
sons get together for the purpose of
having 55cel picnic and two of that
number 90 TO a saloon and buy two
kegs or beer and later meet at the
grove where crowd gathers, minors
as we'll as adults, and the beer is given
to those present, minors as well as
adults, and after the picnic is ended
collection is taken up to pay for the
beer, will that constitute the offense
of selling liquor without license and
also selling or giving away liquor TO
minors ?"
Atty. Gen. Owen declares this is
clearly violation of the statute for
bidding the sale or giving away of
liquor to minors and that party is
liable to prosecution. He declared
that the question as to whether there
was sale without a license could be
determined only by a more careful
survey of the facts. If the parties in
question merely acted as the repre-
sentative of the crowd they Will not
be liable. If they made profit on
the beer, it would be pretty clear
proof that there was an Illegal sale.

THE PAPER BAG PLANT.
A New Industry Soon to Put It's Wheels
In Motion in Wausau and Put
More Life in the City.

The Badger Bag & Paper cOmpany's
new building is now undergoing COM
pletion, the finishing touches being
put on and installation of the machin-
cry progressing. The ground floor is
made of cement and the second floor
Is of hardwood. Two elevators have
been installed and workmen are busily
engaged in placing in the building a
steam heating outfit for the comfort
of the EN- mployes in cold weather. The
machines icing placed came here in
car load lots, of about twenty-five
loads and just as soon as received
they are unloaded, properly placed
and at once made ready for operation.
The factory is to be run by electricity
and crude oil engine, which are be-
ing placed on the first floor. Most of
the machines are to be on the second
floor, placed in rows and will cover
nearly its entire available space.
The office is on the first floor with all
conveniences for the force employed
there. So also is the heavier machin-
cry, the motor and steam power and
the steam heating apparatus. AS
stated before in this paper, the build
ing is constructed of steel, tiling and
cement, covered with an iron roof
and is practically fire proof, excepting
of course the partitions and the doors
and windows throughout the build
ing. The superintendency of this
new plant is in charge of George
Blackstock, who, accompanied by his
wife, arrived here last week and who
has already assumed full charge. Mr..
Blackstoek comes here from Balti-
more, Md, is genial young gentle
man, practical and energetic and
hopes to have the concern in busy
working order by November 1st, or
very soon thereafter. The establish
ment Of this new factory in Wausau
will greatly add to our manufacturing
interests and will still pave the way
and open our doors for the reception
of other manufacturing concerns of
every description seeking location.
