WINSTON CHURCHILL RESIGNS.

London.-It is officially announced
that Winston Spencer Churchill, Chan
cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, has
resigned from the Cabinet and will
join the army in France.
Churchill in his letter of resignation
explains that he agrees in the forma-
ton of a small war council, and ap-
preciates the intention which Prime
Minister Asquith expressed to in
clude him among its members.
He foresaw the difficulties that the
Prime Minister would have to face in
Its composition, he says, and he makes
no complaint because the scheme was
changed, but with that change his
work in the Government naturally
closed.
He asserts he could not accept a
position of general responsibility for a
war policy without any effective
share in its guidance and control, and
did not feel able in times like these
to remain in well-paid inactivity.

Riuht of Refuge Demanded if Troops Are Forced Back
from Serbia--Threat to Remove Constantine
Should He Favor TeutOns
KAISER TO SEND u-BoATs TO MEDITERRANEAN

London.-An intimation of the
Greek Government that any Entente
Allied troops seeking refuge in Greek
territory will be disarmed has been
the of considerable anxiety to
the Entente powers, and consequently
Field Marshal Earl Kitchener's Near
East visit gains added importance.
According to belated dispatches re-
ceived from Athens, Greece bases her
decision on international law, while
the Entente Ministers contend that the
right accorded troops to enter the
country through Salonica permits
them to retire by the same route,
should it become necessary for them
to do so. The Ministers are demand
ing that Greece define unequivocally
the attitude she will observe should
such an eventuality present itself.
Besides the claims to hospitality
which the Entente Allies declare they
have on Greece in view of the then
Premier Venizelos' invitation to them
to send a force to Salonica to enable
Greece to fulfill her treaty obligations
to Serbia, which, however, Greece re-
pudiated, Earl Kitchener and the En-
tente Ministers are likely to draw the
attention Of King Constantine and his
Government to the fact that the con-
s~titutionalism of Greece was guaran-
teed by France, Russia, and Great
Britain, and that it was only obtained
after Great Britain had coded the Ion
ian Islands to that country and the
three powers had agreed to contribute
$4,000 ($20,000) yearly for the per-
sonal use of the King.
This, it is commended, binds the
Greek people to the Entente Allies,
and should King Constantine override
the Constitution, which the followers
of M. Venizelos insist he did when
he dissolved the Chamber, it is sug-
gested in some quarters that King
Constantine would be reminded that
his retention of the throne of Greece
depends on the continuance Of friend
ers.
The Germans, on the other hand, are
declared to be assuring the Greek Gov
eminent that Greece will be protected
against the Entente Allies should that
country support the Central Powers,
and that as evidence of the ability of
Austria and Germany to do this they
are dispatching more submarines to
the Mediterranean which could be
used against any fleet threatening
Greek ports.

BRITISH CONSUMPTION DEC. 1.

BRITISH CONSCRlP llON OGS' H
London.-A strong intimation OF
compulsory enlistments at an early
date is contained in a statement by
the Earl Of Derby, director OF re-
cruiting. This statement is made,
Lord Derby asserts, with the author1-
ty of the Prime Minister. 1t says:
eff young men medically fit INT not
indispensable in any business of ma
tional Importance or any business
conducted for the general good of the
community do not come forward
voluntarily before November 30, the
Government will, after that date, take
the necessary steps to redeem the
pledge made on November 2"
On November 2 Prime Minister AS
quith announced in the House of Com
mons that if young men did not come
forward voluntarily and enlist, other
and compulsory means would be taken
before married men were called upon
to fill their engagement to serve"
Lord Derby adds: whether a
man is indispensable or not to his
business will be decided, not by the
man or his employers, but by compel
ent authorities and tribunals which
are being set up to consider such
cases."

wasbington.-The State Depart
ment. successfully tracing the life OF
Lieutenant Robert Fay for the last
sixteen years, has verified his con
fession that he was sent to this coun'
trv by the German Secret Service 10
cripple munition-carry ships.
Announcement of this fact, winch
is certain to make the conspiracy IN
covered when Fay and his associate
Scholz, were arrested in Hoboken an
international issue, was accompanied
by the information that Fay was redl
Nv a commissioned officer in the kal'
ser's infantry, as he said. Ful COT
roboration of his story of connections
in Germany is in the hands OF the
Washington authorities.
Through it's agents in Berlin, 1t was
learned, the State Department mas
definitely c~orrobrated Fays state
ments hat he was authorized by MS
superiors to come to the United States
and attach bombs to merchant steam
ers. His confession that before leaV-
ing on the mission he conferred with
one Johannson, a high official Oh tne
Secret Service in Brussels, has peen
verified.
simultaneously with announcement
of the new significance given the de-
struction plot came the assertion o
an authoritative source that Fay mas
offered to turn Governments evidence
and has made a new and complete
confession.
Disconsolate over his desert1on Dy
the German Government n his re-
pudiation by its diplomatic of1clals,
his spirit broken by three weeks IN
the Tombs, it is understood h young
officer has made new n startling
revelations and has offered to lay bare
MANS for for the work ~intrusted to
him. in the hope that in exchange ne
will be permitted to terminate his ex-
perience with American prisons.
Tilted States officials are convinced
hat Fay's aid may prove the most
important step yet made oward clear
ing up the entire alleged German on
spiracy in the United States. IL is
understood the new confession brings
into the plot more important names
than have yet been mentioned IN It's
connection, and supplies information
vital to the investigation of conspira-
cies other than the disabling of ships
blowing up of chemical works, burn
ing of munition plants, and other
phases of the activities which are as
serted not to have ceased with the de-
parture Of Dr.. Dumba.

his name taken from the list until
the limit of the prohibition expires,
at the end of one year. 1t makes no
difference so far as the law is con-
cerned, whether or not there was Just
cause for putting the man on the list.
If his name once gets on the list in
legal form, he has no recourse, and he
cannot lawfully obtain liquor for the
prescribed period. In line with the
decision Of the attorney general is one
by Judge Reid of the Wausau circuit.
An action had been brought in his
court to have man removed from
the posted list. The Judge dismissed
the action on the ground that the
law provided no remedy in such cases.
Apparently there are only two routes
open to man who does not want to
be in the prohibited class. One is to
keep off the list. The other is to
wait until the year expires and then
stay Off efferson Democrat.

YELLOWSTONE TRAIL.

| A great deal is being written Oy our
neighbors about the Yellowstone
Trail association, more especially by
those who want to be on the trail.
The plan is to construct an auto
highway from Chicago to Seattle, by
the shortest direct route possible, the
road being constructed by the people
living adjacent to the highway. The
trail as laid out through Wisconsin at
the present time is via Chicago, Mil
waukee, Oshkosh, Waupaca, Stevens
Point Marshfield, Chippewa Falls
and on to st. Paul and Minneapolis.
1t is proposed to make the road one
of the best in the country.
We, of Wausau, cannot see how the
venture can be made success with
out injecting into it goodly amount
of "Wausau Spirit" However, if
the powers behind the movement do
not want this, we will have to put in
a crushed granite road to Stevens
Point, which ought to have been
done long ago, and join this process
sion there. There is no use to worry
over the fact that Wausau is not on
the line, but rather let US rejoice
that we will be so near good thor
oughfare across the continent, one on
which all may go and see the sights
Of our country, in q $4,000 car if you
are SO fortunate as to own one, if not,
in a much less pretentiOus one; even
on motor cycle and the poor editor
can make the trip on his ever trusty
bicycle. So let US rejoice.
The meeting at Marshfeld was
gigantic success. 1t was decided to
relay run over the proposed route,
starting from Chicago on June 18th.
The first car will run to milwaukee.
The second to Oshkosh, where the
third relay will begin. The cars will
run day and night, and when acci-
dents occur another auto will be in
readiness. The distance is 2,433 miles
and it is hoped to make the trip in
100 hours. The relay will carry a
message from the mayor Of chicago
to the mayor Of Seattle. In the mean
time crowds along the route will get
out and clean the highway of stones
and distractions generally fill up rutS,
drag and put it in the best shape pos
sible and from now on the work of
improving the highway will be carried
on increasingly. The following Off
GERS were elected to carry on this
work:

MURDER AT RHINELANDER.

On Saturday night, May 22d, a man
by the name of Andrew ReSman was
found brutally murdered at Rhine
lander. The mans head was nearly
severed from his body by knife or
some other sharp instrument. in the
hands of some of his cOuntrymen,
presumably on the bank Of the Wis
consin river in the outskirts. Four
men, of Finnish nationality. giving
their names as Victor Salmi, Martin
Maxi, Jack Samuelson and Elmer
Anderson, have been arrested for the
crime.
The body was found Sunday morn
ing by two little boys while playing.
There was a bad wound on the top Of
his head as if hit by hammer or
other blunt instrument. Besides cut
ting his throat there were many
knife stabs in the neck and face. On
investigation two empty whiskey
bottles were foundgnear the scene,
also large jack knife. The dead
mans coat was found where it had
been thrown off and there was every
appearance of a deadly struggle. The
suspects admit having been with de-
ceased until late that night, but deny
any knowledge of the killing.
The liquor was stolen from the City
Hotel. They admit that they were all
drunk that night They are more like
animals than human beings, being ex-
tremely illiterate. They occupy
separate cells and are being put
through rigid examination.

IRON ORE DISCOVERED.

There have been more discoveries
of deposits of iron ore in northern
Wisconsin, and it seems that the
Superior county is not the only place
where the high grade ore exists. The
Wisconsin legislature had faith that
such is the case and two years ago ap-
propriated funds for prospecting and
soon a report will be turned out con-
cerning a survey of some 100000
acres. The work which has just begun
embraces the territory in which are the
following towns: Cameron, Spooner,
Hayward, Cable Morse, Park Falls,
Minocqua, Prentice, Phillips, Winter,
Ladysmith and Halcombe. Much
prospecting will be done in this ter
ritory as soon as reports are issued.
1t is well known that the whole of
northern Wisconsin has deposits OF
iron ore. In Marathon and Wood
counties are large deposits of low
grade and some day perhaps, will be
found on which will pay to mine.
From the very earliest settlement OF
this county it has been known that
iron ore existed here in large quanti-
titles.
Marshall Hill has always proved an
annoyance to surveyors, because OF
the deposits of iron ore; their com
passes would refuse to work with &C
curacy. Much money has been sunk
in prospecting for iron in this and
Wood county. Perhaps this survey
may bring to notice some thing more
tangible to work upon than in the
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1915-06-01

PILOTS NIGHT HAWK.

The Wausau Pilots pet night hawk
which makes a summer home of an
elm tree in the PILOT's back yard, has
arrived for its summer sOjourn. For
the past six years it has arrived dur
ing May. from the 18th to the 9th.
1t is quite an interesting character,
and after putting in the night as
night hawks do, it sits in the elm al
day and makes eyes at the PILOT's
lady compositors. Editor Thayer sets
his watch by this bird, and says he
is certain it is the same bird each

to show for his type setters.-Mosi
