Statistics just made public from
Washington discloses the fact that there
are 5000. 900 able bodied men in the
United States who owe allegiance to
European powers. These naturaliza-
ton bureau figures showed 14.000, 600
foreign born persons in the country
who have not acquired citizenship. OF
the 5000, 600 able bodied males. most
of them are said to have had military
training, approximately $500. 900 were
given as Germans and Austrians. OF
the remaining $500. 600 records indicst-
ed that approximately 1850. 600 owe
allegiance to the entente allies.
Emphasizing their claim that these
men would only need equipment to con-
stitute formidable hostile force on
American soil, without the necessity
for invasion, preparedness advocates
were said to be planning to the most of
these figures in connection with their
military program.

tax on beer; the internal revenue re-
ceipts from Wisconsin on intoxicating
liquors fell off over $500, 200 the past

pect a still greater reduction in inter-

Madison, Aug. This year. for
the first time since Wisconsin took
rank with other leading states in the
matter of an annual state exposition
Wisconsin win present a truly Wis
consin fair.
Because of prevalence during early
months of the year of the foot and
mouth disease, horse, cattle. swine
sheep and poultry classifications were
closed to all except Wisconsin exhibit
tors. Not all of these classifeations
come under the dreaded disease. but
It was thought best to make a sweep
ing order and ascertain just how the
Wisconsin idea works out.
State Fair officials have received
every assurance from exhibitors con-
cerned that unusual efforts for a
strong exposition of Wisconsin re-
sources will be made.
Therefore, with the best attractions
ever presented at the Wisconsin state
Fair, with the best music and great
est number or bands ever gathered
on the fair grounds, and with tair
proper strongly augmented in all I'M
portant departments, patrons OF the
fair this year will be more than

Nat GOOD.NIN
IN 'eTHE MASTER HAND g
Famous Actor Star of World Film
Thriller Shown at Opera House
Tuesday, November 80.

"The Master Hand is based On the
play of, the same name by Carroll
Fleming. Nat c. Goodwin is the good
angel" of the story-a big-hearted, be-
nevolent man of affairs whose mission
in life seems to be to straighten out
other peoples troubles and make them
happy.
Rallston, the william of the story, has
married a rich widow and wants to get
her out of the way so that he can
spend her money. His ally is an un-
scrupulous woman doctor who drugs
Mrs. Rallston and connives with Rail-
stone and the keeper Of sanforium
to deprive the poor woman OK her lib
erty. The plot suoceecA
Ra'lstor reads a luxurious life on
his wife>s money and loses her for
tune in speculations. In his difficult
ties he goes to a friend, Bigelow, and
The latter agrees TO help him. But he
suspects Rallston Of perfdy towards
his wife, and discovering that the poor
woman is an inmate of the sanitarium,
disguises himself and secures her re-
lease.
Rallston dies as the result of an au-
torobile accident, and his wife and
daughter are reunited. The latter then
marries the young man of her choice.
Nat C. Goodwin has strong and
lovable character part in the play.
There are tremendously excitin g
scenes in Wall street; and the part of
the sinister woman doctor is a decid-
edly strong one. Some very pleasing
cnildren's scenes lend bright relief to
the drama. And a very big and hand
some dog will surely be favorite with
the audiences. The automobile acci-
dent is strikingly realistic.
Holding you right through by it's
strength and conviction of story, its
powerful acting, its thrills, excite
ments, surprises and intense human
interest, "The Master Hand" with Nat
&c. Goodwin, is fitting companion Of
