CRANK WITH IDEA OF ENDING THE WAR

RETIREMENT NOW
DENIED BY NAVY
DEPARTMENT HEAD

(Assoeiated Press by Federal Wirelessl
: WASHINGTON, D.-c., July 3y-The
names Of the % naval officers who ap-
piled for retirement under the terms
of the Personnel act Of 1899, have not
been given out by the navy depart.
ment. The mere announcement that
the privilege has been withheld at the
discretion Of the secretary is made.
1t was believed by officers on the
naval service that the voluntary re-
tiremeuts would in great measure take
the place of the pluekin2 board, the
abolition of which causes serious
block in promption. It has been
known for some time that a number
of officers would cTpiy for retirement,
and the refusal of the secretary to
act favoTably is a sad blow to many
juniors of the line. 2E.E
Il is believed that this will be the
last YER in which advantage may be
taken OF this law, for IL the new Per-
sonnel bill, prepared by the Roosevelt
Board, passes at the next session of
Congress the privilege thereafter will
be lost There is no doubt that the
new Personnel bill win be passed, as
members Of the Naval Committee of
both the House Of Representatives and
the Senate are reported to be in favor
of it. After the passing OF the new
Personnel bill all OF the officers in the
active list will become candidates for
the active reserve list in order to Gre
ate the necessary vacancies for a
steady fiow of promotion of those for
tunate enough to escape the plucking
out fer this list While it may be we'll
enough to say that ii is our patriotic
duty to serve no matter whit the con-
ditionE may be, no officer with the
least ambition for his future will care
to be placed in the active reserve list.
II is unreasonable to expect 1t, and

HUMANE SOCIETY
HOLDS Meeting
Many New Members Are
Being Enrolled by the
Conmittee--Address
Made.

At the meeting of the Sauk County
Humane society at the court house on
Wednesday evening the committee ap-
pointed to solicit memberships reported
excellent success. The election of Off
GERS was postponed for short time in
order that more may have an OppOr-
tunity to JOIN the society. E. P. Nc
Fetridge, the president, appointed Mrs.
R. B. Grlggs, Mrs. H. N. Jennings and
Mrs. H. E. Cole as a nominating COM
mittee. They will be able to report
soon.
James Melville of Madison gave the
address of the evening. He said that
humane work dated back to the time of
ancient Athens when one of the sena-
tors was banished because he was cruel
to bird. The he spoke of the work
in England and how the first society
was formed in the United States at the
time of the close of the Civil war. The
second was organized at Boston soon
after and this became famous through
the work of George B. Angel, who
spent his life in the cause. Later a ma
tional association was formed, Wiscon-
sin being included in the states with
active societies Following the activ-
tiles Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha,
Waukesha, Dane, Lacrosse and other
counties took up the work.
The duty of the humane officer is to
prevent cruelty and should be suppor-
ted by the members. Education is an

TOOK JOY RIDE
PAYS FINE FINE
Frank Moore Undertook to
See too Much of the
Country at One
Time.

Frank Moore bired a livery team at
the Luce barn and when he started
away was accompanied by William
Smith, son of Mel. Smith, as driver.
After going some distance on the West
Sauk road, he changed his mind and
turned back to Baraboo, saying that he
wanted to go to Fairfield. At the cor
ner of East and Twelfth streets he
struck the youth over the head with the
whip, it is alleged, and pushed him out
of the buggy. When the boy arrived
at the barn he told his troubles to those
present and an officer was summoned.
A trail led to the PIummer place in Fair
field, where Moore and the team were
found tangled up in the woods. Evidently
he was deep in his cups. After becom-
ing sober in the lookup he paid fine
and costs of $11.66.

Says the Nobility Make
Use of the Best Part
of Land.

Isaac Cohn of Baraboo is native of
that part of Russia where the war is
now in progress. Concerning that he
has written as follows:
According to information the Ger
mans are at Brest, Littoske, the same
place where the Polanders had the lat
est rebellion at the time of our Civil
War of the United States. Of course,
the Polanders could not stand the strain
of the Russian big army, which was at
an odds of ten to one, but it will not be
so easy to drive the Germans out of
that country on account of the immense
forest by the name of Belaversia, which
is forty by three hundred miles long.
This great forest would naturally be q
fortifcation to hold the Russians at bay
and on account OF the whole surround
ing country being very productive they
could live on the surplus of food. So me

BarabOO Resident Tells Of
Land Where Car Reigns

of the people in this part of Russia are
very poor. 1t is not the fault of tn
soil but it is on account of the Russian
management, for instance, all of the
good land of the country is occupied by
the nobility and it has been 80 for CEN
turies. Then too, the immense forest
belongs to the Gar of Russia himself
and the people are not allowed to pick
up a stick of wood, without first getting
permit, and paying the current price.
The most of the pheasants in that part
of the country live in villages located on
the poorest land which is selected by
the mobiles and it as been so for centur-
les. A traveller will travel for miles
and miles and will see beautiful fields
of grain and all at once he will encoun-
ter poor sandy land which will hardly
produce the seed used to plant it. If
the Germans would get a hold of this
country it would be the biggest bless
ing for all Europe. They would utilize
the almost inexhaustible supply of wal
nut trees, which the world needs, be-
sides they would not let the immens
population suffer in the midst of plenty.

Former Speaker Says Short
Session Impossible Under

1--WE need modern machinery for
modern legislation, said Merlin Hull,
former speaker of the assembly, who is
a Madison visitor, and until we do
some extensive reorganizing there
can be little hope of short sessions.
The business of this legislature
ought to be disposed of in ninety
days, a task which is impossible,
not because the members are not an
xious to do the work and return home,
but because our system is all wrong.
eve have changed the manner of
our government by the creation of
commissions, boards and committees,
but we stick to the old-time and we'll
worn machinery of legislation. l am
not prepared to offer the modern ma
chinery, but it strikes me that it is time
to name a committee to make a care
full study of the situation so that the
state may install legislative machinery,
in harmony with modern ideas.

ent legislature are earnest men and
are here trying to carry out the will OF
the people for greater economy in
state government. | don't think any
one is trying to kill time, but little will
be shown in the way of shorter ses-
sion. The opportunity is offered to
jockey before a committee and on the
floor of the house and the senate on any
bill. Too much time is wasted, there
is lack of common sense, and bust
ness sense and directness in doing bus

favor of Governor Phihpp's bill on the

right direction. Our educational system
is very impressive picture of disorgan

units fighting for all they can get, with
no idea of cooperation. Just imagine
