wife Runs Business.


Every day since Hicks gave himself
up to Anthony Comstock and insisted
upon going to Jail to serve the
sentence imposed many wears ego Mis-.
Hicks has been running the business
with the assistance OF a loyal old
printer who has been sticking type for
for.v-eisht years.
The compositor il now Mrs. Hicks's
only employee, as the Did wooden legged
pressmtn threw up his job and liked
for Chicago. The printer received u
post card from him yesterday saying
that he was going to return to New
York and his job. so things looked a
little brighter in the printing shop, par
ticularly as the boss himself would re-
turn soon and the little mother would
be able to give all her time to the
babies. The oldest child is only 4.
The old printer said he was never
able to see any sense N Hicks's idea that
1t was his duty to do his bit after so
many years.
THE offence wasn't what you call a
serious one he said. land the Govern
ment wasn't worrying about ii. Every
body had forgotten all about II. Con-
sciences are curious things and after all
1t was up TO Hicks to do as his con-
science dictated.
when he went to Anthony Com
stock and told him what he was going
TO do Comstock said he was a fool. In
fact, understand Comstock told him
h was a damn fool. I'm mighty glad
the boss is coming back and | hope the
church folks will throw a lot OF bust
ness his way. He surely deserves their
support and more jobs are needed TO
make that splendid mother and those
thrac littla bids forget their troubles.

that under the circmustances-you know
his wife didn't know anything about it
! would have con-. and then the
letter carrier arrived with the card
from the old pressman and the printer
didn't finish.
Although Mrs. Hicks wouldn't talk
about the homecoming OF her husband
and what II will mean to the little ones,
1t is understood hat she is daily pray
ing that when the children grow up they
will never o that their father found
it necessary to go to Jail for his con

reasons why he temporarily gave uI

GREECE REFUSES MILITARY
AID TO ENTENTE POWERS
Isle of Cyprus and Other Concessions
Offered for Nations Cooperation
With Serbia.

London, Oct. 25.-Greece has in
formed the entente powers that she
cannot at present accept the proposals
made in return for her participation in
the war.
These proposals in cluded the ceding
of the Island of Cyprus to Greece. as
well as other territorial and financial
concessions, in return for Greek mill
tary cooperation with Serbia.
The Greek reply, which is lengthy,
reached the foreign office Friday night.
The text of the document was not
made public.
The reply was not unexpected. It
has often been stated IN official circles
that both Roumania apd Greece were
withholding their assistance until the
allies either won decisive victory or
until their operations had reached a
stage which would preclude the over
running of the countries by the forces
of the central powers or the Turkish
and Balkan allies.

INCREASE IN RECEIPTS
$7,709,920 During the Years
From 1905 to 1915.

Madison.-Total receipts of the
state department Of insurance from
taxes, fees and other sources during
the ten years from 1905 to 1915
were, according to compilations made
by State Insurance Commissioer M.
J. Cleary, $7,709,920 During the
same period the total expenses of the
insurance department, including sal
aries of $205,681.14 paid to en-
ployes, were $315,452.40.
The receipts show a gradual an
,nual increase from $572,778.95 in
1905 to s1,057,26O.35 in 1914. In
1905 the expenses of the department
were $19,717.96; in 1914, $751;
1000. The increase in the number
of companies licensed to do business
was sixty-four. In 1914 the figures
were: Fire companies, (not including
domestic mutuals) 218; life, acct
dent, casualty, and fraternal, 173;
domestic mutuals, 266; total, 657.
The value of insurance supervised
by the department has doubled dur
ing the last ten years, as has the rev.
enue collected. This is due in part
to the natural increase in business
and also to changes in the law which
has brought over forty unauthorized
companies under supervision.

THREE u, S. SOLDIERS
KILLED BY MExICANS
Eight Yankees Wounded in Engage
ment Near Ojo de Agua-Fifteen e.
Against rs Bandits.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct 23.-Three
United States soldiers were killed and
eight others wounded in an engage
ment with Mexican bandits near Ojo
de Aqua, about two o'clock Thursday
morning. The troops guarding the
place, which is near Mission, Tex,
and about thirty miles north of
Brownsville, were attacked by large
band.
List of dead: Sergeant Shafer,
Troop G., Third cavalry; Private Joyce,
Company D, signal corps, and Private
Mcconnell. same company
Capt. Frank r. Mccoy arrived with
relieving troops, and the bandits fell
back in the brush between Ojo de
Aqua and the Rio Grande. Addition
al troops were rushed to the scene
from nearby border patrol stations,
and search made for the bandits.
The bandits apparently failed in
their purpose to take the American
troops by surprise. A picket reported
their presence in time to give the
troopers a chance to take positions
for their desperate resistance against
odds.
The fifteen soldiers, fighting one
against five, against Mexicans skilled
in brush shooting, held their ground,
although half of them were put out of
commission, until relief came from
Mission, two miles. away, where
Captain Mccoy had two troops in re-
serve. Captain Mccoy took two
troops of cavalry, totaling about sixty
men, to the rescue, and the Mexicans
fled at his approach.
At least five Mexicans were killed
in the battle. The dead Mexicans
wore white hatbands bearing the
words, 'Vive Villa"

for Volunteers.

King George of Great Britain Pleads
for Volunteers.
London, Oct. 25.-King George on
Friday night issued an appeal to all
classes of the British people to come
forward and share their responsibility
in the war. In the message, which was
issued from Buckingham palace, the
king said the end of the war was not
in sight The message follows:
ITO the People: At this grave mo-
ment in the struggle between my peo-
pie and highly organized enemy who
has transgressed the laws of nations
and changed the ordinance that binds
civilized Europe together, l appeal to
you.
Il rejoice in my empires effort. I
feel pride in the voluntary response
from my subjects all over the world
who have sacrificed home, fortune, life
itself, IN order that another may not
inherit the free empire which their
ancestors and mine built.
II ask you to make good these sacri-
fees. The end is not in sight. More
men, and yet more, are wanted to keep
my armies in the field, and, through
them. secure victory and enduring
peace.
In ancient days the darkest mo-
ment ever produced in the men of our
race the sternest resolve. I ask you
men of all classes to come forward
voluntarily and take your share in the
fight.
In freely responding to my appeal
you will be giving your support to our
brothers who for long months have
nobly upheld Great Britain's past ira
ditions and the glory of her arms.

CHIEF ENGINEER MAKES iNsPEc.
TON TOUR AND FINDS ROAD
IN GOOD SHAPE.
ROADS POORER IN SOUTH
Milwaukee, RichIand and Fond du Lac
Alone in Adoption of County
PIan-Others Retain
Town System.

MadiSon.-Roads are much better
in northern Wisconsin than in the
southern sections of the state, accord
ing to Chief Engineer A. R. Hirst,
who has just returned from an in
spection tour in the upper region.
In Ashland county, he said, is a
single stretch of sixty-f1ve miles of
road over every foot of which auto
mobiles may be safely driven at high
speed. Other long stretches, he said
are found in various of the northern
counties eight, ten and even twenty
miles of finished road without a
break.
This condition, Mr.. Hirst said, is
due to the fact that many of the
northern counties have adopted the
county system in place of the town
system. These counties are Douglas,
Bayfield,, Sawyer, Ashland, Iron,
Oneida, Villas, Florence, Wood and
Chippewa. Several others are to
adopt the system next year.
In the southern section the only
counties to adopt the county plan are
Milwaukee, Richland and Fond du
Lac. All the other southern coun-
ties retain the town system, which
spells patchwork-a little stretch of
good road here, a little there, with
mudholes in between. In view of the
old highway adage that "no road is
better than it's poorest spot" the folly
of this system is apparent.
Mr.. Hirst was in the western sec
ton Of the state short time ago and
said he found the state aid work in
that region in satisfactory condition,
much more so than he expected

FOUR ARRESTED
IN BOMB PLOT.
German Lieutenant Planned to
Blow Up Liners.
coNFEssEs TO THE POLICE
Robert Fay Says He Came to United
States From Germany to Stop
War Supplies to
Allies.

New York, Oct. 27.-Details of a
plot to hamper the shipment of NUM-
tons of war to the entente allies by
rudders or propellers of ships, so
timed that the ships would be dis
abled on the way across the Atlantic,
were disclosed on Monday in the
confession of one of five men charged
in a complaint fled with United
States commissioner with conspiracy
to violate federal statute.
Following the confession of Robert
Fay, lieutenant of the Sixteenth
Saxon infantry, who admitted that he
came to this country last April,
through an agreement with the Ger
man secret service, to blow up or de-
lay steamships laden with war sup
plies for the allies, William j. Flynn,
chief Of the secret service, filed be-
fore United States Commissioner
Houghton a complaint in which Fay
and four other men are charged with
promoting the conspiracy.
The hearing on the federal charge
was set for November 4.
Fay confessed that while on the bat
tlefield he talked with his superior Of
ficer about a device he had invented
to blow up ships; that later his idea
of coming to America and carrying
his scheme through was we'll received
by the German secret service; that he
came supplied with money to act on
his own responsibility and that he
talked with Captain Won Papen, Ger
man military attache, and Capt K.
Boyd, naval attache of the German
embassy, about the plan, but they re-
fused to have anything to do with it.
. Quantities of acid in the room &C.
cupied by Fay and Walter l.. Scholz
in Weehawken, N. j., and boxes con-
tanning 120 pounds each of chlorate
of potash, used in making so-called
sugar bombs, in boathouse on the
Hudson, had been found after the ar
rest of these men Sunday. SchOlZ, a
brOther-in-law of Fay, is a mechanic.
Two other men were arrested and
another, making the fifth, was named
in the complaint, but he has not been
apprehended. The new arrests were:
Paul Daeche of Jersey City, came
to the United States in 1912; DR.. Her
bert Kienzle, twenty-eight years old,
manager of a clock company; Max
Breitung
The men are charged with con-
spring to violate a section of the
United States criminal code.
The most concrete evidence the au-
thorities obtained in the case was the
equipment. Among the effects were:
A chart of New York harbor, showing
location of all steamship piers; two
hundred bomb cylinders, twenty-five
pounds of tri-nitrate of toluol, twenty
five sticks of dynamite, four hundred
percussion caps, five ingenious mines,
each capable of blowing a liner to
pieces, with time.clock attachments

DEFENDS KILLING

Staying of English Nurse.
GAVE AID TO THE ENEMY
Berlin Statement Asserts That the
! German General of Belgium Warned
AGAINST Practice-Asserts French
Slew Two German Women.

Amsterdam, Oct 26, via London
The following inspired telegram re-
ceived from Berlin by way of Brus-
sells, dealing with the execution of
Miss Cavell, was published here on
Sunday:
las the foreign press is discussing
in an incorrect and exaggerated man
ner the execution of the English wom-
an, Edith Cavell, for treason, the cir
cumstances in the case, according to
the facts, may again be stated.
1t was proved after long trial of
the sentenced persons that they for
some months past had been engaged
is assisting BelgiaHs of military age
to enlist in hostile armies and in en-
abling French and English deserters
to escape the country. They had many
helpers and had organized branches.
THE governor general had repeat
edly issued warnings against such &C
tivity, pointing out that severe punish
ment for such action was unavoidable.
THE guilty persons were sentenced
in a public sitting, according to the
law based on the provisions of the inn
perial penal code and the military
penal code for war treason and es-
pionage.
No special law exists for Belgium
and no So-called usage of war intlu-
enced the verdict of the court.
THE accused, for the most part, adj
mitted their guilt, and acknowledged
they were aware of the severe penal
ties they were risking.
Miss Cavell was the principal agent
in the plot to enlist Belgians for the
allies. With regard to the assertion
that she in the course of her profess
sion unselfishly tended other persons
it may be pointed out that she earned
a living by nursing charging fees
within the means CT rich people only.
Women also have been executed
in France, as was instanced in March
last, when the German woman, Mar
garct Schmidt, was executed at Nam
cy, and in May at Bourges, when the
German, Optilie Moss, was put to
death.
THE English government may re-
member the cruelties committed by
Lord Kitchener during the Boer war
On women and children.
Our present enemies do not need
to protect their armies against pop
ulation and hostile occupied coun-
try, nor are they under the necessity
of pronouncing or executing such SEN
fences, for they have occupied so little
hostile territory"
