NEWS OF THE DAY

The 700 refugees brought to Alex
andria, Egypt, by the United STATES

feat Of the, Turks at the Suez Cahai
was more serious even than has been
thought. Djemal Pacha is SAID TO DC
discouraged, and has stated, it is dei
clarcd, his intention to abandon inc
invasion of Egypt unless new army
IS Forthcoming. The Germans IN
Jaffa state that many German OFF,
c.rs have been killed. The Germans
first divulged the defeat in their eN-
asperation with the Turks:
Frederick Ulmer shot Ethel Odeli
Thursday night in the subway sta
t;on at 1slst street. The police say
the pirl had tired of Ulmer, though
thew had won many trophies together
as fine tango dancers. sThe hospital
surgeons say neither has chance Oh
living She is Is and he Is ~.
American marines have been land

defeat Of the Theodore forces at Sam

under General vilbrun Guillaume.
The critical situation about by the
German naval program mas ereAl'y

rot vet been received. No real M
c,s;ncss is felt as to Hollands posi-
ton. but every precaution has been
taken by all branches of the defensive
forces in view of possible cVehtnali-
ties.

S95,000 FOR STATE FAIR
Sum Will Be Available When Ter
Acres of Grounds Are Ac-
quired by Society.

MadisOn-When condemnation pro-
ceedings adding ten acres to the state
fair grounds on the east are conclud-
ed, $4,000 will be available for i'm
provements on the state fair grounds
before the 1916 fair. Before this
money is available, however, deeds
to the land must be filed in the office
of the secretary Of state and the prop
erty duly accepted by Commissioner
of Agriculture c. P. Norgord.
Commissioner Norgord conferred
with District Attorney label and dis
covered that the condemnation pro-
ceedings are progressing, and that
there seems to be nothing in the way
of final transfer of the land to the
state within thirty days.
Upon conclusion of condemnation
proceedings there will be available
for immediate use for the State Fair
$4,000 for swine and sheep barns
and $4,000 for two additional sec
tons of the concrete grandstand
The new swine and sheep barns
will accommodate about $500 ami
mails, and the additional sections of
the grandstand will give the stand a
total seating capacity of 5000.
It is expected that plans for the
1916 state fair will be thoroughly
discussed by department Of agricul-
ture officials and the state fair ad-
visory board early in November.
