LaFoHefte on 1916 Campaign.

"a good man, and a strong man
and progressive man will have to be
named by the republicans in order to
have the least chance of defeating
President Wilson, who has been
good president" according to Sena-
tor Robert NJ. LaFollette, in an in
terview given out in st. Paul.
1.-THE old crowd of the republican
party-the standpatters-never felt
so cocky before in their lives as they
do now. They have been terribly
mistaken in the past. They will try
to capture the republican national
organization in 1916, and if they do,
they will have repeated the 1912 re-
publican wreck. The common people
of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa and
North and South Dakota are lust as
earnest as they ever were.
Il do not believe there is any chance
for this nation to become involved in
the European war although other
nations are attempting to involve it.
The war is terrible work of ruin
and destruction of human life. The
majority of us in the house and SEN
ate are firmly set against way. /
don't believe that the United States
will be swept off its feet by any war
nySJerla. In mexico the people are
working out their own destiny against
odds and handicaps that we cannot
realize. | don't believe this country
will or should interfere.
''The thing that l regret most per-
haps of all that happened in the last
session was the failure of President
Wilson's shipping bill. While some
of US would like to have seen certain
notifications in it, yet on the whole
it was worthy of every mans support
and would have been splendid step
in the right direction.

party will keep progressive it will be
regenerated. Pm going to keep filling

Pepxs and the otacousticon.

AS far back as 1868 experiments
were being made with what savants
called an ''otacousucon," which
brought distant sounds to the ear and
was a faroff promise of the ''long dis
lance" and wireless" messages of to-
day. Samuel Pepys was abroad In
those days, and, of course. he saw the

Last Sunday was Easter and all
Wausau's population went to church.

ing, threatening clouds and notwith-
standing the weather man had told
us that the weather was to be ideal,
it commenced to rain at about ii
O'Clock and continued the balance of
the day. 1t was not warm, gentle
rain, but cold, raw one, accompan-
led by an east wind. With it all,
there was spirit of rejoicing over
the triumph Of the risen Christ, which
Easter Sunday typifies. There was
special music, beautiful flowers any
many excellent sermons delivered APP
propTiate to the occasion. Easter Of
ferings were exceedingly liberal.
The new church of st. Johns con-
gregation was so nearly completed the
past week that the society was en-
abled to hold its services there on
Easter Sunday. 1t is a beautiful
structure, constructed of solid granite
of varigated colors, covering nearly
the entire length of the lot, l20 feet
north and south and about 80 feet
wide. The Guild Hall is attached to
the church at the north, running west
about so feet. There is a basement
under the whole church, making it
very complete for all purposes. Three
services were held in the church on
Easter. Holy communion at 700 a.
NJ, regular services at 1920 a. m.
and Knights Templar Service at 300
p. m. Rev. John Lloyd, rector of the
church, officiated. A profusion of
beautiful floral and well filled pews
marked the services.
The Union Young Peoples Union
was held in the NJ K. church Easter
morning at O'Clock with G. f. Ogden
as leader. There was a large attend

At the Roman Catholic churches
| high mass was celebrated and unusual
preparations were made in the way of
ceremonies and music.
There were special programs given
at the Evangelical churches and at

BERLIN, July 5.-Admiral Trubbel,

significant letter indicating that Amer

Admiral Trubbel warns Germans not
to underestimate the danger Of a breach

He openly questions the value of
submarine warfare az compared with
the maintenance of friendly relations
with America, asserting that what Ger

This letter is regarded as a remark
