State Prosperous, Says w. n. Hatton.
Conditions are better in Wisconsin
than in any other part of the country"
said former Senator w. H. Hatton of
New London. Il have recently been in
different parts of the country and am
glad to be able to say that Wisconsin
is far ahead of other states.
81 returned from a business trip
through the South, where conditions
are bad. The low price of cotton put
big crimp in every line Of business in
the South and East and with the iron
and lumber industry practically at a
standstill, many of the largest manu-
featuring plants idle for weeks if not
months, there has been great deal OF
suffering
Here in Wisconsin potatoes were
low, but everything else brought a
good price. Most of the manufacturing
plants have continued in operation, al
though in some instances on shorter
hours.
However, find merchants, manu-
facturers and bankers generally are
optimistic over the prospects for an
early revival of business. 1t appears
to be the general impression every
where that the worst is over and that
with the opening of spring there will
be a big boom in business of every
line"

'In the British expeditionary force
there is an English soldier, a member
of a cyclist corps, who is proud to
wear upon his breast the 'medaille
militaire' of the French army.
THE story of the stirring incident
has been told to me by Henri Roger, a
young soldier of the Fifth infantry,
who saw it from the trenches and who
is now lying wounded in hospital here.
During one of the engagements
last week on the River Aisne, the Fifth
was holding an intrenched position
and was faced in the distance by
strong force of the enemy To the
right and left of the opposing forces
were large clumps of trees, in one OF
which force of English troops had
taken up position, a fact regarding
which the Germans were unaware. In
the other wood, it was soon discovered,
lay a considerable body of German
infantry with several machine gun Sec
tions.
cyclist Wins Decoration.
ga road ran beside the wood In
which the enemy lay hidden, and
along it force of French infantry was
seen to be advancing. How were they
to be saved from the ambush into
which they were marching? That was
the problem, and it was difficult one.
Every time the French troops IN
the trenches endeavored to signal 10
their oncoming comrades, hidden Ger
man sharpshooters picked off the sig
nalers. Soon the position seemed TO
be almost Desperate; every moment
the intrenched French soldiers ex-
pected to hear the hideous swish OF
the Maxims moving down their I'M
suspecting comrades.
Suddenly, however, something nap
pened which attracted the attention
of the French and German trenches.
From the wood where the English lay
hidden cyclist dashed-the English
too. had seen the danger, and cycllst
had been ordered to carry message
of warning to the advancing french
column, several hundreds strong
'The cyclist bent low in his saddle
and darted forward; he had not gone
a hundred yards before he fell, killed
by a well-aimed German bullet. A
minute later another cyclist appeared,
only. in a second or two, to share his
comrades fate.
"Then a third-the thing had to be
done! The bullets whizzed round him,
but on he went over the f1re-swept
zone. The Frenchmen held their
breath as they watched the gallant
cyclist speeding toward the French
column.
"The Frenchmen could not resist a
loud 'Hurrah!' when they saw the
daring cyclist dismount on reaching
the officer in command of the troops
which he had dared death to save
"The officer heard the message and
took in the position at glance lie
gave an order or two instantly, and
turned to the Englishman.
"Then was there a fine but simple
battle picture which should live.
"The French officer saluted the gal
liant fellow standing by the cycle.
Then, with a simple movement, took
the 'medaille militaire'-the Victoria
Cross of France-from his own tunic
and pinned it on the coat Of the Eng
lishman.
"T am glad young Roger told me
when he had finished relating the
story, to have lived to see that deed.
1t was glorious!'"

Dangerous for Pedestrians.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: AL
though the Police Department has es-
tablished traffic posts in various sec
tons of the city. thus minimizing the
danger IA pedestrians at these places.
up to the present no steps nave
been taken to protect pedestrians at one
of the most dangerous street crossings
in New York. l refer to the wide area
formed by the junction of Lafayette,
Centre. Duane and Reade streets.
Many times when passing this
crossing have wondered why the
Police Department did not take means
to safeguard the pedestrians whose
path led across this exposed area.
obviously II is IN oversight on some
officials part that traffic lines have
not been established or that ever n
mounted traffic policeman has not been
stationed there to prevent accidents.
Care has been taken TO See that the
safety of pedestrians has been protected
in other parts of the city where danger
Is not so apparent. Why has this cross
ing been overlooked?
For years this junction has been a
place of danger for everybody who has
had to cross il. Before the erection OF
the Municipal Building probably the
need OF n traffic post at the junction
was not ms necessary as 1t Is ut the
present time. for In those days fewer
persons had cause to cross from the
west to the east side and vice versa.
But the erection OF that building caused
"A big increase in the number OF persons
who have business in that section. and
the need OF n traffic post is correspond
ingly greater.
All day long a continuous stream OF
autos OF the business md pleasure types
use Lafayette street as n thoroughfare
to the downtown business district, while
the big auto mail trucks use the same
ftreet In travelling from the post ONCE
to uptown points. And they use that
street on he journey back, Centre
street Is the route Of a surface car line
and also IL used by autos and trucks.
In view OF these conditions the need OF
a traffic post is apparent. SAFETY.

FooD PRICES IN GERMANY.
As Quoted in Recently Received
Newspapers. Not Very High.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sfr'
There has been much talk about hish
cost of living in Germany, especially
as regards the prices Of meats and otner
foodstufYs. but in looking over some re-
cent German papers I find that the
prices are not at all high according to
u standards. Although higher thar
they used to be.
In a Munich paper I find advertise
ments of butter, the finest made any
where, retailing at 40 cents a pound.
II Is usually 80 cents. An advertise
ment of the firm OF Herman Tietz. a
Berlin concern which operates a large
chain Of department stores all over Ger
many and Belgium. gives the followins
prices. The highest priced meat IL pork
ribs Mt 80 cents. Roast beef with the
bone costs 20 cents. while the cheaper
cuts run from 20 cents a pound up.
Goldfish and paddock are selling AZ
from s to 10 cents n pound. fresh sal
mon So cents. while other varieties may
be had at varying figures in between.
Sausases run from 25 cents to go cents
for the finest grades, while vegetables
are much lower still. Caulifiower may
be had at 4. s and 8 cents n head. cab-
bago at ~ cents a pound. oyster plant
Mt about s cents. apples and pears from
ga to I cents a pound. dollhouse grapes
are only Is cents a pound. And II must
be remembered that the German pound
Is one-tenth heavier than ours.
The firms from whose advertisements
these prices are taken are absolutely
responsible houses, and what they offer
for sale Is good. as I know from per-
sonal experience. They are quite on n
par with the large department stores in
this country Il. s. PRIETH.
