AMERICANS IN TRENCHES
MUST FIGHT UNTIL

London, Oct 6.-By mail Adult
Americans whose adventurous spirits
tempted them to enlist in European
belligerent armies must remain ASEs
dters until they are killed or the war
is ended. IT, -! :, -.
This, is; Situation confronting
scores of Uncle Sans citizens who:
have had their fill. of ;war q :ss5Isle'a
to get out. Uncle Sam can't help
them, though many have requested
his mediation. The British war Of.
flee will not release the Americans it.
has enlisted. -
Cannot Release Adults.
The American embassy in London
which has been successful in having
between fifty and sixty American
minors released from British mill
tary service, could not extend this
service to the adults.
In answer to many appeals from
men who Joined the Canadians and
who have survived hard fighting,
the embassy passed the question to
the state department at Washington.
The departments answer quoted the
following order of 1901, which is still
in force:
Peace May Muster Out.
"The department of state, in an
instruction to the United States con-
sui at Lourenco Marques, during the
Boer war, held that an American
citizen who wilfully takes up arms
in the service of foreign state must
bear the consequences of his act, and
cannot expect, while he serves under
a foreign banner, to be protected by
this government" -
Previous to receipt of this instruc-
ton, inquiry by the embassy at the
British war office, elected the state
ment that the British government
was unwilling to release American
adults who have taken the kings
oath.
So American fighters must keep on
fighting until death or peace mus
tiers them out.

Safety First" Lumberiacks.

In preparation for the winter
season in the northern woods, the
Wisconsin industrial commission
has arranged to carry its industrial
safety campaign into the logging
industry. Woodsmen will be wis
ed up" to the simple science of
preventing accidents and will be
shown the advantages of coming
out of the woods next spring with
two legs, two arms and two eyes
instead of waking up in a quiet
hospital ward.
In appealing to the loggers to
prevent accidents, the industrial
commission has gone right to the
point by telling workmen just how
the most men are injured in the
woods. Here are some sample
phrases from a big poster that soon
will adorn the cook shack and the
bunk house:
"271 men were injured last year
while handling axes; many men
who have carried the ak with the
head under the arm have stumbled
and fallen and have been seriously
injured.
When a tree falls it is likely to
kick back from the stump; get back
far enough so you cannot be struck.
When a tree starts to fall, get
out of danger as quickly as pos
sible; look up and watch for falling
limbs, 211 men were injured last
year by falling limbs.
The poster bears paragraphs OIL
several other topics, including the
following Kicking horses, hitch
ing on to log, look out tor stumps
hookers stand away, twisted chains
dangerous, overlooking cars, etc
/ The poster was compiled and de
signed by a special committee Of
| loggers working in conjunction
with the commission.

HELD FOR TRIAL.
Oscar Renni Must Stand Trial in Cir.
cult Court on Charge of Man
slaughter.

Oscar Renni, who was arrested
and held for causing the death OF
his fourmonths-old daughter at
the family home at Montreal two
weeks ago, must stand trial in cir
cult court on a charge of man
slaughter in fourth degree. At the
conclusion of his hearing in NUM-
cipal court last Saturday Judge
Flanagan bound him over to the
next term of circuit court, which
will be held in January. Renni' S
bail was fixed at 81 900, which he
was unable to furnish and was re-
manded to jail.
There were no witnesses to the
affair, Renni being alone in the
home at the time. The testimony
of Renni's brother and sister-in
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Salo, and Drs.
Uren and Ringo, who performed
the autopsy, was the most import
ant. Mr.. and Mrs. Salo occupied
the adjoining apartment in the
same building, and Immediately
after the accident Renni went in
and related to them just what he
had done. DR.. Ringo was called
and to him Renni also related the
particulars of the affair, even going
through the motions or how he
threw the child on the bed. The
testimony of Drs. Uren and Ringo
showed that in performing the au-
topsy they found that the child S
skull was extraordinary thin, and
that it would not take much of a
blow to cause death. They found
a fracture three inches long on top
of the child's head, showing that
it evidently came in contact with
something harder than the bed.
While there was no evidence of in
tent the circumstance of the case
are such that Renni must answer
to a charge of fourth degree man

amount of personal property,
which is assessed at $4,000,
against a true valuation of SO, $50.
The assessment of personal pro-
perty in the Town of Mercer is not
satisfactory, as all is under valued
and boats are entirely omitted. l
entered for boats 81 10000, which
in my opinion is about the true
value of this item of personal pro-
perty.
Some assessors are still inclined
to omit some personal property
from the roll, reasoning, that it
was not assessed in former years,
disregarding thereby the law and
their instructions. If these men
would spend more time reading
over the law they would find, that
it gives no exemption for any kind
of property, except it is expressly
50 stated by statue.
The Towns of Quincy, Kimball
Knight and Oma, show real es-
tate assessment at full value. All
other towns assessed this kind of
property at over 90 per cent of its
| true value except Cary and Vaughn
which dropped down to 70 per cent.
That a towns assessment IS a.
! bout right in the aggregate, does

sessment of such town is good or
satisfactory.
l frequently find that assessors
assess cut-over lands far too high,
and the timber and improved farm
ing lands too low, and while the
assessment in the aggregate figures
out to be about right, great dis
elimination may be shown if we
compare the individual assessments
