HELD LAST MEETING.
County Board Of Education Passed Out
OF Existence Friday, August 18th.

The County Board of Education,
composed of B. E. Walters, B. f.
Lang, W. f. Lemke, f. f. Chesak
and e. r. Prehn held its last meeting
in this city on Friday, August 18th.
There was considerable work to finish
up, such as the payment of bills con-
tracted by the Marathon County
Training and Agricultural schools.
1t also changed the lines in districts
5 and s in the town of Emmett.
The legislature repealed the law Gre
ating the County Board Of Education
and the bill authorizing it was signed
by the governor last Friday. The
new law allows the work to 60 right
along just as it has during the past two
years, but it has taken it out of
the hands of the people and placed
the appointment of the members of
the board and school trustees with
the county board. This looks very
much like throwing it into politics.
Chairman Christie of the county
board, will appoint three trustees to
take charge of the work which has
been done by the County Board of
Education, excepting the supervision
of the Marathon County Training
and Agricultural schools, which will
be given in the hands of another board
of which the County Board will ap-
point two members, the other men,
Der being the County Superintendent
of Schools.
The County Board of Education
which has just gone out of existence,
has accomplished much good work
and opened the eyes of the public in
many instances where there are ir-
regulations. B. e. Walters, its presi-
dent, has been very active in his en-
deavorS to advance the interests of
the schools of our county; he has
spent many evenings attending meet
ings in various parts of our county,
with others engaged along educational
lines, assisting in the up-building of
our county schools.

mama Pacific Exposition today. Dele
gates to the convention of the Navy
League in session here have been as :
signed important parts in the cele-
bration. National Defence without
Nilitarism" is the keynote of the

ism; that IL Congrss wishes to be
truly conservative it should prepare

paredness and inefficiency means

country.

many patriotic societies, including
the Society of Colonial Wars. Sons
Of Veterans, Veterans of Foreign
Wars. Spanish War Veterans. Sons
of the Revolution, Sons of America
and Daughters of the Revolution are

(By Associated Press }

London, March 27.-Russia today
for the third time holds the gates to
hungary, and British observers are
rirtually united in expecting that
Germany and Austria will make a
mpreme effort to prevent them
again pouring on Hungarian plains.
Meagre reports from Vienna indi-
cate some depression in Austria on
account of the surrender of Przymsl,
but on the other hand the, Papacy
denies that this has resulted in over
lures from Emperor Francis Joseph
to obtain the Intervention of the
Pope in behalf Of separate peace.
Italy and the Balkan States are
still maintaining a neutral position
| in the war and a notable section of
/ the British press believes that this
attitude will continue until the
Dardanelles fighting produces defin-
ite results. However, in Rome de-
eisive action by Italy is regarded as
imminent.
A brief dispatch from Rome today
states that the Italian government
has taken every possible measure
preparatory to beginning war on the
dde of the allies.
Athens dispatches say the Turkish
forts a. Dardaus and Kilid Bahr, on
THE Dardanelles, have been de-
|sroyed. British and French war
ships are said to have taken trans
ports to the Gulf Of Smyrna, on the
coast OF Asia Minor.
Reports Of Russian progress in the
Carpathian continue, but the lull in
operations in the west continue.
In England labor unrest again
manifests itself. The belief Is
growing that the government will
soon take some measures to restrict
but it is not likely to en-
force such drastic prohibition as has
been made effective in Russia and
France.
