LAW CHANGES ARE FAVORED
Supreme Court Sends Bills to LegisIa-

ton in Court Practice.

Madison. - Important recommends
tions for changes in court procedure
were reported to the legislature by the
justices of the Wisconsin suprems
court.
This was the result of an investiga.
ton started two years ago when the
legislature requested the justices to
suggest such changes in the code
practice of the state as will simplify
it, relieve it Of technicalities and pro-
mote the ends of justice"
Following are some suggested
changes made in bills attached to the
report:
That when person in good faith
mistakes his remedy, takes a defective
appeal or brings his action in the
wrong tribunal he shall not be turned
out of court, but be allowed to amend
or have his action transferred to the
proper tribunal and there proceed
with it.
That all causes of action between
the same parties may be united in one
complaint, provided they do not re-
quire different places of trial

Battle Crisis in West Veers to
Metz.
TEUT0NS ARE REINFORCING
kaiser's Troops Rushing to Scene and
Regain Some Positions Where
French Threatened-Paris
Denies Heavy Losses.

London, Jan 23-In the mud OF
Flanders, the foods of the Aisne val
ley and the SHOWS Of the Argonne and
the Vosges the soldiers of Germany
and the allied nations are keeping Up
a constant battle.
The visit Of the prince of Wales to
Belfort has led to reports that British
troops will soon be sent to Belfort to
participate in any possible advance on
the Rhine.
While the allies have gained ground
on almost every part of the front in
the last two months they have been
forced to give way in one region, that
of scissors. They are being put now
to test similar to that which obliged
them to retire from north of the Aisne
near Scissors.
The Germans, realizing the danger
to their communications with Metz as
a result of the French advance near
Pont-a-Mousson, have sent reinforce
ments there and have begun battle
for the positions they lost last week.
Apparently the Germans have regained
a portion Of them and are fighting for
the remainder.
The following official communica.
ton was issued by the French war Of
fee at Paris:
Recent German communications re-
garding French losses in the last few
weeks are erroneous. Our losses are
less by more than half than those
given by the German general staff.
Moreover, it has been found by esti-
mating the dead left on the field that
the German losses have been greater
than those of the French"

ASKS FEDERAL CONTROL
FOR BIG FOUNDATIONS
Untermyer Says Organizations Should
Have Licenses-Do Much Good
and No Harm.

New York, Jan. 20.-FederaI incor-
poration for the Rockefeller founda-
ton and for other foundations en-
dowed to help humanity was advocated
here on Monday by Samuel Untermyer,
famous corporation lawyer, before the
federal commission on industrial re-
latiOns. This commission, the chair
man of which is Frank P. Walsh Of
Missouri, has begun an investigation
of the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Russell
Sage and Baron de Hirsch foundations
to determine whether or not they
should be regulated by the United
States government, and Mr.. Untermy-
er was the first witness.
The power and importance of these
fact that they control about S300,000,-
900. Other recommendation by Mr..
Untermyer were:
1. That the charters given to the
foundations by the United States gov
eminent should be limited.
2. That the size of the foundations
should be limited.
8. That the foundations should not
be allowed to accumulate their in
come.
Mr.. Untermyer said that the
foundations were doing much good
and no harm, but that they gave a
fair example of the evils Of the vice
of state legislation" He declared that
the foundations were not satisfactory
wholly because they were operating
under state charters. The govern
ment, he believed, should have sound
control over them and should have. a
hand in the selection of trustees 10
administer them.

ZEPPEL!NS MAKE RAID
ON ENGLISH TOWNS
Six German Airships Drop Bombs on
Yarmouth and Other Towns
People Are in a Panic.

London, Jan. 21-German aircraft
made a long threatened raid on Eng
land on Tuesday night and attempted
to blow up with bombs the kings
royal residence in Sandringham,
County Norfolk
King George and Queen Mary, who
had been staying at Sandringham
with their family, returned to London
to resume their residence in Bucking-
ham palace.
Central News dispatch from Kings
Lynn says it is reported bombs were
dropped in the kings estate at Sand
bingham.
Reports reaching London are to the
effect that a squadron of six Yep
pelins crossed the North sea and on
reaching the English coast line sep
arated, some of them taking a south
erly direction and others an opposite
course.
A Zeppelin is reported to have been
brought down by the fire of warship
at Hunstanton, few miles north of
Sandringham
The night was calm, but extremely
dark and cloudy, which made it impos-
sible for the people in the towns over
which the flyers passed to distinguish
even the outlines of the raiders.
The whir of their propellers and
the droning of their motors, however.
could be heard distinctly.
Bombs we're dropped on Yarmouth,
Kings Lynn, Sandringham, Cromer,
Sheringham and Beeston, and every
where except at Beeston casualties
and damage to property resulted.
