certain percentage of the replies were
from mechanics who were out Of

their respective lines, and from the

is there any manufacturer who would

be made regardless from where the

better to use the advertisement me-

BRITISH SHIP WITH
280 SOLDIERS LOST
Armed Merchant Vessel Goes Down
in Storm-Find Wreckaae
From Boat.

London, Feb. 26.-The German sub
marine blockade about the British isles
has been drawn closer. The govern
ment is preparing to take the most
drastic measures against the Teutons,
and in furtherance of this scheme
Lord Charles Beresford will propose
to Premier Asquith in parliament that
all Germans caught sinking unde-
Tended vessels without an attempt at
rescue be publicly hanged as pirates,
If they are captured.
News comes from Amsterdam that
the Dutch government has seized the
merchant ship Hanna following dis
covery of 5000 pounds of copper hid
den in her hold. The copper probably
was to be smuggled into Germany.
The Dutch also are considering calling
to arms the men of the 1915 class to
combat any possible attempt to VIC,
late Hollands neutrality.
Several more vessels have fallen
victim to the German raiders-one OF
them an armed merchantmen, the Clan
MacNaughton, with which 2S0 men
went down.
The British admiralty announced on
Wednesday that the Clan MacNaugh,
ton, an armed cruiser, has been miss
ing since February 8, and it is feared
has been lost. The vessel was under
the command of Robert Jeffrys.
The Clan MacNaughton carried &c
officers and a crew of 261 men
Wreckage believed to be part of the
missing vessel has been found.
The admiralty states that the Clan
MacNaughton is believed to have beer
lost as the result of a storm that
ragged on February 8, but it is pos
sible that she was struck by a German
submarine.
The steamship Rio Parana, lader
with coal was sunk seven miles east
Of the pier at Eastbourne, England
There is little doubt that the loss was
due to a German submarine. The Rio

Eueenic Law Lessons Marriages,

The Wisconsin eugenic marriage law,
the first of it's kind in the world, has
now been in effect little over a year
and the results can be estimated. The
state board of health has just reported
that one effect is a lessening of the
number of marriages contracted. 1t
appears that about four thousand
couples less took the big jump in 1914
than in 1918
In 1914 1925 regular ceremonials
were reported and 81 common law
marriages we're recorded. In the
previous year there had been 21.052
marriages.
The board of health does not believe
the eugenic law is entirely responsible
for the decline. 1t says:
"On account of the great prevalence
of certain diseases in the state, it is
only reasonable to expect that there
would be some decline in the number
of marriages reported if the eugenic
law is properly enforced, on account
OF the inability on the part of the
prospective bridegroom who is afflicted
with either of these diseases to obtain
a medical certificate. Undoubtedly
some OF the parties who were unable
to pass the required examination or
who suspected that they would not
pass went out of the state to be mar
ried, and in other cases common law
marriage was resorted to.
1T would, of course, be unjust to
charge that all the bridegrooms who
went out Of the state to be married or
who evaded the law by contracting
common law marriages were so af-
dicted. In some instances the parties
felt that the eugenic law was serious
infringement of their personal liberties
and were married outside the state tc
avoid it's provisions. In others common
law marriage was resorted to by
perfectly healthy people purely be-
cause of the novelty Of the ceremony
and the knowledge that a marriage of
this kind was fully binding to both
parties.
Statistics compiled by many other
states and several foreign countries
show that, extending over period of
time. there is a marked decline in our
marriage rates. This factor must be
considered in making proper deduc-
tons from the figures presented. The
industrial depression which has been
upon US for more than year is also
responsible in a large measure. Stats
tics show that a financial depression
seriously retards marriage in the same
way that it produces a decline in the
birth rate.
Thoughtful persons who know of
the ravages of certain diseases will
agree that the actual number of mar
riages occurring In the state in given
period Of time is not nearly as i'm
portant to our prosperity as the gen
eral healthfulness of the contracting
parties"

ALLIED FLEET IS
FORGING STRAITS
Many DardaneIIes Fortresses
Fall Before Huge Guns.
sHELLED BY FORTY SHIPS
Russian Troops Prepare 10 Attack
constantInopIe-Lon Range Guns
on 5attIeships Batter Land
Defenses.

London, Feb. 27-The forts at the
entrance Of the Dardanelles have been
reduced after an aIl-day bombardment
by the Franco-British feet, according
to an announcement made on Thurs
day by the admiralty.
The announcement states:
THE weather moderating, the bonn
bardment of the outer forts of the Oar
danelles was renewed on Thursday
morning. After a period of long range
firing, close range firing was adopted.
"All the forts at the entrance to the
straits were successfully reduced.
=. The operations are continuing"
This means that the bombardment
and possible capture of Constantine
pie by the allied feet, which has been
reported to include 40 warships,
is imminent, and that the feet is at
present smashing its way through the
straits.
The Dardanelles forts, for years con-
sidered among the strongest military
barriers in the world, have been sub
| jected to almost incessant battering
by the shells of the battleships' guns
since last Friday, when the supreme
effort to force the straits was com
menced. Before that there had been
| several attacks on the Notifications.
The bombardment was continued all
day Saturday and Sunday, and more
than two thousand shells we're dropped
on the forts in that time. Bad wealth
er for the time compelled the cessation
of the efforts of the feet to reduce
| the forts, but the bombardment was
| resumed Monday afternoon, again to
| be ended by bad weather until Thurs
day.
Constantinople reported that the
! bombardment had been almost without
| effect, but the official announcement
| of the British admiralty said that the
| forts were unable to reply because
the ships were out of range, and that
five of them were reduced by Satur
| day night
The attack on Constantinople will
| be simultaneous, it is believed here
with an effort on the part of the Rus
/ sian army to take the Turkish capital
from the land side. 1t was announced
last week that Russian transports ha6
| been sent with large army to the
| Turkish port of Midia, so miles north
west of Constantinople, for an over
land march against the gates of the
capital.

WIN Cost State Big Sum.

That another extraordinary expendi-
ture, probably more than 100000, per-
haps 100000, possibly s250,000 or
more, is near, was revealed when NJ. j.
Cleary, executive counsel and repre-
senting Governor Philip, appeared
before the assembly at an informal
hearing on the Helm bill, No la,
providing for the extinguishment of
the states bonded debt by retiring the
certificates of Indebtedness.
This extraordinary expense viii arise
cut of the forestry situation as the
supreme court has left it. How much
is involved in the situation cannot be
known until Judge Hastings, who was
appointed special referee by the court,
has made the prescribed survey and
determined how much the state owes
the trust funds, TO be restored as per
the direction of the court.
The Helm bill provides that when
ever there is a surplus in the general
Golfers Of the state it, or a portion Of
it, may be applied to the retirement Of
the certificates of Indebtedness to the
trust funds, the total amount due on
that account being s2,251, 900. This
Indebtedness, by the way, is existing
since the Civil war in clear disregard
of the constitutional provision that the
state shall never contract debt beyond
100000.
IN his message Governor Philip, fol-
lowing the recommendation of State
Treasurer Johnson, recommended that
provision be made for paying the debt
and retiring the trust certificates
which for half a century have called
for an annual interest payment by the
state of $157,570. The Helm bill is
intended to meet the gubernatorial
idea but it specifies no amount which
shall be annually applied. A bill by
Mr.. Harrington provides for the pay
ment of 100000 annually, the amount
to be made part of the budget and
the governor has suggested that per
haps this Harrington plan is the better
as it really gets somewhere by making
the amount to be appropriated definite
and certain instead of leaving 1t to
the judgment or fancy of the con-
stitutional officers, whoever they may
chance to be.
And so, in view of the possibilities
arising out of the forestry situation
and the fact that the Harrington bill
has not yet been printed, Governor
Philip suggested that the committee
defer action on the Helm bill until the
whole question can be considered in
all its bearings.

GRAIN PRICE NOT
FIXED SAYS CANDY
Chicago Man Appears at Price In
qulry in New York-sIames the
War for Cost.

New York, Feb. 25.-At the re-
sumption of the attorney generals IN
vestigatfon of the increased cost of
wheat bread and -four, c. H. Candy,
president of the Chicago board OF
trade, the first of several witnesses
of national reputation on the subject
under inquiry, gave his views on price
advances.
Mr.. Candy denied speculation was
responsible for the high price of
wheat. He asserted that the law of
supply and demand has caused a
steady rise in the price of grain and
that the present quotations are in
duced by the European demand.
Mr.. Candy said that the United
States still has 775 100000 bushels to
export.
There is no shortage and no dan
ger of one" he continued.
1.-THE rate of expectation has slowed
down and indications are for cOntin-
ued diminution until the new crop is
harvested. The high cost of ocean
freights-practically double what they
were at the outset of the warts one
cause for this lessening of the outward
tide. That has discouraged exports
and has resulted in a gradual lower
ing of prices. There will be less buy.
ing for future delivery from now on. .
Mr.. Candy announced himself as op-
posed to an embargo On the ezporta,
ton of wheat.
That would be tampering with the
laws of supply and demand, he said
1.-THE farmer is really selling wheat
sense, at the present time. Just think
what Germany would pay for 100000
900 bushels if she could get it.
