WILSON PUTS SOFT
PEDAL ON JING0ISM
Warns Americans About Accept
ing Incendiary Tales.

Washington, Mar. 27.-President
Wilson has issued warning that "sin-
lister and unscrupulous Influences" are
spreading alarmist reports about the
Mexican situation with the obpect of
forcing Intervention by the United
States ''in the interest of certain Amer
lean owners of Mexican properties" ="
In formal statement the President
told the people of the United States
to be on their guard and not to credit
such stories. He urges those who dis
seminate news to test the source and
authenticity of every report from the
border, and called attention again to
the governments announcement that
the sole object of the punitive expe-
dition now in Mexico was to punish
Villa and his followers.
The news services supplying news
papers had been aked, the president
said, to assist in keeping this view
constantly before the Mexican and
American people, to the end that the
expedition should not be given the
color of war.
The purpose of the American COM
manders was described as embracing
cooperation Gin every possible way"
with the forces Of General Carranza
and withdrawal from Mexicn territory
as soon as the object Of the expedi-
tion is accomplished.

volumes were written on the subject,
besides representatives from foreign
countries coming into this state to
study the system.
He explained at some length the
workings of the Workmen's Compen-
sation act.
The senator launched at some
length, in his we'll known and most
dramatic strain into a laudation of
Carl Schurz, telling Of reception
rendered that statesman in the execu-
tive mansion at Madison, and how Mr..
Schurz urged him to resign the COVER
norship and serve in the United
States senate. The senator told his
hearers that Mr.. Schurz said: go
to the United States senate; you are
needed there" and that request de-
cided his future course.
He told of the hazing he received at
the hands of senators when he deliver

one which he terms trust controlled.
This exhibition took about twenty
minutes of the senator's time.
He launched into discussion of
the public land sales by the state to
citizens of the state, claiming that
land worth $4,000 an acre was sold
for from $3.50 down to 10 cents an
acre. This, he explained, covered a
period of from 1854 to 1894.
At this point someone in the audi
ence asked the senator question
which brought forth fiat denial that
he stood for prohibition, and he ac-
cused his questioner of being biased

London. Mar. 27.-The second Eng
lish air and naval raid on Germany
since the war began took place on
the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein
with the following results:
Two German armed patrol ships
were sunk by British torpedo-boat de.
stroyers.
Three British seaplanes were
brought down and their occupants
were captured by the Germans.
The British destroyers Medusa and
Laverock collided and the British ad-
miralty fears the Medusa was sunk.
Bombs were dropped by the British
aeroplanes on the coast of Schleswig-
Holstein, but Berlin says they did no
damage. The English admiralty re-
ports the operation achieved it's OBJ
jeet.
The British aeroplanes, five in num-
Der, were transported by two ships,
which were accompanied by a cruiser
squadron and a destroyer f1otilla, the
expedition being under command of
Commodore Tyrwhitt.
Three AeropIanes Brought Down.
Neither the official statement is
sued in Berlin nor the English official
announcement indicate whether the
warships bombarded the coast, but
both agree that three of the British
hydroplanes, including one battle
plane, were brought down on or near
the Island of Sylt, the largest of the
North Frisian group. The occupants,
four English officers and one noncom-
missiored officer, were taken prison

DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot

sometimes an attack of rheumatism.
In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment.

United States Senator Robert
Marion La Toilette, at once the most
attractive political character in the
state of Wisconsin, spoke at the Tur-
ner opera house Saturday evening.
Senator La Toilette is the most at
tractive political character in WiscOn-
sin because of the years of fighting
he has engaged his party in which his
watchword appears to have been La
Toilette leadership, by La Toilette, for
La Toilette And whatever the op-
position to the senator may have to
say against him and his methods, one
note must be omitted-hc must not
be accused of not being a gamey
scrapper or of not presenting his
views in a convincing way, often
backed by governmental statistics.
In his speech in the Turner Satur-
day evening he quoted literally from
statistics and his past experiences
interspersed with comical illusions
enough to relieve his address Of dry
politics and statistics.
The senator found in Watertown a
changed condition. In years agone
when he spoke here seating room in
the hall was at a premium. On Satur-
day evening nearly all seats on the
main floor were taken, possibly one
half OF the seats in the gallery were
occupied, while of the twenty-seven
chairs on the stage twenty were
empty.
The senator referred to the past,
saying that during the six years he
was state executive he had opportu-
mites to fathom conditions oil the past,
and when he became governor a
progressive form Of government was
sated-in fact, he was elected on
account of the progressive tide sweep
ing the state at that time. At that
time the great corporations were de-
prived of their power.
He told of how at that time the
railroads were paying half of the
taxes they should nave paid, but
under MS guidance the laws were
changed to compel the public utilities
corporations to bear a taxation that
was just.
He told how his taxation ideas
worked, saying that from 1901, on
through his administration, through
Governor Davidson's administration,
and until the second year of Governor
McGovern's incumbancy, not one cent
of state taxes was paid for state
governmental purposes. OF course we
had our school and other taxes; but
no expense to the people for conduct
ing purely state governmental affairs.
The senator referred TO this with
considerable pride, and said fnat the
