TROOPS NOT YET
MUSTERED IN
SlOwness of Process Delays Depart
= of Badger Troops to San An
tonic
(By United Press AssOciation.)

Camp Douglas, Wis, June 28.-That
the Wisconsin National Guard will
not delay to leave for San Antonio be
fore the end of the week was the be
lief expressed by officers here today.
The delay will be caused by the
difficulties in mastering the men into
the Federal services. The muster
roles have not been completed although
men of the various companies have
been working almost all night on
them.
Many will be eliminated by the
strenuous medical examination. Nine
men of the First Regiment band
failed to pass the tests which nearly
caused the breaking up of that or
ganization.
All target practice practically stop
ped today by order of General Holway
in order that the mastering of the
men into the United States service
might be speeded up.
The men will be mustered in by
battalions. Only one battalion of
the First will be mustered in by night
according to Captain L. Richardson.

BIG CROWDS
ENJOY CIRCUS
Howe's London Shows Interest Young
and Old in Duluth.
From Duluth Press:

From Duluth Press:
Despite the fact that Duluth has
been thrilled by a series of exciting
events such as the "dry" election and
the Elks' convention, the visit yester-
day of Howe's Great London Shows
brought the familiar thrill of circus
day.
From the time the ''big top" was set
up in the West end early in the morn
ing until the last wagon had left the
grounds this morning, the small boys
were on the "job," and both grown
ups and youngsters enjoyed the two
performances, afternoon and evening,
to the utmost, while many others took
in the parade. Theweather was ideal
for a circus, and thousands of people
lined the street to see the parade.
There were good crowds at the mat
inee and evening shows, and the side
attractions drew well.
First Day of Summer.
1t was the first official day of sum-
mer, the longest day Of the year
and Howe's made the best of it.
Nearly fifty wagons were in the
parade. On top of many of them
were clowns representing various
characters. There were four band
wagons, in addition to two calliopes.
Members of the jungle family were,
of course, much in evidence. The ele-
plants marched in proud single file,
holding each other by the tail.
A procession opened both the after
noon and evening performances. Pret-
ty young women astride prancing
white horses acted as heralds, and
were followed by a lucky
gathering of clowns that succeeded
fairly we'll in drawing applause and
laughter. Men and women bareback
riders, troupes of Japs and Arabs,
daredevil acrobats, elephants and
other animals and numerous other
features kept the grownups amused
and the ''kids" in open-mouthed, gap
ing enthusiasm.
The six ''high-school" horses gave
evidence of the hand of real trainer
and they delighted the audience with
their unusually good work in the
dancing act, when they performed
many we'll known steps. The bare
back riders were accomplished artists
and acquitted themselves with credit.
Holds Up Ten Men.
A huge Arab succeeded in holding
up ten men, a difficult feat. There
were plenty of acts to keep the audi
ence amused throughout, and some
interesting side shows satisfied those
who wished to see more.
While Duluth 'kiddies" were dream
ing of big white tents, elephants,
funny clowns and death-defying acts
last night, the big company was busy
moving on to the next stand. 1t viii

If heaven doesn't suit you and you'd
rather stay without,
Go towel, just go to Europe, where
no Wilson kept them out.
If Europe's dead arose and spoke
their honest dead mems views,
If children MANNED and women
shamed should add their CHASTITY
news,
If now they stood in flesh and blood
with power to pick and choose,
How many of them, do you think,
would side with Mister Hughes?
Oh, can hear their ghostly cheer,
can hear their piteous shout
Arise for Woodrow Wilson, for the
man who kept us out.
Kept us out! Kept US out!
So sing it with salVo and I say it
with shout,
Glory be to Woodrow Wilson, to the

WILSON KE
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE
Oh, Germany is drenched in blood
and England's splotched with red,
And Austria's arithmetic can hardly
count her dead,
And France is cUrbed and crippled
and Belgium is worse,
And Russia is a graveyard, while
Hungary is hearse.
And all the Balkan bedlam is in riot
or in roUt,
land Mister Hughes is peevish be-
cause Wilson kept us out!
Kept us out! Kept us out!
Yes, Mister Hughes is fretful and is
much inclined to pout,
But here's to Woodrow Wilson, to
the man who kept us out.
The reign of Cain is in the world
and glories in it's might,
For men are passions playthings
when they seize the sword and
smite.
Yes, teeth and claws are everywhere
and every beast can bite,
But, behold! a man arises who
achieves the higher right.
Oh, any child can criticize and any
fool may fOut,
But the world rots in its trenches, |
and Wilson kept US out.
Kept us out! Kept us out!
Let us sing it with salVo, let US say
it with a shout;
Any man can raise a rumpus, but |
Woodrow kept US out.
Freedom fees from warning nations.
Europe has become a cell,
Where they chain the very. children,
waiting for their coming knel,
Where they've bartered WOman's
laughter for the shrek of shot
