EIames Bad Roads.

More than s15,000,ooe dollars year
for carriage alone would be saved II
the roads were such as the times de-
mand," said John A. HazelWood O. the
Wisconsin highway commission.
Freight charges for transporting
the produce of this country from farm
to market are less than one-seventh
the carriage cost" he said. Freight
charges have been reduced from seven
cents per ton per mile in the last fifty
years to less than one cent per ton
per mile The carriage charge for car
rying produce from farm to market Is
over S500,000,000 The cost III Euro
pean countries is from eight to ten
cents per ton per mile from farm to
market, while in the United States,
according to official statistics, the
average cost for hauling produce is
twenty-three cents per mile. European
countries have a system Of splendid
hard-surfaced roads; in this country
we are just waking up to the impor-
lance of building good roads"

CADETS TO PUT ON
BIG SHAM BATTLE
Will Be Attacked by "Foe" From
Middleton.
ANNUAL INSPECTION MAY 8
Much Special Work Is Being Under
taken by the Military Department
of the State Institution Under
Lieutenant Wrightson.

Madison.-A battle maneuver inyolV-
ing an attack on university buildings
by a hostile force advancing from
Middleton, is the main feature OF the
annual inspection of the military corps
CT the University of Wisconsin which
Will be made on May by Maj. Mon
roe Mcfarland of the general stan Oh
the United States army.
In preparation for this inspection,
much special work is being underta-
ken by the military department, and
Lieut.. P. G. Wrightson, the command
ant of the university corps, has pre-
pared an extensive program OF events
to be exhibited before the inspecting
officer
Retirement under fire is the prob
lem to be worked out in the maneuver
this year, and it's main features are be-
ing planned by the officers OF the
cadet corps. Companies stationed at
Madison and at Middleton. six and
half miles apart, will represent the
hostile troops.
The military situation supposed IN
the maneuver is that the Middleton
forces have been steadily advancing,
but have been compelled to halt at
Eagle Heights, point three and a
half miles from the university, to wait
for re-enforcements. The Madison
forces have been sent out as far as
the marsh two miles from the enemy
to resist attack and to hold their posi-
Al NH
trenches on the hill back Of University
hall are being constructed. They place
their outpOsts and go into temporary
camp The Middleton forces having
received their endorsements, continue
to advance, but are halted by machine
guns. The commanding officer sends
a thanking column around the Madison
forces. and causes them to retire.
The task of retiring from their orig
Inal position under fire and narrowing
from the wide front on the marsh to
narrow one near the university build
ngs is the problem the Madison
troops must work out. The narrowing
Of the attack is the problem for the
Middleton forces to work through.
Much interest is being shown this
year by the student corps in the regu-
lar military tactics which they are
practicing now for the inspection in
May. Since the university cadet corps
won a place on the accredited list of
such organizations as one of the ten
best in the United States, enthusiasm
for the work has greatly increased. AS
l result, both freshman and sopho-
more companies are doing more ad-
vanced work than the same classes
took up last year. Map problems, con-
sisting in the location Of an imaginary
enemy and the solution of the prob
,em of reconnoitering the hostile camp,
are being studied by the sophomore
men this year for the first time.

Faculty Report Adjusted.


Without the appearance of any
controversy whatever, the differ
ences between the state board OF
education and the university authori~
ties, arising out of the proposal by the
former to adopt certain forms for re-
port by members of faculty and heads
Of departments of the university were
CLOSED over at the meeting of the
board of education and an agreement
was arrived at.
Each side of the controversy yielded
points as to the details and what prom
lsed to be a source of considerable an
noyance vanished. This was brought
about by the adoption of a resolution
which provided that instead of being
required to report the number of hours
devoted to the various classes of work,
teaching, preparation, research, extern
sion, etc, the information is to be pro-
yided in the form Of percentages, thus
avoiding the section foreman" appear
ance complained of and at the same
time furnishing the board of education
the desired information.
The board referred the plans of the
Platteville normal agricultural and
gymnasium building back to the nor
nal regents with the request that they
consider charging the proposed gym,
nasium and manual training rooms.

Wisconsin represents absolutely
the greatest development of in
dustrial education that has been
brought before me up to the present
time" remarked Frank Glynn, statis-
tistician of the state board of indus
trial education, at the Civics club
luncheon. In the year ending June
80, 1912, Wisconsin had over $4,000
people in her system of industrial ed
ucation; in the year ending June 80,
1913, there were over $4,000, and in
the year ending June 80, 1916, we ex-
pect to have $4,000 or $4,000.

The address of the day w&s deliv-
cred by Mrs. Paul Woolley, head Of
the vocational bureau of Cincinnati,
who gave a number of interesting
facts in connection with working chill
dren as compared with those who re-
main in school. The basis of Mrs.
Woolleys talk was an eloquent idea
that something be done" for the
brilliant children who have to leave
school and go to work because of
economic pressure and also for the
duller minds who are "pegging away
at academic studies that they can't
do" while they could benefit from
vocational training in the grades.

Nordau illuminated in French
Press.
Press.

The French press has been attack
ing DR.. Max Nordau for his alleged
sympathies with the Teutonic Allies.
It appears that in an article which
Nordau published in an American pa
per he accused the French and Rus
sian Governments for mistreating
prisoners of war. lie Matin, the i'm
portant Paris daily, took up the mat.
ter first and attacked Nordau for
showing his sympathy with the enc
mics of France. The clerical journal,
L'Echo de Paris, took up the matter
in greater detail and relates how Nor
dau's house was always open to Ger
man correspondents, where many mil
itary secrets might have been reveal
ed The paper also discovered that
Nordau's two daughters spent great
deal of time at the beginning of the
war in military hospitals, where they
no doubt learned secrets from the
military officers there, which they
transmitted to German authorities.
Finally, the police stepped in and ar
rested Nordau and sent him to a con-
centration camp, together with other
aliens. Fifteen days later, by some
mysterious order, Nordau was sent
away to Spain, where he utilizes his
freedom to vilify France in the news
papers.
For some time Nordau remained
passive to all these accusations, but
lately he sent letter to an editor of
paper who is a personal friend of his,
in which he denies all the charges
brought against him, and declares
himself as a true Frenchman, whose
sympathies are entirely with France
and the cause for which she is fight
ing. He cites as an example of his
loyalty that when he was exiled from
France, he preferred to go to neu-
trail country, rather than return to his
native Austria, which was at war with
France.

0NE-FIFTH TAX
RECEIPTS OUT
FUNDS COLLECTED ABOUT SAME
AS LAST YEAR.
Money Coming in Now at Rate of
About One Thousand Dollars
Daily; Trustee Feels
Encouraged.

A talk with Trustee King a day or
two ago revealed the fact that he has
issued practically the same number of
tax receipts to date this year as on the
corresponding date of last year.
Taxes are being paid now at the
rate of about $1,000 per day and the
trustee is very much encouraged over
present prospects, not over the amount
already collected, for this is not as
great as it should be, but over the way
collections are coming in at this time.
The financial condition of the coun-
ty is much better this year than last
and when this is considered, one
would naturally expect collections to
be far in advance of last year.
Some people always complain about
having to pay their taxes, but when
we stop to think and consider what it
really means to us, both as a commun-
ity and as individuals, we must real
ize that we get more in return for tax
money than for the same amount Of
money expended in any other way.
