trench machines puted incessant!y at
their work OF digging bitches for the
permanent drainage. Carpenters ham
mered with might and main putting
the finishing touches on camp kitchens.
The little mud al the southern end of
the site was regarded lightly by the
hardy youngsters who train for the
service of Uncle Sam.
The dispatch in detrain:ng,'' said
Colonel Stern was gratifying There
was some congestion OF trains on the

when heavily equipped batteries of ar
til!ery preceded infantry to the land

Fred Fulton, whom many local
sport fans saw in the start Of his
pugilistic career at Hudson. has pro
gressed to that stage where, as with
all other stars in that line, it appears
he must "break" with his manager.
Frank Force launched the lanky
Fred into the ring at Hudson, with
rather sorry results. Mike Collins
picked the rangy pug up after this
hard fall, and has brought him into
glaring calcium of newspaper
mention. But this doesn't seem to
have netted the necessary mazuma
to suit the Rochester Giant, and he
is now attempting to quit Mike and
go back to Frank, whom, it is claim
ed still has a valid contract as man
ager. Collins has claimed the worlds
heavy weight championship for Full
ton because Tom Jones, Jesse Will
lard's manager, recently turned
down $45, 900 offer for a match be-
tween these two.

New Road Map
OF Wisconsin

One hundred thousand automobile
owners of Wisconsin and countless
motor parties touring the state, who
have been blindly cropping from one
roadside signboard to another and
Fostering chance wayfarers with
questions as to the best route from
somewhere else, may now rise up from
the steering wheel, wipe their goggles
and call the Wisconsin Highway Com
mission blessed. The long desired
road map of the state is published and
ready for distribution.
The Commission has for several
months been collecting from county
highway commissioners, garage men,
it's own employees, and other sources,
the best obtainable information as to
the principal routes of travel, and it
is believed that the new map en-
bodies the best information available
and will be of vast assistance to the
travelling public.
The map is a sheet 81 by % inches,
folded into neat flexible cover which
fits the pocket. Wide red lines on the
map show the principal highways
forming through routes of inter-coun-
ty and state travel. Solid narrow red
lines indicate the secondary lines of
travel. Dotted narrow red lines in
dictate secondary lines of travel of
doubtful FEASIBILITY at certain sea-
sons. The routes outlined are be-
ieved to be the best practicable, and
most commonly used.
Cities, villages, county lines, lakes,
rivers, and railroads are shown, but
no other highways than the three
classes mentioned.
Expense of compilation and print
ing necessitates a nominal charge of
five cents for each map, copies of
which may be had by application to
the Wisconsin Highway Commission,
Madison.

There was large delegation of
River Falls fans at the Saltwater
Hudson baseball game at the prison
city Sunday. The Boosters won out
3 to 0. The batting of Mittemaier,
who made two doubles and a single,
scoring one run himself and batting
in the other two, featured Hudson's
offense, while Bertch's pitching was
the feature of their defense. Dur
ing the game Saltwater fans made
it uncomfortable for the umpire,
throwing in pop bottles, sticks and
stones, and at one time engaging in
a free-for-all meele which was sub
dued only after players and business
men of the city had rushed in to the
umpire's rescue.

out from Ellsworth Saturday and ar
ranged the settlement of the case
recently brought up against one of
the local soft drink establishments
through the finding of alcohol in one
of the beverages on sale there 1t
was decided that, although a chemist
found large quantity of alcohol in
the beverage, there was a chance
for doubt as to the alcohol being
there at the time of the sale, consid-
cradle time having elapsed after Sc
curing the sample, giving it ample
opportunity to ferment. The case
was dismissed after the proprietor

WORKING FOR SAFETY.

Safety is something which appeals to each and everyone, or if 1t does not it should. Ever since there has been increased efforts along that line at tention has been called to it to a greater degree than ever before. Not only have good results been obtained but there has been revealed the many opportunities for increasing them. Safety and prevention go hand in hand and the better the results the greater the satisfaction that should prevail throughout the entire country. It is a matter of vital importance to each and every one for those who fail to recognize 1t and the part they can play in the work today are likely to be brought face to face with it tomor- row. It is through just such experi- ences that the safety movement is constantly getting increased support.
 Thus there is bound to be wide spread interest in the third national exposition of safety and sanitation which opens next month in New York city which brings under one roof the thousand and one things that make for greater safety in industry, the street, the home and the daily life of every one. It can be readily ap- preciated as President Williams of the American Museum of Safety says that such endeavors as that exposi-
 tion sets on foot result in improve ments being made and put into prac- tice, inventions being increased, new methods being devised, greater care
 being taken and new standard being set
 When it is realized that a half mil lion people, conservatively estimated are injured in American industries every year it can be appreciated that there is a wide field for operations and certainly a most urgent need for
 greatly reducing the number, to say | nothing Of the opportunity that ex- | ists among those outside of the in- ! dustrial plants.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-03-15
CANNOT ABANDON RIGHTS,

In connection with the question of arming merchant vessels for the pur- pose of defense, much has been said to the effect that Americans ought not to involve this country in trouble through their acts in disregarding their own safety, meaning that wher it Is understood that there is danger from taking passage on armed liners they should take more than a per- sonal view of the situation, or place a check upon whatever spirit of advan- tage there might be manifested on such voyage. Others feel that Amer jeans should stay away from Europe at this time.
 It is not to be imagined, however,
 that all the Americans who go to Eu- rope, or who have gone since the war opened have done so for pleasure. The fact is as the Springfield Republican
 points out, that The Atlantic ocean
 is a vast highway which is under the
 sovereignty of no nation, and every
 year in peace times hundreds of thou
 sands of people travel across it for reasons which are good and sufficient. In war times even as the record of 1915 discloses, it is impossible to seal
 up the ocean as a highway of travel IO I4AC SAN1iAhCo OI lu6 world. Both business and necessity compel many to use it in these peril ous days as well as in days of pro- found peace"
 It is not always possible to secure
 passage on American ships or even ships of neutral nations but the ex-
 perience has been that American lives have been lost or endangered whether mt 1@ | neutrals or belligerents. Those who are trying to get from European | countries back home are not joy rid 1 ing any mare than are those who hap pen to be employed under neutral flags and yet it is these very ones who are | in peril because of the intentional disregard for the rights of humanity
 on the high seas. The abandonment 1 of rights under such a situation would l simply be an invitation for increased violations of international law.
