NON-EIGHTERS
ENLISTED IN
ENGLAND
az AssocIArED PRESS.

London, April 1.-THE British gov
ernment has found place in the
army for the conscientious directors,
men called up for service under the
Derby recruiting scheme who had
conscious scruples against fighting,
and who were excused from enlist
ing. There were thousands of such,
and to give them chance to serve
their country, although at the same
time cater to their little vanity
against bearing arms, the war Office
announced the formation, for the pc
riod of the war, of the ''non-combat-
ant corps" The officers and nom
commissioned officers viii be selected
from regular infantry personnel not
fit for general service, but fit for
service abroad on lines Of communi-
cation.

Mule is Better
For War Than
The Cam Ell
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

British Headquarters In Mesopota-
mia, April 2.-The mule has proved
a far more reliable and useful trans
port animal than the camel in the
Mesopotamian campaign. If beasts
were decorated the mule would be
covered with ribbons. He knows not
defeat. His hardness is proverbial;
none of the plaques of Mesopotamia
have affected his sangfroid.
The camel so far has been but an
auxiliary. The breed used here, called
"Judi, !" Is not, like his "Bedawi" broth
er, trained to go without water, but
he is proof against the ubiquitous
camel-fiy, and has certain other vir-
tues Of his own. In spite Of his nobbly
extremities and grotesquely proper
toned limbs, the camel is a dainty
beast.

Friday and Saturday nights show that

however, because one Zeppelin was

German officers did not intend to kill
civilians, though he admitted they
might kill them in throwing bombs
at military establishments. He as
serted the Zeppelins were able to do

who have formerly been maintained

Another commendable thing was

is to hold its first fair this fall
This is an infant industry that
needs and deserves protection, and
has it innearly every county in the
q. S. making any prefense to posses
sing agricultural value. Villas coun-
ty claims. and truly claims, to be a
mine Of untold wealth. in that direc-
ton. That being true, nothing
should be left undone to establish
the fact in the mind Of the farm
buying public. One of tile best ways
is through holding an annual county
fair on grounds and in buildings of
its own. Not on the street or on
some vacant lot. At the next annu-
al meeting of the county board ar
rangements should be made to Sc
cure land Sufficient, not less than
twenty acres, and the erection of
suitable, not elaborate, buildings in
time for next years fair. If prices
on land adjacent to town are too for
midable, drop back mile or SO.
Think it over, gentlemen and at the
annual meeting arrange to place vi
las county on a par with those adj
Joining If not advisable for next
year, surely the matter can be ac-
compished by the year following.
Don't think for a minute that it
means and tremendous cash outlay.
Many Wisconsin farmer has more
money invested in a horse, bull or
barn than this whole project would
cost.
