To Cut Insurance Rates.


Insurance Commissioner Cleary
confirmed the statement made by
Governor Philip in an address at
Plymouth that fire insurance rates on
dwellings in Wisconsin are to be re-
duced. Commissioner Cleary said
that some of the schedules had not
been completed and for this reason he
was not in a position to make a def
mite statement on the exact reductions
to go into effect on the different classes
of dwellings. 1t was also declared by
Mr. Cleary that an investigation of
mercantile stocks and other CONNER
cial hazards was being made and that
suit.
In the opinion of many people faEil-
lar with the fire insurance situation in
Wisconsin, the acquiescence of the
companies to submit to this arrange
ment, brought to a head by Mr.. Cleary,
is the result of the unremitting cam
paign carried on by Herman L. Ekern,
while insurance commissioner, and
Senator La Toilette in his fight on the
insurance combine in Wisconsin. The
unwholesome facts of the fire situation
in this state, by which it has been
proved that Wisconsin has had to pay
more for fire protection than any other
state in the Union, have brought such
a storm of protest from the people and
it is declared that the companies
realized that something had to be
done.

Withdrawal Now lnexpedient.

Had President Wilson in a state
ment issued from the White House
not declared that the single object OF
the punitive expedition was to cap
ture Villa there IS no doubt that Gen
eral Funston would have been direct
ed to withdraw the troops several days
ago. The administration deems it in
expedient, however, to act too quickly
and was preparing to get out when a
proper opportunity presented itself.
In view of what has happened. how
ever, the president and his advisers
are reluctant to recall the troops and
thereby give the impression that the
United States is afraid. The moral
effect of such a move would be ex-
tremely bad. On the other hand, to
stay in Mexico means to bring about
the situation which Villas raid on Co
lumbus was intended to productive
creation of state O. war between the
United States and the Carranza gov
eminent.

STUDENTS HEALTH
IS LOOKED AFTER
Seven Doctors and Four Nurses
Attend to Needs.
ARE GIVEN EXAMINATIONS
Students Entering Institution Obliged
to Undergo Test at CIinic-Per-
sonal Hygiene Is Not Taught
in CIasses-Advice Given.

Madison.-Seven doctors and four
nurses are required to look after the
health of the 1859 students attending
the University Of Wisconsin, and, judg-
ing from the statistics compiled for
the past five years, they will be
obliged to hold ,27,500 office consulta-
tions and make over 1900 house and
hospital visits during the year 1867
in order to keep a healthy student
body.
Since 1910 the department of elm
zeal medicine at the university has
conducted over $4,000 office consulta-
tions, has made $4,000 house and hos
pital visits and has treated $4,000 stu
dents affected with minor diseases.
The number of consultations has al
most doubled during that time, and
the number of house and hospital Wis.
it's has more than tripled.
Prevention OF disease and especially
Of epidemics is particularly aimed at
by the clinic. Upon entering the uni
Versity students are required to under
go a thorough physical examination at
the clinic The aim of the depart
ment in doing this is to determine the
physical fitness of each student to at
tend the university and bear the
strain of college work, and also to
correct wrong conditions in the edu-
cdtional program or in the personal
life of the student. Over 10000 such
examinations have been conducted
since 1910.
Students are instructed to call at
the medical advisors Office whenever
professional services are desired, and
frequently they consult the clinic for
minor ailments which they would not
think important enough to warrant
engaging an outside doctor, but might
develop into serious trouble If not
treated in time. When major or spe-
cial surgery is necessary students are
referred to specialists. The illnesses
commonest in ordinary life are the
ones for which students are most fire.
quently treated. Infections of the
nose and throat give trouble to the
largest number of students.
Personal hygiene is not taught in
Glasses as III some OI0eT universities,
but the needs of individual students
are met in personal conferences. At
least 20 per cent of the student body
receive personal advice in this way
during the course Of a year, and prac-
tically every student consults a doctor
at some time during his college
career. In this way serious illness
among students has been reduced
greatly below the expectant rate, and
every year shows improvement. The
prompt treatment of colds and grippe
by the clinic has resulted in decreas-
ing the time lost by the student in i'll
nesses resulting from them from eight
or ten days in 1910 to about two and
one-half days in 1915.
Besides serving the students of the
university in this way. the doctors of
the clinic are members of the teach
ing staff Medical students are given
instruction and practical experiences
at the clinic in physical and clinical
diagnosis, surgery and bandaging.

Fear Further Attacks.

The administration and the army
are deeply concerned about the safety
of a number of small columns which
are operating Independently They
may be attacked and overwhelmed, in
view of the situation as described by
General Carranza.
General Funston has been appraised
of the necessity of preventing such a.
disaster. 1t is expected that he will
draw in his forces so as to be in suf-
ficient strength to repel attack.
The situation is such that the presi-
dent and his advisers are gravely con-
cerned.

Withdrawal Demanded

Please cause the secretary of state
to see that it is unwise for American
troops to remain any longer on our
soil, as more serious incidents than
the present one. which we must avoid
at all costs, may develop. Please make
use of any arguments you may deem
advisable to put an end to the situa-
ton created by the presence Of Ameri-
can troops in our territory. 1 viii
keep on advising you through the for
eign Office Of any further incidents.
(Signed) ''V. CARRANZA."

WITH CARRANzA
IF ARMY REMAINS
First Chief" Unable to Controh
Civilians.
ARMY TOLD TO AVOID TOWNS.
American Commanders Ordered Not
to Pass Through Cities in Mexico
Believed Troops VIII Remain
in Mexico Despite Frctests.

Washington, April IA situation
of extreme tension, involving, among
other things, the possibility of an
armed clash with the de facto govern
ment of MeXico-or the withdrawal of
American troops from Mexican terri
tory-faces the president and the.
American people.
This situation has been produced
by two grave developments. The more.
important is the battle which took
place at Parral between an American
force of $50 men and the people and
CaTanza garrison of that city.
While General Obregon, the strate-
gist of the Mexican army, has given
instructions to prevent further fight
ing, General Carranza declares the
excitement is so great among the peo-
pie that | fail to know whether the
struggle can be stopped"
The second development grows out
of lengthy note, presented by direc-
ton of General Carranza, charging
President Wilson with bad faith in
entering Mexico and closing with the
statement that it is already time to
treat about the withdrawal of the
American troops.
Demand Troop Withdrawal.
This statement has been REINFORCED
by dispatch presented to Secretary
Lansing insisting on the necessity of
directing the return Of the American
forces from Mexican soil.
The Mexican ambassador, Senior Ar
redondo, was authorized to make use
of any argument he deemed advisable
to put an end to the situation created
by the presence of American troops in
our territory"
Both General Carranza and his rep
resentative in command of Chihuahua
insist that the outbreak was caused
by the action of the commander of the
American troops in entering Parral
without permission.
The governor of Chihuahua had not
been asked in advance to give author
ity for the passage of the troops
through the city. Had such a request
been made it is stated instructions
would have been sent to Parral and the
incident would not have occurred.
Commanders Are Warned.
Secretary Baker gave instructions to
General Funston to institute an inves-
tigation. The general further was di-
rected to advise the commanders in
Mexico to observe the greatest care in
avoiding towns hereafter.
In defense of the action of the
American column in entering Parral
it is stated that the peculiar mountain
Gus confguration of the country in
which that city is situated necessi-
tated the attempt on the part of the
troops to pass through it.
The administration holds that this
was specifically contrary to the or
ders issued. The orders to General
Funston required the avoidance of all
towns. The puSpos1 Of these orders
was to prevent such an outbreak as
took place at Parral
