AUT0N IN THE FIELD.

A. J. Auton has announced his can
didacy for reelection as county clerk
and will be candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket at the primary election in
September. Mr.. Auton has discharged
the duties of the Office in an efficient
manner. In fact, he is the peer of
any county clerk of the state. Wheth-
er or not he will have opposition at
the primary is not known, but it is
safe 10 predict that he will make a
strong run and, if nominated, will be
generally supported by voters of other
parties as well as his own at the gen
eral election.

CARRANzA FREES TROOPERS.

Washington, d. c., June 2S.-An i'm
mediate break between the United
States and the de facto government of
Mexico has been averted by compli-
ance with the American demand for
release of the twenty-three troopers
captured in the fight at Carrizal.
Whether state of war has been pre-
vented or merely postponed no one
would attempt to say Wednesday night.
Official information as TO the attitude
of Gen. Carranza was lacking. Until
his response to Secretary Lansing's S
note, dispatched Sunday, making two
peremptory and distinct demands is re-
ceived there will be no decision on
whether President Wilson shall lay the
crisis before congress.
News of the release of the prisoners,
received early Wednesday night in
press dispatches, brought undisguised
relief to high officials. 1t was assumed
that Carranza, impressed with the ur-
gency OF the situation, had ordered the
captured cavalrymen started for the
border without waiting for his an
nouncement of the action to reach
Washington.
While it generally is conceded that
this move lessons tension, no one con.
versant with the grave problem is los
ing sight of the fact that the all i'm
portant question of Carranza's attitude
toward the American expedition across
the border to protect the territory and
citizens of the United States from ban.

de facto goyernn ent stands upon the
orders of Gen. Trevino to attack Pcrsh'
| ing's men when they move otherwise
than toward the border, the situation
actually is just what it was before, ex
cept that there now is a possibility o.
diplomatic negotiation that did not eX
ist while the Americans were held
prisoners at chihuahua.
The preparations of the United States
for war will go steadily forward There
will be no interruption of the rush o.
National guardsmen to the border, and
Gen. Funston will continue disposing
of the forces under his command a,

tack from the Mexicans,

BUERSTATTE ORGANIZING.


Buerstatte, has been recalled to active
service and ordered to act as recruiting
officer at Manitowoc. His Instructions
are to recruit up to so and await or
ders. 1t is not thought that this is
movement to organize another volun-
teer company at Manitowoc but merely
to have a reserve ready to keep the
local company up to war strength.
The recruits will be drilled and fitted
as far as possible for active service and
probably will be kept here and for
warded as needed. Indications are that
recruiting will be slow unless the gov
ernment's need should appear to be
more pressing than it is generally
thought to be.

That only per cent of Wisconsin
teachers, excluding those working in
the cities of the state, teach six years
or over has been determined by an
analysis of the statistics of 1914 10.
On the other hand more than one
third of the total number of teachers
have total teaching experience of
six years or more. A comparison OF
the tables showing the amount of
teaching in the locality as compared
with the total amount of teaching ex-
perience reveals the fact that there
is an enormous amount of changing
positions, which is not TO be accounted
for by leaving the profession of teach
ing.
For example; in the rural schools
only 30 per cent of the total number
of teachers have taught one year or
less Yet % per cent, or over twice
as many, have taught in the local
district one year or less. In the state
graded schools, grades below high
schools, and high schools the showing
is even worse. These figures prove
the value of the recent law giving
state aid to teachers remaining in one
district for considerable term of
years.
The date for the regular annual
meeting of the Manitowoc County
Teachers Association has been set as
September 20.30. The program is
being arranged now and an early an
nouncement of it will be made.
The County fair this year will be
one week later than in the past. 1t
will be held August 29.30 81.
The graduation exercises OF the
Manitowoc high school was held last

CHAUTAUQUA.

Manitowoc is going to have a
Chautauqua again this summer An
excellent program has been arranged
by the committee in charge. The
dates set are July 24-29. The COM
plete programs will be ready soon and
distributed. The daily papers will also
give the program IN detail as soon as
possible. There will be something at
this Chautauqua for everybody, young
and old. The lectures and musical
numbers will be SO varied that they
will appeal to all. The Junior de-
partment of this Chautauqua will be
stronger than ever before. During
the forenoon special exercises, plays
and games will be offered the boys and
girls. In addition there will be lee.
lures for them also.
Such numbers as will occur on this
program ought to appeal to the
teachers of the county. Every num-
Der will be uplifting, educative and in
spring. 1t will serve as teachers
institute in its line of attractions.
shall urge teachers to take advantage
of this opportunity. Nearly every
teacher, no matter how far away from
the city she lives, can at this time
when there are SO many people, friends
and neighbors with automobiles attend
many if not all of the numbers. Adult
tickets will cost $500. These are good
for any number during the entire
week, and for any member of the
family. Children's tickets are 81 90,
This includes admission to all junior
activities during the day. Tickets
may be secured from the county super-
intendent or any member of the com
mittee.
Z How can it be possible that candi-
date for president can receive half a
vote as in the case of Hughes and
Roosevelt?
The Summer Institute for teachers
will be held August l7-lS-l9.
