Very truly yours,
FJ. S. Donald,

'This official statement shows that
Governor Phillip has dipped into the
state treasury for running expenses
just $1,O8O,OO2. The state treas
ury has been depleted that much in
enc year to make a saving in tax levy
of $841, 626. To save $841,626 the
present administration has spent ST.
080,002.36 out of the working balance
in the state treasury carried over from
his predecessor. He has reduced the
treasury balance $238,376 more than
he has saved in the tax levy, What
has become of this $238,376? The
Governor should file a bill of Particu-
lars. The fact is that the state rev.
enues have been decreased by lower
taxes on insurance companies and
railroads, and expenses have been in
creased by newly created positions
and increased salaries.
"Study these figures. They show
how the treasury working bnaance has
been robbed to make a false showing.
of economy-tO make a saving which
does not exist, which never existed,
and which all the Juggling Of the Gov
ernor and his special 81 500 account
ant cannot cover up. The treasury
balance for August 10, 1915 was $4,-
309,332, and after deducting the rail
road taxes in the state treasury last
year,-which by new law were al
lowed to remain in the railroads >

gust 10, 1916. | have quoted figures
from the Secretary of State, the
stats official bookkeeper. But to be
sure of my figures, have had them
verified by the State Treasurer, Hen
ry Johnson, who is running for re
election on the same ticket as the Gov
ernOr. Mr. Johnson also keeps books
to show the condition of the treasury

Mr.. C. H. Crownhart, Madison,
Wisconsin.
Dear Sir: hereby certify that the
balance in the general fund as shown
by the books of the state treasurer
at the close of business on August
10Th, 1915, was $4,392 ,472.8O, and that
the balance in the general fund at the
close of business August 18th, 1916,
was $9O6,695.4O.

Henry Johnson,
State Treasurer
"You will see that the figures Of
the Secretary of State and State
Treasurer do not exactly agree That
is because bills may be audited by the
Secretary of State a day or two be-

urer. But let US take Mr.. Johnson's
figures and apply the same methods
to make them comparable

GERMAN
DEFIANCE
Of ALLIED
OCEAN PATROL
(By United Press Association)


New London, Conn, Aug. 25.-Los-
ing her way in the fog tug snorting
pulled up beside the German Lloyd
liner Willehad and swung into the pier
of the State Ocean Steamship Co.,
adding another chapter to the Ger
man defiance of the allied Ocean pa
troll. Custom officers think the Willie
had forecasts the arrival of the mer-
chant submarine, Bremen. The Willie
had made the trip from Boston thru
the Cape Cod Canal to the Ocean pier
more than fifty miles subject to at
tack or capture by her enemies. She
went out beyond the three mile limit
but was not molested. The Willehad
will no doubt act in the same capacity
for the Bremen as the Neckar did at
Baltimore for the Deutschland. The
cargo will be transferred from the
Bremen to the Willehad and the Willie
had will act as mother Ship" hous-
ing the crew and protector. AS the
Deutschland was stationed with a
protecting tug, and a wall and barge
at either end, the Bremen will pro-
badly snuggle into the pier with the
Willehad at the side.

FUR FOLKS A
FOR SURE FALL
fashion AGAIN
BY MARGARET MASON
written for the United Press)

New York, Aug. 25.-It isn't the
stuff that dreams are made of that
| interests US just now even if we hav
been running to Shakespeare for the
last few months.
It's the stuff that our Fall and
| Winter frocks and suits are to be
fashioned from that has US all agog.
One thing is sure, we are going to
be even more feartsomely fursome
than ever. Esquimos will look posi-
lively bareskinned compared to us
if we wear all the furry fashions that
the fur designers have prepared for
US.
Fur coats are to be fuller and more
ripply than last season and in order
to rob Peter to pay Paul or. IN other
words, save on our other fur 90 :
ments to put more into our coats
muffs are to be positively. skimpy as
'twere. Just little round bullet affairs.
The craze for moles that has evinc-
ed itself in our summer fur collars
promises to lap over in the winter
season and, in consequence, these little
underground habitants have sky high
prices. Basking in the dazzling light
of popular fancy is enough to account
for the blindness of the 1916 mole.
Mink will return this winter to
fashionable favor and kolinsby and
skunk still hold their own.
Obviously, with such a craze for
furs impending, near furs or mater
ials made to initiate the real thing
will be much in evidence. "Ederella''
is one which Stimulates breadtait. 1t
comes in narrow strips for landings
and also in yard width lengths. In
the same widths also comes 'Eursine"
which has a thick, soft, furlike nap.
For frocks we will ape the monks
with two materials loosely woven like
sackcloth or the coarse fabric of which
friars robes are made. --
Like a twilled ratine is ''serge
mouffionne," and "drapelld" is a close
imitation of broadcloth
Serge and garbadine still continue
in favor and there is lovely thick
soft diagonally twilled material, qui :
new, called double trykho."
AS for colors we are to go quite
subdued and almost sombre, demurely
draped in brown, blue or violet.
Brown in particular is to be much
worn and many smart Fall suit
will be done brown. There is a new
shade Of it called "Senegallais." At
least. It's name is new and that is
about all as it would be hard to diff
ferentiate between it and our old
brown friend "tete de negre."
Skirts are to be longer to matcn
the days and they say that tickle
Dame Fashion will cast her hoops out
Of her heart and her wardrobe and
return to slimpsy, soft, straight lines.
Coming events cast their shadows
before it is true, but just because the
shadow happens to look bit HOPELESS
now don't get reckless and hurriedly
cast off your hoop on the strength of
mere forecast. Bear in mind that

Berlin, Aug. 25.-Preparation Tor
the German Submarine Deutschland s
next trip to the United States is al
most complete.
The cargo is about ready and will

The crew that returned last Wednes-

who was standing on the submarine.

The people of the United States,
more than any other country in the
world, have come to recognize the
consideration due to labor. In this
country, as in no other, the man or
woman who tolls is respected above
all others. Whether he or she may be
one of those master minds which plan
and direct the work of this nation, or
one of those who carry out those plans
the worker has the respect and good

Paris also claims the capture of

southwest of Hill 304 and the beating
off of German attempts to recapture

ALLIES NOT READY
To DISCUSS PEACE

Washington. May %. THE die Is
cast. Germany must fight on to the
bitter end and cannot escape retribu-
tion by useless appeals to neutrals for
peace"
This is the answer of the entente
allies to the steadily increasing peace
talk which has reached official circles
here from Berlin.
Both the president and Secretary OF
State Lansing have been informed
confidentially from the sources close
to the entente capitals that peace pro
posals now are out of the question
The time is not ripe. II Is explained
and the time viii not be ripe until
Germany's military dominance has
been completely broken"
Realizing that this position assumed
by the allies might tend unfavorably
to influence public opinion in neutral
countries the chanceliories in Lon
don, Paris and Petrograd have dis
couraged all talk of peace proposals.
