Death of Shell Lake Assemblyman

mit.ee of Head-Will Hold
Special Election.

Madison-School legislation viii oc-
cupy much of the time of the legisla-
ture at the coming session, according
to plans being formulated by educa-
tors.
1t has been no secret that the COM
nittee of 100, which. was organized a
year ago, and which includes many
well known teachers of the state, will
be in Madison with bills or recon-
mendations for revisions of the school
laws. The members of that committee
have professed to be interested in the
welfare of the common schools, and
little reference has been made in their
announcements to the regulation of
the higher institutions of learning.
Members of the legislature have re-
ceived letters from State Superinten-
dent of Instruction c. P. Cary, ac-
quaintipg them with the fact that
there is to be much school legislation
and enclosing a pamphlet containing
the laws now on the statute books.
The death of Assemblyman H. M.
Laursen of Shell Lake takes away the
only logical chairman of the commit
tee on insurance and banking. Mr..
Laursen was the only member of the
committee in 1915 who was returned
TO the assembly. He was especially
fitted for the chairmanship.
At the special election which is to be
held to elect his successor it is prob
able that w. M. Rowe of Sarona, who
was defeated at the primary by mar
row margin by Mr.. Laursen, will be
candidate, and the prospects of his
election are bright.

They gained gigantic advantages over
adversaries superior in number and

LINER CALLED A TRANSPORT
Note From Germany Contends Subma-
rine Commander Believed Arabia
Was Carrying Troops.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Germany, in a
note made public on Thursday by the
state department contends that the
British steamer Arabia, sunk in the
Mediterranean November 6, was in
reality "a transport ship for troops in
the service of the British. government,
which is to be considered as an aux
Hilary warship according to interna-
tional law, and can, therefore, be treat
ed like warship." The German gov
ernment's attitude however, like that
in the Marina case, is expressed to be
one of readiness to make amends if it
be shown that the submarine COM
mander violated Germany's pledges to
the United States and made regret
table mistake"
1t may be said that the United States
does not regard the circumstances that
the German note recites as showing
justification for sinking the Arabia
without warning or as relieving the
submarine commander from establish
ing the status of the liner.

SAYS EMBARGO ONLY HOPE
Governor Phillip Believes Food Prob
lem Is Matter for the Fed
eraI Authorities.

Madison-'T know of nothing that
could be accomplished by the legisla-
ture that would reduce the cost of liv-
ing" said Gov E. l.. Phillip. unless
the government sees fit to stop export,
j can see no hope for reduced cost of
food until we have harvested another
crop.
In Wisconsin we have no great
storage houses for grain except at Su-
perior, where grain is held during the
winter for transportation by boat in
the spring. Grain is stored in Mil
waukee to some extent, but the spec
ulation is not enough to affect the mar
ket.
"The high cost of food has been
brought about in a large measure by
the abnormal price paid for grain. We
cannot look for cheap beef and pork
with the price of feed at the present
high water mark"

U. S. SENDS PROTEST
WASHINGTON FORWARDS NOTE
TO BERLIN ON BELGIAN
SITUATION.
Deportation Methods-Cails 1t
Blow to Humanity.

Washington, Dec. IA note to Ger
many protesting against the deporta-
ton of Belgians for forced labor as
contrary to all precedents and humane
principles of international practice was
made public on Friday by the state de-
parchment.
The note was cabled to Charge Grew
at Berlin on November 20, the day Am
bassador Gerard discussed the subject
with President Wilson, with instruc-
lions that he read it to the German
chancellor personally.
In making it public, the state depart
ment announced that the interview had
taken place, but said nothing about re-
suits.
The text of the protest follows:
1.-THE government of the United
States has learned with the greatest
concern and regret of the policy of the
German government to deport from
Belgium portion of the civilian popu-
lation for the purpose of forcing them
to labor in Germany, and is constrained
to protest in friendly spirit, but most
Solemnly against this action, which is
in contravention of all precedents and
of those principles of international
practice which have long been ac-
copied and followed by civilized ma
tons in their treatment of noncom-
batants in conquered territory.
Furthermore, the government OF
the United States is convinced that
the effect of this policy, if pursued,
will in all probability be fatal to the
Belgian relief work, so humanely
planned and so successfully carried
out, result which would be generally
deplored and which, it is assumed
would seriously embarrass the Ger
man government.
