hold Belgium and possibly "A portion OF

AS it is. she cannot obtain peace on
terms that in the smallest degree
recognize her great victories and CON
quests, because she has failed to take
single foot Of British territory and
has so far failed to fud any weapon
which would disturb British safety or
menace British imports.

snail Germany persuade the British to
permit them to the gate? If she
cannot persuade them by force. she must
meet British terms.
These terms have been forecast. the

of peace must be the restoration BY
Germany of all the provinces and

A Hard Position

The president of the United States
must go ahead and do what he thinks
is best for the nation, and he is doing
this regardless of those who want to
annihilate him because he does not jump
into war with the German nation; be-
cause he does not do the same thing
with England and the other warning
nations. He is also denounced because
he has not declared war against Mex
leo. There are those who want this
nation to be in war, but those crying
for this condition would let the other
fellows do the fighting. There are those
who want the president to intervene
in Mexico and denounce him because
he does not tell the Japanese where
to get off. There are others who do
not want war of any kind and de-
nounce President Wilson because he
has called out the National Guards to
protect our border line between Mex
leo and the United States. So you see,
gentle reader, how utterly impossible
it is for the president to do anything
but pursue his course to keep the
nation out of war. If he succeeds in
doing this and saves the lives of thou
sands upon thousands of the young
men of America, he will have accom-
plished task not excelled by any other
American. President Wilson has been
tried and there will be no war during
his term of office, if he can prevent it.
It is said that Roosevelt is slated for
the position of secretary of war in case
of Hughes election. In such case a
war with Germany, Japan and Mexico
would not surprise anyone.

column of the Milwaukee Free Press
of yesterday, the following clipping,
it naturally calls up some reflections
in looking backward, politically speak

will prove interesting to many of your

Gen. Frederick c. Winkler. Mil

of his support in the coming campaign.
Gen. Winkler's message reads: Have

enjoyed the trip if you were able to
take it, for the car line couldn't help
us in this case; it was worth while
tho, if only to see the country. Cross

cross the Northwestern track and
enter beautiful pine grove of about
one hundred trees; a grand relic of
former days, and may it remain
hundred years hence; bordering on
North Third avenue.
Here is our friends house. 1t is

and is out looking after the young
chickens. Is this a society? 1t ap-

They are cool, and comfortable and
good natured. One baby's shoes are
left uncovered at the ankle, and it
looks good to us. Some we know
would keep the baby fretting for the
sake of looking trim.
Oh yes, we have Rules of Order, tho
we seldom follow them. If we did we
might sometimes overlook important
matters, as for instance this question:
why do my three weeks old chickens
droop and drag their wings?"
What can one do for cut-worms ?"
Then follows an irregular debate
which leads nowhere in particular
The consensus of opinion seeming to
be that the hen with her wise old

WAR NOTES

Troop A, First Cavalry, and Battery
A, w. N. G., have reached San Antonio,
Texas, and within ten days will be
on the frontier.
Rumors are that Villa has come to
life again and is at the head of $4,000
Mexican troops in northern Mexico.
Another report says that he is still
dead.
First Regiment, W. n. G., departed
from Camp Douglas on Thursday for
the Mexican border. The machine
gun and band from Madison were
taken along.
The second regiment, w. N. G., left
Camp Douglas yesterday for Mexico.
Three trains carried the boys, one
leaving at 10 a. M, another at II M,
and another at 2:30 p. m.
Troop A of Wisconsin has arrived in
Texas; their camping grounds was
mass of mud, six inches deep, on
account of the rain. Camps had to be
raised and work generally performed
under great difficulties.
The Wisconsin National Guards are
now mustered into the federal service
for three years. When company was
sworn in any individual member had
the right to refuse to take the oath,
and in such event were sent back.
None of such have returned to Wau-
sau.
Gen. Charles King is not satisfied
with conditions in Mexico. He is of
the opinion that the slightest dis
turbance may terminate in war. The
people of Mexico are in an angry
mood. Only on the Fourth a Mexican
nearly brought on a conflict by MAX
ing face at an American flag
One of the big days at Camp Doug
las was on July Fourth. Maj. L. T.
Richardson, U. S. A, was formally
commissioned brigadier general, as
Gen. Charles King pinned two bronze
stars on the shoulder straps of his
coat. Gen. Holway addressed the men.
Gen. Richardson will command the
brigade.
Letters from the boys at Camp
Douglas have been to the effect that
the surgeons have been very critical.
The principal defects upon which
many have been rejected are poor
eyes and fiat feet The boys are in
splendid health. The food furnished
has the approval of every soldier and
all are unstinted in their praise of
the good and substantial things dealt
out to eat.
Seven more members of Co. G failed
to pass the rigid physical examina-
ton at Camp Douglas during the past
week and arrived home Saturday
evening. Those rejected are Emil
Bonner, Albert and Arthur Will, Adolph
Christianson, Edward Callahan, Har-
ry Taylor and Anton Schymanski. All
OF the former and latter rejec-
tives with one or two exceptions are
sadly disappointed at not being able
| to join their comrades.
Owing to the very careful medical
examinations conducted by the federal
doctors, it has taken much time to
| look over all of the soldiers at Camp
Douglas. About 20 per cent have been
| rejected and sent back to their homes
| 1t is probable that if war had been de-
| clared this work would have been
rushed through and many more taken
