Washington, April 19-Maj. Gen.
Hugh L. Scott, chief Of staff Of the
army, will go to San Antonio, Tex,
tonight, by order of Secretary Baker
in order to get accurate information
as to the situation on the border The
secretary issued the following state
ment:
General Scott leaves for San An
tonic this evening at my request He
will spend several days with General
Funston and then return. This trip is
made solely for the purpose of getting
as accurate information as possible for
the department. General Funston re-
mains in full charge of the expedition.
He has the full confidence Of the de-
part1nent and his dispositions have the
departments entire approval"
Secretary Baker would not discuss
General SCOTS mission beyond his
formal statement.
1T was assumed. however. that his
report will go far toward determining
the course to be pursued in Mexico.
1t Is known, however. that General
Funston has been insisting that he
shift his border. base In order to short
| en- the line Of communication. .. ...
Fear Anti-American Feeling.
The department apparently has hesi-
| tated to authorize any radical change
in the status Of the expedition in the
face Of request from General Carranza
that the troops be recalled, believing 1T
| might tend to increase an'ti-American
feeling among Carranza garrisons
Until the German situation is fully
| understood it is impossible to forecast
the new move in the situation.
1t is believed that General Tunston's
decision to place additional troops at
General Pershing's disposal aroused
the departrn ent to determine on a
course to pursue with as little delay
as possible.
Wood Confers With Baker.
Major General Wood former chief
| of staff and now commander of the
eastern department. today conferred
| with Secretary Baker and Major Gen.
eral Scott. He said his visit had to do
only with the summer training camp
! movement
General Wood said Secretary Baker
| wished to know about how many men
| would turn out for training in his de-
partment this year. He was told that
from 10000 to $4,000 men would be
! available if provision could be made
| to train them.
Eastern departments this year will
include Plattsburg and CHATTANOOGA
| Tenn.

THE ANDERSEN FUNERAL

The assemblage of people at the
Congregational church last Sunday
afternoon for the A. N Andersen
funeral was very large, attestlne
the widespread esteem in which the
deceased was held throughout the
city.
Rev. C. H. Sanders, for number
of years pastor of the local Congre-
gational church, and a close friend
of Mr. Andersen, was here from
South Milwaukee to deliver the ad-
dress, which was an eloquent and
touching tribute to the sterling quail
tiles of the departed friend. The
funeral being under the auspices OF
the Masons, Masonic rites were con-
Quoted by James Watson, of Chippe-
wa Falls.
Floral offerings were profuse and
very beautiful.
At the conclusion of the service
at the church, a large cortege fol
lowed the remains to their last
resting place at Riverside cemetery.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

Period about Al B. C. Photographed
at Rome, Italy, and Alexandria,
Egypt. Time required to show, 2
hours.
Antony and Cleopatra" was made
with fitting sense of its import
ance as classic. More than sew
enty-five hundred persons participate
in the great scenes of the drama,
which themselves are unrivaled for
barbaric splendor and lavishness of
costume. The action of the story is
divided almost equally between Rome
and Alexandria, and in addition to
the many beautiful scenes in Rome
are added the splendors Of Cleopat-
ras' court, which with its curious
manners of life and unique architec-
ture contrast delightfully."-.
The story itself is remarkably
strong and human The world-old
ever-new tragedy of Antony, whose
infatuation for the beautiful Cleopat
ra changed the boundaries of modern
Europe and altered the history OF
Christendom, is told with force and
vigor.

GOOD WORK ON STREET

Some excellent work has been
done on the street leading out past
the Fountain Campbell plant and
connecting with the cemetery road
What was a rough, winding, narrow
road has been transformed into a
well-graded highway, with most of the
turns and heavy grades done away
with. This street is being graded
through to Lake7av., following and
making use of part of the railway
way between that street and
Pederson-av, thereby obviating a
railroad crossing there. This is a
great improvement, making access to
the cemetery road much easier
and is also a needed connection be-
tween Lake and Peterson avs.
We understand the road connecting
the highway above referred to with
the Shaw Dam road, near the Foun-
tain Campbell plant, will be put in
good shape this fall, after which a
great deal of the traffic up the Gates
road will be diverted to this route,
shortening the distance a little and
cutting out two railroad crossings.

ATTENDS REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM CONVENTION

V. v. Miller, republican assembly
nominee, returned Wednesday morn
ing from Madison, where he attend
ed the republican platform conven.
ton held Tuesday.
Mr.. Miller reports that the con-
vention was not as quiet and har-
monious an affair as one wonld infer
from the accounts given in some OF
the papers, although it is true that
harmony won the day and the more
radical ones on each side were
forced to make concessions to the
end that a platform acceptable to
all could be adopted. One Of the
proposed planks for the platform
that was promptly squelched, Mr.
Miller informs us, was one that de-
clared for the repeal of the primary
election law.
A large percentage of the assembly
and state senatorial nominees were
present at the convention and Mr..
Miller states that a majority of them
were new men.
