ENTERPRISES.
$4,000 NOW VOLUNTEERED

Is Chairman.

Oshkosh.-Fifty representative bust
ness men of this city met at a banquet
to further promote the industrial fund
of 100000 to be used in loans to aid
infant industries of this city.
At a previous meeting short time
ago called by R. c. Brown, who start
ed it, the movement met with so much
enthusiasm that the last meeting was
nearly trebled. The meeting will lead
to Incorporation of the Oshkosh Indus
trial Promotion company, and will
make loans to home manufacturers
when legal restrictions bar banks from
making such loans.
Louis G. Schriber, banker, was elect
ed chairman of the finance committee.
He said it was the sense of those pres
ent that this was the first proposition
of real merit that Oshkosh business
men ever had put before them and
that the proposition was in capable
hands to ultimate success; that al
ready $4,000 had been volunteered
before any one had known if the plan
would be gone any further with
Another meeting will be held on
Feb IL, to further the association and
it's purpose.

INCREASE is SHOWN
WHooPING COUGH ATTACKED
2,s1s IN STATE LAST YEAR.
State Regulations Prescribe Thorouuh
Precautions During Existence
of MaIady.

Madlson.-Whoopin cough, consid-
cred by many as an innocent disease
OF childhood, attacked 2,31S persons
In Wisconsin last year. This, the rec
ORD shows, is marked increase over
other years. Much satisfaction is af-
forded, however, by the conspicuous
decline in deaths from this disease.
The mortality in 1915 was 1O7. Twenty
four of these we're in Milwaukee. In
1914, when there were 1,121 cases.
deaths were only 85. In 1918 there
were I'll deaths, and in the preceding
year 232.
Wisconsin, according to census fig
ures, is one of the states in the regis
trat1on area having a notably low
death rate from whooping cough-7.4
per 100000 population.
The state rules require that whoop-
ing cough must be reported to the To-
cal health officer within twenty-four
hours; that the house be conspicuously
placarded; that the patient be isolated
until after the whooping stage (about
six weeks); that children having it
may not leave the premises, and chill
dren other than members of the fam
lily shall not enter or remain upon the
premises while the home is placarded.
The infected rooms and contents must
be thoroughly disinfected after the
death or recovery of the patient and
before the placard is removed.

EAU CLAIRE CHEF is DEAD
Was One of the Oldest Police Officers
in United States-On Force
SO Years.

Eau Claire.-Chief of Police La
fayette Elliott, for thirty-eight years
a member of the Eau Claire police
force, died here after an illness of a
few weeks.
The death of Chief Elliott, known
the country over as "Chub,'' marked
the passing of one of the most pic
turesque and, from the standpoint of
length of service, one of the oldest
police officers in the United States.
He had served continuously on the Eau
Claire police force since 1878 until
a few weeks ago, when he was stric-
ken with his last fatal illness, and
in that period of time were crowded
many exciting and dangerous expert
ences.
He was II years old, but despite
his advanced years he actively filled
the Office of chief of police up to a
few weeks ago.

NEW HAVEN EMBARGO
 IS MATERIALLY MODIFIED
Many Commodities Are Now Accepted
 for Shipment in New England.

Through the action of the embargo committee of the eastern freight ac- cumulation conference. the New Haven embargo has been materially modified during the past two weeks. As a re- suit Of the notifications that htve been adopted by the committee, there are many commodities that are now ac- cepted for shipment into New England cnat were formerly on the excluded nst. The object of the committee has been to relieve the situation existing on the New Haven road in the first place and to permit shipments into New England of freight already held by connecting lines in the next place and finally to open up this territory TOT new freight as fast as the situation warrants.
 In making these notifications the committee has been endeavoring to impress upon shippers and consignees the necessity of loading freight to the SulleSt capacity of the cars in order to shippers have also been urged to send forward no more freight than Is actual ly needed for immediate business, and finally t0 unload promptly. In CO., operating with the committee in these ways 1t Is hoped that the normal sit- uation will sooon be again in evidence.
 The latest embargo of the New Ha- ven has If separate items. The first announces the placing of the embargo, while the second and third state cer- tain sections where the embargo does not apply. The embargo does not ap- ply on freight originating locally on certain roads in northern New Eng land and certain districts of Canada.

gotten in the realities of a sterner present and future.
 The situation in the United States at present is necessarily colOred by grave anxiety, not only on account of what may possibly happen in the way of actual disturbance but by reason of what must be done even though we never see a day of war. For many years we all participated in the dream that the really great nations of the world never again come into any seri- Ous conflict. We had a brief awaken on, and our slumber was disturbed a little during the short war between Russia and Japan. But so far as the present war Is concerned, I believe that two years ago there was not one human being, in the old world or the war would ever be carried on: and it IS, consequently, the uncertainty as to what may happen which makes us in quire of ourselves what are our pres ent duties as great, free, independ- ent nation. We may and should pray for a continuance of peace; but we cannot put out of our minds what might happen in the event of war.
 Precisely what should be done under existing conditions the average person does not know. The greatest states men of our nation are at variance on the anu war experts are no means in agreement.
 Five hundred editors of newspapers in the United States recently gave to the Literary Digest their views as to what should be the size of the army and navy, and though they do not agree on numbers. they almost without exception urge preparation against possible trouble. Their average esti- mate for the regular army is 2S5,o7s and for the reserve 1,215, 5,359 As to the navy, 40 per cent, Of these papers favor @ navy second only to Great Britain, while 60 per cent. favor a navy as large as any in the world.

 On one side of the tags were the words, Let us highly resolve that this people shall not perish from the earth" and on the other side appeared the date, April 8, 1916.

Of these nine million, three million are entirely de- pendent on charity and this need will continue until the war is over.
