SOLDIERS NATIONS CUT.

Paris, July 12.-Information a1- leged to have been obtained from a deserter from the 18th German in- fantry is to the effect that the Ger man soldiers fresh meat ration has been cut down from 375 grams daily to 200 grams, which is just half of the ration of fresh meat received by the French soldiers. The German canned meat ration is also alleged to have been cut down to 15O grams, as compared with the 250 grams of canned meat in the French ration.

Paris, July 12.-The number of shots that can be fired from one of the French 3-inch guns before it is worn out has, in at least one instance, been found to be as high as 18,S3O, according to the actual count kept by young artilleryman who has sent these figures in from the front. While the three-incher was known to be a robust cannon, the theoretical esti- mate before the war was that thou sand shots would probably be the limit of it's efficiency.

LET THE LAW ALONE.

A Washington dispatch says that
Senator Bankhead of Alabama, chair
man of the post Office committee, has
introduced and had referred to his
committee a bill to repeal the law re
curing editors, publishers and owners
of newspapers, magazines and period
icals to file with the postmaster gen.
eral every six months sworn statements
of names of editors, owners, stock
holders securities and, in the case Of
average circulation. He said he was
acting on his own initiativeTin; behalf of
the small country newspapers.
Senator Bankhead may be acting on
his own initiative; but he certainly is
not acting in the best interests of
country newspapers. The law referred
to is an altogether good law, and ought
to be let alone In these stirring times

DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES.

For delegates at large to the Demo
cratic National convention at st. Louis
every Democrat. every Wilson man, in
Wisconsin should register a vote for
Paul O. Husting, John G. Karel, Will
liam F. Wolfe, and George Hilton.
They include the Democrat elected
United States senator two years ago
and also the Democrat to be elected
United States Senator next fall; and
they all stand solidly together for the
policies of the Wilson administration.
They received the largest number of
votes cast at the Democratic State con-
vention in Milwaukee,; and all the
other candidates before the convention,
except Mayor Scholey of Kenosha, with
drew in their favor. They are taken
and accepted as the choice of the Will
son men of Wisconsin.
Mayor Scholey is evidently what
Ellis Usher would call "self starter, -
and seems to think that the honor of
vention ought to be passed around,
regardless of what man stands for.
What he himself stands for is not very
we'll known, except that he is antagon-
istic to Senator Husting. Upon this
account Democrats should give him no
hearing. A blow struck at Senator
Busting is positive and direct blow at
President Wilson. The President and
the Senator are both of the same school
of political thought and President
Wilson has no more loyal supporter
than Senator Husting. They met for
the first time at Madison in October,
1911, just as Mr.. Wilson was coming
into prominence as a candidate for the
presidency; and they got together at
once, as serious minded men of serious
affairs, and went into consultation as to
a proper water power law for Wiscon-
sin. a matter which was then upper
most in the mind of Senator Husting :;
and they have been doing team work
together ever since.
1t is known of all men how, with
daring alacrity, Senator Husting has
bravely and periodically faced the
presen great crisis in American politics,
and proved himself true leader, by
standing for the country and right,
when others dissembled
1t is the duty of Wisconsin Democrats
to stand for the national administra-
e ton, and for those who stand by it
through thick and thin. All who in
tend to vote for President Wilson at the
polls in November ought to vote for
Wilson delegates at the April primaries.

In the Dodgeville salary case, Judge
jerks held that the mayor and mem
bers of the common council were not
entitled to salaries under the law; but
the mayor and common council having
received salaries under a mutual mis-
take, they are not required to return
the money, but are resti aimed from re-
ceiving salaries in the future. The
Chronicle considers this victory for
the council. Funny paper, anyhow,
that Chronicle. 1t supports the present
state administration, and believes that
prosperity depends upon the tariff.

PRESS POINTS

There is kind and manly ring to this true
comment in The Oconto Enterprise: "We have
no doubt of the honesty Of Mr.. Knop's motive
or that he acted in a perfectly conscientious
manner in voting as he did, for there are two
things which have marked his career as con-
gresham, and they are honesty and con-
scientiousness, yet in this matter we cannot
fail to conclude that his judgment was wrong +"
There are thirteen votes from Wisconsin in
both houses of Congress- eleven the House
and two in the Senate. When it came to backing
the president in protecting American ships only
one voted with the president. That was Hus-
ting. Where were the other democrats from
Wisconsin? Was the patriotic Frear rendering
the lard of the pork bill? Wisconsin stands
against protection of Americanism twelve to
one.-HuGson True Republican.
