Then there was the Chilean trouble
when Harrison. was president The
junior officer of the United States
warship Baltimore was killed To the
streets OF Valparaiso and q consider
able number Of sailors wounded.
Again there was q cry for war. But
did not Harrison settle the matter by
negotiation?
Do the Republicans Of today re.
pudiate Harrison?
In the matter OF length Of negetiar
tons: How about the alabama
claims? Those claims against Eng.
land for the loss Of life and property
during the Civil War, caused by the
raiders fitted out in English waters.
Did not Republican administrations
negotiate with England for period Of
10 years? The final settlement being
that England paid the United States
the sum of SIS 100000.
Do the Republicans Of today re-
pudiate the policy Of Grant and Lin.
coin In settling the, Alabama claims
by negotiation?
As ito the Mexican situation: Had
rot state Of war existed In Mexico
for more than two years prior to Viii.
son becoming president? Had not
many American lives been lost by rea-
son Of Mexican bullets on both sides
of the border, and was not Taft presi:
dent? Also there have been other
revolutions in Mexico. There was the
revolution that preceded the admins:
tration of Diaz and which state Of revop
luton lasted several years. And during
that time did we not have Republican
administration at Washington, and
were not American lives lost, Ameri-
can property destroyed and members
of the American legation murdered
But there was no war with Mexico.
Do the Republicans of today re.
pudiate the dealings and policy OF the
administration with the former Next

Taft during the two years Of Mexican
trouble that he was president?
The motto of President Wilson is,
ITO maintain our national honor by

and in his endeayor to maintain Il by

THEORY OF
SHARK EPIDEMIC
OFF NORTH COAST

/ NEW YORK, NJ. Y, July 18.--
That efforts to exterminate the sharks
of the man-eating species which are
swarming off the New York and New
Jersey coasts are bound to be futile,
is the opinion Of Capt. William Jen'
son, commander Of trading vessel,
and Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
but for entirely different reasons.
Capt. Jensen last night, shortly
after his arrival here from the South,
declared that the Gulf Stream has
changed its course and that 10 has
brought millions upon millions OF trop'
sieaI fish Of all sorts into northern
waters where they never were before.
The sharks, he believes, are among
countless other varieties OF these fish
! He believes that an sorts Of trop
zeal fish soon win abound In the
waters off the New Jersey and New
York coasts. y

almost impregnabiIity the cost ot taking the Greek port for the Central. Powers would far exceed its military worth.
 Throughout all the theatres, the coming Spring will see the greatest activity of the war; attended by the slaughter which conditions make in- eyita5le, the military experts are say ing.
 Nor will the slaughter be limited Co soldiers, some forecasts declare. It is believed in some circles that Zep- pelins will take heavy toll of civilian population in many quarters. Reports from Friedrichshafen, on Lake Com stance, say that the Zeppelin factory there is turning out twelve or sixteen Zeppelins a month. The German Par seval and ShuItz-Lange factories, located elsewhere also are reported active to an extent of ten times thew normal output.
 This great monthly addition to the German aerial fleet, the experts arc inclined to think, must forecast hitherto unexampIed air raidlng everywhere. The question of the air defence of London is being debated m Parliament and with the appointment of Lord Derby as Air Minister, the public is beginning to have confidence in the ability of the aerial defenders to deal with the Zeppelin menace. Steps in the right direction have been taken in many places.
 The renewed activity of the German submarines, it is admitted here, means toll of non-combatants prob- ably exceeding previous losses, but there is genuine confidence that the navy will meet that problem too.
 The greatest man killing, will be confined to the various armies in the field.

EXPERTS FORESEE SLAUGHTER
 IN WAR THIS SPRING
By WILBUR s. FORREST

By WILBUR ~. fORREo
 Especial to Gateway by United Press)
 LONDON, March 27-(By MaiD- Men who have been in closest touch with every move of the world to date are beginning to forecast that the next five months will bring an unparalleled burst of battle, attended by the worst bloodshed in the worlds history.
 The immense waste of human lise and materials before Verdun, greater than that which shocked the world a5 Liege and Namur, has demonstrated, the experts say that if this war goes on to the bitter end, no phase of history, ancient, medieval or modern, will compare with the slaughter. One military critic said today:
 "The almost impregnable character of the defences on the Western front, which have been building for eighteen months, make it suicide for the frss line of any assaulting body of troops. When a commander orders a battalion to the assault and posts the reserves in the rear ready to follow, he knows that the position attacked will be cap tured by the reserves, if captured at all.
 "He cannot help but know in ad- vance that the first line will melt away before the fire of the opposing side. Before the reserves reach their objective over the bodies of their comrades they too, may have been decimated by the machine gun, rifle and cannon fire which protects the trenches on every mile of the front that runs from the North Sea to Switzerland.
 "No one can blame the commanders for the course they are bound to take. It is war. The men, too, are not un- willing to make the sacrifice. Those in the front ranks know that their chance is slim. The best they can ask for is a wound from which they will ultimately recover. Months of monotonOus trench warfare are re- sponsible for this. The men are will ing and ready for anything that means a diversion from the stalemate of the past year and a half.
 "What will happen on the Western front will be repeated on the Eastern where both the Russians and Germans have been working for months en- trenching, fortifying, constructing wire entanglements and placing heavy ordnance pieces sufficient to sweep the ground for miles around"

PLOVER-GRAND
RAPIDS ROAD

From a letter received from D. H.
Parks, chairman of the town of Plov-
er, Portage county, he says, that a.
mong several roads entered upon the
list in that county for 1917 construc-
ton, is the Plover- Grand Rapids road
which was allotted $4,000 together
with the town money already availa-
bic for this road and donations amount
ing to $4,000 in all, means that the to-
tai sum of $4,000 will be expended on
this road from the village of Plover
west in the spring Of 1917. This road
now on the trunk line system will be
completed before other roads in the
town which they pass thru can be
started This will be a great interest
to everybody in Portage and Wood
counties that have occasion to travel
on this trunk line.

ALPHA SNYDER
COMMITS SUICIDE
Sick, Discouraged and Despondent He Ends His
Life With Shot Gun
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
The citizens of Grand Rapids were
surprised this Thursday morning to
learn that Alpha Snyder, one of our
old and respected citizens, had taken
his life by shooting himself with a
16 guage shotgun, at 7:30 a. m. at his
home in the town of Grand Rapids one
half mile southwest of the Lincoln
school building in the Henry Samp-
son Addition. When found Mr. Sny-
der was found nude and it is believed
that he placed the shotgun on the bed
and pulled the trigger, the charge en-
tering near the heart.
On Tuesday of this week he had
been to dentist to have three teeth
extracted on account of his having
been troubled for some time with neu-
ralgia in his head, and he thought
these teeth were the cause of the trou-
ble After the teeth were extracted
very Sc re hemorrhage followed
and the dentist had considerable trou-
BILE in stopping the flow of blood He
returned to the same office Wednes-
day afternoon for further treatment
This, with other troubles unknown to
the family was probably the cause of
his taking his life.
Alpha Snyder had always been a
hard working man who had the conf
dence and respect of the community
in which he lived. He had met with
many misfortunes in his family which
had depressing effect upon him anc
inclined to be discouraged.
Three of his sons having met with
accidents in our paper mills, which
crippled them for life, one having los
his right hand. These with many other
troubles were undoubtedly the things
that caused him to temporarily lose
his mind and take his life in this man,
ner.

In addition to sending out wealth
er reports for the state which the bu-
reau at Madison furnishes. the uni
versity wireless station receives daily
the general weather reports from
Washington for the region of the
Great Lakes, and also the standard
time.
Farmers throughout the state and
persons in small towns would find it
valuable to have amateur receiving
stations to pick up the weather fore
cast messages since the radio service
is more rapid than wire service.

dams County, a closed county, Tay-
lor and Larsen had gone into the wods
near Preston, eight miles from Friend
ship trapping and had run into a buck
that had been shot and wounded and
which might have travelled for many
miles after being shot. They also
found the hide of doe at this point.
Before Larsen and Taylor had come
upon the deer, three neighbors had
found them and had left to get knife
to cut the bucks throat, when they
returned they found Larsen and Tay-
Tor on the ground and suspected that
they were guilty of shooting the buck
and swore out a warrant for their ar
rest In the meantime the game war
den had sold the buck to the first three
parties for SIS. The case was dismiss
ed for want of evidence. It is report
ed that deer are very plentiful in A
dams county and that many had been
killed in that county even though it
is closed.

Alpha Snyder was sc years old the
3rd of last March He was born in
McHenry County, Illinois, and came
to Wood County with his parents when
only 4 years of age, in 1854. Most
of his life has been spent in Wood
county. He leaves a wife and eight
children to mourn his death. They are
Willis, Archie and Mrs Emma Cham
berlain of Grand Rapids; Frank, Jesse
and Scott of Minneapolis; Milton of
Montana. He also leaves five half
brothers who are: Fred and Joseph of

LOWER
EGG PRICES

The only hope for lower egg price
lies in an open season. If warm wea-
Their prevails from now on in the south
the southern chickens will lay eggs,
and these eggs about the middle of
December will begin to invade the
New York market, just as they did
last year, with a corresponding break
in price
If such favorable weather condi-
tons do develop and eggs begin to
come in the break will come with q
crash, and then the egg gamblers of
New York City will be up against
their own prophecy, and the smile
now muzzling the mug of James E,
Wetz, who owns 1O8,0O0,000 storage
eggs, will look like the cracked mud
bottom of dried up mill pond.
Wisconsin hens ought to get busy
too if this nice weather continues. Then
if the housewife will get along with
about one-half as many eggs as she
has been using there will be something
doing all along the line. When one
man thinks he has a fence around al
the eggs in the country he should re-
receive a jolt from the people.

Madison, Wis, Dec. g. Wireless
weather forecasts for all parts of
Wisconsin are now sent out daily by
the University of Wisconsin student
wireless squad from the new sending
station which was recently added to
the university radio equipment.
These reports are furnished by Err

a short distance from the university
wireless station. Daily at about II
o'clock these reports are sent out by
a member of the wireless squad, and
the strength Of the sending appara-

picked up in the most remote part of
the state.
An amateur anywhere in the state
would be able to get these weather
forecasts very easily, according to

the wireless work at the university.
