GERMANY MAKING
READY FOR YEAR
Thousands of Great Guns Be-
ing Turned Out Weekly in
Munitions Factories.
SURE LINES WILL HOLD FIRM
Germans Don't Believe British
and French Can Break
Thru Western Defense.

BERLIN. Jan 1-OBy wireless TO
the Associated Press. via SayVillc)-
Many thousand guns per week is re-
ported to be the measure of the
mighty manufacturing effort which
Germany is now making for the cam
paign Of 1917-an effort upon which
the entire manhood force of the ma
tion which can be spared from the
front and the regular occupations Is
being concentrated under First Quar-
termaster-General Won Ludcnorfs
universal labor service law.
Counting four months before the
probable renewal of the world war I'm
full vigor on all fronts, these figures
means a new immense supply of can
non Of all calibers, from field guns up
To the gigantic howitzers, to meet the
admittedly gigantic effort which the
entente allies are expected to make in
this the third year of kitchcner's'
prophesy to turn the scales of the war.
Make Ammunition.
Along with these guns the German
factories are turning out corresponds
mgly stupendous quantities OF am
munition and the production OF ma
chine guns, each of which virtually
replaces a platoon of men, has been
placed on a scale far beyond that of
the past year.
The campaign of 1917 will, it is al
ready evident, be fought as a wide
extension and development of the
Somme battle with even heavier
concentration of artillery over Il far
wider front and with lines literally
bristling with machine guns. Conf
dent that their opponents will be un-
able to break thru this wall of steel
and fire is not only expressed by the
higher commanders, but also is mani
tested right down into the ranks of
the common people.
Bring Thousands Back.
To produce great masses of war
material thousands of skilled men
have been brought and are being
brought back from the front and
placed in the Krupp and other mu-
milton factories. These men are re-
placed in the ranks by levies set free
by the universal labor service bill
and by a widespread coming out Of
ablebodied men from hitherto exempt
occupations. Another expected de-
Velopment Of 1917 is a change in the
center OF gravity on the western front
The Somme battle has swept its way
into comparative quietude and while
the military experts here naturally
are unable to predict with certainty
the plans of the Anglo-French lead
ers, recent advices point to trans
fer of the entente allies main efforts
to another region-most likely that
of Nerdun. where the French energies
recently have been concentrated on
extending to its original size the sally
port west of the Meuse-the most OBJ
vious point as that nearest to the heart
of Germany-for the effort to roll

BARABOO HOSPITAL TO

A business meeting was held by the
physicians of Baraboo at the office of
Dr. Irwin to discuss some preliminary
arrangements relative to the opening
of the Baraboo hospital. Plans were
agreed upon, but the details were not
perfected. Ten physicians attended
and were unanimous in their desire to
get the hospital in operation as speed
lily as possible, but few non-essen-
tails were left to be further matured
at later meeting. In the very near
future those interested confidently ex-
pect these efforts to eliminate in the
opening of the Fischer building again
under the management Of Miss Char
Iotte E. Smith, in association with
Miss Amanda A. Larsen, trained

called, operated the Baraboo hospital
previously, in conjunction with Miss
Impecoven. A fuller report will soon
be given to the public.

HEAP CRITICISM ON
GERMAN CHANCELLOR

The conservatives and pan-Germans
have now brought UP their heavy ar
tillery in the battle against Chancellor
Won Bethmann-4ollweg and boldly lay
the blame for long duration Of the
war at his door, says report from Co.
penhagen. The Conservative Deutsche
Tages Zeitung explains that three or
four days delay Of German mobiliza-
ton at the outset of the war, due to
the chancellor's hesitant policy caused
the loss of the battle of the Marine.
The paper holds that the troops
that were detached to stem the
Russian invasion of East Prussia,
would have been sufficient to change
che defeat Of General Won Kluck's
army into victory, and that in that
case the war would have ended in
speedy and decisive German triumph.
Demands Peace Statements
In referring to the Russian govern
ment's explanation of it's war aims,
the Berlin socialist newspaper Vor-
waerts insists Chancellor Won Beth
mann-H o1lweg had no reason to post
pone definite statement Of Germany's
aims in the war, and asked what the
chancellor is waiting for.

in the sense Of the Russian peace for
