AUSTRIANS in
ARMY TO STAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The status
Of several thousands Of Poles, Hun
garians, Bohemians and others owing
allegiance to Austria Hungary. who
are serving in the American military
forces, furnishes an embarrassing
consolidation to the preparations OF
the United States for declaration OF
war with the dual empire. The prob
lem is being discussed by Secretaries
Lansing and Baker and congressional
leaders with a view to legislative ac-
ton. "a - x s1lth
Upon passage of the war resolution
by congress the Austro-Hungarian
subjects would technically become en-.
envy aliens, ineligible for service with
the American colors. Also, under
strict construction Of international
law II they remained in American uni
forms and were captured while bear
ing arms against the nation to which
they legally owe allegiance, they
might be subject to execution for
treason. -
Legislation either to confer Ameri.
can citizenship en- bloc, or by name,
or, to except these men by special
statute from statutes dealing with
civilian enemy aliens is being consid'
cred. =" -. ~.
An obstacle to general action has
been found in the objection of army
commanders to- the presence in them
ranks of men whose loyalty may in
the slightest degree be questionable,
but some means will be found to
guard against throwing out of the
service thousands Of good and loyal
soldiers. =...s.

MACHINE FOR
PEELING POTATOES
Cleans up Bushel in Four Minutes
Without Injuring the Tubers.


Last Friday number of our bust
ness men witnessed the workings of
quite wonderful machine just per-
fected by j. M. Howarth. 1t is very
simple potato peeling machine; it is
different from any now on the mar
ket and the cost is only nominal, and
can be built in large numbers for
one quarter the price of any machine
on the market. 1t peels a bushel of
potatoes in four minutes, taking off
just the skin, which, when dried does
not make a good handful.
The ordinary way of peeling such
as is practiced in all households, de-
stroys much of the best part of the
potato. The machine eliminates all
this. You can put in a bushel of po-
tatoes into the machine with all the
dirt usually clinging to a potato, and
in four minutes the bushel is turned
out, white and clean.
There is no doubt that the machine
will be in great demand, for it will
be wanted in the army at all camps
on the ships and everywhere there
is crowd to feed daily, which means
hotels, restaurants, etc.
For real food conservation this ma
chine will prove a great factor. 1t
is bound to come into use and very
extensively, too.

TWO CARLOAD RAG FIRE

An old barn on Washington street
to the rear of the Wausau Shoe Re-
pairing shop, was destroyed by fire
early this morning. Nothing was
saved, as the fire had too good a start
before the fire department could get
to it. The building was filled with
about two car loads of old rags, rub
bers, rubber tires and other things,
which would be easily infiammable.
Abe Natarus and M. P. Towle were
partners in the enterprise. The ma
terials had been stored in this particu-
lar place for about five months and it
would not have taken much to have
started confiagration. 1t is not
known how the fire started. No facts
have as yet been revealed. 1t might
have been started by spontaneous
combustion, but that seems improb-
able. The loss, amounting to over
$500, was fully covered by insurance.

IOLSTEIN cows FOR MARATHON
COUNTY FARMERS

A. G. Burg spent last week in the
southern part of the state buying
car load of Holstein cows and
calves for number of our farmers,
who are in that way increasing their
dairy herds with better animals. The
car arrived Saturday morning.
This is the first attempt where dairy
cows in car load lots have been
shipped in for our dairymen. The
demand for good dairy cows has been
so strong, because of the profitable
ness of the dairy business, farmers
are willing to have good COWS shipped
even if they must pay good prices for
them.
This shipment will add to the quail
ity of the fine start our county has
in good Holstein cattle, as some of
these aEimAls were pwe b1ed, and
these will 90 to the Marathon farms

MARATHON COUNTY TRAINING
SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY.
AUGUST 9th

Recent legislation provides for new
requirements for teachers of rura1
schools. Chapter 269, Section
45OE requires, after September first
1919, that every person granted a GER
tificate to teach in any public school
mast have had at least a two wear
course of study in high school or
the equivalent, and in addition shall
have had at least one year of profess
sional training in the work of teach
ing. This makes it necessary for all
county training schools after this wear
to establish a three year course in
place of the present two year course
The large attendance last year and
the addition CT few new subjects
to the course have made it necessary
to employ another faculty member.
Mr.. Harold S. Dyer of Platteyille.
Wis, has been engaged. Mr.. DYER
will have charge of the music and as
sist in the science and English work.
1t should be of interest to high
school graduates of Marathon county
to know that the board of normal re-
gents has adopted the following reg
ulations: High school graduates. who
are training school graduates, are all
lowed enough credits to finish the adj
vanced two year course in one year
and a summer session or in one, years
time. This will lessen the expense
and give the young pupil an oppor-
tunity of teaching q year or so, be-
fore completing the normal course
And, too, this teaching experience en-
ables them to secure better paying DO
sitions. The young person, who
chooses or is obliged to finance his
education, can do so by teaching q
year or two and then attending nor.
NAL later. Several of the graduates
of 1916 and II are planning so tt
do. We are at your service. Come
| and see us or write to us.

OLD AGE INCOME

1 quote, without comment the following letter
written by woman:
81 am much interested in what you write about
providing for old age. 1t is such an important
thing!
81 am getting past middle life. My husband
is dead. have three daughters. married. One of
my sons is married. The other still lives with me-
They all love me.
as each of my children left me to get married
I heard this promise, Mother I am going to see
that you have comfortable home My son who
is still with says he will never leave me so long
as 1 live.
well, not Of my four married children has
done anything for me, for when they left me they
became at once involved in the problem of main
tanning their homes. Children have come into
their homes and l have been called in to help in
their care.
Il know that when the son who is with me
reaches point where his earnings warrant it some
girl will marry him. 1t is the law of life l shan't
be able to prevent tin fact, shan't pre-
vent it. But what of me then?
Il have earned a great deal of money because I
have had to. 1 shant be able to go on earning it
much longer. When that time comes, 1 shall. have
to become sort of charity visitor in the homes of
my children. Afterwards 1 shall become physically
helpless burden in fact
When that time 1 am going to suffer
more than physical illness. The humiliation of my
position in these homes is going to be real!
My children would ne just as happy just as well
provided for, would love quite as much had l
withheld enough of my earnings as I went along
to insure my independence TO the end.
The trouble is that 1 did not realize it soon
enough 1t is knowledge that ought to come early in
life"

TRAINING CAMP MEN VOLUNTEER
TO FORM HOME GUARD COM
PANY AS STATE REQUESTS

Now that the state miIitiamen have
been called into the active service of
the federal government, it is neces-
sary that new companies be formed
in towns and cities throughout the
state for home guard purposes. Gov
ernor Philip, together with Adj. Gen.
Orlando Holway, has authorized this.
and an immediate effort will be made
to form home guard organizations
throughout the state.
Signatures of Wausau men will soon
be sent in to headquarters at Madison.
Almost enough signatures to per-
NIT the organization of such a com
pany were secured last Sunday morn
ing when the members of the Citi-
zens' Training camp, while drilling
at the Country club, were informed of
this authorization. Most of the mem
bers of the camp who were present
that morning signed the paper.
The new Home Guards are not sub
state, except as all men are subject to
call by the federal government. The
companies are formed with the ex-
press purpose of doing guard work in
their own counties if that is neces-
sary at any time. If any dangerous
circumstances develop without their
county and in the state, they may be
called upon to help. There is, how
ever, but a remote possibility that
this would be necessary. Both Gen.
Holway and the governor made it as
sured that this will not be done un-
| less it is imperative.
Wausau's new home guard company
will be formed mainly of those who
are now members of the training
camp. If the papers for organizing
are returned Immediately from Madi-
son, this city will be one of the first
to have its new militia company un-
der the recent arrangements. Nc
physical examination will be required
of those joining.
| Before sending in the papers fol
organizing to Madison, Thomas H
| Ryan has found it necessary first tc
have election officers. A special meet
ing of the Citizens Training camp will
be called at an early date to deter.
mine whether a new company shall
be formed or if the old company is tC

Their Appetites Were Poor.

1t was the boast of certain famous
gourmand about New York that he
counted a f1ll-sized tenderloiD steak
surrounded by half-dozen 'amb chops
merely as the foundation of a fair
meal. Another celebrated bon vivant
and host, taking his preprandial cock
tails, invited his guest of honor to men
ton his preference in the way of an
appetizer. The guest, food worship
er and running true to form, allowed
as how three dozen cherry-stone CLANS
might start him off right. And the
hideous part of it is none OF the party
regarded the order as in any way un-

win Act SLOWLY ON Exemptions

Renewed emphasis was laid by Pro-
vost Marshal Crowder on Saturday
upon the fact that congress framed
the army draft law in the interest of
the nation, not the individual. For
hat reason the lines are being drawn
tight in the matter of exemptions.
The government has acted slowly in
bringing home to the people the rigid
character of the draft act. There has
been much discussion of the exemp-
ton problem, based on an erroneous
view of the laws purpose, which as
sumed that married men, for instance,
would be exempted without question
and that the burden of military du.y
was to be carried fully by the single
men.
Gen. Crowder has taken the position
in recent rulings that married men
will be exempted only when it is to
the interest Of the government. If
the removal of the drafted man from
his family circle probably would re-
suit in the family becoming a public
burden, it is to the interest of the
government to exempt him.
District boards have been instruct
ed to make the governments action
their guide in dealing with claims for
exemption, for man he considers in
dispensable must show that his indus
try Is necessary to the public interest
or to the maintenance of the military
establishment, and supplement this
showing with affidavits stating that
the particular individual is indispen-
sable to the industry. Circumstances
of employment must be stated and
reasons given as to why it would be
impossible to replace the registered
with another not of military age, or
with woman.
The government is in a strong po-
sition in regard to discharges granted
by the local election boards because
of dependents, as an appeal has been
recorded automatically in each case
aud it will be possible to reopen it be-
fore the district board and make sure
that no evasion of duty has been per-
mitted.

Millions are Slain in Three Tears OF
Warfare.

From a careful study of what has
been made public regarding casualties
in three years of war, it appears that
about 100000 combatants have lost
their lives and about 100000 have
been killed, captured, reported miss
ing or so badly wounded that they
cannot return to the front. This takes
no account of the millions of slightly
wounded men.
AS time goes on the difficulty of es-
timating the casualties increases.
Only Great Britain and Germany give
out official lists.
The estimates given in this article
are conservative. The exact facts
await the end of the war to be told
Even army staff statements are enor-
mously conflicting.
In addition to the troops losses the
war has also caused the death of prob
ably millions of civilians
The table below gives the losses Of
all the fighting nations in killed anG
in men put out of the struggle by
death, wounds, sickness or capture:
