FRED DRAGER WRITES
Enlisted In Field Artillery
and Is Enjoying Life In
Uncle Sans Regular Army
at indianapolis.

Private Fred Drager, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Drager OF
Eagle River, writes interestingly
of life as he finds it in the regular
army. Fred enlisted in artillery
service at Camp Robinson last
summer. Since then he has been
transferred to Fort Benjamin
Harrison, Indianapolis, Ind. He
says IN part:
II received your letter also

er boy in this battery, but it

and that is to get two people
each more than capable in their
chosen profession. Such a COM
bination is this company.
Miss Flora Prentiss, reader
and accompanist, has proven by
actual tests to be worthy OF
highest comment.
Miss Cecilia Vim, violinist
and pianist, has a natural gift
for violin playing and her worth
on the platform is of wonderful
merit.
Eagle River will hear these two
talented young ladies at the

LICENSE FOR EXPLOSIVE
War Department Will Know
Where All Explosive Go
To In Effort To Keep Tab
On Plotters.

Hereafter all dealers in explo-
sives will have to be licensed and
every pound of explosive sold
will have to be accounted for.
This is an order of the war de-
partment and the licenses will
be issued by the county clerk as
soon as the machinery OF the law
can get out the necessary forms.
The war department in licen-
sing all dealers in explosives and
having a record of each purchase
made, will be able to keep better
track of plotters against the
government and who need ex-
plosives to carry out their arson
and destruction plots.
Since the war started there has
been millions of dollars worth of
property destroyed by enemies
of the government and in most
cases the start of all was ex-
plosives. Hereafter if a dealer
sells even a,pound of dynamite,
the name of the purchaser will
be sent into the War department
and recorded for future refer
ence.

NABBED BY UNCLE SAM
Travelling Agent Must Tell
Federal Agents Where He
Got Story He Circulated.

In these DAYS Of war stress it
behooves one to be mighty sure
of the relia bilitv of his informa-
ton before imparting any tale to
the friendly ear. Citizens of Eagle
River have found that out in the
last few days.
]. T. Collins of Paris, H., a
travelling agent who has been
making this territory for years,
selling brooms, and who invari-
ably wears a red carnat ton, told
local people on his recent visit, OF
a case where some of our Sam
mics in France had to pay exor-
bitant prices for sweaters sent
them by a relative. The story,
like many others emanating
from pro-German sources charg-
ing misuse of Red Cross supplies
didn't ring true and before many
days a secret service man was
following in the wake of Mr..
Collins pieceing up the fragments
of the tale he told.
Saturday United States mar
shall.arrived with subpoenas for
local people to appear at Mad17
son. 1t is understood Mr.. Col
Inns is in custody there and that
federal authorities are seeking
the truth of his statement,
The government is intent on
eradicati the sources from
where the malicious lies spring,
knowing that they are fostered
by pro-Germans as a part Of
an organized propaganda aim
ed to interfere and binder the
progress of this country in its
prosecution of the war.

The statement says:
"A new form of fire peril Is coming
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-02-19

SO thorough Is the work Of tho veter-
mary service that II n patient develops
contagious disease all tho horses in
tho unit from which no came are called
In for disinfection and examination. So
successful is tho work that 81 per cent
of all sick cases and "casualties" are
returned to active service.
IT wo were dealing with human
beings" said the officer commanding,
I'VE could run tho percentage up to the
nineties. But. unfortunately, in deal
ing with tho horses wo have Mt times to
weigh their cases in the scales of
pounds. shillings and pence. In other
words. We have to decide whether 1t
will pay to save the animal Is he too
old to he of much service when he is
cured. or Will the course of treatment
be so long and expensive AS to out
weigh the value of future usefulness?
In striving for war efficiency and the
highest potentiality of horse power all
these things must be considered 1t is
the old. old story again of the survival
of the fittest. There is no other way"
Some idea of the number of American
horses doing their bit" In tho war can
be gained from the fact that 40 per
cent of all admitted to hospital come
from the United States.
