DECIDED IN WAUSAU TELEPHONE
..- COMPANY'S FAVOR

For some time there has been a diff
ference of opinion between the city of
Wausau and the Wausau Telephone
company, as to the use of the conduits
belonging to the latter. The city
when it granted the use of the streets
to the telephone company, made a
provision that the city was to be
allowed the use of its poles and for
certain of its electric wires, in return
for the privilege granted. This was
complied with by the company. Later
the city required that all wires with
IN prescribed limit be placed under
ground and stipulated that the city
should have the use of such cOnduits
as were needed. The company. willing
to assist the city in its service, felt
that it should be recompensed for
whatever the city used. 1t was agreed
to submit the matter to the railway
commission without argument, which
was done, by F. P. Regner for the city
and G. d. Jones, counsel for the tele-
phone company. The commission
ruled that the city must pay, inasmuch
as the state gives permission to the tel
ephone and electric power companies
to use streets, alleys and bridges for
their lines.

aH0OVERIZE. FOR HEALTH

Personal interest, as well as patri-
otism, dictates a hearty response to
Mr.. Hoover's program of partial fast
days. AS has been frequently urged
in this column, most Americans have,
in the past, been eating too much. 1t
VIII not hurt us a bit, therefore, as
a part of our contribution to nation
al defense, to endure a trif1ing priva-
ton or to develop taste for perfectly
good articles of food which have not
been popularized, hitherto.
There is something about the Hoov-
er idea and the manner in which the
people are responding to it that sug-
gests a spirit of what might almost
be called religious conservation. This
in turn suggests the part that fasting
has played in practically all of the
old religion. There is very good rea-
son for believing that, as religious
rite, it has had as great health and
political significance as religious.
In the early days of civilization,
the priests, as the best educated per-
sons in their respective communities,
were the physicians and health
officers as we'll as religious leaders.
This being so, what could have been
more natural or commendable than
that they should have given to some
of their health rules, the force of
sacred religious exercises and disci-
pine?
1t may be true, also that in their
function as statesmen their regula-
tons were inspired in part as food
measures similar to our
present one. Certainly one cannot read
the Old Testament without being i'm
pressed that famines were frequent
enough to cause grave concern to
the public leaders and teachers.
Nothing is detracted from the force
of fasting either as a religious or
patriotic exercise by the knowledge
that it is a health exercise as well.
Possibly, it will be shown some day
that the general participation in
wheatless and meatless days has con-
tributed something toward cutting
down the prevalence of kidney and
heart diseases which have apparently
been very much on the increase for
the past few years. If so, this would
be some payment for the direct suf-
fering and loss of life war is re-
spOnsible for.
Next Sunday the First Universalist
church will have rally day. 1t is ex-
pected to be the biggest and best rally
ever held by this church.

BENNETT A. M0LLER

Bennett A. Molter, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. N. p. Molter of this city, who is
a member of the Lafayette squadron
in France and Belgium, and who has
been expected home for several days,
arrived in Wausau Wednesday of last
week. Mr.. Molter is in the United
States on three weeks furlough and
visited his home town only two days,
departing for Minneapolis Thursday,
and from there reports at Washington,
D. c.
Mr.. Molter has had some wonderful
and thrilling experiences since he
Joined the above named aviation
squadron. He has been in several
aerial agements with the Germans,
his greatest when his motor gave out
at height of 10000 feet, an account
of which the Pilot published some lit
tie time ago, and to think that he
lived to tell the tale and apparently
as well and frisky as ever, is as
founding. He certainly knew how to
handle his flyer and save himself from
death or serious injury in the latter
instance.
Mr.. Molter has made many success
full flights over Germany, on recon
noitering and other dangerous and
successful trips, now and then engag-
ing the enemy flyers, but he always
seemed to bear a charmed life.
During his short stay here he visit
ed the High school and spoke to the
students, describing his experiences
in the aviation fields, his actual ser
vice, hair-breadth escapes and of 9TH
er interesting Information.
Mr.. Molter met many good friends
and new acquaintance while here, all
of whom were highly impressed with
his daring aviation feats and wished
him every success and a safe and
speedy return home to his parents,
other relatives and hosts of friends
when this cruel war is over.
The following in reference to Mr..
Molter, was found in the Chicago
Tribune of a week ago and is herewith
transferred to our columns:
Bennett A. Molter, a former Lake
View High school student, brought
back to Chicago yesterday word of
some of the Chicago youths who are
flying in France. He is the only
American fiier in escadrille No. 1O2 of
the French aviation corps, but has
seen many Of the American aviators
at the front
MOlter is on leave of twenty-one
days, after spending nearly a year
and a half in the escadrille. An acct
dent i'll July was responsible for the
leave. He was returning home far
behind rhe German lines, flying at 100
miles an hour at an altitude of 10000
feet, when he noticed a German plane
over him.
Our escadrilIe is used solely for re-
connaissance, and we go back of the
German lines long distances at times.
We drive single seat planes and pro-
tect the machine taking observations
and photographs. Our escadrille has
a record Of twenty-eight German
planes, with a loss to us of only three
pilots
Molter will spend several days in
Chicago before returning to the east.
He visited with H. o. Reno, father
of the flyer who was reported lost,
but who was found later when he
endeavored to cash a check. He had
spent several days in a hospital.
. 1t is possible that Molter may be
transferred to the American aviation
corps to assist in training aviators for
the American army"
