TO FINE DRAFT VIOLATORS
Provost Marshal General CroWder Is
sues Statement to Registra-
ton Officials.

Washington, May Ito dispose of
fear that county and city registration
boards will exercise favoritfsm in en-
rolling soldiers under the eselective
draft act, Provost Marshal General
Crowder issued a statement on Thurs
day declaring such practices would be
virtually impossible because of the ex-
plicit terms in which the act is drawn.
He warned registration officials that
favoritism easily could be detected
and would be punished.
every man within the age limits
fixed by the selective service act must
register, and the penalty of the law
for evasion of registration will fall not
only on the man who fails to appear
but on any member of registration
board who may be shown to be in COL
fusion with the person who attempts
to escape his duty.
'"The law provides the penalty OF
Imprisonment, with not alternative of a
fine, for any official or any registered
man who shall make a false return or
connive at such practice"

WILL REVISE TIME TABLE
Train Schedule in Wisconsin to Be
Changed Due to Demand for
Transportation Of Troops.

Madison-The railroad map of Wis
consin will be changed by the war,
due to the demands of the federal gov
eminent for the transportation of
troops. New schedules will mean
fewer trains, will be worked out by the
state council of defense on the basis
of schedules to be suggested by the
men in Washington, who are operating
the RAILROADS for the national govern
ment.
P. C. Eldridge of the Chicago. Mil
waukee and ST. Paul road, who is a
member of the state council of defense,
says it is highly important for the peo-
pie to realize the position of the rail-
road, in this great war emergency.
The companies, he says, have entered
into an agreement to merge the COM
petitive activities and coordinate their
operations in a continental railway
system, in order to produce the maxi
mum of national transportation eff
cheney during the war.
From practical standpoint, passen-
ger service will not be crippled, but
there will be fewer trains, and the peo-
pie of Wisconsin will be expected to
adjust themselves to conditions forced
by the movement of troops to points
of mobilization.
The plan, as it has been brought to
the attention of the council of defense,
is to discontinue zone hour service" in
some instances, and in others TO ma
terially reduce the number of trains,
so that the equipment required by the
federal government for the handling
of troops will be available as it is
needed.

MANY DEERFOUND IN SWAMP
Conservation Warden investigates
Complaint That Animals
Harm Crops.

Sheboygan - Conservation Warden
V. c. Buell., who recently was called
to the vicinity of Kiel and New Hol-
stein by complaint of ManitOwoc and
Sheboygan county farmers that deer
were running their crops, reports that
not less than 200 deer are ranging in
the vast eXpanse of swamp land which
runs for a distance of fifteen miles
west from the shores of Lake Michi-
gan between the counties of Sheboy-
gan and Manitowoc.
He discovered in his Investigations
that the deer jump fences to get at
the farmers wheat fields, and already
have caused many hundred dollars
damage.
Farmers desired the privilege of
shooting the animals, but this was de-
nied by the conservation commission,
which has instructed the farmers to
keep the deer off as best they can, and
promised that next fall, after the crop
is harvested, the commission will re-
imburse them for any losses which
they may have sustained.

MILITIA ORDERED
TO WAR STRENGTH
SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER
WIRES GOVERNOR TO ADD
5000 MEN TO FORCE.
TO TRAIN AT CAMP DOUGLAS
Wisconsin Guard VIII Have Enlist
ment of 10000 Men Within Few
Weeks-State Will Furnish
Supplies.

Madison-In the receipt of tele-
gram by Adpt-Gen. Holway the re-
quest of Gov. E. L. Philip for author
ity to recruit the Wisconsin National
Guard to war strength has been
granted.
The adjutant general immediately
sent orders to company commanders
all over the state and expects to have
1890 men ready for training within
ten days or two weeks.
The peace strength of the guard, TO-
400, has already been exceeded by vol
unteer enlistments, the extra men hav-
ing been placed on available waiting
lists. 1t is estimated that it will re-
quire the addition of about 5000 re.
cruits to bring the state guard up to
war strength.
The order is used by the war depart
ment upon the condition that the state
furnish supplies, including uniforms,
but the National department will pro-
vide arms. Gen. Holway said that he
will be able to furnish uniforms and
other camp equipment.
Dy d. TcCcuL OIu0F lu0 WlSCOuSlu
guard has been placed in new divi-
sion, the eleventh, with the troops
from Michigan.
The troops from the Wolverine state
probably will train at their own sta
ton, but it is practically certain that
If the president calls the 16,500 Wis
consin guardsmen into service they
will be stationed at Camp Douglas.
The adjutant general, proceeding upon
this assumption, has started the extern
sion of the side track and has made
plans to erect temporary buildings to
accommodate the troops during the win
ter.
1t is estimated that If the draft for
100000 men comes Wisconsin will be
required to furnish about 5000 men in
addition to the National Guard.

Many Treat Seed Potatoes.

Barrou-Commercial potato growers
seed potatoes with corrosive sublimate
solution, and it is thought that more
precaution is being taken this year
than ever before in guarding the coun-
TVS tuber crop against such diseases
as scab and black scurf. Many farm
ers throughout the potato sections of
the north especially are disinfecting
their seed stock in the proper manner.
Officials of the State Agricultural col
lege at work here are advocating the
use of corrosive sublimate this year
in place of formaldehyde because of
the prevalence of black scurf, which
cannot be controlled by the latter.
