LIVELY FIGHT LIKELY TO BE

BOTH SIDES ARE READY
Demand May BE Made for Enforce.
nent of Present Closing Law on
the Statutes-Appointive Power
Also important Question.

Madison-Sunday closing of saloons
is likely to be brought more promi-
nently into the foreground at the spe-
cial session of the legislature than
most people imagine, and may, aside
from the contest over the bill to the
governor power of temporary appoint
ment Of United States senator, be the
most important question before the
session.
There is no question but that both
sides sof the Sunday closing issue are
preparing for the fight over the Ques-
ton The bill which is to come from
the administration will likely give to
municipalities power to decide wheth-
er the saloons shall be closed on Sun
day This bill will be opposed by the
Anti-Saloon league which will take the
stand that there shall be no legislation
on the saloon question. so far as Sun
day closing is concerned at the special
session, but that instead there should
be a demand made for strict enforce
ment of the present Sunday closing
laws on the statutes, which would
mean. in the opinion of the Anti-Sa-
loon league, the closing of every sa-
loon in the state on Sunday.
On the other hand, the Sunday OBJ
servance societies will take occasion
to ask as substitute for the- Sunday
closing bill which will be presented
by the administration, a measure
which will be much more sweeping
than the present Sunday closing laws.
and would close up many lines of bus
mess which are now allowed to run on
Sunday
The Rev. S. p. Todd. who has re-
Gently been appointed the director for
this part of the country of the Lords
Day alliance expects that the Sunday
observance societies will make a fight
for the bill they propose, and that the
measure will be in the form of Sun
day closing bill which will denomi-
nate what are necessities and provide
that all businesses not so denominated
shall be absolutely suspended on Sun
day.

MACKENSEN STRIPS
RUSSIA OF TROOPS FOR
ONSLAUGHT ON ITALY
Ry ED L. KEEN

SUnited Press staff COrrespondent).
LONDON, Oct. 27.-General Macken-
sen has concentrated 100000 of his
troops a bare twenty miles from the
Italian border. holding them in the
hope OF striking. tattering ram
blow.
According to this information. which
reached here today, all these troops
are from the Russia. front. To gather
them Germany has had to strip all
her lines to the north, to retire at
scores of places in order to construct
twisting battle fronts, leaving a bare
skeleton of trench defenders.
ImpeIIed ny Varied Reasons.
Political and military reasons have
both apparently impelled the German
staff OF its effoIts against Italy.
First OF all, Berlin has been impress
ed of late with the alarming loss of
morale in the Austrian army. That
loss was reflected at home, in droop-
ing OF spirits and recurrence OF ma
tion-wide movements for a peace at
any price.
The situation must have been and
may be still far more serious-from
: the German point of yiew-than
heavily censored reports, from Aus
tEia show, have forced the German
high command to the offensive. The
inevitable loss OF men and expendi-
ture OF ammunition required Is a
high price for Germany to pay in
her effort to heaTten her ally again.
Germany is hard up for both men and
ammunition now. Not only was the
Italian offensive seemingly planned TO
revive Austria's military slump, but
there Is every evidence here that the
Germans hope TO deepen Italian politi-
cal differences. Every dispatch from
Rome today emphasized that the drive
was likely to have exactly the opposite
effect
