SNOW STORM HITS
UPPER PENINSULA
SWEEPS STATE ABOVE STRAITS
THREE TO FOUR INCHES
OF SNOW FALL.
WEATHER BREAKS TWO RECORDS
10 Previous Record Of Such Heavy
Snow and Low Temperature
for Early October.

Marquette-When the people OF Mar
quette woke up Monday morning they
found the ground covered with snow.
During the day the mercury dropped
10 81 above.
This unreasonable weather produced
two records here, one in amount OF
snow fall and the other for low tenn
perature for this time OF the year. The
local weather bureau reports that Is
inches of snow fell, the heaviest fan
ever reported here up to and includ-
ing October 8. The nearest approach
to this was October 8, 1891, when 1.2
inches fell.
The nearest approach to the low
temperature registered up to and in
GLIDING October in any year since the
establishment of the weather bureau
here was in October of 1878, when IS
degrees was recorded. The snow
storm which hit Marquette around
midnight swept over the entire upper
peninsula. In some places snow to a
depth of 3.5 to 4 inches was reported.
In Ishpeming, a fall OF 3.8 was re-
ported.

BOXING PART OF
GUARD TRAINING
INSTRUCTIONS LAY STRESS ON
NEED OF KNOWLEDGE IN
FIST FIGHTING.
EFFECTIVE IN CLOSE SCRAP
Use Of Fists Is But One Of Many
Tricks Taught Soldiers In Art
Of Self-Defense.

Waco, Texas-JudgiLg by the
course of instruction being given here
by Capt Allan l.. Briggs, assistant
chief of staff and senior aide de camp
to Gen. w. G. Ham, the American
soldier will help defeat the kaiser by
using his bare fists.
In his lectures to officers OF the 32d
division, Capt. Briggs, who returned
from France recently after extended
observation, lays stress on necessity
OF a knowledge of boxing. The reason
he advances for this is that the German
knows nothing of the use of fists,
hence, instead of ducking a blow, he
shuts his eyes and flinches. This
finch will give the American soldier
a chance to close in, even though dis
armed, and render ineffective the long
bayonet of the Teuton.
One method taught is to throw the
steel helmet in the face of the oppon-
ent and to dash in as the German
fiinches. His arm is quickly broken
and as the loser in a bayonet duel,
dies. The trained boxer would not
finch but would shift his head to one
side and continue business.
The use of their fists is but one of
the many tricks being taught the
guardsmen, each one OF the devices
having two purposes. One, to save
the life of the American, the other to
take that of the opponent. 1t is ex-
planned in the lectures that these
tricks, including stabbing a man with
his own bayonet, breaking his arm
or neck, are made necessary by the
style of fighting used by the enemy.

SAGINAW PLANS FLOOD WALLS
Estimates Place Cost of Big Project
at over Six Millions.

Saginaw-The bureau OF drainage
OF the department of agriculture al
Washington has made its report to the
Saginaw supervisors on a system OF
alienation for the spring floods. which
would also reclaim thousands of acres
in the Saginaw valley. The cost is es
timated at s6,O57 900. which covers a
system of levees within the city OF
concrete walls along both sides of the
river, and enlarging and elevating the
bridges.
A special enabling get for the valley
or a state conservancy act, such as
Dayton got from the Ohio legislature
in 1914 for food relief, are the legis
lative plans proposed.
Sixty-three thousand square miles OF
territory is affected by the floods. The
report estimates 10000 acres would
be reclaimed. Further detailed inves
legations will be made before the final
plans are adopted.

pressing the deepest sympathy for her
loss. she expressed great surprise. Her
son had been drowned when he fell
overheard from an American warship

the department asking that the body
Of her son be returned home for burial.
To this first war-stricken mother the
government explained why IL was I'M
able TO grant her request at that time,
but suggested that she bring the mat

ed among documents forwarded to her
was the speech of tribute of the mayor
of the French town In which her son
had been buried
This mother remarked that she had
never thought of the government as
being able to express sympathy. She
had always thought of 1t as a machine
OF which her sailor son was IA part.
The letters from Washington made II
easier for her. nnd the knowledge that,

signed motor truck for the United

Depend on United States.

Official figures show that cattle In
France at the close Of 1916 had de-
creased II per cent In three years,
sheep 80 per cent. swine 80 per cent.
These figures emphasize the recent
statement of the food administration
that the nations of Europe are rapidly
depicting their supply of live stock and
must more and more depend upon this
country for meat and dairy products
after the war.

POLICE DUTY CURES DIRECTOR
Kitchen Work Day After Day, Banishes
Concientious ScrupIes.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek-Only
one conscientious objector has made
his appearance at Camp Custer thus
far. He was an intelligent young fell
low and stated his objections with
clearness. He did not CAIN any re-
ligious connection, nor did he base
his attitude on spiritual grounds. He
simply said that he did not believe it
right to take human life under any
circumstances, and did not want to
be placed in a position where he
would have TO do it. He hung back
in the drill work and utterly baked
at the rifle.
Instead of arguing with him the cap
tain put him to work peeling potatoes
Morning after morning, he went down
to the cooks kitchen and did mental
mountains of potatoes that were al
ways disappearing as fast as he peeled
them.
His conscience was being fully re-
spected. No one jeered at him; no
one joshed him. Kitchen police" is
part of every company's duty, and
every man takes his turn at it-so
there was no special humiliation in
that, except that he was doing all the
time what soldier does only in his
turn.
After a week at this work his con-
science underwent a change. He asked
permission OF the captain to become
a soldier in the company. In due
course be will probably be permitted
to resume his place II the ranks.
