RECRUITING MEN FOR THE ARMY

The State Council of Defense urges
Marathon county to assist in a
most vigorous manner during the
intensive campaign from now until
July 1st for securing our county's reg
ular army quota. The form below
shows where some of the counties
stand in the list.
When county has secured its quota
for the army, any further voluntary
enlistments will be deducted from its
draft quota. This gives our county an
opportunity to fail in line with several
counties that are determined that
their full quota for the war will be
made up entirely of volunteers. Sin
gle men between Is and 40 are ac-
copied by the regular army. If
family has two or more men of mill
tary age and one volunteers, this fact
will be considered in exempting the
others from service. This gives a man
a chance to relieve his older or young
er brother from the burden of military
service.
Enlistment For Period of War Only
You enlist for this war only. The
regular army of the United States
needs 10000 men in order that it may
be brought up to war strength. 1t
is important that these men be se7>
cured now. Men who volunteer now
may choose the branch of service they
desire except coast artillery and Cav
airy.
man who joins now will receive
intensive training and will be in
position for advancement when the
new draft army is formed.
Registration is no Bar to Enlistment
Even though you have registered
you may Immediately enlist in the
regular army. Automobiles should
carry the slogan Volunteer before
July 1st"
All postmasters have authority to
furnish free of charge transportation
to the nearest recruiting officer for
all men who wish to enlist. Make
this campaign a success and give our
county and the state of Wisconsin
a clean slate in war duty done.

GIVES ALL TO HIS COUNTRY
The Story of Richard Prokop, Real
American, Now on His Way
to France.

Madison, Wis.-The story of Rich

Private Prokep-he is on his way
to the front as member of the az
tillery branch of the regular army
and soon may be Somewhere In
France-may never know or. believe
that he is anything more than patri-

will receive the credit that is their
due. Private Prokop probably will be
forgotten then So let his story be
told now.
This young mamie is only 22-did
not know much about America when
he left Bohemia four years ago. He
had been told that it was land OF
opportunity and he came.
He worked at farm work four years,
and the other day he registered for
service. Then he enlisted in the reg.
ular army for the war.
He had saved $3.50. and it was in g
bank drawing four per cent interest
He drew it out and bought $500 worth
of Liberty Bonds, which pay 31h per
cent interest, but 100 per cent in sat
isfaction that the owner is doing
something for his country.
Private Prokop may give his life
for his country, which he has learned
to know in four short years as the
greatest country on earth. When he
went away he said he was glad to
have that opportunity.
He has given his savings to Uncle
Sam besides.
When he left for the front every
man In the Office of the State Council
stood at attention until he had passed
through the door.

Madison, W1S.-AlthOugh the State
Council Of Defense was created be-
cause of the war and goes out of ex-
istsnce when that crisis which is fac
ing the nation is over, the work 1t is
doing will have an unestimable eco
nomic value to the state.
If the plans of the council are car
ried out,> and with the cooperation
which is being given freely by the
people there is no doubt Of it, Wis
consin will gain over night because
OF the necessity for economic advance
ment what she could not have gained
In the ordinary process in years.
All Citizens Must Aid.
No matter how progressive state
may be-and Wisconsin has borne a
reputation of being a progressive
state-material growth comes slowly
Half the people, or perhaps less thar
half, are striving always to do more
today than they did yesterday, and
with still greater hopes for tomorrow.
The others, no matter how much they
appreciate lllS ISSOiISS c1AC apt ~ az
cept conditions as they are.
The WORK of the state council of de-
Tense along economic lines will be
undertaken now because the nation
needs food, and the state must do its
share. The fact that bread is as nee
essary as bullets to win war will
be better realized if the conflict is OF
long duration.
If Wisconsin increases its acreage
so that it can not only feed its own
citizens at reasonable prices but also
send food to the east and across the
water, it will he doing a service as
valuable in its way as the sending of
soldiers to fight in the trenches.
To bring this about the state coun-
Gil is appealing to the producers &c
grow more and is trying TO enlist
more volunteers in the army of produ
GERS. The reports TO the state de
partment of agriculture have been
promising. More potatoes, more
beans and more acres of nearly every
thing grown in the ground already i
assured for 1917. The planting sea
son being nearly over, the next prof.
lem will be the harvest. With thou
sands of men out of the state, labor
also is a problem.
1918 Problem Is Next.
The state council has department.
devoted 10 all these phases of the sit
uation.
When the crops of 1917 are harvest
ed, then comes the work for 1918. Il
is with this problem that the state
council will work during the winter
months.
So much for the present. After the
war, when Wisconsin goes back TO the
business of producing its own needs
and once more enters into competition
with other states for the markets OF
the nation and OF the world, the state
which is the best prepared viii lead

KA|SER'S PEACE BID
 |0 TIMED FUR XMAS
PRESUMABLY WAR LORD HOPES TO TIME IT WITH A GERMAN
 OFFENSIVE OF WEST FRONT.
BRITISH KEENLY AROUSED
Alert To Enemy's Added Strength To Men and Muntions-Hinden5urg To Take Initiative Lost By
 General Hai9.

London.-Germany's expected bid for peace, long forecast, is to come in the form of a Christmas message by the kaiser to his people, according to reports which reached here.
 Presumably the war lord hopes to 1 time it with a German offensive on the west front already confidently an- nounced by the German press.
 The fact that the kaiser himself is expected to make the proffer was re- garded here as another evidence of the determination with which Germany is conducting peace offensive now when her military strength is at it's top notch and before the arrival of American troops on the line spells the beginning of the end for his autocracy. The kaiser does not propose to trust | Chancellor yon Hertling with the pro- nuncamento.
 London was not concerned with peace proffers. Premier Lloyd Georges ringing speech, coupled with Presi- dent Wilson's recent address to Con- gress, has aroused British public opin- ion 10 reconsecration of it's aim for a peace only to be won by allied victory.
 Germany's manuovering for peace has been patent to British observers for weeks. The military offensive which is 10 accompany the peace of fensive was, however, mainly in Eng lands mind.
 Public officials are under no deiu- sion as to the strength of this expect ed blow. Russias downfall gives the enemy a great number of veteran troops. Great numbers of guns taken in the Austro-Gefman drive in Italy give the enemy powerful artillery sup port
 It has been borne home to British officials that sdespread stories of the breaking down of German morale, of lack of adequate reserves, or scarcity of metal curtailing artillery and ammu. milton must now be swept aside and that the nation will need its most de- termined efforts against the foe. Hin deHburg has now gained the initiative. Haig has lost it
 Many London newspapers are now vigorously urging the abandonment of the British campaign in Mesopatamia. Palestine and South Africa and the concentration Of the large forces of British troops now in those far distant theaters of war on the western front.
