SHIPbUILDING INDUSTRY ACTIVE.

Many people do not realize what an
institution our shipbuilding plant has
grown to be. The three allied indust-
ries, shipyard, boiler works and ma.
chine shop, employ thousand men
and mostly at high wages. They are
docking the river around the island
up to the 500 line bridge and making
solid ground OF the swamp. Two new
building bershs will then be available.
Because of precautions deemed neces-
sary on account of the war access from
the west is being fenced off and guards
stationed at the two bridges and ferry.
The government boat surveyor is near
ing completion and will soon leave for
tide water. A large steel Norwegian
merchant boat is on the water and two
more and steel trawler for Boston
are being built. The yard is hive OF
industry.
There is belief that before long the
government will take over the ship
yards and conduct operations or at
least indicate the nature OF the work
TO be done.

EAGLES MAY BUY 0RPHEUM.

The local Aerie OF Eagles is negoti.
ating for the purchase Of the Orpheum
theatre and at meeting last week de.
cided to make the purchase II they are
relieved Of condition that the premls-
es must be used as public amusement
place for ten years. II it Is purchased
the place will be rsmodeled into a club
house. The Eagles \ year or two age
bought club house site on Washing
ton street between 9th and 10th streets
but have made no effort to build there.
This will be sold II the Orpheum deal
goes through, II not the building OF q
club house on the Washington street
site will be pushed again. The Eagles
probably has the largest membership
OF any order in the city and 1t has been
collecting building fund for years.
The Orpheum is the old Turner Hall
and its passing will mark the end OF an
amusement place existing since pioneer
days.

VOLUME LVIIl
DUTY DAY.

June 9Th, week from next Tuesday
is Duty Day. A United States law re-
quires all men who are 2l years OF age
and who have not reached their 3lst
birthday to register at the usual voting
place of their locality. There has
been considerable mls-apprehensIon
about it. A person cannot decide for
himself that he is exempt. The blind,
the lame, these with dependents, those
bed-rldden, all must register under
penalty. The sheriff pursuant to law
has named registry board in each
precinct. Those who will not be home
or who through sickness cannot appear
in person should call or send a friend
to get instruction from the county
clerk. The purpose, of course, is TO
make up lists from which half mil
lion men will be selected 10 serve the
country. 1t is estimated that ten mil
lion will be listed. Many will be ex-
empt. From the remaining number
bhC ndil VAL bO NIOoSh " aON
Exemptions are not subject now for
discussion. The point now is to obey
the law and register and to see to
it that no young man of ones acquain-
tance through lack of information lays
himself open to the severe penalty
that will surely follow wilful neglect
to comply.
The County Council of Defense upon
advice of state officers is aiding in the
work and has written al town and
school district officers to lend their as
sistance in seeing that full information
is disseminated.
A years Imprisonment and enforced
registration are the penalty for fail
ure to register. A years Imprisonment
is the penalty for making false state
ments at registration whether about
oneself or another person. Where the
person registering is subject to mill
tary law he will be court-msrtialed.

co. H PREPARING FOR WAR.

Co. H, Second Wisconsin Infantry,
the local National Guard company will
leave for Camp Douglas on June 10th.
The guard will be mustered into the
federal service on July 10Th and pres
ent orders give the boys month of
state service before that. That they
will see service on the "west front" in
Europe this fall seems to be certain.
The company has been recruiting up
to war strength the past two months
and they are all anxious to get into
active service. Original plans were to
proceed to the south as soon as mus
tered into the federal service but it is
now announced that they will be left
at Camp Douglas as long as possible
which promises more pleasant sum
mer than sweltering in the south.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial Day, had an added signifi-
cance this year. Although no Ameri-
can lives have yet been sacrificed as
part of the armed forces of the nation
the signs are that before next Memori-
al Day there will be thousands of new
American graves to be remembered,
most OF them probably in a foreign
land and not identifiable. This thought
was probably in every mind. The u.s.
ual ceremonies were carried out. Col.
w Watrous was the speaker at Evergreen
cemetery in the afternoon and Edward
L. Kelley at Calvary In the morn
ing.
In the afternoon parade as fine as
that of any Memorial Day in the city's
history, foraned at the court house and
proceeded to Evergreen. In line were:
Platoon OF police, school children, Ma
rine band, city officials, carriage with
Mayor Schroeder, Chaplain Keicher,
G. A. r. Commander Schmidt and Or.
ator Watrous; G. A. r. Post in buses,
Boy Scouts, high school cadets, Co. Il,
w. N. G. At the cemetery Rev.
Keicher offered the prayer, and Mrs
Johnsrud read the Gettysburg address.
Before the cemetery was reached a
light rain had started and when Col.
Watrous arose to speak steady drizzle
was falling. 1t was also very cold for
this season. He said that he had TOO
much common sense to attempt to hold
the people or to expose the veterans
more than few minutes. He express
ed delight at the enormous outpouring
Of people under the weather conditions
and said he would testify when neces'
sary to Manitowoc's loyalty. He said
that no one need apologize for Or re-
frain from plain speaking about the
aims of our government in the present
war. We shall come out of it with
more glory than ever crowned nation
for we not only go to war to save our
own freedom but to help establish free
dom throughout the world. We could
not stand idly by when our citizens
were being murdered by the hundreds
by another government. We hate war
as Washington and Lincoln hated 1t
and as Wilson hates it, but we hate
national dishonor more. He spoke
about FIVE minutes in the rain and was
vigorously applauded when he referred
to the President and said that we are
united people behind our government.
The soldier boys fired the regulation
three volleys and the gathering scat
tered.
From the simo Of l.z1'iag the ~9a-t
house until the end at Evergreen was
only from two o'clock to three and the
celebration was inspiring dispite the
handicaps.
Only about dozen veterans were
present. There are now 20 survivors
of the local G. A. r. post which once
had over $50 members. They had their
annual Sunday service last Sunday at
St. James church.
The ceremonies yesterday morning
at Calvary had not rain to contend
with A procession of school children
band, Catholic societies, and national
guardsmen marched from St. Boniface
church to the cemetery. +. l.. Kelley
delivered a stirring, patriotic address
in which he did lot mince words as to
the purposes Of the present war and
our duty therein.
