SENATE VOTES To
HOLD STATE FAIR
UPPER HOUSE INDICATES ~
WILL NOT FAVOR suS9EN-
SION DURING WAR.
nay AMEND MENT is KILLED
Senator Urges Conserving All Of
States Resources During Pres.
ent Crisis - Appropriation for
Unpaid Bills.

Madison There will be no abandon
ment of the state fair at Milwaukee
during war times The amendment
proposed by Senator William Bray to
the state fair appropriation bill for the
suspension OF the state fair during the
war was rejected by the senate by a
vote of IS to 7.
The debate over the bill consisted
of a speech by Senator Bray in which
he detailed the necessity OF conserv-
ing all of the states resources during
the war
The amendment was opposed by
Senators Hanson and Everett. Sena-
tor Hanson said that il had been a
policy of France and England at the
beginning of the war to suspend ac-
tivities of this character and that it
had been found necessary to restore
them for the benefit of the people
After the rejection of the Bray
amendment. the bill was ordered en-
crossed by a viva voce vote. This bill
carries an appropriation of $I25.000
annually for the benefit of the fair.
An appropriation of $500 is made for
the building of fences and also an ap-
preparation for the payment OF unpaid
bills remaining from the last fair.

WAR AIMS Of u. S.
GERMANY MUST UNDO WRONGS
1T INFLICTED, ASSERTS PREsi-
DENT IN NOTE TO RUSSIA.
KAISER PLOTS FOX PEACE
Demands Change in Pre-War Status
Quo to Conform With Human
Rights - Opposes lndemnIties
Except as Reparation.

Washington, June 12.-President
Wilson in Il communication TO the new
government of Russia has made plain
the war aims of the United States and
its position ON mo annexatiOns, no
indemnlties" The principal terms on
which the United States insist are;
mo territory must change hands ex-
cept for the purpose OF securing those
who inhabit ii fair chance of life and
liberty.
mo indemnitles must be insisted on
except those that constitute payment
for manifest wrong done.
mo readJustments of power must
be made except such as will tend t.
secure the further peace OF the world
and the future welfare and happiness
of its people"
The presidents communication was
delivered to the Russian government
at Petrograd. 1t is In part as follows:
"'rhe ruling classes In Germany have
begun of late to profess hberal-
ity and justice of purpose, but only to
preserve the power they have set up In
Germany and the selfish advantages
which they have wrongly gained for
themselves and their private projects
of power all the way from Berlin 10
Bagdad and beyond.
Government after government has,
by their influence. without open con
quest of its territory, been linked to-
ppther in a net of intrigue directed
against nothing less than the peace and
liberality of the world. The meshes OF
that intrigue must be broken.
''The day has come to conquer or
submit If the forces of autocracy can
divide us they will overcome us: IL
we stand together victory Is certain.
and the liberty which victory will Sc
cure. We can afford then to be gen
erous. but we cannot afford then or
now to be weak or omit any single
guarantee of justice and security"

CITIES OYER 3O. .ONN
WILCOX ARMORY BILL PASSED
Senate OVerrides Governor Philipp's
Veto by II to 5 Vote-Meas.
ure Goes to Assembly.

Madison The senate has passed
the Wilcox armory bill over the veto
of Gov E, L. Philip. the first act of
this kind on the records of this legis-
lature.
The vote was II to 5. it requiring
two-thirds vote of the members
present
This is the bill which has been re-
ferred to during the session as a pork
barrel proposition" by its opponents
but the measure had the support of d
large majority in both houses. II now
goes to the assembly, where an effort
will be made by those who favor it TO
pass it.
While the vote was decisive had the
senate attendance been large it is
probable the move to pass the bill
over the governors veto would have
failed. Several senators who voted
against the governor admitted after
ward that the bill was bad one, and
that it was only because of pressure
from home on the part of organiza-
tions which desire the state appropria-
tion that they voted as they did.
The senate killed the Camper bill
which would have abolished the sys-
tenn of insuring public buildings in
the state insurance department II L.
apparent, therefore, that this system
will remain for another two years.

gible for conscription, according to es-

age, 666 men are estimated to be
physically unfit, according to the ex-
