USE ARMS TO RESIST DRAFT
Wisconsin Men Are Held After An
Attack on Officers-Gun Used
BY Former Biuejacket.

Manitowoc - Nicholas Voss and
Emil Helm, the first citizen of Wis
consin to resist the army draft with
force of arms, were taken to Green
Bay to be arraigned before United
States court commissioner.
Voss is charged with attempted
murder and armed resistance of the
CONSUMPTION law Helm is charged
with aiding and abetting Voss in the
alleged commission of the crimes
stated.
Voss is a graduate of the United
States navy, from which he secured
an honorable discharge in December.
1913.
Helm is the son of Lutheran min
lister who heads a congregation at
Ada
Both have lived recently in strong
ly pro-German settlements and, ac-
cording to officials connected with the
arrests, have been indulging in dis
loyal talk against the draft, against
the war and against the allies of the
United States. Voss is credited with
having said a few days ago that he
would like to see any blank blank
federal officer place him where he
would be compelled to fight against
Germany"
The case has many features that
indicate what the poison of pro-
German propaganda is doing, and what
it is likely to result in unless curbed.
Contempt for the law Of the land and
the government were brutally paraded
and backed up by an assault.
Both of the accused are German.
Helms, who supplied the weapon used
in the assault, is farm hand.

JOIN OVERSEAS DIVISION
Three Companies of Second Wisconsin
Infantry Leave Camp Douglas
for "SomeWhere."

Camp Douglas - "Goodby and good
luck rang through camp when Com
panies E, F and G, the Second Wis
ccnsin infantry units now known as
the 150th machine gun battalion, left
for Somewhere" These companies
will join the overseas division in what
may be a brief period of intensive
training in the east and an early trip
to France.
All day Camp Douglas was on keen
edge, and the farewell setting was i'm
pressive. The soldiers marched
through a great avenue of olive drab,
nearly 10000 me nhaving been
brought into line for thrilling send
off.
Bands played, hats were thrown into
the air, and the old Wisconsin yell
turned into a mighty roar as the boys
boarded their trains. "See you in
France" was the favorite parting.
The bravest soldiers in the surgiSg
crowd of khaki were the mothers who
came to say goodby.
Guardsmen who left and those who
remained behind realized that this was
a very genuine war farewell. Their
next meeting will be in "No Mans
land" Here and there a serious face
peered over khaki uniform, but for
the most part the soldiers were gay,
glad to be on their way for the in
evitable meeting with Hans and Fritz.
Cardinal pennants and American
flags fiuttered from many car win
dows. Bands were playing ION Wis
consin" when the troop trains disap-
peared around the bend. The men
travelled in tourist cars, with colored
porters clad in snow white suits to
look after their wants.
Both trains were generously provi-
stoned and carried enough Camp Doug
las water for the trip. From now on
there will be a steady departure of
troops. 1t is understood the two bri-
gade headquarters will be the next to
leave.

BADGERS PLEASED
WITH WACO CAMP
GEN. BoARDMAN WRITES THAT
GUARD cANToNMENT IN
SOUTH is IDEAL.
MEN ON GROUNDS SATISFIED
Everything Ready to Move Soldiers
But Date of Departure Is Un-
certain-Gen. Parker Awaits
Arrival of Troops.

Camp Douglas - Gen. Charles R.
Boardman has written Maj. Charles
Green that the Waco cantonment,
where Wisconsin and Michigan troops
will train, is an ideal camp. Gen.
Boardman writes also that Maj. Gen.
James Parker, commander of the Oh
vision. is eager for the arrival OF the
Badger state troops so that they can
be organized and get down to real
work.
The camp is on level and fairly high
ground, he says. Buildings are de-
scribed as large and well ventilated,
telephone facilities excellent and
street car service convenient. The big
cantonment is electric lighted and is
modern in every way.
The weather will continue pleas
ant, with the evenings cool, for an
other six weeks, he understands. but
after that the weather will be uncer-
tain.
In his letter Gen. Boardman gives
Mai. Green a pen sketch of the camp.
Mail from the soldiers in Waco to the
guardsmen here speak enthusiastically
of the new quarters in the south and
OF the hospitality of Texas people. The
men write that they were received IN
a most friendly way and that Waco is
entertaining them royalty.
While everything is done to make
life pleasant here, the soldiers are
anxious to be on The move. They re-
alize, however, that training in Waco
will be more strenuous than it has
been in Wisconsin. There will be add
ed hours of work, but the soldiers
are keen to tackle the job because
they know the program will include
lessons in modern warfare. Little adj
vanced warfare has been taken up
here, and the soldiers feel they know
all there is TO know concerning the
first lessons in soldering. They want
to try their hand at something big
ger.
So far as troop movements are con-
cerned Camp Douglas is at a stand
still. The camp resembles house
hold all packed up and waiting for the
moving van, but the van does not seem
to come. 1t is believed, however, that
the first week in September will mark
the departure of some units and 9TH
ers will follow in few days.

dit, and others, and at which resolu-
tons were adopted protesting against
the peace conference.
Previous to the massmeetlng the
city council held special meeting
and adopted a resolution forbidding
the peace council to hold any meet
ings or convention in the city.
Any attempt by the Peoples Coun-
Gil Of America for Democracy to hold
it's projected convention in Milwaukee
or am other city in Wisconsin was
given it's quietus when Gov. Phlllpp
sent telegram to Sheriff McManus
requesting him to notify any persons
who are planning to arrange for the
meeting that lie did not wish it to take
place in this state.
The governors message to the sher-
if follows:
81 understand that an effort will be
made to hold a meeting of the Peace
Council in Milwaukee. This meeting

the peace and good order of the city,
and / ask you therefore to notify the
party, which / understand will arrive
by train, that do not wish the meet
ing to take place. Call me by tele-
phone for instructions.
Gov. Philips instructions to Sheriff
McManuss came after day during
which the states executive had close
ly followed the actions of the peace
council leaders in their attempts to

BAREFOOT FRIARS'
 CHURCH REOPENS

Correspondence Associated Press)
 Venice, Aug. 2O.-The famous church of, the Barefoot Friars once more has been opened for wor- ship. Its magnificent Tiepolo ceiling, representing the transportation of the Holy House of Loreto, was destroyed in October, 1915, by Austrian bombs. The artistic treasure was reduced to such heap of debris that the task of saving anything from the wreck seem ed absolutely hopeless. -
 Out of the thousands and thousands of minute pieces with patience a por- tion has been reconstructed, giving an idea of some of the figures and of the beautiful coloring of the fresco, and this, enclosed in a frame, will be pre- served in the church, while those fragments which were so small as to be unrecognizable were presented to the Italian Red Cross which has al- ready realized quite large sum by selling them as mementoes.
