u. S. MERCHANT MARINE
TRIPPLED BY SEIZURES
Fourteen of Ships Capable of Trans
porting 10000 Troops.

The seizure yesterday Of German mer-
chantmen In American ports tripled the
army transport resources of this govern
ment 1t was learned through an investi-
cation by the Department of Commerce.
Fourteen of the ships taken are capable
Of transporting 10000 troops at IA knots.
This is exclusive of the monster Water
land. The entire American merchant ma
rine Is capable Of carrying but 10000
The following statement regarding the
seizures was made by Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo yesterday afternoon:
For the purpose of protecting the ves-
sells from further injury and until a de-
cision can be reached as to their proper
disposition, customs guards have been
placed on board all German merchant
vessels anchored in the ports OF the
United States. The officers and crews
have been taken into custody by the De-
partment of Labor pending a determina-
tion Of their status"
Coincident with the seizure by customs
officials OF German merchantmen in ports
all along the United States coast line
yesterday it was announced that the
crews taken from them will be interned
as enemy aliens" Their Imprisonment
ships are not war vessels.
Many OF these ships are practically use
less, their German officers having
smashed the priceless machinery. The
others will be put under control OF Amer
ican commanders and crews and used to
fill up the gap in American tonnage.

When it was announced recently
that former Dean w. A. Henry of the
Wisconsin Agricultural college had
awarded a prize of $500 to the River
Falls cooperative laundry as the first
institution of it's kind in that state to
complete years successful operation
under the management and support Of
country people, one important point
lacked sufficient emphasis.
That point was the fact that the
Womens clubs of the town and coun-
try started the campaign and fur
nished the inspiration which put the
laundry in operation.
OF course, the Chatfield, Mimi,
creamery-laundry, the first in the
country, supplied the idea. A mem
Der of the Home Culture club of Riv-
er Falls, a farm wOmen's organization,
heard the manager of the Chatfield
laundry describe his institution during
a country life conference at Madison.
Returning home, this woman start
ed the war on the WaShtub, her sisters
join I'D her, and by the help of farm
ers ind business men, the local cream
cry began it's dual life. The money
for The enterprise was raised by sub
scription paper, stock being sold at SO
share.
Work was started in November,
1914, and the first years operation re
suited in slight loss. Nothing daunt-
ed. the River Falls Women's club and
gency sessions, and petitioned the
management to continue, pledged them
their personal support and offered to
solicit new business for the laundry.
The laundry is now permanent as

Cheap CarnivaIs Hit by Council.

The state council of defense has
gone after the cheap carnival.
The following statement by Secre-
tary A. H. Melville has just been sent
to all county councils and the cam
paign is on against immoral shows:
"There is always some criticism Of
travelling shows Of a doubtful charac-
ter, but this year it is especially Wig
Orous. In view of the state and ma
tional campaigns for economy, it is
absurd to encourage these Wasteful Or
CARNATIONS merely for the sake Of the
amusement which they furnish.
"Healthful amusement and whole
some entertainment If economically
handled, should be encouraged. Car"
nivals carefully planned by local COM
mittees are usually Of this type. These
the state council of defense has no
disposition to criticize, but it wishes
emphatically to place it's stamp of dis
approval upon the floating carnival or
low character which visits towns only
to bleed them as much as possible.
"The average travelling street carni"
val makes no educational and little
| financial contribution to the cOmmun-
ity. The character of amusement and
entertainment is not always whole
some. The moral tone is usually not
high.
"The state council Of defense,
therefore, urges that the county cOun-
ellis take every legitimate step to dis
courage people from patronizing street
carnivals and similar organizations OF
doubtful character"

SENDS APPEAL TO
PRESIDENT WILSON
Governor Phillip Wires for Relief
From the Shortage of
Anthracite Coal.
OUTLOOK BAD FOR WINTER
Operators Must Be Made to Get an
Adequate Supply of Coal Into the
State, or the People and Indus
tries Will Suffer Severely.

MadiSOn.-Acting as the head Of the
state council of defense, and after a
conference with the other members of
that organization, Governor Philip
added the authority of his Office to the
demand that coal prices come down
and the supply be increased.
Governor Philip sent the following
telegram to President Wilson with in
structionS that it be delivered to the
president personally:
Honorable Woodrow Wilson, Wash
ingtOn, D. O.:
'"The hard coal supply in the state
Of Wisconsin is not adequate and the
indications are that unless something
drastic be done by you this state and
the Northwest will be very short OF
anthracite coal during the coming
winter and much suffering will follow.
The receipts are short at all lake ports
and there is no indication now that
transportation will be available be-
tween this date and the closing OF
navigation, which is a little more than
ninety days from now. On behalf OF
the people of the state we appeal to
you to give such orders to coal prOduc-
ers and coal carriers as will insure
reasonable supply of hard coal for this
section. The soft coal which the rail-
roads can bring to us is being used by
manufacturers and will, unless the sup
ply can be materially increased, be
continued to be consumed for that pur-
pose.-Emanuel L. Phillip, Governor
Of Wisconsin"
Direct to- Wilson.
Because Of the immense correspond
ence which the offices of the president
are receiving some difficulty has been
encountered in reaching the chief exec
ptive except on matters of the most
vital Importance. Other matters are
handled by his aides.
Governor Philip is determined,
however, that this appeal from the
state council of defense shall go direct
to President Wilson. He is confident
that the president feels his interest is
demanded by the great states of the
| Northwest and that his personal action
will follow.

Danger From Poisonous Plants.

Several varieties of plants that are
poisonous to live stock grow in wild
pastures and are sometimes seen in
tame grass pastures. In Wisconsin
the securing rush, water hemlock, and
wild cherry are the most common.
When there is plenty of feed, animals
exercise considerable discretion in Sc
lecting what they eat, but when for
age is scarce they will consume plants
that would otherwise be refused. Ex-
perienCe shows that poisoning occurs
most often when cattle and sheep are
changed from dry feed to pasture. To
prevent poisoning and to reduce the
danger from bloat which is likely to
occur when a sudden change is made
from dry ration to pasture, or from
poor pasture to a better one, or from
grass to clover or alfalfa, full feed
of dry roughage should be given before
turning out the stock then allow them
to remain on the pasture for O saort
time oc4iy sacIl day 2og G week.
