FOOD BILL is ADOPTED
CONFEREES' REPORT ACCEPTED
BY HOUSE WITHOUT DISSENT.
Measure Confines Control to One Man
and Provides So Wheat-Board
Eliminated.

Washington, Aug 6.-The confer
ence report on the food control bill
was adopted on Friday by the house
without dissenting voice. Caleb Pow
ers voted against the acceptance, but
afterward changed his vote. Jeff Lee
more Of Texas voted present"
The house also adopted almost
unanimously the conference report on
the bill creating a food survey.
Some dissatisfaction was expressed
that the food control bill provided 81
wheat, eliminated the committee on
war expenditures and confined the
control to one man. Republicans spoke
against these features. But in the end
the Republicans Joined in the aye
vote.
The vote on acceptance of the re-
port was 357 to 0. The objection of
Powers was based on the Pomerene
section, which regulates coal and
coke through the federal trade COM
mission.
The report on the food survey
shows that the bill carries an appro-
priation of $11,346000. The house
originally made it $14, 10000, but the
senate made the cut.

HOLD ON TO OPEN TACTICS
American Soldiers Not to Be Trained
in Trench Fighting to Exclusion
of Older Strategy.

It seems probable now that we shall
not be able to go into the trench fight
ing at the training camps quite as
thoroughly as the Canadians and the
English have done. Herbert Reed
writes in the New York Independent.
OF course the trench charging, bayonet
and bombing, through wire entangle-
ments and fascines will be taught, but
unless there is a sudden change in
plans I doubt if the complicated laby-
rinths used over the northern border
will be duplicated.
There seems to be growing feeling
that since we are building up from the
bottom we must devote more time than
the new levies of our allies to the STRAIT
egg and tactics of open warfare. 1t Is
Of course, understood that many of us
how many no one knowS-are going
to France, where trench warfare is at
its height, but the powers that be have
not been unmindful of the work OF
Won Hindenburg early in the war on
the eastern front, and they do not
want to be caught fiat-footed should
the opportunity for swift open field OPP
erations on a large scale ever offer.
1t is in such operations that the off,
GERS of the line, the battalion COM
manders especially, and the second
ieutenants as a matter of course, need
larger vision than is to be gained
through the intensive study of trench
warfare alone.

STATE TO PROTEST
OFFICERS RULING
DROPPING MARRIED MEN FROM
GUARD TO BE SUBJECT OF
COMPLAINTS.
IGNORE DEPENDENT AID LAW
Hol"ay Says Discrimination Is Shown
Between National Guard and
United States Army-Five
Sergeants Are Dropped.

Mad'son-A protest against the ac-
ton of United States mastering Off
GERS in dropping married men from
the Wisconsin National Guard will be
lodged with the war department by
the State Of Wisconsin. 1t develops
that Adjt Gen. Mccain of the United
States army has instructed them to
ignore the state laws for aid of the
dependents of soldiers.
When the Sheboygan company of
the Second Wisconsin was mustered
into the federal service five sergeants
were dropped for this reason. These
non-commissioned officers are soldiers
OF long experience. Similar cases else
where in which the effectiveness of
the unit is threatened by such action
are reported.
AdJt.-Gen. Holway has received APP
plications from a number of Wiscon-
SIN men enlisted in the regular army
tor aid for dependents. His position is,
that it is not fair discrimination
against the National Guard by ignoring
the state aid law in their cases and in
voking it in the cases of United States
army men.
Twelve applications for dependent
aid have been granted on certifcation
of Adjt.-Gen. Holway, and forty more
are under consideration. The closest
scrutiny is being given all such appli-
/ cations.

PRAISE FOR BADGER Troops
General Barry Pleased With Condition
and Strength of Wisconsin
National Guard.

Madison-Adit. Gen. Holway has re-
ceived many strong Endorsements from
federal army officers on the strength
and condition of the Wisconsin Ma
uonal guard. Statements of army off,
GERS are uniformly to the effect that
no other state in the union has done
more toward placing its guard in a
position to meet the war emergency
than has Wisconsin.
Gen. Thomas H. Barry of the De-
partment of the Lakes, United States
army, who made an official call on Gov.
Ph1hpp, enroute from Camp Douglas
to Chicago, reiterated the expression
OF satisfaction and told the governor
that everyone was satisfied with what
Wisconsin has accomplished.
Gen. Holway says conditions at
Camp Douglas are fast becoming army
like, and that no difficulty will be ex-
perlenced in having all troops which
are modified there well equipped be-
fore they start South.
The government shipments Of equip
ment have been rushed to the Wi5con-
sin guard, and the regiments are fast
assuming q correct military appear
ance. The fact that so many compa-
MES in the Wisconsin guard have
seen service at the Mexican border
and are practically seasoned troops is
OF great aid in rounding the National
guard units of Wisconsin into shape.
Nearly all of the recruits also of the
regiments which were in service be
fore the war, have received military
training since they joined the guard.
The work of training the new regi-
ments also is progressing very fast

SEES COAL TRUST ACTION
State Defense Council Is Shown New
Angie of Operation-Miners Re-
fuse to Make Shipments.

Madison-The state council of de-
Tense was told at it's weekly meeting by
a man long connected with the coal
business Of new angle of the trust
method of operation.
For several months the excuse has
been offered by coal operators that a
shortage Of cars was responsible for
the scarcity of coal and the high price.
The testimony given showed that op-
orators have refused to ship coal from
their mines to the docks except when
the coal is bought at the mines. The
price of Pocahontas in f. o. b. mines in
1916 was s115. The price today is
$3.50 ton.
1t was shown that il the coal oper-
ators would ship coal now while the
lake is open and fill the docks, being
willing to take the going price for the
coal when it is finally sold, that the
probability of coal famine in the west
next winter would be averted. 1t was
testified, however, that the coal oper-
ators refused to consign coal to them
selves, and the dealers and dock oper-
ators have declined to contract for
coal at the present prices.

SAYS U. S. MUST HELP
AMERICA. MUST TAKE RUSSIA's
PLACE IN THE FIELD.
Major General Maurice, Chief Director
of British Military Operations,
Says Flanders Fight Success.

London, Aug. 4-'Looking from the
broader aspect at the events of the
last fortnight in Russia" said Maj
Gen. Frederick B. Maurice, chief direc-
tor of military operations at the war
Office, on Thursday, in his weekly talk,
''it will necessarily mean a prolonga-
ton of the war. We cannot longer
count on any great material assist
ance from Russia, This means a
greater burden on the other entente
allies, and for the United States it
means that she must come into the
field as soon as possible and with the
greatest possible force"
Major General Maurice in comment
ing on the Flanders battle, said:
'This week the battle in Flanders
was an entire success. Gen. Sir Doug
las Haig fixed definite line of objec-
tives and, speaking generally, he at
tanned it successfully. On the south
ern third of the front he attacked and
gained his objective easily. On the
northern third the enemy's resistance
broke down so completely that General
Haig felt justified in permitting his
troops to go well beyond the objec-
tive. In the central third we fell a
little short of the objective, owing to
stubborn enemy resistance"
General Maurice said that the Brit
ish commanders next move was to
determine another objective and then,
after the customary process of prep
aration, to proceed similarly to
| achieve it.
"In cases of this kind" said the gen
eral, 'the objective line depends main.
ly upon the range of the artillery. The
attacks must be patient and method
ical. In this way we can gain ground
and inflict heavy losses on the enemy
without heavy losses to ourselves
| "In this weeks battle we co-operated
with the French. There were about
six times as many British troops as
French soldiers. OF the British four.
fifths were purely English and one
fifth Amaze australians and New

WISCONSIN STATE
CAPITOL IS DONE
NEW STRUCTURE is COMPLETED
EIGHTY YEARS AFTER THE
FIRST BUILDING STARTED.
TOTAL COST is s7,o44,ooo
Everything Above $3.50, 900 Accrued
Through General Railroad and
Corporation Taxes - Dedica-
tion After the War.

Madison - Wisconsin's new state
capitol has been completed at an ex-
pense of approximately $7,044 900, in
Guiding fixtures. When the unpaid
bills are settled and account is taken
OF the money voted to repair the old
building for temporary use, the sum
will reach $7,200,000 This sum is
eight times the amount that had been
spent all told on previous state CAPT
tolls erected on the same spot The
new capitol reaches completion just
eighty years after the first capitol
building was started on the same
ground.
There doubtless will be a formal
dedication of the new capitol, when
the war is over. Senator Timothy
Burke of Green Bay had a bill in the
1917 legislature for that purpose, but
it was withdrawn when the war was
declared
According to statement just filed
with the secretary of state there has
been spent in construction of the cap
itol building proper, So, 444,86 - or
over half million dollars less than
the limitation fixed by the 1907 legis-
lature. Decorations have cost 1884,
9S3.77; furniture, $238,S80.72; the
ground and approaches, $354,718.45
and the heat, light and power plant is
located half mile from the building
and connected with tunnels $500, 1862.
For the improvement of the old capital
after the fire the state spent $40, 663.77,
making total expenditure to date of
$7084, 851,96. From the appropriations
of $7,255,91766, there is a cash bal
ance OF s171,065,70, but there are I'M
paid bills amounting to $95,332.71,
leaving cash balance after all &C
counts have, been settled of SIS, 2.99.
OF the total of $7,255, 917.66 appropri-
ated for the capitol only $1,350,00 was
levied by direct taxes, $450,000 for
each of the years 1909, 1910 and 1913
The remainder came out of the general
taxes from railroads and other corpo-
rationS.

o., to secure a settlement of the claims

Before his death McHugh agreed to
pay one-nalf of the amount Of the
claims of the thirty-one persons in
jured II the athletic council of the uni
versity would pay the other half.
A settlement with the claimants has
been arranged by which they are to
be paid $4,000, one-half by the Nc
Hugh estate and the other half by the
athletic council. Brossard and Thork-
elson went to Cleveland to get the part
of the money to be paid by the Nc

DEATHS ARE ON DECREASE
survey of the Second Quarter Shows
Decrease from 142 to IL
Per Thousand.

Madison - Figures for the quarter
comprising April, May and June offer
evidence of material reduction in the
number of deaths reported in Wis
consin. The total for the period was
1875, which was 1,343 less than in the
first quarter of this year. 1t was, how
ever, 81 more than the number re-
ported in the last period of 1916
For the period just announced, the
death rate per 1000 population was
II, as compared with 14.2 in the pre-
ceding quarter. The northern group
of counties make the best showing in
this respect, with death rate of 10.S,
the southern counties following with
124, and the central group with 12.5.
In the list of important causes Of
death, pneumonia led with 791, pulmo-
nary tuberculosis was next with 571,
and cancer third with 400. Violence
accounted for AGO deaths.

WAREHOUSES; ARE PLANNED
Campaign to Erect Storage and Drying
Plants for War Crops is
Under Way.

Madison-A campaign to erect COM
munity storage houses and drying
plants for war crops is under way in
Wisconsin.
Although no definite action has been
taken by defense councils except in A
few counties, it is expected that the
demands of farmers, gardeners and
others will be met with organization
to effect such a program.
That great saving of foodstuEs is to
be effected through community storing
is pointed out, as well as the fact that
such foodstuffs will be wasted unless
some such action is taken The Iepart-
ment of agriculture at Washington,
during the recent hot weather, urged
immediate steps toward preserving
threatened perishable crops. This COW
ers such products as berries, fruits,
fresh garden vegetables, and root
plants.

Madison-The fact that the small

size and threatening to decrease in
number is being realized by majority
Of people who have looked into the
matter and who realize that between
1900 and 1910 more than 400 small
cities and towns right in our own state
decreased in population, in some in
stances to an alarming degree.
Speakers on the chautauqua plat
forms are urgent in their demands that
something be done in the interests of
the small town as well as in the back
to the soil' movement.
''The strength of the country is the
farm, the village and the small city"

the several counties in proportion to
the amount of license fees paid by mo-
tor vehicle owners in such counties.
