GERMANS KNEW
WELL THAT WAR
WAR WAS COMING
Bavarian and Austrian in Madison
Sayagely Condemn the Central
Powers

Two travelling men were in Madison
a day or two ago, one a Bavarian, the
other an Austrian, and both were bit
ter in Their denunciation of the Prus-
SLAMS. One has lost seven brothers in
the war, the other three, and the Aus
trian declared fiercely that he would
like to go back and fight the Austrians
for vengeance! The Bavarian was
captain in the German army and re.
signed four weeks before war opened.
81 knew it was coming said he,
"knew it was coming soon, so l got
out-my term Of service was up, and
could withdraw. I hastened out Of
the country as quickly as | could. We
all understood fully what was to hap
pen"
This captain has taken out his first
two papers to secure American citi-
zenship.
The casualties coming directly into
their own families reveal the terrible
extent Of the sacrifices the central
powers are being forced to make.
The Bavar. an was outraged over the
whole situation, and was as merciless
in his criticism Of Germany as any
American.
"Bavarians," said he, ''are put for
wad in places of special danger and
shot to save Prussians, and if any
heroism is shown Prussians are care
fully gwen the credit Prussians, too,
hold all the high commands. Bavar-
ians and Saxons may be lieutenants
and captains but every regiment is
ruled by Prussian. The war clique
sees to that-and it also sees to it that
no internal revolt is possible. The
Prussian overlordship is everywhere"
One man travels for a Swiss house,
the other for a French company.

BARABOOvETERANS
INVADE PORTAGE.

Concerning the visit of the Baraboo
veterans at Portage on Wednesday,
the Register, among other things says:
a party of about thirty veterans Of
Joe hooker post, No. 8, G. A. R., in
vaded Portage on Wednesday morning
to visit the Columbia county veterans
and to attend the fair. They were
under the impression that Wednes
day was the date of the runion, which
was really set for Thursday, hence
there was some disappointment as to
the reception of the most welcome vet
Grams from our neighboring town.
However, members of the local G. A.
r. and other citizens organized quick
ly and made the day pleasant for the
visitors
The Baraboo veterans are a jovia1
lot of men and left invitations to all
the veterans of Columbia county to
come to Baraboo on September 10,
which is G. A. r. day at the Sauk
County fair, and a general reunion will
be held at the fair grounds, where a
large tent will be provided as head
quarters and the days Of the Civil
War will be recalled.

FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

kOM n OhSOAf . DAtL
At a late hour last night, or during
the early hours of the morning the
large six-cylinder Buick owned by o..
F. Lueth was taken by parties un-
known while at Kilbourn and backed
into telephone pole with disastrous
results for the rear end of the car.
1t appears that Al. Page took par
ty of seven to Kilbourn to join with
the state fair boosters who stopped in
Baraboo yesterday, and while he was
absent from the auto some party or
parties attempted to start the car. AS
the auto spun round it was guided into
the city fountain and one arm OF the
latter broken when the crash cane
Next the car was backed into 6 tele-
phone post apparently with terrific
force, as the back end of the car was
stove in, the gas tank badly bent and
the extra tire jammed. Notwithstand-
ing the damage, no vital part OF the
car was injured and it was able to re-
turn home under it's own power. But
five persons, however, retured in the
car, while seven made the trip to Xii

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH IN
WATERY RACE

On Wednesday afternoon as a
Dodge car was coming up the hill on
Potter street, just after crossing the
bridge over the race, the engine died
and the car backed down the hill. All
of the occupants of the car were wom-
en- and children, and one of the young
sters remarked that when the trouble
commenced everybody grabbed for the
steering wheel. The car kept going
down, down, down until the rear
wheels went over the stone wall at the
side of the bridge. 1t kept on going
and as it did so the occupants kept
throwing their possessions out and
climbing to safety When the car
came to a stop it hung over the wall,
rear wheels far down, just like a
chicken clinging by its bill to the top
board of a fence. Fortunately none
Of the five occupants got into the swift
flowing race, else it might have been
serious. A. S. Lanich was summoned,
and after working about four hours
got the car out. There was no great
damage and the machine was able to
go upon it's way One of the women
said they were from Chicago, but the
car bore a Wisconsin tag. They re-
fused to give their names and did not
say where they were from. AS the car
drove away the one at the wheel was
heard to say, "The next time | start
out / am going to know who is running
the steering wheel" 1t was narrow
escape.

BOOSTERS OFTHE
STATE FAIR ! SEE
BARABOO REGION
Come From Madison to Prairie du
Sac, Devils Lake, This City,
Then on to Kilbourn
EXPERIENCE ALL
KINDS OF ROADS
Program Given in the Courthouse
Park and the AL. Ringing The
atre While Here

The state fair boosters visited this
region on Wednesday, leaving Madi-
son in the morning and reaching Kill
bourn in the evening.
The morning run from Madison to
Devils Lake was one of the hardest
encountered so far by the boosters. A
car from Devils Lake which was to
act as pilot from Prairie du Sac, did
not travel fast enough for the Milwau-
keeans, and as a result many covered
add tional miles, some running direct
to Baraboo, and others to Merrimack.
The latter town was included in the
schedule, but owing to this mixup was
forced to be dropped. The last car to
arrive at Devils Lake pulled in shortly
after / o'clock. All had dinner and
many of the boosters took a dip IN the
lake. After a two-hour rest the trip
was resumed to Baraboo.
At Baraboo
The cars were parked on the south
side Of the courthouse square, and, led
by a band, the boosters marched to
the front of the county building, where
the program was given. There was
music by the band and vocal numbers
by several members through mega
phones.
Mayor Thuerer presided and gave
a short address of welcome He pre-
sented the boosters with key several
feet long and at the same time re-
marked that, although the town was
dry, the key might open the doors OF
several cellars, where something de-
sirable might be obtained. Oaughter.)
Commissioner Of Agriculture G. z.
Norgord spoke of this section being
blessed with abundant crops and OF
the wonderful opportunity the people
here have of enjoying themselves on
bluff, lake and river. He also spoke
of the necessity of inspiring ourselves
with the love of country, and said the
visitors had come to arouse enthusl-
asm for the state fair.
Governor E. L. Philip had gone to
Camp Douglas and could not be pres
ent. Mayor Thuerer called upon Lieu
tenant Governor e. F. Dithmar, who,
on looking about and not seeing any
of the Milwaukee visitors, reasoned
they had all taken the mayor at his
word and had gone in search Of the
cellars. Naughter).
Mr.. Dthmar spoke of some Of the
leading men of the county, mentioning
Hon. John M. True, SO long secretary
of the state fair; Justice r. ID. Mar
shall, Justice r. G. Siebecker and the
governor. He closed by saying the
state is doing a great service and that
as to food and soldiers Sauk County
would do more than her share.
Frank A. Cannon of Madison, who
is good roads booster, spoke of the
enjoyment of the trip and the neces-
sity for better roads. In the past we
have been accustomed to think in
small things, but the day is at hand
when we must think in millions-in
large terms.
The state fair is to visualize the
great state Of Wisconsin-her best
productions. The fair is not for the
boosters, nor for Milwaukee, but for
all of the people of Wisconsin.
The visitors enjoyed comic film at
the AL. Ringing theatre and then hur-
ried over the fine road to Kilbourns
where they took passage on boat.
