USE ARMS TO RESIST DRAFT
Attack on Offcers-Gun Used
BY Former Blue jacket.

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
Iy 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
1t 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.

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

Camp Douglas - Gen. Charles II
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 dt
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
Maj. 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 1t 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.

standing on the bank of the Flam-
beau river near the bridge above the
dam, Rev. ID. J. Howe, State Mission
airy of the Christian Church, per-
formed the baptismal rite in the
dark and rain at 10 O'Clock Sunday
night.
The man had requested that he be
baptised at once. and would not wait
until later. He had been converted
and the request was granted. other
baptisms had been made Sunday at
the Christian church meetings but
the services had ended when the
last request came.

GIVE flREMEN RIGHT OF WAY
In Case of Fire the Public Should
i Net Obstruct the Highways

Certain conditions have come to
the attention of the firemen that, if
changed, would add to the efficiency
of the department. 1t sometimes
happens that we'll meaning people
interfere more or less seriously with
the work of the department. For ex-
ample, on the evening of Aug. 25
the fire alarm was given and the
firemen found, upon reaching the
station, that the fire was beyond the
limits of the hose connections, hence
two automobiles were filled with
firemen, with buckets, who started
Immediately for the fire. When the
people saw where the chemical auto
was going, many who were out rid
ing in their cars, turned in and fol-
lowed. One car going quite rapidly
in the same direction was signaled
by the first carload Of firemen to
let them by. The lady who was
driving the car let them by but i'm
mediately swung back to the left
of the road and began driving at a
rapid pace. She practically cut off
any possibility of the second car of
firemen passing, if they remained
on the road. They were going pref
ty rapidly and signaling as loudly as
possible for permission to pass, but
in order to do so they had to go
into the ditch for number of rods.
No doubt the lady and the two or
three children who were with her
wanted to see the fire and would
have tried to help if occasion had
required, but it seems as though I'M
der these conditions that carload
of firemen, including the chief,
should be given the right Of way.
The firemen found upon crossing the
tracks that the road was SO filled
with cars. joy riders, ETC., that it
was practically impossible to pass
them all, hence, had to content
themselves with a rate of only about
ten or twelve miles per hour. l think
some of the cars were partially pre-
vented from a faster speed by some
boys riding on bicycles. AS it turned
out, the fire was not serious and
there was nothing worth while to
see for the lady and children or
other sight seers, and nothing for
the firemen to do, but this case
illustrates the point that it is bet
ter for women and children and men
who do not care to help, not to in
terfere or get in the way of those
who will help.
Many times fire breaks out per-
haps five or six blocks from the
engine house. The alarm is given
and some of the firemen have to
run from their places of business
or their homes to the engine house
and get their part of the apparatus
and get to the fire. If team is on
hand they can probably get there
quite promptly, but | nave seen
cases where two or possibly three
men would be pulling a heavy
vehicle, hose cart or hook and lad
der wagon. and number of people
standing along the streets would
laugh at them and tell them to
hurry and later these same people
would stand around at the fire and
criticise, make fun of them, and
swear at them for not being more
prompt. But they had not offered to
help in getting the cart there. How
ever. many of the people not fire
men are very good about helping the
firemen to get to the fires and to

Fighting Temeraire" being towed to
her last resting place.
Turner's artistic soul needed no in
depreciation of the sublimity of that
scene and in 1898, one year later, he
exhibited this great masterpiece.
A hugh ship, phantomlike, and
ghostly through the shimmering hazes
and mists, is the central point of in
terest in the picture, but the scene is
wonderfully enhanced and beautified
by the marvellous coloring. Stately
and majestic the "Teberaire" is trans
figured in the glorious red Of the sun
set How strange and out Of place in
such fiery brilliance seems the cold
pale light of the moon, which family
asserts its presence among a moss of
pearl-tinted clouds. Well might the
great Ruskin exclaim:
mo greater painter of sky ever
lived than Turner"
Citizens of England take just prida
in this wonderful picture, and though
the artist was offered fabulous sums
for it. he declined to part with it, and
upon his death, 1t was found he had
bequeathed it to the English nation.
1t now hangs in the National Gal
lery at London.
Joseph Mallard Turner was born In
humble home in Maiden Lane, Lon
don.
In weather-stained old house, in a
dismal quarter of London, he produced
his most famous pictures. He died In
1851, leaving the whole of his vast
fortune to help poor struggling artists.

Interest is accommodating in the pic
lures to be exhibited at the Furlow
Grammar school next week
The only way to get the full pleas
ure out of these fine reproductions of
the worlds great masterpieces of art,
is to make a special study of at least
one of each of the schools of art rep
resented. With the hope of making

a short study of some famous paint
ings or work of art which 1t will be
our privilege to see. The study
chosen for today is THE Fighting
Temeraire," by Joseph Mallard Will
liam Turner, England's great land
scape painter.
When the news of a great naval vic
tory was flashed to England it carried
with it also the tiding of the splendid
work done by the most gallant ship Of
the feet, the "Temeraire." 1t was her
mighty bulk and gallant crew which
plOwed through the very heart of the
enemy's forces-thus England's pride
in her old warship grew into a rever-
ence, and the reverence almost into
worship.
1t was when this honored old ship
was being turned to her destruction
that the artist painted this great pic
ture. 1t was sunset upon the Thames.
The last rays were touching the river
with that peculiar beauty, which lin
gers just before the approach Of twi-
light, Nothing disturbed the calm
beauty of the scene. save only little
rowboat, in which were seated Will
liam Turner, the great landscape
painter Of England, and two artist
friends.
To them the scene was one OF, keen
est enjoyment. as perhaps, there never
lived an artist who found greater de-
light than Turner In the beauties of
nature. Suddenly there came across
the water the puffs of steam tug, as
it approached nearer there doomed up
gradually behind it the gigantic pro-
portions Of an old fashioned warship,
her sails were idly Tapping in the
wind and her decks were deserted.
That was all. Yet what emotions must
have thrilled these Engllshmen? No
need to explain to them the identity
