But. in spite of what the Free Press
may say, conditions are not quite as
bad with the allied powers as it
would have people understand. And
1t isn't quite so rosy in Germany
either. In spite of its claim of album
dance of food Germany is suffering
from want. And this in spite of the
fact that the United States through
the neutral countries, has been supply
ing Germany enough fats for its en-
tire army. This is going to be cut
oil now that the government has dis
covered the leak. And the chancellor
frequent speeches in which he is try
ing to convey to the German peoples
that Germany was "forced into the
war, and must fight TO maintain its
existense because England and France
are out for conquest indicates inter
nal dissensiOn. When a government
has to resort to such falsehoods to
keep it. people in line, it is very evil
dent that the monarchy is lettering.
1t is OF course a long ways from fall

study OF conditions, the beginning Of

it does not look as prom sing as
might be desired, holds out an abso-
lutte assurance of ultimate victory

UNABLE TO SHIP FISH
Residents Handicapped By
New Law Which Prohibits
Them Shipping Outside
State.
Copyright.)

There will be no shipping OF
game fish outside the limits OF
the state of Wisconsin this year
bv the resident fisherman.
This is the interpret ton OF
the law as enacted this year by
the state legislature, and there
is much grief attached thereto
to this enactment. Therefore,
if YOU, the fellow who has prom
ised your outofstate friend a
nice box of fish, can see any
method of getting the aforemen-
toned present to it's destination,
YOU certainly deserve a medal.
Somehow, somewhere. at the
last minute before the legislature
adjourned, it appears to the un-
fortunate who claims to be a
resident of the glorious state OF
Wisconsin that someone slipped
one over on him. The bill as orr
ginally presented, so we learn,
was builded to permit the resi-
dent to ship game fish outside
the state. He would be given a
permit by either the game war
den or the conservation commits
sion for the shipment outside
this was done for the purpose OF
eliminating "pot fishermen" from
shipping fish to the market.
But, when the laws were print
ed it has been found that this
section was dropped out. ac-
cording to advices.
But, when the laws were print
ed there was nothing in them to
show where the resident had the
privilege of shipping with per
NIT outside the state. And his
is where the shoe plnches, and
the question is why was it lett
out if it was originally in the
drafted bill?

WHAT is IT'S ATTITUDE
Is the Milwaukee Free Press
a Strictly American News
paper or is it to Be Classed
as An Enemy to American
Patriotism.

Several communications have
been mailed the Villas County
News lately regarding the atti-
tude of the Milwaukee Free Press
in the present war situation
The bone of contention seems
70 be with the Free Press, at
least that is what the readers
are led to suspect, that it is not
an American newspaper but is
pro German from cellar t o garnet,
and the question is asked why.
if it is for Germany, there is not
some pressure brought to bear
by the proper officials and stop
its unpatriotic utterances-if
they can be classed as such.
If one in reading the Free Press
secures any other version from
its articles than that it is not
with the American public in the
present war with Germany. then
the public must be- right in its
ideas that the Free Press is trail
torous to the United States in
attempting to SOW dissension
throughout our country. If one
takes its utterances wrong, and
which we hope we do, then the
people certainly would appre-
ciate the Free Press making a
public statement just why its
articles are misinterpreted by
the public in general,
Tie following article will show
Tat others are also of the opin-
ION that the Free Press is for
Germany, and that 1T should be
muzzled and its issuance of its
daily edition stopped. providing
of course, it is publically pro
German. Any man or any news
paper not now patriotic per-
son or publication, should be
dealt with in the severest man
ner possible. They are traitors
to the country wherein they live
and also to the country which
gave them birth.
The article reads:
The Milwaukee Free Press in long
twO-column article reviews conditions
at the beginning of the fourth year of
the war, eliminates that the people
want to sESnew the truth about the
war situation and then goes on and
tells in what excellent condition Ger
many is in and in what deplorable
condition the allies are in. The Free
Press says it doesn't wish to be at all
pessimistic, but paints a picture that
is far from encouraging, and as
matter of fact one would think from
reading the editorial that, the situa-
ton, as far as German victory was
concerned, was all up but the shout
ing. However. the Free Press has
been looking through the kaiser's
eyes so long and preaching his doc
trine with such enthusiasm, that it
outrivals the German press itself.

Governor Stewart says that while
not "a strong advocate of capital pun

system of ranking teams and Of Sc
,lecting all star line,ups.
Football teams" he says, SHOULD
only be ranked in the groups to which
they belong. And by this l mean the
rules under which they play. It is
hardly fair to rank one eleven that
doesn't play freshmen, that has three
year limit. that has strict scholarship
requirements. with a team that works
under none of these restrictions. Why
shouldn't Brown, Colgate and West
Point, for sample, have the elevens?
Look at the long experience that Oil
plant. McEwan and Vidal had drawn
before they ever saw West Point.
You'll find that a great many football
players are not stars until their third
year at the game. Yet Oliphant has
already had five years and McEwan

We haven't run across anyone who
sums up Percy Haughton's ability
better than Fielding II. Yost.
You find a number of people, says
Yost, who say that Haughton should
have been successful because he has
had fine material. This latter state
ment is true. He has had fine ma
terial. But this point has been fire.
qucnrly ovcrooked-he has also got
ten the last ounce out OF his material.
1t takes as much football genius to
get the full worth of fine material as
it does to develop poor material. Fol-
there is :; tendency, with good material
at hand. to get careless and let a good
part of it go to waste. Haughton has
never made this mistake. He has left
nothing go to waste. He is the sort OF
football instructor who can develop
poor material. if given the time, and
who can get the best out of good ma
terial.
This is the combination that makes
for a victorious system. They may
stop him once in II while but only
figure back over his complete average
