The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1917-11-22

The third contingent OF Mantowoc
county men for the national army left
for Camp Custer, Michigan, Monday
morning. At the last minute tele-
gram was received ordering all ship
yard employees to remain at their work.
This released twelve men OF the first
district contingent and reduced it to
A.. Exemptions granted by the dis
trct board at Oshkosh the last few
days also reduced the second district
number below the requirements. The
total number departing was about l0i.
The scenes of the former departures
we're re.enacted. The Home Guard
made its first public appearance. The
guard and the Marine Band escorted
the boys to the train. AS the train
pulled out whistles blew and the as
sembled crowd cheered. The boys
reached camp Monday evening. Har-
rson Noble, assisted by his brother
Henry, Arthur Wigen and Jacob G,
Drews we're in chargs of the local
squad. Two local men failed to show
up and alternates took their places.
John Benversie of Cleveland was ready
with his grip but didn't hear his name
called at the Court House and so didn't
go on the train. He was found on the
street by the board lutte later and
it was evident that he staid back
through misunderstanding. He was
sent forward to join a group going
from Milwaukee Tuesday. The list o.
new soldiers follows:

COUNTIES APPLY
 FOR ROAD FUNDS
Meeting of Alabama Highway Com mission Was Held in Birming-
 ham Yesterday

For the purpose of preparing to take advantage of the appropriation under the Bankhead bill for good roads, the Ala bama highway commission met in Bir- mingham yesterday at the Tutwiler ho- tel.
 w. S. Keller, highway engineer of the state Robert E. Spragins of Huntsville, John Craft of Mobile, and J. R. Ry- lance of Montgomery. were in attend ance. The application Of half a dozen counties for their prorata share of the good road appropriation were considered without final action. Under the bill, a county to secure government money must raise on its own account a sum equal to that to be granted.
 There is fine good road enthusiasm in Alabama" stated MT. Keller follow ing the meeting.

Gov ernment aid will prove wonderful tn- centive, and time will come, it is indi- cated. when there will be no bad roads in this state.''

Bankhead Thinks Govern ment Will Spend Entire
 $2O,000,000 Fund There
TO SEE SECRETARY
 BAKER NEXT MONDAY
Thinks It Unfortunate That Discrim- inatiOn Was Shown in Favor of the Knights of
 Columbus

A big spring near Sheffield, the water or which is of uniform temperature the year round, was a factor which the gov Gle Shoals territory the experimental nitrate plant, according to a statement by Senator Banlhead.
 "The spring in question is of peren- nial flow and the temperature of it's water is uniform the year round" con- tinued the senator. Ut develops that such water was regarded as almost es- sential for the experiments which the government will make
 Following the period of experimen- tation, I am convinced that the govern ment will locate near Sheffield the re- maining units of the plant, and will spend there the entire appropriation of $2o, ,000, 900. The government, which se- cures it's money at very low rate or interest, cannot afford to permit Muscle Shoals to remain undeveloped. It is the source of greatest water power wholly within the United States It's develop ment would mean that the farmer of the south would receive his fertilizer at half the present cost. The south would be- come the richest agricultural section Of the world
 Senator Bankhead returned to Wash ington last night. Monday, he will dis cuss with Secretary Baker the war or der which permits the Knights of Co- lumbus alone of all secret societies to occupy cantonment territory.
 "As 1 have previously stated" said the senator, T do not object to the use O. government property by any secret order. I am convinced, however, that if the Knights of Columbus are favored other secret orders should be likewise favored. I am going to insist on Sec retary Baker making statement as to why the Knights of Columbus were given exclusive rights Unless the Secretary gives satisfaction, I am going to the President.
 "The situation is more serious than it would appear at first sight. It will result in arousing bitterness and division on the part of the people, and in time of war, the people must be united. Ii would be unfortunate were all grand lodges of Masons to pass resolutions condemning any action of the goverl. ment."
 The senator agreed that politics ap- peared to be .''warnning up" but he de- clined to discuss the impending cam paign.
