EXPECT TO ENTRAIN SOON
mo Formal Announcement Made, But
Indications Point to Early De-
parture of State Troops.

I Camp Douglas - There is a stir In
Camp Douglas which indicates early
departure for Waco, Tex, of several
units Of the Wisconsin National guard,
most of which has been mustered into
the federal service.
No formal announcement has been
made as to when troops will leave and
no passenger coaches pulled on the
Bidetrack indicate immediate depart
ure, but companies which are not up
TO war strength are being filled from
the ranks of unassigned men, and
there is a general feeling that the or
der from General Thomas H. Barry to
leave for the southern caEtonment is
not far off.
The first units, as previously indi-
Gated, will be made up of camp build
ers, with the different branches of the
service represented. The main body of
the guard is likely to follow soon after
the camp builders leave. Whether all
the men will be equipped here or
whether part of the equipment will be
shipped to Waco has not been an
nounced. 1t is believed, however, that
the soldiers leaving here will be in
Khaki and carry rifles, and that the
remainder of the equipment will be
provided in the southern camp.

GUY D. GOFF is NAMED MAJOR
Special United States District Attor-
ney for Wisconsin Assigned for
Immediate Duty.

Milwaukee-GuyD d. Golf, of Milwau-
kee, special United States district at
torney for Wisconsin, has been ap-
pointed major in the judge advocate
generals department of the United
States army and assigned to duty in
the office of the Judge advocate gen.
eral in Washington.
The announcement of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Golf came as complete
gram from Adjt. Gen. Mccain of the
regular army. The telegram ordered
Mr.. Golf to report to Washington at
once for duty. He will leave as soon
as possible.
At the beginning of the war, Mr..
Golf rendered his services to the gov
eminent in any form it might desire,
and his first appointment was as spe-
cial district attorney for Wisconsin to
assist in trial of cases arising out of
war questions. His appointment to
the army will, of course, cause his
resignation as special district attorney.
Maj Golf is well known attorney
and is a son of Judge Golf Of West
Virginia, who is an attorney on the
federal bench. Maj. Golf has been vi
tally interested in the war ever since
its beginning and has been connected
with patriotic organizations in Wis
consin which have been organized to
aid in the war situation.
Mai Golf has been a figure political
ly in the state and has been mentioned
as a possible candidate for the Repub-
licans who have been looking for
candidate to run on a patriotic plat
form. His new appointment probably
removes him from the range of Wis
consin political possibilities.
Major Golf is about fifty years of
age and was in one campaign the Re
publican candidate for mayor of Mil
waukee. He will serve under Provost
Marshal Crowder in Washington.

RULES TO NEW ARMY
DRAFTED MEN ARE TOLD HOW
TO REPORT FOR DUTY.
Recruits for National Army Will Be
Summoned to the Colors
September I.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Local ex-
emption boards will be in full charge
of assembling the men called to the
colors September /. They will give the
new fighting force its actual induction
into military life, provide the men with
meals, shelter and transportation, and
escort them personally to the train for
the mobilization camps
Explicit regulations under which
the first segment of the national army
will be modified were issued by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder at
Washington.
The details of the program for mobil-
izing the first 100000 men called to the
colors September l and forwarded to
their camps before September are as
follows:
The actual call will go from the
adjutant general, stating the number
of men to be supplied. Each local
board will be at once informed Of how
many men it must furnish and the ad-
jutant general will fix the day for en-
training the men.
The local board at once will make
out the list of men to fill the call from
the roll of accepted men, and will fix
the place of entrainment and time of
departure.
Orders to the men will be posted
and also sent by mail. The men will
be directed to report to the local board
not less than II hours before the time
of departure for camp.
Before the men arrive at board
headquarters the board members must
arrange for their accommodation.
At board headquarters at the hour
fixed for reporting the men will be
drawn up, the roll called and agents
will take them personally to their quar-
tiers, remaining with them until every
arrangement for their comfort has
been made. Emphatic notice is given
that the quality OF food shall be good.
For each district five alternates will
be summoned. They will be held at
the assembling point until train time
to fill in vacancies should any men of
the levy fail to report.

TROOPS GIVEN BIG SEND.OFF
Ten Thousand Kenosha Citizens Gath
- er at Station to Bid Farewell
'Ts to Company M.

Kenosha-Kenosha had the biggest
patriotic celebration in its history
when 10000 people gathered at the
Northwestern station to say farewell
TO Company NJ of the Fourth Wiscon-
sin infantry which left for camp.
Hundreds of dollars for a mess fund
were thrown on a big American flag
carried by members of the Kenosha
boy scouts. The baggage car was
filled with presents for the soldiers
from members of the Red Cross and
patriotic citizens. Grub enough to
feed the regiment" was the way Capt.
Edward Dayton put it.
/ The departure of the troops was de-
layed for an hour after the schedule

of German control, political or mill
tary.
The same principle of unincumbered
freedom in its full sense, he says,
should prevail in regard to every DOW
er and nation. Not only must French
territory now occupied by Germany be
restored to France, he says, but on
the other hand, all German colonies
which have been occupied by England,
Portugal, Belgium and Japan should
be returned to Germany.
Would Hear Voice of People.
The more difficult question of Italia
Irredenta, the pope thinks, should be
examined in a spirit of Cancellation and
fairness and that a special considera-
ton in the settlement should be given
to national aspirations.
Likewise does the pope hold that the
complex questions involved in readjust-
ment of the Balkan states should be
considered in the same spirit of equity
and justice. He has especially in mind
Armenia, the Balkans and Poland, and
the intimation conveyed is that these
questi3ns can safely be dealt with by
direct diplomatic exchanges between
the belligerents, once an agreement is
reached upon the general principles of
recognition of national aspirations and
justice.
The state department acknowledges
that it received unofficial knowledge Of
the peace proposals before the news
dispatches. were received here. No Of
fetal cognizance can be taken of it I'M
til the proposal is conveyed officially.
Whatever consideration is given to it
will be after consultation with the en-
tente allies.
Within the entente diplomatic circle
tl.a opinion was freely and promptly
expressed that the peace proposal was
inspired by Germany and was an at
tempt to split the allies in a conflict
ing discussion Of their war aims.

FOOD DEPARTMENT
At WISCONSIN FAIR
no BRING PRODUCER AND CON-
sUMER TOGETHER BY
MEANS OF EXHIBIT.
no SHOW FINISHED PRODUCT
Visitors Will Be Given Opportunity to
See Yield of Soil Prepared,
Packed and Made Ready
for the Table.

I Milwaukee-One of the new depart
dnents in connection with the state
fair will be that of markets, food and
public health. This department will
be under the supervision of Fred w.
Luening of Milwaukee. Those who
have discussed the plans as arranged
by Oliver E. Remey, secretary, believe
that the department has great posi-
Utilities.
1t proposes to bring together the
producer and consumer, buyer and
seller. 1t will give the producing agri-
cultural interests in the state COM
prehensive view of the markets of the
state, and it will give the markets op-
portunity to establish relations with
producers. Food and its production
and handling, as well as its relation to
health, will have large place in the
exhibit.
Z The exhibit proposes to show the
states people the finished product =
the results of Wisconsin's agricultural
efforts plus the efforts of the states
industries, which have prepared, pack
led and made ready for the table the
products of the soil. The enormity of
Athe industries related to agriculture
meat packing, canning, milk condens-
Ding, retail dairying, sugar making, etc.
Should prove revelation to the
fairs visitors.
Markets and their needs will be de-
picted. The farmer may study them
and judge where lie his best opportu-
mites. The housewife may learn some
thing of the economies of buying. The
industries themselves may have means
of coming into contact with both the
producer and the consumer.

VALUE GARDENS AT $4,000
Racine Vacant Lots Now Producing
Valuable Crops Plans Being
Made for Next Season.

Racine - Vacant lots which previ-
ously bore only an annual plentiful
crop of weeds, tin cans, broken bot
ties and old bedsprings, now produce
crops which, if sold at present
prices, would average $35 per garden,
and many would run as high as $40
and S45. The paintings vary from
corn to radishes, some having six or
seven varieties, all in a fine state of
production.
The approximate total valuation of
the gardens under the supervision Of
the park board is estimated from $10,-
COO to $4,000. This does not include
the gardens donated by factories for
the use of employees or the countless
private gardens.
This fall the gardens will be plowed
for the following spring and many of
the disadvantages encountered this
year will thus be avoided. Standing
water, which rose to a height of sew
eral feet on large sections of the gar
dens, and did not recede for several
weeks, retarded the planting of the
low lands.
All things considered, this venture
has proved highly successful and va
cant lots hereafter should continue to
be productive of foodstuffs.

LOWDEN WINS FIGHT ON COAL
Complete Safeguards Against
Extortionate Costs.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Coal prices in
Illinois are to go tumbling.
Illinois citizens are assured a boun-
teous supply of coal.
The state now has "coal dictator"
He is Chief Justice Orrin N Carter
of the state supreme court.
Illinois coal mine operators threw
up their hands in. absolute surrender
of Gov. Frank o, Lowden at midnight
Friday after five-hour grueling con-
ference at the Blackstone hotel
1t was sweeping victory for the
governor Lone-handed, behind locked
doors, he fought. In the end there
came complete surrender.
Epitomized here is the agreement:
1. Illinois coal is to be conserved for
nlinois-it is not to go to other states
paying higher prices.
2. At once the retailer is to be
placed under fire and must reduce his
prices to the consumers and with a big
slash.
g. Chief Justice Carter, as director
of COAL" is to decide all questions as
to production. He is empowered to
fix prices at which coal shall be sold

WILL EXPERIMENT
IN ROAD BUILDING
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONS AIM is
TO FIND BEST MATERIAL
AND METHODS.
STRAW CARPET WILL BE USED
Novel Plan to Be Tried Out on Sandy
Roadbeds - Metal Reinforce
ment in Concrete viii
Also Be Used.

Madison-Tc find the best roadbuild-
ing materials and the best methods of
road maintenance for the 5000 miles
of state trunk line highways which it
will assume charge of next year, the
Wisconsin state highway commission
has decided to conduct some unusual
experiments in roadbuilding and road
maintenance this season.
The most novel of these will be the
placing of carpet of old straw, hay or
grass on the sand roads near Rio, Co.
lumbia county, and bind and preserve
the carpet with road oil and asphalt
UNI. Another experiment, which will
be carried on in Milwaukee county,
will be the use of metal reinforcement
in concrete roads, the purpose being
to prevent concrete from cracking and
to reduce the cost of material by us
ing less cement, which has doubled
in price during the three years past
Still another experiment will be in
the construction and maintenance of
macadam roads between Baraboo and
Kilbourn, different sizes of stone and
different binders being used on SINH
lar distances of the road.

ing positions held by the Germans on
the Westhoek ridge, the official state
ment adds.
Paris, Aug. 13.-The French forces
made further progress against the Ger
man positions on the Belgian front
on Friday. The Frenchmen broke into
the German lines, occupied several
farms to the east of Bixschoote and
west of Langemarck, and captured
number of machine guns, according to
the official statement given out by the
French war department.
North of ST. Quentin the Germans
attacked the French positions along a
front of nearly mile in the region of
Fayet. The French statement says
the assault was repulsed.
