and in the Institutions with which he
has been connected. Now through
the medium Of the lecturer platform

tion. He was largely responsible for
the passing of a law in Michigan that
has greatly improved prison condi
tions there
Lectures such as The Shackles of
the World justify the existance of
the lyceum. and the committee are to
be commended for bringing Chaplain

fire and bayonets. These are only
few things we face to begin our pic
mic celebration, and of course, Fritz
(meaning the enemy, has the same
advantage of the picnic that we do,
but each side does its utmost to give
the other the warmest reception: so
putting both sides together we have
a hot old time. Ha, Ha-
| suppose you have read all about
the big event the Canadian corps
pulled off on April 9, the Vinny Ridge
battle. Well, I was there and shall
never forget the date This was reg
istered as the greatest of great bat
ties fought in the history of the
world to the present date. It was
great too for those who came safely
out of it. The artillery firing was so
fierce that rat could hardly live
under it. The ground was churned up
for miles and when the shells struck
they made small craters in the earth
There wasn't a blade of grass to be
seen when we reached our objective
[ guess Fritz can tell something
about this great day as he was sure
out of luck and he sure had his
trenches we'll manned. There were
about six million of shells fired that
day from our side alone, so you can
judge of the noise-a regular insane
Fourth of July, and I am puzzled
how anybody came out of it alive.
Our casualty list was not nearly so
great as before the scrap it was es-
timated it might be. We were on the
offensive and the defensive side suf-
fered most tremendous loss. Usu-
ally the offensives lose the most men.
Whatever we took from the enemy
we held. That is the motto of the
Canadian corps. Our offensives this
year have been successful and we
have not lost an inch of ground once
gained. Counter attack after counter
attack usually followed drive but

ANOTHRER GREAT NOUN.
TAIN RANGE CONQUERED
BY ELECTRICITY

The mighty Rockies, the belts and
the Bitter Roots have bowed their
lofty heads before the onward prog
fess of men. The limitless energy of
their tumbling cataracts has been har-
messed to furnish power for the giant
electric locomotives that haul the
trains of the "Milwaukee Road" across
their rugged slopes.
And now another great mountain
range-the snow capped Cascades in
Washington-has felt the hand of the
conqueror. The work of electrifying
the 211 miles of line thru this range
is well under way. When completed
the milwaukee," will have 651 miles
Of it's main transcontinental line under
electrical operation.
Mountain travel is given a new
charm-no smudge of smoke paints
it's black line across snow clad vistas
travel is clean, smooth, silent.
When next you journey to Butte,
Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, Portland
and other Pacific Northwest cities
travel the electric way-via the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway.

Fritz has always had to give in.

Fritz has always had to give in.
| don't know what will be the out
come of this war, but it is no govern
ment affair now. It's past the geo
graphy and history making sport. It
is a terrible manslaughter. It's UP
to the fighting nations now to crush
Fritz for his outrageous and inhu-
man slaughter. If you were here and
could see both sides as we do, you
would quite agree that it is a reg
ular massacre of humanity-of men,
women and children, along with the
destruction of untold millions of dol
lars worth of property. Years ago
men fought square-man to man, but
the present war is much different.
We not only fight man to man now,
but when one of the monster cannons
explods you would think whole
iron foundry was dropping from the
heavens. Then arial bombs and poi
sonous gases are shot at you, both
from gas tanks when the wind is
favorable, and from large shells
which are timed to explode when they
drop over ones lines. Today we are
fighting with aeroplanes, and Yep
pelins in the air, sea planes on the
water and with submarines and tor
pedoes under the water, artillery
cavalry and infantry on the earth,
and mines planted underground
ready to blow up whole sections of
armies. | ask where else in the world
is there left a chance for a square
fight? When one thinks of the
danger he has to face here it makes
his blood run cold. When you see
your good old pal or chum lying
lifeless on the ground and don't know
when you will follow him, I tell you
it makes you think of your past. Oh,
the day will come when peace will
be declared and the whole world will
rejoice and it will be a binding
peace which will be better than just

ter starts, and it looks quite favor
able, too. l hope the boys from
home who did their bit by signing
up when duty called them, will not
have to come overseas. They deserve
credit whether they see actual ser
vice or not, and if peace comes before
they arrive in France, |, for one,
would give them a glad hand just as
quickly as | would to those who had
been at the front. Their spirit is in
a good cause and for humanity Fritz
will tumble to his big mistake some
day, but it will be a dear lesson to
him. Oh, if you people could only see
what | have seen every day and night
for nine months, you would have the
same opinion as l have that for hu-
manity's sake and eternal peace,
Fritz must be crushed
l haven't seen any Of the Sammies
yet, but there are some in training
somewhere here IN France. Would
like to see them, but it's hard telling
whether we will meet or not Well,
Charles, have written quite a little
and don't know if the censor will let
it go thru or not, so will trust to luck
in your receiving it, and if you do
| will try to write again in the near
future. | send my hearty greetings
to all, and in hopes of seeing peace
come before long so that l may be
able to spend Christmas with my
family and friends in New Lisbon
and the prospects look better to me
now than ever.

AMERICAN
RED Cross
Washington, D. c., Sept.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 9.
Henry p Dawson, as Chairman, to-
day issued on behalf Of the War COun-
ell of the American Red Cross a re-
port to the American people concern
ing the activities of the American Red
Cross in Europe since war with Ger
many was declared The report is as
follows:
To The American People:
The policy of the War Council of
the American Red Cross is to report
frequently to the American people
concerning the use which is being
made of all Red Cross money.
1t is important that the American
people should know in detail what the
Red Cross is doing, why it is doing it,
and how it is doing it. That is why
the work so far undertaken in Eur
ope is set forth herewith, both as to
personnel and performance, in consid-
cradle detail
The War Council Of the American
Red Cross, since its appointment on
May 10th, appropriated up to and in
Guiding Aug. 81, the sum of $12, $780,
681.87 for work in Europe, of which
$10.692, 6O1 is for use in France.
The purposes of the overseas APP
preparations may be roughly CLASH
fed as follows:
Cd To do everything possible to
assist our Army and Navy in insur-
ing the health and comfort Of Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors abroad.
(2) To relieve restitution and suf-
fering among the armies and needy
civil populations of our allies.
THE WAR FUND
In response to the appeal of the
States, President Of the United States
the American people during Red Cross
Week subscribed upward of 100000

ARPlN JEWISH
PEOPLEDEDICATE
new Church
From Marshfeld Herald

rom HarSn06lQ Herald
The first Jewish church to be built
in Wood County was dedicated last
Sunday in most fitting manner. The
new edifce, which is quite small and
simple in construction, is located near
the site Of old Arpin, near where a
dozen or more well-to-do Jewish fam
lilies reside.
It will be remembered that years
ago a Mr.. A. w. Rich of Milwaukee
bought a large tract of land and foun-
ded a colony there. The scheme did
not turn out as hoped for and after
several years residence all moved a
way. 4 second colony was formed,
but that, like the first, proved a fail
ure and so now a third colony is on
the scene and with energy and pluck
are prosperous farmers. One of the
number, perhaps more prosperous
than the rest, is receiving a monthly
milk check of $240. The others are
doing equally as well only on a small
Ter scale.
They needed a church, a place of
worship, and the twelve families To-
Gated there, conservatively planned to
erect one and last Sunday it was ded-
icated. They did not figure on the help
that has come to them from outside
sources, or the building might have
been more pretentious.
There were present at the dedication
prominent Jewish people from Wau-
sau, Stevens Point and Marshfeld who
opened their purse strings with the
result that over $1,000 was subscribed
to help pay for and furnish the church
One member of the colony is Rabbi,
who will have charge of the services
which will be held on each Saturday
Of the week.

SPLENDIDLETTER

written by one Of Americas brave
young men, now in the trenches, and
the Reporter has had the pleasure to
read:
Somewhere in France, Aug. s, IT.

Dear Sir:-Just a few lines to let

feeling fine. l have just been read
ing the Times-Argus which | receive
from my wife, and in reading of the
homecoming | thought [ would write

the occasion as I know it must have
been great success, as New Lisbon
never starts anything like that with

Gus pleasure.
Tells of Pleasures at the Front
Well, I will try and describe lit
tie of the pleasures (?) we have to
endure and enjoy CD here in France
have been in the trenches a little
over nine months up to the present
date, so have seen a little of this
worlds terrible war. Some people
might think it is regular picnic to
be in the firing line, where there is
all kinds Of excitement, and some
thing happening all the time Well,
for me it is very poor place to en-
JOY this picnic. I could enjoy picnic
much better in Smart's grove in good
old New Lisbon, than l ever could
here in France Here are a few of
the things We enjoy daily for OUR
picnic: Whiz bangs five, nine, nine
two-ffteen inches and a number Of
other calibre stuff, besides minnie
waters, rum jars, arial torpedoes,

saeef tha extraordinary hsedA This saf
has developed. Practically this ehtire
! sum was subscribed thru Red Gross
chapters during Red Cross Week and
upon the condition that the local chap
| tiers might retain for purposes Of mil
itary relief to be expended by them,
not to exceed 25 per cent. of the total
subscribed. In some instances chap
ters have not felt the need Of retain
| ing any part of the subscription raised
thru them.
About S 100000 of the subscrip-
ton made during Red Cross Week has
now been paid in. It is at this time
impossible to forecast the total amount
of the War Fund which will be avail
able for expenditure by the War Coun-
Gil.
The pledging of so large sum
clearly betokened the desire of the A
merican people that the Red Cross
should measure up to the extraordin-
airy demand upon merciful effort ere
ated by this the most tragic of all
wars.
Behind this contribution of money
stand the 1921, 900 members of the
American Red Cross. The member
ship is constantly increasing, about
100000 names having been added
to the list during the last month.
These members, organized into 24OJ
chapters, are not only ready but arr
actually doing their part in the WOO
task the American Red Cross has IN
dertaken
Obviously the great work under
taken by the Red Cross could not be
accomplished without such support,
aud while this statement will deal ex-
clusively with the work in Europe and
largely with the subject of appropri-
alton of monies the Importance of the
making and furnishing of supplies by
the women of the country must not
be figured as in any sense secondary.
In subsequent statement it is pur
posed to deal with this important sub
ject.
The Red Cross has not yet finally
determined its complete program of
action, but at all times work which it
NAV be called upon to do for our own
Army and Navy will have first place
in its consideration. Just what the
Red Cross may be called upon to do
for the American Army here and a
broad cannot be fully determined I'M
til camps and environments in this
country have been in operation, and
more of our Army has arrived in
France.
The War Council has been impress
ed with the preparations made by the
War and Navy Departments to care
for the health and safety of the men
composing our armed forces, but the
American Red Cross regards it as an
obligation to have available at all
times a sufficient portion of its funds
to enable it to perform any relief or
emergency service for our own sol
diers and sailors that may be needed.
The Need of Our Allies.
The need of our work among the ar
mics and civilians of our allies is so
vast that no definite plans can be laid
out pending a complete firsthand re-
port, not of the needs-they are with
out limit-but of what it is practical
for the Red Cross to do.
