First Consideration - Philip
Pledges Aid to Secure
Farm Hands.

Madison Under instructions and
suggestions from Washington, Gov T.
l.. Philip took up the preliminary
work of preparing for Wisconsin's con-
tribution to the world war.
In response to telegram, which
closely followed confidential letter
received from Secretary of War Baker
several dayS ago, the governor began
study of the state and its county
and city divisions 10 prepare for the
draft which is to begin within few
days.
With the commissioner of agricul-
ture he took up details in connection
with an appeal made by telegram from
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to en-
list boys of the proper age to work on
the farms.
While the Importance of the agricul-
tural side of the war has not been
overlooked, the aid to the military de-
partment of the nation will be given
first consideration, for the government
has outlined a plan which demands
speed No expense is to be spared or
physical exertion denied which will re-
suit in action.
The government expects to have the
first registration for the draft of $780,
900 men start within eight days after
the president signs the draft bill This
signature may be placed upon the bill
at any moment The importance of
working out details so that Wisconsin
will be among the first to respond has
been impressed upon all the state de-
partments which contribute to them
by the governor.
Under the draft of 100000 men Wis
consin will be called upon to furnish,
in addition TO the National Guard
strength of 5000 men, about 1880
soldiers. The total for the state,
therefore, will be about 10000 men.
Before the national defense act, which
raised the National Guard peace
strength to 10000 and the war
strength to 10000. was passed year
ago. Wisconsin had about 1000 men
