CLEARY ASKS MORE CAUTION
Sends Out Appeal to Wisconsin Peo-
pie to Guard Against Loss of Food
and Equipment from Fire.

Madison - Declaring that three
fourths of the fires in the state, which
caused loss of $88S,765 in agricul-
tural produce alone during 1916, could
have been prevented by ordinary care
and watchfulness, M. J. Cleary, state
insurance commissioner, has issued an
appeal to the people of the state to
give every precaution this year to
guard against loss of food and equip
ment so necessary at this time in the
successful prosecution of the war.
The fire marshal says that lightning
still is the farmers worst enemy, but
declares that it can be robbed of its
sting by good lightning rod system,
properly installed and well grounded.
Attention is called to the danger of
allowing children to play with
matches, smoking in farm buildings
and around stacks, carelessness with
lamps, lanterns, gasoline, defective
stovepipes, refuse, and other fire haz-
ards.

STORM DOES HEAVY DAMAGE
Property Loss Estimated at $4,000
Fifteen Persons Injured - Two
Trains Ditched by Washouts.

Administrations persons were
injured, hundreds were driven from
their homes, bridges were destroyed,
steam and electric roads undermined,
barns and outbuildings swept away by
scores, nine places hit by lightning,
and an estimated property loss of
100000 is the toll exacted by the
storm which struck Milwaukee and
vicinity.
The swollen waters of the Menomo-
nee river reached heights of twenty
five and thirty feet at Pigsville and
Wauwatosa, where the greatest loss
was entailed.
Six hundred feet of the Milwaukee
road track was washed out east of
Wyocena and the Pioneer Limited,
which left Portage at midnight, went
into the ditch near the station at Rio
The engine and one car were buried
, in the mud sand and water. No one
was injured.
The engine and four cars of the
Portage-Horicon combination passen-
ger train went into the ditch near
Pardeeville, on the northern division
of the Milwaukee road, and the Madi-
son-Portage train was held in the lat
ter city several hours on account of
washout at Silicaville. 1t was report
ed that about thirty miles of track be-
tween the two cities was under water.
The hail and rain were reported the
worst in the history of Portage. About
five inches of water fell, according to
the government weather bureau. No
serious damage resulted to crops, it
was reported

ASKS ALL TO DO THEIR BIT
Defense Council Urges All Whose
Time Is Not Fully Occupied to
Register With Labor Agent.

Madison-Idlers are slackers, The
moral tone of every community ought
to make it decidedly uncomfortable
for any idle person this season.
Such is the sentiment of the State
Council of Defense, which finds that
farmers throughout the state need ex-
ira help in cultivating and harvesting
crops. 1t also finds that experienced
farm help is not available. There are,
however. many boys and men whose
time is unoccupied or only partly
occupied. They are not doing their
full patriotic duty unless they are
busy all the time at some productive
employment.
The slogan of the State Council of
Defense is Every man on a job"
This means that all boys and young
men must work. 1t means that min
listers, business men, clerks, and 9TH
ers whose whole time is not occupied
must use their spare hours and days
and their vacation periods.
Let every such person register with
the labor agent of his County Council
of Defense. Then let him work when
he is notified that his services are
needed.
There are jobs for all, and to spare.
Don't be Stacker!

seaoianes Fold Their Winos

Owing to the large number of sea-
planes employed by the entente naval
forces in the present war, especially in
the waters of the near East, the Brit
ish and French aircraft designers
have developed a special type of n.y.
droplane provided with folding wings,
notes the Scientific American. This
feature results in great saving of
space on board a warship or special
mother ship when a large number of
seaplanes are carried. The wings are
hinged TO the fuselage so that they can
be swung back when the craft is 10 be
stored away, yet the seaplane can be-
made ready and equipped for sustained
service in the space of few minutes
by the aviator and his corps of as

WAR DEPARTMENT
UPHOLDS HOLWAY
POSITION TAKEN BY STATE ADJ
JuTANT GENERAL rs FULLY
JUSTIFIED.
CONTROVERSY OVER SALARY
Members of Wisconsin National Guard
in Training at Fort Sheridan Will
Receive Pay at Rate of
500 Month.

Macison-Adjutant General Holway
received a telegram from Adjutant
General H. G. d. Heistand, through
Gen. Barry, who is in command of the
central department, United States
army, informing him that members of
the Wisconsin national guard, both In
the federal service and not III the fed
eral service who are attending the
officers training camp at Fort Sheri-
dan, Ill, will receive pay at the rate
of S100
This notice from the war depart
ment at Washington completely sus-
talns the position taken by Gen. Hol-
way over the controversy arising from,
the refusal of the quartermaster at
Chicago in Withholding the pay OF
wisconsin guardsmen at Fort Sheri-
dan. The officers in charge of the
training camp contended that the Wis
consin guardsmen were not entitled to,
pay at 800 month because they had
not been discharged from the guard.
The adjutant general called their at
tentlOn to an order of the war depart
ment issued on May s, providing that
national guardsmen at training camps
were entitled to pay at 800 a month.
He also called their attention to the
fact that the Wisconsin guardsmen
had been furloughed by him for three
months to attend the training camp at
Fort Sheridan and therefore they
stood on the same footing as private
persons enrolled at the training camp
and were entitled to compensation of
500 month. -
The telegram from the war depart
ment at Washington stated that EUR
Laughed men who are members of the
national guards not in federal service
will receive pay of 500 a month and
enlisted men of the regular army and
of the national guard in federal serv-
ice are entitled to pay of their grades
to the official date of entering the
camp any pay at the rate of 500 a
month from that time until officially
separated from the camp"
Gen. Holway was reluctant to dis
charge any of the Wisconsin guards
men attending the training camp until
he was assured they would receive
commissions in the regular army, be-
cause If they were discharged and
were unable to secure commissions
they would be lost to the national
guard because many of them would be
disqualified on account of age and dis
abilities from re-enlisting.

 As made public tonight by the American committee it is as follows:
 His majesty's government views with favor the establishment in Pal estine of national home for the Jew ish people, and will use it's best en- deavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly under stood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and re- ligious rights of existing non-Jew- ish committees in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other countries"
