FACES LABOR CRISIS
Barred Zone for Alien Enemies Pre-.
sents Grave Problem in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis. June 9.-Milwau-
kee faces a labor crisis in dealing
with alien enemies.
1t is authoritatively estimated that
there are approximately 10000 alien
enemies in Milwaukee alone and more
than $4,000 in southeastern Wiscon-
sin.
Hundreds are to be found in line
each day at the federal building seek
ing permits to work within or pass
thru barred zones which are to be es-
tablished around scores of factories,
buildings and government property.
Applications of about 1000 aliens
have already been made out and hun
dreds more are under consideration
That hundreds, perhaps thousands
will be unable to get in permits is
taken as a matter of course. When
the barred zones are prescribed and
scores prevented from entering their
places of employment, authorities
look for trouble

Big Batch of Opinions Is
Handed Down Today.

The supreme court today cut $500
off the obligations of the directors of
the Topeka Baseball association. In
an opinion modifying the decision of
the Shawnee county district court, the
supreme court held that the German
American bank should credit the ST.
500 sale price to John Savage in dis
posing of a total claim of $14, 500.
Action of the supreme court deter

favor of the plaintiff for one-seventh

ISOLATION The court, however, decid-
ed that directors should be given
credit for the sale price to Savage, fol-
lowing the sale of the assets of the
association to the bank at mortgage
sale.
Directors Backed Paper.
When affairs of the Topeka Western
league baseball club went badly in
1912. the state banking department
found the German-American bank was
carrying the associations paper in the
amount of $4,000. The bank commits
sioner then directed that additional
security should be provided or the
bank. 1t was following this demand
that the seven directors of the bank
entered into a contract to Jointly bear
their share of the financial obligations
of the baseball organization.
Henry Auerbach, a director, did not
sign the agreement. altho he deposited
with the bank funds sufficient to meet
his share of the obligation. Auerbach
made subsequent deposits to cover a
portion of the increasing debts, altho
il was alleged in the trial of the case
that his deposits were not equal to
one-seventh of the debts of the base
ball club.
Borrowed More Money.
After the first agreement was sign
ed, the directors borrowed an addi-
tional $1,000 in two separate loans.
In a suit against Woodward, the
bank recovered Judgment for one
seventh of the obligations of the club.
The testimony showed that the assets
of the club had been sold at mortgage
sale for $1,000 and later sold to John
Savage for $500. Savage didn't
transfer much actual cash. He gave

WAR BREAD WITH SPUDS
AND SOME OTHER STUFF

SPOKANE-A war bread" which
really combines nutrition with pala-
liability and attractiveness has been
invented by Charles L. Laperrugue,
Spokane chef. The economy comes in
the fact that the product is simply
stale bread ground up and added to
potatoes and three per cent wheat
flour. In appearance the result is like
a graham loaf and the taste is similar
The Davenport hotel is serving the
war bread and receiving many favor
able comments on it. The state food
administration has indorsed the pro-
duct, and will call upon the people of
the northwest to adopt it to conserve

we will not raise as much as we did

TEACH SOLDIES TO SING
AN IMPORTANT WAR MOVE

SAN FRANCISCO-Uncle Sans new
national army is to be a singing army,
according to Lieutenant Richard E..
Byrd, U. S. N, now in the west in the
interest of the war-camp community
recreation service.
Experience has shown that singing
adds materially to the morale of the
troops. Many a commander has said
that he does not fear the outcome
when an army goes into battle sing
ing. A German regiment on the march
will sing in way to make ones hair
stand on end. The men will swing
along to a German song that runs for
six beats, and then will stop abrupt
ly for two beats, and sing for four
beats more and then stop for four
beats. Germans are just as efficient
in their singing as they are in their
fighting.
Every national resource that we
have in the way of ragtime songs will
be needed when we meet the trained
singing soldiers of the kaiser, and as
we learn from them in trench fighting,
so we must learn from them in this.
Into each of the 80 or more camps
throughout the United States there is
to be sent a singing instructor who !
will teach them not church hymns,
but ragtime tunes of their own selec-
