WISCONSIN COWS ENLIST.

Judging from the reports OF Wiscon-
sin COW testers the dairymen OF the
state are enlisting their cows In the
Army Of the Commissary. One would
not think the gentle and mild manner
ed COW an important factor in war,
yet when success may depend on avail
able food, who can say how important
it may be to convert roughage into
palatable and nutritious food TO
strengthen and support the men be-
hind the gun. Every increase in the
production of food is potential in
crease in the chances for victory.
The COW testing association is one OF
the most important factors which enter
into the increased production OF milk,
| for it secures better feed and care for
the cows, eliminates the "slackers"
from the herds, gives the patriots"
in the herd better chance, raises up
the daughter Of the patriots" to take
the places left by the "deserters" and
the "slackers', gives General Bull" a
chance TO prove his right TO head the
herd, and on the part OF the owner
arouses enthusiasm and interest in the
business and stimulates cooperative
effort.
Reports from 60 testers on the pro-
duction of the 25,078 cows they tested
last month, show that 2, Alb Of this num-
Der produced over 40 pounds OF fat
during that time. The average OF the
high cows, one from each association,
was 50 pounds of fat. Fat, fat, fat,
more fat" was the cry OF Won linden
berg. 1t should also be the aim OF
every dairyman in the state, for to
make more food at this ii me is not
only profitable but exceedingly patri-
otto.
Our own Manitowoc County Cow
Testing Association, which includes
cows in 8 out of the Is towns OF our
county had Y out of AIS COWS with
monthly butter-fat records Of over 40
lbs. And even though this is good
average il compared with the other
associations in the state, we are not
satisfied, as we are sure the cows OF
Manitowoc County can do much better
if given the proper care and feed.
Torris Geraldson's herd OF - regis
tered Hosteins had the highest herd
average for production, ll4l lbs. of
milk, and 1925 lbs. OF butterfat for
last month. Patrick Cahil & Sons
herd OF % grade Hosteins, average
LAG lbs. Of milk, and Ais lbs. butter
fat.
William Kelly is owner OF the three
highest producing cows. His grade
Holstein "Snider" produced 1913 lbs.
of butterfat, and his two pure bred
Holsteins made records of 68 and 65.3
lbs of butterfat.

 "The matter having been beought to my notice, caused special agent Of the department of justice to investi- gate the facts and circumstances sur- rounding the aforementioned transac- ton, The agent found that it was true that Lefkowitz had taken this sum of money and that he refused to. return the same.
 T enclose herewith affidavit of zeilnfck setting forth the facts already recited.
 Upon every questiennaire appears a statement to the effect that the regis trant should not fill out any question before consulting a member of the le- gal advisory board. It Is also plainly stated in large type that all advice is free.
 Practices of this sort seriously re- fleet upon the proper administration of the seIective service law and work against the very objects which the President sought to attain in provid- ing for the creation of legal advisory boards.

IMPEDING DRAFT,
 CHARGE AGAINST
 GERMANS IN N. Y.

New York, Dec. 22-What Federal officials believe is the work of Ger man prepagandists operating among the poor and ignorant registrants for the draft on the East Side has been brought to the attention of Mayor Mitchell by United States District At torney Caffey for this district. MT. Caffey's complaint has to do with the fees netaries and lawyers are charging for services rendered the registrants. This is being done in spite of the printed notice on all the question. naires that such services can be op- tained free of charge at all district boards and from the legal, advisory board attached to the office of the Director of the Draft.
 MT. Caffey, besides citing a specific case in his letter to Mayor Mitchell, says he has evidence of several other cases which he will be glad to turn over. to the mayor.
 The Federal authorities are con- vinced that German propagandists are active among residents of the East Side and that they seek advice from the local boards or the local advisory committee they will be railroaded into service without chance to save themselves through exemption clauses or because of physical de- fects It Is said that many youths of the East Side have become so ter rorized through the activities of these German agents that they have fled the city and are now being sought as fugitives.
 MT. Caffey in his letter to the mayor had this to say:
 T beg to bring to your attention the result of my investigation of the actions of one Sam I4efkowitz, a com missioner of deeds of the City of New York, whose office Is at 226 East Seventh street New York, N. Y.
 "One Moses Zellnick is a person reg istered under the selective service act of May IS, 1917. On December IS, 1917, Zellniclz received his question naire from the local board and being i1literate he took it to the office of Lefkowitz for the purpose of receiv- ing assistance in the filling out of the uuestionnaire. Lefkowitz demanded $5 for so doing and for administering the oath, but he finally agreed to ac- cept $4, which Zellnick paid. The pament of this sum of money by Zell- nick came to the attention of Arthur O. Ernst, chairman of the legal advis- ory board for that district, and MT.

10000 GUNS LOST TO US. BY RED TAPE

Washington. Dec. 22,-The govern ments reluctance to adopt the Lewis machine gun was described at length today by B. B. Borde. manufacturing head of the Savage Arms Co, the American makers, testifyiag at the senate n1iiitary conamittee's inzesti- gallon of the shortage in army SUD- piles.
 When the Mexican border trouble began Mr. Bor1e said, he offered l,5oO Lewis guns to the war department, but got an order for only $50 to use British taHnznunition. Before the United States entered the war he offered Lew, is guns to the war department and was refused orders, but got them from the navy department, he said:
 T went to the war department in February" he continued, ttbut they would not do anything until after the tests ordered for May (wEen the new Browning gun was asdopted). The navy department also did not want to place any order at that time until after the war departments tests, but d1d order some gun mounts
 After war broke out we again of. fered guns to the war department and were told again that the, tests would be awaited. The navy depart ment and the marine corps, however. ordered special test. They did not want to wait for the war department tests and we had a. test for the navy April 5. It was successful, Admiral Earle and Gen. Barnett said. The test was so successful that the navy ordered on April 20. $500 guns inside of three weeks Admiral Earle and Gen, Barnett said they did not want to wait any longer under the condi- tions.S
 On April 12, he said, the war depart ment ordered 1900 Lewis guns to use with American ammunition, before the official test was held, Ion the strength of the navy test"
 If the war department had accepted the original offer and saved time needed for manufacture, Mr Borie said. it could have had 1000 more machine guns early in the war.

She sank by the head, few minutes after the captain got aboard a patrol boat. All passengers were saved. but 10 members of the crew are missing and are supposed to have been killed by the explosion.
 ''The torpedo boat destroyers,, over loaded with survivors, renewed the attack on the submarine under water and then on the surface when she ap- peared for an instant, only to sub- merge again precipitately under fire of the guns of the destroyers. Two seaplanes then bombed her. The slib- marine probably had been struck by a shell so as to make 1t impossible for her to remain submerged, for she ap- peared once again and was fmmed- lately covered by a rain of shells. One of her gunners was swept over board by shen in the act of aiming his piece and all the others jumped into the sea while the submarine sank like a stone, torn to pieces by French guns.

 There were no shots fired on the street by any policeman"
 Policeman Sherwood said that Pan- hill came running toward him near Gilbert street as Sherwood was rum ming down Gilbert street after stop ping the fire apparatus. He was with Policemen Arnolsky, Quinlivan and Mccarthy, although he was not sure Mccarthy was there when Pannill came up or not.
 Sherwood was positive he heard no shots fired until after Pannill had been taken away. He lay upon the platform at Miner, Read & Tullock's for several minutes, and was then helped to Chief Beardsley's automo- bile. Mccarthy came while he was there and aided in placing him in the machine. Pannill knew Mccarthy and spoke to him. Sherwood said.
 'I saw hand come out of the window, and that was when the first shots heard were fred he con- tiued. "Pannill had been taken away. There were no policemen in sight be- tween the corner of Gilbert street and the club. There were no shots fired there, as there was no one to fire them. I heard Doll call Burns a vile name, and Burns asked him to come out. Right after that I heard the shots fired into the building. Pannill had been taken away before these shots were fired, and there was no one be- tween Gilbert street and the club"
 Policeman Michael Arnolsky said: "I was at Gilbert and Water streets when Pannill came along holding his hands in the air and staggering. He leaned against the platform on Gil- bert street and then fell over, saying he was hurt He called me by name and said, I'm shot in the stomach I helped lay him upon the platform. Then he asked Mccarthy to have him taken to a hospital. He said he was shot inside when asked him where he was shot. heard three shots fired.
