Rritlsh PIanes RuIe Alr.

Fer month past. but especially
since June l. the airplanes on this
front have been indefatigably nj work
during every possible flying hour.
They had brought down nearly 10 ma
chimes in six days rs Il means Of blind
ing the enemy. Lately the Germans
have endeavered valiantly 10 obtain
airplane observations for their artil-
Iely, but their observing machines
have seldom been able To direct more
than one or two shots before the Brit
/ ish fighting scouts had pouneed upon
them and either sent them crashing 70
the earth or had driven them to cover
nj breakneck speed.
Today the British planes flew far
and long over the enemy's retreating
lines and were only challenged by
some very bad-shootine anti-aircraft
batteries. All through the day British
planes ruled the air, They co-operated
actively with the British artillery and
infantry in maintaining the success Of
this brilliant episode in modern war
fare.

SEEK LOWER COAL PRICES
State Council of Defense Will Ask
Washington for, Immediate Action.
Shipments Below Normal

Madison-The state council of de-
tense will continue its efforts to help
force down the price of coal, that
subject being one of the important
ones considered at The weekly con-
ference.
Not only must the price be reduced
but there is great danger Of coal
famine if present conditions prevail.
Unless there is a speedy remedy ap-
piled the people of the northwest, es-
pecially of the region around Mime
sofa and the Dakotas which is sup
piled through Wisconsin distribution
points, will suffer greatly during the
coming winter.
The point is made now that while
navigation is open on the Great Lakes
the docks are empty or at least away
below the normal capacity While
navigation is open coal shipments
must continue at more than a normal
rate if the shortage of last winter is
to be made up. To the contrary, how
ever, shipments have been under nor
NAL thus far since the coal boats be-
gan to ply the Great Lakes. If this
situation continues the northwest
will have to depend upon all rail
shipments after navigation closes and
it is said that this will not take care
of the demand. The state council in
it's investigation has met with the ex-
cuse that car shortage between the
mines and the lake ports is RESPONSE
BILE for the present shortage

MISS LUSK TAKEN TO JAIL
covers from Self-lnfIicted Wounds
and Leaves Hospital.

Waukesha-Miss Grace Lusk, held
on a first degree murder charge in
connection with the death Of Mrs.
David Roberts, was removed from the
municipal hospital to the county Jail.
Miss Lusk~ has so far recovered
from her two self-inflicted bullet
wounds that she was able to walk to
and from the automobile which took
her to the jail She wept bitterly as
she was led into her room on the Sec
ond floor. A deputy sheriff removed
small wall mirror from the room,
and Miss Lusk smiled through her
tears as she told him she did not in
tend to commit suicide, but would see
the case against her through to a
finish"
Miss Lusk's quick recovery has
been somewhat of a surprise to the
officials, who thought she would re-
main at the hospital for much long
er period.
After the shooting of Mrs. Roberts,
wife of DIR. David Roberts, in Miss
Lusk's room on June 81, the school
teacher turned her revolver on her
self, inflicting two wounds, one just
above the lungs and one to one side.
She Is said to have expressed disap-
pointment when informed that the
wounds would not prove fatal.

-D0NNELLY MEASURE VETOED
Bill Is Opposed Because Charity Or
ganizations Were Not Exempt
Says the Governor.

Madison - Gov. Philip has vetoed
the Donnelly bill passed by the legis-
lature, restraining the alienation of
personal property for longer period
than during the time of the lives of
two persons in being and twenty-one
years after their death. The bill pro-
posed to place the same restraint on
the change of ownership of personal
property as is now on real property.
The measure would, If it became a
law, tend TO restrain the making of
longtime trusts of personal property.
The governor in his veto message said
that he objected to the bill because
charitable institutions and associa-
tons were not exempted from its pro-
visions, and because it would tend to
create much litigation to determine
whether it was valid, as a similar law
had created in New York state, where
litigants spent more than S1,000,000 in
lighting it in the courts and it was
still an open question as to the right
Of the state to enact a law containing
such harsh restrictions as did the
Donnelly bill.

CHANGE IN LIABILITY LAW
New Bill Makes Firm Responsible
for Injuries II Three Work
in Common.

Madison The two houses of the
Wisconsin legislature have passed a
bill providing that employers of~three
or more persons in common employ
ment shall be liable for personal in
juries of their employees. Under the
present law only employers of four
or more persons in common employ
ment are liable for such injuries.
The assembly amended and con-
Cured in the final correction bill of
the state reviser of the statutes,
which, among a large number OF
things, proposed to repeal two score
of obsolete special laws affecting the
government of the city of Milwaukee
The amendment adopted by the as
sembly struck out the repeal of these
old special laws.
The city attorney of Milwaukee was
not satisfied that it was best to repeal
all of the laws in question and at his
request the bill was amended so as
to eliminate that provision. Because
Gov. Philip has 10C bills yet to con-
slider and act on, it is not believed that
final adjournment of the legislature
can be taken until Saturday, July IA.
Gov. Philip has signed the mothers
pension measure, which grants aid to-,
mothers with young dependent chill
dren if the mother has been aban-
doned, as well as to those suing for
divorce or widowed.

MadiSon-Two new scholarships and
two new fellowships have just been
donated to the University of Wiscon-

work in the distilling of Monarda oil
in connection with its use in the man
ufacture of thymol Extensive re-

A fellowship OF $500 for research
work in physics was given to the uni
versity by the Cutler-Hammer manu-
featuring company of Milwaukee,

ship to initiate cooperation between

versity in working out problems of a
scientific nature.
The Madison branch of the Associa-
ton of Collegiate Alumnae established
a scholarship of 500 to be awarded

ship was awarded to Miss Esther A.

lege of letters and science.

Madison - The Wisconsin National
guard will not be modified until gov
eminent orders to that effect are re-
celved. The state would like to mobil-
lie the guard and have It in training
camps at the expense of the state.
This is the plan which Adjutant Gen.
eral Holway believes should be adopt
ed.
The ad1utant general would like to
have had the state troops in training
camps weeks ago, but inability to OBJ
tam Equipment has prevented. Even
with limited facilities. good deal has
been accomplished, and Adjt. Gen.
Holway says the infantry recruits, at
least. are going into camp in fairly
good shape. The cavalry and artillery
also have had some training
In Milwaukee. the cavalry troops
which have been organized have been
given some drill with the equipment
which has been furnished Company
A, and the men are going into camp
with at least some idea of the work
before them.
The artillery regiment is already at
Camp Douglas and it is understood the
government is furnishing equipment
so that the men are being given train
ing and are receiving work which will
put them on first class footing.
The Wisconsin regiments are all in
fine shape physically and there is no
question but that practically every
man who has enlisted in the Wiscon-
sin National guard will be mustered
into the federal service. Great care
has been taken in the selection of re-
cruits for the National guard and
practically all have passed physical
tests equal to that demanded by the
federal government
