BETHEL
Whitcomb High School Defeated Roches-
ter Independents to 8.

Whitcomb high school baseball team
defeated the Rochester Independents,
partly high school players, on the home
grounds yesterday in an interesting 10
inning game by a score of 0 to s. The
tenth inning was the shortest ever seen
on local diamond. Newton stepped to
the plate and knocked out double.
Jebb repeated the trick, scoring Newton
and the game was won. Since Swinyer
succeeded Epstein as moundsman for the
visitors in the seventh the locals had
been able to do nothing with his deliv-
cry. But for this quick conclusion the
result would have been indecisive, as a
heavy shower began the instant the win
ming run was made, which would have
stopped the game. E. c.. Mcintyre, who
still plays a good game on occasion, after
80 years experience as a player, umpired
satisfactorily. The score:

ITALY WINS WORLD HONORS
I'M BUILDING OF AEROPLANES

While attention has been focused
upon the aeronautical progress made
by the British, French and Germans,
Italy seems to have forged ahead un-
observed ard captured the honors as
the builder of the worlds premier air
craft Popular Mechanics Magazine
for November says information from
apparently reliable sources indicates
that the Italians now possess not only
the fastest, but also the largest and
best climbing aeroplanes in existnce.
Their success has been due to the per-
lection of extraordinary engines capa-
BILE of producing from 500 to 700 hp.
These motors are making possible
the construction of planes that are
larger than have heretofore been feas-
ible. There is now being built in

motors producing 800 hp. 1t is ex-
pected to carry so persons.

(From Fridays daIly.l

Robert F'itzsimmons, former cham

Chicago hospital seriously i'll from To-
bar pneumonia. Mrs Fitzsimmons is
in constant attendance upon her hus-
band, who has been appearing at a
suburban theatre until yesterday,
when his condition became suddenly
worse and he was rushed to a hospital.
Physicians at the institution last last
night said there was small hope for the
patients recovery.
Fitzsimmons, who is 55 years old,
apparently was in the best of health
on Tuesday. On Wednesday he con-
tracted a slight cold and this devel-
oped rapidly during the day. Late on
Wednesday his condition became such
that he was rushed to hospital, where
in few hours he became unconscious.

Replies to Washington Tale That
Wisconsin Is in Danger Of Pro-
Germanism
STATEMENT LIKE LETTER
TO HENRY WATTERSON
Governor Pledges His Word That
Badger Quota cf Liberty Loan
win Be Subscribed

Governor Emanuel L. Philip last
night gave out statement in behalf
of the state of Wisconsin in answer
to the report that pro-German iniu
ences were affecting the sale Of liber-
ty bonds in this state.
The statement follows:
''My attention has been called to
charges repeated in press reports that
wisconsin was included in a list OF
states where pro-Germans were con-
Quoting a campaign against the liber'
ty loan. AS governor of Wisconsin
resent the continued slanders which
have been heaped upon this state,
many of them by well intentioned peo-
vile who do not know the facts.
No Fears for State
wisconsin does not wish to boast
of its patriotism and our people real
ize that actions speak louder than
words. We are pardonably jealous of
our reputation as a patriotic state,
however, and wish to retain the con-
fidence and good will of the people
Of other states whom we are aiding
in the support of the government in
this war.
"In spite of any misrepresentation
in Washington which we must bear
as a part of our burden during this
war, we W ut it known that the ma
ton need not fear the influence of
pro-Germans in Wisconsin. We have
a large German population which, as
a class, will rank with any other ma
tionality for patriotism, not only in
this state, but in other states.
Loan Is Oversubscribed
"In Oshkosh a city with large
German population, the bulk of which
is classed as German workingmen, the
second liberty loan has already been
oversubscribed. IN Racine, which has
a large foreign-born population, more
than half of the quota was subscribed
in two days.
ain Superior, the second city in the
state which has a population greatly
augmented. by people of foreign birth,
both German and Scandinavians, the
quota has been oversubscribed. In
Milwaukee, known as German city,
more than $12,O0O,O0O has been sub
scribed in the early days of the lib
erty loan campaign.
ST will be authority for the state
ment that Wisconsin will Oversub
scribe it's quota of the second liberty
loan."

PORTAGE SALOON
LICE NSE CASE TO
CIRCUIT COURT
Question Whether, Under the Law,
William Epstein's Place Is Duly
Authorized

Whether the retail liquor license
issued by the city council at Portage
to William Epstein to conduct the ga.
, loon on West Cook street formerly
owned by the late Dad" Smith lis
valid, is a question to be decided in
court.
The validity of the license is said
to depend upon whether the place
has been operated continuously as a
saloon since 1907, so that under the
Baker law it may be licensed for fur
ther operation, in spite OF the fact
that Portage has more than one sa-
loon for every 500 inhabitants. If
there has been hiatus, within the
meaning of the law, it is contended
that the right of the place to be Ii
censed must hage elapsed.
The license under which the saloon
was operated by the former proprie-
tor expired June 30, 1917. The new
license for the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1917, was not issued until Au-
gust l.

ADMITS TRANSFER OF
MONEY TO BERNSTORFF

At Amsterdam the Deutsche bank
admits in the Vossische Zeitung, which
prints four columns on the Bolo Pascha
affair, that it transferred q sum of
money, amount not stated, to Ambas-
sador Won Bernstorff.
And the paper makes the Bolo af-
fair the text for an attack on the
judgment and ability of Won Bern
storff, whose candidacy for the chan
celIorship evidently is still feared by
the pan-Germans.
