War Measure
LESS TRAVEL
is DESIRABLE

Samuel Rea, president Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, replied yesterday as fol-
lows to inquiries as to whether the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company con-
templated radical reductions in passen-
ger service and what the situation was
in this respect:
Less passenger train service on the
Eastern railroads, and especially on the
Pennsylvania system, would be very de-
sirable. but. until the situation develops
further and some limitation is placed
on the traffic as a war measure. it viii
be difficult to accomplish.
The company has about the largest
passenger traflc Of any railroad in the
country. The year 1916 was the heav-
lest traffic year in It's history. The pas
senger revenue for the first nine months
Of 1917 has increased IS per cent. over
1916, while later returns show that 1t Is
increasing at the rate Of so per cent.
over similar months Of 1915.
Any traveller on this system can sec
for himself on day and night trains the
extraordinary increase in the passen-
ger travel, including the heavy family
travel to and from camps and to and
from Washington on government bush
ness. ! doubt whether slower and
longer trains Of coaches carrying full
loads would reduce the number Of cars
and trains, or materially relieve the
tracks and terminals. Therefore, at this
time I can see no other course than
TO continue meeting the abnormal de-
mand for passenger transportation TO

Guard Uniforms Are Blue.

General HOlway has issued state
ment to all officers and men of the
Wisconsin State Guard in which he
says that until conditions are changed,
the uniform for dress and winter serv-
ice will be the dress uniform, wooden
blue, prescribed for the United States
army but distinguished therefrom by
state insignia. There are on hand
about $500 such uniforms. 1t is
planned, however, to provide in due
time for summer field service cotton
service uniform of appropriate pat
tern and color approaching, as nearly
as the law will permit, the standard
of the regular army. Officers who
have purchased their olive drab uni
forms will be permitted to wear them
provided the state insignia are also
worn. Shortage in material is given
as the reason for using the blue uni
forms this winter. For the present.
40 Springfield rifles of 45 caliber will
be issued to each company. Twenty
two caliber gallery practice rifles also
will be given out in sufficient number
to instruct the men in shooting.

DELAYS Call for Special Session.

Gov. e. L. Phillip is back at his
desk in the capitol. There is daily
string of callers who come to advise
him on the question of special SEES
sion of the legislature and on the SEN
atorial proposition.
There is a sentiment here that IL
the legislature does not give the ex-
ecutive the power TO appoint United
States senator the Office will be al
lowed to remain vacant until the gen.
eral election next fall. In his recent
signed statement Governor Philip
called attention that an election now
would cost the state upwards of $780,
900.
There is a division among newspa-
per editors of the state as to the pol
icy which should be followed. Many
of the large dailies have demanded
special election. There are some,
however, who are taking the attitude
that 1T would be better to fill the SEN
atorial office by an appointment.
Governor Philips closest friends
have not changed their minds about
the appointment proposition, and it
will be urged upon the legislature with
force.

ACID POISONINC!

The most eminent physicians recognize
that uric acid stored up in the system is
the cause Of govt and rheumatism, that
this uric acid poison is present in the
joints, muscles, or nerves. BY expert
menting and analysis at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered a combina-
ton of native remedies that he called
An-u-ric, which drives out the uric acid
from the system, and in this way the
pain, swelling and Inflammation subside.
If you are a sufferer from rheumatism,
backache, pains here or there, you can OBJ
tain Anuric, double strength, at any drug
store and get relief from the pains and
ills brought about by uric acid; or send
DR.. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric which
you will find many times more potent than
lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar. A short trial will
convince you. Send a sample of your
water to DR.. Pierce and it will be tested
free Of charge.
Anuric is regular insurance and life
saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.

New Historical Magazine.

A diary kept by student Of the
university while at Madison during the
Civil war is one of the articles in the
first number of the new Wisconsin
Magazine of History, which has made
it's appearance in Madison, after be-
ing greatly delayed by the printers.
The magazine is published by the
State Historical Society of Wisconsin,
and is edited by Milo NJ. Quaife, SUI
perintendent.
1.-THE magazine aims to be of gen.
eral interest without losing any of it's
scholarly character" said Mr.. Quaife.
1.-THE majority of magazines Of this
type lose much of their force by their
sober appearance. Consequently the
articles in this periodical have been
chosen and illustrated to be interest
ing in themselves, in addition to their
historical Importance"
Among the contents Of the first
number is a biographical sketch by
the editor of Increase, Allen Lapham,
a first scholar of Wisconsin; an arti-
Gle on the bankers aid given during
the years 1861-62, by Louise P. Kel-
logg; and an account of a forest fire
in northern Wisconsin, by John L,
Bracklin.

Urges Accurate Birth Registration

The extreme Importance of birth reg
istration emphasized by wartime con-
ditions was again urged by d, Q. A.
Harper, state health officer, in open
ing the annual conference of field men
of the state board of health. The sit
uation has become so acute, he said,
that aggressive measures are neces-
sary.
Where wilful violations Of the law
are apparent, prosecutions should be
brought, said Doctor Harper. He has
advised the secretary of each county
medical society in the state to make
this known to their members at the
next meeting. No excuses for failure
to register births will be accepted here
after, he declared.
Federal census Investigators, said
Doctor Harper, are due to visit Wis
consin shortly to ascertain the extent
of birth registrations and determine
whether Wisconsin is entitled to adj
mission to the birth-registration area.
The field agents were addressed also
by DR.. w. F. Whyte, president of the
state board of health, and a five-min-
ute paper was presented by each men,
Der of the conference. Round table
discussions followed.

IGNORE FLAG OF TRUCE.
Teutons Fire on Life Boats in North
Sea Engagement.

London-An appalling story of cold
FLOODED massacres by Germans of
crews of British North Sea conveys
in recent battle is told by the Nor
wegian newspapers.
The Tidenstegn said the German
cruisers were observed at 6 o'clock
in the morning and were thought to
be British vessels, but at o'clock,
when there was more light, they sud-
denly began shooting and the convoy
was terrified to see the British de-
strOyer at the stern of the convoy be-
gin to sink, although it fought to the
end. The German cruisers, after
signalling the vessels to stop, ad-
vanced on each side Of the convoy
which they swept with all their guns
at a range of less than 200 yards.
The German destroyers came up
and helped to spread death and de-
struction on the defenseless ships,
shells falling thick and fast The Ger
mans were not content to sink the
ships. but shelled the life boats, and
every living thing coming their way
was mercilessly slaughtered. The sur
vivOrs owed their lives to the high
sea which was winning, making the
boats a difficult mark.

USEFULNESS LITTLE KNOWN
Government Offers Splendid Oppor-
tunlty to Young Men Who Aspire
to Become Air Craft Pilots.

Omaha, Nebr.-A branch of Uncle
Sans big army that the public has
not yet heard a great deal about but
which is to play a most important
part in the war is the kite" or Sta
tionary Balloon section for which
about 1,500 men are now being train
ed at Fort Omaha preparatory to
their departure for the front.
The usefulness of the "kite" or sta
tionary balloon is not generally
known. One familiar with it's en-
ployment says that at the balloon
schools an applicant for officers COM
mission must first qualify as q pilot
of spherical balloons. Then they are
taught to become pilots and observ-
ers in the kite balloons.
This balloon is allowed to ascend
to height of about 5000 feet with a
wire attached to it by which it is
drawn down when desired by motor
power.
In war, these balloons are located
from three to five miles from the first
line of trenches, and from the bas-
ket, two men, pilot and an observer
give the range and results Of firing by
telephone to the artillery. For this
reason the section is known as tn
"eyes Of the artillery
On the western front, they are
placed from one-half to a mile apart
according to conditions, and are
provided with parachutes attached
to the men in the basket; in event of
accident to the balloon the men para
chute safely to the earth.
Applications for the Officers Re
serve School for this important and
interesting branch of the service are
still being received. Applicants must
be citizens of the United States, not

a state statewide campaign TO provide
Wisconsin with nurses to take the
places Of those who have gone into
military service and to meet the in
creasing demands for private duty and
for public health. A feature of the
work will be the cooperation of the
league with the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-

student nurses for public health work.
Organized effort to interest high
school and college girls in nursing as a
profession will be made and a plan
is now being worked out by which
college girls will be given credit on

to accommodate extra classes, are also
nnder consideration.
Special Course Opened.
The special course of training for
public health nursing, conducted by
The Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis assO-
citation and hitherto restricted to grad

opened to senior students in training
and several of the training schools
In the state have adopted the special
course as part of the senior years

Deer Season opens November 21.

Deer Season opens November Il.
The deer-hunting season for Wis
consin will open on November 81 and
close on November 80.
Already licenses for 10000 deer
hunters have been issued. Last years
records, when the one-buck law was
in force, showed that $500 deer were
killed. The state conservation COM
mission estimates that about 5000 will
be shot this year.
NONRESIDENT Fee Boosted.
Residents of Wisconsin have to pay
81 for license and 10 cents extra for
a coupon tag on which one deer can
be shipped. The license fee for non
residents has been increased from $25
to $50 and as a result the number of
licenses issued to non-residents has
decreased from 400 last year to IA
this year.
The hunting season this year is ten
days as compared with 20 days last
year. This was agreed to by hunters,
and as a result of the shortened sea-
son the one-buck law was repealed.
A hunter, either resident or nOn-resi-
dent, may XIII out one u0cT-S1tncA
