HAVE YOU DONE YOUR DUTY

The Chamber of Commerce bulletin
has the following to say regard
ing the new enterprise about to be
launched in Wausau:
"The Zeitler & Lamson Truck indus
try is assured for Wausau. In say
ing this | do not wish to convey the
idea that they have been entirely taken
care of, for they have not. They will
have to sell stock to carry on the bus
mess of the truck company, and we
will also have to have more sub
scriptions signed up for the building
stock. This is not a donation but a
business proposition and every citi-
zen of Wausau should be vitality inter
ested, for with the coming of such an
industry as this will mean better
property values, more homes and bet
ter business. Therefore it should not
be necessary to have any of our citi
zens call upon you to secure your sub
scription as they are as busy as you
are, and this means as much to one
as to another Go to your bank at
once or call at the Office and sign a
subscription blank. Do your duty at
once Wausau will be what you make

ROTARY CLUB DINNER

The semi-monthly Rotary club din
ner was given at the Hotel Bells
house Monday noon. S. B. Tobey pre-
sided in the absence of President Ever
est. 1t was voted to instruct the
president to select two members from
the club to accompany him to the
9th district convention of Information
al Rotary clubs which is to be held in
Superior on the 22d day of February.
Rev. Horace ]. Wheeler was intro
duced, who gave a very interesting
talk upon the city and the farmer. He
told what was being done by the city
for new industries. He thought the
new settlers coming here and set
Ting on wild lands should have some
help of cooperation. ''No one ever
heard of a city or commercial club
raising 100000 to help the settlers
improve their lands" he said. While
he was not finding fault, he made a
few suggestions as to what might be
done. He thought roads should be
built into unimproved lands before
settlers came. This would prove a
great inducement He seid that he
cane here two years ago, purchased
160 acres of cut over land and found
that he had to buy 40 acres more so
that he could get to a road. Tele-
phone lines. he thought, in some cases,
should be built, regardless Of whether
the required number was secured to
warrant the extension of the same.
He inferred that it took many years
to develop a county like Marathon
under present conditions, when with
proper co-operation> great strides
eoul3 be made adding vastly To the
agricultural resources and the wealth
of the county. Industries were much
needed in the growth of a community,
but the necessity Of the development
OF the agricultural resources were
fully as great
II was a timely address and fur
nished much food for thought Mr..
Wheeler was given a vote OF thanks
for his excellent talk.

The unqualified success of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin First Regiment
band which plays here Saturday night,
at the Grand opera house is in no lit
tie measure due to the complete in
strumentation of the band. The wood
wind section of this organization is
probably the most well rounded out
section of its kind that is carried by
any of the greatest bands of the coun-
try.
One of the biggest hits of the four
concerts which the band has given
to Madison audiences this season will
appear on the band program here, and
it is presented by fourteen members
of the bands wood-wind section. Mr..
Bohn, the bassoon soloist, carries the
melody in this number.
Another feature of the Badger or
ganization is its string bass section.
Few bands in the United States can
boast of string bass. The Univer-
sity of Wisconsin band was one of the
first to use this instrument, and its
value in obtaining effects which can
not be gotten from brass instrument
quickly made it permanent asset of
the band

ANOTHER SNOW STORM
Followed by Severe Cold Waye-AIl
Trains Late.

Last Wednesday Wausau and VIC
unity was visited by another heavy
snow storm. Snow commenced fall
ing on Tuesday night, driven by a
strong northeast wind. Throughout
Wednesday the storm kept up in all
its fury, blockading the roads leading
into the country and filling I'D the
cuts in the railroad beds so as to pre-
vent the trains from making any sort
of schedule time. On the st. Paul on
Wednesday, the passenger train due
to arrive here at Z o'clock a. M, did
not arrive until in the afternoon, and
trains on other roads were equally
as late in their arrival On Friday
there were no trains on the ST. Paul
to this city, the crews being busy
digging out the drifts. Thursday fol-
lowed with bitter cold wave, which
lasted more or less intense up to the
present time. Sunday was perhaps
the most disagreeable day of the win
ter. 1t was intensely cold with
very strong northwest wind, which
made it almost impossible to keep
homes and public buildings warm.
Snow was drifted so that trains were
again many hours behind time. Fol-
lowing is table showing how few
of Saturdays trains arrived in Wau-

Austrians in U. S. to
Be Practically Free, Is
Wilson's War Ruling

Washington. Dec. IS. - Austro-
Hungarian subjects in the United
States. most of the million or more
of whom are laborers and are loyal
TO the allied war cause, will suffer
few restrictions as a result cf war
between the lands of their birth and
adoption
D.. In a proclamation yesterday de-
claring a state of war with Austria
Hungary in accordance with the act
. of Congress, President Wilson speci-
fed that unnaturalized Austro-Hun-
garians, unlike the Germans in this
country, should be free to live and
travel anywhere, except that they
may not enter or leave the United
States without permission, and those
suspected of enemy activity may be
interned. They need not register
with police or post office officials, as
Germans will be required 70 do
shortly, and are not barred from the
100-yard zone about piers, docks and
warehouses, closed to Germans, and
are not required to leave the District
of Columbia.
The Presidents motive in drawing
distinction between Germans and
Austrians was described as two-fold.
First, it was realized that the SYM
pathy of Hungarians, Jugo-Slavs-
Poles, Serbs, Czechs, Slovacs and
other immigrants from the Anstro-
Hungarian empire, generally is not
with the mother country in the war,
and they have not been guilty of the
multiform campaign of violence
practiced under the German war sys-
tenn. Secondly, such a large proper
ton of laborers in munition and steel
plants and coal mines consist Of Aus
trian subjects that it was found vir-
tually impossible to administer
against them the rigid regulations
imposed on the Germans, who are
half as numerous and more individu-
alistic.
The department of justice even
abandoned it's former plans 70 regis
ter Austrians along with Germans,
because of the immensity of the task
and the administration determina-
ton to maintain embarrassment 10
Austrians, thousands of whom have
demonstrated their loyalty to this
country by enlisting in the Army and
Navy.
