Medics COMPLAIN of Gas.

Madison, Feb. 6.-TWenty-eight ply
sicians of Racine and Kenosha coun-
ties have filed a petition with the rail-
road commission declaring that gas
now sold in Racine and Kenosha c0un-
ties contains such a large amount of
sulphur as to be deleterious to health.
This is the first case of this kind to
come before the commission A spe-
cial investigation is now being made
by Commissioner John Allen. Former
~ it was possible to get certain kinds
of coal for the manufacture of gas,
but since the coal shortage this has
been impossible and any kind of coal
obtainable has been used. The result
is that the gas made has not been es-
pecially healthful in some cities, the
petition says.

1918 there will be a revolution which
will overthrow the Hohenzollerns in
Germany was expressed by the Rev.
Aloysius Daniels, Hewitt, Wis, upon
his arrival here from Germany by
way of Switzerland.
'The people of Germany are starv-
ing" said Mr.. Daniels, who for three
years has been studying in West
phalia. "There are few left who are
more than fifty years old, all sue
cumbing to lack of nutrition, while
the death rate among the children is
frightful.
president Wilson is mathematical
throughout the empire, but hardly
worse than is the emperor, while what
is said openly of the crown prince is
not fit to repeat.
Il believe they will quell this in
cipient revolution, but there will be
another unless the war ends before
next year, and that one will be the
end of the Hohenzollern. The Ger
mans are tragically short of all sorts
of food"
