THE BATTLE OF WISCONSIN.

Strange to relate, the first great battle of this year was not fought in France. 1t was fought yesterday in Wisconsin, U. s. A., and it was a battle of ballots. Yet, never theless, German and anti-Cerman forces composed the voters, and German and anti German leaders were struggling for suprem- acy, and German and anti-German issues were at stake, and to think that such bat tie should for a moment be in doubt in any state in this union IS past belief. Yet last nights early returns indicate a close con test. It is as though Wisconsin should secede from the union of the states.
 Thompson, German sympathizer and friend of traitors, and Congressman Len root, loyalist to his hearts core, were op- posing candidates for the republican nomi- nation for the United States senate in the primary. Pro-German and anti-Cerman forces fighting for United States senator. Loyalty versus treason. The issues well defined and clear cut. Supporting 1homp- son were the pacifists,. the disruptors, the agitators, the l. w. w., the disloyalists, the socialists and all those Germans who prefer the fatherland to their adopted country That Lenroot should win was, of course, to be expected But as this was the first direct test in statewide campaign upon the pub lie feeling towards the war, the interest in the outcome was intense throughout the country, and the world toe. for that matter. In great and stirring speech made just be- fore the election, Congressman Lenroot set forth the issues in the following burst of eloquence, as rare as 1t IS remarkable in these days of facts, figures and citations:
 The ballots that fall Tuesday will not fall silently like the snowflake. but they will be heard around the world They will be heard in Berlin. They will be heard in Paris, in london. They will be heard in every corner of the United States. If it shall go forth on the night of March g that the forces opposed to this war, the forces whose sympathies have not been with the government in this war. the forces made up in part of those who want Ger many to win this war against the United States, if the wires shall carry the news that these forces have won in Wisconsin, then there will be joy in Berlin, then there will be joy in every disloyal heart in America. Then, indeed shall we be compelled to ad- init that Wisconsin would rather be gro vince of Germany than one of the United States.

Another strike directed at the great and vital shipbuilding campaign has been begun, this one at Baltimore bysthe ironworkers. The men had agreed to wage scale of $5.60 a day. Now they want more. The men walked out with but short warning. It is believed that union officials will squelch this strike as this wage agreement had been generally accepted by union labor To the average loyal and patriotic citizen such strike as this looks like the act of men who smell blood money and want more and more. Utterly selfish and mercenary motives alone could have prompted the strike. American lives and American success depend upon ships Wage scales were agreed to upon both sides. And yet strike after strike flashes out like incen- diary fires Union labor seems to have as much or more trouble in working for Uncle Sam as 1t has with those whom it has been pleased to call the money barons of the land

It now develops that the Germans, after boasting all winter about spring offensive that would land them in Paris and win the channel ports, have determined to wage a defensive campaign this year They do not want any more of the French or Brit ish game They have been outfought for two years man for man and gun for gun by the Tommies and the Poilu and no one knows it better than they The slaughter at Verdun and Ypres and on the Somme and Chenin des Danes has weakened their morale And, in spite of the vail of the alarmists, the allies still hold the edge in men and guns in the west That the Brit ish will make another trial on an unprece- dented scale to break through to Roulers on the Ypres front and thus clean out the submarine bases on the Belgium coast is expected by every one. And that they will also try to take Lens and force the evacuation of the Lille district is almost as certain The French will surely try to take Laon an thus force general retirement, ment on the southern end of the line And and offensive up through Lorraine on the American sector Is hoped for. This, of course, will be made by the French, aided by probably ten American divisions (ie 270,000 men). The Germans have many fresh divisions moved from Russia, and many more guns. The fighting will doubt less be more intense and deadly and the artillery fire will be something to wonder at, even in this war of heavy guns As special writer puts it, when the spring fighting begins, the big guns will begin battle symphony of death,

An Answer to the Question:
 Who Is This Man J. F. Carle?

Who is this man J. F. Carle. who as pires to seat in Congress from the Jefferson county district?
 This is a question heard from time to time now in spite of the fact that Mir Carles friends claim there are only two or three men in the county who can meet and call by name more voters than can MT. Carle.
 In view of the fact, however, that some people are asking the question it is probably worth while to give few of the main facts of his life.
 MT. Carle came to Birmingham in 19Os where lie had been summoned by wire to become chemist for the Republic Iron and Steel company. He served in this capacity during the construction of the No. 3 furnace at Thomas After a few months he went to Bessemer as chemist of the United States Pipe and Foundry company and after two years opened q commercial chemical laboratory in Bir- mingham. This business was just get ting in flourishing condition when he got flattering offer to go back to Bes- semer, which he accepted. and this time he remained with the United States Pipe and Foundry company for six years as chemist

BRANDON FRIENDS MAKE APPEAL FOR 2D CHOICE VOTES These Going to Play Impor- tant Part in Primary
 for First Time KILBY'S FOLLOWING
 MUST BE CAREFUL Second Choice Law Is Working All to the Advantage of Anti
 Amendist Candidates
 in Race
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, April a.-fspecial)- )-Fac- ing the fact that this state for the first time in a decade will have a guberna- torial campaign in which more than two persons will be entered, persons interested in the candidates this week begin se- rious consideration of the effect the sec ond choice votes provided for by the last legislature will have on the race. It is the first time since the second choice law was enacted that the new method will have an important bearing on the re- suit.
 It became known this week that friends of William w. Brandon are convinced that second choice votes will be so im- portant that they are making an appeal to those who favor other candidates to mark their second choice for MT. Bran don. Other candidates and friends of candidates are likewise intereste, but
