The passage Of the Overman bill will
give to President Wilson the widest
power ever given to the executive of a

purpose Of bringing to the nation that
peace with honor that we all long for.

No. we do not believe that the Keno
sha factories should shut down for
Liberty Loan Day or any other kind
of celebrations. The nation is too
anxious to have war supplies to have
factories closed for celebration. The

and celebrate when the war is over.
The necessities !, of the nation must
come before celebrations.

American soldiers are rendering SER

what that service may be.

There isn't a great deal of difference
between an fallen enemy and one

difference is that the government re-

times it is long time doing it.

Remember This Nov. 5

To classify the public conception of the lam
guage plank of the Democratic platform
State Chairman O. A. La Budde has issued a
statement, pointing out that it deals only with
a necessary step in Americanization, and that
| it does not contemplate any interference with
educational or religious liberty His state
ment in part follows
when we appreciate the large number OF
foreign born who come to Wisconsin to make
their homes and rear their children, it is not
only right, but our duty, to see that these chill
dren are properly educated in the language OF
our country. We know that only IS per cent
| of our children ever receive any higher educa-
| ton than that of the common or graded
schools of our state. And we further know
there is so much we must teach in the few
years the children are at school, tn at this
precious time should not be wasted on non-es-
sentials, such as the teaching of foreign Ian
guages The Democratic state platform,
therefore, contains the following one of the
planks;
sssTo unity the nation To teach genera
tions the institutions of our country, and to aid
in brin ging up real Americans. We owe it as
a solemn obligation to the youth OF America,
that they should be taught onlys the English
language in all schools, public and private,
during that plastic age of instruction. up to
and including the eighth grade or equivelant
thereto
'sThese words mean just what they say but
the voters of Wisconsin must beware lest un-
scrupulous politicians try to mislead them
The voters of this state should understand
that no law of this country can interfere with
religious instruction because the constitution
guarantees protection in religious matters.
They shou, d not allow themselves to be fooled
by any effort to raise religious issue on this
question. A law based on the foregoing plank
of the Democratic platform would only apply
TO the regular school hours of the graded
schools 1t would not apply to high schools
or colleges, nor would it prevent the teaching
of a foreign language in the graded schools
after the regular school hours.
Politicians who try to make the plain
words of this plank mean something else
should receive the rebuke of the voter at the
polls on Nov. g..

Last QuestiOnnaiTes Ready.

Washington-Cl Classification by local
boards OF men of the new Registrations
has been SO rapid that missionaries
soon will be sent to youths Of L. and
men between 81 and 46. Though re
quired to register Sept. 2, no action
had been taken as to these classes be-
cause Of the intention of defer ring to
call them for service until all other
available material had been exhausted.
Reports show that 555 local boards
out of 4,543 in the United States have
classified all registrants between 10
and 81.
Influenza epidemic conditions are
such, in the opinion of the general
staff, as to continue the indefinite sus-
pension of the October army calls, but
it is intimated that the ne xt call will
be unusually large. Under new reg
ulations governing classification of
registrants with physical defects,
men fit for general service are to be
noted as Class A men on military re-
cords, while men fit for such service
if cured by operation or other treat
ment are to be noted as Glass B. Be
low these are established Glass CT, in
which men fit for general limited
service, which is defined as being in
the service of supplies oversee, or in
general service within the United
States, and Glass CO to certain men
fit only for restricted duty within the
United States, in capacity approved
by medical officers. Class d is for
men unfit for any service.

TOM IS IN THICK OF IT
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lough-
lin at Chateau Thierry
and is Still Fighting.

Eagle River friends of the 7. 4.
Loughlin family will be interested iB
the experiences of Tom, Jr., who has
seen much action with the Americans
forces in France. The Loughlins
were Eagle River residents for many
years before moving to Portland, Ore,
a few years ago. Their two sons, Tom
and Barclay, are both in France. Tom
had the honor of leading the first
Oregon company over the top.
He writes long and interestingly
He is a first lieutenant and wears d
wound stripe from being gassed. He's
going to apply for a beth as airplane
observer. With his knowledge of ar
tillery he thinks he can do good work
in that branch He was at Chateau
Thierry, in fact he says their battery
has been in every big fight SO far. His
division is composed of shock troops
who go in where the fighting is
heaviest. Three days is the longest
rest he has had and that was when he
was gassed. Usually only one day
out and back they go. They have
been cited in American orders twice
and in French orders once. He tells
of being out at. listening post in
front of the lines with nothing be-
tween himself and German machine
guns but bit of camouflage. He has
lain in mud for day at a time. He
writes of just connecting up with
two batteries and seeing the Germans
advancing. He phoned the range back
to the artillery and the Huns were
wiped out in no time Said he felt
sorry for the horses, but if he died
next day he would know he had done
his bit.

German Damage In Belgium.

London, Oct. II, via Montreal
Some Of the items which figure on
Germany's bill in Belgium are given
as follows from an official Belgian
source:
Local contributions and fines levied
by Germany on Belgium in 1914, $40
000, 900.
War contributions from November,
1914, to October, 1916, S192, 100000.
War contributions, seven months to
May, 1917, $40, 100000
War contributions from May, 1917,
20 May, 1913, STA 100000.
War contributions from June to Oc-
tober of the current year, S45,OO0000.
Raw materials and machinery taken
by the Germans were reckoned by
chem in January, 1915, at S4G0,000,000.
The damage TO December, 1914, esti-
mated by the North German Gazette,
amounted to S80O,0oO,000 This makes
a grand total of 81, 921, 100000.
These items do not include material
destruction and acquisitions since
January, 1915. which alone must be
reckoned at several hundred million
dollars.
During the winter of 1916 Belgian
workmen to the number of 1,750, 900
were deported to Germany The flu
6ure production of these men was thus
totally lost to their country.

Test Your Cows.

Badger cow testers match stories
every month on the discoveries made
through the Babcock test, and two Of
the best ones developed last month.
A Sheboygan county farmer decided
that, with six more COWS coming in
to milk. he would have to sell part Of
his stock, SO he picked Oh No. 4. The
tester added the figures for the milk
and butterfa5 for the last ten months
and found No. 4 TO be tie third best
producer in the herd, with about 100
pounds more to her credit than some
\of the others had. So one more good
COW was saved.
la Outagamie county farmer gave
what he thought were his two poores ,
COWS to the son who had just started
farming One COW made 370 pounds
of butterfa6 liz the nine months test,
and probably will be the associations
highest COW, says the tester, and the
other bids fair to be a Register Of Pro-
duction COW. The father has no COW
in his herd with so good a record.
That herd cleaning is becoming the
fall practice OF Wisconsin dairynen is
evident from the reports of COW test
ers in II associations. Low producers
have been welded out of the herds
and better COWS put in. Several herds
have been reduced in size when tie
owners found out they were boarding

Surrender, Says Wilson!

President Wilson's reply to the
latest German camoufaged peace
note is summed up in it's final
paragraph Read it. That lower
jaw wasn't built for nothing.
IF it must deal with the
military masters and the mon
archial autocrats Of Germany
now, or if it is likely to have
to deal with them later in re-
gard to the international obi
cations of the German empire,
it must demand, not peace ne
gotiations, but surrender.
Nothing can be gained by
leaving this essential thing
unsaid.
