May Pool Worlds
Raw Materials
BY ROBERT J. BENDER.


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent,
Washington. Sept .-Construct;on
of great raw materials reserve by
the allied nations is now under way
to pave the way for just and lasting
peace.
Kaiser wilhelm recently declared
that the great crisis ia the west de-
pended upon which fside mustered
most quickly and adequately its re-
serves-but he didpt figure on raw
materials.
When the war is OVER. the side with
the reserves. Gold. hood. coal. irun.
steel. cotton. wool and clothing win
be the power to determine the peace
and happiness OF the world. orieiSS
here declare.
PLAN INTERNATIONAL BOARD.
The United states saSernment ia
now taking steps to- acquire that re
serve. Raw materials may be
pooled after the war. as now. 10 in
sure against another outbreak Of Ho-
henzcIlernism. il the great war fails
TO drive that blood monarch from the
throne.
An international priorlties board
viii determine wlai nations si:sll re-
ceive first benefits of these raw ma
tsrials. II viii take care that the
weak and helpless country first IS al
lowed 10 revive lis strength. that II
may not be suddenly overwhelmed
while conSalesceni, by nation whose
military strength has survived the
war and whose greed for expansion
has not been tempered.
The foundation for this board could
be the International organization al
ready developing 10 direct dis,ribu-
ton of pooled allied war supplies for
lighting forces. The outcome OF tho
war win determine whether Germany
Is a party TO the board.
FiANAcE BOARD TOO.
There Is movement afoot /, csiah--
iish an international reserve boani
TO maintain financial stability thru
the period OF reaction that inevitably
will follow the war, This organization
would operate to maintain a balance
of gold among the nations after the
war. even as the federii reserve board
nov maintains a balance OF credit
and eurrence In the United States
Thru these two great international
instrumenialities az much as thru an
arTnsd league of nations. trade treaties
could be maintained openly. secret
paets could moi well survive. and no
nation could hoard war supplies ard
build mp prc-dominating miiitarism
without fun knowledge aud restraint
OF It's sister nations. Many suthori-
ties believe peace would be rendered
absolutely lasting thru maintenance
OF this machinery.

Cards from registrants. whose
homes are in this county. but who are
temporarily residing outside its bor-
ders, to the number of omre than 60
were on file with the local board this
morning. Others are expected 10
come in within the next day or two
and the full addition from this source
is likely to bring the total up to at
least rs. Although no orders have yet
been received by the local board from
the provost marshal in relation to
sending out the questionnaires to the
registrants, It is believed that they
will be mailed out some time within
the next week or 10 days at most.
Some of Thursdays registrants are
expected to be called 10 the colors in
October.

LOCAL MARKET
A Famous Song.

In responsible numerous letters con-
corning an article which appeared in
these columns and which gave some
account of the history of the song
called ''The Girl I Left Behind Me-" a
few of it's many versions are herewith
printed.
One version with an English flavor
opens with the following stanza:
I'm lonesome since l cross the hills,
And DER the moor that's sedgy;
With heavy thoughts my mind is filled
Since l have parted Macy.
Where'er I turn to view the place
The tear doth fall and blind me,
When | think on the charming grace
OF the girl l left behind me.
This was sung at the time of the
American Revolution
An Irish version runs thus:
The DANES of France are fond and
free,
And Flemish lips are willing,
And soft the maids of Italy,
And Spanish eyes are thrilling;
Still, though [ bask beneath their
smile,
Their charms fail to bind me,
And my heart falls back to Erins isle
To the girl | left behind me-
A popular American version, sung
during the Civil war, begins:
I'm lonesome since l crossed the hill,
And DER the moor and valley;
Such heavy thoughts my heart. do fill,
Since parting with my Sally.
[ seek no more the fine and gay,
For each does but remind me,
And send me safely back again
To the girl | left behind me.

During the latter part of January,
1861, Wisconsin was visited by one of
the heaviest snow storms on record
For almost two weeks scarcely a day
or night passed that did not bring
forth new supply of snow. Some
intensely interesting comments reIat-
ing to this storm are found in the files
OF the Wisconsin newspapers for that
year, preserved in the State Historic
al Library at Madison. At Green Bay
the snow was reported to have reach
ed an average depth Of 215 feet
through the woods and in the fields
Milwaukee was practically cut off
from all western points for several
days. Business at the produce markets
was at a standstilL The first train
over the La Crosse and Mississippi
road that arrived there after the
storm was reported to have come
through snow banks that reached to
the headlight on the engine. A passen-
ger train that left Madison on We'd
nesday, January %, for eastern points
did not reach Milton until Friday
noon. On board this train was a dis
tinguished delegation of Wisconsin
citizens, consisting of Judge Howe,
Judge Sloan, Congressman Hanchett,
and large number of office seekers,
headed for Washington After spend
ing night in a snowdrift, a special
train carrying an adequate supply of
whiskey and other provisions was
sent to their relief, and they were
brought back to Madison A railroad
official upon being asked as to the
probable time when the regular sched-
ule would be resumed, remarked that
he could not determine it any more
