BUckER|DGE IS
UNDER ARREST
IN HOME CITY

Alfred Buckeridges body is not in
Lake Mendoza at Madison. He had
planned on drowning himself in Mad
ison week ago today, but his courage
failed him, according to the following
dispatch received from Beloit, his
home town, by the Democrat last
night:
Alfred Buckeridge, whose mystic
rious actions for two weeks have Civ
en- relatives and police anxiety, was
arrested last night in house in Be-
lott, where he had evidently been hid
ing for two days. Application for
confinement in an insane asylum has
been made. He says he planned to
drown himself, but his courage failed.
He does not acknowledge that he set
fire to his house to destroy his wife
and children, but claims that he has
been encouraged by strange power to
sacrifice them. Buckridge has been
a hard working man.

JACKIE BAND
IN bARAB00
(From Tuesdays daily.)

Animated allegro airs character
lied the stir made by the Jackie band
from the Great Lakes Naval Training
station when the members marched
about Baraboo, rencerlng lively tunes.
In the AL. Ringing theatre more
music was given before the address,
the band being applauded many times.
The house was packed and many were
turned away. After the address the
band played again and a dancing
party was given in the Moeller hall
in their honor to close the events of
the day.
THE ADDRESS.
The speaker, Judge Martin Lueck
of Juneau, was introduced by A. S.
Kingsford, chairman of the Sank
county speakers bureau of the third
liberty loan. Mr.. Kingsford toasted
the band for the excellent playing and
invited them to come again.
At the opening Judge Lueck co1nplf-
mented Baraboo for the fine Al. Ring
ling theatre, saying that although he
had been told about it many times,
vet it had not been adequately de-
scribed to him.
The speaker believed we were Nv
ing in a great period and that the
greatest achievements were about TO
be accomplished. These were times
of stress as during the great Civil War
tho which led
up to the conflict are no longer to be
discussed. This nation for long time
has been too busy to count the cost
of liberty and we are just beginning
to realize that we have country
worth fighting for There are still
a few who do not appreciate the great
strain this nation is under. The United
States today is party to the most
horrible war in all history, a war
thrust upon us. AS to death dealing
devices, this war has no parallel IN
history. There is allied against Ger
many all the civilized nations Of the
globe.
He discussed the events which lead
up to the United States entering the
war and how some could not see where
this nation had been wronged. He was
glad to say the vision of many is be-
coming clearer. The purpose of the
military machine of Germany is not
only to dominate Europe but to con-
troll the entire world.
There are two dominant ideas in
the world two forces. The one is
the brotherhood of man and the other
is might is right-the mailed fist
These two forces cannot exist on the
earth side by side. If Germany wins
we must pay because this nation is
the only bird worth plucking. He
assured this nation this country was
not going to lose.
He closed by making an appeal for
the liberty loan.

From Parkway Guam

Mrs. J. E. Kirby, 3O4 South Main
street, Belvidere, AL, formerly . resi-
dent of Baraboo, has received a letter
from her son, Clyde N. Kirby, Guam,
Mariana Islands Guam is about l.,
500 miles east of the Philippines and
about as far away from BarabOO as
you can get On this earth. The island
was obtained by the United Staes dur
ing the war with Spain, there being
only a little over hundred Spanish
soldiers there when the United States
forces arrived. When the warship came
nothing OF war with Spain and made
no resistance. There was no powder
with which to make fight. Germany
owned a portion of the group before
she got into trouble. The islands are
sometimes called the Ladrones, and
Guam is the largest, being about 30
miles long and from to 7 miles wide.
The Island then is about as large as
two towns or townships in Sank coun-
ty. The climate is tropical and the ma,
the Philippines. The exports are tropi-
cal products. Mr. Kirby entered the
navy in 1916, and has been at Guam
much of the time since then. His let
ter, dated January 81, runs in part as
follows:
When war was declared I was not
in the company but at the radio sta
ton. All of my personal property was
at Camp Barnette in my squad shack
We only had the things that were alb
solute1y necessary with us, because
we had to carry it in our blanket rolls.
After the Comoran was sunk all the
officers were taken prisoners and sent
to our camp at Barnette.
Your mail comes direct from the
states to Guam without a stop, You
or goth of April, because it must go
AROUND by Manila, P. l., Nackasacka,
Japan, Honolulu, H. l., and then to
San Francisco, Calf. You can see it
is about twice as far from Guam to the
United States as it Is from the United
States to Guam by the transport route.
1t never gets cold here, as it is
near the equator 1t is hot all the time
Probably by the time you get this
will be very nearly ready to go to the
Philippine islands. | expect to leave
about April %, but l may have to stay
a month later than that. don't think
| will though; hope not.
Write often and long letters.
Will close with love- Your son,
CLYDE n. KIRBY.

d Editors Note: The ship mentioned
was a German craft, which was de-
stroyed by the crew when war was de-
CARED by the United States.

way or not. Perhaps we were only in
the poor district. The kids all along
were begging for pennies. 1t is pretty
hard to write long letter now, as we
are not allowed to tell anything, al
though there IS lots [ would like to
say, but can't. And now, mother dear,
don't worry about me over here, as |
am all o. K, and it will be some time
yet before we get into any real dan
ger. and | don't think it will be more
than a year or SO before we get back
to the good old u. S. A. You folks in
the states think you have it hard, but
believe me it's nothing to what it is
here. The United States is far more
advanced in ways than this country.
Everything is just the opposite here
than home. There was an air raid
about sixty miles from where we are.
Several people were killed and wound
ed. The bunch mere pulled an air raid
off on us, too. / was asleep, but be-
lieve me when it started cleared out.
They turned off all the lights, threw
stones on the tin roof and broke the
windows. We sure Thought our time
had come. I know | did whole lot
of thinking, and some Of the boys were
too scared to move. Quite a few o%
the BaraSoo boys were on the boat
with me. Our old LieuSenant Stewart
and some of the other boys who were
on the TTuscania were all over to see
us Sunday. 1t sure seemed good TO
see them all again.
The only thing / don't like here is
the eats Gee, for 0ne of dear H0th-
er's homemade meals again. Well, l
must close and write to Herb. and I
will write just as often as possible,
and l know you will do the same. Re-
member me to all the folks and write
often. And now, mother dear, what
~eer you do, don't worry about me, as

RINGING CIRCUS
FLIES A SERVICE
FLAG, 214 STARS

A service flag of 214 stars was UNI
furled Sunday night for the first time
at the Ringing Brothers circus, now,
playing at the Coliseum, Chicago.
The fay represents the total number
of men from the circus now serving
their country, either in the canton
ments, or in France. The flag will be
displayed from the topmost rafters
of the Coliseum while the show is
exhibiting in Chicago.
Every department of the big show,
including performers, animal men, eX-
ecutive staff, ra2orbacks, clowns, SOCK
house boys, elephant trainers, and bill
posters, contributed its quota to the
army and navy during the last few
months. They are now in training in
nearly every cantonment and camp in
the country, as the circus is made up
of persons from every state in the
union.
Charles Ringing is greatly pleased
with the service showing made by the
employees of the show. He is conf
dent the circus itself will perform
tremendous service to the country
during the coming season, not only
through the amount of money 1t will
earn for the government, in war taxes
on admissions, but also with the mes
sage of cheer and laughter II Will
bring to every community during a
time when the nation vitality needs
