German women of Marathon Co.
must register, according to notification
received by the department of JUS
tice Thursday. The time fixed is from
June II to 26, and as was the case
with enemy alien men, the registra-
ton must be made with the chief of
police in cities of over 5000 inhabi-
tants and with the postmaster in
towns of less than 5000.
Those living in Marathon county
outside of the city limits will register
at the postoffice.
All German born women and girls
over IA years of age who have not
acquired citizenship through marri-
age, or through the naturalization of
their father, must register. An Ameri-
can woman upon marriage to an alien
becomes a subject of the country of
which her husband was a subject, but
upon his death or upon being divorced
from him she resumes her American
citizenship. but an alien woman who
marries an American may retain Am
erican citizenship after becoming a
widow. Her children, however, follow
the allegiance of their father in either
case.
The minor child of an a.en widow
who marries an American acquires
the citizenship of her stepfather.

Every man of draft age must work
or fight after July l under a drastic
amendment to the selective service
regulations announced Thursday by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Not only idlers, but ali draft regis
trants engaged in what are held to be
non-useful occupations are to be
hailed before local boards and given
the choice of a new job or the army.
Gamblers, racetrack and bucketshop
attendants and fortune tellers head
the list, but those who will be reached
by the new regulations also include
walters and bartenders, theater ush-
ers and attendants, passenger eleva-
tor operators and other attendants
of clubs, hotels, stores, domestics and
clerks in stores.
Deferred classification granted on
account of dependents will be disre-
garded entirely in applying the rule.
A man may be at the bottom of Glass
l or even in Glass 4, but if he falls
within the regulations and refuses to
take useful employment he will be
given a new number in Glass 1 that
will send him into the military service
forthwith. Local boards are author
lied to use discretion only where they
find that enforced change of employ
ment would result in disproportionate
hardship upon his dependents.

Through Education)
Although Germany, while yet a
friend" intrigued against our peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico to
make war on us, and murdered our
men, women and children, there are
those among us processing loyalty and
intelligence who practically say this is
not our war and appear unable to real
ize that the defeat of the boche is as
vital to us Americans as was the vic
tory of 1910.
Then we declared for independence {;
now we fight to maintain 1t.
1t is not merely that we fight in
answer to indignity and material In
jury done us through attack on our
rights as a nation and on the lives
of our citiZenS-not merely TO uphold
our place among self-respecting peo-
pleS-that we are at war but literally
| for our self preservation as republic.
To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arms-that the
world shall be safe for the freemen of
| the world.
The world cannot rest in peace while
| Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples in her blood-dripping hands.
The world cannot live in peace with
a people that commits, or permits her
sponsors to commit in her name, the
| foul acts of treachery, of vandalism,
Of bestiality, of murder, that have
marked the trail Of the German army
over Europe.
One doctrine or the other must pre-
vail either the German brutal right of
might or the civilized might of right
one or the other-must succumb in this
conflict to the death. And should 1t
be the German doctrine-then shall we
fall under the domination of a people
| that have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and killed, that the
''kultur" of military oligarchy shall
live.
PruSSianiSm is devoid of honor,
truth, justice or mercy, as its own acts
have proved, and its defeat is neces-
Sary first step for the peace of the
world and the freedom of civilization.
For the safety Of American institu-
tons it must be destroyed; for the
safety of American freedom, yours and
mine and of all Of US.
We are in the midst of war, our war.
the war of every freeman. of every
man and woman who does not indorse
cowardly hurderous assault upon the
weak and innocent, brutal injustice
and atrocious acts: and If we would
/ preserve the Stars and Stripes and al
they stand for we must fight the Huns
abroad and the paciiists at home with
sill our strength.

The time for thinking whom the
democrats of Wisconsin will run for
governor is at hand, and there is con-
siderable speculation as to who will
be the nominee. The friends of Jo-
seph e. Davies are very enthusiastic
over his candidacy. They put for
ward the fact that he made a most
wonderful race in the senatorial con-
test, losing out only by slight mar
gin, which would have been turned
into a victory, had there been time
to carry on campaign of education.
Among others mentioned for candi-
dates are H. y. Moehlenpah of Clinton
Junction and State Senator VIM. Bich-
Ter of Sheboygan county. Both have
strong followings. Tn the republican
side it is believed that Gov. Philip
will be a candidate to succeed him
self.

ance to Germanism Deutschtum, the
superior German civilization)." Won
Bissing's memorandum breathes
throughout the spirit of autocracy,
that Grass political brutality which has
compelled our entrance into the war
and will keep us in 1t to the end.
In the Baltic states recently con.
quered by Germany the heavy hand
and purpose of the German conQuerors
have recently been shown. No atten-
ton is being paid to the desire of the
Let's, Lithuanians, and Esthonians for
independent and democratic statehood.
The German owners of great estates
there are in control. In Poland, Ger
many is basing her power on the
landed aristocracy, group of medic
val barons who will rule in their own
interests and those of their German
| masters.
The programme of the German
militarists was, and still is, to break
| forever the power of our sister DEM
ocracy of France. France must be
bled white!" Then England, that ma
ton of shop-keepers," with its liberal
institutions, must be made subservi-
ent to German autocratic ideals and
be removed forever from the pathway
of the expansion and spread of the
German rule.
Should the Teutonic allies be sue
cessful and impose their will upon Eu-
rope, there would be no safety in the
world for the free and democratic col
onies of the British Empire. Canada,
New Zealand, and Australia have
been fighting for four years the fight
for democracy-for our democracy as
their own. We know, now, that their
fight is our fight.
Our own democracy, also, like those
of Canada, New Zealand, Australia,
would be directly endangered. For
German imperialistic policy has aimed
| for twenty years or more at the con-
troll of the South American republics
and then our turn was to come!
After the Spanish-American war a
| German military attache, in explaining
to an American officer the German
plan of conquest, declared:
Some months after we finish our
work in Europe (the taking of Paris
and the crushing of England) we will
take New York and probably Wash.
ington and hold them for some time.
We will put your country in its place
with reference to Germany. The
Monroe doctrine will be taken charge
| of by us and we will take charge
of South America, as far as we want
to-"
There is no doubt as to the great isi
sue involved in this war. The world
must be made safe for democracy.
And now is the time for the demo-
cratic peoples of the world to fight
this issue to a finish.

ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICE

The annual Memorial service was
held last Sunday morning at the First
Methodist church at 1890 O'Clock.
The service opened with the playing
of the organ prelude, Funeral March, .
by Chopin, and played by the organist,
Prof. c. l.. Hoyt. The entire gathering
Joined in singing 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" This was followed by pray
er and response by Rev. Richard
Evans. The choir rendered an an
them, Christian, the Morn" by Shell
ley. After the responsive reading,
Mrs. M. M. Secor gave a solo number,
Il Heard the Voice of Jesus" During
the offertory, the organist played, "To

ing the singing of hymn, Rev. Rich
ard Evans delivered his sermon, TAX

Help" The next on the program was
an anthem by the choir, ''To Thee,
o, Country" by Eichberg, followed by
hymn and the organ postlude
The members of Cutler Post, No. 55,
Grand Army of the Republic, and
other veterans of the Civil war, were
the honored guests. They were ac-
companied by the United Spanish War
veterans and the members of the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the G. A R., and
also escorted to and from the church
by Company c, and the Boy Scouts of
the First Methodist and First Presby-
terrain churches. Seats had been re-
served for them at the front of the
church.
1t was a day on which we were
reminded of the debt we owe these
veterans for what they did and suf-
fered. We are at the present time
living in times such as they struggled
through, tragic, heroic and glorious.
Half a century ago they made such
sacrifice as our boys are now max
ing, and in similar noble cause.
The church auditorium and Sunday
school room were filled in spite of
the inclement weather. The church
was prettily decorated with very
large American flag at the front of the
church, while on table were the flags
of the allies. and flowers were also
used. Several of the young ladies of
the church pinned red carnation on
the lapel of the coats of the veterans

On April O. 1917, President Wilson
called together the two houses of Con-
gress in joint session and asked that
war be declared upon the government
of the German Empire In his address
he gave to us and the world the fight
ing slogan of the United States:
THE WORLD MUST BE MADE
SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY" For to
the great experiment of democratic
government, the people of the United
States is unalterably committed.
In 1914 when the Archduke of Aus
tria was murdered, the mobiles who
rule the Austro-Hungarian empire de-
cided to take that occasion to square
their long-standing account with
Servia. In this decision they were
backed by Germany's rulers whose mad
plans of increased power are now so
we'll known. The basis of the hatred
of the Austrians for Servia was polit-
ical. The reasons for the Hungarian
hatred of Servia were partially polit'
ical, but chiefly economic.
AS far as Hungary and Servia are
concerned, this war is largely strug-
gle between a feudal land-holding au-
tocracy and democratic, farming peo-
pie. The Servians were peasants.
Eighty per cent of them owned land,
and titled the land they owned. Hun
gary, also, is an agricultural country.
But it is, economically, feudal state.
Only twelve per cent of the Hungarian
people own farm lands. One one-hun-
dredth of one per cent of the total
population of Hungary controls thirty
one per cent of all it's arabic land.
The small group of forty feudal
barons included in this number con-
trolls absolutely the destinies of the
100000 of the Hungarian people.
Politically, as we'll as economically,
Hungary is feudal autocracy. About
six per cent of the working classes
have the right to vote. Agricultural
laborers and apprenticed workmen are
excluded. But Serv1a was politically
a democratic state. Every man who
paid three dollars year in direct
taxes had the franchise. The Servian
king was a peoples king who sat in
the National Assembly along with the
elected representatives of his people.
The Hungarian land barons are no
longer bothered by the competition OF
the free Servian peasants.
Even more clearly than at its be-
ginning the issue of the war stands
out today as a fight for democracy,
"for the rights of nations great and
small and the privilege of men every
where to choose their way of life and
obedience" The future planned for
Belgium by the German militarists,
who are more than ever in control of
Germany, is absolute proof of this.
Generalevon Kissing, the late Ger
man Governor of Belgium, left mem
orandum which has been published,
since his death, in German newspapers
and re-published by our government.
What is to be the fate of the free
Belgians? Won Kissing tells US:

The trial of Grace Lusk at Wau-
kesha for the shooting and killing of
Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts, will go
to the jury the end of this week. Miss
Lusk was on the stand for several
days the weekend, giving testimony
under the most trying circumstances
She testified that she does not remem-
Der the shooting of Mrs. Roberts; that
such thing had not entered her mind.
She went to her room to get letters
written to her by this man Roberts,
in which he declared a prefer
ence for her, and while searching for
them she spied her revolver and at
once she resolved, after showing the
letters to Mrs. Roberts to kill herself,
but goaded by the singing remarks
of Mrs. Roberts, she fired the fatal
shot. She did not remember doing
this or the act of shooting herself.
No one will cOndone the killing of
Mrs. Roberts; such an act committed
by sane person, should receive the
full penalty of the law. If insane,
then the person should be placed in
restraint, for the safety of the public.
But how about such a man as DR..
Roberts? Should he be allowed to go
Scott free? Of the two he is most
dangerous sort of an individual to be
at large. 1t is about time that men,
such as he has confessed himself to
be, should know no other place than
the four walls of a prison, for the rest
of his natural life.
