WILCOX LEADS IN ASSAULT
Loyalists of the State Senate Go On
Record as Condemning the Action of
Senior Senator in Washington and
Lines Are Closely Drawn.
(Rv United Pressl

10y Cnlt6Q 1TeSS).
Madison, Wis, Feb. 26.-After
what was probably the most bitter
denunciation ever heaped upon an
American lawmaker, the senate
of the Badger legislature late last
night voted, % to Z, to condemn
U. s. Senator r. M. La Toilette
in that body's loyalty resolutions.
The scene as the all day assault
against the Wisconsin senior sena-
tor came to close was dramatic.
Never before had the senate cham
Der, the Hobbies and the galleries
been so crowded with men and wo-
men. Every available space with
in hearing distance was crowded.
Spectators were everywhere, even
crowding onto the speakers ros-
trum. The adoption of the Wilcox
amendment to the republican
harmony caucus loyalty pledge
was urged i'll speeches, by Senators
Witter, Bennett, Hanson, Burke
and Wilcox. There was no de-
Tense from the La Toilette sup
porters, who had Saturday read
into the records of the special
session lengthy, typewriter
vindieation of the senator.
He has brought down upon his
silver hair the universal condemna-
ton of an outraged people, u de-
clared Senator Wilcox. Senator
Burke advocated the nthunders
of silence" treatment for La Fol
lette. $50 soon as we cease to
mention the name of the man who
is under discussion here, just so
soon shall he sink into oblivion, -
declared Burke. emo one will as
pire to be his successor. !" ella
Toilette is admired by every trait
or to this country declared Sen
ator Bennett on the floor. He
is enshrined in the hearts of every
disloyal member Of this commun-
ity. Every man that is against
the government of the United
States in the present world crisis
regards La Toilette as a patron
saint. His patriotism has been
questioned everywhere Why? And
yet Senator Huber says that La
Toilette sustained the president
and supported the war. God save
us any more such sustenance and
support. La Toilette sustained the
president in the wari In the same
manner and to the same, extent
that Judas Iscariot sustained
Christ; as Valandingham sustain
ed Lincoln; as Benedict Arnold
sustained the American cause.
And to like degree will he be
condemned by history" Frequent
" did the word "traitor' burst
forth from the speakers. The loy-
atty resolution, already passed by
the assembly, goes back there now
carrying the Wilcox amendment.
A fight even more sensational than.
that staged in the senate is ex-
pected. The matter will not get
before the lower house, however,
until Thursday night, adjournment
until that time having been taken
late yesterday. The senate will
continue daily sessions in an at
tempt to clean up its calendar. The
special session will probably con-
tinue until Saturday night.

Manitowoc is to be congratulated.
The women of that town just naturally

Theda did not vampire. A lot of other

the Dead from the Torpedoed
Transport 'fTuscania.
Arthur Christian Junber among
the final lists Of the Tuscania
"dead". The dispatches from the
national capital said nothing fur
Their regarding the details Of the
tragedy but it is presumed that
the Kenosha patriot was among
those injured in the first explosion
On the liner and that he went
down with the ship,
AS the report of the death Of
Corporal Junker spread to all
parts Of Kcnosha this afternoon it
brought new touch of sadness in
the history Of the Inflated trans
port Tuscania For some days
now, since no official word Of the
soldiers whereabouts had been re
ceived his friends had entertained
q lingering hope that he was only
missing" and would yet be listed
among the survivors of the holo-
caust. The communications of
today, however, have completely
blasted this anticipation and left
the parents and acquaintance of
Corporal Junker only the consola-
ton Of knowing that he died the
supreme death-for his country
and his felloW-men.
Arthur Christian Junker was
among the most popular members
Of Company M. Although only
eighteen years of age he willingly
volunteered his services to his coun-
try and this in spite of the fact
that he had four uncles in the Ger
man army. Again and again he
had been complimented for his eff
fciency which had already made
him a corporal in the service of
Uncle Sam.
Something of the patriotism of
the dead hero is suggested in a let
ter written just before his en-
barkation on the horror-liner
Tuscania" The communication
was intended for mailing after the
safe arrival Of the transport tower
there" and was sent to his parents
after the recent disaster in the
Irish Sea. 1t brought word of the
crossing" and said further that
he was very anxious to reach the
firing line where he might do val
liant service for the cause Of home,
democracy. and truth.
Although this wish was never
gratifed in its entirety it was at
least partially fulfilled, inasmuch
as it may now be said of Corporal
Junl1er as of Someone else so many
years ago He saved others; him
self he could not save
Arthur Christian Junker was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. James G. Junker of
796 Sheridan Road. He had lived most
of his life in Kenosha where he had
endeared himself to wide circle of
friends, by reason of his unselfishness
his unfailing good spirits, and his un-
usual regard for what he considered to
be right and true. These same quail
ties doubtlessly prompted him to be-

supporters will come when we see just
how much these men do to aid in elect

What Shall the Answer Be?

America is made up of 1o0,o0o,oO0
units of individual men and women.
It has been well said that God does
not know America as America, ex-
cept as He knows you and me and
every individual who in the aggre-
gate comprise America.
You are America to the extent OF
your individuality. Your response
bility in this world crisis is exactly
the same as that of America as a
whole.
America must put forth every
ounce of it's strength to save itself,
but America will fail to do this to
the extent that any single individual
fails to do his or her duty.
Viewed from this ANGLE you are
truly an American or are you merely
a hangeron, shouting perhaps with
the crowd, but doing no real effective
service in this, the greatest crisis
since mans creation?
Go deep down into your soul be-
fore you make answer to yourself,
to your country and to your God to
these questions.
What am I personally doing to up
hold thef Government, to equip and
sustain our soldiers and to tighten
their burden?
What sacrifice am I making to
match the sacrifice of the soldiers
who gave up home and endure untold
nardships and offer their lives to
protect me?
What am I doing to increase the
output of the things needed for war
to sustain the nation in it's stupen-
dous task?
Am I seeking personal gain OF
higher wages, or shorter hours, or
larger profits merely for my W in
dividual selfish interest?
Am 1 concentrating every ounce of
my strength, every power of my being
toward ~arousing the nation, toward
quickening latent patriotism into a
living fame, toward increasing food
production, or lessening food con-
sumption and waste, or toward the
building of ships, the increased out
put of steel and iron and coal
and chemicals and machinery, the
expansion and at the same time
the conservation of transportation
facilities by rail, water and high
way?
Am I adjusting my family expenses
by cutting out every unnecessary
thing that the money thus saved may
be dedicated to the nations use
through Liberty Bonds, Red Cross, or
Y. M. C. A. work or religious activi-
ties?
Am I merely a casual looker-on, an
unthinking beast, with no realization
of m individual responsibility to
God, or am I consecrating all that is
in me, all my powers of mind and
body, to this great task, the most
momentous to which mankind has
ever been called?
Am I a shirker, a Stacker, a ply
steal, mental or a financial coward,
or am / a man or woman into whom
God has really breathed the breath
of life in its largest and divinest
Observation-Disclosures Record.

Atlanta, Ca, May 16.-The South

facor Of uniforcation when it unani-
mously adopted the majority report
of the committee of church relations,
suggesting that the Southern unifor-

report suggested the abolition of the
commission and the ending of such

ton. Approval of the conference was
also given to call a special session il

Wilson Demands
That Senate Pass
Suffrage Measure

Washington, May 15.--President
Wilson, as the mobile army Of reserve
Of the Suffrage forces, once more is
bolstering up the faltering lines.
He is assuming toward the Senate
the same affirmative attitude that he
took toward the House while the ma
tional amendment was pending there.
He is making IT plain to all the sena-
tors that be regards the passage Of
the amendment as duty that cannot
be ignored.
From this fact. it is probable that
whe nthe vote is called, for the mea-
sure win pass. It was passed by less
than one full vote in the House, but
that fraction was enough. The Sulfs
viii be happy to have even that frae-
ton reduced provided there remains
just enough to have the count IN their
favor.

German Control of Austria-Hungary
Probable to Make Them Fight in West

This sacrifice made by the Hapsburgs
the produdest ruling house in Europe,
can have but one meaning, a last
desperate expedient to save itself
from the fate Of the Romanoffs. The
change of front is all the more humil-
iating to Hapsburg pretensions be-
cause Karl had previously tried to
make himself independent of the
Kaiser's influence. 1t is improbable
that German control of Austro- Hun
gary will be exercised so as to compel
Austro- Hungarian forces to fight
along the west front, except perhaps
as a final gamble with fate. The
Germans realize that they now con-
troll Austro- Hungarian policies only
because of the dangerous ferment
proceeding among the antagenistic
elements in Karl's two kingdoms. The
growing hatred of the Germans is one
of the most serious problems Ger
many must face in Austro- Hungary.
Any slaughter of Austro-Hungarian
troops for German purposes in Pic
ardy and Flanders might be the final
blow needed to cause a revoluntion-
ary outbreak. If German ruthlessness
is used to restore order in Austro-
Hungary, Russia's example of reg
nant anarchy may be followed by the
Hapsburg domains.

Germans Feature
American Losses

Amsterdam, May 10 The snspic'
lous frequency with which American
losses are being featured in the Ger
nan official reports, as well as IN
Sem;-official and inspired commen-
taries, indicates departure from the
ooIicv Of concealment regarding the
Americans. The German people can
no longer be fooled into believing
that no large bodies of American
troops are in France, or that Ameri-
cans are no good for fighting.
Although the German people still
do not dream Of the real size Of the
American Army, they know that Am
erican troops are in action at many
points on the western front. Since
conceaImsnt is no longer possible, the
Cerman official reports and inspired
military comment are now used sys'
tematically to spread a subtle ProPa'
gnnda throughout America by fire.
ouent references to ''heavy American
iosses." as it is known that the Ger
man reports are printed verbatim by
the American press. 1t is hoped by
this means that in the long run Am
erican war enthusiasm may be damp

NOhAsNA ASSS U&A ASApSAesJ
New York, May 16.-Internal con-
ditions in Austria Hungary have be-
come so critical that the government
of the Hapsburg Empire has been
compelled to subordinate itself to
German control in what is apparent
ly a final effort to prevent the break
ing up of the Dual Monarchy.
The visit of Emperor Karl to the
Kaisers field headquarters, and an
nouncement that new treaties are be-
ing drawn up between Austria-Hun-
gary and Germany, mean that Karl
and the ruling caste at Vienna are
abandoning the sovereign rights of
their country because they cannot
control the domestic situation. Here
after the Government will dictate
Austria-Hungary's policies as long as
the method of suzerain rule keeps
the Austrian-Hungarians from revolt.
The food situation in the Dual Mon
archy, as wei as the attitude Of
Vienna toward the Germans in the
east will be under the management
of the Berlin militarists; and for the
time being Emperor Karl must be re-
garded as little more than vicercy.
