o'clock when a truck in which he
was riding skidded into Moore's creek
on the Waverly road, just outside the
city limits.
The truck was being driven by
Miss Juliet Hamilton and she escaped
without serious injury. The truck
turned completely over a ten-foot EN-
bankment into the stream below.
Mr.. Dee was pinned under the

cred from the wreck shortly after the
accident happened. It was thought
at first that his neck had been broken
by the impact, but DR.. Henry, who

ing gear, but thought it was only Q
minor trouble.
The accident occurred at a sharr
and dangerous curve in the drive
way, and the road at this point was
exceedingly heavy, with a thick coat
ing Of cinders. 1t is believed that in
making the turn the defective steer
ing gear snapped and as Miss Ham
ilton righted the car for the straight
stretch of road the ca, lulged and
went over the embankmanC.
Mr.. Dee was one Of the county {
most substantial citizens. He was
an astute business man ana by close
economy and good management ht

THE KAISER TO BECOME A
DAIRYMAN IN RUSK
COUNTY

By means of their unexcelled spy
system, the Kaiser and his staff have
discovered the wonderful opportuni-
ties awaiting the dairyman and the
stOck-raiser in North Central Wis
cOnsin. The summary of the spies
Investigations shows that the fertility
of the gently rolling hardwood ridges,
with their clay loan soil, fortified for
centuries by falling leaves of the for
est, in Rusk and western Price coun-
ties, makes place without compare,
for the sheep raiser and the dairyman.
Fearing that they cannot rule the
world, the Kaiser and his staff have
chosen wisely in selecting this vicin-
ity to settle and become sheep raisers
and dairymen when they are finally
forced to admit defeat.

unoccupied land in the world, before

If the battle does come the Ameri-

Gleaves il his recent address said
that when Admiral Beatty, command

Terrific Battle RACES Over Front OF
About Seven and a Half Miles-Ger-

of She'll and Rifle Fire.

London, June ia severe defeat
has been administered to the Ger
mans southeast of Montdidier. The
French turned and in violent attack
over a front of about seven and d
half miles between RObescOurt and
st. Maur the enemy was steadily
forced back.
1t was over this front that the
French since Sundays offensive began
had held back the Germans from keep.
ing pace with the advance they were
making from the center of the line
south of Reasons sur MatZ toward the
Disc river and where the onsluaghts OF
the invaders were met with a defense
in man and gun power that brought to
the Germans enormous casualties.
The village of Belloy, Genlis wood
and the heights rising between Gour-
celles and Mortemer were recaptured
by the French. and in addition to the
infection of heavy casualties on the
enemy General Foch's men took more
than a thousand prisoners and also
captured guns.
Win Victory in Center.
In the immediate center of the line
between Montdidier and NOyon, where
the Germans had been able to extend
the apex of their drive to Anthenil,
the enemy also was attacked and
driven back, but southwest of Noyon
he succeeded in reaching MachemOnt
and Bethancourt, the last named place
lying on the west bank of the Disc
river. Hard fighting is still in pro.
gress in this region with the French
disputing the attempts of the Germans
to press onward.
Having reached he Disc in the re-
gion of Ribecourt the enemy, if he pur-
poses to try to fight his way along the
west bank of the stream, soon must
emerge in force upon the lowlands
bordering the waterway, where the
troops of General Foch are said to
be in strong array-both in men and
guns-waiting to dispute the road to
Paris.
Foe Claims 10000 Captives.
The German war office claims the
capture of 10000 additional prisoners,
which, with the number Of captives
reported Monday would bring the total
to $4,000 in the present fighting Since
the new offensive began along the
Soissons-Rheims secor May II, it Is
asserted by the German official COM
munication, the army group of the
German crown prince has taken about
$4,000 Allied troops captive.
In one of the most ambitious oper-
atoms carried out in many days,
Haig's troops, in the Amiens
sector have struck the German a hard
blow. The Australians carried out the
maneuver and they succeeded in adj
vancing their lines half a mile over
mile and half front and took nearly

ARTIL cry ARM IS EQUAL
But French Are Able to Direct More
Effective Fire.

French Army Headquarters, June 13
The artillery strength of the two
armies is almost equal, although the
gun fire of the French is more eff
fective because the French are more
familiar with the ground. The fierce
ness of the fighting and the infiexible
determination with which the enemy
accepts his shocking losses indicate
that he is determined to continue until
complete victory or complete exhaus-
ton ensues in the decisive battle of
the year.
