Gov. Phillip Amends Call to Allow
Legislators to Take Action on
Statute at Special Session.

Madison-Gov Philip amended his
call for the special session so as to
permit changes in the banking laws
of Wisconsin. The change proposed
will allow state banks to put up their
assets to obtain funds from the federal
government.
State banks have been limited in
their operation to obtain government
funds by provision in the banking
law. This has been true, not only OF
Wisconsin but also of Michigan. Un-
der the call as changed, the special
session of the legislature on Feb. 10
will be allowed to consider banking
legislation along this line. This will
be of the greatest aid to state bankers
buying heavily of Liberty bonds and
will make money conditions in the
state less stringent

Demands New Statement Of War

Not Satisfactory.

Berlin, Jan. 2S.-Chancellor Won
Hertling, in his address, before the
main committee of the reichstag
Thursday, said there was no difference
between Germany and President VIII
son regarding the freedom OF the seas.
Thorough freedom Of navigation IN
time of war, as well as in peace, was
one of Germany's main demands. 1t
was eminently important for future
free navigation that England should pc
made to relinquish her strongly fortl-
fed points of support on international
sailing routes, such as Gibraltar, Alden,
Hongkong and the Falkland islands.
'Concretely, the outlines are unsat-
.isfactory," the German chancellor IN
sisted
He demanded that enemy leaders
set forth new proposals"
There are no differences between
us and President Wilson as to freedom
of the seas" the German chancellor
asserted.
However, we cannot talk OF the
cessation of Alsace-Lorrain, 81 per

GORGAS FIXES BLAME
SURGEON GENERAL LAYS CAMP
ILLS TO THE WAR OFFICE.
Lack of Proper Sewage Facilities and
Overcrowding Are Responsible
for Epidemics.

Washington, Jan. 2S-Lack Of proper
sewage facilities and overcrowding are
responsible for epidemics which have
left their mark on training camps, Sur
geon General Gorgas told the senate
military committee.
Forging ahead with his drive against
war department efficiency, Senator
Chamberlain summoned General Cor
gas to comb the health conditions Of
National Guard and RAINY camps.
General Gorgas told the committee
that practically nome of the National
Guard camps have sewage facilities.
His earnest recommendation that fully
equipped hospitals and sanitary ar
rangements be provided before men
were sent to the camps was disregard
ed by the war department, he said.
Forty per cent of the pneumonia
cases in camps followed measles, and
measles epidemics resulted directly
from Overcr0wding he added.
Gorgas admitted that orderlies in
camp hospitals are as unframed in the
care of the sick as country boys He
also acknowledged that some sick men
get practically no care from trained
woman nurses.
There are four of these unframed
orderlies to every trained nurse. Gen
eral Gorgas said It will be year be-
fore these unframed orderlies are COM
petent nurses, he added.
1--WE have $4,000 men in the medical
corps. We ought to have 100000"
Gorgas testified He admitted there is
a shortage in the enlisted personnel of
the medical corps with Pershing's
forces.
Lack of an adequate number of hos
pital ships to bring back the wounded
from France, General Gorgas testified,
was the result of five months discus
sion of the question between the war
and navy departments. Even now, he
told the committee, no decision has
been reached, though one is imminent.
After 1t comes, he added, it would take
at least three months to make over
existing vessels to the requirements.

CHIPPEWA IND lANS WIN LAND
Supreme Court Decides That 500 Red
men in Bad River Territory
Are RightfuI Owners.

Ashland - Five hundred and forty
Indians of the Bad River reservation,
near here, have won valuable pine
lands from the state of Wisconsin. Ger
tain section on Bad River reservation,
which have been in dispute between
the state and the Chippewas, become
the indisputable property of the Indi-
ans. A total of $3.50 acres is involved.
There are 30,000,000 feet of timber on
the lands. The money value of the
land is worth over 100000, but, with
the value of the timber included, the
total value probably foots up to third
of million dollars.
The decision giving the lands to the
Indians was recently handed down by
the United States supreme court, fol-
lowing legal battle of many years.

INSPECTION PLACE CHANGED
Wisconsin Farmers and Seed Dealers
Asked to Send Samples to State
Agricultural Department

Madison Attention of Wisconsin
farmers and seed dealers is called to
the fact that the enforcement of the
state seed inspection law has been
transferred from the Experiment sta
ton, to the Wisconsin Department of
Agriculture, at the Capitol. The seed
inspection laboratory will remain at
the Agricultural college, and all sam
pies should be addressed to the State
Seed Inspector, Agronomy building,
Madison.
A fee of twenty-five cents for each
sample should accompany the seed, if
a complete test is desired. If purity or
termination tests separately are re-
quired, the fee is fifteen cents for
each. Send money in the form of
check, postofice money order or coin.
Make all checks and money orders
payable to the Wisconsin Department
of Agriculture, but mail them to the
Agronomy building.
The last two years have been ur1-
favorable for the production of some
kinds of seed, so that there is a scare
ity and prices will be high. Be sure
to see that all seed purchased or sold
is labeled to conform with the re-
quirements of the seed inspection law.
This requires that every package of
agricultural seed exceeding one pound
in weight must be labeled, with the
percentage of purity and termination
when sold or offered for sale on the
Wisconsin market. If the seed is corn,
alfalfa or small grain, the label must
also tell where the seed is grown.
Because of war conditions, the 1arg-
est possible crops must be raised this
coming summer Maximum crops can
not be raised unless he seed sown is
OF good quality. Be sure that the seed
used is clean, vital seed, which will
produce a good crop.
The seed laboratory is equipped to
give as rapid service as it is possible
for accurate results, but each sample
requires a certain amount of time for
the testing. and the larger the num-
Der of samples which can be sent III
early, to avoid the rush which comes
later, the better it will be for all con-
cerned.

ASK RETAILERS TO
SIGN FOOD PLEDGE
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO BRING
100000 MERCHANTS IN THE
COUNTRY INTO LINE.
1882 BADGERS HAVE CARDS
Object of Pledge Is to Sell to Custom
ers at a Fair and Moderate
Price With a Reason
able Profit

Madison Another important step
in the control of retail food prices in
which Wisconsin is doing it's part, has
been taken by the federal food adj
ministration in national campaign
to obtain pledges from all of the 400,-
900 food retailers of the country that
they will maintain fair prices, and
take no more than a reasonable profit
Reports in Washington at the Gloss
of last week show that 1882 Wiscon.
sin retailers had signed such a pledge
From now on, customers should look
in every food store for the red and
black poster, bearing the seal of the
food administration, which shows that
the merchant has signed the pledge.
The pledge, which appears on the pos
ter, reads as follows.
I'VE pledge ourselvs to give our
customers the benefit of fair and mod
crate prices, selling at no more than
reasonable profit above cost to us.
Before he can obtain this poster,
which is a certificate of membership in
the food administration, the merchant
must sign a record card bearing the
same pledge, which is sent to Wash
ington and placed in the files of the
food administration.
The pledge is voluntary and it is be-
lieved that all merchants will be eager
to sign it, because customers will be
asked to look for it whenever they go
into store to buy.
No merchant will be allowed to
sign unless he gives the positive as
surance that he will live up to the
pledge, in spirit as well as in letter.
If the poster appears in any store
which is no. maintaining fair prices,
the stats administrator has authority
to remove it and report the same OF
the merchant to the food administra-
ton in Washington.
