wonder if there will be an election on
the matter. What will the people of
Christiania do about the taxes? Can
it be possible the citizens will object
to accepting a building costing two
and a half million dollars because it
would reduce the taxes on property OF
considerable value. This is food for
thought in Baraboo at this time.

The fuel holidays have been char

The fuel holidays have been char
acterized by numerous newspapers in
the United States as idiotic, inept, a
sign of panic, blow at business, and
an attempt to aid the Germans, says
an Exchange. Yet, after studying the
American example for two weeks, the
government of Canada DEGREES a sus
pension of business for three days on
account Of the fuel situation, and does
not exempt munitions plants. It can
not be said that Canada has acted pre-
cipitately, but it will probably not be
said that the order in council is intend
ed to aid the Germans.

HER WIDOWS MITE

"They were only floursacks, washed

CLAIMS THAT BERNSTORFF
LIED ABOUT SHIP

In the February number of the
Worlds Work magazine, John r. Ra-
Thorn, "editor of the Providence Jour
nal, gives some new light on the trick
cry of Bernstorff, the former ambas-
sador to this country. At great ex
pense, the Journal has exposed nu-
merous plots Of the Germans in the
United States. The Journal had its
own wireless station, and when the
message came through from Germany
early in the morning of April 20, 1915,
directing that advertisements be in
serted in the eastern papers for pas
sengers to keep off ocean liners, the
instructions were received in secret
in the newspaper office. On May Z
the Lusitania went down and Bern
storff declared he had caused the adj
vertisements to be inserted. AS re-
vealed by the Journal, the German
ambassador deliberately lied and Ber-
lin directed the whole tragedy. After
the war is over and it's true history
has been written there will be many
things told that the world will not
soon forget.
