BY GEORGE e. BOWEN
of the VlulIantes,


In the main, 1t cannot be said OF
America that she is without her Amer
leans, or that the faith and service Of
the mass Is un-American In spirit.
Dollars do not always 60 with de-
mocracy, but when informed, inspired
and enlisted they can be mighty useful
to 1t.
There has been mistaken idea In
certain sections Of America that dol
lars, according to the humber Of them,
spelled "aristocracy."
They don't. That is an imported
idea. And that It is perishing In the
land Of Its origin, witness the war and
the CONSERVATION Of the few aristo-
Gratis, both external and inbred.
There have been, possibly are, a
few external aristocrats in America,
who, in a moment Of excessive vanity
measured their social Importance by
the size Of their material fortunes.
The war erased that absurd notion,
almost with the first blare of the
trumpet.
Millionaire Privates In Ranks.
There are millionaire privates In the
ranks of the American army and navy
who have renounced all the prestige
of fortune for the privilege Of comrade-
ship.
In the crucial test humanity was
first, last, and all the way between.
Men are more than money. The outer
veneer has been quickly shed. The
man has emerged.
What he thought was his pride, in
days of social and financial triumph,
he finds was but a cheap and trivial
plaything. Now, his real pride is q
thing Of purpose, power and dignity.
Before the war Is over, dollars that
hid in arIstocratic seclusion or vaunt-
ed themselves in ostentatious power
are going voluntarily and humbly to
join the forces of democracy.
After the war they are going to de-
velop system of popular redistribu-
ton relieving the old congestion whose
fevers broke out in many forms Of lux
ury and extravaganza incompatible
with universal contentment.
| The only aristocracy America wants
! or needs Is Of the heart and Of the
mind.

march or in the trenches has welded
this feeling into q living creed, a saw

Therein is the basic principle Of re-
sistance of Prussianism. That prin-

vanity and pour 1t into the cause Of
humanity.

The America annolnted of this spirit

AMERICA MUST MEET
CRITICAL SHORTAGE
OF FOOD IN EUROPE

The food situation in Europe is re-
garded in Washington as so critical
that the food administration is plan
ming to release an additional ninety
million bushels of wheat, despite the
fact that the normal export surplus
had been shipped by the middle of
December The American people will
be asked to save to make up the de-
ficiency.
The demand from the allies is so in
sistent that the food administration
has decided to take chance on a
shortage in the spring to meet in part
their needs. If consumption is not re-
duced officials see possible short
age of flour in the United States in
May before the new wheat crop comes
in June.

ENGINE LEAVES
TRACK At LYTTLES
Goes Down an Esnbankment and
Three Aboard MiracuIously Es-
cape Serious Injury

At the bridge at Lyttles, between La
Crosse and Winona, a Chicago &
Northwestern engine left the track
about 2:30 Saturday morning, went
down a bank into pit twenty feet be-
low, and three men on the engine mar
rowly escaped serious injury. A brok-
en- guard rail caused the trouble.
Accident at the Bridge
The engine of the train south bound,
had Just left the bridge when the
broken rail was struck. With Engi-
neer J. E. Meter of Baraboo, Fireman
w. Hawke Of Madison and Brakeman
A. L. Terry Of Kendall, the locomotive
went into the ditch. The three rece1v-
ed but slight injuries as result OF
their unexpected experience. The
train was going about twenty-five
miles an hour at the time.
Ten Cars Off the Track
The tender did not leave the road
bed, but chung to the side Of the bank.
Just behind the engine were a num-
Der of stock cars, and the tender was
left so close to the track it tore the
sides from the stock cars. The hogs
in five cars were frightened and many
of them jumped through the openings
into the snow.
Hard to Reach Scene
Conductor G. F. Moog of Baraboo
and Charles Poole, also of this city,
were in the caboose when the crash
came. They were more or less shaken
up, and found the rear part Of the train
on the bridge. 1t was necessary to
climb over the box cars and gondolas
as best they could. The temperature
was below zero.
The hogs that had jumped out were
rounded up and straw pulled from the
cars to make them bed. The wreck
err came, the cars were patched up, the
hogs reloaded and the track cleared.
This required about twelve hours. The
engine is still in the ditch, and it will
be necessary to bring big wrecker
from another road to lift the locomo-
tive onto it's wheels again.

SCHOOL BUILDING
At LODI BURNS
Loss Is About $3O,OOO---Cause Of
the Fire Unknown---Partly Gov
cred by Insurance

On Saturday morning the new h1gh
school building at Lodi burned to the
ground. Benjamin Posta, president OF
the board, turned in the alarm about
6:15, and about $50 the department
was on hand. The structure was then
a mass of flames and nothing could be
done but to save the old building
standing near. By using copious
amount of water the old building was
prevented from burning, and it is
worth much just at this time, for the
classes must be heard there until
new one can be erected. Some OF the
grades have been moved, and by a
little crowding school goes on as ever.
Cause Unknown
The cause of the fire is not known
1t is certain that it did not start IN
the engine room, for that remains in
tact. Several theories are advanced;
one that there was crossed wire, an
other that burning piece of SCOT fell
from the chimney onto the roof, made
of a tar preparation; still another that
possibly tramp might have been
there, and one still less likely, that a
cigarette caused the loss. The last is
thought to be very improbable, for
Principal Henkel inspected the build
ing on Friday evening and everything
was normal H. D. IversOn, member
of the Baraboo faculty. was with him
when he looked over the structure.
The Loss
The building was erected about two
years ago at a cost of about $4,000.
It cannot be replaced now for that
sum. The insurance was between
$4,000 and $4,000 Besides the build
ing, typewriters valued at $1,000 were
lost, as we'll as many books and other
property.
Expect to Rebuild
Mr.. Iverson returned to Baraboo on
Sunday night. While in Lodi he UNI
derstood another building would be
erected work to begin in the spring.
The Last Program
The last event in the building was
the Baraboo-Lodi basket ball game on
Friday night. Two graduating classes
have gone out of the building.

The presi- dent left Brest at 4 o'clock this afternoon for Paris, where the heart of France will ac- claim him tomorrow as the nations guest.
 The landing of the president was not only remarkable spectacle with a notable naval pageant for its back ground, but it also marked the first entry of an American president into personal contact with Europe and its affairs
 Although the presidential fleet ar rived at Brest shortly after noon N was not until after o'clock that President and Mrs. Wilson debarked an a harbor boat and set foot on the soil of France. Vast crowds watch ed the trip ashore and the fleets of warships roared a salute as the last stage of the journey was accomp- lisbed.
 On the harbor boat going ashore the president was seen standing on the upper deck with Jules J. Jusserand, French ambassador to the United States, who pointed out the historic walls and monuments of the ancient city.
 As the boat touched the pier the French and American guards of honor presented arms and the strains of the Star Spangled Banner" mingled with the cheers of the great multitude.
