gratitude any assistance that the
 allies will give in the regenera-
 tion of Russia and declares that
 Russia should not and shall not
 remain in her present state, which
 "threatens the world with new and
 great cOmmOtions."
 Russia notes, with profound satis- faction" said the message, that her supreme efforts for the common cause, as well as her innumerable and sangui- nary sacrifices, have not been for gotten. The allied powers have forced Germany to renounce the treaty of Brest; they have obliged her to evac- uate Russian territories and to put a stop to the demolishing of Russia's national resources The Russian gov ernment is happy to express the deep sentiment of gratitude which has been evoked in the hearts of the Russian people by this act of generosity of the allies.
 Russia. which is aspiring to the re- uniting of her separated territories, perceives in this act the hope of mak- ing her voice heard at the peace caon- ference and to add her share of col laboration in the rebuilding of the life of nations on the new and unshake- able basis of close and honest friend ship.
 Accepting as the foundation for the reconstruction of Russia the principles of liberty. equality and true democracy, the Russian government is confident that the allied powers are guided in their acts by the high ideas of hu manity, equity and international solid arity and will accept with gratitude their assistance in her efforts, aiming to the regeneration of Russia, Russia should not and shall not remain in her actual state, which threatens the civilized world with new and great com motions, and which could deprive for 8 long time the people already ex- hausted by fatigue of the benefits of peace as well as the victors of the ff.11ite nf thair Nictnrv

Peasants Have
 Arisen Against Landlords

Warsaw, Monday, December 16.--(By the Associated Press.)-The manner in which the Russian peasants in Vol mia have arisen against their land- 1ords is shown by the experiences Of Princess Poticki, who is one of the rsfuges gathered here. Her estate at Dombrovitza was besieged for one week by the peasants. Several Polish peas ants succeeded in beating off the at tacks and a dozen or more of the Rus sians were killed. Finally the Rus sians threw benzine on the roof and set 1t on fire. The defenders then agreed to surrender if the women could go free. The peasants placed the men against the wall and executed all of them including two young cousins of the princess.

FAIR TIME SOON HERE

The time is drawing near for the
holding of the next county fair and
that it may prove the success it al
ways has been, every interest pos
sible should be taken in its welfare.
Secretary Christie is working night
and day preparing for the event and is
thoroughly convinced that the fair this
year will be bigger and better than
ever in spite of the war times.
From an agricultural standpoint
there is every reason ITO expect good
displays, especially so if the farmer
will cooperate as in previous years
and bring samples of what he raises.
To make an exhibit of what our coun-
try produces, success, every raiser
should bring along sample to show
to the visitor and his neighbor what
he is doing.
The steady advances this section of
the country is making in the dairy
industry should insure live stock
show of the very best kind and with
the good barns to house them in and
show in, cattlemen- generally should
not lose this valuable opportunity of
exhibiting to the people what they
have.
In the way of amusements Mr..
Christie has booked some of the very
best attractions and these together
with good race program will keep
the visitors full of excitement and good
cheer.
To make the fair a success and to
carry out the object sought after, every
body should put their shoulder to the
wheel and boost it along. Now is
the time to get busy. The booster
trip planned for next month will push
it greatly. The trip has been out
lined in previous issue and many
from here expect to make the trip.
The Marathon County Fair books
will be out in very short time, CIV
ing the various things wanted on dis
play and premiums.

WHAT Is THE MARATHON WAR
FUND?

A single general fund into which
all contributions of the citizens of
Marathon county are made, and out of
which all contributions for the citizens
OF Marathon county are paid for the
benefit of the boys on the firing line
and those in training together with
other necessary war activities.
The Marathon War Fund means one
well directed, efficiently handled sum
of money, conserving time, effort and
preventing duplication, which reaches
all the people, makes it easier for all
those contributing as it is a system
attic regular small sum paid at stated
intervals; it means a fair collection
and a fair distribution.
When the Marathon War Fund is in
full operation all requests for any
war activities will be referred to the
directors of the fund; the directors
will be elected by the contributors.
When the Second Red Cross Fund
was collected the counties having a
War Fund, such as the Marathon War
Fund, said what is our share?' then
contributed the amount out of it's
War Fund, no soliciting or other work
necessary done in ad-
vance. This is one of the many ad-
vantages of War Fund.
Boost the Marathon War Fund-"He
who gives cheerfully gives doubly."
By this method the people are as
sured that no part of their money
will be appropriated out of the Mara
thon War Fund to any cause that is
not necessary, worthy and properly
handled, and that our share is fair
and just.
The distribution will be made with
out regard to race or denomination,
the one test will be-does it help
the Soldier and Sailor boys and our
country?
The Marathon County Council of
Defense will not recognize any further
solicitation of funds for general needs
while the Marathon War Fund lasts.
This will be the Honor Roll of Mara
thon County. 1t will show the Soldiers
back of the line the army at home
supporting the army at the front. It's
history making, for when the boys re-
turn and read the history of Marathon
County during the war your name
will appear as one whose heart and
purse supported the boys in time of
| need, for "a friend in need is friend
indeed, Are you a friend of the
"Boys?' Do you wish to see them
properly cared for? We want every
man, woman and child in Marathon
County to know what the Marathon
War Fund is and what it will do.
Watch for the date of the Mass
| Meeting to be held in Wausau in
August. Make it real patriotic day
| of assembled patriots to "back the
| boys
ut amt the individuals
Nor the army as a whole
But the everlastin' team work
OF Every bloomin' SOUL"
