House on Friday night, Nov. 80.
AS conductor of choral and or
chestral associations, as composer of
several symphonies, two grand operas,
numerous beautiful songs, Mr.. Her

compliments paid him. Among the
better known of his musical comedy
offerings are prince Ananias,' "The

"Bebette," "Cyano de Bergerac," "The
Madcap Duchess" "The Victory
"Naughty Marietta" "The Only Girl
Princess Pat" Eileen" and what is
considered to be the best of all "Her
Regiment" This list has made for
him the distinguished name in Amer
ica's history of musical compositions.
In composing "Her Regiment" Mr..
Herbert, is said to have provided
plenty of Herbertique melodies, which
are sure to set lips a-whistling and
toes a-tingling. His associate in this
work in William LeBaron, who wrote
the book and lyrics. Joe Weber is
directing the tour of "Her Regiment"
and has retained Frank Moular and
the same cast as seen at the Knick-

IS WIN.THR.WAR MEASURE.
Forces Combine i'm One Big Campaign
Instead of Two Separate
Ones.

Adoption of the national plan by
which Red Cross Christmas Seals
will be given this year as premiums
with Red Cross memberships instead
of being placed on sale in a separate
campaign is striking evidence of the
spirit of cooperation which has been
so large factor in the winning of the
war. 1t will be the first time since
the organization of the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association ten
years ago that there has been no Red
Cross Christmas Seal Sale in Wiscon-
sin. This year the state association
puts aside its annual campaign to as
sist in making a monster success of
the combined campaign to be conduct
ed just before the holiday season by
the American Red Cross and the Ma
tional tuberculosis association and to
be known as the Christmas Roll Call
This union Of forces ror the 1918
campaign does not mean the perma-
nent abandonment of the annual
Christmas Seal Sale by which up to
the present time the educational cam
paign against tuberculosis in Wiscon-
sin has been financed 1t is a win
the-War measure adopted for the
period of the war only and animated
by the loyal desire of the two nation
al organizations and their local
branches to centralize effort, to econ
OmiZe the time of workers, and to
minimize as far as possible the num-
Der of financial demands made ON the
public.
The cooperative Christmas cam
paign is official recognition of the
anti-tuberculosis campaign as war
wo-', which must of necessity have
been undertaken by the Red Cross
were it not for the fact that it Is
already being done by the establish
ed anti-tuberculosis association. I'm
der the agreement by which the anti
tuberculosis agencies combine their
Christmas campaign with the Christ
mas Roll Call of the Red Cross, the
Red Cross has assumed the respon-
sibility of financing the anti-tubercu-
losiS work for the coming year and
has appropriated $2,50O,000 for this
purposes This appropriation will be
made directly to the National Tuber-
culosis association. Each state as
sociatiOn receives it's approtionment
from the national association, being
guaranteed a sum equal to the gross
seal sale of last year.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Place Another Monument on the COun-
ty Square and When Dedicated
Have q Gathering of the
Soldiers and Citizens.

A prominent citizen has made a
| good suggestion in the way OF gen
eral war-end celebration which should
have consideration. He suggests that
suitable monument be arranged for
| to commemorate the Spanish-Ameri-
can and the present world war, which
has just come to an end. The mon
ument to stand on the court house
square, on the north side opposite the
civil war monument which now stands
| on the south side of the square.
In the most progressive cities of our
| land, especially in the east and south,
the most elaborate monuments have
been erected to the memory of the
brave boys who have died fighting
for their country, that future genera
tions might enjoy the blessings of this
great and free country. This has
shown the splendid spirit of the people
and just appreciation of the boys
who have given up their lives in the
cause of liberty and to those of the
living who participated in these wars.
Further, the plan suggested is to-
have the dedication of this monument
| in the summer time, when the soldiers
| have all returned; have them meet in
Wausau, the county seat, from every
| part of the county, parade our streets
amid the booming of canons and play
| ing of bands; have them bring their
| families and relatives, and enjoy a
rousing picnic in which all can join;
have a program of addresses by public
men and the soldiers, music and every
things that goes to make the occasion
what it should be-one of the greatest
events in the history of Wausau.
The plan should be given considera-
tion By the various celebration COM
mittees.
Mayor Sell has appointed commit
| tee on homecoming celebrations, con-
sisting of A. V. Gearhart, chairman;
Mark Schofield, Arthur Kiefer, George
3orowitz and Paul Zielsdorf.
The Chamber of Commerce has also
| appointed a committee to work with
the city committee, consisting of Judge
A H. Reid, Chairman; O.. c. Lemke,
A. H. Zimmerman, John A. Sullivan
and w. r. Chellis.
A. V. Gearhart has also asked the
| members of the Marathon County
Council of Defense to assist in this
work.
