though he fought many ring battles
against big men like Sullivan, Cor
5ett, Cardiff, McCaffery, kilrain and
Burke. Mitchell was middleweight
pugilist, never turning the scales at
more than 154 pounds when in perfect
condition. His remarkably fast foot
work and skilful boxing offset this
disadvantage in weight and he proved
TO be equally effective as a punisher
when fighting either wit h0r without
padded gloves
Mitchells first ring battle was with
bare knuckles when at the age of IL

Birmingham, the bout lasting almost
one hour. He scored several other

Let every American who once was German o.
who feels bound to Germany by ties of blood ant
tradition read again Mr.. Janke's letter: ~
l am German by descent and an Ameri-
can by choice. l think America, my coun-
try, very much for the privileges we have
had. This is free country, and we want
to keep it free from the faint of Germany,
because the German government holds the
German people as serfs, and nothing good
can come from slavery.
The sole interest of Germans in this
country in Germany should be the establish
ment in our old country of government
such as we have in the United States and
the hope that when such government is
established our former feow-countrymen
may find as good man to lead them as our
President Wilson so that German people
may really be free from Hun slavery.
We Americans Of German descent are
fighting for liberty not only for ourselves
and fellow Americans but for our relatives
and friends in the old country. We must
look at it in this light we must win the war,
and forever kill the power of the kaiser.

Underwood, n. D

To make the world safe for democracy we must
make Germany safe. So long as the present spirit
prevails in Germany, though she be beaten to her
knees now, there would be the same menace for
future generations to face. America is as truly
fighting for the liberty Of Germany as it is fight
ing for liberty for Belgium and for France and for
our own land. The autocracy which plunged the
world into this war not only must be defeated. 1t
must and shall be exterminated, welded out, root
and branch if the world is to be forever safe for
democracy.

Little Business Done
BY Advisory Board

Very little business was transacted
by the State Industrial Commission and
the Advisory Wage Board at their
joint meeting in Milwaukee ON Tuesday
afternoon. At this meeting it had been
intended to appoint four additional
members of the advisory committee, the
four to represent the interest of the
public at large as distinguished from
employers and employees.
Fifty names had been suggested
from which to choose the four members
still lacking to complete the board and
the advisory board named sixteen more,
making total of sixty-six from which
to choose four.
On account of the fact that hardly
any members of the industrial commits
sion nor the advisory committee knew
anything at all about the persons sug-
gested no choice was made, but the
matter was left entirely in the hands
of the industrial commission.
However, it was decided that one of
the members should be a member Of the
educational system of the state and one
should represent the medical profess
sion. It was suggested that one rep
resent the ministerial profession, but
this was not decided upon
The members on the part Of the en-
ployees were strong for DR.. Commons,
of Madison. Miss Janet Van Hise of
Madison, was also suggested as one of
the members. But it is claimed that
Miss Van Hise's chances for appoint
ment are jeopardized by the fact that
she has already committed herself on the
proposition of a wage minimum, hav-
ing written an article and published
lit over her own signature in which
she held that $3.50 should be the
minimum weekly wage for women
1t is the sense of the industrial COM
mission and the advisory board that the
new members should be composed Of
persons who have not committed them
selves upon the proposition. They hold
that their duties are judicial and think
that a person who has expressed him
self in regard to the matter is just
as ineligible as a judge or juror who
expresses his opinion about case
before the trial
Miss Catherine Williams, and Judge
NJ. S. Sheridan, of Milwaukee; A. J..
Frame, of Waukesha, and Miss Rose
Perdue, former factory Inspector and
social worker, of Milwaukee, were also
suggested. 1t was recommended that
two Of the members should be chosen
from Milwaukee, and one from the
towns in the Fox River Valley.
Secretary Conrad Shearer, of the
Manufacturers Association, is mem
Der of the advisory board and was
in attendance at the meeting on Tues
day afternoon.

his military service he has been con
nected with several camps and can

that the really bright spot in mill
bary service was the helpfulness of
these organizations.

way for you to show your friendship is
by the aid of these organizations.
