about widespread boycott, whether
the governments of these countries
take official action or not The one
argument advanced which has any hold
on the American public is the question,
If the Allies boycott Germany how can
Germany pay the indemnity?' The an
swcr is clear. The Allies did not en-
ter the war for money, but for self
defence. The Allies will arrange peace
terms not FOR money, but for self-de-
fence The one vital object of the
peace conference overriding all other
considerations Is the prevention of
future wars.
at is conceded that under an Allied
boycott of German manufactured prod
ucts it will take Germany longer to
pay the indemnity than if she is eco
nomically built up by the Allies. This
is an advantage, and rot disadvan-
tagc, since Germany must be kept un-
der control until her indemnity is
paid"

FORM new STATE
German Austrian Deputies
Move for Freedom.
Form Assembly To Care for
Affairs of People.

Basel, Oct. 23.-The German-Aus-
trian deputies in the Austrian reichs
rath have formed an assembly for
the purpose of conducting the affairs
of the Germanic people in Austria
and have issued a declaration an
nouncing the creation of the German
state of Austria"
Karl Seitz. leader of the German
Socialists in Austria. has been
elected president of the assembly.
The deputies have announced their
desire to bring about the autonomy
of the Germans in Austria and to
establish relations with other nations.
The assembly has drawn up a reso
luton respecting the form of gov
ernment of the territory occupied
by the Germans. The German state
of Austria will seek access to the
Adriatic sea in agreement with other
nations. Pending the esta blishment of
a constitution. according to this pro-
gram. the people will be represented
BY the reichsrath deputies consti-
tuted as provincial national as
sembly. This body will represent the
Germans in Austria in negotiations
for peace and will exercise legisla-
tive powers. The legislative branch
will consist of twenty members, who
will have power to contract state
debts and administer interior affairs
of peace" said Herr Seitz, in taking
the presidency. I'VE must do all pos
sible to lessen the misery of the Ger
man and Austrian people. The new
Germa Austria, for which we lay the
foundation. will be constituted in con-
formity with the free will expressed
by the German Austrian people"
Deputy Waldner. in opening the
assembly, announced that he had been
commissioned by the German deputies
in the Austrian reichsrath to convoke
the assembly as the representa- tive as
eembly of the German-Austrians.
There has been evidence for some
time that the German people in Aus
tria. distrusting the wavering policy
of the Austro- Hungarian empire, and
fearing it's dissolution or that it might
draw away from Germany, were de-
sirous of ensuring their own close
unity with the German empire.
The German population in Austria
forms the center of Austrian society
and is the largest of the many clinical
elements in the kingdom. The census
OF 1910 gave the German-speaking
population as 9,950,000 out of a total
of 2S,325,000.

Secretary Daniels Asks for Huge
Sum for Building Craft

Washington, Oct. 23.-War and
peace developments to date fail to
give definite promise of a limitation of
armament after the war.
This was taken to be one of the
meanings behind Secretary Daniels's IS
request for a new three year navy
building programme super dread
naughts, 6 battle cruisers and 140
smaller craft at an estimated cost of
$60O.000,000.
While Daniels is a strons advocate
OF Limitation of armament after war,
he holds that while the war proceeds
1t is well to look out for the future.
He pointed out in asking the new ap-

allay fears that the major ships were
being overlooked in the pressing haste
for destroyers and other anti-subma-
rine craft.
The new battle craft will be the last

GalIigan Wins Out

The Supreme Court of the
State of Wisconsin has decided
that Pat Galligan was the duly
elected Chairman of the town of
Barksdale at the election held in
the spring of 1917. Galligan's
election was contested by Lee
Catlin on the grounds that a
number Of the votes cast by the
Dupont Guards in the town were
illegal.
The case was tried before Cir
cult Judge G. N. Risjord and
was decided in favor of Galligan
but Catlin appealed the case and
the Supreme court has now
affirmed the decision of the low
er court.
The decision of the Supreme
court means that the guards en-
ployed at the Barksdale plant
who make their residence in the
Barracks, are legally entitled to
vote providing they possess the
other necessary qualifications.

Doing Great Work

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union for the city of Washburn
has made a most remarkable record
in their work for helping win the
war and providing comforts for the
boys who have gone to the front in
answer to the call Of Uncle Sam.
The ladies undertook the task OF
furnishing every boy who went
from Bayfield, county with one OF
the genuinely appreciated comforts
known as the Housewife, /" and
how well they have succeeded can
be Judged when the fact is known
that they have supplied 300 boys
with these comforts. Thus it will
be seen that Bayfield, County has
sent out over half thousand of its
best young men who are now in
some branch OF the military service.
To start with the ladies furnished
all the material and completed the
work on $50 housewives which
were given to the Bayfield, county
company that was organized by
Capt. Peavey, and IN addition
probably fifty others were given
out. Thea as the boys have left
here, eiJher in contingents, or in
small parties, the ladies saw to it
that each one was supplied, and
they state further that if there is
one who has not been already pro-
vided it has slipped their attention
and if they eau get his name and
address one will be provided The
ladies have managed to provide all
| the material at THEFT own expense,
but when this fact became known
the County Council of Defense made
an appropriation to the Union of a
substantial sum, and the Dupont
| Protective association made up oil
the employees at Barksdale, have
just recently made ve.y liberal
appropriation to the ladies. The
ladies feel very grateful to these
patriotic organizations, and to all
