you beat it? Here are the names of
five of my men. Ed. Zglenicki, Dave
Zuchowitzky, Steve Zywicki, Joe Szel-
merski, and j. ]. Straszynski. l only
have ninety-ope names on my roll.
Anyway these men l have are a good
bunch of fellows and we get along
fine.
| called on the Wausau boys last
evening, and l noticed their arms
were lame. l presume the shots
caused it, or probably it was on ac-
count of their last evening at home.
We had Memorial exercises near
the new monument here, Decoration
day, which was also unveiled on this
day. 1t was rather warm and we had
to stand for about two hours. There
were over 10000 soldiers at the ex-
erc1ses and it was some sight.
The Memorial day program at Camp
Grant was presided over by Major
General Charles H. Martin, and opened
with selections by massed bands, after
which there was massed singing with
the war version to the song, "There's
a Long Long Trail a Winding" as
follows:
There's long, long trail a-winding
INTO No Mans Land in France,
Where the shrapnel shells are burst
ing, but we must advance;
Therell be lots of drills and hiking
until our dreams all come true.
But were going to show the Kaiser
how the Yankee boys go through" :"
This was followed by the invocation,
presidents proclamation, massed
bands, unveiling and presentation of
monument, acceptance of monument,
and more massed singing. The war
version to the song, Onward, Chris
tian Soldiers" was given as follows:
Forward, Allied Soldiers, fighting
for the right
Fer world of Freedom and we'll win
| the fight
Like mighty river, pushing toward
the sea,
We are marching onward, on to Vic
tory"
| Chorus:
| forward Allied soldiers, Fighting for
the right,
Meath the flag of freedom, we shall
win the fight"
An address, closing prayer and bene-
diction and the singing of "The Star
Spangled Banner" closed the days
exercises.
l saw Turn to the Right" at the
Liberty last week and it was very
good. They have some very fine
shows there, but it's too warm these
evenings to watch a show, and besides
it's almost two miles from our bar
racks.
I'll bet there will be some fun to-
night for all the commissioned
officers sleep in the same barracks.
After a hard days work most of the
men usually talk in their sleep. If you
are awake about midnight, you can
hear, forward march, 1, 2, "a; get in
line; and all sorts of commands. Oh,
it's a gay life.
Will have to quit as the boys are
after me to take a walk over to the
park

THIRTY-EIGHT SENT BACK

Thirty-eight out of 253 selected men,
sent from Marathon County on the
9th day of May, to Camp Grant, have
been sent back home, owing to ply
sicaI defects.
Will some one explain why these
thirty-three men were passed as nhy-
sically perfect and sent to Camp
Grant? Selected men as well as vol
unteers, are given a rigid physical
examination here at the county seat,
and at that time they should be told
that they cannot be accepted on ac-
count of physical disability. Many of
these young men give up their posi-
tions and when returned find that they
are out of work Then it is more or
less of humiliation to be sent back
home and published mot accepted. -
1t is diseouraging to say the least.
Let the physical examinations be
such hereafter as will excuse a young
man without it being necessary for
him to make every preparation to be
away at war for several years, and
especially, to give up positions, held
for many years.

PRIVATE NICHOLAS

On Friday evening last, Private
Herbert ~ Nicholas gave a patriotic
address in the court room at the court
house, under the auspices of the 10y
atty Legion. The room was perfectly
inadequate to hold any sort of a crowd
and it was soon filled and many could
not get in. c. H. Ingraham led COM
munity singing and several patriotic
songs were sung with a vim. The
speaker was introduced by j. l..
Sturtevant. Private Nicholas has been
abroad in the trenches for seven
months. His address was in the ma
ture of his experiences, the conditions
of the American fighting forces in
France, and the necessity of extend
ing all the help and comforts pos
sible not only to American boys, but
to the allies in general. That his ad-
dress was well received was evident,
from the applause which he received.
Addresses of this kind should be given
in more commodious quarters, in
order that more of our people may
have chance to be present.

Died: At Wausau, October 81, from
the effects of wounds received on the
battle field, M. M. Charles, in his 65th
year. Mr.. Charles came here in
November, 1S43, several years before
there was any such place as Wausau,
For time he, was engaged in the
lumber business, afterwards devoting
himself to the law, and became a
strict constructionist, somewhat tech
nical, but one whose opinion was al
ways respected and never disputed
until after the question had been
thoroughly studied. On the first call
for troops Mr.. Charles enlisted in
the 7th Wisconsin Infantry, and was
wounded at the battle of Antietam by
the bursting of a shell, fragment
just below the right collar
bone and passing down out through
the shoulder blade. From the field of
battle he was carried to the hospital,
and there remained until able to travel
to his home. The wound has been a
constant source of annoyance, break
ing out occasionally, the last time ac-
companied with erysipelas which
caused his decease. During the past
twenty years Mr.. Charles has held
various offices of trust in the city and
county, and discharged the duties of

LIEUT.. LIVINGSTON
NOT WOUNDED

1t now turns out that Lieut. Clifford
Livingston of Merrill, who is in
France, was not wounded as reported
a few weeks ago. He has written home
and says:
MAY 15.-I was worried for the
first time in my life abroad. They
tell me l was reported wounded and
even the Red Cross made inquiries
Guess the United States army wants
to show we are doing something so
they swell the list with a few of us
who had a Whit of gas. The gas
sent over by the Boche was a very
light concentration because it came
in shells. Thus there is much air to
neutralize the effect. One kind was
tear gas; it makes you cry if you
don't wear mask. The other was
chlorine, which irritates the throat
and produces coughing and heavy
concentration. We wore our gas
masks all the time, which was alb
solute protection.

LIVELY AT THE NEW BRIDGE

There was great deal of travel
across the new falls bridge Sunday,
and the autos had two very good
roads across before noon, so that
vehicles could go to the right, whether
coming or going. The disappearance
of the high steel frame work Of the
old bridge vastly improves the looks
of things, as one man said, at looks
as if old big bull had lost his whisk-
ers." When completed, the bridge is
going to be a wonderful impetus to
business and travel.

CROPS

Continued rains the past week, has
made conditions still worse on the
low lands in Marathon county. One
farmer said: 1--WE have Had enough
rain, properly distributed to last seven
years." He says that farm meadows
can not be used at present for stock
because of the accumulated water and
soft condition of the soil, crops in
low lands are about destroyed. This
will not aggregate a great deal and
still it is not too late to plant other
things in this land for this season.

NEW CONCRETE BRIDGE

Every vestige of the old steel bridge
across the falls was removed by last
Saturday and on Sunday teams and
autos were allowed to cross at their
own risk. The city had not accepted
the bridge and the railing was not up

to go up to the Leahy & Beebee bridge.

while the road bed is little rough
it was not bad. Soon the road bed
siK be paved, the railing be placed
and then Wausau will have one of the
finest bridges in the country.
