THE END
They re Filling The Shells

This year we have had a surpris-
ing demonstration of the ability of
the poultry industry to expand on
short notice. Every day reports are
coming in TO the Food Administra-
ZION which indicate that the hens are
digging in with both feet and filling
shells like high geared munition
plants. The storage houses now have
about 100000 cases put away,
which means that the high point of
last year has been almost reached
a this early date.
The antihen-killing rule, which
stirred up a storm of protest at the
time it was put into effect, has served
The purpose of increasing our supply
of concentrated food, and production
is still going on at such rate as to
insure our people an adequate supply
of eggs.

French people, with the proTerblGt
lucidity of their mental process aud
their clear recognition of the reali-
ties of things, are turning in the dl-
rection of fostering and stimulating

They have tried bureaucratic

SPAN Neutral, But Sympathetic.
AS to Spain, although German in
trigue, INSCRIPTIONS plotting and
propa ganda are rampant, the widely
prevalent impression that ner people
are predominantly pro-German is el-
roneous. Spain is neutral and means
to remain out of the war, but ! an
convinced that her sympathies, on
the whole, are more pro-Ally than
otherwise, and can be made still
more so.
The developments incident to the
war have greatly strengthened, to-
gether with the economic position
and prosperity, the national consci-
BUSINESS of Spain. Their policy is
Spain for the Spaniards. They don't
intend after the war to be the tail
to the kite of any nation or group of
nations.
The prevailing sentiment is friend
ly to America, and l am convinced
that with understanding, tact and
sympathy towards Spain, coupled
with reasonably liberal policy in
furnishing her the raw materials and
other things she needs from us, we
can obtain everything from her
which we have a right to expect
from a friendly disposed neutral.
Several plans are under contem-
plation for closer and more active re
lationship between America and
Spain after the war, which is greatly

The Germans are leaving no stone
unturned to secure for their indus
tries and commerce after the war an
advantageous influential and perma-
nent footing in Spain, which country
owing to its geographic and econo-
mic situation, bids fair to be an
important field of activity.
1t is TO be hoped that We shall not
delay too long in laying at least the
ground work for the adequate as

Our Army.
cannot find words to express the
depth and intensity of my admIra-
ton for the spirit, the morale and
the achievements of the American
Army.
Ii is difficult to speak of our boys
and their leaders without using Ian
guage which may sound rhapsodlcaI.
and which yet is no more than the
bald and sober truth. l have met
a great many officers and men on the
boat going over to Europe, at our
army bases, along the line of commu-
nication and at the front.
Everywhere ! found the same SIM
ME and transformations, yet grip and
iron determination to hold life cheap
for the homo rand glory and safety
of America; everything the same
modest, sympathetic and soldlerly
bearing, and keen and quickwitted
adaptability; everywhere the same
note of splendid and eager courage,
of willing discipline and service, OF
accomplishing endurance under hard
ships and discomforts, of buoyant
good nature and humor, of clean and
kindly thought and feeling.
There is grateful acknowledge
ment in the army of many things ad-
mirably done for the welfare of the
men. And there is universal thank
fulness that, as far as it is humanity
possible to prevent it, the home au-
thorities have not permitted politics
to touch the army. and that merit IS
sought for, recognized and rewarded.
Only Minor Complaints.
| did not hear single real COM
plant except on one minor score
and on that the complaint is almost
enthusiastically, the stiff collar
and general appropriateness and
discomfort of our army uniform,
which, by the universal verdict OF
our own men and of those OF other
nations, is both the least well-appear-
ing and the least practical of all uni
forms.
There is also some srumbllng
about the dilatoriness in making pay
ment to soldiers, and about the slow
ness with which mail is handled-the
latter a really serious grievance, for
prompt and frequent communication

Some who had been supplied with

ANCHOR ICE INTERPRETED
WITH LIGHTING SYSTEM.

On Christmas eve, as our people
were seated about cheerful fires, or
were arranging Christmas trees and
otherwise preparing for Christmas
day, the electric lights went out. A
moments investigation showed that
the trouble was not confined to any
one home, but was general through
out the city. After sitting in dark
ness for some ten minutes or more,
candles and lamps were brought out
and lighted; the current was turned
on again soon afterwards and light
was had as usual. Ice forming at
the big wheel, necessitated closing
down. The same trouble prevented
getting Juice" from Mosinee, Merrill
and other points, so it was necessary
to set the steam plant in operation
which was done.
WauSau has been very fortunate in
this respect, since the city and its
homes have been lighted by electric
ity, there have been very few times
when the light has been cut off and
then for only a few moments at a
time, caused by an electric storm,
usually. On Tuesday night, it being
Christmas eve, made it very trying for
shoppers in the various stories.
