AT THE time of the signing of the
armistice, many people seriously doubt
ed the practicability of full compliance
with it's terms. Their apprehensions,
however, seem to have been entirely
groundless, for the work incident to
the taking over of the German fleet.
airplanes and war material, and the
forward movement Of the allied army
through Belgium, eastern France and
even into German territory west of the
Rhine has proceeded steadily and with
out any serious difficulties. An inter-
esting circumstance in this connection
is the fact that the allied armies of oc-
cupation seem to be regarded by both
the local authorities and the people
generally, in the German towns now
being taken over, as iberatOrs and
friends rather than as enemies. This
situation is no doubt due to the fact
that, in the exercise of general control
over German territory the allied au-
thorities are showing themselves to be
much more considerable of the rights of
the people than were the representa-
tives of the former German autOcracy.

THE following taken from a Paris
paper tell important engagements of
the 32nd division 70 which Co. Nj, 128th
Reg. was attached: f'When the Amer
lean army of occupation started it's
march toward the Rhine on November
IL, one of our crack divisions, the 32nd,
was celebrating an anniversary. Just
six months before this division first
planted the American flag on German
soil in Alsace. On May 10, Wisconsin
and Michigan men came under enemy
shell fire, and from that date to No
vember IL the division has outranged
Boche guns. Only ten days after it's
turn in the trenches the 32nd chased
the Boche from the Oureq to the Vesle.
Then it went TO a sector north of Sois-
sons and stormed Juvigny Plateau,
fighting side by side with the heroic
'poilus' of General Mangin. After that
victory with the French it had a rest
for ten days before getting ready for
the final drive. The American army's
scrap north of Verdun was but three
days old when the 32nd went in and for
the next three weeks the Wisconsin and
Michigan boys battled the Boche for
Kreimhilde Steliung. 1t was they who
finally broke through the key position
of sLa Dame Maria from which they
then pushed on to Freya Stellung,
pushing the Boche gunners out of
Bantheville Wood. They carried the
line up to the point where the final at
tack, on November 1, was launched,
and followed in support of the divis-
ions which crossed the Mouse at Dun
and captured Stenay. In the last few
days of the war the SIND went into the
sline in the Meuse bridgehead sector,
and with the French were in the midst
of an attack when the armistice stop
ped fighting. During the war the di-
vision has fought on five fronts-Al-
SAGE, the Vesle, Scissors, Argonne and
the Meuse and has fought twenty of
Germany's best divisions, among them
the Prussian Guards It never yielded
yard of ground to the enemy's coun-
ter-attacks."

The Coal Situation.

The fuel administrator for Wisconsin
has issued the following circular to all
county fuel administrators and dealers
1t is apparent that there is feeling
throughout the state that hard coal is
plentiful. This feeling is reflected in
the trade often refusing to substitute
the various sizes, one for another.
For your information the coal situa-
ton under date of December is as
follows:
There has been received into Wiscon-
sin and distributed SO per cent of the
total allotment for the state of Wiscon-
sin for the winter.
The actual amount, however, is bet
ter reflected in this statement:
The 68 per cent of the allotment only
amounts to So per cent of the amount
which was consumed in the state of
Wisconsin during 1867 from figures
compiled in my office.
In other words, when the state re-
ceives 100 per cent of it's allotment, we
will still be short more than 300, 200
tons of hard coal which was burned in
1867 Add to this shortage the nor
NAL increase of the consumption of
hard coal of 10 per cent per annum and
you have the condition as it exists to-
day.
In addition to this situation the sizes
which have been allotted to the North
west show larger percentage of egg,
furnace and buckwheat; thus making
it necessary to substitute odd sizes
wherever possible. In fact, it is i'm
possible to supply the demand for
chestnut and stove sizes.
The dealers are, therefor, advised
and the county administrators are in
structed, to assist in every way posi-
BILE in substituting those sizes of coal
which are available for the sizes which
have been used in the past.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington has $70,000,00 to appor-
ton under the Federal Aid act for the
building of new highways throughout
the United States during the fiscal
year that will end next July. Within
two days from the signing of the arm
is tice all restrictions with regard to
building new roads were rescinded, and
the highway bull lers of the nation
gathered in Chicago this month to dis
cuss every phase of road building.
From a tentative program that has
Association of State Highway Officials
and the Highway Industries Associa-
ton it would appear that highway con-
troll is drifting toward federal parent
age. Road building has taken on new
significance within the past few years,
and there is strong probability that
returning soldiers will perform USE
full service in demonstrating the value
of explosives in road building. Dyna-
mite has plowed many new highways
in making roads in France, Belgium
and Italy-and the soldiers who learned
more of the value of explosives in mill
tary roal building will not be slow in
applying their knowledge in the max
ing of new highways at home. Sys-
tematic road building must follow up
the old methods, as it has become ap-
parent that loosely constructed high
ways have no place in the scheme of
our national highway With an in
crease of 100 per cent in the motor
truck travel in twenty-four months,
and with this means of transportation
established as part of our new ma,
tional system, the state highway offic-
ials are in entire harmony with the
viewpoint of Washington and it's road
builders in the belief that the time has
come when road building should be a
profession and trade.

REPORTS as to revolutions and coun-
ter revolutions in Germany are multi
plying so fast that it Is difficult even to
keep track of them, and it would be
extremely hazardous for anyone at this
time to predict the final outcome. While
the situation is extremely dangerous,
there is an element of safety in the
fact that the troops in and near Berlin
seem to understand the danger and are
inclined to support the present govern
ment.

Will Get Nitrate Soon.

It is expected that the farmers will
begin receiving the government nj
trate of soda now soon. 1t was an
nounced few days ago from Wash
ington that the farmers will be no
titled directly from the department
of agriculture, instead of through the
county agents, as first contemplated.
Upon notice from Washington the
farmers are to make payment for
their pro rata share of the nitrate:
and when this notice is received the
shipment of nitrate may be expected
to follow Immediately.
Requisition was made for a large
amount of nitrate of soda by the
planters of Bamberg county. 1t is
probable that the allotment to this
county will be considerably short of
the amount desired, as there were
only 100000 tons in the government
supply.
