RAIL RAISE OF 20 PER CENT
McAdoo Promises Increase in Effect
May 5; Poorly Paid to Bene-
fit Most.

Washington, April 23.-Director
General McAdOO sent q message to all
the employees of the railroad admins
tration, giving them practical assur-
ance that they would receive a sub
Stantial increase in wages about May
), Immediately after his return on the
completion Of the Liberty loan drive.
The wage increase will date from
January l, and the director general
passes along the broad hint that the
increase will be four months "velvet''
and no better use could be made of it
than in turning this to the support of
the war, for which they will receive
IA per cent Il year interest
It is generally believed that the adj
vance will average about 20 per cent.
This Will mean the cutting of a melon
worth something like $230,0OO,OOO for
the employees. It will be divided, in
view Of the high cost of living, so the
more poorly paid men will receive the
greater prOpOrtiOnate Increase.

the horse barn on the old Cutler Borah
farm southwest of Fennimore, now

Vile. with r. w. Johnson formerly of

sumed. The loss is estimated at about
$1,000 The barn was insured for $500
and the stock for $3.50 The cause of

II. {. DEARHoLT.. nj D., DIRECTOR

Two years ago in this column we ad
vocated, as health promoting agency,
the daylight saving provision which
has now been put into effect. This fact
is mentioned, not for the purpose Of at
tracing credit for forehandedness but
to emphasize again an important posi-
bility of gain which is still being ig-
nored by practically all writer's.
The saving in electric light is obvious
and impressive. The possibility Of
gaining a great increase in health is not
so obvious, and there is a chance of its
being missed altogether We have
great need of storing up good supply
Of health, Of red blood and resistance
this summer. They will be needed
during the coming winter quite as
much as a cellar full of vegetables and
bin full of grain.
At present, about one, seventh of the
Wis onsin physicians are in uniform.
Nurses have left and are leaving daily
Whereas the soldiers represent people
who, ordinarily do not require physi-
clan, those remaining at home repre-
sent the aged and the sickly, who
naturally need frequent medical atten-
ton. Those physicians available for
civil needs will be so busy and so much
overworI1ed that it should be part Of
our thrift to avoid preventable illness
AS a nation, we have enjoyed too
little physical play. Utter absence Of
bodily exercise has been one cause Of
ills such as nervousness, insomnia or
constipation, which beset most of us.
With an extra hour of sunlight at our
disposal, we should be inpelled to
spend that much time out of doors in
baseball, swimming, war gardening, Or
at least, in "breathing the free air"
Now that the maintenance Of physi-
cal vigor has become patriotic duty in
the interest Of national conservation
and national efficiency, let us regard
this extra hour Of sunlight as one which
is pledged to health.
If you wish to know something of
how the daylight saving plan came to
be, and what it may mean to you, drop
a card to the Health instruction Blu
reau, University Extension Division.

ALIEN ENEMY WOMEN IN
THE u. S. MUST REGISTER
Must Comply With Law Governing
German MaIes-chiIdren over II
Included in Act.

Washington, April 22.-Drastic reg
"alien enemy" women in the United
States was set forth in a proclama
ton issued by President Wilson.
Under them ali women of German
birth Or citizenship above the age OF
fourteen years must register and com
ply with all the rules laid down.
This applies, according to officials
Of the department of justice, as
we'll to American women Of wealth
who have married German titles as
to women born in that country.
Under the regulations those who
fail to register will be subject to
arrest. They will be barred, except
under special permits, from the same
restricted zones around embarkation
points and war terminals now closed
to male enemy aliens.
The entire District of Columbia is
closed to them, and within As hours
all who have been here as transients
must leave. All those who have lived
here for more than a year will have
until May 5 to get out.
Arrest and internment for the dura~
ton of the war faces those who dis,
obey.
This is to say, the only inhibition
against woman subjects of the latter
country is that they shall not enter
or leave the country without per-
mission, only those classed as dan
gerous or disloyal" being subject to
arrest.

The Barberry Bush.

Dodgeville Chronicle: DR.. E. d. Ball
and R. w. Lenkel, representing the fed
eral government, visited town Friday
city. They located all places having
tall barberry bushes on the lawns and
in the hedges, and requested that those
people remove them as patriotic duty.
The common barberry helps spread the
destructive item-rust of cereals, wheat
especially. The low growing japanese
barberry however is harmless. The
best place to get a comparison of these
two shrubs is al the home Of Mr. Smell
ker, who has Japanese barberry hedge.

And Slaus Refuse
To Support Budget

AMSTERDAM, June 30.-Emperor
Charles of Austria has commanded
Premier Won Seydler to carry on the
government. but he has failed to tell
MN how to do it. Messages received
mere indicate that the Premier has
enormous difficulties ahead of him, as
the Poles remain adamant in their at
titude of opposition to his policy. In
TACT, the Poles already have declared
that they will not even consider
economic concessions with which, it is
reported, DR.. Won Seydler intended to
placate them. The Premier has now
appealed to the Poles mot to obstruct
the provisional budget too severely"
The Czechs and South Slavs are re-
soved to hight any government that
!,eids to German demands, and they
plainly told Emperor Charles at an
audience the other day that thew would
refuse to vote for the provisional
budget and the war credits if DR.. Won
Seydler remained in office.
On the other hand, the Ukrainian
members CT the Austrian Parliament
suddenly have come to the rescue of
me German national party in support
OF Won Seydler to the extent of de-
clarlng that they will vote for both the
budget and the war credit on condi
a, oIon That the Premier remain in office.

not tolerate his dismissal at the behest

10 Celebrate the
"Greatest Fourth"
1t Marks Renewed Unity of
English Speaking Peoples,
Says London Paper

LONDON, June ao.-After reviewing
what the United States had accom-
plshed during the last year, "The Sun
day Observer" in an editorial bearing
july" says: -
In this country our people from the
Nlng downward are preparing to keep
America's day as Though it were our
own day. This is because VIC feel and
remember many things.
The first Independence Day was
festival of separation from the British
empire. For US next weeks Fourth of
july VIII celebrate after century and
half the renewed community Of tho
whole English speaking world for war
ana al peace. That is why the bells of
ot; Paurs will ring out on Thursday.
Never let us forget that beyond the
war the enduring friendship of the
Ehgilsh speaking peoples will be the
greatest cause in the world No other
cause can replace it's power for good"
The Observer" recalls the plea of
Lord Reading, the British Ambassador
at Washington, for an Anglo Anne rican
alliance, and says that if the supreme
day Of indissoluble partnership ever
comes then Great Britain and her do-
mlnions will be the first to wish that
the Fourth of July might be celebrated
year by year and be a festival of free
dom not only for America but for an
alliance of all English speaking So
cletles and at last for all mankind"

Americans Take 36
Capfives and InHict
Heavy Losses on Foe

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Raiding
and patrolling activities at several
points held by American troops were
reported in General Pershing's COM
munique for yesterday, which was re-
ceived to-day at the War Department.
The statement follows:
"Section A-Raiding and patrolling
have been marked at several points. In
Picardy this morning a small detach
ment of our troops captured thirtysiX
prisoners, of whom one was an officer,
and inflicted severe losses on the en-
emy. Our casualties were small. In
the Chateau Thierry region strong
hostile patrol was driven back and suf-
A raiding party which attempted to
reach our lines in the Vosges was re-
pulsed by rifle fire.
"Section BIN the Chateau Thierry
region the day Of June 26 and June '27,
noon to noon. was marked by the oper-
atlons of our troops south of Torchy,
where our line has advanced one third
of mile and our positions improved
with little opposition. Besides this
our infantry was active in continuous
patrolllng and our artillery in deliver
ing harassing and destructive fire.
German Artillery Busy
"The German artillery sheNed our
positions in front and rear with con-
siderable vigor. The Belleau, Clerem-
bauts and Merette woods along our
front lines, as we'll as positions in
the rear extending back several kilo-
metres and covering most of the sec
tor, received harassng and destructive
fire during most of the time covered by
this report.
"The enemy continues to construct
works in and near the woods around
Bouresches. In the early morning a
large German patrol was seen near
Vaux moving northeast. On being
challenged by our listening posts it
disappeared. From the firing and cries
which were heard shortly afterward it
is believed the patrol was fired upon
by it's own machine guns.
"The German airplanes showed an
even greater increase in activity, fly
ing up and down the Marne in numer-
Gus groups of from two to seven ma
chimes. In the enemy's rear areas a
number of men were seen circulating
in small groups, and seemed to be con-
tinuing the pillage of French property
which has been noticed on numerous
occasions on the north bank of the
river Fresh trenches are being con-
structed and new wire has been seen
in the enemy's line. The infantry
seemed to be more than usually upon
the alert.
