STATEMENT OF DANIELS
America Has One Hundred and
Fifty Ships in War Zone

A great fleet of American war
ships. numbering more than $50
vessels, and including in addition
to the far-famed destroyers, bat
ships, cruisers, submarines, gun
boats, coast guard cutters, con-
verified yachts, tugs and other aux
iliaries,. is operating in the war
zone.
Manning this feet and the many
small submarine chasers, which are
not reckoned in the total, and do
ing duty on air patrol and at the
supply stations ashore are IS, 900
officers and men, half the navy's
personnel when the nation entered
the war just year ago.
These hitherto carefully guarded
facts we're disclosed at Cleveland,
Ohio, by Secretary Daniels in an
address at a celebration marking
the opening ofthe third liberty loan
campaign. Mr.. Daniels said that
while he was not at liberty to tell
the toll the feet has taken of Ger
man submarines, the nation could
rest assured that our forces have
inflicted telling losses upon the
enemy"

THE next DRAFT
1t is Claimed Men in Second Draft
TO Be Called

Orders for the mobilization of
the first large number of men of
the second draft will 90 out to the
governors of the states very soon.
Fifteen thousand men Of the
second draft are now mobilizing,
and the April call about to 90 out
will represent probably more than
the months proportion of the $780,
900 men who, it previously has
been announced. will be called dur
ing the remaining nine months of
the year.
To call the 100000 in equal
monthly increaments would mobi-
lie them at about a rate of 90
900 a month. However, there is
no assurance that this will be a
fixed figure, because the flow of
the men will be determined by the
needs of the army in France. As
Gen. Pershing may call for specl-
ally qualified troops an average of
10000 a month may be much ex-
ceeded or much decreased.
1t has been announced that the
men will be sdrawn as gradually
and in as small numbers as pos
sible so as not to dislocate indus
try and particularly agriculture.
So far as possible this plan will be
followed.
Since the above was put in type
it has been ascertained that the al
lotment of negroes for Carroll
county, under the second draft
call, is only 5. They will leave
between April 26 and 80 for Camp
Lee, Petersburg, Va.

WISCONSIN AND
SUGAR SHORTAGE
ESTIMATES SHOW NECESSITY OF
so PER CENT INCREASE IN
BEET SUGAR ACREAGE.

Madison. Wis.-Wisconsin for some.
time has felt the effects Of . sugar
famine.
Beet sugar companies of Wisconsin,
having carefully gone over the situa-
ton. have outlined q plan for the
growing season that will make a sugar
famine In Wisconsin next fall absolute
~ impossible.
The State Council OF Defense and
the Wisconsin Department OF Agri-
culture and tho College Of Agri-
culture are cooperating for desired
increased production OF beet sugar
this year. and a pamphlet setting forth
all phases of the situation Ia being cir
quilted By the State Council Of De-
tense.
According to best estimates. there
must be an increase of so per cent In
beet sugar acreage In Wisconsin In
1918.
In 1917 there was q shortage OF $780,
900 tons below normal requirements.

the business men and the merchants
cooperate to place the seriousness OF
this situation before the farmer and
create in the farmer the disposition to
meet this situation in the face of the
crisis in which the country Is involved.
The beet sugar companies, without
any guarantee as to the future price Of
sugar from the United States Food
Administrator. and without demand on
the part of the farmer. have voluntar-
lily offered contract for the 1918 crop
of sugar beets, price heretofore un.
heard of, viz, $1,000 per ton, thus put.
ting forth every possible inducement
that 1t could to have the farmers IL
crease their planting the coming cam
paign. This price OF $1,000 per ton
is 25 per cent higher than In 1917, and
662s per cent higher than in 1916. The
sugar companies will provide the seed
necessary for planting the crop at a
price of Csc per pound, whereas such
seed actually costs the companies soc
per pound. The price per ton means
delivery on board cars at the nearest
shipping point.
The beet sugar companies also take
it upon themselves to furnish the hand
la Dor needed for care of the beet sugar
crop. The Importance of this one item
can be more fully appreciated when it
is realized that this labor thus fur
nished also can be used at times for
care of other crops.

Why Russia, France and Great Britain
Entered the War
Published Of Defense
BY G. c. SELLERY. Professor Of History.
University of Wisconsin

The friendship of Russia for Servis
has long been an A c of the Balkan
problem. Russia was bound by ties
of race and religion to protect Servia
She was equally bound by self-interest
For two centuries 1t had been Russia's
ambition to get access to the Mediter
ranean, either by conquering Turkey
or by having the Turkish possessions
fall into the hands of friendly Balkan
states. 1t was therefore as certain
that Russia would try to protect the
independence of Servia in 1914 as that
the United States would try to pro-
tect South America against attack by
a European power.
The attack of Austria upon Servia
did bring Russia to the rescue, but
Russia showed every desire to avoid
war. First, she induced Servia to make
a most submissive answer to the Aus
trian ultimatum. Then, she accepted
all offers of mediation between herself
and Austria, and agreed to accept any
form of conference which Germany
might suggest. Finally, she proposed
that the Austro-Servian dispute
should be referred to the Hague Tri.

On July 81 Austria replied to Rus

all her troops, and Russia followed suit.
Then, for the first time July 3D.
Austria began to negotiate. At once
the German emperor seized the reins
and ordered the Car to stop all mill
tary preparations within twelve hours.
To obey, In view of German and Aus
trian preparedness for war. would
have been madness. The Gear replied
by urging the emperor to join with
him in working for the preservation Of
peace, even though they were both
calling out their forces. But Emperor
William was unyielding, and later In

The British foreign minister. Sir Il.
Grey, labored as zealously as the

states that the greatest need for in

seasons of 1918 and 1919. If Bafaga
County is to yield her share Of the
absolutely essential food products,
more land will have to be cleared.
Machinery Demonstrations in land
clearing by experts can be arranged in
three different. places in Baraga County
this spring. The farmer on whose land
the clearing is to be done will have to
furnish team and driver and another
man. The company that puts on the
demonstration will furnish machinery
and one or more men. Who are the
three farmers in different parts of the
county who want to help this along and
to get some land cleared? Let the
County Agent know at once so that he
can arrange to have this done as soon
as possible.
