DEATH OF SERG. CARL F. PLAUTZ

Early Thursday morning, Sergt. Carl
F. w. PlautZ, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Plautz, of this city, died at
Camp Vail, Little Silver, N. j., of
gastric hemorrhage. He had been ill
and was in the army hospital at that
camp. He had been visited by his
brother-inlaw, two weeks previous
and he was then improving.
Sergeant Plautz was with the army
in Texas for three years during the
Mexican troubles and was with the
mounted scouts of Montana In April,
1917, he went in to the army with the
selected men, being promoted to Serg-
geant at Camp Grant, Ill.
He was 26 years of age having been
born in Wausau on the 7th of Deem
Der, 1892. Besides his parents, he
leaves two brothers, Arthur, and Will
bert. The former is at training
school at Camp Greenleaf, Ca, and
the latter in school at st. Paul. He
is also survived by two sisters, Mrs
H. LueCk, Arlington, Mimi, and Mrs.
e. Kramer, of this city.
The remains arrived in Wausau on
Saturday and the funeral services
Hamilton street, on Monday afternoon
and later from st. Stephens church,
Rev. VIM. Spiegel officiating. A de-
tachment of Co. G, and the 10th Inf.
band escorted the remains to Pine
Grove cemetery. The following of
Co. C, acted as pail bearers: w. A.
Evers, Walter German, Robt. M. Alt
man, T. S. Doris, G. H. Hooker and
Colwert Pier.

REDUCING FEVER HEAT

Among the casualties of the war,
which no one will regret, may be
counted large number of pet pre-
JUDGES and bad habits which have
succumbed before the demands of the
allied armies. Gone is the woman
who wouldn't use substitutes" and
her husband who wouldn't eat em."
Saving of meat, wheat and sugar has
improved thousands of digestions this
year. Saving of gasoline has taught
the benefits and joys to be derived
from exercise. Now, the fuel admins
tration announces that we must keep
the temperature of our homes and
workshops down to 6S degrees during
the coming winter.
Just as we have been eating too
much in the past, so have we been
heating our houses and work places
too much. And the excess heat, in
stead of benefiting us, has been pois-
oning us and sapping our vigor and
strength. We have been doing our
best indoors to Offset the great resist
ance building power or our finest and
healthiest of cold, outdoor climates.
And like the drug fiend who considers
his drug essential to his comfort and
well-being, so we, as people, come
to consider our superheated, dried-out,
indoor air essential to our comfort
and well-being.
If people will play the restricted
heat game as whole heartedly and in
as fine spirit as they have the re-
stricted meat and wheat game, we
shall have gained much in national
health and vigor. There will be fewer
victims of colds, pneumonia, grippe,
and other house diseases, which are
now causing more deaths and more
days of invalidism than shot and shell
are causing on all the battlefelds Of
Europe.

PAUL TOBEY SERIOUSLY
INJURED
Giving An AerOpIane Exhibition in
Baltimore, at Liberty
Loan Meeting

Our people were given great shock
on Sunday morning to learn that
Lieut.. Paul Tobey, of the U. S. Avi-
alton corps, had been seriously injured
while giving an aeroplane exhibition
at Baltimore, in the interests of the
Liberty Loan drive. His parents, Mr..
aud Mrs. S. B. Tobey, on Sunday,
received a telegram that morning say
ing that in the accident Lieut.. Tobey
had suffered compound fracture of
both legs, and scalp wound. The
dispatch also stated that another word
would be sent later as to their SON
condition. Another dispatch was re-
ceived at five o'clock, saying that the
injuries were critical but it was
thought he would recover. A third
dispatch was in answer to that sent
by Mr.. Tobey, which requested him
to come and he departed Sunday even
ing for Baltimore. Lieut.. Tobey is
stationed at Langley Field, Va.
From accounts of the accident it
seems that Lieut.. Tobey had just fin
ished flight and in landing crashed
into post. The Sergeant accompany
ing him also sustained a broken leg
and was badly bruised.
Later-A dispatch received this af-
ternoon, says that prospects of his re-
covery are very good.

SERVICE FLAG RAISING
Makes the Address of
the Occasion

Last Saturday evening was the date
set for raising the service flag for
Marathon county. This event was
made the occasion of a patriotic
meeting of note and will be counted as
one of the important ones of the war.
At 7:15 the 10th Infantry band
marched from the armory up to the
Y. M. C. A., where it headed a parade,
composed of the Girls Training corps,
Company G, and many citizens. The
march was down Third street to Scott
and to the West side. The return was
by way of Washington street to Third
and North to Scott, where the exer-
cises were held Scott street, North
of the county square had been roped
off and on the north side of the street
speakers stand had been built and
this was covered with flags and bunt-
ing.
At o'clock the service flag was
raised at the corner of Fourth and
Scott streets. The whole roped space
was electrically lighted; the Girls
Training Corps wore white costumes
and Company G, standing at attention,
thousands of citizens and the 10th
Infantry band playing the "Star
Spangled Banner" made the scene
an intensely patriotic one as we'll as
very impressive and one long to be
remembered.
The service flag showed that $3.50
boys had left for the army from Mara
thon county, and it also showed that
there were 16 gold StarS-representing
that many boys who had been killed
or died in the service of their coun-
try. The service flag occupies con-
spicuous place where it will remain
during the war.
The speaker of the occasion was
Ex-Congressman John j. Lenz of Col
umbus, Ohio, who is not stranger
in Wausau, having delivered an ad-
dress at the opera house in Wausau
two years ago.
ID. Z. Everest, spoke at some length
on the service flag, it's purport and
along patriotic lines generally, and
introduced the speaker of the occa-
sion.
EX-Congressman LEM delivered an
address which was replete with patrio-
tism holding his immense audience for
over an hour and a half and this is
saying a good deal, when it is con-
sidered that during this time all had
to remain standing, excepting those
who occupied seats in the surrounding
offices. The speaker was able to give
much information regarding the world
war as he had spent three months at
the battle fronts in Europe, visiting
the American, English, French and
Italian armies. He told of many Incl
dents of tha livac of tbo hovc in opd
out of the trenches, and what great
work the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A., K. c.,
Salvation Army and others were doing
to save lives and in making the sol
diers comfortable and happy. The
speaker was in Paris, when it was be-
ing shelled by the long distance Ger
man gun.
The meeting was a great success
and one of the important patriotic
events of the war.
