culture IL not sufficient TO cover in

The farms have been stripped by the
draft. mainly through the incompe-
tency of draft boards whose members
were ignorant of farm conditions. and
the convention calls on the government
to enforce the provisions of the selec-
tive draft to protect further depletion
Of farm labor.
The convention declares that the
present draft rules place an onus on
requested exemption and appoints a
committee to work for change In the
draft law to make exemptions effective
automatically where required.

GERMANS DUE FOR SHOCK
OVER FAILURE OF ARMIES

Washin gton. Aug. 29.--The Ger
man people are in for terrible
awakening because of the faith
they have placed for years in their
military proves. The National
zeitung says regarding the capture
of Roye:
The belief in Hindenburg and
Ludendorf has been inspiring Ger
man policy for many years. 1t was
the real secret of its strength. NO
reasonable person would deny that
they are remarkable chiefs, but
they might make mistakes, they
might be beaten, and they have
been, too. That, however, rep
resents complete confusion in the
mentality of the German peoples.
We are only in the beginning OF
this terrible awakening"

DEATH OF MRS. HILL

Mrs. Clara Hill, wife of Stanley S.
Hill, of this city, passed away yester-
day morning at st. Mary's hospital
in Wausau, after long and linger-
ing illness from pneumonia. Mrs. Hill
was taken i'll with influenza in the
early part of October, in fact was one
of the first victims of that dread dis
ease here. Pneumonia developed, fol-
loing a relapse, and from that time on
her condition gradually grew worse.
About three weeks ago she underwent
an operation for the removal of pus
from the lungs. A week or so ago
another operation was necessary, and
from these ordeals her weakening con-
dition did not rally.
Mrs. Clara Asimont Hill was born
at Green Bay, February 1st, 1885, and
was therefore 33 years and ten months
of age. She was married to Stanley S.
Hill August 4, 1909, and to this union
four children were born. Besides the
bereaved husband and children, de-
ceased is survived by her mother
Mrs. Geo. Asimont, of Green Bay, three
sisters and one brother The family
came to Mosinee last August and dur
ing her short residence here the de-
ceased had won a large circle of
friends and acquaintances.
The remains will be brought to this
city tomorrow forenoon and the funer-
al will be held in the afternoon from
the M. E. church. Unless the health
restrictions are removed before that
time, the arrangements are for a pri-
vate funeral.-Mosinee Times.

WAR HISTORY

For the purpose of aiding and stim-
ulating county war history work the
state history commission, created by
the state council of defense, is urging
all counties to collect war history rec
ords and material now while the col
lecting is good" In the interests of
this work, Albert o. Barton, director
of the war history commission, was
in Wausau last week comforting with
local members of the Marathon Coun-
ty committee. Each county, under the
general plan suggested by the commits
sion, is advised to get files of all coun-
ty newspapers from the beginning of
the war; to make up a roster of all
it's soldiers enlisted and inducted, with
branch Of service, regiment, etc.; to
obtain as many soldiers pictures and
letters Tor copies of letters as possi-
BILE; to obtain records on all drives,
Red Cross and civilian activities, the
council of defense, draft boards, ETC.,
and in short, to collect and preserve
anything that will later be interest
ing and instructive relative to Mara
thon county's part in the war. These
collections are expected to be filed in
court houses or libraries and be avail
able for later reference and use by
students of history. Some counties
are preparing to create war museums.
All citizens are urged to cooperate
in this work and can leave their con-
tributions at school houses, libraries,
newspaper offices and the court house
offices. All organizations, women's
boards, schools, churches, unions, fra
ternals, etc., should have their secre-
taries write up full accounts of their
work, with names Of all officers, COM
mittees and members where possible.
Records Of children'S work should be
gathered in the schools and are often
prepared by the children themselves.
The cooperation of all citizens in this
patriotic and important work is urged
that Marathon county's collection may
be a notable one and one to be appre-
ciated more and more in time to come.
The local members of the county his
tory comittee are e. B. Thayer, chair
man; Judge A. H. Reid, Supt, S. B.
Tobey, H. E. Marquardt, secretary of
the council of defense; Miss Cora Ian
sing, librarian, and L. H. Cook coun-
ty clerk. Representatives have also
been appointed in the various town
ships.
Mr.. Barton says that now is the time
to gather history; that it is very i'm
portant to every county that no scrap
of history shall escape. If this is not
looked after now, after few years
it can not be had at any price; it
will be gone forever. He feels that
every county should have complete
history of reference of the war.

FLORISTS MAY PURN COAL.

w. N. Fitzgerald, State Fuel Admin

We are advised by the United States
Fuel Administrator as follows:
Until further notice State Fuel Ad-
may permit florists to re-
ceive and burn bituminous coal, steam
anthracite, or coke breeze without
having such fuel apply on their fifty
per cent. quota, as defined by Fuel
Administration curtailment order of
April "a, 1918, whenever there is a
surplus of such fuel which in the
opinion of the State Administration
can be spared for such purposes"
By reason of this authority and in
view of the fact that we are so we'll

GRIT DEFEATS TUBERCULOSIS.

When, at intervals of three weeks
or a month, | visited Richard Roe as
he lay on his cot at the tuberculosis
sanatOrium, | did not have the ghost
of an idea that he would ever get well.
Frequently indeed, it appeared un-
likely that he would survive another
week. That was fifteen wears ago.
Today he is very much alive. What
is more, he has by his own efforts
established himself in a business in
which he has had greater success than
is common among business men. He
has done this in spite of the handi-
cap of his disease. Perhaps his handi-
cap has helped because he has fol-
lowed rather than fought the currents
in his life.
Richard Roe took more than an or
dinary allotment and assortment of
common sense into the Sanatorium.
The sanatorium increased the quantity
and quality. He used his eyes, his
ears, and his mind. He studied the
game-analyzing the reasons why GER
tain patients made favorable progress
and why others failed. He built up a
philosophy and he planned out the
course he would pursue when he was
to be on his feet again.

ARMIsTICE STOPPED RAID
Rerlin Would Have Experienced That
Which Was Visited By Ger
mans on London
New York snecial Saws

A New York special says:
Berlin was to have been bombed
bv a SQUADRON of eight or twelve su-
Dnr-Handley-Page and DeHaviland-19
airplanes on the night of Nov. II, the
date of the signing of the armistice,
according to a number of aviators who
returned on Wednesday on the trans
port Lapland.
Forty fliers of the new and powerful
aircraft had been preparing for weeks
at Ford Junction, Su ssex, on the Eng
Iish channel, to attack the German
capital by means of the machines,
which had never been used at the
front, but had been put to the sc
yerest tests. Eighteen of the aviators
came home on Wednesday and the re-
mainder are still in England. All of
them had been trained in this coun-
try for the particular purpose of at
lacking interior German cities.
According to their story, all plans
had been made for dropping tons of
+rinitrotoluol on Berlin. The distance
from Ford Junction to the German
capital is about 500 miles. Each SUI
Der-Handley-Page machine had 176
feet of wing spread and carried, be-
sides + machine guns and ton of
explosive, a crew of five men, two pi-
lots. a machine navigating officer and
two mechanicians, who also were ma
chine gunners.
The DeHavilands were the latest de-
sign of that type of aircraft, but small
Ter than the Handley-Page. They
could carry 1,4OO pounds of explosives
and three men, pilot, bomber and
machine gunner. These machines, it
was stated, being faster, were to pre-
cede the heavier craft on their mis-
sion of destruction, alongside of which
the bombing of Cologne, Karlsruhe
and other Rhine cities, it was de-
clared, would have been mere Incl
dents of the war.
