his parents he is survived by one sis
ter, Miss Leona of this city. This Is
the eleventh death of MantoWo6
county men in the country's service
Urban was a fine, clean minded young
American, whose early taking off is
by one of those insscrutible DEGREES
that perplex us for the reasons.
When two veterans of the same reg
iment that followed Sherman through
Georgia, or struggled through the
whole of it in the East from 6l to
AppomatoX meet at a reunion they &c
over together the times when there
was some right smart" fighting al
this or that sunken road stone wall or
wheat field. Well, it's started again to
outlast another half century. Sergeant
Gas, who came direct from the battle
fields to act as instructor at camps,
arriving at home last week, met Ser
geant William Masters of Milwaukee
at the railway station Monday. The
two we're both at Chateau Thierry
eight or nine weeks ago and they went
over together some of their expert
ences when with officers of the two
companies wounded and out OF ac-
ton, the sergeants had command OF
the remnant of troops left and town
for three days until reinforcements
reached them. Only eighteen men OF
Sergeant Masters company responded
to roll call and only twenty-five OF
Oas' command were on duty. The
American contingent to which the two
companies WIS attached, originally
900, had dwindled to 1868 men when
the town was taken and held.
AIDert Wittey OF TINS city, drIy;ng a
motor lorry in the dark back from the
trenches to his base picked up weary
soldier and the two went through a
Commandment together. At the end OF
the trip he learned that his assengel
was Normal Berhedal, who lives a
couple of squares away from Wittey's
home here in Manitowoc. They had not
met since the last time here at home.

OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR WAR


The schools are suffering temporar-
lily because of the war This was in
evitable. Many of the best people in
the educational world from the Uni
versity to the country school are leav-
ing teaching, at least for the time be-
ing, and taking up war work or in
dustrial work. Their places are being
filled by others who are sometimes
better, sometimes poorer, but, gener-
ally speaking, less efficient. There is
increased need Of supervision as re-
suit, and supervision has always been
too meager if not inherently inefh-
cient
School superintendents and princi-
pals should redOuble their energies in
looking after the supervising part Of
their functions. The schools have
made an enviable reputation for 10y
atty and helpfulness This they will
continue with unabated zeal and en-
ergy.
AS | have before stated repeatedly,
there is no place in any school, public
or private, in Wisconsin, for teacher
who is disloyal at heart Disloyalty in
teachers would poison the stream at
its source All who feel within them
selves any disloyalty to the nation in
this hour should feel it incumbent
upon themselves to resign and leave
the task Of training the young to those
who love our country and are ready to
stand with it, or fall with it if need be,
We are issuing as a supplement to
the News Bulletin at this time sug-
gestions for program of studies for
September We trust that all schools
will use it so far as they are able. II
is our present plan to issue such a
program monthly and we should be
pleased to have any suggestions that
teachers or others may offer.
Let me commend to all teachers an
interest in Junior Red Cross Work
Can we not have a 100 per cent state
in Junior Red Gross? 1t can be done
AT present only about one-third Of our
schools have organized under the Red
Cross. 1t is necessary for schools in
order to secure membership, to secure
the equivalent of twenty-five cents
apiece for all children enrolled. This
need not be personal contribution
from each one, but it must be secured
in some way. One Of the best ways is
to provide, if possible, means by which
children can earn the money for mem
bership. Let us have a splendid year
of enthusiastic instruction in all that
goes to make the highest type OF
American citizenship The best wishes
of the department are with you.

Fatal AceideDt.-On Monday last a
German named Meister was kicked in
the stomach by a horse belonging to
Mr.. Carl Frickie, from the effects OF
which he died on Monday. This is one
of the saddest casualties which we
have recorded for some time. as the
deceased leaves family in rather
stringent circumstances. We are sure
that substantial sympathy will be Of
fered to the bereayed relatives and
friends.
Mr. S. A. Wood is extending his store
building the whole length of his lot to
accommodate our old friend Mr.
Kramer, who intends returning to
Manitowoc and engaging in the mer-
camille business. We are glad to well
come him back.
The new Catholic church, being
built in the town of Maple Grove is
fast nearing completion. Although we
have not seen it, we hear it is a good
looking structure, and a credit to the
people in that locality.
The work of building docks along
the river is progressing Before win
ter we will have a line of good sub
stantal docks from the harbor piers
to the bridge on Eighth street.
Rev. Mr.. A. c. Huntley preached his
farewell sermon at the Methodist
church on last Sunday evening.
That brave veteran of the Four
teenth, Sam Stone, is building a side
walak on York street, and Hersch
Smalley is also giving the village the
benefit of his liberality by doing the
same thing in front of his premises.
We think the village authorities
should be thankful for having such
men who do their duty for them free
gratis.
Mr.. Jacob Halverson has been i'm
proving the appearance of his resi-
dence, and has made some material
additions, to the same. Jake" is one
of our most enterprising citizens, and
his house and grounds show evidence
of it.

TO FIGHT FIRE
 IN BUTTE MINES

BUTTE, Mont, July 6.-The Tram way mine of the Anaconda Copper Mining company, one of the chief pro ducers of that company, lost two days during the week because of engine trouble This property is producing 700 tons of ore daily, as compared with about twice that tonnage two years ago. this curtailment resulting from the inroads made upon the ore bodies by the fires in the depths of the Tram way and the Leonard mines.
 Up to the present time about the only means of combating the spread of the fires was bulkheading, that is, con- creting off the burning zone and grad ually narrowing the area until the fires had reached a stage of exhaus- tion, this method entailing a sacrifice of considerable stOping area. Prepar- ations have been under way for num- Der of months looking to fighting this fire evil by turning stream of sand into the smouldering mass of ore. The sand, which is mixed with water, serves to clog the fire channels and is calculated ultimately to smother the fires. The opinion is expressed by the engineers of the AnacOnda company that this method offers the first real hope of successfully combating the fire problem. In the event that the sand system proves successful, the Anaconda ultimately will be. able to reclaim large area of ore ground, as the fires are burning in half a dozen mines.
 Piping systems are being laid and within SO days it is hoped to have streams of sand-laden water pouring upon the fires in the Tramway and Leonard mines. This sand will be pumped from the slum pond of the Butte. & Superior, which lies but 9 short distance from these two proper ties.

 habitable dwellings covered the inter- vening blocks.
 From the official report of s. T. Cur tis, superintendent of the Orphir Min ing Company:
 On the day after the fire, competent men were dispatched to the lumber yards at Corson and Dutch Flat, Cal, to procure and ship timbers; machin- cry was telegraphed for; the new dou- ble-reel hoisting-engine and cables just completed for the combination shaft of the Chollar-Potosi, Hale and Nor cross, and Savage were secured; and, through the heaviest storms which Vir- ginia had seen for years, the old en- zine foundations were torn out and new ones to suit the combination en- zine were constructed; work was pro secuted without cessation; supplies were hauled a considerable distance, on account of the destruction of the railroad tunnel and bridges; the works were rebuilt and work through the shaft was resumed on Nov. 25, being inside of 30 days from time of destruc- tion. While the reconstruction was going on, a donkey engine, furnished through the kindness of the Phil. Sher- idan Mining Co.,, was put in place, with which we were enabled to retimber the shaft where it had been burned to a depth of 400 it. from the surface, be- sides hoisting considerable water en- tering on the 700-ft. level of the mine. The buildings rebuilt have been made much larger and more complete and more convenient than formerly.
 In 50 days the hoisting works of the Con. Virginia Mining Go. were recon structed and ore was raised at the rate of 500 tons daily from the shaft.
 In the early days of the Comstock, there was a breed of men who could accomplish things on a large scale when the demand was critical In our day we are finding out that the same spirit is alive and with us. Great emergencies develop men. The pres ent day feats of labor are only the be- ginning of a period of effort and ac- eomplishment that will go down in his tory as the vindicatiOn of the Ameri- can will to do well the task that the war has brought to us.

GRADING MACHINE
 ORDERED FOR VERDE

JEROME, July 6.-Sometime next week a Marion steam shovel and twelve dump cars will rattle through the streets of Jerome and on to the 300-foOt level. where Contractor Will jam B. Arndt will immediately there after start grading for the switchback railroad that is to be run up to the United Verde mine.
 Arndt placed his order about ten days ago and the shovel has already been shipped from Marion, Ohio. Show el and cars, laid down in Clarkdale, will cost Arndt about S12,500 He fig ures, however, that they will well be worth the money for they will enable him to finish his grading contract in much less time than if he depended on hand labor.
 The shovel has a capacity of from 500 to 1000 yards in eight hours, de pending Cn the character of material to be moved Arndt expects to get better than 500 yards cut cf the ma chine althOugh most of his work will loo in solid rock.
 Steam shOyeling is a new departure for Arndt but he sees ail kinds of work ahead fer his Marion right here in the Verde district. In fact. he has several other rush contracts in view right now and may place an Crdcr at ence for a second shovel

Arizona Making More Copper
 Than Total Exported by Nation

ond factor is the displacement of cop per in cargoes to make room for the men and camp supplies which have been going forward under far greater acceleration during the present year.
 The fact that copper is now availa- ble only for war contracts, and with exception of comparatively small or ders that have been permitted filled for motor builders and others on pri- vate contracts has been available for war contracts Olly during all the year tells of fine team work the workers in copper and brass in the east are doing in playing up with the increased metal production from Arizona and other copper producing divisions which have made gains. That both the copper miners and consumers have been able to rise to war emergencies with all of the increase in output fer war needs of which there has been requirement. repTesentes a higher testimonial to their loyalty. effective organization and ability to do things than is enjoy ed by any other industry, although a part of the entire piece of prepared ness on the side of producers which which alone has enabled the nation to put men and supplies across to Europe with effectiveness, and upon the con tinuance of which her million sons now in Europe are wholly dependent for their lives.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-07-07

Arizona smelters are shipping each month more than the total of exports of copper from the United States They are not far from producing as much as represented in the average exports in the first five months of 1917, which reached 93,39S,000 pounds the month.
 Current government figures on ex- ports of copper in May account for 57,7SO,0O0 pounds, an increase of 13,- 324,OO0 over April exports. Arizona's May output of copper therefore eX- ceeded the total exports for the month by about 20,0O0,000 pounds. And the pride of Arizona's copper miners in their war work performances promises to have still increased justification the present month of June, the output for which in red metal is indicated to be likely to exceed the record figures Of May
 Decrease in copper exports this year from a total of 467.172,00O pounds in the first five months of 1918. is indi- cated by eastern advices to be due to two, causes. The first is represented in increased production within the United States of finished war materi- als in which copper plays large part, these taking the place of finished pro- ducts which were being made by the Allies in Europe last year from the raw copper shipped to them. The sec
