More and more Baraboo people go
ing to Washington to work and the
housing of folks in the capital is get
ting to be serious problem. An
Eastern paper says:
Householders are asked to provide
5000 additional rooms for taking care
Of war workers. The boarding hous-
es are packed and the appeal is to
private homes. What the need must
be appears in the estimate that there
are 10000 government employees in
the capital, not counting men in uni
form, 20 per cent of them being wo-
men. Dormitories that are being
built on the union station plaza to &C
commodate $500 will not be ready I'M
til late in November More dormitor-
les in other localities are being
planned, and there will be need for
them. The civil service commission
estimates that 10000 more govern
ment workers will come to Washing
ton in the next four months.

vISI.S SENATE
IN WASHINGTON

Christian G.. Lee has returned from
washington, where he was visitor
for several days He says the city is
very much crowded, thousands of peo-
pie having no place Of abode. Living
quarters are being made rapidly, but
NOT fast enough to accommodate the
increasing workers and visitors. He
says prices of food are high and that
eatables are scarce. It is almost i'm
possible to obtain bread meat is also
scarce. He came back with the feel
ing Baraboo is in the midst of plenty
He says that on account of his brief
stay he was not able to see E. L.
Luckow, auditor of the navy depart
ment He regrets this very much.
While there he had the pleasure of
visiting the United States senate, and
was there when Ambassador Jusse-
rand of France presented to the SEN
ate two beautiful vases on behalf of
the foreign government.
Ambassador Jusserand said the free
nations are in the war until the last
gun is fired" so as "to make good for
the world the American Declaration
of Independence" Mr.. Marshall said
America is determined to fight on not
emily to avenge the wrongs done to
France and other nations, but until
Bethlehem shall prevail over Ber-
AIM"
Ambassador Jusserand told the SEN
ate that in planning the war the Ger
mans forgot one imponderable item
sentiment, the force behind the guns
that will win the day for justice and
liberty. They also, the ambassador
said, had concluded that when they
struck, Belgium would be found be-
numbed with fright, France in decay
England in Indifference and America
6n business.
1.-THE answer" said Mr.. Jusserand
was Leige, Marine, Ypres and ST. Mi
kiel"
Vice-President Marshall, in reply
ing to the ambassador, said the
ghosts of innocent women, helpless
children and feeble age are calling
Ito God, to America and to civiliZa-
tion," and that their call shall not be
IN vain"

CHAS. WILD SELLS
GAINESVILLE HOTEL

For many years Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Wild and daughter, Mrs. Rob
ert Daley, were residents of Baraboo.
The following is from the GAINESVILLE
Gazette:
William C. Kelley, former owner
of the New Southern hotel at 18th
and Michigan avenue, Chicago, has
purchased the Myers hotel from
Charles Wild, and has already taken
possession. Mr.. Kelley has had long
experienc in the hotel business and
has always met with success.
AS a young man he started as clerk
in the Leland hotel in Chicago, Later
he was manager and then owner Of
the old Julian hotel in Dubuque. From
there he went to Sioux Falls, where
he was proprietor Of the Cataract.
Leaving Sioux Falls, Mr.. Kelley re-
turned to Chicago, where he pur-
chased and personally managed the
New Southern hotel, one of the lead
ing family hotels of Chicago.
A number of business men met Mr..
Kelley at a luncheon served at noon
today in the hotel ordinary, and well
coined him to the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelley arrived in the
city yesterday and will make their
home at the Myers hotel. Their only
son, Captain w. c. Kelley, Jr., who is
twenty-four years Of age. is a captain
in the artillery and is instructor of
artillery at FIT. Sill, Okla. He is in
command Of the 14th field artillery.
Mr. Wild, who has owned the hotel
for many years and Has made host
Of friends while in this city, will re-
main in the city for several weeks, aft
er which he will go to Florida with
his family for the winter. During Mr..
Wnd's ownership at the Myers it has
/ become one of Janesville's leading no.
laid at the hotel. Mr. Wild this morn
ing stated that the banquets which
have always been successful were due
to the earnest efforts of Mrs. Wild,
who has always been active in the
preparation of the banquets
Robert Daley, who has managed
the hotel for several years, will also
leave in few days. Mr.. Daley has
made a name for himself in the city
of GAINESVILLE, and his departure will
be keenly felt by his many friends. He
will take a vacation for a few days
and will enter the service of the Unit
ed States in the very near future.
In the departure Of Mr.. an6 Mrs.
Wild and Mr.. and Mrs. Daley, James
vile loses several of it's most ardent
boosters. During their stay in this
city, Mr.. Wild and Mr.. DALEY have
always taken keen interest in civic
affairs and have always been ready TO
do all in their power to boost James

Spanish, Italian, Greek, Chinese and
japanese languages. A negro also
spoke. The French speaker was de-
tanned by military duties. All the
speakers were American citizens, and
all pledged the unqualified loyalty and
unremitting services Of those they
represent.
The main address was by Federal
Court Judge Bledsoe. 1t was a real
speech The keynote of the whole
meeting was: All creeds, all races
all must and will lay aside all griev-
ances-there being but one single
main purpose now-the complete and
final defeat of Germany.
The spirit manifested is the same
which animates the whole country.
It strengthens our assurance of COM
plete victory 1t is a mistake to as
sumo that our united determination
and the recent allied victories sig
Nifty an early peace. Germany has
been feeding her people on early peace
dope; it is foolish for us to feed our
selves oE the same false hopes. The
enormous increase in preparations,
the registering Of the 100000 are
evidence that with America the war
is only well begun. Better to realize
that now than to be disappointed and
discouraged later.
Sincerely yours,
w. H. McFETRIDGE.

BUILD NEW LINE
TO REEDSBURG

Workmen and material are arriving
in Baraboo for the new line to be built
from this city to Reedsburg by the
Wisconsin Power, Light & Heat COM
pany The line will be built through
North Freedom and Ableman so those
villages will enjoy the advantages of
the twentieth century necessity. North
Freedom has had light light for some
time, but this will be absorbed in time
by the larger company. Reedsburg
has made contract to take power
and light, thus conserving fuel. The
line will be pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible.

WAR ACTIVITIES
At SAN DIEGO
Former Baraboo Resident Tells
How Great Work Is Carried on
at San deg o. mo Peace Soon

/ read with great interest the local
news and especially the letters in your
paepr.
What I can write would hardly be
worth publishing except that it may
encourage your readers to know that
away down here in this corner of the
country everything indicates the tire
mendous way Uncle Sam is going on
with the war.
The main camp (Kearney) has re-
Gently been increased from 10000 to
$4,000 capacity.
Since the fortieth division left sew
eral weeks ago the camp has been rap
idly filling with new recruits. Several
regiments recently came from Hawaii
The tropical climate does not seem
In fact they show an intensive desire
TO get to the front.
Camp Kearney is to be one Of the
largest artillery camps in the United
States, probably due in part to the
availability of extensive contiguous
tracts OIL inexpensive GdllUS.
The aviation camp at North Island
is constantly being increased by per-
manent additions.
The marine camp at the exposition
grounds, where the splendid build
ings have served so Immediately and
well, is turning out fighting sailors
constantly.
Another school and marine base is
being constructed on the tide lands
at the north end of the bay. This
will be permanent.
Important developments are being
made at FIT. Rosencrans. The public
is excluded, and also from the entire
southern end of Point Iona. Four
teen-inch guns have replaced the
eight inch.
A large area south of the silver
strand, leading south from Coronado,
is used for aviation gun practice.
Squadron flying and stunts are prac-
ticed daily. Even the amazing nose
dives" and flying upsides down are
ceasing to attract more than casual
interest. There have been remark
ably few accidents.
Not long ago a large aviation school
was established near Riverside, in a
, great level bare valley. 1t has been
supplied in part by an airplane serv-
ice from San Diego.
When | saw the Lucky Baldwin
racing grounds the last of May they
were a waste of acres of deserted
stables and buildings.
Not many weeks after the whole
place was swarming with army men
and workmen rehabilitating the build
ings and making the whole place over
into great signal corps camp. 1t is
at Arcadia, near Pasadena.

istration meeting at the Organ pa
