AUSTRIAN BABES
ARE EXAMINED
Mothers Flock to Welfare Station
at Band Hall for
Advice.

Austrian babes, a whole group of them
were weighed and measured Wednesday
at the h and Heald Street Welfare Station
of the Women's Child Welfare Committee, Q,
Council of Defense. The mothers when
they learned from one of the lay workers
that there was an opportunity afforded
them to lear if their babe and child under
5 years of age was growi ng as it should,
fiocked to the station.
Some of the infants of parents whose
former country is now at war with the
United States had infant ailments -
stomach disorders or some tritling i'll
that is retarding its growth. The mothers
were given advice about the children and
told to consult the family physician in
cases that appeared to be more serious
One mother took the advice at once
and went from the station to the Office of
the physician.
In addition to those with babes came
expentant mothers to the station To
them the work of the station was the most
interesting sight in the world They were
given advice by the nurse regarding the
care of the babe and appeared thoroughly
thankful for the kindness shown them
1t is just likely that after this week all
stations will be open only in the after
noon. Mothers have told the nurses
repeatedly that they cannot get out to a
station in the morning and this may result
In all stations that are open In the morning

Jews in Palestine The war has driven
the noted journalist to America where
he laughs at the price set on his head
by the Turkish government The Young
Turks and the German othcIsls both
agree that Ben Avis head would mean
more TO them in their waste basket than
on his own shoulders, because while he
remains the sole proprietor of his own
head to command his tongue and pen
Germany's Asatic designs have been an
entirely too formidable foe.
Although an easterner by birth Ben
Avis grasp of western civilization and
particularly his familiarity with the
policital situation in Europe, Is said TO be
remarkable He speaks fluent English,
as we'll as half dozen other languages,
eastern and European.
In his address on Sunday evening he
will tell the ''inside" story of German
designs in Turkey and deal at length
with the future of the Jewish state which
the allied powers have agreed to establish
in Palestine.
The extraordinary vieor and charm
OF his lectures have made him a dis
tinguished figure in America Wherever
he has spoken in halls and prominent
club in New York, Philadelphia and
Boston. his audiences are caught up IN
an uplifting enthusiasm for Palestine
and the role it will play as mediator
between east and west \ great treat
is in store for the public.

JOHN ]. SHERMAN ELECTED
HEAD OF CITIZENS BANK
New President Acted as Cashier of
Institution Since 1t Was Or
ganized in 1898.

John J. Sherman, who has been con-
nected with the Citizens National
bank since it was organized twenty
five years ago, was elected president
at the annual meeting of the board of
directors yesterday afternoon.
Joseph ]. Rossmeissl was elected
first vice president, John Hackworthy
second vice president, William j. Con-
rad, Jr., was promoted to cashier from
assistant, and E. G. Hilfert was select
ed as the assistant cashier.
Mr.. Sherman, who takes the place
of Lamar Olmstead, deceased, was
called here from Wausau at the re-
quest of S. Van Nortwick, twenty-five
years ago to attend meeting togeth-
er with John S. Van Nortwick, A. w.
Patton, John McNaughton and Lyman
E. Barnes.
The purpose was to consider the
proposition of organizing another ma
tional bank in this city. At that time
there were only two national banks
here, the First and the Commercial
National.
At that time Mr.. Sherman occupied
the position of county Judge of Mara
thon county and resided in Wausau,
and had been instrumental in organ
izing what is now known as the Amer
ican National bank of Wausau.
In June, 1893, the organization of
the Citizens National bank was per-
fected and charter was granted by
the United States government. The
bank, however, did not open for bus
mess then on account of the panic
of 1898 and on account of prepara-
tions of the banking house and the in
stallation of first class equipment. The
bank was opened for business Janu-
ary Is, 1894. Mr.. Sherman remained
cashier of the bank until his election
to the presidency yesterday-Apple-
ton Crescent.

ONE WAY TO RUN AUTOMO-
BILES IN THE WINTER
Three Ford Cars Set Up and Run to
Merrill i'm Snow Two Feet Deep

Last Wednesday 7. H. Jacob, who
is at the head of the Marathon
Motor Car Company of this city,
found that making deliveries was an
up hill business with snow two feet
deep and freight cars as scarce as
hens teeth, so he resorted to a
scheme which he put into practice
last winter, that of setting up his
cars and forwarding them by bob
sled. He rigged three Ford cars and
loaded them onto sleigh last Wednes-
day and started them out for his
branch house at Merrill, telephoning
ahead to his agent that 81 have started
out three Ford cars for Merrill, be on
the lookout for them" His agent,
considerably excited replied: "You
can't do it, car cannot get through
this deep snow" But the cars ar
rived in Merrill safely without turn
ing a wheel. Mr.. Jacob is making
his deliveries to farmers, who take
them out on their sleighs, store them
and have them ready for spring use.
This is what we call enterprise.

OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
WAUSAU PILOT TEIIRTY-T THREE YEARS AGO

The choruses were shouted impair
TALLY by all the rest. Meanwhile the
Germanias in the rear coach chanted
their Teutonic war songs.
NOTES, BOILED DOWN
Arrived at Mauston at II p. m.
Marched to armory and stored equip
ment.
Marched TO the grounds next morn
ing by Lieut.. Parker; pitched tents and
had breakfast, arranged by commits
sary, Jack Ferguson and Henry Jones.
With battalion drills, dress parade,
guard mount, all in the broiling sun
there was little occasion for hilarity
and the boys showed no disposition to
run the guard.
Dan Bear, who had kindly volun-
teered to act as chaplain, and who had
in view extensive missionary work
amongst the other companies, became
discouraged and returned TO Wausau.
1t rained Wednesday and the
grounds were soon in pools and we
! were flooded out and pulled off our
shoes and raced around in bare feet.
Very hot this Thursday morning;
we were made happy today by the
presence of Mrs. Capt. Womer, Mrs.
Holway and Mrs. Goodrich
On Friday, Governors day, the G. A.
R. paid their respects to Jerry"
Amongst the veterans of real camp
and field life none are more conspic-
uous than o. w. Dickinson, of Wausau.
The boys have conferred upon the
title of colonel"
Co G. made a. great showing when
received by the governor and it re-
ceived great applause. 1t is the crack
company of the state.
Mauston-or Moss town is the dead
est town in the state and the boys
found as much opportunity for good
time there as a cemetery would fur
nish.
The color guard-Corps. Davis, De
Voc, Holman and Lewis, under Capt
Sandry, was complimented highly by
Col. Moore. The Wausau Light Guards
being the Color Co., occupied the cen
ter of the battalion and showed off to
great advantage.
Everybody knows that Capt. Womer
is the best captain in the regiment,
and Lieut.. D. j. Murray does not pre-
tend to be tactician, but he looks
out for the comfort of the boys and
isn't afraid to go down into his pocket
to provide treat for them occasional
ly.
The command of the Germania
Guard at Camp Stewart, devolved up
on Lieut.. VIM Kickbusch and he ac-
quilted himself admirably.

WORD FROM RAYMOND J. REISER

The following was received from
Raymond J. Reiser, who is yeoman
on the U. S. S. Kanawha, the past
week:
Nothing out of the ordinary has
happened since my visit in Wausau,
but l am sending a poem that was
dedicated to the memory of young
chap by the name of Hadlock, who
was serving as an electrician on board
the U. S. Destroyer "Allen" and was
written to the men of the "Allen."
became acquainted with this fellow
last summer while in New York.
This chap was taken sick while the
"Allen" was in our own waters and
was transferred to the naval hospital
in an Atlantic port, where he died,
hence the poem.
l am expecting tha ship that I am
on, to sail some time the coming week
for somewhere in Europe" the exact
destination l am not allowed to men
ton.
| Bringing this letter to a close and
bidding all of my Wausau friends fare
well, leg to remain,
Yours truly,
RAYMOND J. REISER.
| Following is the poem:

When the swift DESTROYER Allen once again

There was one who sailed not with her,-one
who planned and meant to be.
For he's lying by the river in that last Ions
quiet rest,
In his uniform enshrouded with the ias
across his breast.
Not in battle smoke and horror, not born,
down by Seething tide,
Quiet. anchored in home waters. at his daily
Hurled to death in peaceful harbor, not tn,
less he gave we know.
Than to die in blood and fire, over There
before the foe,
But. you men. who man the Allen, you witt
now are on the sea,
Will you pause and read my message, AM
perhaps give heed to mef
For I'm Hadlock's only sister, loved the bo,
with all my heart
Love the cause he gave his life for. Would Co
l could do his part
So I'd ask when you shall meet them,-raven
