WILL KEEP ALsAcE GORGAs FIXES BLAME
KAiSER'S CHANCELLOR REPLIES
TO WILSON'S PROPOSALS.
Demands New Statement of War
Aims-Says Presidents Terms Are
Not Satisfactory.

Berlin. Jan. 2S.-Chancellor Won
Hertling, in his address before the
main committee of the reichstag
Thursday, said there was no difference
between Germany and President Will
son regarding the freedom of the seas.
Thorough freedom of navigation IN
time of war, as well as in peace, was
one of Germany's main demands. 1t
was eminently important for future
free navigation that England should be
made to relinquish her strongly fortl-
fled points of support on international
sailing routes, such as Gibraltar, Alden,
Hongkong and the Falkland islands.
"Concretely, the outlines are unsat-
isfactory," the German chancellor in
sisted.
He demanded that "enemy leaders
set forth new proposals"
"There are no differences between
us and President Wilson as to freedom
of the SEAS" the German chancellor
asserted.
However, we cannot talk OF the
cessation of Alsace-Lorrain, 81 per
cent of the population of which speaks
German"

WAR DARE Devils

News Of United States Declaration Of
War on Germany Signal for Bound
Over the Top.

1t was night in the trenches Of
France, and the Canadian contingent
lay watchful for the foe, on duty at
the listening posts. and night patrols
crept stealthily about In No Mans
Land. Their bayonets were rubbed
with lamp black so that the sudden
bursting of star bomb would not be-
tray their presence.
In this particular Canadian section.
writes Henry James Buxton. were one
hundred or more stalwarts from the
United Statesmen who went over the
international boundary into Canada
so they could enlist. These Americans
were together in one section of the
trench.
One of these was Private "Scotty"
anderson. farmer, telegraph operator,
who had tapped the key from Boston
to Frisco.
Scotty was long, lean and lank,
with arms like bean poles. But his
muscles were steel, and his courage
without blemish. Said ScOtty to his
pal, Jack Murdoch:
This is too slow for me; why can't
we go over the top once in a while,
and take slam at the Boches?"
"Time apparently amt ripe" replied
Murdoch.
ripe" Snorted Scotty Disguised
ly; wed soon make the Boches ripe
If we got at 'em with our bayonets."
Just then a sergeant hurried into
the trench from a communicating pas
sage.
Boys" he cried excitedly. "the
United States has declared war with
Germany"
Scotty was on his feet with a
whOOp. He grabbed the sergeant and
said: "Say that again" The ser
geant repeated the message.
ScOtty grabbed an American nag
with one hand and seized his gun with
he other.
Come on. Yanks," he yelled, "over
he top for us; we've got to celebrate
.hiS!'
With a whoop 100 Americans fol-
owed ScOtty over the top. The ser
yeant yelled something about orders.
but he was brushed aside.
Yelling, the Americans rushed over
No Mans Land, and leaped into the
German first line trench. The on
'laught was so sudden that the Ger
mans were taken by surprise. A score
or more were shot down before they
we're aware what had happened, and
nearly a score more surrendered. The
Americans returned to their own
french with their prisoners and they
we're greeted as heroes by their Cana
1ian comrades.

The MedicO Laurentian museum Of
Florence, Italy, has In its possession
what is said to be the most valuable
book in the world This book is called
the "COdex Amiatinus" and is pro-
nOunced by some scholars to be per-
haps the oldest and by all odds the
best ancient Latin manuscript of the
Bible. The work is believed to have
been copied from the translation by st.
Jerome, which he made direct from
early Greek and Hebrew scripts. It's
origin is placed in the ninth century,
and is thought to have been the handi-
work of English priests.

SURGEON GENERAL LAYS CAMP
ILLS TO THE WAR OFFICE.
Lack OF Proper Sewage Facilities and
Overcrowding Are Responsible
for Epidemics.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Lack of proper
sewage facilities and overcrowding are
responsible for epidemics which have
left their mark on training camps, Sur
geon General Gorgas told the senate
military committee.
Forging ahead with his drive against
war department efficiency" Senator
Chamberlain summoned General Cor
gas to comb the health conditions of
National Guard and RAINY camps.
( General Gorgas told the committee
that practically none" of the National
Guard camps have sewage facilities.
His earnest recommendation that fully
equipped hospitals and sanitary ar
engagements be provided before men
were sent to the camps was disregard
ed by the war department, he said.
Forty per cent of the pneumonia
cases in camps followed measles, and
measles epidemics resulted directly
from overcrowding, he added.
GOrgas admitted that Orderlies in
camp hospitals are as unframed in the
care of the sick as country boys" He
also acknowledged that some sick men
get practically no care from trained
woman nurses.
There are four of these unframed
orderlies to every trained nurse, Gen
eral Gorgas said. 1t will be a year be-
fore these unframed orderlies are COM
petent nurses, he ADDED.
'We have $4,000 men in the medical
corps. We ought to have 100000,
GOrgas testified. He admitted there is
a shortage in the enlisted personnel of
the medical corps with Pershing's
forces

was the result of five months discus
sion of the question between the war
and navy departments. Even now, he
told the committee. no decision has
been reached, though one is imminent
After it comes, he added, it would take
at least three months to make over
existing vessels to the requirements.

TO CHANGE BANKING LAWS
Gov. Philip Amends Call to Allow
Legislators to Take Action on
Statute at Special Session.

Madison-Gov. Phillip amended his
call for the special session so as to
permit changes in the banking laws
of Wisconsin. The change proposed
will allow state banks to put up their
assets to obtain funds from the federal
government
State banks have been limited in
their operation to obtain government
funds by a provision in the banking
law. This has been true, not only OF
Wisconsin but also Of Michigan. I'm
&c? the call as changed, the special
session of the Legislature on Feb. 10
will be allowed to consider banking
legislation along this line. This will
be of the greatest aid to state bankers
buying heavily of Liberty bonds and

state less stringent.

The danger in half doing ones work
with the idea of going over it again
and putting on the finishing touches is
that such a method tends to develop
the habit of carelessness, the result be-
Ing that the work is never satisfactor-
;ly finished. On the other hand, the
construction of a perfect foundation

INSPECTION PLACE CHANGED
Asked to Send Samples to State
Agricultural Department.

Madison - Attention of Wisconsin
farmers and seed dealers is called to
the fact that the enforcement of the
state seed inspection law has been
transferred from the Experiment sta
ton, to the Wisconsin Department of
Agriculture, at the Capitol. The seed
inspection laboratory will remain at
the Agricultural college, and all sam
pies should be addressed to the State
Seed Inspector, Agronomy building,
Madison.
A fee of twenty-five cents for each
sample should accompany the seed. if
complete test is desired. If purity or
termination tests separately are re-
quired, the fee is fifteen cents for
each. Send money in the form of
check, postoffice money order or coin.
Make all checks and money orders
payable to the Wisconsin Department
of Agriculture, but mail them to the
Agronomy building.
The last two years have been I'M
favorable for the production OF some
kinds of seed, so that there is scare
ity and prices will be high. Be sure
to see that all seed purchased or sold
is labeled to conform with the re-
quirements of the seed inspection law.
This requires that every package of
agricultural seed exceeding one pound
in weight must be labeled, with the
percentage of purity and termination
when sold or offered for sale on the
Wisconsin market. If the seed is corn,
alfalfa or small grain, the label must
also tell where the seed IS grown.
Because of war conditions, the larg-
est possible crops must be raised this
coming summer Maximum crops can
not be raised unless he seed sown is
of good quality. Be sure that the seed
used is clean, vital seed, which will
produce a good crop.
The seed laboratory is equipped to
give as rapid service as it is possible
for accurate results, but each sample
requires a certain amount of time for
the testing, and the larger the num-
Der of samples which can be sent in
early, to avoid the rush which comes
later, the better it will be for all con-
cerned. e.
