The other night column afte>
column of Americans were walking
toward the trenches through ;
town about two miles back of til,

military policeman watching tht

ers were not feeling especially
cheerful that night because it wa.
raining. But suddenly from the
middle OF passing company a
husky voice was heard to shout
Hey, there, military police
Why don't you join the army and
fight for your country"
That military policeman was mad
all over.
His Lament.
Next morning, about an hour be-
fore daylight, shells started to ar
rive in town The Germans were
shelling the same crossroad. Fin
ally, after coming in" with an es-
pecially loud scream, sixinch
shrapnel shell burst directly over the
road junction and the NJ. p. stand
ing in it. A piece of steel about
the size of an egg sailed down right
in front of the nose of the NJ. p,
while other pieces hit the roof OF
a building on the corner, in which
the Associated Press correspondent
happened to be breaking off the
tiles and scattering them in every
direction. The correspondent heard
the M. p. mutter

Correspondents have had their
troubles with the M. p, too. One
OF them was entering the gate to a
certain generals house and the M.
p. there saluted him. When the
correspondent emerged the NJ. P.
happened to notice the green arm
band and the Red { on his arm.
Say said the NJ. p. Are you
an officer :"
NO replied the correspondent
Then why did you return my sa-

why did you salute me - asked
the correspondent, in turn.
Because | thought you were an
officer" said the NJ. p.
81 returned it because | thought
you were soldier remarked the
correspondent.
Later Ones More Sensible.
The military police organizations
that have arrived recently appear
to be made up of an entirely differ
ent class of men. They are cour-
teous, carry out their orders to the
letter, do not meddle in things that
do not concern them and for the
most part display excellent military
qualities. 1t is said. and undoubt-
edly with considerable truth, that
the discipline and morale of a mil
itary organization can be determin-
ed by the way its men salute. Some
of these new military police OF ours
are amony the snappiest saluters in

BASEBALL

Sunday at Washington Park the
City league teams will again furnish
good afternoons sport for the fans
There are but three or four more
games to be played. The Mike Davys
and the Interurbans are battling away
for the flag, but the Interurbans have
few games to waste, having a per-
centage of $50, while the Mike Davys
have just split their perfect mark in
half, 500. These two teams should
draw big crowds for the balance of the
season.
In the first game starting at 80
the Days will meet Jumbo's Mud
Hens. Casey and Berg will be the bat
terry for the Days, and w. Schumann
and Keel will probably work for the
Mud Hens. The Hens romped away
with a game last Sunday from the
league leaders and great things are
expected of them Sunday. The second
game will find the Kronitz Kolts bat
thing against the Interurban Bullets.

Take Warning!

1t has come to the notice of the local
Red Cross officials that from time to
time solicitors are in the field selling
books or other articles, the profits on
which are to be shared with the Red
Cross, or some sale or auction is pro-
NOTED whereby the proceeds after de-
Quoting cost of the article and ex-
penses are to go to the Red Cross.
This is directly in conflict with the
rules of the National Red Cross. No
chapter or it's branches and auxiliar-
les, is permitted to go into partner
ship with any solicitors, promoters or
others. This organization must retain
it's sphere, and the immense prestige
it has with the public, acquired thru
its noble work, must be reserved for
it's needs only and not shared finan-
cially with others.

was returning empty from Cuba to
Pensacola and Jacksonville, the fol-
lowing facts were set forth in reply:
CAS- the Cuban crop becomes ex-

be leaving Cuba without sugar. The
Food Administration has arranged for
the transportation of every pound of
sugar from Cuba at regular intervals.
1t is not now a question of transporta-

The contest for the Republican
nomination for congress in the Third
district is between James G. Monahan
and John M. Nelson, the present in
cumbent. Nelson has always been a
La Toilette man and is yet He thinks
that worn out, dirty label of "PrOgres-
sive@ which has progressed into rank
disloyalty to the government and the
war, ought to elect him. In other
words he thinks that there ought &c
be men enough bearing that yellow
streak in the district to put him back
in congress.
Monahan, on the contrary, is stall
wart republican. He was stalwart
enough at an early stage in La Fol
lette's career to detect the falsehood
and hypocriscy there was in La Fol
lette and he stood valiantly against
nim He has always been stalwart in
his ideas of American patriotism. He
is no coward, no panderer to disloyal
men and their votes, as Nelson is. He
doesn't f1aunt the banner of a played
out progessiveism as his Justification
but he does proclaim his fidelity to
the American uatiOn and it's govern
ment, There is no yellow streak in
Jim Monahan. And for that reason
such patriotic men as Prof. John r.
Commons of the University, who was
once supporter of La Toilette, is do
ing his best to elect Monahan. The
loyal men of that district want no
man to represent them who is smit-
ten with this pro-German paralysis.
There are a lot of men over there who
used to stand with La Toilette who now
turn from him with loathing and dis
gust. They will vote for Monahan
More power to them. Let us all turn
in everywhere and clean out these
wretched apologies for good, true
American manhood, the kind of man
hood our brave boys, God bless them,
are showing over in France. That is
the kind of stuff we want in congress
from every district in Wisconsin,
