"Too Late, Sir-Good-By."

A brigadier general just back from
the front after the fierce battle which
opened with the German attack in
Pfcardy, tells the following story Of
an English officer. He was at one
end of the telephone and a young
captain in command of half-com-
pany at redoubt was at the other.
The captain was rung up at letfst
every quarter Of an hour to report.
The fight grew hotter, and he reported !:
"Things getting hotter, general. Think
we can manage" and described what
he was doing. Getting very bad now,
sir" Then. "They're all over u.s." The
general said: "Destroy your stun and
cut through as best you can. You're a
glorious fellow" Then the voice said
'Too late, sir-good-by." .

Good Advice.

"Talk less and say more" is the ad-
vice given to a group Of girls. No one
expects a girls conversation to be pro-
found and philosophical, but there Is
no doubt that more thinking before
speaking would make the words OF
many girls better worth herring. The
trouble is not that girls lack intelli-
gence, but that they are rather lazy
about using their brains.

Post Cards First Used in Austria.

Post cards were first used in Aus
tria. They became part of that coun-
try's postal service in 1888. They cost
less than half cent to send and the
first were limited to 25 words. They
were taken up by England year later.
The first picture post card is said to
have been sent In England in 1891.
Some two or three years later the first
view cards made their appearance.
Post cards came into use here In 1877.

TRANSPORT IS TORPEDOED
TUSCANIA SUNK BY GERMAN
SUBMARINE
Only About Two Hundred LOst-No
Vernon County Boys On Board

ftFHuH 1OuHNN Dogs Ou DOdfO
The Tuscania, one of a fleet of
transports conveying United States
troops was struck by a torpedo and
sunk last Tuesday night, with loss
of about two hundred.
The Tuscania carried 2,179 soldiers,
mostly Wisconsin and Michigan ma
tional guardsmen, and crew and pass
engers brought the total up to more
than $500. The fleet of transports
were heavily conveyed by British de-
stroyers, and these and a swarm of
trawlers were alongside in a few mn
utes after she was struck. This ac-
counts for the small loss of life-the
latest official report narrowing the
missing down to 1923, and this will be
materially reduced. 1t is estimated
that about 200 were lost.
There was no panic-the soldiers
lining up at the rail and singing pa
triotic songs while awaiting their
turn. Wisconsin bows in solemn
grief and pride over their soldierly
bearing and noble death. No Vernon
county boys were on board. Mem
bers of Mauston and Baraboo COM
panies were reported as all saved.
In the midst of this bitter loss of
our brave boys, there is much to light
en- our grief The loss of life was
small and considering that probably
more than half a million of our men
have braved the submarine menace
and arrived safely in France, exag-
gerated care must surely have been
thrown around the transports. I'm
doubtedly other tragedies of this ma
ture must follow, but there is com
fort in the efficiency demonstrated by
