ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

Our rapidly declining health admon-
ishes us that the time has come when
we must sever our connection with the
Pilot, take our leave of its readers, and
close up, we fear forever, our career as
a journalist. For long months back we
have fondly hoped that with the open
ing of the leaf, the i'll that afflicts us
would relax its hold, and that the balmy
influences of the summer months
would re-invigorate us with strength
sufficient for at least a partial dis
charge of our editorial duties. But,
alas! Our hopes have not been realized,
and our duty to our readers demands
that we deliver over to ADLER hands the
management and control of the Pilot
who have health, ability and enterprise
enough to make it worthy of the sup
port and patronage of its long list of
friends and patrons. That the neces-
costs us no ordinary pang, will readily
be believed by all who know us, but the
decrees of the Divine will are above us
all, and we humbly submit to the be-
hests of Heaven.
1t is something over ten years since
we published the first issue of the Pilot
Coming here comparative stranger,
empty handed, it was Il labor of no lit
tie difficulty, with the competition then
encountered, to obtain fOothold, and
we thankfully say it here that we
would have Signally failed had il not
been for the warm-hearted and dis
interested support almost Immediately
rendered and constantly manifested
toward us since our settlement in Man
itowOc.
That we have labored earnestly, and
to the extent of our ability in the in
terest of the party with which we have
been identified all the days of our life,
will hardly be denied by any one; that
we have not committed errors we dare
not say, for to step aside is human"
To our many friends in Manitowoc
county and elsewhere we return our
heartfelt thanks for their oft-repeated
favors and kindly personal tokens of
regard. And to the press of Wisconsin
generally we are under a weight of OBJ
legation that can hardly be expressed,
for long years of constant favor and
consideration.
And now, in bidding farewell to the
readers of the Pilot, we commend to
their favor our successor, T.. B. Treat,
ESD, into whose hands the editorial
control of the Pilot has gone, and beg
of them that the same support, consid-
Grafton and forbearance that has been
so long extended to us may be given
to him, and with final God bless you
all, bid you goodbye.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. The official minutes
of the proceedings will be found in an
other column.
The city attorney gave an oral opin-
ion that he considered it very doubtful
that the city could prove that Sherman
Creek or rather the flowing of sewage
into it, is "A public nuisance so as to
give the city authority to proceed to
abate it. He said that there can be no
doubt that citizens who can show dam
age or injury are entitled to have the
nuisance abated. He said in effect that
to establish a public nuisance it would
be necessary to show that public prop
erty is beiig oamalai or public health
menaced.
The question came up later of the
city attempting to prevent the Gas Co.
from eercting a cOntainer out near the
west end of Franklin street and the
attorney said that the same rules would
apply to this.
Arthur Schuetze had q bill in for the
cabinet work in rearrangng the city
Offices recently and two questions were
raised First, whether he could law
fully collect any bill, he being a mem
her of the city police and fire commits
sion. The attorney ruled that he is not
technically a city officer within the
meaning of the statute and stated how
he arrived at this conclusion. Second,
that his check of hours of labor did not
agree with the city check. When it was
disclosed that the city had kept no
check the bill was allowed.
The committee was told to get au-
thority from the council before again
ordering work of this magnitude.
The bond issue to furnish money to
pay for a new bridge at 10th street
was raised from SlS0,000 to 100000
to forestall any move for referendum
petition it was ordered to be submitted
to the electors at special election
called for July 90
The leasing of space in the west side
park to medicine show was scored
and denounced as illegal and the police
were directed to chase the doctors
off the city's lot. The movie people ana
the druggists were up in arms but the
council was told that it cannot prohlpit
them operating on private property II
they pay the license the city ordinance
exacts. Thompson declined to vote ana
the other two Socialists voted mo on
the chasing proposition.
The council, however, voted to let
the Barnes animal circus occupy the
park for one day with the same pair
dissenting. The affair caused consider
able debate.
McKeough stated that the city will
have used 100000 gallons of street OIL
by the end of the season and got the
council To authorize the immediate pur-
chase of five more cars of oil on whlch
The committee had secured low rate
of So cents per gallon.
The water utility has abolished all
special rates and put on metered CON
sumption the few who were not. Ev-
eryone pays on a sliding scale ranging
from 22 cents per 100 cubic feet down
to 4 cents according to the amount

Germany Denies Any
Intention of Bigger Army

Berlin, Wednesday, No. 3.-The
government to-day gave out the text
of the Entente note of December
protesting against the development
of Germany's military forces. The
note refers to the formation OF
bodies outside the actual army, such
as the public security police, the
volunteer guard and the citizens
guard, in contravention, it is de-
clared, of the Peace Treaty. The
note says the organizing of these
bodies may be interpreted as an
intention on the part of Germany
not to fulfill the terms of the Treaty,
and 1t requests the German govern
ment to abolish these forces or to
reduce them to accordance with the
provisions of the Treaty.
According to a semiofficial expla-
nation issued here, the government
denies any intention of increasing
the army. 1t declares that the re-
duction of the army to the stipu-
lated limit of 100000 is in full swing
and it expresses regret that there
has never been a beginning of the
mutual discussion with the Entente
on the subject of the strength of
the policing forces which Germany
finds it necessary to maintain in the
interest of public security, although
Germany several months ago sus-
gested such a discussion.

Revision Of Protocol Is
Demanded by German
Peace Delegation Leader
BIZ Associated Press.

Paris, Dec. 4. - Revision of the
protocol of the Versailles treaty of
peace is demanded by Kurt Won
Lersner head of the German peace
delegation. before he will sign it.
Responsibility for the sinking of
interned German warships at Scapa
Flow is denied by the Berlin govern
ment. and it is demanded that the
allied claims for indemnity for the
ships be referred to The Hague for
arbitration. 1t is asserted that the
progress of the protocol referring to
the. evacuation of Lithuania is un-
necessary, as that evacuation is nov
considered complete and final" In
addition, demand is made that the
paragraph providing for coercive
measures by the allies in case of yio-
lation of the treaty terms should
be changed so that there cannot be
an invasion of Germany lin times of
peace on any trivial prctcXt"
Advices received from London
state that papers recovered from the
German warship Emden, which has
been fioated at Scapa Flow show
that Rear Adrimai Adolf Won Tro-
tina, head of the. German admiralty
wrote letter to Admiral Won Reu-
ter on May 9, 1919, telling the latter,
who was in command of the interned
German ships, that the surrender of
the ships to the enemy remains out
of the question" Directions from
Admiral Won Reuter- to his officers
giving directions as to the scuttling
of the ships were also found in the
Emden's safe. These documents will
probably have a bearing on future
developments of the situation which
is delaying the final step in putting
the peace treaty into effect

Won't Accept Wage
Cut For Five Years

Syracuse, Dec. A decrease in
wages will not be considered by the
American workingman for n period
of at least five years, according to
James p. Holland, president of the
State Federation of Labor, in>attend-
ance at the State Industrial Congress
here. He has just completed 4 tour
of the country. in the course of
which he has met and talked with
majority of the leaders of the
American labor movement.
II there is downward revision in
the cost of living that will give the
dollar a greater purchasing power.
Mr.. Holland believes 1t likely that
the workers will eventually agree to
wage that will be lower in the
number of dollars which it brings In.
But, he maintains, the downward re-
vision of the general cost must come
first. and the worklngman must have
a chance to readjust himself.

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair

Girls--if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful. glossy. silky hair, do by
all means get rid of dandruff, for 1t
will starve your hair and ruin it II
you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve 1t, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces OF
ordinary liquid arvon;, apply 1T at
night when retiring; use enough to
mo:sten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning most, If not all. of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pietely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of 1t.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel
hundred times better. You can get
LIQUID arvon at any drug store. It
is inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need. no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.

MARTHA HEDMAN
in NEW PLAY
An After-the-War Play Which
Grips Is Miss Hcdman's
New Vehicle

Before large audience at the
orpheum last night, Martha Hedman
scored another hit in her new play
of this year, Forbidden" an after
the-war play of the Army of Occu-
patton in Germany.
The play, which abounds with
both pathos and humor, was most
capably presented by Miss Hedman
and her company. The lighter side
was seen in the army talk" the
"Y" man. and rollicking songs with
their barber shop" chords.
The entire action takes place in
an old castle to which come the
American soldiers and which is des-
ignated as headquarters. Love comes
to the proprietress and one of the
soldiers, but just as all arrange
ments are completed for the we'd
ding ceremony, she learns that it Is
her lover who has killed her broth
er. Her brother, however, was the
man responsible for the generals
sons death. She renounces her
love, and is only won to the point
of forgiving her lover by the plead
ing of the general. The plot Is sim
pie enough, but its simplicity, in the
hands of Miss Hedman and her COM
pany makes it great and beautiful.
The entire company was all that
could have been desired. The act
ing was fiawless. the contrast by vir-
tue of the parts cast, laid particular
stress upon the tense and severe,
role given to the stars.
The play in it's early days of pre-
sentation was devoid of the new
ness which so often characterizes
new pieces. There can be, 1t would
seem, no reason why 1t should not
be we'll received and acclaimed by
critics elsewhere.
