BI0ckading Germany

The returns from the German cleo
tions seem to indicate that Germany
desires stable, democratic govern
ment under the control of the moder-
ate Socialists. The reputation of the
Spartacides and their program of civil
war appears TO be complete. We have
reason to hope that Germany will es-
tablish an orderly government with
which the allied countries can carry
on necessary international transac-
tions.
If this proves to he the case, 1t
would seem to be the part Of wisdom
for the allies. to make an early~revi-
sion Of their present policy with re-
ference to the blockade. The argu-
ment in favor of modifying the block
ade does not rest on any sentimental
sympathy for Germany; it rests on
very practical considerat ions.
For one thing, we do not want a
condition of disorder to exist in Ger
many because Of it's possible evil in
duence on the rest of the world. In
so far as short rations cause disorder
we have it in our pawer6O assist the
moderates and the supporters of con-
stitutional government. But more
important is our determination to
make Germany pay for the devasta-
tion and ruin she has wrought in the
war. We imagine that one Of the
planks in the Spartacus platform is
the Reputation of all war obligations,
including indemnities. If we hope to
collect these penalties and the JUS
tice of imposing them is unquestioned
we must not only give what support
we can to the establishment Of a sta
bic government but we must permit
Germany to resume her normal econ
omic and industrial life.
That permission must, of course, be
closely sateg uarded. Tt may be pre-
sumed the allies have hitherto refused
to lift the blockade for fear Germany
might seek to recover her military
power But the blockade is entirely
in the hands of the allies, and there
is no reason why it could not be adj
justed to prevent any recfudescence OF
German mIlitarism and at the same
time permit the German people to
pay off their international indebted
ness. Probably allied manufacturers
and exporters are anxious to keep Ger
many out. of foreign markets as @long
as possible, but there is more than a
question whether this would not ul-
timately prove shortsighted policy.
There is twofold danger in dealing
with Germany On the one hand, we
are likely to allow our hatred to over
ride our common sense. On the other
hand, there is the possibility of our be-
ing duped by sentimental appeals tic
our clemency. The course of sanity
is to approach the problem in as ra.
tional a frame of mind as possible.

Road Work Stopped

Work on the road graveling jobnear
State Line has been abandoned for
the present and the crew disbanded.
This stretch of road has long been a
great impeachment to traffic of all
kinds and especially the auto travet
which in the past few years has grown
to immense proportions. To remedy
this condition Highway Commissioner
Nemacheck and State Engineer Sar-
gent made an investigation of
Mosquito Hill nearby, and found what
appeared to be an extensive deposit of
gravel. Arrangements were made for
transferring the gravel to the high
way using train of sleig CHS drawn by
tractor power, and the proper equip
ment was supplied at a considerable
outlay. Lack of snow delayed begin
ming the work until a couple of weeks
ago. Soon after getting to work it
was discovered that although gravel
exists there in large quantities it runs
in pockets and impracticable to remove
by power methods. In consequence
it was deemed advisable to walt until
spring, when work will be continued
using teams and wagons on the job.
Every traveller over the road regrets
that the work could not have been
finished this winter and are hoping
that another year will see the project
completed.

Feeding Crying Babies.

The mother who feeds her infant
every time he cries has unjustifable
confidence in the wisdom of that
baby. She shows an equally unjusti-
fable lack of confidence in the sum
total of knowledge that all the ex-
perts in feeding babies have acquired
since the dawn of civilization.
A horse owner would not trust to
the Judgment of Old Dobbin by
giving him the liberty of going to the
oat or corn bin whenever his appetite
dictated AMI yet. personal PAL entail
pride aside, we all know that Old
Dobbin has as good Judgment as the
average baby a few weeks old. Be-
sides which, the baby usually is not
hungry when he cries.
Perhaps the realization, by great
many mothers, that most babies do
better on feelings not closer together
than every four hours, has done more
to reduce infant deaths and infant
sickness than any other single bit of
knowledge. At any rate it seems to
me that this fact constitutes the
very beginning of exact knowledge Of
how to rear babies successfully.
Some babies may need feeding
every three hours. Possibly there
may be some who need food oftener.
If so they need a very competent doc
tor and good deal of personal study
and expert attention.
We shall send, free of cost, a Baby
Feeding Chart" which was prepared
by committee of expert baby special
lists. to any mother who will send her
name and address to

omtmending dismissal sof the case,
and it was stated that the precedents
had been very carefully investigated,
and there was no precedent giving
jurisdiction to the senate for state
ments made outside Of the senate by
a senator other than expulsion, and
the majority Of the committee, in
Guiding Senator Kellogg, were of the
opinion that expulsion was not auth
orized under the circumstances.
'sSenator Knox was also a member
of the committee who 4cane to this
conclusion and told me personally he
wholly disaproved of the tenor of the
ST. Paul speech, bnt that there was
no authority for action upon it by he
senate. The vote simply means that
there was no Justification for expul-
sion, and in this opinion concur.
II do not believe that there were
half dozen senators who would not
condemn the ST. Paul speech, and
do not personally know Of any senator
that approved it. In view Of these
circu instances, / can hardly see how
anyone can claim that the action OF
the senate was an exoneration. 1t
was merely dismissal of the case.

SCHOOL YEAR REPORT
CHANCE FOR ERROR
Influenza Vacation Means
More Care In Making
Out Annual Record
in all Schools.
in all Schools.

The general prevalence of influenza
throughout the state which necessi-
tated the closing of many schools for
a more or less extensive period has
brought into prominence certain
questions relating to the method to be
followed in making out the annual re-
ports for such schools.
In order that the method of reporting
may be correct and uniform through
out the state so. far as possible, it
seems desirable for this department
to give out certain information bear
ing upon these points.
First, the days during which the
school has been closed during the year
on account of the epidemic should not
be reported as days taught; second,
pupils should not be credited with at
tendance on the days when the
school was closed on account Of the
epidemic. The annual report should
show the actual number of days
school was maintained, including legal
holidays. The legal school year in
Wisconsin is eight months (l6O days,
including legal holidays.)
If the epidemic has reduced the
time school was actually in session to
less than eight months, the annual re-
port of the clerk, when filed with the
county superintendent, should be &C
companied by an affidavit, signed by
the members of the school board, Set
ting forth briefly the reason for fall
ure of the district to maintain school
the required length of time. If in a
city under the jurisdiction of city
superintendent school has not been
maintained for at least eight months,
the apnual report of the city superin-
teDdent should be accompanied by a
statement setting forth briefly tile
reason for failure to maintain school
the required length of time. The
teachers should in all cases indicate
in their registers the period during
which the school has been closed on
account of the epidemic.
In determining the average daily at
tendance for the year the total num-
Der of days actual attendance should
be divided by the number of days
school was actually in session. This
will prevent the average daily attene-
snce being reduced by tile fact that
school was closed on account OF the
epidemic.

U. S. viii Keep Arms.

Washington-M Maj. Gen. Williams,
chief of ordnance, described to the
house military committee some of the
steps taken by his department. to pre-
vent the country from going back to
the state of unpreparedness it was IN
before the war Sufficient arms ard
ammunition will be kept for an amy
large enough to guard the country
against any possible invasion.
The ordnance department. now has
3, 100000 rifles, 2,0oO,OOO,O0O rounds Of
ammunition, and enough artillery
ammunition to supply forty-eight
divisions for six months. Similarly
large quantities of other equipment
is being held.
The department. plans to keep this
material, and in addition machinery
for making it, which has been manu-
featured during the war. Tt would
be impracticable to retain all the ma
chinery, SO a portion of it will be
sold. Most of it. however, will be
dismantled and placed in warehouses,
where. it will be Immediately Access
sible. All dies and gauges will be
kept also.
Gen. Williams asked for an appro-
priation of 100000 for bringing
back from France thousands of tons
of ammunition of all kinds now in
storage there or at ammunition
dumps. Most of it was in good con-
dition, he said.

one end of it there is deep hole ap-
proxjmately ten or fifteen feet in

bottom is stream Of running water
which emptied into the sea. This
deep, round hole was lined with
knives, daggers and swords all the
