MISS HELEN COATES

Miss Helen Coates, who is doing en-
tertainment work in France, writes of
an interesting trip through the Alps
mountains on her way into Germany,
where she will be until July 18th.
From her letter this week: "Valdahon
was nearer heaven than l ever ex-
pected to be in France, way up in the
mountains-snow-capped ones in the
distance and valleys filled with daffo-
dis and yiolets below. We had splen-
did audiences there: 900 the night we
played for soldiers, and all the officers
from the artillery school at the offic-
ers' theatre. We also initiated a new
theatre at balloon school. Saturday
we played in three wards of the hos
pital, the last time in a quarantined
one, where there was everything from
mumps to diptheria. When we were
most through the head nurse came in
and told me that man dying of pneu-
monia, wanted more violin music, it
gave me peculiar feeling, knowing
that it would be the last music the
poor fellow would ever hear in this
world-and he so far away from home
and country. 1t made my heart ache
and for the rest of the day 1 was all
used up"

Remained in France With Unit Repre-
senting seth Division

Sgt. Edward Oertel, seth Division,
returned to Wausau last Wednesday
after almost eight months of service
in France, with the A. E. F. The reg
iment in which Sgt. Oertel was serv-

Mans, the unit was stopped and the

hold the men there, an armistice hav-
| ing been completed.
"The troops were then taken to the
Forwarding Camp, where many Wau-
sau boys have been and a place they
will never forget" Sgt. Oertel says.
"At this place the major portion of
the Blackhawk division made arrange
ments to return to the states and a
permanent cadre was selected to rep
resent that unit as an organization.
Those men who remained in France,
after the majority had sailed made up
the 1st, End, 3rd and 4th provisional
regiments, each one of which was as
signed certain lines of duty through
out the area"
Sgt Oertel was assigned to duty at
first in LaBreil, Sarthe, France, about
twenty miles from LeMans, the latter,
city of 125,000. Every four to six
weeks the regiments would change
from one place to another. Finally,
according to Sgt. Oertel, the men land
ed in the Classification camp, where
all troops were fully equipped. The
camp was III shape to equip fully
5000 men a day. Sgt. Oertel landed in
New York on May 9th and was dis
charged from the army at Camp Grant

OF the Civil war when our patriotic
citizens offered their lives that this
union OF states might be preserved
and the republic might live.
This year a new army is returning

On this solemn occasion | wish to
remind our people that MANY Wis

GREAT RECOLLECTION

I One of the features of the parade
OF the afternoon was the presence OF
the two officers, Major Frank l..
| GottscLalk, whose promotion has been
most rapid, he being a second lieuten-
ant when he first left Wausau, and
Capt. L. ]. Donovan, who had been
in command of Co. &c" since Capt.
E. l. Lucas was transferred They
made an exceptionally pleasing pic
ture mounted ON horses and through
out the line of march were constantly
applauded. Both officers are held in
high regard by their men. Capt. Dom
ovan, who resides in Grand Rapids,
Mich, came to Wausau, before going
to his home, and was accompanied by
his wife.
Street Dancing
Flags of the allied countries, Amer
lean flags and electric lights of all
colors decorated Scott street, between
Third and Fourth streets, where an
immense dance floor had been en-
closed. Hundreds of couples danced
here from the early hours of the night
until after ten o'clock Confetti was
thrown about and "there was a big
tlme every minute. Cars were parked
on adjoining streets most thickly.
hundreds having come in from nearby
towns and villages to participate in
the celebration.
And now just little over a month
remains before Peace Jubilee Week,
when all soldiers, sailors and marines
who have served with the United
States, will be honored A program,
which will far excel that of Tuesday
has been arranged.
Company &c" men have merited this
great recognition by the people of the
city. In their service with the Wis
consin National Guards they distin-
guished themselves and more lately |
in the U. S. army. 1t is to be hoped |
that each and everyone of these boys
will once again locate in Wausau, af- |
ter an absence which with Interrupt
tions has extended from their service |
at the Mexican border, through the |
world war up to the present.

planned, is unable on account of con-
stitutional provisions, to give its SOL

ial, but he expressed the belief that
the federal government was likely to
make some further provision in the
near future.

CITY COUNCIL WILL HELP
DANIELSON TOOL co.
ESTABLISH HERE
Special Meeting Held Wednesday
Night-ShOe Factory, Now Near
Milwaukee, POssibility-Paving of
Clinton Street Protested

| Provided that the total amount ex.
pended by the city shall not exceed
| $1,000, the city council voted at q
special meeting held last Wednesday
evening, to aid the Danielson Tool
Company, of Chicago, to locate in
Wausau. The city has entered into
a contract whereby it will pay a GER
tain percentage of the wages paid out
by the company for period of eigh-
teen months.
According to the information of the
concern local men possess the con-
struction of a building 70x200 feet is
contemplated. That this would be
most desirable from the viewpoint of
the municipality was the opinion of
several aldermen. 1t was explained
that the company, at present manufac-
turing its products, is placing on the
market garage tools. A site has been
obtained on First street, next to the
t. H. Jacobs storehouse. Several local
men are financially interested in the
concern. At the present time the
Danielson Tool Company is employing
fifteen men. An investment of about
$4,000 is planned, when the concern
will increase the number of men en-
ployed to 25.
Shoe Factory
A shoe factory, according TO w. r..
Chellis, secretary of the chamber of
commerce, is also in sight. 1t en-
ploys 200 to 400 people and is at
present located just outside of Mil
waukee. Other cities, it was declared
are working hard to get this concern
remonstrance in regard to the
paving of Clinton street had been filed
but was tabled, the councilmen feeling
that work should not be delayed long
er. The idea was entertained by
several that paving on Clinton street
should not be undertaken until the
bridge over the falls had been paved.
Attention was called to the petition
of the Wausau Telephone Co. for per-
mission to increase it's rates. The city
ent at the hearing on June 3rd and
to protest any increase.
The salary of ]. D. Weinkauf, street
commissioner, was raised to $4.00 a
day, after a considerable bit of dis
cussion in regard to the legality of the
action. The council refused the re-
quest of the Wausau Chamber of Com
merce for an appropriation of $500 to
advertise the city and county. 1t was
the general opinion that the $500 ap-
propriated recently by the county board
was sufficient, and covered both the
city and county.

CROP PROSPECT. UNUSUAL

That crop prospects are unusual was
the unanimous opinion of several
farmers, who visited the Pilot last
week. Though the season has been
slightly late, they believe little warm
weather will bring things up splendidly
and that the customary danger of a
killing frost has been averted as q
result this year.
