MARTY HOME
FROM ENGlAtO

Sergeant George A. Martiny has re-
turned from England reaching the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs
John A. Martiny on Christmas morn
ing just as Santa Claus was emerging
from the chimney. It is needless to
say there was much merrimet and a
big breakfast for the returned soldier.
The young man was formerly rural
carrier at Baraboo and has been in the
aero service in England. He did not
reach France, the war ending too soon
for this experience. He has ridden
several times on the wings Of the wind
and had a thriller when the motor
stopped, high in the air. Before reach
ing the earth the machine took on new
life and safe landing was made. AS
iously stated he was covered once
with gasoline from tank but no great
harm resulted.

WISCONSIN

Wholesale rehabilitation of the big
war organization which Wisconsin es-
tablished to back in the state the work
of the soldiers who have gone out of
the state, is to be fastened to prepare
the way for extensive reconstruction
plans for business and labor alike in
the coming legislative session, says
the Chicago Tribune.
The states war machinery is to be
dismantled and the remains used as a
a skeleton upon which to build up a
new policy of state development, agri-
culturally and commercially with due
reference to the rights of both CAPT
tai and labor.
This reconstruction, however, will
not be without bitter fight in the
legislature, and the lines are already
being tightly drawn between the vari-
GUS factions in the legislature, with
the radicals in at least the post on of
a powerful minority.
1t seems assured that Gov. Philip
will not control the legislature, but
that Senator Roy Wilcox, who was de-
feated by a few hundred votes for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor, will have tighter grip on
legislative policies than the governor
himself. Wilcox dominated the plat
form convention, and his position is
important, in the matter of recon
struction, for he is at the head Of a
committee which is making a thorough
investigation of the states resources
and future, as regards the return OF
the soldiers and the after-the-war bus
mess period.
1t is already apparent that the legis-
lature has as many factions as the
German reichstag, with its near So
cialists, it's avowed Socialists, its
Progressives, it's radical and standpat
Democrats and Republicans.
The Socialists are an important fac
tor, with solid strength Of seven
teen who can be counted upon to vote
solidly as the party council dictates.
The Society of Equity provides a new
element in Wisconsin politics, which
may be socialistic or anti-socialistic
as the farmer problem develops. The
loyalist legislators who were elected
upon a straight out pro-war policy will
certainly be with Senator Wilcox.

tastefully decorated for the occasion.
Two small trees were used and also
an open fireplace at the back of the

was concluded by the distribution of

rOR CHRISTMAS

Snow greeted the American troops
in the occupied areas on Christmas
morning. 1t began falling after mid
night and continued to come down un-
til the entire district around Treves
was covered to the depth of several
inches, and in the afternoon the fall
was still in progress.
On the highlands east of the Rhine
the snow was heavier in places than
elsewhere. Along the outlying sectors
of the bridgeheads for instance, it
reached the depth of half foot.
