Effort to Find
Bodies of Victims

Efforts to locate the bodies of Roy

day.
The %searchers are now working in
the Red river some distance below

is believed that the bodies must have
floated down.
1t is fen, however. that there is
little chance now of locating the
bodies until they come to the sur

Of boy friends who are anxious to
know besides myself. ] had been sit
ting in a train one day while going to
Baltimore and happened to look upon
the ceiling and saw some flies fly of
the ceiling and flew around for about
half minute and flew right back TO
the same place as they had come How
is 1t that the train did not so on and
leave the flies behind?
Respectfully
NORTON CLARKE.
Richardson Park, Del, Nov. D.
There are two reasons why the flies
did not stay behind, Norton.
T. The air In the car was travelling
at approximately the same rate Of speed
as that Of the car itself. and the mo-
tlon Of the files was largely governed
by that Of teh air in which they moved.
Similarly, II a rowboat half fun OF
wafer we're uIuliuH uuMh a oltdiiti
Norton, and several chips were floating
on the water within the rowboat, the
motion Of these chips would be gov
erned by that Of the water within the
boat, not the wateC outside. SO you
can see that the movements Of the flies,
TO all intents and purposes, was con-
trolled by the air In the car. which
moved forward with the same speed as
that OF the train.
2. This reasoning would not apply to
a human being or a dog. cat or any ami
NAL Of appreclable weight, Norton.
They, too would move forward with
the same speed as that Of the train.
but the larger part of their motion
would be due TO their contact with the
floor or solid parts OF the car itself.
rather than by the action Of the air. OF
course, the same ruling would apply TO
the flies, when they allghted on the
ceiling, floor or seats. In short. both
the air and the motion Of the car itself
would affect the flies, but the motion Of
the train proper would govern the ac-
tlon Of heavier bodies.

Judge John Barnes III.

Judge John Barnes, SO, general coun-

the insurance building, lie sank to a
sitting posture and was carried into
the building, where he was attended
by DIR G. "A. Harlow, tile company's
physician, DIR. J. p. Mcmahon and
DR.. H. M. Ogden. After the judge
had recovered somewhat, he was taken
home, where physicians report him to
be resting easily. A rest of several
weeks is likely to be prescribed to ad-
NIT of full recovery. DR.. Harlow
stated that the judge will be incapaci-
tated for several days at least.
Judge Barnes was born in Manito-
voc county, practiced law at Rhine
lander, was appointed member of
the railroad commission in 1905, re-
signed in 1907 Immediately after pas

lance, dating from the time he pra-
ticed law at Rhinelander, in connec-
tion with N. A. Colman.

Discharging Them Fast.

Washington Sixty-eight thousand
American soldiers had been returned
from overseas Dec. q, and slightly
more than 800 900 in this country had
been mustered out of service, mem
bers of the house military committee
were told at their weekly conference
at The war department.
Officers are being discharged at a
rapid rate, Chairman Dent said, ex-
planning That $4,000 had been released
since the armistice was signed. The
largest number of discharged officers
was in the chemical warfare service
and the feWest number in the medl,
cal service.
Troop movements from abroad on
ships now controlled by the United
States are limited to 100000 men a
month, but the department hopes tc
increase this TO 100000 or 300, ZOO.
This increase depends on how many
additional ships can be obtained from
the allies and how many American
cargo ships can be converted into
transports.

There were two happy lads in Paris
letter to Mrs. Walter Merical from
her son Hugo who is with the 18th
Anti-aircraft division in France.
While strolling down the boulevards
taking in the sights Hugo met Frank
Goodwill, another Eagle River boy.
Right then and there those two Villas
county lads staged an appropriate
reunion and enjoyed life Tor few
hours. That letter home was the
first word Mr.. and Mrs Merical had
of Hugo's illness with influenza
Hugo and George Hayden left Eagle
River early last summer and enlisted
in the heavy artillery.
Their period Of training took them
to many camps up and down the At
lantic coast before they finally left
for overseas service. On the way
over both boys developed influenza
and on reaching France were carried
off the boat on stretchers. They
became separated while recovering
at hospital. Hugo is located eight
cen miles from Paris and a few days
before writing rad located his cl.um
nearby. They expect to return soon,
their battery having been shipped.
Owing to delay getting his service
record Hugo was prevented from re-
turning with his company.

as good shape as ever in a couple of
months. Another fellow showed me
a piece of shrapnel taken out of his
knee. One fellow showed me where
he nearly had his throat cut by bull

How the United States government
plans to get rid Of its immense stocks
Of surplus supplies without disturbing
business conditions was explained to
members of the Chicago Association
of Commerce yesterday by L. FL Hart
man, chief of the surplus stock divis-
ion of the United States at meeting
in the Hotel Sherman.
The government has 1850 ware
houses filled with surplus supplies, 2
said Mr.. Hartman, land merchants
have been alarmed for fear that this
immense stock would be dumped on
the general market. They need have
no fear of anything of the sort, for we
have studied conditions carefully and
will send out only what the market
can absorb.
1--WE are trying to have the goods
exported as much as possible and sell
ling to the Belgian and other relief
commissions, which are badly in need
of these supplies. Our stocks seem
large, but if the war had gone on they
would not have proved too big. We
had been counting on putting much
bigger army in the field, and these
supplies would all have been needed.
Now we are expecting to have an
army of 100000 until July /, 1919,
opd fS00 00O a flor that
Large sales are to be made to pre-
ferential buyers that is, other govern
ment departments. The post Office
department, for instance, is to take
$45, OOO,O 600 worth of auto trucks"
He thenquoted the following figures
to give an ideao the stocks on hand
in the government warehouses:
6O,OO0 auto trucks.
100000 TO 100000 horses.
l6,0000O0 pairs of shoes.
100000 hats.
12,OO0,0 900 gloves.

100000 cans of corn.
100000 cans of soup.
| 100000 cans of pork and beans.
100000 yards of cotton.
"WiCh these stocks the war depart
ment would be able to break any mar
ket, but in making the distribution,
labor, industrial and economic condi-
tions are to be given careful consider
ation," he continued Purchasing

countries have visited us and we are

will try to have these goods go first to

Nothing has yet been offered fol
