 anxious care, a Wherever he may be, her Flag is

 dreadful chance, Her loyal hert is there-"Somewhere

 Gone from her side when all thir rosy dreams Had led through peaceful fields, by laughing streams, She would not call him back, for this she knows, Wherever he may go Old Glory goes. Though thus may end, for her, life's dear romance, Her loyal heart is there-"Somewhere in France" Somewhere in Fance" her baby lips repeat, She lifts inquiring eyes, so gravely sweet. Wondering why her father marched Why mothers face grows paler day by day.

BRIDGEQUESTLON
Highway Commission Conducts a
New Hearing on Span Across
the Wisconsin River

The famed Prairie du Sac bridge
controversy, subject of supreme
s,ourt decision and of many protracted
hearings, has been heard again before
the state highway commission, in ses-
sion at the village.
In 1913 the matter was involved IN
action of the legislature, which appor-
toned to the state third Of the cost
of constructing all bridges exceeding
900 feet. The municipality and county
each were to pay a third.
Some time ago Prairie du Sac, Sank
county, applied to the state highway
commission for an estimate on a 1,500,
foot bridge across the Wisconsin river,
West Point, Columbia county, objected
TO paying it's share for construction OF
the bridge, the necessity of which was
questioned.
The matter was taken to supreme
court, which decided against Columbia
county.
The original $4,000 fixed by the
highway commission will not build the
Ebridge because of the increased cost
st materials and labor Accordingly
a new petition has been brought to
the commission. The entire matter is
now where it was years ago. The
commission will decide as to the ne
pcessity Of the bridge and estimate the
cost

900 Men
Il EE lid

England's bill for transporting a
million American soldiers in British
ships is about $82,00O,000. This, and
the fact that President Wilson adj
vanced $5,000,OO0 of his special fund

walks, were chief developments of to-
days hearing of Secretary Baker,
General March and other war depart,
ment officials before the house mill
itary committee.

under discussion.
1.-THE president assisted two Czecho;
Slovak corps said General March,

extent of $5,OO0,0OO, and | think he
has given them allottments since 1t
is a regular debt like any debt be
tween nations"
Great Britain Cut Down Cost
This, SO far as is known, was the
first information congress has had os
advances of money to Czechs of the
presidents fund.
The British bill for transporting
troops caused discussion. Brigadier
General Hines, director of transporta-
ton, said General Britain originally
asked $3.50 for transporting each sol
der, but the cost was finally reduced
to S81.75. Thirty-five million dollars
already has been paid Congressman
asked if he did not think the charge
excessive, but he replied he believed
the cost of using American ships would
be more.

Wet Forces Say State Is Pivotal
Point in Prohibition Fight---May
Vote This Fall


At Cincinnat anti-pTohibitionis
leaders. on Wednesday said that Ohio
was the pivotal point of interest in the
fight on national prohibition.
This is because Ohio may be the
first state in which a referendum on
the national amendment will be held.
The total number of states ratifying
the prohibition amendment to the fed
eral constitution is forty-five, but there
have been started movements for ref
erendums ia ten.
Anti-prohibitionist claim that the
referendum suspends the legislatures
action until the people have voted on
it,
II that is correct only thirty-five
states have ratified, one less than the
required three-fourths.
The question whether there can be
referendum on an amendment to the
federal constitution now is in a Co.
lumbus court in the form of an injunc-
ton asked by an attorney for the drys
to prevent a referendum.
If the injunction is denied, then a
referendum will be held at the No
vembef election.
If the referendum is against the
prohibition amendment, then the drys
are one state short Of the necessary
three-fourths, and national prohibition
cannot go into effect January 16, 1920
No other state in which a referen-
dunn is planned will vote until Septem
Der, 1920, when Maine votrs will pass
on the amendment.
