Heye some attention should be paid +o if We are not handling our own n,onav h,l+ that belonging to the peO- p1a and when it is evident thev will hack mn any expenditures of one, ten. hft,- ar a hundred thousand dollars for such purposes it goes with us
 .rrhe charge that we were fishing fo1. votes is ridiculous as one of the mon of the eleven does not desire to 20 back to the council, five of them are holdoyers, and three others are in one-Sided wards politically. There was no nationality, politics or religion in the matter a,5 the members were as evenly divided as they could be. If the. members of the council had had any opportunity to go over this mat ter, a satisfactory solution would un- doubtcdly been arrived at. If the mayor and some of his friends had held control of their temper and the presiding officer preserved order. New Britain would not now be a laughing stock throughout the state. It was rule or ruin with them, cloaked under the garb of the soldier. We regret that the city's good name has for the moment been a little tarniShed put let those who are expecting to nave a, fine time at the city's expense d9 members of the mayors official coh'- nllttee appointed before the cOuhcl was consulted, get busy and burnlsh up the shield. Unavailing efforts were made to have the council continue Ill session to transact other business waiting to be brought before It, Councilman C1illin had q resolution drawn to present for a large commit teo Of it's mem bers to secure a fund for the proposed trip. Another foSo- lution for the appointment ot q com mittee to represent the city o1fclalIY was held up. One of our members said he was in favor of sending tile boys to Boston bu: objected to the expense being borne by the city but suggested it being made by pubic subscription thus giving every pa triotic citizen chance to subscribe to welcome the boys in Boston. We believe we acted for the best interest of the people and in accordance with the law and as long as we are mem bers of the city governm ent we shall try to follow that course. We are pleased at any time to exchange views and take advice on city government matters but we do not relish abuse any more than anyone else.

ELEVEN COUNCILMEN
 MAKE STATEMENT
Those Who Voted Against Appro-
 priatiOn Try to Tell Why

Alderman o. F. Curtis one of those who voted against the $1,O00 appro- prlatlon at the last council meeting. today gave out the following state ment addressed '"To the Public":
 ''The members of the common council who voted down a verbal blanket proposition to authorize the expenditure of a, thousand or perhaps a good many more dollars of the citv's money without any time for consider atlon or definite statem ent aS to how. or for what it was to be disburSed without 8 tangible written resolution as required by the rules of the coun- cll, to state their main reasons for so doing and some facts bearing on the question to offset inaccurate mislead- ing accounts and misrepresentation in circulation not only in this city, but throughout the state.
 "We were indirectly charged in the council chamber for a lack of patriot on questions where there was differ ence of opinion and also by people outside. This is untrue in toto as our public action on all questions bearing on that matter will show, furthermore during and betore the war we have done all we could as public officials, as individuals, so far as circumstance would admit, and any one who believes or feels that there is such a feeling as human affection

PAL MOORE READY
TO MEET ]. WILDE

winter There was considerable feel.
ing at the time over the decision Up
to the time Of meeting Moore, Wilde
had eliminated everything in the
British flyweight, bantamweight and
feaiherweight classes, including the
champions Of the two heavier weights
Just before meeting Moore, Wilde met
and knocked out Joe Conn, runner
up for the British featherweight title.
Moores win over him was the first
blemish on Wides record. II prob
ably would have been forgotten if
Moore had not been reported over
here as calling Wilde hard loser.
This was too much for the diminutive
Welshman and he began working for
long contest with Moore.
Wilde's coming fight with Moore
recalls the fact that It has been
American opponents who gave him
his start. tIwas an American boxer,
the over-touted Kid Zulu of st, Louis
Mo, that gave him his original fame.
After the match had been played up
both in the states and here, Wilde
Knocked the Kid out in the first
round. Since Moore beat Wilde, Joe
Lynch of New York, slugged Wilde to
a stand-stlll in fiftten round bout
at the National Sporting club, but the
referee awarded Wilde the decision
because Lynch fouled.

AMERICAN NATIONAL
MAY BUILD

There has been a rumor about that
the American National bank is plan
ming to erect five story building
on it's present site on the corner of
Third and Scott streets. One of the
directors, who was asked if the rumor
had any foundation by a Pilot re-
porter early this afternoon, declared
that such an improvement had been
talked Of but that no definate de-
cision or action had been made by
the directors of the bank. 1t has been
the belief of many citizens that the
American National bank was fast out
growing its Accommodations, and that
to extend it's service much further a
larger building would be needed.
For months past there has been felt
in Wausau an acute need for an up
to-date and large office building to
take care of the many professional
and business men who are unable to
obtain even halfway satisfactory pla-
ces to locate. Several times of late
rumors of the erection of such an i'm
provement have reached this office but
each time the contemplated building
has fallen through. Here's hoping the
city receives the new bank.

LEGION WILL HAVE COUN.
TY FAIR BOOTH TO BOOST
IT'S MEMBERSHIP.

At a meeting of the Talbot Mont
gomery Post of the American Legion
held last evening at the G. A. K.
room in the Court House, a commit
tee consisting of Edward Oertel
chairman, Otto Eggebrecht, Frank
Okoneski, was appointed to carry on a
special membership campaign during
the week of the Marathon county fair.
A booth to contain pamphlets and
descriptive matter of the American
Legion and applications for member
ship in the Talbot Montgomery Post,
will be undertaken by the organiza-
ton. 1t was voted to postpone the
election of officers to some future
meeting.
That the U. S. army uniform has
lately been misused by some ex-ser-
vice men was pointed out and the fol-
lowing resolution, adopted at the st.
Louis caucus, is called to the atten-
ton of former soldiers !:
Whereas, it is recognized that the
uniform of the U. S. is as much a
symbol as the flag itself, and thereby
entitled to fitting respect, and where
as, certain INSCRIPTIONS firms and in
nave LdhCn lOuo
vantage of popular sentiment by util-
izing men in uniforms as peddlers and
sales agents, and,
Whereas, certain discharged men
have so far forgotten the respect due
the uniform they wear as to use it as
an aid i'll peddling, hawking and pan
handling on the streets, and from
door to door; therefore, be it
Resolved; That this national eau
Gus go on record as being unalterably
opposed to such practices, and be it
Further Resolved; That each
state and local organization here rep
resented be urged to do all in their
power to put an end to this misuse OF
the uniform, which has always been
worn with honor and for noble pur-
poses."
1t was remarked that several per-
sons had been in Wausau; two travel
ing westward selling songs, and anoth-
er a magazine solicitor.
