SENATORS TO ACCEPT LEAGUE

The movement has gone over the

and possibly by the time you read
this hundred leading citizens will
have signed a telegram to Senator
Hoke Smith and William j. Harris
worded as follows:
Edward Gibbon in his great mas
terpiece. The Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire, said there was one
hope as against the eruptions of the
barbarieans devastating Europe with
fire and sword, and that was Ameri
can, three thousand miles away,
across the Atlantic ocean. If Gibbon
were alive now, he would say there
IS no hope of migration to a land of
relief because of the submarine and
the airship and the radio message.
Therefore we citizens are for
the treaty and the league of nations
without reservation or amendment as
the best solution and hope for the
civilized world"
This telegram will be formed into
the above wording and sent as soon
as the great number of the citizens
have time to sign. Find yours and

Heinemann went to his bed side. He
recovered from this trouble sufficient
ly to travel and during the first part
of May was taken to the Presbyterian
hospital in Chicago.
He had several set-backs but came
out of each in such way as to give
all hope for his recovery. Last Satur-
day his condition grew very alarming,
his children were sent for and his
brother, Nathan, went to his bedside.
The sad news of his death was a
great shock to the community and
there are expressions of sorrow,
wherever one may go in our city.
Benjamin Heinemann has been for
nearly fifty years one of the very
active men of Wausau. AS mer-
chant, banker, lumberman, and in
business affairs, generally, he met I'M
bounded success and worked himself
up from a young man, whose assets
were but fertile mind and hands that
were ready to build for the future.
He was possessed of superior judgment
and capable of handling large business
affairs and this in time gave him
wealth and aff1uence.
BENJAMIN Heinemann,- while en-
gagged in large business enterprises,
always found time to devote to the
development of his home city-Wau-
sau, and to him great credit is due to
its growth, beauty and improvement
in every way. He was interested in
every movement, which tended to the
city's direct betterment. His proverb-
ial generosity helped along the steady
advancement through all the years of
his life here, as well as to materially
assist those less fortunate in life's
| battle. He was very active, even
though in poor health, in the war ac-
tivities. He was at the head of the
First Liberty Loan made in our

come to his support, that the campaign
was very successful.
He was so constituted end possessed
| of the ability, that he accomplished
all things to which he gave his en-
ergy and thought and in his death
Wausau has lost one of its best anC
ablest of men.
Benjamin Heinemann was born a
Gruensfeld, in Baden, Germany, June
| Sth, 1850. He was the son of Mr.. ant
Mrs. Samuel HeinemaIn, who in theil
