COMMUNICATION.

Wauwatosa, Wis, Nov. 25, '19.
Editor Wauwatosa News:
In your issue of Nov. 21st, there ap-
pearei an article by N. A. Wigdale
placing the blame for the kind of
speech delivered by Robert Wild at an
Armistice day celebration arranged
by the Mems Club of Trinity Parish
upon Mayor Koenig.
Mayor Koenig as well as the COM
mittee appointed to obtain speaker
for the occasion are in no way to
blame whatsoever for such a speech
as was delivered.
Mr.. Wild was selected because of
his ability as an orator and was in
formed at the time he was requested
to make the address what kind of an
address was wanted and desired. In
stead Of carrying out the wishes of the
committee the remarks of Mr.. Wild
in no manner voiced the sentiments
of the committee.
The committee on Nov. 18th took
occasion to inform Mr.. Wild that they
heartily disapproved of his address,
These facts were reported to the
Mems Club at their meeting of Nov
18th and the club after careful con-
sheraton adopted the following res
oluLion unanimously;
Whereas the Mems club of Wau-
watosa arranged an Armistice day eel
ebration at the high school building
in Wauwatosa for Tuesday evening,
Nov. IL, 1913, in honor of the soldiers
and sailors who participated bravely
and honorabIy in behalf of their coun-
try in the war against the German
empire, and in honor of Americas
great part in the victory achieved, and
Whereas, the speaker of the eve
ming, Robert Wild, of Milwaukee,
failed utterly to grasp the meaning
and the import of the occasion cele-
brated, and delivered an address en-
tirely out of keeping with the day and
it's memories and the honors due our
brave living and the honored dead,
who so nobly fought for the cause of
their country, and the cause Of liberty
and democracy.
Now, therefore, the Mems club of
| Wauwatosa, in regular meeting as
sembled, vigorously asserts that the
speaker of the evening in no manner
voiced the sentiment of the citizens
of Wauwatosa on said occasion, and
deeply deplores and deeply regrets the
character and kind of the address on
this day so commemorative and so
revered."
Not one word was heard at the
meeting which in any way attached
any blame 20 the committee or any
of it's members.
Each member of the committee has
by his conduct during the war demon
strated his patriotism and true Amer
| icanism.
This statement is made in the in
terests of justice and fair play SO that
persons who did not attend the meet
| ing of the Mems Club may clearly I'M
derstand the entire situation.
(Signed),
CHARLES E. RAGSDALE,

More Wolf Races.
The wolves are at our doors.

The wolves are at our doors.
They have become so numerous. ana
with their increased numbers. have be-
come so daring in and around Benton
that some of our citizens have felt 1t
incumbent upon them to wage war
upon the skulking beasts, and at the
same time satisfy their longing for the
joys of the chase.
During the past several weeks some
of the local sportsmen have, at differ
ent times. rounded up their dogs and
gone forth at night i'll quest OF the
COYOTES cousin. The last race took
place last Saturday night, when Mr..
Emmett Taylor and Mr.. Tom Stinson
went forth to capture the proving
beast. They failed in their object, but
they had an exciting chase. They soon
ran Oh to Il wolf and took up the race.
The animal led them at merry clip
for while and then, about five miles
| east of town, they lost him. Both men
are vowing vengeance and declare That
| they will get the wolf before they quit.
In Speaking Of the races Mr.. Taylor
said:
1T is fact that the wolves are
here. This season we have now been
hunting them for some months ana
have not yet succeeded in capturing
one, hut we will eventually do so. as
in the past. Sometimes the wolf will
run around town several times and
then down by the old Jail site. where
he will disappear and the dogs will
lose all track of him. Other times he
will take to the country. They have
been killing too many hogs and sheel
in this part of the country and we
must get Them l invite every man IL
