LODGE IN 1918 AND NOW

Senator Lodge, leader of the Senate
majority now trying to put through
the sO-called seperate peace resolution
in the Senate, is the same Senator
Lodge who, in an article in The Forum
magazine in Decembr, 1918, said it
would be a crime" to negotiate a
seperate peace. He wrote then:
"The President who delivered the
war message and the Congress who
voted the war would be guilty of the
blacklist crime If they were willing
to make peace on the status quo ante
bellum, and re-create the situation
which existed before the war. If we
send our armies and our young men
abroad to be killed and wounded in
Northern France and Flanders with
no result but this, our entrance into
the war with such an intention was
crime which nothing can justify.
The intent of Confress was that we
would create a situation where no
such war as could recur. We cannot
make peace except with our Allies. 1t
would brand us with everlasting dis
honor and bring ruin to us also if we
undertook to make a separate peace"
There is no stronger argument
against the Knox-Porter resolution
than Senators Lodges own.

LOOKS LIKE FOUL PLAY

Recently the Pilot noted the death
of Edward 4. Powell of Stevens Point
who was electrocuted near the Port
Edwards paper mill. The statement
made by the Nekoosa-Edwards Co.,
and published in the Stevens Point
Journal, as to the death of Powell,
is suggestive of foul play:
"Mr. Powell's death, it was ascer-
tanned following the tragedy, was the
result of wire being thrown across
tn Centralia & Port Edwards trans
mission line and the Port Edwards
Nekoosa transmission circuit, which
made the latter circuit alive after
the power was supposed to have been
cut off from that line before the men
started to work making repairs.
The piece of wire, which was 80
inches in length, was found resting
on the two center wires in the second
arm in the middle Of the spang about
35 feet from the ground close to the
Port Edwards MILL"
PerpetratOr Responsible
The explanation authorized by the
Nekoosa-Edwards Paper company
following paragraph telling that the
wire was thrown over the circuits,
follows:
Whether the wire had been thrown
across the transmission line inten-
tionally or not, the perpetrator of the
deed is responsible for the death of
Mr.. Powell and If guilty Of attempt
to commit an unlawful act will be
punished by guilty conscience to his
dying day whether ever tried in a
court of justice or not"

PLUM LAKE FIRES
Threatening Forest Fires Rage
Wednesday and Thursday

Last Wednesday afternoon tele-
phone message was received from
Plum Lake stating that heavy forest
fires were raging south of Plum Lake
station and running towards the sum-
mer homes north of Sayner's summer
resort. For a time it was thought that
number of the cottages would be
destroyed before a large enough force
of men could be gotten together to
fight it effectually. Jud Alexander
left here with an automobile full OF
men at four o'clock Thursday morn
ing. The fire was stopped before
reaching the cottages, but much terri
tory was burned over though not close
to the lake. The fire was practically
under control by Wednesday evening.
If the weather continues dry, there
may be a renewal of the fire, and with
a heavy wind might do lots of dam
age.
DR.. Russell Lyon was up to Ha-
zelhurst, Wednesday, where he is hav-
ing cottage built and he found forest
fires raging there. So far it is bad
year for forest fires.

CROP SHORTAGE

A reduction in the acreage to be
planted to potatoes and beans will be
one of the most serious results OF the
unfavorable late spring of 1920, the
shortage of farm help, and the uncer-
tain market for farm crops states Jo-
seph A. Becker, of the Wisconsin Co
operative Crop Reporting Service.
This is true not only of Wisconsin but
of practically the entire United States.
A special inquiry on May 1 revealed
the fact that under present conditions,
farmers in Wisconsin will be able to
plant only 95 per cent of the 1919 acre
age of potatoes and 70 per cent Of the
1919 acreage of beans.
The intended acreage of potatoes in
the leading potato states will be only
95 per cent of last years acreage,
while the area in beans will be only
II per cent of last years acreage
Other important potato states with in
tended acreage compared to 1919 are:
Michigan, 900; Minnesota, 500; Cal
ifOrnia, 110%; New York, 979d; Colo
RADIO, 949o; Idaho, $3.50; Maine, uncer-
tain, (as near full acreage as possible
dependent on receipt of fertilizer.)
The intended acreage in beans COM
pared to 1919 are: Michigan, 1870;
New York, 900; Colorado, 65&6; Ida
no, 1O09o; California, 500 Oima beans
900, others 45%); New Mexico, 500.
Commercial Potatoes
1t is estimated that Of the 1919 COM
mercial potato crop, only % per cent
or 500 cars remained to be shipped on
May l. Of this number, approximately
One-half is seed stock. Last year on
May 1, n per cent or 1900 cars still
remained to be shipped In Mime
sofa, only Is per cent of the 1919 crop
or about 375 cars remained on May
1; in Michigan only per cent or
about 200 cars; and in Maine, where
shipments were held up bp unusually
heavy SHOWS during the winter, about
1000 cars, practically all in Aroos-
took county.

MUCH CRUSHED ROCK NEEDED

The proposed road-building program
in Minnesota this year will require
about 667 900 tons of crushed rock or
gravel, or nearly 10000 carloads of
aggregate, according to information
secured by the Bureau of Public Roads
United States Department of Agricul-
ture The figures give some idea of
the magnitude of the road-building
program now being carried out in
many States. Largely on account of
a shortage of crushed stone or gravel
5S miles of road which were to have
been built in 1919 were not completed.
These roads are to be completed this
year. while about $50 miles of new
construction requiring crushed rock or
gravel has been authorized. This
makes a mileage of $50 scheduled for
1920.

vens Point nine, but in the last half
the game was hotly contested and the
visiting team came back with to 0
in the 7th and 8th innings, bringing
in a final score in the 9th. Perhaps
the weather had its effct on both teams
and also on the spectators. Next Sun
day afternoon the Mosinee and Wau-

port as they received last time.
