prepare for war we will have to fight.
If all the powers. OF the world were

Moving Pictures in Tahiti

Papeete, Tahiti, Oct. 11.-(By
MaiD During the past month, Ia
hiti has been a vast moving picture
studio. A company of American
movie" actors has been staging n
hectic drama of love and hate in the
South Seas. The coconut groves and
fairy valleys have echoed to the cries
of frenzied directors and clicking of
cameras until the lotus eaters have
been awakened from their beatifc
dreams; and the tinkle of much back
shesh has stirred even the Tahtian
native to get up and hustle.
1t has not been one "grand sweet
song" for the director. There has
been no little difficulty in getting the
native "supers" to take their parts
seriously. When the big aeroplane
engine started the hurricane, which
was to sweep the native village to the
four quarters of the compass, the in
habitants, instead of rushing from
their tottering huts and registering
CONSERVATION, stood around in groups
laughing at the artificial destruction
and incidentally spelling several hun
dred feet of valuable film. Nor has it
been easy to induce pious church
members (whose ancestors repudiated
heathenism over hundred years
sgo) to bow down with convincing
abandon to the big papier-mache ido'
(made in the U. S. A. set up before
the mystic grotto-especially with
their friends and relatives standing
about making ribald remarks.
1t has nevertheless, been joyous
month for the islanders. They have
long been ardent devotees of the NOV.
ing picture theatre; and this oppor-
tunity of witnessing the technique Of
the making of pictures has afforded
them much delight.

seeks to inform the public at large
through the printed page. as to the
danger Of tuberculosis, how it can be

when the correspondent attended yes
pers, he was followed out of the
church by one of the priests who beg
ged that food come from America be-
fore his people starved.
In the worst areas there is far
more hunger swelling than was seen
in vienna in the winter of 1918. This
is the last stage of starvation and
when it comes neither foor nor medi
cine will help.
The majority of such cases are to
be seen in the cities, about the rail
way station, in the trains or about
the landing stages and on the steam
ers of the Volga, where hundreds of
thousands of peasant wanderers are
seeking to reach friends in districts
where they imagine food conditions
are better. The government is trying
to discourage such wanderings but
they are continuing. q
The distances made by peasant
families is incredible. At Saratov
about the river front, may be met
families from Orenburg going toward
Ukraine, where the crops did not
fail, and then families from Astrak-
han going up river to some one Of
the German villages such as Volsk
or Baronov.
While there is perfect order in al

Leaders in India Removed

London, Nov. 20.-Three of the
most active of the followers of Chan
di, the independence leader in India,
have been removed from activity for
the time being by the sentence of two
years Imprisonment imposed at Kara
chi, India, of Mshomed Ali, Shaukat
Ali and DR.. Kitchlew on charges of
sedition and causing disaffection
among the troops.
According to information received
here, the Ali brothers have been a
source of trouble to the British gov
ernment in India for some years. They
were interned in 1915 on charges Of
having promoted sympathy for the
Kings enemies in the war. Four
years later, in 1919, they were I'M
prisoned on charges of disloyalty in
the Afghan war, but were released af-
ter about six months Imprisonment,
under a royal proclamation of clemen-
cy toward political prisoners at the
tie of the passing of the India Reform
Act.
1t is claimed that they at once re-
newed their activity against the gov
ernment. Mahomed Ali was selected
leader of the Caliphate delegation
which came to London last year and
was granted interviews by the prime
minister.
On returning to India, it is charged
that he prompted the migration of
pious Musselmans from India to At
ghanistan, which migration was part
of the Caliphate agitation. Some 49,
900 persons left their homes in the
frontier provinces of India but soon
returned after suffering severe hard
ships in Afghanistan.
The government charged that the
Ali brothers were in close association
with Ghandi and moved up and down
the country conducting campaign of
incorporation and made constant
appeal to the militant fervor of their
co-religiorists.

Russian BOlshevik
Suffering From Hunger

Samara, on the Volga, Nov. 49,
(By a Staff Correspondent of The AS,
Sociated Press).-The numerical anC
geographical extent of the great
famine cannot be given. There is to.
day and has been as much food avail.
able in Samara, for those who have
money, as in Baku, on the Caspian
Sea, 1000 miles distatn. The Rus.
sian refugees from Bolshevism ir
Constantinople are suffering from
hunger and lack of clothing almost
as much as those Russians in Poltava
and they in their turn as much as
those in Orenburg.
The Associated Press correspondent

Baku, Astrakhan and Samara, anc
everywhere found intense misery, the
most sordid of which was seen ir
the dreary steppe region between
Tihis (Georgia) and Baku (port Of
Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea-.
There revolution after revolution
for five years, has left trail of de-
struction and ruined houses ano
wrecked railway stations which can
not be matched in Russia. Added tt
the lack of food, is the constant bat
tie with malaria, cholera, and typhus
and added to these is the colo
against which there is little shelter ol
fuel.
No more pathetic sigh was seer
than that of the Baku central railwa!
station where thousands of men, wo
men and children, going nobody coult
saw where, were camped on dirty sid
ings, for the most part dressed i,
rags and eating scraps of food hk'
hunted animals.
To the north, along the Volga il
Russia, the misery is often of the re
spectacle, cleanly kind. At Czaritzyl
thousands of families are living il
railway cars. Others have been hous
ed in villas and palaces.

than the rule everywhere in the fam

67,7S2. The death rate from tuber-
culosis Is 1920 higher in the South
than in the Nation as a whole. One
reason for the exceedingly high death
rate in the South Is the great preva-
ience OF the plague among the negroes
who are especially susceptible to tuber-
culosis, the death rate among them
being three and one-half times that
among the whites. But inasmuch as
the negroes will doubtless continue to
be intimately associated with the
whites In domestic and other work in
the future, the whites will never be
safe from infection until the negroes.
as well as the whites, have been freed
from the plague.

Asks That Circulars
And Catalogues be left out

New York, Nov. 21.-Postmaster
Morgan has again appealed to the
business men of New York to discon-
tinue, as far as possible, the mailing
of large quantities of circulars and
catalogues during the week immedi-
ately preceding Christmas day. This
is to enable the post-office to handle
the great quantity of Christmas mail
which begins to run heavy about two
weeks before the holiday.
The postmaster stated that busi-
ness men aided him last year in pre-
venting congestion of mail at that
time by withholding mail which could
be deferred until after Christmas.
In urging them to do the same this
year, he stated that it had been ascer-
tanned that many persons transport.
ing large numbers of circulars and
catalogues should arrange their adj
vertising campaigns so that these car
be mailed either before December
10 or after the holiday rush was over
without detriment to their interests

REPORT
SHOWS PROPERTY
ASSESSMENT FIGURES

The report of Robert w. Monk, Jr.,
assessor of incomes for Marathon
county, is now printed and ready for
distribution. 1t contains a detailed
statement of the assessment of the va
rious districts within the county and
a statement of the true value of per-
Sonal and real property within each
of the districts.
THE assessment in and for the coun-
ty of Marathon, is far from being on
an equal basis with some of the other
counties in tne state" Mr.. Monk says
in his address to the board of super
visors of the county. Marathon coun-
ty has had the reputation of being
the poorest assessed county in the
state of Wisconsin and it is a reputa-
ton the county can we'll afford to lose.
The assessment for the present year
will show that the assessors have in
many instances tried to fulfill their
duty and make just and equitable as
sessment according to law.
Il am sorry to say that there are
Instances in which the assessors have
failed to do their duty aud as a re-
suit have spoiled the efforts of their
brother assessors. The town of Har-
rison is good example of under as
sessment. The assessment there is
40 per cent as compared with 81 per
cent for the previous year. The as
sessment of all personal property for
the county shows so per cent as COM
pared with the percentage of 50 per
cent for 1920"

HOW TO PATCH GRAVEL ROAD
Work Should Always Be Done When
Road Is Wet, Preferably When
Water Is Standing in Ruts.

Patching is usually neglected or
done in such q way as to cause two
ruts to form where there was but one
before. That is the invariable result
of filling a rut too full. This work
should always be done when the road
is wet, preferably when the water is
still standing in every little hollow on
the road surface, so that the workmen
can just see where to place the new
gravel and about how much is needed.
Unless the rut is very large one,
it is always best. to shovel the gravel
from the wagon into~it, rather than to
raise a sideboard and attempt to dump
a part of the load. Patching done In
the proper manner when the road is
wet, followed by a road drag, will
maintain an old gravel road surface
as good as new until it is so badly
worn that an entirely new surface is
required. The gravel should never be
poorer than that forming the surface
layer of the old road, and espe cially
should contain a little, but not an ex-
cess of clay.

LAID ON SUNDAY

The ceremony of laying the corner
stone and dedicating the church build
ing on First street, near the corner

FLORENCE MACBETH
FULFILLS PROMISE
TO MUSIC LOVERS

+ Florence Macbeth, coloratura So
prano Of the Chicago Opera company,
fulfilled all the expectations with
which Wausau music lovers had
awaited her appearance at the Opera
House last Friday evening, in the first
of a series of musical offerings by the
Tuesday Musical club.
IS Miss Macbeth was completely the
singer OF ballads. Her voice, her per-
sonality, her appearance, all fitted per-
fectly into the lighter songs that made
up the greater part of her program 1t
it unusual to find an operate star
who will devote such large proper
ton OF her numbers to simpler vocal
offerings and particularly to those in
English. In this case the numbers
were most happily chosen and met
with an enthusiastic reception and de-
mand for encores that was granted in
every case.
For brilliance, Miss Macbeth gave
DoniZetti's "Oh Luce in Quest Anima, .
and the 'Polonaise" from Mignon. The
manifold pitfalls that beset the singer
in these two selections were lightly
and surely avoided and the pure, clear,
vibrant quality of her tone showed
with all the shadings that make a
true coloratura voice. Perhaps her
best moments were in the encore,
annie Laurie" which she sang with
swift and sure appeal in all its al
ternate tenderness and gaiety.
A group of old and modern French
songs by Monsigney, Fourdrain, Mas
sanet and GODDARD were sung in
French, but the sense of each was eX-
planned by the singer. Rain" by
Curran, met with demand for a rep
etition, which was graciously given.
This appealing little piece demonstrat-
ed as well, perhaps, as any other the
perfection of the singers enunciation
and her ability to handle swiftly and
surely rapid succession of tripping
syllables. Here too, it may be said
that the operate mannerisms which
were apparent and which, in the case
of an operate singer, are inevitably
carried also to the concert stage, are
an asset rather than a drawback to
all but the most critical AS in the
case of 1.-The Night Wind" of the first
group, additional vividness is lent to
the rendering.
George Roberts, who accompanied
Miss Macbeth, GAGE an example of per-
feet accompaniment, unobtrusive, SYM
pathetic, sure. His playing lent much
to the pleasure of the hour. The re-
cital was given under the auspices
of the Marion Andrews concert bu-
reau, as will be the newt two of the Sc
ries also.
