Do Not Want
 Ships Named
 For Generals

Berlin, April 13.-Workmen en- gagged in construction of ships in several German seaports have peti- toned the German government to abandon the policy of naming new ships after famous generals in tHe war or men who won renown for mill itary service before the war The petition says the principles of democ- racy are undermined, by such ''gIori- ncation of military characters'' and that such procedure ill-becomes the servants of the new republic. The unions have threatened to quit work unless the practice ceases.
 It was this feeling which caused workmen recently to stop the launch ing of the 12,0O0-ton ship '"Tirpitz, D named after the German admiral. Protest also was made against the launching of the "Lud end orff'' and the "Hindenburg," although the for mer Field Marshal von Hindenburg still enjoys some popularity with the union workmen employed in the sea trades.
 The dock workers and shipyard workers unions generally are bitterly anti-miHtarist and take advantage of every opportunity to demonstrate te their allegiance to the principles of democratic government. They have frequently delayed ship building op- erations or stopped them altogether by strikes involving political ques- tionS"
 Former sailors of the German navy and some former officers have been supporting the unions in their anti militarist position.

Weather reports eliminated, there $ no doubt now that spring is here for a ''fare-the-well." The first of he annual crop of gypsy bans has shown up on the Avon Park reserva- ion, Stratford avenue, .Stratford. But times have changed There is no fol- lowing of half-starved, multi-colored horses. This aggregation travels by motor truck. This way they can make a safer get away in case a little iewelry gets stuck to some of the for tune tellers' fingers. Nut who knows. Maybet they will trade a blonde Ford without any rear wheels for a bru- nette Chevrolet without any chassis. At any rate they are here, and the gardens can be started with perfect safety.

Old Wausau Residents Found
Registered in Hotel Book of 1884

she has frequently desired to visit
France.
Mrs. Kollock says that in the old
days the hotel patronage was very
good and it almost seems impossible
to think that so many people regis
tered at hotel in a day. This the
register indicates as frequently the
number of guests at the hotel in day
numbered fifteen to twenty and oc-
casionally more
Mr.. kollock came to Merrill fifty
five years ago and for nine months ou-
Grated the Jenny Hotel which stood on
the site which is now occupied by the
Rowland hardware store. The Eagle
hotel stood at the east end of this
Dlock on the site where the Knauss
building now stands. Then Mr. Kol-
lock went to Plymouth, Wis. From
the latter place, he returned to Mer-
rlll, residing in a home east of the
hex building on First street Then
Mr.. kollock went to Wausau where
he operated the Marathon House for
Mr.. Mclndoe. The Wausau people
wanted him to build a hotel on the
site now occupied by the McCrossen
block. at the northeast corner of
Third and Scott streets. The Bells
FAMILY was conducting a restaurant
at the time and later built the Bells
MOTEL on the southwest corner of Third
and Scott streets. Mrs Kollock de-
sired to live in Merrill and was ad-
verse to entering stock company
which would have been necessary to
build large hotel as planned by the
Wausau people. Had Mrs, Kollock
however, conceded to the deal. the
Bells hotel would probably have
never been built.
On Mr.. and Mrs. Kollock's arrival
in Merrill, they rented the Posey
House for five years and Mrs. Koi-
lock suggested to Mr.. Kollock to call
1t The Lincoln" 1t was at this
time that the hotel register which was
found recently was put to use. These
were boom days and there were so
many guests at the Lincoln that II
was necessary often to place as MANY
as SIN cots in the parlor and some
times more. Jack Gumaer. the pro-
mlnent river man who will be re-
called by all old settlers, used to call
the Lincoln House in those days "the
ram pasture" because of this crowded
condition.
Later the Kollocks left the Lincoln
and remodeled the building now oc-
cupied by the Kamke hardware and
there they operated the kollock house.
Some years later, the Kollocks and
others conceived the idea OF building
much more modern hotel on what
is now the county Jail site The foun-
dation Of this hotel was nearing COM
pletion when the Milwaukee road
changed its depot from the east end
OF the city to the present location.
This caused the abandoning of the
hotel plans as it was realized that
the hotel business would be drawn
down to the Lincoln. AS relic of
these early hotel days and furnishing
recollections to the pioneers Of the
earlier days, the Lincoln House re-
gister is deemed of considerable i'm
portance and Gottlieb Schroeder has
conceived the idea of turning it over
to 7. b. Scott Free Public library as
public memento.

(From Merrill Herald

An old hotel register dated 1884,
was found recently in the old Kluetz
barn behind the Bordley cigar factory
on Main street. The register be-
longed to the Lincoln House when the
latter was owned and conducted by G.
w. Kollock. The register is parti-
cularly interesting in view of the
many names of pioneer residents ap-
pearing on its pages. w. c. Silver
thorn was the first guest to place his
name on the register. Mr.. Silver
thorn was guest for dinner on Feb

! Third street, when asked relative to
the authenticity of these three regis
ter signatures said that she could not
remember Mark Twain's presence at
the hotel. She however recalled the
presence at the hotel of noted singer
whose name she could not remember
who sang at the pavilion located at
the. rear of the present Livingston
store block. After the concert. the
singer asked Mrs. KoIlock if she had
attended the concert and seemed very
much disappointed when Mrs Kollock

so. The singer replied that she, Mrs.
