Toilette and the people of Wisconsin

War.
A review of the remarkable

the war reveals that the stories
circulated about it's citizenry We're
false, while the United Estate Senate
completely indicated Senator La

patriotism.
After war was declared Wisconsin
was the first State in the union to
report its registration returns to
Washington. They reached tire
desk Of Provost Marshall General
Crowder four hours ahead Of the re-
turns in the District OF Columbia.
This caused Crowder to send a re-
markable telegram to Governor
Phillip at Madison.
The message read, Il have come to
expect the impossible of Wisconsin. ]"
Less than a month after the first
registration day the selected men Of
Wisconsin had all been called and
examined and We're ready for orders

reported that the States percentage
Of men Of military age failing TO re-
spond to the draft was less than 2
per cent, while the average Of the
Nation was 8 per cent.
But Wisconsin youths didn't walt
to be drafted. They enlisted in such
numbers that the State ranked far
ahead Of any nelghboring State in
the percentage Of voluntary enlist
meuts.
A table prepared by the War Dc
partment on June 80, 1917 shows
that 54.5 per cent Of the enlist
