Free newspaper publicity is being
depended upon to insure the financial
success of the Baraboo concerns

worth July /. This fact is realized
and appreciated by the county's sew
en- newspapers, and undoubtedly "by
them alone" At a conservative es-
innate each paper has donated at
least $50 in cold, hard-to-get cash
for it is nothing else but toward
this enterprise. We make this out
burst in the nature of a sacrifice
HIT" in hopes that those sponsoring
the circus will hereafter feel as ready
and willing to give our county con-
temporaries. boost in praise and pat
ronage as they have been eager and
insistent in having the papers fea-
ture this free advertising. It's a
good cause, of course. And it takes
good money to support the papers
which support good causes.

 Attack Is Published

PARIS, March S.-The document approved by President Wilson and the French premier, NJ. Clemenceau. in the absence of the British prime minister, Mir. Lloyd George, on April 20, 1919, at the peace negotiations and referred to by Mir. Lloyd George in recent alleged interview as q secret treaty" is one of the features of the French yellow book" issued today.
 The document as published is not signed; it comprises text which is virtually identical with tkat which was finally approved and inserted in the Versailles Treaty, with the exception of the important second part of paragraph 8, article 429.
 The omitted paragraph is the one providing for delay in, the evacuation of German territory, if, after 15 years occupation, the guarantees against un- provoked aggression are not considered sufficient.
 The, yellow book shows Nhat the docy lent was submitted to be 'big fof two days later. Mr. Lloyd g te being present, but premier d ado, the Italian representative De- N yabsent The manner in which the .Hcument is presented and the explana1 lions concerning it are evidently in tended to explode the theory that it vas a secret document.

 Attorney General Daugherty also was a guest at the dinner, and in an address made reference to the move to compel his retirement from the cab inet.

Tt isn't much when you live the span of life men ought to live; but to give up your honor is another question:" the attor- ney general declared. "When l came here as attorney general, having more to do than any other enforcing officer in the cabinet with the enforcement of the law, answered all the questions of all the correspondents all the time, as you remember. Practically all inquiries made of the attorney general pertained to crime. Now recently I have refused to have anything to say for the reason that have discovered with great accu- racy that have been charged with all the crimes ever committed, and I am inclined not to be quite so communica- tive"
