POLES and CZECHS KEPT POOR
BY SUPPORTING LARGE ARMIES
Both Trained by French, But Neither Nation Wants
toFight and Bohemians Probably Wouldn't
Unless Forced.

( expenditure and her exchange not as
| worthless as that OF other central and
| eastern European states is that the
country is very rich in natural re-
! sources; has kept AuStriaS most pro-
ductive and best factories and has
| hard-working. thriving population.
Controlled by French.
! The Czechoslovak army is controlled
! entirely by the French. a French Of
! ficer, Gen. Mittelhauser. is its head.
| The chiefs of the general staff. of the
| military schools, of the staff college
are all French. Most OF the divi-
| sional commanders are French. SO
| until recently were even the regimen
| tai commanders. This has changed
! lately and CzechoSlovak officers are
/ at the heads of their regiments.
The French are succeeding in bring
! ing up an excellent body of young
CZechoslovak officers. and the army is
| considered one of the best in central
slovaks do not make very good SOL
diers. The regular army consists OF
10000 men--a very large number for
Il comparatively small population.
| The trained reserves are estimated AT
100000 men, perfectly organized and
available on short notice. These men
have to undergo an intensive yearly
training period and are as good as the
regular troops.
Service Is Unpopular.
Though military service is not very
popular and most of the Czechoslovaks
would like to see their country adopt
the Swiss system of militia and volun-
tear troops, the young Czechoslovak
soldiers are efficient and have good
Resistance.
In order to prevent any possibility
/ of the minorities Germans and Slo-
Naks) turning against their Czech
leaders the regiments have been or
ganized in such way that each unit
has 80 per cent CzechS and the bal
ance Slovaks and Germans.
The spirit in the army is good and
| should the country ever be attacked
the inhabitants would rise as one
man. They don't quite know whether
from the French point of view the
Czechoslovak army is as important an
are not sure whether in case of an
attack on France by Germany the
Czechoslovaks would be enthusiastic
about assisting their big ally. The
Czechoslovak army, and it would take
good deal of explaining to convince
the Bohemian soldier of the necessity
of fighting for somebody else
ccllent. Guns and rifles are of one
pattern, and the Skoda gun factory,
which used to supply the Austrian
army, is still employing $4,000 work
men, i MS factory alone can easily
supply the Czechoslovak troops with
all the armament and ammunition
they require.
The aviation is the best in central
and eastern Europe. 1t has 200 fight
ing planes and scouts, manned by
skilled pilots, all trained by the
French.
In spite of the military alliance
with France the Czechoslovaks seem
to have no aggressive intentions
But, as government official explained
to me, 1--WE have to keep a strong
army, because in case of trouble we
shall have to intervene in spite of
ourselves

of your pocket and while you may
not feel it> there is loss greater

BEWARE FOREST FIRES
Land Owners and Settlers
Should Use Undue Care in
Dry Time.

With the spring months and
sometimes dry ones, we have with
us again the forest fire evil which
has caused such toll of lives and
loss of money during the past few
years. Propaganda directed towards
the lessening of this evil has had
a trend to lessen it somewhat but
there is still the huge loss of pro-
perty which is the direct result Of
the careless.
The conservation commission
has worked up table of the dam
age caused by forest fires in nor
them Wisconsin during the past
year and by this report we find
that Lincoln county stands third
in the line of damage. This in
deed is a sad commentary to make
and one that should bring to every
resident the realization that we
have burned up not only thousands
of dollars worth of timber, ETC.,
but we have destroyed thousands
of young trees which in time
would create for us a new stand
of timber = something that we
have all too little of now.
The summary makes the follow
ing report:
1862 fires were reported as hav-
ing burned over $3.50 acres. TIA
or 800 were reported with esti-
mated losses as follows:
Damage to 24,261 acres
of timber --------S 136,478.00
Property losses to the ex-
tent of --------- 100000
Total loss reported --S207 $500
No estimates were made as to
the amount and value of repro
duction burned with losses unesti-
mated. $3.50 men fought at 418 or
7490 of the fires that burned. 144
fires or 269o were allowed to run
with no effort being made to stop
them. The cost to the towns to
fight the 388 fires above mentioned
amounted to $18,42050. At zoe
fires or $50 services were volun-
teered by the people living in the
vicinity and the towns incurred no
expense. At 218 fires or 1870 the
towns were compelled to hire fire
fighters and bills had to be paid
for their services. 1888 or 500 OF
the fires started from unknown
sources. 229 or 41% started from
known sources.

The city is reaching the lend of
the limit in cutting weeds and Civ

hausted this week, and the twelve
remaining men on the weed cutting
force will exhaust funds in this de-
partment within a few days.
Officials Of the street commits
sioner's office say transfer Of funds
may be possible to continue weed
cutting. More than 100 complaints
of weeds are on file at city hall. Or
ders have been sent out restricting
cutting to city property and weeds
along the thoroughfare.
With this situation, little can be
done for citizens complaining of
weeds and dust unless they chance
to be in the favored list at city hall
which contains names of those who
will get oil or have weeds cut.
Selection was as complaints came in.
Here is Mr.. Fixit's mail today:

is very dusty. Freeman Hughes, $50

understood! Even If they had sue
ceeded in eliminating me, the move
ment, which is fundamental, would
still have swept on.
They sought to build up in the
minds of the people the fear that the
executive was controlling the Legis-
lative branch of the Government.
They deliberately organized cam
paign of abuse and misrepresenta-
ton. Their stories were infinitely
detailed and spread about among the
hotels and on railroad trains. They
said that l had completely lost my
head They endeavored to give me
reputation for discourtesy and
browbeating; stories were told Of my
shameless treatment Of members, of
my backing them up against the
wall Of the executive office, shaking
my fist in their faces and warning
them if they did not pass our bills
l would use all my power to- crush
them.
In so far as anything was said in
disparagement of the Administration
members Of the Legislature it was
that they took their orders every
morning feom the executive office.
The newspapers began to print these
statements,
At first we took no notice OF
their campaign of misrepresentation
but it. grew and grew until it got
on the nerves Of all Of us. 1t came
to be common thing to have
friends drop In and say: Governor,
is 1t true you have had row with
-? Is it true that you ordered
out Of the executive Officer"
1t seems incredible. as l look back
upon it now. We felt that we were
fighting something in the dark all
the while; there was nothing we
could get hold OF.
In spie OF It all, however. we drove
straight ahead. After the bills pre-

pared by the tax commission were
in, the primary election bill was
drafted and redrafted and intro
duced by E. Ray Stevens Of Madison,
one Of the ablest men ever in pub
lie life in Wisconsin.
Meetings Held
The committee having it in charge
at once began a series Of open meet
ings and the lobby brought to Mad
ison people from every part of the
State to attend the hearings and to
protest.
Extended speeches were made
against it, and these were promptly
printed and sent broadcast. The
most preposterous arguments were
advanced. They argued that the
proposed law was unconstitutional
because it interfered with the right
of the people to assembled!
They tried to rouse the country
people by arguing that if favored
the cities; they said that city people
could get out more readily to pri-
maries than country people.
1t did not seem to occur to them
that practically every argument they
made against the direct primary APP
piled far more strongly to the old
caucus and convention system.
But presently it began to appear
that we might get some Of our meas
IL es through. 1t evidently made an
impression on the lobby. One night,
after the Legislature had been in
session about two months. Eman-
uel Phillip came to my office. He
moved his chair up close to mine.
Now, look here" he said. you
want to pass the primary election
bill, don't you? I will help you put
1t through"
Phillip 1 said, there is no use
in you and me trying to mislead
each other. I understand and you
understand that the Senate is organ
lied against both the direct pri-
mary and taxation bills. You know
that better than I do"
