form of sniping from doorways, and the
soldiers had great difficulty In picking
out the offending snipers' posts. When
rifle shots failed to silence the random
firings by the rioters, machine guns
were fired down streets where the snip
ing was most persistent.
Major General Lessard, sent here with
the powers of a military government,
but who has not proclaimed martial law,
sought today to reach seme agreement
with the protesting element. Importa
tion ot soldiers to cope with the situa
tion has become a big element In the
situation, arousing further opposition to
the Government's operations.
in an effort at getting to the root of
the dlaordera, an attempt Is being made
today to find the leading forces behind
the demonstrations. Reports that I. W.
W, elemenTa" are responsible, and that
German money plays a part In the
agitation were probed. Officials be
lieved that lt had been' definitely estab
lished that many outsiders, Including
men from Montreal, have led many
bands of marauders.
In the face of the warning that radi
cal measures would be adopted to break
the rioting, crowda continued early In
the evening, resulting in the posting
resulting In
ot soldiers at many points and draw
ing of a line of bayonets across the
atrcots. When bricks began to fly and
there were several revolver shots from
the crowds, the cavalry was sent Into
the streets tn an attempt to disperse
the mobs.
Several soldiers fall with minor
wounds In the first serious claali near
the Canadian Pacific station. The sol
diers shot over the heads of tha crowds,
attempting accurstj aim only htn
they knew that some, particular door
way held a sniper.
Armand Lavergne, Nationalist leader,
has mado an Issue of use of outside
troops, including many fresh units that
have been sent hare in the laat twenty
four hours, but he was prevented from
holding a masa-meetlpg ot protest laat

Confinced on Tare Hvn. Column Three
WISCONSIN AT POLLS
ON "LOYALTY" ISSUE
mand election because they are for the
war or against It They are:
Joseph K Davles, Democrat, who
stands tor a single-purposed prosecu
tion ot the war and unqualified Indorse
ment of the Wilson Administration.
Irving U I.enroot, Republican, whose
war stand Is .Identical with Davles,
Victor I Berger, Socialist, who Is
"100 per cent for peace," and who has
declared that, If elected, he will work
for Immediate recall of American troops
In France.
Behind Berger Is said to stand the
combined strength of all elements In the
State opposed to the war. The Issue
between him and the other two candt
dales Is sharply drawn,
In a final ante-election editorial In
his newspaper, the Milwaukee Leader,
ho etated:
"The Usu. la clear lir.Trn or hell,
peace or war, Hoci.lUU or profiteers."
The uncertainty that the "loyalty'
vote will be divided between Lenrooi
and Davles waa causing considerable
perturbation tn both camps today. So
confident have been the leaders that
Berger did not atand a chance of elec
tion that they have devoted the flnai
days of the' campaign to peppery par
tisan skirmishing among themselves.
There was a feeling that possibly
Berger's strength had been underesti
mated and that tha division between
Davles and Lenroot would give him a
chance to win.
The election today Is the climax ot
the bitterest campaign In Wisconsin's
h!st6ry. The candidates were nominated
at al primary election two weeks ago,
Lenroot was made the Republican
candidate by hla victory at the prima
ries over Jamas Thompaon, personal
candidate ot Senator Robert M, LaFoi
lette. and who la auppoaed to have had
thedsi

that waa in accord With LaFoi-
leftt'a war views.
Davlea won the Democratic nomina
tion over Charlea McCarthy tn a friendly
contatt. Bargar was unopposed on tha
Socialist ticket.
