MAY CHANGE TIME

For several weeks Holly parties
have been in correspondence with
Santa Fe officials regarding a
change of time on the A. V.
branch, the request being that
The train leaves this town at Z a.
IN. instead of 6 a. m.. thus allow
ing the milk shippers more time
to get their product to town and
shipped.
Warm weather will soon make
it necessity that milk he
shipped every day, and it should
be shipped in the morning. 1t
will be impossible to hold the
milk shortly. hence the request
should be granted as soon as
possible.
The Chieftain can see no rea-
son why the request of our citi-
zens should not be granted. This
change will not interfere in any
manner with the main line
schedule and will allow plenty of
time for the train to make the
return trip on the same time card
.as heretofore.
We are entitled to this consid-
GRAFTON from the Santa Fe, and
our mutual interests demand that
same be granted.

1926 POUNDS MILK

The Lamar Daily News of Tues
day, March %, says: Eighteen
thousand eight hundred and
twenty-six pounds of milk, the
highest figure yet made by the
Helvetia condensary. was receiv-
ed Monday, March %. The next
highest days receipts was on
Saturday, March 81, when II, DAB
pounds were received. With the
high figure set yesterday it is
evident that the average daily re-
ceipts for this week will go con-
siderably higher than any attain
ed so far.
Within a short time should the
present increase continue, Lamar
dairymen will be drawing big pay
checks monthly. The more the
merrier for the farmer and the
business men.

MISS WIEGAND UNABLE TO RE-
TURN.

Miss Frieda Wiegand, one of last
years teachers who went to Germany
for her summer vacation was expected
to arrive here this week to take up her
work but instead a message was received
from her stating that she was unable to
sail as she planned and rendering her
resignation. She stated that she and
her mother had been advised not to
attempt to make the journey home now
and as it would be impossible for her to
state definitely when she would start
she thought best to resign now so that'a
new teacher could be secured as Miss
Antonio Zieher who has been filling Miss
Wiegand's place for her during her
absence desires to be released as soon as
possible. The letter was written on the
10Th Of September and therefore made a
reasonably quick trip considering the
conditions prevailing. Miss Wiegand
has made numerous friends here who are
sorry to learn that she will not be back
and who will look with interest for. news
of her safe return home. ,I lJ n

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Some of our citizens were Mortified onr
day last week to see a farmer bringing
several head OF cattle to town, probably
to the butcher, and one of them was tied
so short that as the animal walked along
the hind wheel of the wagon constantly
passed over one of its feet which was
manned and bleeding. The poor creature
was suffering greatly from it so that it
could scarcely move along. We have
not heard that any one protested but
certainly any one witnessing such
sight should feel it a duty to see that
such cruelty to dumb animals is quickly
ended. There are rssaslations governing
the treatment Of al sals and any one,
man or woman, has right to appeal to
them # the offender will not listen to
reason.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-10-14

He stated emphatically that the treat
ment that the foreigners received at the
hands of the Germans was all that could
be desired and that the officials of Ger
many were uniformly courteous to all
visitors, especially to Americans. The
people on the whole are patriotic and
loyal and feel that they are fighting for a
just cause.
At the time the Doctor was in Berlin
it was reported that there were over
100000 prisoners in Germany, 100000
being Russians and the balance were
French, British and Belgians. In this
connection the Doctor tells story which
he knows to be authentic. Shortly after
some Russian prisoners were brought to
the prison camp near Halle lot of straw
was brought to the place to be used
for bedding. As soon as the straw was
brought into the prison sheds the prisoner
became frantic, screaming and wailing
horribly. Thru an interpreter it was
learned that the Russians were afraid
that they were to be burned alive and
admitted the reason they feared so was
because some German prisoners had been
wrapped in straw by the Russians and
burned alive.
German authorities, the Mayor says,
are very reticint about publishing war
news and giving out the movement of
troops and for that reason most of the
people do not know where their relatives
are fighting. In writing to them they
simply put the name of the soldier and
the Company and Regiment he is with
on the envelope and the military authori-
ties see to it that it is forwarded. When
speaking about letters the Doctor said
that for Sc days he had been without
word from home. 'sYou can just about
imagine how nervous a person gets to
feel about that time and, how anxious
he becomes to start for home,'' he said.
In this connection he said that he is
quite confident that the British captured
quite little mail destined for Germany
and simply dumped it In the English
Channel. While in Germany he visited
Berlin, Leipzig, Frankfurt on the Oder
and some smaller places where he had
relatives. While at Frankfurt he visited
at the St. Marien Hospital and saw a
great number Of wounded soldiers and
spoke to about rs of them. The most of
them were only slightly wounded. The
majority he noticed, We're wounded on
the left arm and in the legs. Without
exception they were waiting for the day TO

SCHOOL BUILDING WORK PRO-
CROSSES RAPIDLY.

Supt. Hess states that the work on
the new schoolhouse is progressing very
nicely and that it looks now as tho it
would be possible to get the pupils into
it shortly after the first of the year.
This will be ahead of the time set by the
contractors which was March 18th and
if it can be done will be relief to the
pupils and teachers who at present are
much too crowded, especially at the
Washington School. The equipment for
the laboratories has been purchased
recently and the Board will be very busy
from now on getting the furnishings and
fittings lined up to be in readiness when
the building is delivered by the con-
tractors.

ANOTHER BOOSTER TOUR.

Herman Held who was recently in
Mankato brought word that the Blue
Earth County Boosters were intending
to make an auto tour thru New Ulm to
Tracy and inspect the Good Roads
work along the way. Mr.. Held received
further notice Monday of this week that
the trip had been postponed to next
Tuesday, the Goth, and that then the
Blue Earth people would be glad to
have any New Ulm autoists who could
do so join them on the tour. Nothing
definite has been done here in the matter
as yet.

invitation of the Junior Pioneers and
attended the banquet at Turner Hall

memmorate the 9Th anniversary of the
arrival of the first settlers who founded
New Uln.r The old folks assembled
in the lounging room of Turner Hall
shortly after four o'clock and spent an
hour or more in social converse talking
about old times and greeting people that
they had not seen for months or years.
The guests were received by COM
mittee consisting of Mrs. Ida Bobleter,
Mrs. James Dougher, Mrs. L. B. Krook,
Mrs. L. G.. Bell, Mrs. L. G. Vogel,
Miss Tillie Heymann, Miss Ida Hers
and Miss Lulu Doehne. Between five
and six o'clock, the pioneers and Junior
Pioneers went into the auditorium where
they were given an opportunity to see
some motion pictures. It was the in
tention of the committee to give the
old folks scenes from Germany or some
war pictures and they had given such
orders, but apparently these could not
be obtained and comedy sketch finally
was secured.
The banquet was served in the gym
of Turner Hall by the Ladies of the New
Ulm Turnverein. It was delicious
repast and well served. The menu con-
sisted Of baked ham, potato salad,
sliced tomatoes, veal loaf with tomato
sauce, mashed potatoes, coffee, rolls,
cake and ice cream. rhe banquet hall

THIS WEEK
MACHINERY ALL IN PLACE.
WILL START WITH FIF-
TEEN EMPLOYEES

eve will start work on October 18th
with Is employees, men, boys, and girls.
and in months we expect to increase
the number of the employees of the
Novelty Electrical Company to 40'' was
the information offered by Carl Jaeger
when asked by Review reporter yester-
day about how soon the company
expected to commence the manufacture
of batteries. For the past ten days a
force of men has been kept busy installing
the machinery in the former Star Hall
and everything is practically in readiness
to start things going.
In addition to the Star Hall the com
pany has leased portion of the space
below the stage Of the Opera House and
has inclosed it. In this space two
mixers have been installed and CON
siderable of the mixing work will be done
there. 1t will also afford the necessary
storage room. Without this additional
space the daily output would have been
limited to 1000 batteries per day. but
now it is confidently hoped to bring It
up to 5000 per day.
The place already looks businesslike.
There is large Office desk there and alse
a safe to store the companys books and
wealth. The machinery is run by "a 8
horse power electric motor. Most of the
machines are lined up against the south
west side of the building and can be put
into operation by the one motor. There
is also motor of the same capacity under
the stage which furnishes the power to
turn the two mixers.
The first machine to attract attention
is the zinc cutting machine. This is
used for cutting the zinc the required
width for the cylinders for the batteries
This is to be used, however, only in case
OF emergency as the company expects
to purchase all the zinc already cut from
a factory in Minneapolis. There is also
turning lathe which is to be used for
repairing the machinery of the plant and
and is not used in the actual manufacture.

good also of the drill press which is used
for boring holes thru iron and is to be
used mainly for keeping the machinery
OF the plant in repair.
After the zinc has been cut to the
desired width it is passed along to the
soldering table in the rear of the building.
Here are three large size soldering
cylinders for the 6, and 8 size batteries
and large iron which has four smaller
soldering cylinders attached. There are
three stamping machines to cut the
different size bottoms for the three sizes
OF batteries. Then there is the crimpinq
machine which crimps the bottom ON tn.
cylinder and does it in very artistic
way. There is also grinding ana
polishing machine to polish the novelties.
The machine for polishing the larger
batteries has not arrived but will be herr
soon.
The plant is supplied with two mixer.
IN the building, one for mixing electrolits
and the other is the acid mixer used for
mixing magnesia and graphite. The
paper and zinc bottoms used for insul-
ton purposes are made with dies and

The amount short billed as computed
by the accountants and by other ac-
countants employed by the city council
is $1,426.74, a detailed statement of
which is on file in the city clerks office.
It is apparent from an examination of
this matter that the error in billing out
these accounts is due to carelessness and
not to any intention on Mr.. Meyers
part to favor anyone or to defraud the
city. Inasmuch, however, as the city
has lost the above mentioned sum by
reason Of his carelessness, your committee
is of the opinion that Mr.. Meyer should
be required to undertake the collection
of the amounts short-billed by him, and
if not collectible, that he should be
charged up with any deficiency.
Seventh discrepancy This discrep-
ancy is in connection with bill of Franz
Niemann, dated May 4, 1912. The bill
is for SIPS. Through an error the
amount payable was entered on the back
of the bill as $31.25 and the city's order
drawn for that amount. The over
payment of this bill was doubtless due to
an error, but as Mr.. Meyer was re-
sponsible for the over-payment, we are
of opinion that he should be required to
refund the, amount overpaid and that
he should be charged with $14.OO on this
matter.

Diplomatic Relations Broken.

London, Nov. 4.-Turkey has def
initely broken off diplomatic rela-
tions with Great Britain, Russia and
Servia. Her diplomatic representa-
tives in the capitals of these coun-
tries, acting on orders from the
porte, yesterday demanded and re-
ceived their passports. Some of them
already have left their posts, while
the Others will depart today. 1t is
understood that Turkeys apology for
the actions of her fleet in lombard
ing Russian Black sea ports and
Russian ships proved unacceptable
to the powers of the triple entente,
in that Turkey was not prepared
to accede to the demand that the
German officers in her service be
dismissed and the ships purchased
from Germany dismantled.

U. S. Troops to Scene.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Secretary
Garrison today ordered four com
panies of the Fifth United States
cavalry from Fort Sheridan, H., to
Fort Smith, Ark, to maintain order
in the Hartford Valley coal strike
district. Major Nathanial +. Nc
Clure, who has been with the troops
in the Colorado mine fields, will com
mand the force.
Secretary Garrison explained the
order as follows:
I've have reached the conclusion
that it is impracticable to enforce
the law and the orders of the Uni
ted States court in Arkansas by any
other means. The court had appoint
ed receiver for the coal mines;
the mines had been blown up, and
the men who had been arrested
charged with the crime had been
released from the custody of the Uni
ted States marshal forcibly by their
friends. The United States court
has been unable to enforce its pro-
cesses.
The troops will not undertake
to serve any processes; they will
confne themselves to making it pos
sible for the civil officers to per
form their functions. They will pre-
vent any obstruction in the course
of justice so that the ordinary pro-
cesses of the court can go on. This
is a matter that concerns the federal
court alone; the state of Arkansas
has nothing to do with it,"
Major Mcclure was selected by
Secretary Garrison to command the
troops because of the manner in
which he discharged his very delicate
duties in connection with the pro
tracted mine strike in Colorado.
1t was expected the troops would
leave Chicago tonight and be at Fort
Smith tomorrow night. About go
men will be in the command

Paris, Nov. 5.-Reports that the
Germans have been able to cut off

that the allied artillery has caused
