Willmar Will Soon Have Four City
. Carriers. Districts Changed.

WiIImar Will Soon Have Four City
Carriers. District. Changed.
On account of the large amount of
mail handled by the local postohace,
the Government has found it neces-
sary to add one more city carrier to
the postoff1ce force. The districts
have been changed to meet the new
arrangement. Otto Trulson has been
appointed as the new carrier. His
territory will be the district east of
First Street including Sperry's addi-
.tion. Edward johnson will have the
district south Of Becker Avenue and
as.sfar east ass First Street. Sigurd
Berfness WIN have the business sec:
tion north Of Becker and East as tar
as First Street and everything west
between Becker and Litchfield. Son.
erville will have First Ward and
everything north Of Litchfleld Avenue
between Sixth and Tenth Streets.
The change took effect today, April
1. For some time past the amount OF
mail has been too large for the three
carriers, and with one more carrier
to assist, the work will not be so
strenuous. Herbert A. Hoglund is
now the first substitute.

GERMAN ADMIRAL
TAKES DEWEY TO
TASK FOR WRITINGS
tContinued from P.s. one,


much of Admiral Dewey as he would
have wished.
The foundation of the trouble was LAID
with the arrival of the first German
cruiser, the Irene 1t was reported In
Manila that the Irenes band played the
Spanish anthem when passing the Amer
lean squadron. AS a matter of fact, said
the admiral, the band played the AmCr-
lean anthem. but the erroneous version
reached the American sailors and ex-
cited i'll feeling.
The concentration of the German
squadron in Manila bay, te which Admi-
raj Dewey objects, was due, according
to Admiral Won Diederichs. to a purely
fortutious chain of circumstances. He
believed German interests at Manila
would be adequately protected by the
small cruisers, Irene and Cormoran. and
planned to concentrate the balance of his
SQUADRON at Tsing-Tao
Mildly, but decidedly, Admiral Won
DiederIchs declared the account of the
Incidents as related in .he autobiog-
raphy. contains many errors. which ne
attributed probably to defective men,
ory or to msnformation obtained from
subordinates. He expressed regret that
the Manila affair had been ranked out
of oblivion, hoping that the misunder-
standings had been smoothed over. He
and Admiral Dewey were friends and had
exchanged visits, letters and gifts.
