VOTING LIGHT AT ELECTION.

Interest in the local special election
for the voting OF $4,000 issue of four
per cent bonds to defray the city ex-
penses seemed very much lacking at
one o'clock Tuesday. At, that time
only about ten per cent of the usual
city election votes had been cast.
When the Review went to press, it
was impossible to get any line on the
outcome of the election but it seemed
TO be the opinion that there was no
question of the bond issue passing.

TWO COLLISIONS IN THE SAME
PLACE UNDER SAME CON-
DITIONS.
FALLING SCAFFOLD INJURIES
TWO OF FIVE MEN WORKING
ON BUILDING.

day in New Ulm and vicinity last
Saturday. Two smashes between an
auto and a bicycle occurred one of them
Of a serious nature in which Henry
Schiemann was badly injured, the other
in which all parties were more frightened
than hurt. The falling of scaffold
on the Robert Lieder farm in Courtland
precipitated five men to the ground
and injured two of them, Albert Lieder
sustaining badly sprained back and
Herman I4ieder fractured ankle.
A rather serious accident occurred on
Minnesota Street Saturday afternoon
when Henry Schiemann riding a wheel
collided with an automobile driven by
]. F. Loose, Of Morgan. The accident
occurred at about one o'clock just in
front of the Columbia Clothing Co.'S
store.
The injured man was at once given
medical treatment and upon examination
it was found that he had suffered a
slight concussion of the brain and a
ruptured ear drum besides other minor
injuries and scratches.
The accident was one of those uI2-
fortunate affairs for which no one seems
to be to blame. According to the story
of Mr.. Loose, the driver of the car, and
several of the bystande-s, he was driving
along slowly on the right side of the
street. Schiemann was riding in the
opposite direction on the same side Of the
street and did not observe the car
approaching. Loose attempted to turn
out and the cyclist also attempted to
avoid the collision hut became confused
and steered into the fender of. the car
and was thrown violently to the pave
ment
Later in the same afternoon another
near-accident occurred in exactly the
same place and under almost the same
conditions. Between five and six o. clock,
Anthony Schnitz was driving past the
building site when a young boy, riding
bicycle and carrying a pail of paint,
who was not paying as much attention
to his surroundings as he might have
been, turned in a wide circle and
bumped into the rear of Mr.. Schmitz'
car. He was spilled from the wheel but
uninjured and after listening to a lecture
on paying attention to where he was
going, rode off. The Schmitz car was
travelling at only about four miles and
this doubtless saved the youngster from
a much harder bump.
Another serious mishap occurred at the
Robert Lieder farm in Courtland. Mr..
Lieder, his three sons and the hired man,
were shingling the granary roof when
the scafolding gave way and all five
were thrown to the ground. Albert
Lieder sustained a badly wrenched and
sprained back and Herman Lieder
suffered fractured ankle. The other
three men escaped with bad shake-up.
The scaffold was built of heavy elm
planks and had stood the weight of the
men all the forenoon but gave way
without warning in the afternoon. At
last report the injured men we're getting
along nicely.

The Spider and the Fly

British newspapers arriving here strongly advocate
the sending of invitation the Japanese to enter
Europe and take part the Balkan campaign on the
side of the allies. It is suggested that the Japanese
can send 100000 into Turkish provinces and the
Balkans and turn the scale of the war
Perhaps they might. The truth is Great Britain is
afraid to call upon her ally. Even last resort to
the allies from defeat it is doubtful if the
Japanese would be welcome IN Europe western Asia
Britain especially, and all her allies well recognize that
Japan is playing the silent hand in this Japan
helping Russia with munitions in return for the
cesson Of the long coveted island Of Sakhan-and
doubtless other concessions yet known the pub

Britain and the others that If Japan were in

the allies the price demanded would be huge It would
be hurt to imperial PRIDE perhaps even than

Japan would ask would be free hand in China-prac-

Ell Paso AS a Recreation Center

Everybody has noticed the large crowds in the
streets of FL Paso Of Iate-large crowds all

special attraction town. Any afternoon, If
you are interested in studying local conditions, Just
walk around the streets where the business houses
thckest, 60 into the stores, hotels moving picture
houses, ice parlors and restaurants, and you
may be surprised at the evidence Of hustle and Of
large and active population.

Reasonable Preparedness

One wonders why some of the churches are taking
such strong stand against national preparedness for
defence against unprovoked assault In religious affairs
they preach preparedness all the time Most of the
sermon texts ring the changes on preparedness The
general attitude of the churches toward death and the
next world IS that Of urging preparedness They assume
the worst will happen, if do not take steps to pre-
pare against the worst happening They urge us to
put houses IN Order look to the future to throw
off the scales of blindness
The churches do not think that preparedness
Ior death causes death They do not seem to think
that reflection upon the need of repentance nctes US
to sin. Why should they think that reasonable pro
vision for the self defence of nation and for the
cury CT its future, would this people race
Of raiders, pirates and fiendS?
UnpreparedneSs has never caused US, or any other
nation to stay the hand. War sometimes comes quite
as a surprise, unwelcome. It sometimes is entered
upon through impulse, without elaboration Sometimes
1t Is chosen calmly and after the fullest consideration
the better way. But never is the heart of the
by any thought Of whether ready not. The
United States would declare war against all Europe
today II felt that vital interest assaed
and would face with equanmity the possibility of being
outnumbered ten to and attacked by force so
times superior TO anything could hurIedly
against it
Preparedness" really narrows down to this First,
sufficient training for the great body Of human ma
teTial that it would be into absolutely
rav-its worst enemy; second training of enough
officers that any large army that might be necessary
would be sent to its shameful unnecessary and in
glorious death under incompetent leaders, third that
enough material be accumulated and stored that
large army could be Immediately armed, equipped,
and supplied in case Of need.
The Herald fails to in program of preparedness
any temptation to wrongful Of power Other factors
in human nature determine that.

GOD morning. Nurse Jane
= Fuzzy Wuzzy," spoke Uncle
- Wiggily LOngears. the rabbit
gentleman. as he came down stairs in
his hollow stump bungalow one morn
ing and sat down 10 breakfast
Good morning, Uncle Wiggily," re-
Dlied the muskrat lady hOusekeeper pO-
litely as she poured out the corn-coffee
which the old rabbit gentleman always
drank

What day. Why, isn't 1t tuesday,
asked the rabbit uncle
Its my birthday" said the muskrat
lady, sort Of blushing sky blue pink
around her ears
Really Why, how stupid Of me to
forget" cried Mr.. LOngears. of course,
I should have remembered An. ha-
Yes, UNI UNI Let US see, now and
he began TO think so hard that he ate
10 pancakes almost before he knew it
Then Uncle Wiggily put on his warm
fur overcoat, his tall silk hat and
glasses, and, taking his red, white and
blue striped rheumatism crutch, which
Nurse Jane had gnawed for him out Of
a cOrnstalk- away he went
Where are you goingy' asked the
muskrat lady
oh lust for a walk" answered Uncle
Wiggily. He did not care to tell Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy just where he was going
as he wanted il as a surprise for her.
But I'll tell you Uncle Wiggily was
going TO buy Nurse Jane a birthday
present

her" said the rabbit gentleman to him
self as he hoped along. a rubber
plant She has been wanting one for
the parlor these many days and now
she shall have it i am glad ! remem-
bered about il for her birthday"
As uncle went along toward the flor
it's greenhouse he wondered how the
rubber plant came TO have such a funny
name
is it because they use the leaves to
rub out wrong pencil marks, as the
animal children do with their rubber
erasers in the hollow stump schOol?'
asked Uncle Wiggily.
I think not" the florist replied, as
he wrapped up the plant in heavy
paper, so IL would not freeze when
Uncle Wiggily carried il home TO Nurse
Jane. 4 think they call il a rubber
plant because its leaves are just like
rubber, and they don't mind water
bit In fact. water runs off the leaves
OF a rubber plant as it runs off the
back Of Lulu. Alice or Jimmie Wibble-
WObble the duck children"
Indeed. that is nice thing to
know" said Uncle Wiggily- "A rubber
plant doesn't mind water"
Then the old gentleman rabbit took
the wrapped-up rubber plant under his
paw and back he started for the hol-
low stump bungalow Pretty soon I'm

So Johnnie spoke his piece. It went

animal children had a chance 10 tell
why il was that rain drops never were
hurt when they fell from the sky, all
Of a sudden the lady mouse teacher
looked from the window. and cried
~Oh. dear! It's raining now
And so il was A hard. hard shower
was coming down
It's time for school TO be out, too"
went on the lady mouse teacher. Did
any OF you children bring your rub

None of them had. for it had not

~Oh. dear" cried the lady mouse. Il
don't know what 10 do. i can't keep the
children here all day. and vet If I let
them 20 out in the rain. without any
rubbers. they'll get wet feet. and take

Hush Don't VERY a bit-' said
Uncle Wiggily with a jolly laugh I
can fix il so they won't get wet feet no
matter how hard it rains"
How asked the lady mouse teacher
iii make each OF the animal chill
dren a pair Of rubbers with leaves from
the rubber plant which I bought for
Nurse James birthday" spoke the rab-
bit gentleman. Il can get her another
plant when it stops raining. Just a
minute now"
Then the bunny uncle pulled the
thick. green leaves from the rubber
plant He and the mouse teacher tied
the leaves on the feet Of the animal
children, and then boys and girls could
20 out in the rain and not get a bit
wet. except their heads and bodies But
that didn't so much matter. Through
the rain. with the rubber leaves on their
feet ran the animal children. Then I'm
Gle Wiggily made the lady mouse
teacher a pair Of leaf rubbers that the
water wouldn't wet and also a pair for
