Several of the local teachers are
planning to attend all or part of the

All the robins and bluebirds which
have been seen around here for the
last month don't mean that spring
has come, according to Nauvoo pro-
phet, who says that the martin is il
the only sure sign Of spring. Any
way, the frogs are singing and the
kids are playing "chinies" and the
girls jumping rope. Why bother about
a few martins?
There is considerable activity
promised this spring among the anna
teur gardeners Of the city, especially
among the school children, who have
been asked to enter the garden con-
test which is to be conducted here.
Available plots in the backwards have
already been staked out by the young
sters. who are going to try their hands
at intensive farming.
The cold wind which blew most
OF the day recently and made walking
disagreeable, failed to keep
people indoors, however. There were
as many autos in evidence along the
roads as there have been on some OF
the more pleasant Sundays this spring.
And the pedestrians failed to forego
their Sunday walk just for little wind
squalls.

HERMAN RIDDER, GERNIANY'S
sTAUNCH DEFENDER, "a TO-DAY

Herman Ridder, editor of the New
York Staats-Zeitung and one of the
.staunchest of the American defend
ers Of Gernany's course in the war,
will pass his sixty-fourth milestone
today. The eminent German -Ameri-
can Journalist was born in New York,
of German parents, March 5, 1851.
He had little schooling, and at
eleven became an errand boy to help
support the family At twenty he
became an insurance agent, and fol-
lowed that occupation for several
years. He entered the Journalistic
arena. in 1873, when he founded the
Katholisches Volksb1att, and few
years later he established the Cath
clio News. His connection with the
century ago, when he became treas
urer and manager. Under his direc-
ton the paper attained leading
place IN German-American Journal
ism AS an indep Democrat,
Herr Bidder has long been promi-
nent in politics. Since the beginning
of the war Mr.. Ridder has attained
international prominenc because of
his defense OF the fatherland and his
criticisms of other nations, including
his own. He has bitterly denounced
the neutrality of the United States as
'tdo1lar neutrality" and has insisted
that its terms have been dictated by
Great Britain, which, he said, mot
only rules the waves, but valves the
rules of neutrality: Herr Ridder
finds a pathological reason for the
war. eft is nothing more nor less
than an expression of the intense
nerVousn ess of the age. We are too
high strung. The nations are suffer
ing from acute neurasthenia.'' The
editor of the Stats Zeitung SCOTS at
the idea that the United States and
Germany will ever make war on each
other. He says:
zone of the worst features of the
war, as have noticed it, is the fact
that many American newspapers
have permitted themselves to speak
of Germany as the next opponent of
this country. Whatever the dreams
of empire that have been aroused in
| certain German minds, such dreams
are not the expression of the general
German sentiment. In all ages and
| in all times great ambitions come to
nations. Unbalanced patriots plunge
into print with ambitious designs
| that do not represent the strivings
| and ideals of the nation of which
they form a thoroughly unimportant
| part. Entirely too much Importance
has been ascribed to the rawlings .Jof
that retired army officer, Gen. Won
| Edelsheim, who outlines an imagin-
| airy attack on the United States. I
know we have too much sense to
i ascribe any real value to such imag-
/ inatiye rot
