LOWER IN LONDON

London, Feb. 9.-The complaint of
Charles Price in the House of Com
mons this afternoon that sugar could
be bought in New York and delivered
in London 81 $3.50 a ton cheaper than
the price charged by the Royal Com
mission. which cornered the sugar mar
ket in England at the beginning of the
war, was repudiated By Reginald Nc
Kenna. the Home Secretary.
Mr.. McKenna said that sugar at the
present price in New York could not
be sold here cheaper than at the rate
charged by the government; further
more. any purchase made in New York
would send prices up much higher.

Asquith in the House OF Commons to-
morrow in which he will demand that
Great Britain treat German raiders on

President Bids Ambassa-
dor Ask Germany to
Explain Fully.
STATUS OF NEUTRAL
SHIPS NOT CLEAR
Washington Withholds Comment
Until Berlin Tells More OF
Blockade Plans.

Washington, Feb. 9.-President VIII
son has directed Ambassador Gerard to
obtain and forward to this government
as soon as possible the full details Of
Gcrmany's intentions with regard 70
neutral shipping, particularly the ships
OF the United States. The President
took mp in Cabinet meeting to-day the
German declaration and the explana-
tons furnished by Germany.
1t was decided that. although Ger
many has expressed no intention OF
taking summary action against mer-
chant ships Of dubious nationality, at
.hc same time no information has been
forthcoming as to what methods will
be pursued by the German submarine
commanders or other naval officers to
protect neutrals while engaged in en-
forcing the war zone decree. Hence
demand has been made for the facts
in specific detail
Upon the degree of satisfaction
which Ambassador Gerard obtains as
to the safeguards which Germany will
throw around neutrals in enforcing
her declaration will depend whether or
not the United States will take further
action with regard to the terms Of the
decree itself.
The insistence Of Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary that the recent German
decree is exactly analogous to the
British warning Of October last that
the North Sea was q war area and that
neutral ships there were in danger
will not be taken up by this govern
ment pending receipt of Ambassador
Gerard's communication.
Ambassador Gerard has been in
structed to obtain a definition Of Ger
many's intentions in two particulars.
First, he will ask of Germany how she
intends to enforce her decree; and Sec
ond, he will ask what steps. if any
will be taken to avoid injury 20 neutral
vessels.
President Wilson said to-day that
Germany's first proclamation on the
subject contained many questions on
which the United States would Ike
further explanation.
The President takes the view that
the war zone proclaimed by Germany
does not constitute a blockade or even
a paper blockade. He stated that II
was simply warning.
President Wilson told callers that
up to the present no other neutral gov
ernments have officially asked the co
operation Of the United States.
Discussing the general internationa
situation, President Wilson said to-da!
that he was not surprised at the lent
Of time taken by Great Britain in for
warding its final reply to the American
note on the interference with American
shipping.

the principal front the Russian OF
fensivc have been successful. Many
Germans among the prisoners can
testify By personal observation TO the
splendid mettle Of the Russian army.
The lenience Of the present admins
tration is preferred TO the harshness
of Austrian rule. The Russians exhibit
singular moderation in their dealings
with all classes. The Governor SAID IN
an interview:
"The Russians are here TO stay. IN

occupation, hanged hundreds of people
suspected of Russian sympathies, |

Paris, Feb. 9.-The paragraph in the
German memorandum sent 10 the
United States government, stating that
Germany's naval forces have been IN
structed 20 abstain as far as possible
from damaging neutral ships, the
French press declares, did not appear
in the original text published in the
"Rcichs-AnzciPer" of Berlin.
II is considered by the papers here
that no matter what apparent restric-
lions NAV be added TO the operations
of the navy, the document constitutes
an intolerable menace to neutrals on
The part Of Germany. The opinion is
cxpressed that the Washington ad-
ministration will protest 10 Berlin.

Invade Redwood
Thirty Automobiles Bring Guests
from New Ulm Who Make
Short Stay Here

A body of Germans, thirty
cars strong, invaded Redwood
Falls Thursday, storming Fort
Kahler at about twelve o'clock
and making frightful inroads
upon the store of munitions
within that citadel.
The troops came here from
New Ulm whence they started
early Thursday morning intend
ing on a days trip through the
surrounding country. They were
accompanied by the Second Regi-
ment Band which played several
selections during the hours stay
here. The Scenic City Band al
so played in honor of the Wis

From here the motorists who
were making the trip for the
purpose of boosting" New Ulm
and to get acquainted with their
neighbors, went into Renville
and Sibley Counties. Their sched-
ule covered a hundred twenty.
five miles and they expected to
reach New Ulm about nine

No Slight Intended

Lamberton, judging from an
item in The Star of last week,
is feeling a bit sighted because
the Scenic City Band visited the
town last Wednesday evening
and failed to furnish any music
on the street. AS matter of
fact, the Band didn't visit the
town. The members of the or
ganization who took supper at
Lamberton were only a part of
the whole Band and they had no
music with them, as that had
been left in Walnut Grove with
the other players who returned
to Redwood Falls later. Under
such conditions it would have
been utterly impossible for the
boys to have played anything
which would have given any en-
joyment to an audience, other
wise they would have gladly
played while at Lamberton. The
Scenic City Band will play often
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day at the County Fair Grounds
and Lamberton citizens are cor
daily invited to come and hear
them.

Robin Adair, Come Back to Erin
and a dozen other of the old

it and is bound to be the source
of keen enjoyment to the audi
ence.

King billiard Wins

King billiard, the beautiful
stallion owned by JOS. Bianchi,
for years the pride of New Ulm
on the turf, when he was owned
by VIM. Huevelmann, is making
good the promise of those who
so long wished Mr.. Huevelmann
to enter him on some of the fast
circuits. When used on the
Mainline track at the State Fair
81 made record of 1904 and
st Thursday afternoon he took
~ ,t0nd money at the Wisconsin
State Fair at Milwaukee. The
time was practically the same
and King billiard was beat by
only very small margin, hav-
ing had the lead several times
and just losing it again as they
came under the wire. The track
at Milwaukee was very heavy
or better time might have been
recorded as was the case at Ham
line. A purse of $4,000 was put
- for the race at Milwaukee.
This week King billiard will run
at Springfield, ILL.,, and later at
Peoria and Lexington, Kty.,
which will finish his work for
the season. Edna parker, anoth-
er New Ulm horse, formerly
owned by Mr.. Bianchi, is also
making a good record this year.
