OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT.
New Ulm High School has basket.
ball team we can we'll be proud t;of
They put up splendid fight, in, the
contest with Mountain Lake. Each one
of the team played hard, clean game
Each showed craftsmanship and fight
ing spirit turnout something to be
valued above mere victory. We can
boast of all this,but can we boast of a
loyal and enthusiastic student body,
supporting the team? Out of the one
hundred and sixty three students not
even the majority were present. But
those that were there were brimful of
enthusiasm. Their roofing was the
best we've had for several years.
But why can't the rest of the school
be enthused with such a school spirit?
It is not misplaced enthusiasm. 1t does
not find expression in the assertion
that "Our team is superior to every
other team There are great many
things which make for school spirit;
the conviction that the school is given
us by an unselfsh community; the con-
viction that this community takes an
interest in the student body; the convic-
ton that every student is alive to the
opportunities before him; the conviction
that our team is doing it's best and is
playing square" game for the games
sake, leaving the winning to itself and
the conviction that back of the team
stands loyal, enthusiastic and interested
student body. Such spirit was foster
ed by those at the game. It is up to the
school to make that grow into 'real'
school spirit. Show the team that you
stand back of them. Let us be at the
game next Friday evening one hundred
fifty strong. Let the side lines be filled
to overlooking with New Ulm citizens
and Students. Let our presence be an
inspiration and encouragement to the
team. Boost! Be at the game! Root! /.
Debates Prove Interesting.
In debate in English w, one of the
speakers, speaking on the mail order
house question, said that ''it costs a
man $215 with a 80 #. 'front.'" Up to
this time we have been unable to find
out whether that was for suit of clothes
or for the buttons on his vest.
In the same debate, but on the oppos-
ing side, one of the speakers said that
1T is cheaper to buy goods from the mail
order houses because it can be brought
to the farmers doors by our R. F. D.
system" Very we'll, but just the same
it put us to wondering about bob-sleds,
binders and other more bulky packages,
and if they could be put into little red
packages and showed into the mail box
before the farmers door.
This shows that these debates are in
teresting because the intelligence is
so evenly distributed.

Senior Girls Win From Juniors.
In game which was so closely con-
tested that the outcome was never GER
tain, the Senior girls basketball team won
from the Juniors by II to Is score
In spite of the fact that the girls have
had only few days to practise, and some
OF them have never handled basketball
before this year, both teams played in
a manner which would do credit to many
a veteran team. Their team work was
of course little ragged, and the players
showed an unfortunate tendency to
bunch together, but taking all circum-
stances into consideration the girls
played remarkably we'll. The basket
shooting was especially good. The Sc
nior forwards, Rosebud Engel and Genev-
ieve Vedder, seldom missed try at
the wicker. Out of ten chances from
free throws, eight found the ring. Rose
bud Engel scored three points in this
way, and Lucille Buschers five.
The first half gave the Seniors lead
OF four points, due largely to Rosebud's
accurate basket shooting. Oleta Me
mann scored twice for the Juniors, and
Lucille added three more points from free
throws. In the second half the ball
was kept out of the hands Of the Senior
forwards by close guarding, giving the
Juniors frequent tries at the ring.
A "Triple-Header" on Friday.
The st. Peter quint will try conclu-
sions with the High School boys at the
high school gymnasium here next Fri
day night. As the St. Peter players
cannot get here until about $40 two pre-
liminary games will be part of the regu-
lar schedule of interclass games, which
will determine the championship of
the school. The Senior team walked
away with the honors last Friday night,
and this coming Friday the Freshmen
Sophomore teams will clash. The first
year men seem to have the advantage
in weight this year, but the Sophomores,
though small, have the speed and pep.
A lively game is sure to result.
Little is known of the strength of the
st. Peter team, as New Ulm has not
played them for quite few years They
have built up for themselves good re-
putation among the other schools in
this part of the country, and like the
Mountain Lake team they are playing
veterans with plenty of experience.
Our Motto: To avoid criticism, say
nothing, do nothing, be nothing!

MANKATO BECOMING "IMPERIA.
LISTIC."

Mankato has ambition to become a
metropolitan city and since it's natural
growth doesn't warrant such distinc-
ton it proposes to take the prospecting
village of North Mankato, in Nicollet
county, and annex it bodily to it's own
territory. That would help some, Of
course, but since it takes two to make a
bargain it will not be so easy to give the
proposed scheme force and effect.
North Mankato is a thriving town
under present conditions, with most all
the advantages of larger city, without
it's vexatious burdens, and in position to
run it's own affairs to suit it's own con-
venience. Under these circumstances
its citizens are not very apt to be content
with playing second fiddle in big band.
This, however, would be the case should
they permit themselves to be annexed
to Mankato, At present North Manka-
to people levy their taxes, fix their roads
and run their own town as suits their
taste; in case of annexation the village
would be only a small cog in large
wheel and Mankato with it's large ma
jority in the council would be the prin-
cipal gamer in the deal.
Yet the proposition has it's supporters
in North Mankato and it's final outcome
is by no means a foregone conclusion.
The ground for such move has been
carefully prepared by interested parties
Tor some time past and the coming con-
test between Mankato on the one side
and North Mankato on the other side is
likely to lead to lively struggle before
the fight is over. st. Peter Free Press.

Senior Boys Defeat Juniors.

The Senior basketball team defeated
the Juniors last Friday night in the first
of the interclass series by score of 2O-11
The game was about even in the first
half, the Juniors working hard against
the grave and decorous Seniors and
putting it over their opponents by eight
and seven, In the second half the
Senior team work was too much for the
Juniors, and then with the clever basket
shooting Of Crone and Reineke, the
Seniors succeeded in scoring thirteen
more points. Reineke succeeded in
placing one of his favorite backward
shots. This completely paralyzed the
Juniors and so the Seniors wound up
with a score of 20 to IL.

might be damaged by hostile aviators

An order issued on the evening of

carry out these instructions Captain
Sievert was able to dispose Of one

President Sends Out Letter
to Various Leaders in
War Torn Republic
HINTS AT FORCE TO
END REVOLUTION
Saws Time Has Come for the
United States to Take
Hand in Difficulty

Washington, D. c., June I'm
statement to the American people to-
day President Wilson served notice on
factional leaders Of Mexico that unless
WITHIN "a very short time" they united
to set up a government which the
world can recognize, the United States
twill be constrained to decide what
means should be employed by the Uni
ted States in order to help Mexico
save herself and serve her people"
Signalizing a change from the
"watchful waiting" policy, which has
guided relations with Mexico for more
than two years, the presidents state
ment was regarded everywhere in Of
fcial and diplomatic quarters as no.
tice Of a new and vigorous policy to
restore peace below the Rio Grande
Everywhere it was interpreted as a
warning that the patience OF the
United States is exhausted. Wnat
steps the president Is prepared to take
if his warning goes unheeded, Is not
disclosed in the statement. In hlgh
official quarters, nevertheless, no DOUBT
existed that he is prepared to proceed.
The statement, which goes to Car
rama. Villa, Zapata and Cara, the
prin ncipal leaders, not as d1plomatlc
note from the United States, but as a
declaration of President Wilson's att1-
tude. expressed in a statement to the
American people, Is as follows:
"For more than two years revolu-
tionary conditions have existed In Mex
leo, The purpose of the revolution was
TO rid Mexico of men who ignored the
constitution Of the republic and Used
their power in contempt Of the right
Of it's people. and with these purposes
the people of the United States instinc-
lively and generously sympatnlzed. but
the leaders Of the revolution, in the
very hour Of their success, have dis
agreed and turned their arms against
one another.
