WASHINGTON. March 2.-offlci-

LONDON. March 2.-Strong appro-
val of the determination OF Great
Britain and France to place an en-
barge on the shipment OF any COM
modities to and from Germany was
expressed today by newspapers and
the general public The press ex-
presses regret that neutral commerce
must suffer but supports Asquith's
statement that the allies must not al
low themselves to be swayed from
their course by the protests OF other
countries.
In spite OF this expression OF salts
faction, there is a strong undercur-
rent OF feeling that the proposed en-
barge may not be enforced. Many
cannot see how the British govern
ment could establish such an unpre-
cedented policy in the face OF the
combined protests OF neutral nations.
1t is pointed out that Asquith In his
speech in the house OF commons care
fully avoided making a statement OF
hard and fast policy. He said that
British and French ships would "hold
themselves free to detain vessels"
Many believe that this would provide
a loophole which the allies had ar
ranged for themselves in case compli-
cations arise with neutral nations over
the proposed blockade OF the German
coast.

AN INJUSTICE SOMEWHERE.

James McLaren, who was convicted
of arson about Is months ago and
sentenced to a term of seven years in
state prison, is now free man. He
had been granted a new trial, which
was to come off at LIE Sueur Center
this week. But when the case was
called the county attorney is reported
to have stated to the court that he
had no case against the accused, where
upon the court dismissed the case and
discharged the prisoner.
Id he case > is : rather peculiar one
and invites closer investigation. A man
is convicted Of arson upon certain
sworn testimony, is given long prison
sentence, of which he served about
fifteen months and upon a new trial
is set free for want of evidence.
What redress had the man thus de-
prived of his liberty? It would seem
there should be some way of settling
things right and of placing the respon-
sibility where it. properly belongs.-St
Peter Free Press.

LITERARY SOCIETIES GIVE GOOD
PROGRAM.

One of the largest crowds of visitors
ever seen in the High School witnessed
the literary program given in the Audi
ttorium last Friday evening. The large
increase in attendance at the last two
programs goes to show that the people
OF New Ulm are taking keener in
terest in High School work. This will
no doubt be very effective stimulus
to the participants of future programs.
The program of Friday evening was
excellent in quality but too long for
comfort. This defect, however. can
readily be remedied in the future pro-
grams.
The first number was selection by
the High School orchestra 'Sonps Of
our Old Folks" which they handled in
a masterful manner. This selection
consisted of number Of old home
songs each of which was characterized
by an instrumental solo by some member
OF the orchestra. Next followed q
recitation Roberts Punishment" by
Elda Jahnke. This was q story Of
how father in trying to punish bis son

A COMPARISON OF VALUES.

County Auditor Vogel has received
statistical map from the Minnesota
Tax Commission, giving figures for
each county in the state relative to the
average assessed value of implanted
real estate.
The average assessed value per acre
in Brown County in 1914 as equalized
by the County Board was 22.86. The
state tax commission did not raise
nor did they lower this assessment.
The state tax commission reduced
the valuation in nearly all the counties
in the southern part of the state, while
in most of the counties in the northern
part the average was raised.
The average assessed value in Brown
County in 1912 was $17.05.
For sake of comparison we give be-
low the average assessed value per
acre as equalized by the tax commission
for 1914 in number of different coun-

Joan of Arc" an essay by Regina
Esser followed. She gave the life Of
the French heroine, Joan of Arc,-how
she had saved France and how she suf-
fered and died suspected of being a
witch and how she stands now in the
ranks of the French martyrs.
Next came Caroline Stolz's recitation
Them" This was STORY Of a young
boy, who preferred running away to
being made to wear his fathers red
beard, red trousers and red necktie.
How this young man met and overcame
the terrible dangers in his path, a COW,
a dog and a ghost which turned out to
be only tree stump, how he went
to q house where he met his father who
took him home again, was told very
entertainingly in the recitation.
Henrietta Kogge's essay, Camp Fire
Girls" unfolded to the audience the
secrets of that organization showing
the three degrees and what the quail
fications are for entering.
Next came the debate. The ques-
ton Resolved that the Presidents
term should be six years instead of
four and that he should be ineligible for
reelection was vigorously defended by
Ray Lehman and Jessie Spelbrink and
was assailed with equally vigor by Eli
zabeth Dougher and Meta Sell.
The Girls Glee Club then entertained
the audience with two very interest
ing selections.
Leslie Peuser's book Review, "Cab-
bages and Kings" took us over to Cen
trail America.
Caught in the Act" very interest
ing original detective story showed
us how to catch counterfeiters. 1t
was read by Lucille Drummer.
Leo Berg's book Review came next.
1t was a very we'll written and quite
forcefully given. Thusnelda Gag len
gave her original story ''Patsy's Scholar
Ship" a story of girls struggle to make
use of a scholarship she had earned in
High School.
The program was closed with another
selection by the orchestra.
The debate was given to the negative
by to vote.
This gives the ITALIAN Society 5
points and the Athena Society 2 points
giving the ITALIAN grand total of 8
and the Athena a grand total Of Is
points, to date. AS each of the two
societies has won the John x. Neumann
trophy for one year this is to be the de-
Gliding year. The narrowing of the mar
gin has also put keener edge on the
competition between the two societies
which guarantees good time to ey cry
body who attends the next program
which will take place in about three
weeks.

CELEBRATE CRYSTAL WEDDING

Saturday evening, Feb. Goth, nearly
one hundred of the friends and neigh
bors of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Neumann of
Milford gathered and sprung surprise
on them, it being their fifteenth wedding
anniversary. The guests came with
wel-flled baskets and the evening
was spent in playing cards and other
games until late hour. Supper was
served by the ladies and all enjoyed the
many good things to eat. On de-
parting for their homes they left a
table filled with various kinds of glass
and crystal ware for Mr.. and Mrs.
Neumann to recall the event, and to
keep in memory their many friends.

-hfANlcATo 70. HAVE BIG AUTO

"a . . /. -. 4. / 4 u 4
Mankato will have an automobile show
the 18th, 18th and. 18th of March in
the new Armory building and it is 90
ing to be one of the biggest events of
its kind ever staged in a city the size of
Mankato.
Mankato automobile men have had
such a show in mind for some time
and they are going to stage the coming
affair in a strictly metropolitan way
and are going to spare enither time nor
money to make the exhibition a success
in every way and the predictions are
that it will be one of the handsomest
shows to be found anywhere.
Two shows will be given each of the
three days and the doors will be open
from ! to 1890 P. M. There will be
splendid program during each show
rendered by some Of the very best en-
tertainers obtainable.
There are more popular, medium
and low priced cars sold in Mankato
IMAM IN any other city of the same size
in the United States and for that reason
if no other Mankato dealers are in po-
sition to put on show which will,
because of the large number of different
models Of the many makes of cars sold
there, make wonderfully complete
and highly interesting display.
The large display announcement of
the show appears elsewhere in this
paper-read it.

TEAM LOSES TO ALUMNI.

In close and hard-fought game, the
high school quint dropped game to
the Alumni by a score of 1911. The
old timers started with flash of speed
which soon put them eight points in
the lead before the high school boys
could locate the basket. But the brace
came in a few minutes and the score
was tie at the end of the first half,
10 to 10.
The high school team was handicapped
by the absence of the star forward,
Durbahn, and the injuries which put
two others of the regulars out Of the
game. The playing was good in the
first half, and fairly even on both sides.
The absence of the regulars weakened
the teamwork somewhat although the
plays from center worked repeatedly,
only failing at the try for the wicker.
In the second half both sides tired
so that the play slowed down consider
ably. Toward the end of the game
A. Amann was the only man on both
teams with enough pep and speed to
give good imitation of basketball.
The others were content to rest when
they got the opportunity. Leo Berg
again played star guarding game for
the high school. Otto Dougher was
put in for the first time this year and
played a good steady game.
ALUMNAE LOSE TOHICH SCHOOL
The High School girls Basket Ball
Team cleaned up the Alumnae team last
Thursday by score of 81 to 3 at the
High School gymnasium.
1t was a highly pleasing game as it
showed clearly how the continuous
practising Of the High School girls
had developed them. The alumnae
were winded soon after the beginning
of the game and were able to make only
one point. The first half ended ID to
in favor of the High School. The
second half saw the High School using
their team work to perfection. Rose
bud Engel and Genevieve Vedder made
the points for the High School while
the close guarding OF Bertha Esser and
Willibalda Eibner kept down the Alumni
score. The game ended in FL to 3.

Our First Coinage.

The earliest coinage of money Tor
America is said to have been made for
Virginia in 1872 The London company
had been formed for the purpose OF
pushing colonization work in Virginia,
and In 1909 Sir George Somers, an
active promoter of the company, set
out with an expedition. His vessels
encountered storm and were wreck
ed on the coast of one of the Bermuda
islands. Somers took possession OF the
islands In the name Of Great Britain.
He was forced to remain there ten
months. but finally reached Virginia.
The Bermudas, often since then called
Somers islands, were largely colonized
by people from Virginia. and the rela.
tons between the two became init

The Red Shirt of italy,

The red shirt, destined to become SO
famous symbol throughout Europe,
was not at first adopted by Garibaldi
for any fantastic or spectacular rea-
son. The English Admiral Ingram
says that the red shirt had its origin In
stern necessity and that its adoption
was caused by the need Of clothing as
economically as possible the legion that
Garibaldi had raised for the liberation
of Italy. An offer was made by a
tradesman to supply at reduced price
large stock of red wooden shirts. This
offer was eagerly closed on. Before
many years had passed the red shirt
became the symbol not merely of the
legion, but Of the new spirit working
for the liberation of Italy. - Atlanta
