PREDICTS VIC
TORY FOR GERMANY.

A crowded house greeted DR.. Eugene
Kuehnemann, Professor of the University
of Breslau Thursday evening upon his
second appearance in this city. He
spoke upon Germany, America and the
War and for about two hours held the
rapt attention of the large audience.
DR.. Kuehnemann is very captivating
and convincing speaker and succeeded
in imbuing his hearers with the idea
that the war has already been won by
Germany and that all efforts of the
Allies to break thru the lines of defense
as established by Germany and her close
ally Austro-Hungary would prove futile.
Prof. Kuehnemann informed his au-
dience that at the rate the Allies are
progressing on the western battle front
it will take them fully four years to
reach the German border and that then
the enemy will really find themselves
up against wall which they will not be
able to bulge. He described the whole
battle front as one continuous battle
and said it is necessary toretain it intact,
because the slightest breach might prove
disastrous. He gave due praise to the
efficiency of the German war machine, but
stated that in his opinion the battled are
not being won by this efficiency alone
but that it is the indomitable spirit OF
the German nation that is back of it all
and that will win the battles and make
it utterly impossible for the Allies to
score any victories of Importance. He
spoke kindly of the French people and
said that among the Germans as rule
there is no strong feeling of hatred a.
gainst the French. Rather there is a
feeling of pity than resentment, that
they should have allowed themselves to
become inveigled into this world war.
He ikened the German nation to the
rising of the sun, in all its glory, moving
toward the zenith of it's existence and
he French nation as the sunset over
what was at one time virile and strong
nation and had done its share in the
j.
uplift and enlightenmentof humanity.
Prof. Kuehnemann does not regard
this war as such a reprehensible destruc-
tive force. On the contrary he main
tanned that it is sometimes necessary to
eliminate some things undesirable by
force before something better can be
put in it's place. And in the place of
present conditions he wants German
Kultur to work out to the benefit of the
entire human race.
Following the lecture, a number of
those who heard the lecture gathered in
the social rooms at the Hall and met the
speaker, spending couple of hours in
formally together.

PICKPOCKETS WRITE
TO CHIEF OF POLICE
TELL HIM WHERE TO FIND THE
PURSE STOLEN FROM NOR
WOOD MAN.
INFORMATION PROVES CORRECT
AND SHOWS POLICE HAD
RIGHT MEN.

OAAcA VI OACc AAduSS Was Luc re-
cipient of an interesting communication
last Friday. TT was in the form of a
postal card, postmarked Kansas City,
Missouri, but bearing no signature. It
carried sufficient information to the
chief so that he was able to find the
missing pocket-book belonging to w.
c. Bonn of Norwood, one Of the visitors
to New Ulm at the time of the Her
mann's Sons picnic. Mr.. Bonn lost
twenty dollars at the time by way of a
pick-pocket's fingers and Chief Klause
returned that amount to him but he
was not able to return the pocketbook
as the men from whom he got the money
to return to Mr.. Bonn claimed that they
knew nothing about the theft of the
twenty dollars and could not tell where
the missing purse might be. Chief
Klause exacted a promise from the
thieves that when they met up with the
rest of the "gang" which they said came
here on the excursion they would find
out where the pocketblook was. That
was the last thought of the matter until
the arrival of the post card last Friday. 9,
The card was not model of compo-
sition nor was its lucidity particularly
commendable. However it answered
the purpose. The message it conveyed
to the Chief was as follows: 'The
pocketbook that he'd 20 dollar bill will
be found in ladies toilet through hole in
second toilet maybe third toilet. !"
Nothing more. The Chief sought the
Heights and investigated the place and
found an empty purse as the card in-
Dictated he would. Doubtless, the card
was merely the effort Of the thieves to
show Chief Klause they could play
the game and keep promise made
to him in return for their getting of so.
lightly. Probably the whole outfit were
in cahoots and the ones who were forced
to disgorge were not the ones who re-
ieved Mr.. Bonn Of his purse, but they
were no better.
Others who lost money at the time of
the picnic were Carl Krol from Sioux
Valley, Minnesota and VIM. Ring Of
New Ulm. The former was plucked Of
$500 and Mr.. Ring lost $4.35. Chief
Klause got enough from the men he
picked up to reimburse all three and then
turned the fellows loose because he
could find no charge on which to hold
them. The men made no protest
against giving up the money but the
police force could not detain them
further without definite charge against
them.

WILL NOT ACCEPT RESIGNATION

It was hard to tell which was the more
surprised, Rev. Wheeler or his congre
cation, when he presented his resig-
nation Sunday and asked that it be
accepted as final and absolute, and the
congregation unanimously refused to
consider it SO. Rev. Wheeler had an
nounced to some of the members of the
Church last spring that he would
probably seek another pastorate this
fall as he had been here for ten years
and felt that change would be salutary
both to himself and the New Ulm con-
gregation. Apparently his remarks did
not remain in the minds of those to
whom he confded his resolution for
when he presented his resignation Sun
day they appeared to think the whole
matter very sudden. Rev. Wheeler's
surprise came when committee waited
upon him with the information that they
could not think of accepting his resig-
nation and pledging such support and
allegiance that he could not but recon-
slider his decision.
DR.. Everett Lesher, State Superin-
tendent of Minnesota Congregational
Churches had discussed the matter with
Rev. Wheeler and had advised him that
he would prepare the way for change
of location if possible. Rev. Wheeler
had given his word that if a way opened
he would leave New Ulm believing that
q new man could do more for the local
pastorate than he could after having
been here so long. During the week
he bad received a unanimous call from
the Elk River, Minnesota, Congrepa-
tional Church and had written them
that he expected to send formal ac
ceptance shortly, after resigning here.
Rev. Wheeler now finds himself in a
position that is rather difficult to find
a way out OF, but has left the matter
entirely in the hands Of DR.. Lesher who
will decide what is best to be done in the
case. Meanwhile, his congregation and
other friends are sincerely hoping that.
the decision will be in favor Of Rev.
Wheeler's remaining here.

new ULM DEALER
LOSES TO R0BBER
CLOTHING THIEVES VISIT STORE
OF EMIL METZINCER FRIDAY
NIGHT.
DAKOTA HOUSE ALSO VISITED
BY THIEF WHO GETS $4,000
HAUL.

Suitcase robbers" got next to New
Ulm merchant last Friday evening and
relieved him of about $4,000 dollars
worth Of what they evidently considered
his superfluous wealth. The robbery
was not committed in New Ulm, how
ever, but in the Emil Metzinger Clothing
store at Springfield. The goods re-
moved consisted of thirty suits and the
necessary suitcases to remove the stolen
clothing. Mr.. Metzinger can not say
just how many there were of the suitcases
but there must have been eight or ten.
The robbery was not discovered until
Saturday morning when the store was
opened for the days business. The
thieves gained entrance through a rear
window. No one heard any noise of
their entrance and the hour at which
they committed the theft is unknown as
there was no one about the store. George
Forster says that he passed the store
about 1890 and heard and saw
nothing and Julius Rick who was meet
Ing the 2 o'clock passenger drove thru
the town at about that hour and saw
no one stirring.
The suits taken were all hanging to-
gether on rack on one side of the room
and all that were taken were one size, 81.
The suitcases that went to keep them
company were kept near the 81 suits and
the robbers disturbed nothing else what
ever. There was no sign of their visit
except the empty racks that greeted the
clerks on their arrival.
That the thieves did not judge the
capacity Of the suitcases they took
correctly was shown by the fact that they
were obliged to abandon two Of the suits
which evidently would not fit in. These
suits were found in the shed Of the Bauch
Bros. building which is next door to the
Metzinger store. These silk and suit
robbers become more and more bold
daily. New Ulm is certainly due for
another visit and the police say that they
are on the watch.
A robbery of almost equal magnitude
took place in New Ulm last Wednesday
afternoon but was not of the same sort.
The thief in this instance took fancy
to the jewelry he found in the private
rooms of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred w. Johnson
at the Dakota House and made away
with nearly $4,000 worth of stuff.
No trace has been found of the party who
committed the theft but suspicious
point to man who engaged a room and
later cancelled the order by telephone,
saying that he was leaving town sooner
