.JINCOISM IN LONDON.

Robert Muhs sends us again eopies
of the Continental edition of the London
Daily Mail showing pictures of the
AntfGerman riots i'm England which
followed the sinking of the Lusitania.
From the illustrations it appears that
the people entered the houses and shops
of the Germans and looted them, carry
ing away the furnishings for their own
use or destroying what they did not
care to take away. Women and children
took part I'm these attacks. The papers
are, of course, pro-British and tell of
shocking happenings of the war. An
editorial expresses the great fear of the
Londoners that when the Zeppelins
appear in their raid on London the &c, 900
Germans resident in the country will
rise to the occasion and help to destroy
by fire and poison and other means.
The ''Mail' advocates the innterninp Of
these Germans in comfortable places
where they will be detained until the
close of the war to prevent their doing
any harm. They emphasize the word
comfortable" and comment that the
British subjects interned in GERMANY
are not comfortable.

A number of oil and varrish rags were

Winthrop, Mimi, where his people still
reside. He has been employed by the
Minneapolis & St. Louis Road for the
past five years. The case is one of
those particularly unfortunate accidents
caused more by the contempt of fami-
liaEity with danger than by real necessity.
It seems that there is hard and fast
rule in the service against kicking at a
coupling in this way because OF the
danger involved to the workman but,
as usual, the adjustment seemed so
easy that the rule was forgotten for the
moment. The result in this case means
the permanent disabling of a good work.

Prof. Kuehnemann is an exchange pro-
lessor and comes from the Breslau
University in Germany. For some time

COUNCIL GIVES JOB

BOULEVARDS
WORK ON BROADWAY IMPROVE
MENTs MUST BE COMPLETED
IN AUGUST

A special session OF the city council
was called last Monday evening at T. 80
o'clock and with Pres. Retzlaff in the
chair the matter Of letting the contracts
for the grading, gravellnag and boule-
varding of Broadway from Eighth
North St. to Twelfth North St. was at
once taken up. Two bids for the con-
tract were received. E. H. Haeberle
OF New Ulm estimated the work at
$4,000. Contractor Joseph Sampson of
Mankato cut considerably below the
figures of the local contractor and
offered to undertake the task for $685.
so. Without much discussion the con-
tract was awarded to the lower bidder.
The contract calls for the Broadway
Improvement to be completed by August
18th.
Albrecht Stork appeared before the
council with Mr.. G. S. Kibbe, Civil
Engineer of the St. Louis Railway, to
secure final sanction of the body to the
projected spur track TO the Stork Bros.
house. After questioning the
engineer in regard to a few of the details
of the construction the council granted
permission for the work to be started.
Alderman Behnke then brot forward
the matter of the Improvement of CON-
>ditions on First Second and Third North
Streets between Broadway and Minnie
sofa. It seems that the continued
rains Of the past weeks left these streets
in worse condition than usual and with
the deep accumulation of mud and
water in the g 1tters it has become i'm
possible to approach the curb at all In
many places. After considerable dis
cussion it was decicdsd that cement
,curbs and cutters are necessary and
the matter was finally referred to the
Board of Public Works and the City
Engineer to report on att the next
special meeting or June Gard.
Councilman Hamann then brought
up the matter of the much needed re-
pairs at the cemetery. "A new tool
house is needed, hitching posts must be
erected to save the fence and other
repairs must be made soon to keep UP
the appearance ofthe Cemetery. Alder
man Eibner supported Mr.. Hamann
strongly in the matter and urged that
the council go out in the very near
future and come to some definite con-
clusion as to what is to be done as the
present building is q veritable eyesore

INTERESTED IN NEW ULM.

A. H. Gottschall of Harrisburg, Pa,
who is writing history OF the American
Indian and early conditions in the West
spent Sunday in the city. He is very
interesting man and is better posted on
the Indian Massacre of New Ulm than
are most of our own citizens. He was
especially interested in finding out when
the last government land was sold here,
when the first railroad came into the
city and he also was after pictures of the
historical buildings of the city. He was
referred to Richard Pfefferle who showed
him around, pointing out where the
barbados had been placed during the
Outbreak and the buildings which are
still standing and which played such an
important part during the August troub-
les of half a century ago. Mr.. Gott-
schall was particularly interested in the
old post office building (old Forster place.
on Broadway on account of the loop
holes which are still to be seen. He was
also shown the Weddendorf building
where 20 men were cut off and he visited
the marker near the Loretto Hospital, at
which point the LOOMS party had been
ambushed. He was more interested in
the old chimney of the Waraju Distillery
than he would have been in seeing 20
story sky-scraper. He also had a visit
with Ben Juni in the evening for the pur-
pose of listening to his account of his
captivity among the Indians. He could
not understand how it was possible that
New Ulm with its stirring history should
have no historical society and that no
steps are taken to preserve the old relics.
He was certainly enthusiastic about New
Ulln and said he had never before visited
a place that had more natural advantages
or was more inviting for homes than New
Ulm. Dick" Pfefferle says that if ou1
citizens could have heard the man en-.
thuse about the city real estate values
here would have jumped 100 percent ovel
night. From here the visitor left fol

CENTIPEDB DlTCHER
DOES TALL DIGGING.
RAPID PROGRESS is MADE ON
NORTH GERMAN STREET
IMPROVEMENT
BIG WATERLOO, IA. MACHINE is
AN INTERESTING THING TO
WATCH.

Some class to that sort Of digging"
seems to be the general verdict of the
crowds who go to see the giant ditching
machine slowly eating it's way along
North German Street. The Dearborn
Construction Company Of Waterloo, Ia,
are putting in the big Two :oot sewer main
and are using the most up-to-date method
of doing it. The big ditching machine,
constructed on the general lines Of an
overgrown centipede has reduced the
moving of large bodies of earth to mere
child's play.
In the un-technical language of the
novice, the machine is simply a series of
derrick arches running upon small rail-
road track and supporting an overhead
trolley track. From this overhead track
"a series Of large steel buckets is suspended
and they are manipulated by means of
steel wire cables attached to large drums
which inturn are run by a donkey engine
at the business end of the "centipede".
These buckets are lowered into the ex-
cavation and filled by the workers and
are then hoisted by means Of the cable
and carried along the overhead track till
the dumping place is reached After being
rapidly dumped, they right themselves
and return to the trench to repeat the
operation. After the machine is set up
"a tremendous amount of dirt can be
moved in jiffy with mighty little fuss or
feathers.
For the first hundred feet the dirt
must he scarted away but after the first
Of the sewer is laid the dirt from the .ex-
cayation is simply dumped back to Fill
up the completed ditch, thus accomplish
ing two objects with one manipulation.
Six to twelve men are required to dig the
big ditch ditch and by means of the ma
chinery can accomplish more than a
hundred men can with the ,antiquated
methods Of hand digging.
The ditch is five feet wide with an av-
erage depth Of eighteen feet. The first
six feet is carefully '1cribged' to prevent
caving and injury to the workmen. Be
low this is thick stratum of hard blue
clay. The worlunen employed are Hal-
ians whenever they can be secured for
they seem to stand the heavy work far
better than the American workman can.
The sewer pipe is quite interesting in
itself. 1t is not in reality a pipe but is
composed of sections foot wide by some
two feet in length which fit together to
form tWo foot sewer. The purpose of
this form is to avoid having to handle the
heavy weight of the solid tile Of the nee
xessary dimensions.
The Dearborn people have the contract
tor about SIX blocks of heavy ex:aNating
and will be engaged on the job here for
some time.

San Juan Forts Fire
On German Ship

San Juan, Porto Rico-The German
merchant steamer Odenwald, which at
tempted to leave port Monday without
clearance papers, was stopped as she
was passing out the enhance to the
harbor by two shots across her bows
from fve-inch gun and direct shots
from a Maxim. She then returned
and was taken in charge by the col
lector of customs.
Permission to sail was refused the
Odenwald by the collector, pending in
structions from Washington. The
steamer has been at San Juan since
August 6. She was bound for Euro
pean ports from the West Indies with
freight and passengers and sought ref
uge here. She began coaling and TAX
ing on provisions three days ago.
Failing to obtain the necessary
clearance papers, her commander ap-
parently decided to risk the attempt
to put to sea. A heavy gun on Morro
Castle sent two shots across her bows
as a warning, but it was not until the
machine gun opened direct fire that
the steamer stopped and headed back
to port.
