ENDS IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN.
British South African Forces Released
For Work Elsewhere.

London, July 9.-The surrender OF
the entire German force in German
Southwest Africa closes one of the most
important campaigns In the great war
and releases for service elsewhere all
Of the South African contingent. Altho
German East Africa remains uncon-
quered, contingent will be dispatched
to France, while contingent will con.
tinue the campaign in East Africa. It
is generally believed that German
Southwest Africa will become a part
of the South African union.
Russians Now Hopeful.
Special dispatches from Petrograd
report that the Russian positions in
southern Russian Poland now are very
hopeful and the possibility of the Aus
tro- Germans carrying Warsaw by as
sault is obviated. 1t Is explained by
Russian commentators that thelAustro-
German forces now are operating in a
country where the transportation and
the commissariat are more complex
than they were in the Galician opera
tions.
The Austrian reverse is explained BY
London military experts as due to the
ardor Of Archduke Joseph Ferdinand s
army, which, in the rush on the kras-
nik-L Lublin line, got SO far ahead Of
Field Marshal Mackenzen's forces that
a junction was impossible. Vienna al
mits that the Austrian's have bee,,
compelled to retreat from the LutNI.
district.
The only advances claimed by the
Austrians is on the Vistula river, where
the Russians presumably are with
drawing to new lines.
German Reinforcsments in West.
Reports continue to reach here by
way of Holland that the Germans are
sending reinforcements to the west
ern front.
The only news of the operations in
the western zone, however, is contained
in the brief Paris report. which relates
that German assault directed against
trenches which the British had cap-
tured southwest Of Kilpen was broken
with heavy losses under the fire OF
British artillery and French machine
guns and which admit that German
attack rewon some ground in front OF
Souchez.

CUMMINS WARNS
REPUBLICAN PARTY
Says Success Will Not Come From
Mere Naming Of Candidates and
Formulation Of Platform-Commends

Chicago, July 9.-Senator A. B. Cum
Minis Of Iowa, a republican presidential
possibility, commended the policy Of
President Wilson in dealing with the
course of an interview in the Congress
Hotel yesterday, warning republicans
they would have to do something more
than nominate national ticket next
year IL they were to win.
Nor was that all the Iowa senator
had to say of questions and problems
which are before the people just now.
President Wilson's course in ham
ding the problems growing out OF the
European war has been marked by
wisdom and statesmanship," the sena :
tor said There Is no doubt the war
has strengthened him with the people.
The only question about which there
is doubt Is whether the weakness OF
the administration in domestic prob
lens will overshadow the prestige
gained by the successful meeting OF the
issues raised by this awful war.

will have to do to win the national

"Mr. Bryan's course is inexplicable
to me-" answered the Iowan. Il be-
lieve, and think the people generally
believe, there is no difference between
Mr.. Bryan and his attitude toward the
war and the president and his atti-

sonal belief that Mr.. Bryan resigned

Official Paper of Brown County.

It must be noticeable to everyone that
the fire whistle has blown much more
often than is usual the past few months
in New Ulm. 1t looks as tho there were
not the care taken that should be OBJ
served in cold weather. It is true that
the only disastrous fire we have had for
a wear originated from defective wiring
and that is not to be laid at the house
holders door as carelessness. 1t is also
true that chimney fires do not often re-
suit in severe damage but there is never
a chimney fire that could not develop
into something very much worse if
given chance, say in the middle of the
night when the householders are all
peacefully sleeping. People who have
chimneys of their own should not be
throwing stones at others who are
similarly equipped but it is wrong for
us not to say "Look OUT if it may in a
single instance lead some citizen to take a
little more pains to see that everything
is right about his furnace and chimney.
Not only is it in New Ulm that fires seem
to be frequent this fall. In nearly every
city or village about us there have been
fires of more or less Importance all fall
and even in country districts school
houses and farm houses have been de-
stroyed in larger numbers than we have
ever noted before. Is it not possible
that the cold rainy season that passed
as summer here, requiring fire every
month of the year, and unusually early
starting of furnaces, may have so filled
up the chimneys that they are ready to
'''burn out" at the first opportunity?
We may be all wrong in this matter but
we are going to keep an eye on our
chimney these days, and nights, too, you
may be sure.

Peace On Forth, Good VIII To Men

In the year 1915 of the era of our So
called Christian civilization, the words
which ushered it in are possibly more
pregnant with meaning than they have
ever been before. The world is just
coming to realize what they might mean
and never have meant. "Peace on earth,
good will to men,; what a world of
meaning there is in these words to the
exiles from Belgium and Northern
France, to the captive women and
children of Armenia, to the scanty
remnant of heroic Serbs, to the starving
children of devastated Poland! "Pax
vobiscum" the words with which the
early Christians invoked the blessing Of
Supreme Being upon each other, what
a solace they must be to the starving
mother Of the soldier boys buried
!ttsomewhere in France. At the end of
the darkest days in European history,
the most consistent standpatter Of them
all remarked on his deathbed: ''Vicisti,
Gallile'; yet in this year Of peace we
cannot say "vcisti'' to anyone except
the makers of arms, armies, and war.
"Vicisti GalIile", we shall sing with an
unshaken faith in our churches on Christ
mas morning, we shall feel in our hearts
in this day Of selfish, home-circle Joy,
as we with unexpected and over flowing
goodwill to men" proceed to exchange
presents. Oh, what time this is! So
refreshing is this spirit Of friendliness,
good will, and tolerance, because it
comes but once year; so soothing to
our jaded conscience, with the feeling Of
conscious goodness, is this sudden orgy
of brotherly kindness! ALPS we'll with
the world, and especially with "us'.
Yet human nature is so peculiarly
constituted that even in the darkest day
of tragedy hope never deserts it.
Character is not developed by victories
but by defeat; not by SNUG confidence
and undisturbed success, but by vita
experiences which shake the very natures
of men. What this war means, we can
not know; what life itself means, w
can never know. 1t is glorious fare
which men make tragic by thinking i
so. 1t is grave tragedy which me-
