Miss AImeda B. Richard Relates
Her Experience As Teacher
On Famed Island
From Fridays Daily.

Mankato normal school graduates
wander far afield. Not long ago Mr..
Clyde Mason, who is now superin-
ttendent Of schools in the Philippine
Islands. returned on visit to his old
school and this week Miss Almeda B..
Richard, formerly of Tracy, a gradu-
ate of eighteen years ago, came back
to visit her alma mater.
Miss Richard has spent the past five
years in Porto Rico. where she has
been supervisor of the primary de-
partment in the normal training de-
partment of the University of Porto
Rico sdg l~aes..
| Miss Richard is most enthusiastic
over her work She says the Univer-
>sity of Porto Rico now numbers some
eight hundred students, all natives of
the island, and these students hold
their own when they come to the
United States to continue their col
legiate work. The dean of the uni
versity is an Amsaican,- but the as
sistant is Porto Rican of Spanish
blood as is also the head of the train
ing department. Miss Mattienzo. She
! is the daughter of scholar and had
her education at Ogontz and her
special training at Teachers college.
| Columbia university. IN
Miss Richard says there is not the
same demand for American teachers
in Porto Rico as there was a few
years ago, as the university is
training enough native teachers to
handle the work on the island.
Miss Richard has been obliged to
give up her work after five years in
tropical country, and will remain
in Minnesota.

ANTI FORCES GIVE
GREATER BLOW
Senator Nelson Not For
:. Resolution; CIapp Was
From fridays Daily.
United Press Dispatch.l

lOnlted PreSS DlSDatcn.1
Washington, March 3.-The
senate today killed the Gore
resolution, which called on
Americans to stay off the
armed merchant ships of the
beiligerent countries. Sena-
tor Nelson's vote and Senator
clapp's neutralized each other,
the former voting against the
resolution and the latter
for it.
BY killing the Gore resoiu-
ton, the senate removed all
doubt as to its position, and
cleared the clouds away from
the international situation. 1t
is expected that the house will
soon do likewise, showing that
the president has powerful
backing in congress.
Senator Stone tried to call
I'D Senator Jones' resolution,
calling on the president, be-
fore sending an ultimatum to
Germany, to notify the senate.
Senator Jones forestalled this
by withdrawing his resolution,
and stating that he would re-
Introduce it later.
The vote in the senate is
taken to mean without doubt
that the United States will de-
clare war on Germany if a
single American life is lost in
attacks made by Germany on
armed merchant vessels, with
out previous warning.
Senator o. M. James of
Kentucky led the administra-
ton fight on the floor. Sena-
tors Stone, vardaman, Smoot
and others tried to explain
their vote, but were promptly
ruled out of order. Senator
Borah protested against the
gag, but it was of no avail.
Senator Stone shook his head
at the arbitrary proceeding.
Two of the presidents Sis
tiers. in-laW were among the
audience, and there was Miss
Lansing, sister of the secre-
tary of state, with party of
friends.
At the White House, the re-
suit of the vote was awaited
with caImness. No attempt,
however, is made to conceal
the bitterness of the officials
of the administration at what
they term the treachery of
Senator Gore.

German Play Sunday Niqht.


Der Liebe Onkel' the play to be
presented next Sunday evening at
Mankato theatre is one of the most
than a dozen English limitations have
been presented on the American
stage. The story of the play is very
simple, though it is difficult to give
an adequate idea of the many Incl
dents which succeed each other with
linghtning-like rapidity.
August Hellborg. a young burgo-
master in town near Berlin goes
to Berlin to see state councillor. He
gets lost in the city and finds young
lady who has lost her uncle and who
complains of hunger. He leads her
into building which he takes for a
restaurant, but which is in reality a
public dance hall. The councillor
finds him here and asked him who the
young lady was who had been with
him, and in his perplexity he claims
that she was his wife. This little lie
is the seed from which all his troubles
spring. When the councillor later
comes to the burgomaster's home the
latter's wife is introduced as his sis
ter, and his counsin as his wife. PAN
demonium then begins. The councillor
falls in love with the wife. the cous-
ms bethrothed goes on the Warpath,
the wife becomes jealous, the cook S
bethrOthed Ca waiter in Berlin) ar
rives and complexities matters still
more by the lies he tells to help ont
the burgomaster. The school teacher
stands lOyally by his old friend the
burgomaSter. but his well meant lies
only serve to make matters worse
The burgomaster is accused of biga-
my and every black hearted villanny,
and the proof seems overwhelming.
The fourth act is played with the
bugomaster lying in a death like
lethargy while around him all the ac-
tors of the drama rage and rave in a
desperate but fruitless attempt to I'M
ravel the web which their own per-
varicatiOns and MISUNDERSTANDING
have woven.
The play ends happily, when every
thing is explained, and the burgo-
master found guilty of nothing, but
one little lie which unfortunately
produced a crop of lies that fills four
acts of uproarious comedy
The proceeds will be added to the
receipts of the Red Cross Bazaar, and
a large attendance is expected
The play will be given under the
capable direction of Joseph Blissen-
bach and much of his support are ''old
stagers" who have taken part in am
ateur theatricals dozens OF times.
