subject Of his address was Building a
New World, and while the title
suggested something rather broad and
equally long, Prof. Todd prefaced his
remarks by the statement that his termi-
nal facilities were good, and better still,
he proved his statement by being unusual
ly brief for commencement orator. Not
only that but what he had to say was of
unusual interest to all who looked forward
to better day, due somewhere ahead Of
the Millennium.
The new world Prot. Todd would
have built by the graduates Of today and
tomorrow is world of Service. He
woulo have the old idea of "Everyman
for himself and the devil take the hind
most" transformed into the slogan of
Each for ALL and ALL for Each.
He urged upon the class the necessity
of realizing that an intelligent selfishness
is the quickest way of reforming the
world; in other words, that to realize
that no one can be truly we'll off until all
are considered and that our happiness
and well-being depend wholly upon the
happiness and well-being of all about
us, not solely upon what comes to each
Of us individually in the way of success
or good luck. He reminded the class of
all the things that need looking after in
the modern world that each man may
have fair chance to come into his own.
He told of social work to be done along
with the mere endeavo- o. making ones
own way in the world and pointed out
to them the need of glirnpsing these
things now at the start of their careers
so that they might be sure Of getting
right start, both women and men. His
talk was very good and was attentively
listened to by all.
The presentation of the diplomas and
another song by the Girls Glee Club
completed the exercises and opened the
door for the Class of '16 to step out into

EXPECT RADICAL CHANGE
Northwestern Abandons Announced
Schedule of New Trains But
Contemplates Changes

Service on the Northwestern will re-
main unchanged for the present, accord
ing to advices received by Agent Starr
last week and the changes in time, in
stallation of new trains and abandonment
of others as had been planned, will not
occur for the present. While no reason
is given for the change in the plans of the
railroad company it is believed that
business men along the St. Peter branch
and the business men of Mankato were
the ones to protest. Mankato, no doubt,
did not relish the idea of becoming way
station instead of the terminal of the
Chicago Flyer, which service the rail-
road company had planned to extend
as far west as Tracy.
Although railroad officials in this city
have no word of another contemplated
change information from other reliable
sources is to the effect that the North
western is contemplating an entire re-
arrangement of it's time table and train
service. Rumor has it that the present
service from Mankato to New Ulm via
Kasota will be abandoned entirely and
that two daily trains now in service on
that branch will have a more extended
run, either from Waseca to Tracy or
Winona to Tracy, connecting at Kasota
with the Omaha and running a
stub from Mankato to Burdette
formerly Mankato Junction). 1t is
said that the traffic out of Mankato
does not warrant the present service, as
most of the traffic comes from the east
and west and only uses Mankato as
transfer point. Should this change go
into effect the entire train schedule,
even including the night trains, will be
rearranged.
1t is hoped that the schedule in effect
several years ago, when good train service
was given the people along the branch
es west of New Ulm, may be reestab-
lished. The transportation committee
OF the Commercial Club is keeping in
touch with the situation and will see to
ity that the interests of New Ulm are
properly protected and cared for.

Where Germany is Alive

Germany IS still the marvel of the
world not only in the trenches but in
the management of its public utilities,
its farming, its civic life and in its
vast industrial activities. Everything
is husbanded for efficiency With peace
perhaps now not far &C it will be in
teresting to see how Germany will
wing herself into the made in Ger.
many habit again. 1t must be re-
membered, too, that no German factory
has been devastated by the armies OF
the enemy On the other hand. much
OF the factory district OF France and
Belgium is a mass OF ruins. The allied
nations are finding tonnage rates upon
the ocean growing daily higher be-
cause of the German submarines. Mean
while German ships are tied up at the
decks. except in those cases where
they have been taken over by foreign
governments, as in the instances OF
Spain and Portugal. At the end of the
war Germany will have both factories
and ships.
