New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1917-12-12

In a quaint little old-fashioned public
square in Amiens, France, under a
group of stately linden trees, lie the
mortal remains of Jules Verne, one
of literatures greatest imaginative gen.
fuses.
In a hotel near this hallowed spot,
French and British generals worked
out the strategic details of the great
Somme offensive that started July
1,1916--the day that marked the be-
ginning of the Allies supreme attempt
to bend back the. armies of the Kaiser
and free northern France from the
invader. poo.
Hundreds of thousands of Anglo
French troops marched through the
streets of Amiens day after day before
the smash started, preparatory to this
greatest military advance in history.
Few of the fighting men were aware
of the humble grave under the linden
trees--the grave that contained the
dust of the man"~of letters who half
a century before foresaw the titanic
struggle in which they were engaged.
Verne died of broken heart,
soured on the world that did not under
stand him. 1t was he who predicted
the submarine, the implement of de-
struction that has left across the pages
of 7 history shadow that time cad
never efface. He it was who predicted
the havoc that the undersea boat
would Wreak. He it was who looken
down through the mists of time and
saw the memorable cruise of the
deutschland in the summer of 1916.
Like many another genius, Verne was
misunderstood and ridiculed by the
public. His 100000 Leagues Under
The Sea- that immortal epic of the
deep was the reason. Because he
thought half a century, sahead of his
time he was called a. dreamer and a
idealist. His submarine Nautilus, con
sidered by our fathers spreposte
dream, has become a terrifying reality
This generation is learning with bitter
ness that Verne's 100000 Leagues
Under The Sea" was prophetic Wis.

!. Holiday Remembrances.

No doubt the people at home are
thinking of sending something to the
soldier boys. An official list has been
made out for the convenience If such
as a kind Of suggestion as to W, at
would be the best adapted to the soldier
life. Here is the list:
r Candy, cake and fruit but better
still, jam, Jelly and peanut butter:
Soap which fathers quickly and has
healing properties Oatmeal soap is
best. Tar and glycerine soaps are
also good.
Set Of three bags to go inside sol
dier's duffle bags to serve as draw
,, ers.'' One of these, size Of laundry
bag, for shirts, etc:, one smaller for
handkerchiefs. gloves, and ETC., and the
third about twelve inches long for
soap, comb, tooth brush, shaving out
| fit, etc.
Towels Of linen or cotton without
fringes or fanciness, and hemmed cot
ton dish towels One big Turkish bath
towel would be a luxury.
Razor. A good saftey with metal
lie case in case the soldier does not
like and use one Of the regular ladbe
raZors.
Shaving outfit. Shaving powder is
preferred to cake or cream. It keeps
i cleaner and is less liable to get unused
around. The same is true of tooth
powder. Talcum powder Without scent
or color but with a healing property
, is the best for the soldiers.
Foot powder is decidedly refreshing
for tender feet.
Tooth brush holders and soap box
es made of aluminium and with tight
fitting covers are valuable.
aluminium combs and steel mirrors
are useful.
Magazines, scientific, humorous and
good fiction are always appreciated.

GENEROUS RESPONSE ID APPEAL FOR AID
Jewish War Sufferers to Be Aided By Local Co.,
 Religionists

At the mass meeting held in the syna- gog Knesseth Israel yesterday afternoon over 5000 was raised as relief fund for the suffering Jews of Poland. The meeting was well attended and many eloquent appeals were made for funds for the relief of the Jewish noncombat- ant war sufferers. The appeals met with generous response and as Frank Abel son. chairman of the board. expressed 1t. "we are much pleased with the results of the meeting. We collected $510 in cash and have quite number of gem erous pledges, with prospects of others. But the need Is urgent and we hope to raise a fund sufficient to show that we are alive to the situation and ready to do our part.'
 Five committees were appointed to att tend to the work of collecting the money pledged and the other work incidental to sending 1t to the proper authorities Several heartfelt speeches Sroused the audience to enthusiasm and the con tributions were secured in a short time
 Probably the most eloquent talk of the meeting was made by Arthur Her. man. whose address was an enumera- ton of the trials and slfferings of the Jews in Poland, Austria and Hungary who. though having no part in this war, have been made to bear the brunt of the suffering to the extent that only the people of Belgium can sympathize with them. Another strong talk was made by Rabbi Mendelssohn. while Max Rose man, chairman of the commission. also made strong appeal.
 Five-minute talks were made by H. Abramson. M. Goldstein and others. The meeting was decidedly success from every standpoint. and much good is ex- pected to result from the work of the several committees appointed
