STORY OF "THE EAGLES
WINGS"

Party lines were obliterated in a
Congressional fight upon the question
of National preparedness; both law,
making branches were engaged in q daess--.lY
perate battle for and against the May
nard Bill. Senator Wright, wealthy
manufacturer Of pumping machinery,
is among those bitterly opposed to the
measure Richard Wallace, foreman Of
Wright's foundry ;and, in love with Mona
Wright, is an enthusiast on the subject
of preparedness both industrial and
militant.
Washington is alive with secret lobbies
but Orlin Dagore and Theirs, diplo-
mats representing foreign governments;
are leaders of the silent opposition backed
by unlimited funds and the ambition
of their rulers to prevent influential
support from coming to the aid of May
nard in passing his preparedness meas
ure.
Senator Wright is Chairman Of the
Committee that has in charge the May
nard Bill, discussing the measure be-
fore presenting it to the Senate for
vote. Wright has sent Wallace to
his sons ranch in New Mexico to in-1
stall a pumping plant, and when young
Wright wires an invitation for his
father and sister to visit the Wright
ranch, the Senator adjourns the ses-
sions of his committee indefinitely and:
leaves for the West.
While Wright is on his sons ranch,
Mexican bandits make raid, attack
ing the Wright ranch and compelling
Wright, his son and Wallace to fight for
their own lives and to protect the women
on the ranch. This attack. awakens
iSeantor Wright to the need of pro-
tecting army and he at once wires the
Secretary of War to send troops to
protect the border. The War Office
responds that it has no army to send.
Thoroughly aroused by the neces-
sity for adequate military prepared
ness Senator Wright returns to Wash
ington, switches to vigorous support
of the Maynard Bill and in fiery speech
before the Senate; swings; enough OF
the opposition to support the measure
and pass it by large majority. The
diplomatic spies report to their govern
!, ment that although the bill is passed
it will take years to realize it's require
ments in actual practice, and advises
that certain demands upon the United
+ States be made forthwith.
Believing that the United States ii
it's unprepared condition must submit
to foreign mandates, the diplomats
present their demands and an extra
ordinary condition at once arises. The
! United States is, apparently unpre.
pared; should war be declared the dip.
lomats believe that this country will
be defenseless.
Wallace, through Senator Wright's
influence, is called before the President
and his cabinet and there the foundry
foreman presents his plans for the
co operation Of every American foun-

cat the farewell banquet given us
seven months ago, in this roem," Major
Pfaender continued, when we were
leaving for Fort Smelling, there seemed
to be not such solemn air as apparently
prevails here tonight" $50 -
The major said he would have to tell
the truth about Captain Groebner and
explode some of the bubbles that the
captain had built up about his company
of which he was so proud. Regarding
the two ambulance passes the Captain
said he issued, Major Pfaender said he
caught the captain when he issued them,
but they were to couple of Co. A boys
who wished to visit beer garden in tn :
vicinity, and not for ambulance servic,
at all. Major Pfaender declared that tt,
time is not far distant when there will,
be universal military training prescribed
so that the duty will not fall upon few
who are willing to make the sacrifices
and let the others escape. " .
Compliments Officers.
All of the officers of the New Ulm
companies were complimented and
praised by Major Pfaender, for their
good work and loyalty during the entire
campaign. In referring particularly to
Captain Hofmeister, the major said the
people of this city should appreciate the
loyalty of the band leader, who with his
two sons took the federal oath and went
south with his Organization, which meant
great personal sacrifice to him.
He recalled that when the boys left for
the south he had hoped the troops from
New Ulm would return with as good
health as when they left. This hope
