Says An Injustice Has Been Done
New Ulm.
Dr. Fritsche declared that New Ulm
had been done a great injustice in
the publicity given to the meeting, and
that had he known the meeting was to
be construed as it was afterward it
never would have taken place. On
cross examination, it was brought
out that he was in France in 1914,
when the war broke out, but managed
to get into Germany, and remained
there some weeks, visiting at Ham
burg, where lives a sister of Mrs.
Fritsche and of Albert Pfaender. He
also visited Berlin and other points.
He said he had first been asked to
preside at the meeting by one of the
drafted men, but had taken part in
conference to arrange the meeting.
He admitted that he, Pfaender and
Retzlaff really were responsible for
the meeting.
Pfocnder Is Witness.
Albert Pfaender, city attorney OF
New Ul-l. declared that his opinion
doubling the constitutionality of
sending forces to foreign battlefields
was formed after reading an article
in La Follette's Magazine.
Pfaender testified that, although
once he doubted such powers, he now
would advise as an attorney that con-
gress has such powers and that the
draft law must be obeyed to the letter.
: The taking of testimony closed late
yesterday afternoon with Pfaender. on
the stand insisting that he is loyal
and that a citizen might petition
congress not to send drafted men to
France to fight and still be patriotic.

WORDS OF THE
PATRIOTIC MOTHER
BY JAMES D. PRICE, CAMBRIA

Many hearts are sad and weary,
In our noble land today
For our sons are called to service,
Ger the ocean, far away; ...
Though we know they'll face the battle
And will meet a bitter foe;
Yet, we feel it is our duty, t.
To consent to let them go.
IT'S a time of serious crisis;
And our freedom is at stake;
There is danger from tyrant,
And we should be wide awake;
Many are the bounteous blessings,
Given you, and given me;
In return we should be loyal,
To this land of Liberty.
Our old flag has been insulted
BY that foe beyond the sea;
And we feel our obligation,
To protect and cling to thee;
Filled with patriotic spirit,
Are the boys upon the field;
And to treason and oppression;
They will never, never yield.
If that great imperial monarch,
On his throne beyond the sea,
Had the power, all our cities,
Soon in ashes they would be;
He would scatter desolation.
With his cannon shot and shell;
To what state of degradation.
We would sink no one can tell.
In the brain of that great Kaiser,
WILD, ideas have their birth;
He believes his sovereign power
Is to govern all the earth!
Such a tho't is vain and foolish;
What a greedy heart has he!
He is fighting for expansion,
And he claims he owns the sea!
Have we lost our love of country?
Can we shirk from duty's call?
Do We care if this Republic
To the hands of Despot fall?
Hank; / hear the millions shouting
We are loyal, one and all;
And this noble glorious Union,
From it's throne shall never fall.
Shall we share the joys and blessings,
OF this free beloved land;
And in time of need and trouble,
We decline a helping hand?
We enjoy the safe protection,
OF our flag on land and sea;
And today the flag is calling,
For support from you and me.
We are willing. we are ready,
And we go by million strong
All our hearts with zeal are burning,
For to help the cause along;
All our boys so true and gallant,
In the ranks will take their stand;
And to treason and oppression
They will lend a crushing hand.
The great cause for which they labor,
Is to save the human race.
From the bondage of oppression,
Brought about by Kaisers craze
They will reach the height of glory
When they whip that bitter foe
And will give that cruel Despot
And oppression their death blow.
While on foreign soil you larry,
Send linet so give me sjoy;
o! that line will be So precious,
From my wandering darling boy; .
And our prayers, for your protection,
We will send to God above;
And your nane1 Wen often mention,
Don't forget your mothers love.
The home circle will be broken,
Sad will be nthe vacant chair,
And the paths you used to travel,
Will be vacant every where;
Well we know the awful danger,
Of the battle andIthe Ishell;
From that bitter. bloody conflict
Who'll return. no one can tell!
We give greeting to our loved ones,
May God bless you from on high;
o, our hearts are touched with sadness
AS we bid our last "Good Bye''
Onward heroes on to victory;
Keep good courage as you roam, =
When the war and fight, is over,
Grand viii he vow sy'-etro,oe home
