Christmas FIRE M e,sdces

CklTlSt11elS F1fe ~ eNQce
There are two holidays during each
twelve-month when the fire menace
becomes serious because Of the nature
of the celebrations arranged. Fourth
of July fires and Christmas Tree fires
were once very serious affairs and also
very frequent. The sane Fourth Move
ment has done away with many Of
the firecracker conflagr ations and there
is an easy way to prevent all Christmas
tree troubles. The electric lighting Of
public Christmas trees should be OBJ
.ligatory in all cities where it is possible,
as it is here. The expense is but little
more than the expense of candles if one
considers the damage done by wax
1drippings on floor and clothing. With
electric lights the Christmas trees can
be safely decorated with all the silver
and tinsel and fluffy snow, all the glitter
and shine and glow that one can pack
on them without danger to the tiny tots
in their eagerness to get near the joys
suspended before their eyes. Don't
use candles, as you value the lives of
those nearest and dearest to you, mothers
and fathers Of New Ulm.

It seems to be popular sport to bait
the Review, but why 60 out OF town to
secure medium of expression? There's
the "Open Forum in the Review which
was established for the one and only
purpose of giving readers chance to
express their opinions. Why not tell
us just what you think of Review
opinions in an open letter to the public
if you like, to be published in the
Reviews Open Forum? There's just
one, no two, restrictions; you must not
be profane and you must sign your
name. All, there's the rub! Those
who oppose us find it difficult to refrain
from shattering the third command
ment and out Of half dozen vituper-
ative communications received by us
the past summer not one of the writer's
had the courage to sign his, or her, name.
This does not look to us like straight
forward manliness. 1t looks like person
al vindictiveness, and that to us seems
very silly in the light of the big things
Of today.

Wednesday Dec. 5. 1917.
Ente, ed as Second Class Matter at the Post
office at New Ulm. Minnesota
Finding a Scapegoat

AS was generally foreshadowed
Governor Burnquist on Saturday issued
an order removing DR.. L. A. Fritsche
from the office of Mayor and Maj. Albert
Pfaender from the Office of city attorney
of the city of New Ulm. In view OF
the fact that both these gentlemen were
willing to resign their respective offices
and had rendered their designations to
the city council of the city OF New Ulm,
their removal at this time will not come
as a thunderbolt from the clear skies.
AS far as DR.. Fritsche is concerned he is
better off without the Office. To such
a busy man as he is, the duties OF the
office of Mayor were more or less OF an
agerayation. For Major Pfaender it
means only the loss OF the salary that
goes with the office and is not OF sufficient
moment to cause him any sleepless
nights.
Their removal from office has not hurt
these gentlemen in any way in the
estimation of the people at home. We
think as much of them as we did before,
possibly even little more, because we
cannot escape the feeling that they were
made the scapegoat of condition for
which the sensational press of the State
was largely responsible.
How it can be construed into malfeas-
ance in office for a Mayor to preside
at a lawful assembly of citizens is simply
beyond us. But it is claimed that the
Mayor listened to speeches that could
be construed as seditious and traitorous
and that for that reason he should be
removed. 1t was not for anything
that he said himself. Following these
arguments to a logical conclusion, would
it not be quite as proper to remove the
Governor of the State from office be-
cause he also happened to sit on plat
form in the city of New Ulm where
language was used by one of the speakers
which was highly infammatory and
tending to riot and bloodshed, without
raising his voice in protest and without
making any effort to stop the speaker?
But that, we presume, is horse OF a
different color.

A Chrastmast5de Truce

Cnce mere Old Earth rolls on it's way,
nearing tie most blessed Of all seasons

So universally beloved is the Christmas
SEES son in all Christian lands that even
the warning forces over seas have each
year as Christmas day daWned, called

the Prince Of Peace. The Christmas
spirit has been allowed sway FIR twenty

s'Tommies" have forgotten their race

Ignoring the fact that on the morrow
they would again be at each others
Threats neither giving or seeking mercy.
The joyous love and comradeship that
comprises the spirit Of Christmas fills
their hearts and drives from their minds
all thoughts of anything but friendship
and brotherhood,
=, Nothing can withstand the Christmas
spirit once the deer of the heart is
opened to let it in for the Christmas
spirit is the love Of ones fellow men
a thing universal, something which
cannot be stamped out of the human
cart, something which never dies.
Christ was the embodiment of love

If love between man and man. Ever

his spirit must lie very real thing be

Breakers Ahead

From present indications it would
appear that the Public Safety Com
mission has struck their first real snag.
| It will be remembered that in the recent
street railway strike in the Twin Cities
the Safety Commission ordered the
street railway men back to work and.
insited that the street railway company
take back all who had gone out on strike
AS prerequisite to taking them back
the street railway company insisted that
the union men refrain from wearing
their union buttons while on duty.
This the Safety Commission acquiesed
in, but the men affected felt otherwise
about it and refused pointblank to
comply with this portion Of the order.
"A conference was held the other day.
to get the disputants together but with
out avail. Even the Trades & Labor
Assemblis Of the Twin Cities took
hand in the affair. backing up the union
men in the stand they take. The
matter is now being referred to the us.
Labor Commissioners for arbitration and
final decision. Governor Burnquist who
is the head Of the Public Safety Com
mission Of the State admits that the.
Commission has no legal means at hand
with which to enforce the orders recently
given. Since then the city council of the
city Of Minneapolis held a session and
with only one dissenting vote declared
themselves on the side of the union men
and indirectly censured the Safety
Commission. In st. Paul the legal
end of the city administration is digging
up old ordinances which they believe
will give them the right to take over and
operate the street car lines if the traction
company is unable to give the people the
service they are entitled to. All of
which looks decidedly interesting to us
who live in the country The frank adj
mission of the Safety Commission that
they cannot always enforce orders they
may issue is indeed refreshing. If the
little incident in the Twin Cities proves
nothing else, it does prove that it pays
to be organized.

The P. s. C.. Decision

After writing our Christmas Truce
editorial we can't very well say u1l-
pleasant things about the Public Safety
Commission CT the State of Minnesota,
can we? We are not even supposed to
think unpleasant things, are we? At
least not until after Christmas is over.
The truth is we have thought a great
many uncomplimentary things, and
said them too, about the F.. S. c., same
as we do about the H. G. L.. Both are
more or less of a nuisance, but they
must be endured, we suppose; and SO
the best thing we can do is to forget
them, and go serenely about our business
of being happy in spite Of them. We
haven't the slightest doubt that DR..
Fritsche and Major Pfaender will be
quite as contented Christmas Day as
tho they were still officers of the City of
New Ulm. And being happy and con-
tented counts for lot more than the
P. S. c. knows and it's something they
can't disturb to any great extent in New
Ulm altho they have managed to make
themselves quite prominent in the state.
Merry Christmas, even to you, gentle
men! We hope you will get as much
Joy out Of the Christmas Tide as New
Ulm will.

that IS foully wrong. But hope is hard
to kill and if one could not hope even in
the midst Of the present world catas-

that the end of all might be at hand.
just now the powers forbid US to hope
Tor peace Let Us then hope that out
OF this awful confagration will arte

Of course, it isn't California, but who

we had it here at home.

FiiUe-Mile "Dry" Areas for
Three Long Island Camps

Liquor dealers located within a ra-
dius of five miles from Camp Upton,
Yaphank, L. J., or Camp A. l.. Mills
and the aviation camp at Mineola, l..
J., must close their places of business.
Assistant United States Attorney Henry
Ward Beer, acting under instructions
from United States Attorney France, Of
Brooklyn, issued formal notice to that
effect yesterday.
That there might be no confusion
regarding the exact status of the mil
itary camps located on Long Island,
the Eastern Division sought a ruling
from Colonel G. c. Dodds. judge ad-
vocate. He has decided that all three
camps come within the classification
of military reservations specified by
President Wilson on May 10 as having
been established for the mobilization
of the men who will eventually COM
pose the new National Army.
The action Of District Attorney
France was taken as the result Of re-
ports freely circulated that many Of
the liquor dealers did not believe they
would be- affected by the Presidents
regulations.

40 of 224 Draft
Appeals Allowed;
Board Sets Record

The district draft appeal board broke
all previous records yesterday in pass
ing on 254 cases in three hours. OF the
224 appeals from the decisions of the
local boards in refusing exemption, only
forty were sustained.
Eleven of thirty original applications
for industrial exemption were granted
for period of six months. one of these
being the first agricultural claim al
lowed.
The applicant was John Irving, jr..
son of the sexton of All Souls Church,
who said he was superintendent Of his
fathers farm OF 10 acres. at Wap-
pingers Falls. y. Y. He said that
owing TO the scarcity of farm labor it
was necessary for him personally to
harvest the crops. He was granted
six months respite, in order that the
crops might not be wasted.
Another unusual case was that Of
Abraham Klein, who sought exemption
because he had been convicted Of
felony and had served thirty months
in prison. Klein, it was found. had filed
two appeals. both from Local Board SO,
but mad gwen QlUerenL SeEldl HuIHDtr
in each case. The first appeal had been
denied and he had been certified for
the army, as there was not sufficient
proof TO back his first claim.
Questions Petitioners Feracity
One Of the members voted TO let the
matter stand, as the man already was
certified, but this was strongly OBJ
iected to by Meier Steinbrink.
81 do not believe this type OF man IS
wanted in the American army" said
Mr.. Steinbrink. 1--WE do not know what
felony he committed. and it may have
been something that would wholly unfit
him to associate with decent Ameri-
cans"
Justice Ingraham said man who
would put forward such claim for eH-
emption could not be believed. and the
matter was referred 70 a committee for
further investigation.
There were a number of cases OF men
who have been married since the dec
laration of war. and the claims of these
were generally denied. One Of these
denials was to William Allen. who was
married on April IS.
