Destroyer Fleet to Be Largest.

Arrangements were recently made for
completing very large number of de-
stroyers, in addition to the many already
under construction, and these, when fin
.ished, will give US the largest number of
destroyers of any navy in the world.
These destroyers are Indispensable for
warfare against submarines and for pro-
tecting our commerce and destroying the
commerce of our enemies. Formerly it
took twenty months to construct de-
stroyers. Arrangements are now made
for these to be constructed within ten
months
"An aircraft factory is being built and
the Navy Department is supplying itself
fully with the aircraft so much needed
''The Navy has been in continual train
ing since war was declared. and the rec
ords made by officers and men have been
exceedingly fine and most gratifying. a
large feet of destroyers has been sent to
aid our allies in Europe, and the largely
decreased loss in shipping from sub
marines attests to their efficient and sue

said today. praising the rapidity and
thorouehness with which the Navy has
rounded into shape for the war. He

since the declaration of war from 1s.ooo
to more than $4,000 by volunteer enlist

largely increased force was indeed a
great undertaking. and the department
is deserving of commendation for the
prornptness and efficiency with which il
has been done.

The company opened it's wholesale
grocery business in this city eight months
ago, and the officers express themselves
well pleased with the patronage so far
extended in this territory.
Work on the company's new building
is progressing rapidly at the present
time, altho the movement was retarded
early in the season, owing to the ina
ability of the contractors to secure
material as rapidly as needed.

NEW ULM BROWN COUNTY. MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, JULY
DEBS is BARRED
FROM PUBLIC SPEAKING

st. Peters Chautauqua opened Sun
day, July /, and will continue until next
Sunday, July 8. An excellent program
has been arranged and is being carried
out, with large attendance. Eugene
Y. Debs, who had been secured to de-
liver one of the lectures, has been fer
hidden by the Minnesota Safety COM
mission to deliver a public lecture in
this state. The St. Peter committee
was notified to that effect late last week.
Mr.. Debs was to have delivered the
Fourth of July address on the Chautau-
qua program. St. Peter people,
who had anticipated hearing a patriotic
address by Mr.. Debs feel that the Safety
commission has convicted him with
out trial.
The commission offered to send C. w
Ames, a member of that body to take
the place of Debs on the program, but
the offer was declined without ever
thanks. In fact the offer was con
sidered, according to the St. Pete1
papers, somewhat presumptuous on the
part of the commission.

ARTILLERY PLANS
STILL UNDER WAY
POSITIVELY ASSERTED THAT.
SECOND MILITARY UNIT
is FORMING
STATEMENT OF COLONEL MUIR
PLY NOT CONSIDERED OF
IMPORTANCE

There will be an Artillery company
in New Ulm. This statement has been
made positive by the men behind the
project, and they mean exactly what
they say. Colonel Murphy, who is to
be in command of the new artillery re,
gi1nent, National Guard, when he passed
thru the city a few days ago, left word
that he would not permit the organiza-
ton of a unit for the regiment here
hence there would be no artillery com
pany in New Ulm.
Artillery Growing
Colonel Murphy is a fine fellow and
a good soldier, one of the very best in
the Minnesota National Guard, but
there are some things a little beyond
him." said L. G. Vogel. 'sWe are or
ganizing an artillery company at the
present time. We have nearly ninety
men who have signed up. We are not
pushing the matter now and will not
until Company A has been recruited to
it's necessary strength, simply taking
those young men who offer themselves
to our company. We would not, under
any circumstances, do anything to re-
tard recruiting Of Company A, but as
soon as that organization has been COM
pleted we shall go ahead with the Or
ganization of the new unit. 1t may not
be a part of the National Guard of this
state, but guess if we offer the govern
ment an artillery company composed
of the very best young men in the city
of New Ulm it won't be turned down
very hard.
Have Mistaken Idea
There seems to be a disposition or
a feeling, on the part Of some Of the
citizens, especially those who are in
terested in recruiting Company A, that
the organization Of an artillery unit is in
opposition to their plans, or a move to
retard the growth Of the older company,
but this is not true.
1--WE are all proud Of Company A,
proud that this city is the home of the
oldest military organization in the state,
and would do all in our power to boost
it along. In these times, however,
when there is so much for all to do, and
so many are anxious to do their part,
it does seem to me that the
organization of a second company in
New Ulm is only showing our
loyalty. There are lot of young
men in. this city who do not want to
belong to the older organization, but
who would be glad TO join another COM
pany, and are especially DESTROYS Of
getting into the artillery branch of the
service.
Will Make An Offer
Capt. B. Groebner and other local
men voice tie same sentiments
as those of Mr.. Vogel.
eve will have an artillery company
and, will offer it either to the state or
to the federal government" said Captain
Groebner. IF tLey dent want it all
they will have to do will be to refuse

COMPANY A LIKELY
TO GO TO LUYERNE
CAPTAIN KLAUSE SUMMONED TO
ST. PAUL FOR A MILITARY
CONFERENCE
NEW ULM ORGANIZATION WILL
PROBABLY LEAVE HERE IN
A WEEK

New Ulm stands to lose Company A,
with probably no further delay. The
company, at least the title, company
paraphernalia, etc., will likely be trans
ferred to Luverne within few days.
Captain Adolph Klause received a mes
sage Monday summoning him to st.
Paul for a conference with the state
military board, with reference to the
situation in this city. He left for the
capital yesterday morning, and it is
felt here that tie transfer will be ordered
before his return.
Over Eighty Members
with the recruits that we have now
sworn in and examined and those to be
examined within the next few days,
there are now upward of eighty members
of the company said Captain Klause
Monday. eve have been handicapped
in many ways, or the company would
have been filled to war strength long ago.
We have a fine start, but there are not
enough to suit the military authorities and
I suppcse New Ulm will lose the company.
Our men that we have will be held as
reserves and I suppose will be used to
fill UP other companies. OF course I
do not know just what the outcome will
be until I have met the military board
in St. Paul tomorrow"
Criticise Colonel Mollison
Some military men here are of the
opinion that tie alleged hatred of
Colonel Mollison toward New Ulm has
had much to do with the situation.
Colonel Mollison has never lost a
chance to give New Ulm a dirty deal
since Colonel Buschers was elected
head of the Second regiment, outvoting
the clique headed by Mollison," said
one former member of the company.
New Ulm men were onto the colonel
years ago, and he knows what the ma
jority OF those who know him think of
him, and he now has an opportunity
to show his smallness, and it is too much
for him to pass up. Hence this city
loses Company A.
Governor Is Also Blamed
Governor Burnquist promised the
company to Luverne weeks or even
months ago." declared another military
man, and he has to make good. Since
Captain Klause has recovered sufficient
ly to be able to get out after recruits.
the company has been growing as rapidly
as could be expected under the circum-
stances. There is scarcely company
in the regiment that is making better
showing than Company A at the present
time. OF course the dissension among
the officers in the company has had
much to do with the slowness in re-
cruiting, However, except for the
premises that have been made to
Luverne Company A would have reached
the maximum strength as soon as many
Of the other companies in the Second
regiment
Before leaving for st. Paul yesterday
Captain Klause said the present mem
bers Of the company here would probably
be retained as reserves and used to
fill up other companies in the regiment.
They will probably be divided between
Mankato and st. Peter.
