The comforting knowledge that
predictions are only occasionally
fulfilled, may be treasured in
reading the various conflicting
opinions now appearing in maga-
zines and papers regarding the
outcome of the European war, and
its effect on the industry of the
United States.
Just as reminder of dire pre-
dictions unfulfilled, turn back in
memory to the claims that were
so startlingly made only four
years ago regarding the impend-
ing death Of the sheep industry.
if compelled to face tariff for
revenue only. The cataclysm
came. The tariff for revenue
came. The sheep faced it. The
following editorial in last Sun
days Spokesman-Review shows
how the sheep emerged with
more honor than the prophets:
Moscow farmers last Friday
had the privilege of hearing an
address from an expert on sheep
and wool. Members of the Uni
versity of Idaho also gave the
farmers the benefit of their scien-
tific knowledge, while success
full rearer of fine sheep supplied
the practical information. 1t
appears that the first desideratum
for becoming g cd raiser of
sheep is to love the business.
With this and an equipment which
need not cost much Dean 1ddings
declared that sheepraising can be
successfully undertaken in Idaho.
j. M. Fisk confirmed this view
with the statement that for six
years his flock of Oxford sheep
has annually netted a profit Of
100 per cent. 1t should seem as
if the farmers of the Inland En-
pire would do we'll to turn to this
branch of husbandry.
A considerable effort is being
made by two factions in this state
to enact a bone-dry liquor law
which will prevent shipments of
liquor to individuals. One fac
ton is composed of those favor
ing the liquor interests who de-
sire to see a law so drastic that
it will eventually overturn the
present liquor regulations. The
other faction is composed of those
self constituted reformers who
believe that total prohibition is
the most important thing in life.

Wednesday April IS, 1917.
Entered as Second Glass Matter at the Post
office at New Ulm. Minnesota

If all the news published by the Brown
County Journal is as accurate as that it
publishes about the Review, then, indeed,
the Journal is very valuable news
medium for those who are not particular
whether they get the facts or not. The
item published last week in the Journal
concerning the coming OF Mr.. +. c.
Lewis to New Ulm to take a position on
the Review is absolutely without ,founda-
ton and the Journal made no effort what
ever to learn the truth of the matter.
Mr.. Lewis is not coming to New Ulm to
take position. Mr.. George H. Miles
is the editor of the Review and we expect
to retain his services until he finds some
position which suits him better. AS he
is making no effort to locate anything
different at this time we have no reason
to anticipate any change in the editorial
force of the Review.

EXAMPLE OF NEW ULM


Commenting on the statement by
Representative ALI. w. Mueller in the
House Of Representatives, Saturday,
relative to the loyalty Of New Ulm, the
Minneapolis journal says:
New Ulm is fairly typical of German
American sentiment the Country over.
It is a community founded and peopled
by men Of German blood, and its SYM
pathies for race brethren who are fight
ing in Europe have been entirely natural.
But it is just as American as any other
community. When America declares
its position and takes up its share of the
war burden, the men Of New Ulm are
Americans and nothing else.
1T is bitter thing for the German
American to fight against his blood
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1917-04-18

sensitiveness and reckless war discussion
the title of that poem is readily recalled
to mind; and it is gratefully remembered
that during the dark, doubtful days OF
the great civil war in the United States,
there were gallant German officers, like
General Carl Schurz and General Franz
Sigel, fighting to the limit Of their power
to preserve the American Union. Com
ing nearer home, let us not forget Colonel
Bobleter and Colonel Pfaender, Of New:
Ulm, both Of whom fought valiantly and
long in response to the call Of President
Lincoln; and thousands of other German
soldiers. who voluntarily risked their
lives and suffered years Of privation in
order that the Union of the United States
might remain one and inseparable, then
and forevermore. Uncle Sam may just
now wisely mediate on the debt of
gratitude he owes to those German sol
diers for their assistance at that critical
period in our nations history, and it is
well enough to pause at this time and
recount their deeds of valor and their
voluntary acts Of self-sacrifice. Lest We
Forget - a Z.
There are a lot Of other loyal German
Americans living in New Ulm and Brown
county, who fought just as valiantly as
any Of the others, who should not be,for-
gotten when it is whispered around that
the Germans don't love their country.

Balks at CENSORSHIP

Tribune BGlks at Censor ship 81
The Chicago Tribune, even with its
strong militarist principles, serves notice
on Congress that it will not obey a
censorship law, if one is passed, which
will forbid not only military secrets, but
exposures Of incompetence. ..As far as
the Tribune is concerned" the editorial
says, ''it welcomes sensible censorship. .
It is probable that the .Tribune's utter
iances are'in vain. It will hardly find any
censorship that will be sensible one.
That the obnoxious character of one
feature of militarism is already apparent
to strong militarist organ is hopeful
sign. The Tribune may yet realize the
tyrannical nature OF the whole program
it has been so dil.gent in preaching.

Before we were in war the Boche
loathers did their country a considerable

Why The Djst1nction9

Under the pending army bill Quakers
are specifically exempt from military
service. While this is a well-deserved
compliment the one sect that has not
weakened in adherence to the Christian
doctrine of peace, it was not inserted for
such purpose. If, it had been then
conscientious DIRECTORS not connected
with church devoted to peace, would
have been exempt also. But militarists
realize the futility of trying to overcome
by force such steadfast unity in devotion
to principle as the Quakers have shown
{ Directors outside the church lack,
or are supposed to lack, the strength
which organization gives to passive
resistance; so their principles will not
be respected. The Quakers may point
With iustifable pride to their exemption

efficient peaceful methods, and offer it
as an example Of what similar methods
could accomplish in much broader fields,

Special Letters Coming

The Reviews special correspondent,
Lou D. MacWethy is now in Porto Rico
and the Danish West Indies gathering
material for ten instructive letters on
"Uncle Sans New Possessions which
will shortly make their appearance in
these columns. They will be brim full
of interest at this time when the atten-
ton of this nation is turned towards pre-
paredness, protection of American COM
merce and Pan-Americanism. How
many can answer the following question:
l. What bearing has the possession
of the Danish West Indies on the pro-
lection of the Panama Canal?
2. Does the Constitution of the Unit
ed States cover Porto Rico and the
Danish West Indies?
8. Now that we have purchased the
Danish West Indies, are the inhabitants

the United States?s If not what is their
political status? 81
4. What is the difference between a

5. Name our colonial possessions;

LEST WE FORGET MEN WHO

Editor of the Open Forum:

The Springfield Advance, in it's issue
of last week printed a very timely
editorial, taking for its text the title Of
one Of Rudyard Kipling's best known
poems, Lest We Forget" and reminds
those who would at this time criticize
those Germans who are now opposed to
the United States going to war. There
seems to be strong disposition on the
part Of the press and great many people
to assume that the. German people are
prone to uphold the flag Of their adopted
country, while the reading Of a little.
history might cause the critics to change
their minds. The Advance says:

"All The Traffic N7s1l Bedr''

The Christian Science Monitor is
authority for the statement that thru
out the United States and Canada,
where the agitation which has resulted
in the determination to plant thousands
Of door-yard gardens is most noticeable,
the price Of garden seeds have advanced
from Is to 200 per cent.
OF course these seeds have no more
intrinsic value than they had six months
ago. The rule to s'charge all5the traffic
will bear" is apparently being applied,
not because there are not enough seeds
to supply the demand, but because many
of the people will pay any price that
many be asked.
1t is fact to be remembered, in times
like these, along with so many other
commodities, potatoes, for instance,
selling at three times their normal price,
that no one has discovered an actual
shortage in the United States. The
man or woman with the money is evil
IDENTIFY able to buy in any quantity;
then they usually go home and ''talk"
about the "high cost of living" and let
it go at that.
In the meantime congress hears of
these things, orders an investigation"
tells the public what it has heard about
how it is being robbed, after which
prices are given another boost. There
the matter ends until another investiga-
ton is ordered.

Who Is Eberoso1a

Who Is EberYa1aa 81 II
One w. B. Eber1nan, who intimates
that he knows all about New UlmE and
the people Of this prosperous Southern
Minnesota towns, has written a letter to
a Freeport, Ill, paper in which he
chooses to make the most disparaging
remarks that he can conceive of the
people of the two towns, and especially
50 of New Ulm. It's all because the
people chose to vote that they did not
want war. It is evident that Mr.. Eber-
man, whoever he is, does want war,
especially if some one else will do the
fighting. It's dollars to doughnuts that
he will keep his own hide clear.
A paragraph in the communication
says:
'"sNew Ulm has been known for more
than three-score years as the incubator,
the seat of refuge Of infdels, agnostics
and freethinkers; always being reckoned
as Goddess city,
AS there are six churches, most of them
with large congregations, another about
to be built, and preparatory theological
college here, Mr.. Eberman's statement is
decidedly barren of truth. As it was
necessary for the fellow to resort to at
least one barefaced untruth to get by
with his attempt to libel New Ulm, the
rest Of his article may be taken for what
it is worth. .s;
| Inquiry among the older residents
fails tolocate anyone here who had Fever
seen or heard Of this fellow Eberman.' 5
