New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1917-09-12

existing today, the following iinfor
nation which comes from authentic
sources may be Of interest:
" Germany is confederation Of four
kingdoms. six grand duchies, five duchies,
seven principalities, three Free Cities
and one territory twenty-six States
in all.
Each State reserves its own territorial
sovereignty over local affairs, as do our
States, and has its own sovereign and
representative assemblies. It is only
in. his own hereditary Kingdom Of
Prussia that the German Emperor has
territorial sovereignty.
"The Kaiser is not even Emperor Of
Germany. The Constitution Of 1870
made the title German Emperor, with
the express intention of defining the
Kaiser as merely "primus inter pares"
first among equals in confedera-
ton Of territorial sovereigns.
The executive power of the German
Imperial Government is lodged in the
Kaiser exactly as we lodge it in the
President.
"The legislative power of the German
Imperial Government is in the hands of
the Bundesrat and the Reichstag, which
correspond to our Senate and House
of Representatives; the Bundesrat
like our Senate being composed of men,
bers (ity-eight in number) who represent
the States, and the Reichstag like our
House of Representatives being COM
posed of popular representatives elected
by universal suffrage. s.
Like our President, the German
Emperor represents the confederation
in it's foreign relations, appoints Am
bassadors, negotiates treaties and can
make peace, but cannot declare offensive
war without the consent of the Bundles
rat corresponding to our Senate.
"All the German States have separate
legislatures like our State Legislature
and legislate for themselves.
Prussia has only II of the SO MEM

not remove any member save those APP

Stood bg NeW Ulm

The story has come here of how a
well-known woman resident of New
Ulm compelled hot air loyalty orator
at a public meeting in neighboring
town, to back water and retract some
of the slanderous statements that he
had made regarding this city and its
citizens.
After the New Ulm woman had
listened to the harranguew until patience
ceased to be virtue she walked up to
the platform, took the speaker by the
hand, to prevent his sneaking away,
and read him a lecture on the subject
of honesty and fairness that he viii
probably never forget. The result was
that the fellow meekly offered an apology.
It is needless to say that this incident
was not reported in any Of the daily
newspapers accounts of the meeting.
Another indecent, but which has never
appeared in print, has recently come to
light. A resident of this city, a promi-
nent business man, while on an eastern
trip, was quietly reading his morning
paper, when loud-mouthed 'paatriot,"
standing up in the car made the bald
statement that any man, now in this
country, whether naturalized citizen
or not, is naturally and from the very
nature of things, spy for the Imperial
German government.
The New Ulm man laid down his
newspaper, and stepping in front of the
speaker said:
II was born and brought up in German
II was born and brought up in
Germany, but have long been resident
of the United States. All that I have
was made in this country, and any man
that calls me German spy has 60 to
fight. What are you going to do about
it,"
The fellow promptly backed down and
offered the humblest apology that could
be imagined.
If there were more like these two
New Ulm people the habit of slandering
this city and people would become less
popular.

What Does 1t Mean?

The following questions were asked
the Review recently: What percentage
of drafted men are asking exemption?
We hear all over Minnesota that seventy
five per cent are showing their resistance
to the draft by entering claims for
exemption but nothing has appeared
so far to say whether this is condition
existing only in Minnesota, or does it
likewise obtain elsewhere? And if the
same condition exists the country over
what does it mean?"
The Review is not in possession of
actual figures to answer these questions
but in the September number of Current
Opinion, a very conservative New York
publication, appears the following state
ment under the heading: Difficulties
of the Draft. .
IF disturbances (due to the draft)
have been few, the percentage of claims
of exemption has been high. Students
of the military situation had at first
hoped that every two registrants would
yield on an average one enlistment.
The records up to the middle of last
month show that only one out of seven
or eight registrants has been willing to
give up his chance of exemption. Re
ports from seventeen scattered and
representative states show that after the
physically unfit have all been sifted out,
there are still 70 per cent Of the remain
der asking exemptions for other reasons. .
This information was gathered by
Current Opinion from the New York
Tribune.
What does it mean? is the next ques.
ton. There might be several answers
to that. One is that America objects
to the war on the face of it. The OBJ.
jections may be based on fear, on con.
viction that we are being made the
catspaw to pull the chestnuts out of the
fire for the Allies, on a belief that the
war has been brought about by the
money powers who are making vast
fortunes every day from its continuance
on conscientious objections" to whole
sale murder, and last but not least to {
conviction that the government should
exist for the people, not the people fol
the government. Many there are wit
| feel they have right to pursue thei
Town business without interruption >,

Writes ON Open Le'tsr

Frank F. Anderson OF st. Paul has
written an open letter to President
Woodrow Wilson, in which he says he
believes that those who are to go across
the water to be hurled into the European
holocaust, hosts of them never to re-
turn, should be privileged to address,
the President on the subject, witt out
being regarded as traitors nor towards
Mr.. Anderson says he has had special
opportunities of studying the political,
economic and cultural factors in the war,
and feels warranted in making his appeal
Ito the chief executive of the United
States, He says he makes his sug-
gestion as one who is neither coward,
a crank, nor an agent of the Kasier."
Mr.. Anderson, in his letter says in
part: -.~..
1.-THE aims of ourselves and the Allies
seem fairly we'll understood and agreed
upon. Those which have received most
public attention are (I to insure last
ing peace and to levy such indemnities
for reparative purposes as may be COM
patible with lasting peace, and (2), to
conserve and promote democracy in
both Allied and enemy countries. Two
other aims which have been less talked
about, but are still vitality important
are (3) the conservation of life and of
all the spiritual and material interests
of Western Civilization by as early a
peace as may be consistent with the
above purposes, and az, the conservation
of domestic order by stopping the piling
up of war debts and kindred problems,
watch stoppage only peace is likely to
bring.
Glow then shall these objects be at
tanned? Bearing upon the problem of
durable peace the present program of
Allied statesmen seems to contemplate
vast territorial changes and the levying
of reparative indemnities upon the
vanquished, which presumably will be
placed by their rulers as far as possible
upon the masses in the good old tradition
al way. It is limited that the Allies
would prefer to deal with more democratic
governments in the Central Empires
but there is no frank avowal whatever
of purpose to lay the economic burden:
on the classes chiefly responsible for tn,
war, namely the Junkers in German!
and the Magyar-German nobility il
Austria. The economic and politica
power of these classes would thus con
tinue as menace to peace, the Teutol
masses would be embittered and tn
territorial changes would offer NJ
guarantee whatever that the reconstitut
ed states might not themselves combin
to wage war whenever they saw fit.
eff the Allies would definitely renounc
territorial conquest now, they woul'
sa.rifce no real guarantee of peace b,
SO doing; and if in addition they woul'
promise to confscate the estates of tn
Junkers and Magyar mobiles and us
the rentals thereof to rehabilitate waste'

The Open Forum ]! !
SOME AFTERTHoUGHTs.

$ lTSC, new Olm Is loyal. How DO We
know? Why, the great daily papers of
st. Paul and Minneapolis have thus
proclaimed. At the present time, it is
their specific business to keep tab on
the loyalty or disloyalty Of certain COM
munities. When they said New Ulm
was disloyal, that settled the matter
for the rest of the world; it was not
necessary to prove it. Nothing had to
be shown in what manner the city had
heretofore failed to measure up to the
standard of loyalty. So it seems when
ever a few disgruntled politicians or
meddlesome busybodies want to blacken
the character Of community they pull
the strings and the papers inform us
of the dishonor of that place. Then
follows a spectacular display of loyalty,
the real leaders do the thinking and the
talking, and the edict goes forth that
now the city has received the official
stamp Of loyalty. Some people seem
to forget that loyalty is not merely a
matter of brass bands, and buttons,
and flags, but serious matter of the
heart and mind. / think, but we are
not supposed to do any thinking; the
papers and politicians and busybodies
do the thinking for us, and then tell
us what we must think.
Secondly, it was quite useless to in
form us at the meeting of Tuesday last
that soldiers Of the U. S. lad fought
in Canada, in Mexico, Cuba, and the
Philippines. We knew that. OF course,
those soldiers had been volunteers.
What we would like to know is this,
when, in the history of the U. S., did |
it happen that a conscripted or drafted
army, not volunteers, was compelled
to leave this country to fight on foreign
soil? Less waste of energy on we'll
known historical topics and more
efficiency in the discussion of new
issue is what we want.
Thirdly, 1 consider it an outrage to
have man like Mr.. Bowling of Olivia
appear as a speaker at a loyalty
meeting. His remarks were very UNI
patriotic and un-American. It was the
duty of the chairman at that meeting, |
to call Mr.. Bowling to order because he
openly advocated shooting and hanging
in defiance of all law and order. More
over, fail to understand how Professor
Hess, chairman of the safety COM
mission for Brown County, could con-
sistently speak to the chairman of the
meeting in behalf of Mr.. Bowling.
Neither should Governor Burnquist
nor acting-mayor Willibald Eibner, both
of whom sat on the same platform with
Mr.. Bowling, have tolerated this UNI
lawful harangue. Prompt interference
would have seemed but common justice
in view of the fact that DR.. Z. A. Fritsche
has been suspended from Office and has
never been given an official hearing.
At, the meeting of July 25th Mayor L.
A. Fritsche admonished everybody not
to do or say anything which might
mar the seriousness of the occasion.
Turnout the entire meeting he preserved
excellent order; for this he was sus-
pended from Office. His suspension
may have been good politics, but was it
fair?

all over Europe, they would
thus not only solve the. problem Of in
IDENTITIES and avoid embittering the
Teuton masses, but most important
of all they would permanently cripple
the classes in Germany and Austria
who have been and otherwise may con-
3tinue to be the chief menace to peace
there.
Such an economic revolution in
mid-Europe may not of itself insure
lasting peace, but one thing is certain:
There can be no such peace without it.
The key to peace is not in tinkering with
boundaries but in cripplng the dynasties
and their supporters who instigate war.
It is the social structure and not the
territorial limits of the central empires
that must be 'tborn again.
What about the conservation of
democracy? The Allies now propose
to beat Germany by force alone, a
method which will tend to exalt mill
tarism in the eyes of their own peoples,
just as the triumphs of the last two
centuries have exalted it in the eyes of
the Prussians. And militarisn, as all
history shows, is hostile to democracy.
Furthermore, Allied statesmen are
neither taking their own countrymen
into their confidence nor offering any
clear and positive encouragement to the
democratic forces among the enemy
with whom, as you have said: we
have no quarrel" And the prospect is
that peace will be re-established in a
secret conclave of diplomats, who as a
class, are notably suspicious OF democ-
racy. To transform democracy from
an amorphous phrase into a real and
definite promise victory" must be
achieved with the minimum of force
and be followed by peace conference
where every proposal of the diplomats
will be passed upon and accepted or
rejected by an assembly representative
of the various popular elements in every
belligerent country. Otherwise reaction
may ride rampant again in this twentieth
century, just as it did in Europe from
1915 to 1880 let no devotee to progress
fool himself for a moment about that.
What about the conservation of
human life and of all the higher interests
of civilization? The present tactics of
the Allies are calculated to inspire in the
masses Of the enemy only fear and
desperate resistance born of fear, and
in our ranks to ALLEVIATE those of humani-
tartan sympathies just as the Russians
have been hopelessly estranged already.
The result must be to brace the human
factor in German military efficiency and
to weaken it for the Allies.
Whereas, to publish to all the world
the frank and constructive declaration
here urged upon you would immensely
strengthen the moral prestige and soil
darity of the Allies, even if it never
reached the Germanic peoples. But
in so far as it reached them by news
paper, by pamphlets scattered from
aeroplanes or by word Of mouth, the re-
sulting impetus toward revolution in
Central Europe would inevitably shorten
the war-if the masses there knew that
they had none but their own rulers to
fear, the collapse of those rulers would
be a much nearer event. What is the
alternative? It is that America send
some six millions of her sturdiest citizens
to Europe, possibly third or half of
them to their last Sleep

rat has the permanent chairmarship 81
the Committee on Foreign Affairs of his
body. And furthermore, in order to
prevent Prussia frJm exercising too
large an influence on the foreign affairs
iof the empire, the composition Of the
,cemmittee mentioned is thus fixed by
the Constitution: Two members each
from Pavaria, Saxony and Wurternberg.
and two members selected by the Bum
deaat itself. It is, therefore, entirely.
possible that the Committee on Foreign
Affairs has no Prussian member at all
and il there are any, they are always in
the minority. This COMMITTEES Is of
great Importance, because, according to
Article II Of the Constitution, the en-
peror must have the assent of the Bun
desrat before he declares war. OF
course, the tplenum" of the Bundesrat
never takes up question unless sub
mitted to it by committee. The
question, whether to declare war, was,
therefore, decided by a committee, !
in which Bavaria presided and in which
Bavaria, Wurtemberg and Saxony had
a clear majority.
It may also interest your readers to
learn of the number of books that have
issued from the press of the United
States, France, Great Britain and Ger
many in the three years ending with 1915.

These figures ought to be of interest
to those who are advocating the abandon
ment of the teaching of German in our
public schools. Americans as rule are
poor linguists. We need more teaching
of foreign languages, and not less, in our
schools. We need more men and women
who can read or speak French, Spanish
and German. We need better acquaint-
ance with the lives and modes of
thought of other nations, as disclosed
by their languages and iteratures.
America cannot afford to eliminate
the study of German from her schools.
That language fills too large space in
the science, the philosophy and the
history of the world to be lightly dis
carded.

that it is one of the worst autocracies
