United States. There was no necessity
at this time of discussing why the
United States was in the war, he said
But he incidentally referred to the
events which led up to the declaration
of state of war.
s'The greatest question before the
people now is whether or not differ
emit people are loyal to the govern
ment. The great heart Of the people
are loyal, but there are others who
are not.p'Mr. Palmer then referred to
the proposed meeting at New Ulm to
protest against the government, and
denounced such action in unmeasured
terms. He stated that he was glad to
say that mo such feeling prevailed In
Mankato but that the people here were
ready to do their utmost for the gov
eminent, and to help win the war. He
was very glad, he said, that Mankato
and SURROUNDING towns were sending
out such a splendid organization as
Company H to fight against autoc-
racy. He spoke in condemnation of
the postmistress in North Dakota who
had committed REASONABLE acts
against the government, and of The
New York Weekly which is urging
that so-called German-American SOL
diers should not be sent across the
water to fight Germany.
Not Pink Tea Affair.
Mr.. Palmer stated that he wanted
to impress upon the young men of the
company that they were not about to
engage. in. a pink tea or social func-
ton, but were about to enter a des-
perate struggle, in which they would
surely succeed because it was to
make the world safe place in which
to live. The present war is for freedom,
said Mr.. Palmer, and quoted the
words of Lincoln that the government
should be by the people and for the
people. The purpose of this war is to
uphold that principle. Mr.. Palmer said
he was satisfied that the soldier boys
were going into the struggle with
brave hearts and clean minds, and
felt sure that the Mankato contingent
would uphold the best traditions Of
the American soldier. He spoke of the
record made by Minnesota soldiers
during the Civil war, this state being
the first to offer regiment to Lincoln.
Everyone was proud of that record,
and Minnesota is now ready to take an
active and honorable part in the war.
Mr. Palmer said he was glad to note
that the Mankato boys were ready to
take mans part, and he drew atten-
tion to the generous and patriotic re-
Spouse which Mankato had made to
every call for patriots, the sale Of
Liberty bonds, and the $4,000 Red
Cross donations. He concluded with
the remark that no man dies in vain
in this struggle if America lives. Mrs.
c. H. Nerbovig, in behalf of Anthony
Wayne Chapter D. A. ar presented
Company H with a supply of comfort
bags made by the ladies, this pleasing
gift being greatly appreciated.
During the afternoon Company H
was entertained by program at the
fair grounds.
Various sports were on the program.
Mankato and Chaska ball teams en-
gagged in battle for honors.

well as under water has been invented
by Frank E. Kenny, 1926 East Thir-

government.
Frank W. Winn, close friend of the
inventor, said today that the torpedo
was tested recently by naval officials.
1t Travelled through the air for dis
tanee Of five and one-half miles, then
dropped Is feet under the surface of the
water, righted itself and went through
steel nets scattered at distances of 1900
feet apart over a course of one and a

was aimed.
Kenny has turned down an offer of
$4,000 for the invention from the Bii-
