Senator H. H. Bonniwell repre-
sented Mcleod county in the late
legislature. He voted with labor for
the suspension Of rules and final pas
sage of the anti-injunction bill.

He is one of the most democratic
men in the legislature, has a host of
friends, and is one of the best friends

cover of the truce which labor had
offered. Instead of meeting halfway
the patriotic sacrifice proposed by
the workers, these employers were at
tempting in every way to break down
existing safeguards to the condition
of the wage -earners, without the
slightest regard to the national crisis
or the willingness of labor just now
to forego its just demands.

Gompers and by President Johnston Of

SCORE OF U-BOATS ARE IN
GULF OF MEXICO, REPORT
Hitherto Unconfirmed Rumors Given
Support BY Advces From Europe
Shore Bases Suspected.

Washington, April 7.-Persistent
but hitherto unconffrmed reports of
German submarines waiting in the
Gulf of Mexico for the opening of hos
tilities with the United States have
been further supported by advices to
the government from Europe.
1t was reported at the source of
origin of the governments informa-
ton that more than score of German
submarines were already in Mexican
waters. Persons here who have been
giving attention to the subject think
the estimate of numbers high, but
feel no doubt that German submers-
ibles are somewhere on this side of
the Atlantic, most probably in Mexi-
can waters, and that some of them
have been there since early in Feb
ruary.
There is no doubt here that If the
U-boats are in the gulf they are being
supplied from Mexican shore bases.

Heavy Fighting in GaIicia.
HAVE RESPECT FOR u. S. ARMY
British Believe Americans Will Assist
Greatly.


British Headquarters in France,
April 7.-There is much speculation in
the British army as to what assist
ance, in military sense, America
might render the Allies. Regardless
of what theorists may say, practical
fighting men here believe that the
United States would want to have rep
resentation with the Allied army on
this front and send over a consider
able fighting force within six months,
provided the war lasts that long.
One basis for this belief is that both
Germany and Great Britain are fight
ing with new armies, Britain because
she did not have an army in the Euro
pean sense before the war began, and
Germany because her forces are large
Iy made up of classes called to the
colors since 1914, a large proportion
having only five months training. 1t
is generally figured now that good
soldier can be made within six months
and that America can easily meet that
emergency.

81 GERMAN SHIPS ARE SEIZED
MERCHANT CRAFT IN U. S. PORTS
TAKEN OVER.
Vessels Worth Millions One Is

ors Held as Reservists.

Washington, April z. - Seizure Of
the German merchant ships in Amer
lean ports, according to an officia
statement, are measures of safety fol
the ships themselves and adjoining
property. The crews aboard are re
garded as German reservists on Ger.
man territory.
Two Courses Open.
Two courses, it was said, are open
to the government. The ships may be
impressed into service and paid for at
the close of the war, or they may be
confiscated altogether without violat-
ing the terms of the Prussian-Ameri-
can treaty of 1928.
The first move probably will be to
repair the damage done to the ma
chinery of the ships by their crews
on orders of the German government
when diplomatic relations were sew
cred.
Transporting Ability Increased.
In selling the 81 German ships, the
United States acquired vessels pur-
posely built for conversion into auxil-
larry cruisers.
1t was learned at the department of
commerce that most of the passenger
ships are built as naval auxiliaries
with gun platforms, reinforced decks
and other equipment for offensive pur-
poses.
Officials said seizure of these ships |
has increased our transporting ability
Fourteen of the larger
vessels seized will transport at one
time about 10000 troops. The Amer
can merchant fleet available at pres
emit can carry only about half that

HAD A CAPITAL OF $500
In Six Years He Was Well Off

his mortgage, decided to give them the
history of his experience, on q Mani

who contemplate change the liberty

II will give you here brief sum-
mary of my experience since coming
here six years ago. was a new hand
at farming, my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butchering. My capital was
$500, which was a first payment on
my quarter section (160 acres) Most
of my stock, harness, implements, etc.,
were bought at sales, all ION time"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 26 acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning a
number of mischances, he says: "In
spite of all these drawbacks, I have
done well. I consider my farm worth
$500 to $4,000. I have four head of
horses, - of cattle, over 400 purebred
Buff Orpington chickens and 125 tur-
keys, besides implements, harness, etc., |
to run my place. I have a well ITO |

of water. The we'll with pump cost
me $500. 1 have built a S125 chicken
house and put up nearly $50 worth of
poultry fencing; have built root cellars
to hold over 5000 bushels of potatoes
and other vegetables. AS to income,
raise about ten acres of garden and
roots annually which net from $500 to
$1,000 total. I generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings

most all used on the farm except a

| London, April 1.-THE Germans ant
French have met in sanguinary en-
gagement northwest of Rheims, where
| the Germans with picked forces at
| tackled on front about a mile and a
half long between Sapigneut and the
Godat farm. The exact result of the
battle is beclouded by conflicting
statements from the Berlin and French
war offices.
The Paris war office admits the
Germans occupied portions of the
French first line trenches but says the
attack failed over the greater part of
the front.
A Berlin official communication
says the Germans inflicted a sanguin-
airy reverse on General Nivelle's
troops in this region, and that 800
men were made prisoner.
British Take Villages.
On the battle front in the region of
st. Quentin there have been artillery
duels between the French and Ger
mans. On their part of the line the
British have captured the villages of
Basse- Boulogne and Ronssoy, north
east of Peronne. Here the Germans
suffered heavy casualties by being
caught in their own wire entangle
ments and raked by the fire of the
British machine guns. Additional
gains for the British east aud north
east of Metz-en-Courture also are
by the British war Office.
Russians and British Join.
Probably the most momentous oper-
alton has been that of the Russians,
who, driving from Persia, have cap
ured the Mesopotamian frontier
