GEORGE KLAGES INJURED
Employee of Great Western
Struck Dy Cars While Making
Flying Switch

George Klages of 326 Rock street,
who has been serving as extra con-
ductor on the Great Western railroad,
was badly hurt while at work yester-
day morning, and is confined to his
home. About nine o'clock yesterday
Mr.. Klages was making a
flying switch for freight in the
yards near Poplar street. The cars
were coming down the side track, and
the switch was frozen in the ice and
did not work readily. BY the time
Mr.. Klages got the switch turned it
was too late for him to get out of the
way of the approaching cars and he
was flung heavily to the side of the
tract, receiving a number of bad
bruises. He was taken to his home
in taxi cab, and the exact extent
of his injuries have not been deter
mined. He will be unable to work for
some time to come.

BOYS ON U.S.S. UTAH
ARE ALL WELL FITTED
No Cause F or Misleading Stories
To Be Circulated, Declares
Crew Member

Those who read a recent article in
a Minneapolis newspaper to the effect
that the soldiers on the battleship
Utah were poorly equipped will be
pleased to learn that the information
given was not true and that the boys
on the Utah are being splendidly
treated and are very well equipped.
After reading the article Mrs. Theo-
dore Williams wrote to young man
she knew who is serving on the Utah
and told him that if the Mankato boys
on that ship were in need the ladies
of Mankato would see that they were
supplied. In reply she received an
interesting letter from the "jackie" in
which he stated that he had never
seen his fellow sailors so well equip
ped as at present, both in regard to
Red Cross clothing and with Red Cross
knitted articles. Every man of the
deck force is fitted out with jerSy,
helmet and scarf and some of them
have couple of the articles, the ex-
ira ones being sent by personal
friends. The men also have wooden
socks and wristlets, and the inside
crew is also very well equipped with
generous supply of Red Cross goods.
He stated that the men all expressed
great appreciation to the Red
Cross for all the kindness shown to
them. The writer regretted that such
misleading statement had been made
in regard to the Utah, and said it was
probably circulated by German en-
emies. He added that the boys liked
to receive copies of the daily papers,
even if the copies were old.

HEN CAN HELP WIN WAR
Members of Feathered Tribe Are
Strutting About the Back Yard
With an Air of Conceit.
limited Press Dispatch


Washington, January 30.-The
American hen is strutting forth from
the back yard and farm to join the
American forces fighting the Germans.
"The hen will win the war;" comes
from no less a reliable source than
the department Of agriculture.
To this is added an appeal from
the department to the farmers to in
crease their production of chickens
and eggs, SO as to save more meat
to send abroad, for the use of Amer
icf.'s fighting men.
:. The hen must take her place
among those who are helping to win
the war for democracy. The hen, of
course, always has shown willing
ness to do her duty, and doubtless
she is willing now" the department
Of agriculture says.
The stimulus given their farmers
to increase the poultry production
will result in nation of egg and chicken
enthusiasts leaving more meat to en-
bark at Atlantic ports to combat the
German hoWitZers

Organization Will Now Be
Increased
An Address Was Delivered Last
Night BY c. S. SuItzer,
RedWing

Arrangements were made for a
window and store display contest for
trophy cups at the meeting of the
Mankato Advertising clubs, held last
evening at the Hotel Heinrich. The
usual supper took place, and then
followed a long business session.
President H. M. Thompson, who has
a new position in st. Paul, presented
his resignation. The gathering was
addressed by C. S. Sultzer of Red
wing. A membership campaign was
started. A new vigilance committee
was named. A committee on coop
erative advertising was appointed.
Souvenirs from the Redwing Adver-
Using company were distributed.
H M Thompson, president of the
club, at the outset spoke of the
state convention that the advertising
clubs of Minnesota recently had in
st. Paul He said the Mankato dele
cation plainly made a hit. He said
every one of the speakers who
dwelt on the vigilance work of the
advertising clubs was listened to
with great interest. 1t was brought
out that this work had been a sur
prise to all by what it had accom-
plished. He remarked that when the
Mankato delegation went to st. Paul,
no one thought that Mankato would
be anywhere near to winning the at
tendance banner, but Mankato won
third place. Then great regret was
expressed that Mankato had not made
a greater effort to come out first. He
remarked fae---ss-p cfn1anert-
organization of the advertising cubs
was being perfected and he had no
doubt that Mankato would be glad
to affiliate with it.
st. Paul Club Originator Of Idea.
Mr. Thompson said the ST. Paul club
was the originator of the idea of holding
the state convention and appropriat-
ed $500 out of it's own treasury to
push the idea along. He suggested that
the Mankato club donate some money
to help st. Paul pay what the conven-
ton cost. The matter was discussed
for time. Action was deferred for
the present.
He also spoke of the fact that the
government was realizing the fact that
the advertising clubs were in a posi-
ton ito help the government greatly
in getting things systematized, and
in obtaining information. He spoke
of the recently appointed advertising
board that was going to work in
conjunction with the advertising

Complaints
BAN ON LABOR MEETS
UNITED Press nispatch.1

Copenhagen, Denmark, January 80.
1t is reported that $4,000 workmen
went on a strike in Berlin on We'd
nesday of last week. 1t is reported
that the strike has been spreading
to Danzig, Hanover and other cities.
At Berlin a council of 500 has been
formed to represent the workmen. It
is reported further that there are dis
turbances among the Sailors in the
German fleet at Kiel. The workrnen's
council of 500 has central govern
ing committee composed of ten men
and ten women. This council includes
many prominent socialists. Among
them are DIR, Haas, DR.. Ledbour, DR..
Bettmann, Philip Scheideman, DR..
Ebert and Dr. Braun.
All Labor Meetings Prohibited.
Dr. Wallraff, secretary of the in
terror, has prohibited all labor meet
ings. He has refused to recognize
any committees of the council of 500
Dut he has expressed hi swillingness
to listen to members of the reichstag
that the striking workers may have.
Note.-The fact that Philip
Scheidemann, who has long been the
majority leader of the socialists in the
German reichstag, has decided to
join the minority, is regarded as of
tremendous significance. He has long
been regarded as mere tool In the
hands of the German government. It
was he who originated the idea of
having a socialist conference for
peace at Stockholm. 1t was seen at
once that this was but scheme for
the German government. He designed
to have this conference controlled by
a majority of German delegates. The
kaiser some time ago appointed him
to head a committee to work out GER
tain reforms of the German constitu-
ton, regarding him as safe. Some
how of late he has had a change Of
heart. He recently criticised boldly
the governments policies in connec-
ton with the Brest-I itovsk confer.
