SIOUX INDIAN TRAIL
.LOGGED,FOR TOURISTS
Highway Has Its Beginning at
Mankato and Runs to
Dakota Line

The Sioux Indian Historical Trail
from this city to north of Brecken-
ridge, has been logged and the log
and trail markings will be filed with
the state highway commission. The
trail, as agreed upon, now starts from
Mankato and runs to New Ulm, Fair
fax, by way of Fort Ridgley, and on
up the Minnesota river valley all the
way to Fort Ahercrombie, which is
twelve miles north of Breckenridge
and Wahpeton, N. d. At the annual
meeting of the trail association at
Granite Falls the other day consider
able sentiment developed in favor OF
having the trail start at Fort Smelling
and run through Fort Traverse des
Sioux, through ST. Peter and thence to
Mankato, passing the monument where
the thirty eight Indians We're exc
cuted, and thence up the valley via
Nicollet and New Ulm. At the west
ern end of the trail there is a desire
to continue it to Pembina, down the
Red river The route to be selected
through Mankato has been referred
to the Commercial club, but it cannot
well be other than in on the st.
Peter road and up Front street to
Main. and thence across the river to
the Nicollet road.
The strip maps that the CONNER
cial and Automobile clubs have got
ten out have been mailed out to
automobile and commercial organiza
tions, hotels, garages and summer
resorts along all of the twelve routes
covered, and it is believed that good
results will follow during the next
three or four months, which is the
principal touring season. More tour
lists than ever before are expected
to pass through Mankato this sum-
mer for the Commercial club is CO.

A good many automobile clubs over
the country are adopting the plan OF
giving no information or assistance to
anyone not a member of his home

sired, or else taking his membership
and remitting the fee to the club

plan was carried out very generally
it would do away with 'mooching.'
The Hoosier Motor club of Indian
apolis writes that the plan has brought
six new members daily and saved
much energy expended on "mooch-
ers." and has also educated the pub
lie On the value of motor clubs in
civic, business and social life, as
well as defined their necessity to the

ANOTHER "CRISIS."

And now we are warned of an
impending food crisis. Mr.
Hoover tells us officially that sup
plies to our allies are many mil
lions Of bushels behind schedule,
that a great portion of the rec
ord-breaking crop of soft corn
may spoil on our hands, that last
years potatoes may rot before
reaching the consumers.
This, mind you, in a land of
plenty that has hardly got its nose
into the war.
We confess a sense OF bewil-
derment over this ominous and
too common word, "crisls." We
have lately had a coal ecrisis,"
relieved, to some degree, by the
mildcr weather which, however,
cannot wholly have caused food
"crisis." Mr.. Hoover, the food adj
ministrator, puts the cause up to
the railroad administration, but
Mr.. McAdoo resents the charge
and refuses to take the ''bnck"
The warning has gone forth,
preparatory, it is presumed, to
drastic measures for relief. We
wonder whether foodless Mon
days are in sight.
We have no doubt as to Mr..
Hoover's good intentions. We
have serious doubts as to Mr. Nc
Adoo's ability TO hold down five
jobs, including those of railroad
administrator and secretary of
the treasury. There are too
many people at Washington try
ing to play all the instruments in
the band.
The president needs more help,
but of the right kind. No longer
is the war 5000 miles away. 1t
is right here at home.

Baron StoubCn. who had been on the
staff Of Frederick the Great, and who
admittedly was one of the ablest of
PrusS.an officers, offered his services
to Washington without pay or rank.
Washington Immediately made the
German warrior head drillmaster for
American soldiers, and he did his work
Well. Day after day, in all kinds of
weather and at al hours Baron Steu-
hen worked with the raw American
troops. Within three months Barcn
Steubcn had made wonderful change
in the American soldiers at Valley
Forge. The Prussian general him
self said that the intelligence of tho
iank and file of the American army
was SO superior TO that OF European
privates that the could accomplish
more with them in three months than
with years drilling of raw Euro

Defeat of Germans Turning
Point in Revolutionary War

1t was on Christmas, 1776, that Gen
cral George Washington began his
drive against the Germans entrenched
at Trenton, N. j.
The password that Washington gave
his mon was:
VICTORY or DEATT"
For many long and cold and hungry
weeks the Americans had been waiting
in Philadelphia, where the frozen
ground was strcaked with blood from
their unshod feet and where q potato
and few kernels of corn often was all
that stood between the American
soldiers and starvation.
The Germans We're enjoying them
selves at Trenton, secure in the belief
that the half-starved, poorly drilled
Americans would not dare attack them,
well armed, highly trained and vastly
experienced in war. Colonel Rail did
not disguise his contempt of The
Americans. In Trenton it was proud =
ly boosted that the Germans would
wait and make a great drive on what
was left of the Americans in the
spring. Colonel Rail expected by that
time Washington's troops would have
been put out of fighting shape by the
rigors of winter and poor provisioning
Then it was that Washington plan
ned his Christmas offensive. BY a
fine bit of military strategy he had
thinned out tho line of the enemy
and he had the Germans alone in
Trenton.
That Christmas night Colonel Rail
gave a merry party. Song and dance
pretty women and wine enlivened
things. The privates took the cue from
their officers and all Trenton was q
scene of revelry.
But it was different west of the
Delaware, the Americans were assem-
bled, each man carrying a rifle, a
blanket, three days rations, and 40
pounds of ammunition.
With Victory or DEATH" in every
American heart they set out. For nine
hours the little army, led by Wash
ington himself, marched through the
bitter cold. When they arrived at the
Delaware they found it almost frozen
over. \ wild storm of sleet and hail

Home Folks Prayers
Pulled Boys Through.


Americans will never see the most
terrible part Of the war, Captain Pear
son declared.
THE most terrible part OF the war
was that first winter of 1.-THE end Of
1914. the beginning of 1916" he said.
During that first winter OF the war.
when the enemy marched against us
with machine guns and all the modern
instruments Of warfare. and we had
no guns, no ammunition. nothing but
sheer strength Of will to so on. it was
really the letters from home that held
the lines for us. We did it because
the home folk expected us to do it, and
said so in their letters.
you may say that this is all senti-
ment. Well, this is a war of Senti-
ment. It's sentiment that took US over
there to fight. and 1t Is sentiment that
is taking you Americans.
Anyhow, soldiers are like that. I've
known some of them that haven't got
ten a word from home in all the time
they have been gone, more than three
years now. 1t may have been because
their women were slackers, and it may
have been because their letters had
gone astray. They were very diff
ferent lot. as a rule, from the chaps
who got letters from home regularly,
and they went into the fight with q
different spirit.

cencc in its measures, are duties en-

The very idea Of the power and right

All Instructions to the execution of

of fatal tendency. They serve to or
ganize faction, to give il an artificial
and extraordinary force; to put, in
place of the delegated will of the ma
