New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-01-09

Peace aims of the Allies and the
Germans are gradually getting the rough
edges rubbed off and the corners rounded
preparatory to fitting them together.
Witness the changed tone OF the last
British utterance. They no longer clamor
wildly for the dissolution of Germany's
present form of government and even
admit that they may have to accept
the Hohenzollern into the family OF
rulers once more. A few months ago
they swore by all that was holy they
would be satisfied with nothing less than
Wiping Germany off the map. And
Germany likewise is toning down it's
demands. Diplomacy! How much more
honorable and worthy of respect all would
be if they at once admitted that they were
sick of the quarrel, that each had done
wrong and then would proceed to repair
the damages done by their wicked rage
at each other. This business of trying
to save their faces is disgusting to any
one who is not ashamed to admit a
mistake and who is willing to right a
wrong committed. They have all got
10 come to it that they must admit their
errors, whether they make the admissions
openly or tacitly. Why not come out
now like gentlemen of honor and get the
horrible stencil of their quarrels out of
ehe nostrils of the world?

THE AFTERMATH

| " =. =" > = - = \ y q
It was one OF the aftermaths Of Verdun.
In an eddy Of Che battle and in the shelter
OF "a crater three wounded men found
themselves jurnbled together. One was
a French marine, one a Scotch officer
and one a private in the Uhlans. The
Frenchman was the last to come to him
self. He saw the other two bending over
him rendering first aid. The Britishar
was pouring water down his. throat and
the German was trying to staunch his
wound with an antiseptic preparation
served out to him BY his medical corps.
The Highlander had a shattered leg and.
the Germanshad several pieces Ct shrap-
mel buried in his side. In spite Of their
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-01-09

suffering both were trying to help an
other. When the Frenchman had come
to full consciousness the German looked
over his kit, took out q package, read
the directions, gave the other two q
morphia injection and took one himself.
After this, all feeling Wonde rfully at
ease, they began to talk. for they could
all speak English. They reviewed the
day. Each briefly gave his own military
history. How old are YOU com
rade?" the Uhlan asked the scotchman.
8 twenty nine. And you? $ wenty-
five. And you to the other. The
Frenchman acknowledged twenty -three.
He asked if the others were married.
They had all been. But the marine had
no wife. He had a sister. Then they
passed smoke about, and one Of them
said, Why did we ever fight one an
other?" Nobody had any answer, SO
they all fell silent. The Frenchman
found pad Of paper and a pencil and
started letter about the three. The
German took out small prayer book
and, by the failing light, tried to read a
service for soldiers wounded in battle.
The Highlander fell asleep. Above was
the constant roar Of guns, but whenever
silence fell they could hear the black
birds singing in lood-spattered corn.
the Frenchman looked over toward the
Scotchman. In spite Of his mud-stained
uniform and cory face, he looked the
picture of freedom. His stern face re-
Taxed as he slumbered. The insects
troubled him, and as he stirred uneasily
the marine beckoned to the Uhlan who
lay nearer, and he, with some difficulty
and pain, reached over, washed away
some Of the blood with a rag dipped in
puddle, and then he patted him on the
cheek. The Highlander smiled. It is
you, mother?' he whispered The Red
Cross brought in the three bodies the
next morning. They found this story
in the sFrenchman's unfinished letter.

C0NGRESSMEN's SALARIES TO.
BE CUT

Senator Kenyon, Of Iowa, by introduce
! ing bill to reduce the salary of every
member Of the Senate and House Of
Representatives, is in line with the spirit
of reform which is extant throughout
the nation.
His bill designs to cut the salary from
81 800 to $4,000 per annum during the
war. It was referred to the Commit
tee on Appro priations, and has some
chance Of being reported favorably.
Every citizen will give his hearty APP
proval to the measure, and should see
to it that Senator Kenyon's bill is not
allowed to lapse.
Members Of Congress should be made
ito experience in their own purse prac-
tical realization Of what the war is cost
ing the people and what burdens it inn
poses on them mot because such legis-
lation would be retaliatory, but because
they are better able to bear their chare
of the assessment for the conduct Of.
the war than almost any other class of
salaried persons. s
Beyond possibly a dozen members of
the present House, they are richly paid
for their services at $4,000. Few strong
individuals have developed. AS a body,
the House has not distinguished itself
or contributed the least to the cause Of
democracy. In yielding supinely on
such measures as the espionage bill,
and betraying lamentable helplessness
in protecting the people from legislative
lockers" the present House has only
proved the fundamental wisdom which
limited its existence to the short period
of two years.
It will become historic for passing the
war legislation, prohibition and other
radical measures, but it's legislative inn
portance will depend rather on acts per-
formed in the sweep of hysterical impulse
than on work nobly done in the -fullness
OF deliberate judgment. It will always
be remembered that there were those
who were not ashamed to avow on the
floor that they would vote for war, not
because they believed in it, but because
they conceived it to be their duty to
support the superior judgment Of an in
divldual.
Uncle Sam has had the services of
ADLER men in Congress when the salary
was $4,000 than since its was raised to
$500. The additional $4,000 has not .
realized the prediction that an increase
of pay would attract a higher class of
predetermined citizens. The standard 4

At the annual meeting of the Farmers
Mutual Insurance Co. of Redwood
County which was held at Wabasso
Saturday, A. D. Stewart who had for
tie past 27 or % years been not only
a director of the company but also
Secretary failed to be reelected as a
member of the Beard of directors and
this will mean his elimination from the
Office Ct Secretary, job which was
worth annually about $1,000. The
fact that Stewart had held the Office
Of Secretary for so many years eliminates
any question as to his capability to run
the Office and no such claim was made
Il can be made. 1t is currently reported
by scre who claim to know, that
SteNsrt's retirement was due largely
tic lis pernicious activity as safety

mostly responsible for his downfall.

The war is proving many things, and
disproving as many more. One old
theory all shot to pieces is that men are
more sensible about their foot wear
than women are. Reports issued by
the Federal medical examiners show
shat only Is per cent of the enlisted men
wear shoes that fit and out of the un-
wise IS per cent, there were 81 per cent
found wearing shoes too small. Brothers
and husbands, take notice: Your sisters
and wives will have perfect right to
answer vigorously the next time you
comment on the folly of women with
regard to foot-gear.
