New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-08-21

Thousands upon thousands of air
planes and air fighters are needed for
this; munitions in such quantities az
were never produced before must be
turned out.
We owe it to the millionaor more sons
over there, to the millions Of mothers
and fathers who sent them, not only to
make the army one Of several millions
but to bend our every resource and en-
ergy at home toward winning this wal
and ending it speedily. We must. send
over enough soldiers and munitions sc
as to leave no question whatever as Il
the outcome. 4sfI
Every citizen must realize this; every
worker in mill or plant must know that
our fighters over there cannot win unless
furnished with the materials.
Every hour is precious. The soldiers
at the front must be on duty all the time;
the workers at home should be no less
faithful to their tasks here. 1t means
the lives of their sons, brothers, chums
and friends who have gone across. Il
means the life and honor and future 81

Official paper of City Of New Ulm.

The St. Paul Daily News has evidently
FORGOTTEN it's policy of fair play to all
and has published lot of rot about the
cause of the Indian outbreak, making
it appear that the outbreak was caused
,by trouble between some OF the Red
Skins and white settler who upbraided
the party of Indians for frightening one
of his setting hens from her nest. This
according to the News was the cause OF
the uprising of the Indians thru the whole
Minnesota Valley. Possibly the up
braiding may have been the straw that
broke the camel's back but that it was
the primary cause of the massacre any
one with a teaspoonful of brains would
not claim. And to add to the folly of
the article the News goes on to say that
the Indians took a peculiar delight in
numbering New Ulm people because they
were Germans. The cause of the mas
-sacre is known by all to have been the
unfair treatment the Indians got at the
'ndIuS VI Vic 4HOldu eSCIAIo oilO IL 10
also we'll known that the agents were
not Germans. These agents lied to the
Indians and cheated them and the Red
Skins found it out and prepared their
revenge. The settlers came under their
ban because the whites were occupying
the land and the natives felt they should
soon have no hunting grounds left. That
the settlers happened to be German or
English or Scotch or French made alb
solutely no difference to them and it is
typical of the boneheads of the present
day and age that they have no better
sense than to try to stir up still more
trouble between the Germans and other
citizens by making such unjust remarks.
All of the trouble of the past year might
.have been avoided had the German cit
liens of Minnesota been treated like
human beings rather than like beasts.
Let's have an end to the campaign of
lies and it will he quickly seen that no
more true sons of America exist on her
soil than the Germans of the Minnesota
Valley, those people and their sons who
have made Minnesota the Garden of
the Gods that it is and who now are
giving their greatest efforts to save a
big crop of wheat that the soldier boys
may be we'll supported in the fight they
have to make.

THE SPY SYSTEM IN AMERICA.

A couple of weeks ago Norwegian
vessel, the Vindeggen, was torpedoed
and sunk off the northeast coast ;of
America. The captain was taken aboard
the submarine and entertained as well
as examined by the commander be-
fore he was sent drifting in small
boat. Upon reaching New York, where
he is we'll acquainted, he related his
experiences on the submarine to one
of his old friends. The other day
this friend, business man in New
York, passed through St.. Paul, and,
during his stay in the city, repeated the
story to member of the staff of Min-
,,esota in the War. 1t runs in substance
as follows: .>s zz :
The Norwegian captain was treated
royalty by the commander, who APP
parently was anxious to show his quest"
that nothing was lacking on board:
He dispensed with generous hospitality
the best of everything, choice cigars and
wines, including champagne, etc. His
English was excellent and he spoke
about New York. with the familiarity
of a resident Knickerbocker. As; he
seemed to be we'll posted even on very
recent, events of minor Importance,
the captain asked him how he had come
by this information. He replied that he
had learned by seeing for himself on one
of his recent visits to the city. The
captain, accepting: this statement as
a piece of Kidding >, the commander
pulled out OF his vest pocket stubs Of
two theatertickets to. a New, York
playhouse, dated only few days. pre-
viously, and added that he had enjoyed
the show very much. Whereupon he
filled the glasses, drank to happy
journey for the captain and; put him
adrift. B..
The story proves that if they have
been unable to get any of our troop
transports, German submarines have
more important business in our waters
than the sinking OF schooners. They
are undoubtedly most important
link in the German spy system in this
country, cooperating with numerous
assistants working in our ports and
along the coast. Nor is it easy, or,
rather, it is practically impossible to
put stop to these activities; for under
cover of darkness a submarine may
sneak in almost anywhere along our
extensive coast, where information is
expected, and, as the story shows, even
send clever men ashore to observe for
themselves. The most effective weapon
available against these and other spies
is for loyal Americans to OBSERVE strict
discretion and keep mum about every
thing which should be kept from the
enemy.-From ''Mimmesota INT the War;
