DlSPUTING. H0NORS
GOD OF THE NORTH AND GOD
OF THUNDER STAGE
FIERCE BOUT
FORMER is VANQUISHED~ AFTER
THREE DAYS STRUGGLE
FOR MASTERY

Seldom does this section of the country
see so beautiful a display of the Aurora
Borealis as was enjoyed Thursday eve
ming here. Shortly after o'clock the
first of the display was visible in band
of white light extending from the west
across the southern half of the sky.
The stars were particularly brilliant that
night and the blueness of the atmos-
pherephere was more than usually ap-
parent, even after dark had really
settled down. Along the northeastern
horizon there were banks of clouds
similar to those seen before summer
shower and as the display of the lights
grew brighter these banks of clouds
might be seen clearly outlined.
Three Hour Display
The display increased in intensity for
about three hours and at shortly before
10 o'clock the entire dome of the sky
was covered with bands and streamers
of shifting, shimmering light and shade.
The display was not confined to any one
portion Of the sky as is generally the
case, but seemed to form an inverted
bowl and all of the streamers ended at
one central point near the zenith of the
sky, where they appeared to be knotted
together like the tassel on cap. "
Colors Magnificent
The display of colors was also very
beautiful. A wide band of rose-red was
noticed first in the southern sky and this
light travelled from the south across the
western sky and had reached part of
the eastern horizon before the display
faded. At the same time there were
fainter bands of blue at intervals with
the white light, -
Weather Changes
It frequently happens that very
decided change in weather follows a
conspicuous display of the Northern
Lights and whether they have any con-
nection or not, it is quite commonly
supposed that they have something
to do with one another. At any rate
the day following was decided contrast
to its predecessor which had been bright
and sunny. Friday was grey and dis
agreeable and along about 10 o'clock in
the morning snow began to drift thru
the air, the quantities gradually increas-
ing and the day growing darker as it
does with the first storms of winter.
By night bowling blizzard was raging
from the north and with the snow drift
ing badly.
+ Thunder and Lightning
The temperature did not drop very
greatly as the lowest mark reached
during the night was 20 above zero and
there was about as much dust blowing
as snow. Saturday morning the snow
was very wet and at times almost like
rain. At 10 o'clock there were several
flashes of ligh tning followed by thunder,
all of which will go to, convince the
average person that-the Aurora Borealis
presages storm. But even at that,
it was beautiful enough to pay for all
the disagreeable weather of Friday and
Saturday and besides, the snow coming
at this time will be good thing for the
fields as it will keep the farmers from
getting out too early and will supply
much-needed moisture. s-- Z,

I'm CITY CITY ELECTION
FEW CONTESTS EXPECTED IN
THE CITY ELECTIONS THIS
IS SPRING
MAYORALTY QUESTION MAY BE
CAUSE OF SOME LITTLE
s:s.-.. EXCITEMENT

Altho the annual city election is only
three weeks away, there has been very
little, if anything, started among the
candidates who are up for reelection.
There will be elected in addition to
one councillor from each ward, mayer,
a city clerk, a city treasurer, two justic.
of the peace and two constables. lis
far as can be definitely stated now, city
clerk VIM. Backer will be candidate
for reelection, as will Gottl. Oswald
for city treasurer, N. Henningson ana
George Hogen for city justices, and
Alfred Harmening and Alfred Baftn,sh
as constables. So far no opposition has
appeared against any of them. Petitions
to have their names placed on the
ballot have been circulated or are being
circulated.
No Opposition For Councillors
The councillors whose terms of Office
expire are Herman Beussmann Of the
first ward, DR.. Emil Mueller of the
End ward and Christ Filzen of the third
ward. Christ Filzen has announced
himself as candidate for re election ana
the friends of the other candidates expect
that they will also announce themselves
in the near future. It is not believed
that there will be any opposition to these
councillors except possibly in the thira
ward where the name of Charles Kueh-
bach has been mentioned as a possible
opponent to- Mr.. Filzen.
The Mayoralty
Very little has been said openly about
the mayoralty. Fred Behnke the present
incumbent holds the Office, not BY reasan
of election but the duly elected mayor,
L. A. Fritsche was removed from Of
flee by the Governor Of the State. There
is strong feeling among the citizens al
New Ulm that DR.. Fritsche has not been
given fair treatment and many feH
that the only way that they can remove
the stigma that has been placed upon
him thru the act of the Governor and to
vindicate him in the eyes of the people
of the state, is to re-elect him to the
office from which he was removed That
may be the main reason why no mayor,
atty candidates have SO far come foF-
| ward.
1t is reported that r. NJ. PfaendeF
acting. as notary public for other can
didates also carried with him a petition
for DR.. L. A. Fritsche and that as soen
as certain persons found this cut they
made SO many threats to Mr.. Pfaender
that he finally decided to drop CIRCULATING
the petition for DR.. Fritsche. The only
reason the Review does not publish
the names of these parties at the present
time is because these gentlemen may
have acted rather hastily and may
regret what they have done but if the
tactics are repeated the full information
will be given later. s. 2.

Mr.. Moore nearly tore the lining

Miss Farrar sang for him and then
at the suggestion Of some one, the

More True Than Funny.-An old
negro not long ago applied for mem
bership in an extremely exclusive
church In an eastern city. But the
bishop Of this refined congregation
told the old man that his spiritual
condition was not satisfactory and
sent him home TO pray.
After few days the petitioner
again sought the minister and again
the bishop said that ne was unsatis-
fled and recommended the darky to

the old man. his face shining.

MATURED TO MANHOOD
American Boys Now Take Things Sc.
riousIy.


Back in the training camps one day,
writes a correspondent from the Amer
ican front, an American major said
peevishly:
Il can't get these boys Of mine to
take this war training seriously. They
play at everything. Now, just notice
that boy yonder going through bay
onet exercises. He's not content with
merely sticking the dummy but he in
sists on trying to cut II In two. He's
ground his bayonet to raZor's edge
just for the fun Of the thing"
These same boys are now holding
the front trenches. Their transforma-
tion Is truly wonderful.
Horse-play has absolutely disap-
peared, and every lad as he looks out
over No Mans Land on the German
trenches only a few hundred yards
away, seems to feel that the entire
responsibility OF the war rests on his
shoulders.
Overnight, almost, he has become a
cautious, sober. conscientious soldier

curtaiIment Of Automobile Produe

Curtailment OF Automobile Proouc- :
tion.-Washington dispatches that the
war industries board contemplates a
IS per cent curtailment OF automobile
production indicate that the govern
ment has finally begun to distinguish
between essential and essential
manufacturing. The trade Is skepti-
cal Of such drastic action and hopes
that it may be accomplished in easy
stages so as to permit the substitution
Of war work for pleasure car building
with as little disturbance to labor and
factory routine as possible. Thus
passenger car makers may be ordered
TO decrease their output from the
present 80 per cent of normal sched-
ule to SO per cent and then to IS per
cent, which will accordingly enlarge
the nations manufacturing facilities
for necessary military supplies.
The importance of cutting down the
production OF new pleasure cars Is
that 1t will permit these concerns to
increase their munition output, thus
releasing many steel mills and other
plants for other important war work.
Automobile factories are well equip
ped for the manufacture OF airplane
motors, ordnance gun carriages. trac-
tors and similar products. many OF
which are now being turned out by the
smaller steel companies. whose facili-
tics are limited for the quantity pro-
duction required.
There will be no attempt to inter-
fere with the motor truck business,
the majority OF which Is for army pur-
poses. and some 80 plants are now
making the Liberty truck" at the
rate Of $500 a month. which will be
increased to $500 In May and 5000 in
June. =
The fact that some Of the largest
American auto manufacturers. such as
the Ford, Packard and Studebaker
companies are already giving govern
ment work so per cent OF their factory
capacity. shows the industry as n
whole will be able to adjust itself to
the new Federal requirements when
officially told to do so.-Commerce and

There is but one question before
