A Daylight Bank
Robbery At Knapp

A daylight bank robbery was pull
ed off at Knapp last Friday, after
noon, which for real boldness has the
Twin City hold-ups backed off the
map.
Shortly before O'Clock, two men,
dressed like farm laborers, entered
the State Bank and at the point Of
revolvers drove the bank employees
and customers into back room.
They hastily gathered up all the
cash in sight and made their escape
in an automobile. They were said
to have gone through Glenwood
City and Emerald and from there
headed toward some point on the
Montreal division Of the SEQ Line.
A posse of citizens was organized
at once and search made for the
thieves, w h o are thought to be
amateurs Among the money Sc
cured was over fifty pounds of sill
yer dollars, which the cashier had
just been rolling into packages. In
all they got away with $4,000. They
could have taken more, but in their
haste and lack of experience they
evidently did not know where to
look for money.

RIVER FALLS Wins
SENSATIONAL GAME
Normal School Five Noses Out
St. Thomas in Last Minute
of Play---Reed the Local
Sharpshooter

The River Falls Normal C h DOL
basketball team opened the season
in fitting style last Friday evening
at st. Paul by taking the fast st.
Thomas College five into camp by
score of IL to Is.
1t was one of the most sensational
games ever staged on the Saints
floor, the score being tie up to the
last few seconds of p / Y when
technical foul gave Reed the oppor-
tunity of winning the game for his
team and the little forward was
there in the pinch.
The game was whirlwind affair
throughout, b e n G featured with
close guarding by both teams. The
first half ended s to 8.
The superior teamwork o f t h e
River Falls team gave them the edge
in the final session and the Cadets
appeared demoralized up to tn g
closing minutes of the game. They
started squirt which tied the score
but River Falls fought desperately
to hold them and Reeds chance at
free throw proved enough to w in
the game.
The NormaliteS are to be congrat-
ulated upon their fine showing. st.
Thomas always has a stiff aggrega-
ton of basket tossers and it takes
good team to beat them, especially
on their own floor, which is made of
packed dirt, instead of wood, and is,
therefore Slow, and a handicap to
any visiting team.
All the Normal men showed up
we'll. Reed and Kreuger worked
smoothly as the forwards and Me-
gordon was bear at center. Doc
Peterson was a stoneWall on the de-
Tense and also Gagged a pretty bas-
ket after a dribble through the en-
tire st. Thomas team. Hawley and
Rock alternated at the other guard
position and both showed up we'll,
the former scoring a basket from
the field,

Just now when the air is charged
wi h peace rumors Germ any may try
to fool US again. She will probably
surprise the world by offering terms
of peace that would give Alsace Lor-
raine back to France and free all
conquered territory. There is dan
ger the people in allied countries
would be in favor Of accepting such
terms, since they are war weary.
But any peace that leaves to Ger
many free hand in western Russia
and the Balkans is German peace
Let us be ready for any such mag
unanimous offer. The only way to
win this war is to beat the German
army to its knees and des roy PIus-
sianism. If we stop short of this
Germany has fooled US.

German in Oar Schools

Unfortunately the war is affecting
the study Of German in our schools.
Wisconsin university reports a fall
ing off of 10 per cent and Minnesota
about the same. A dozen or more
high schools in Wisconsin have
thrown out German. In several
states certain German text books
have been condemned. What is the
reason? The public is becoming hos
tile to the German language. dis
trustful of many who teach it. Just
recently Prof. Cooper of Leland
Stanford university in a public adj
dress said that if anybody tried to
abolish German at Stanford he would
be led off the campus by the ear.
Prof. Cooper is not the only teacher
of German who holds such views. 1t
is high time for German instructors
to take bold stand and put their
loyalty above suspicion. And be-
sides, German as taught in our
schools ought to help make better
Americans, not better Germans. 1t
ought not to put such a loving SYM
pathetic touch to everything Ger

The German Invasion

In 1913. on the occasion or the
18th anniversary Of Kaiser VII
helms coming to the throne, all
sorts of complimentary things were
said about him. Our leading Amer
leans paid him eloquent tributes:
The newspapers and magazines were
full of Kaiser articles. Was he not
the man who for % years had
kept the peace of Europe? The
Kaiser foole Us badly. Previous to
this Wilhelm had sent his brother,
Prince Henry, to visit US. Such a
reception! New York harbor swarm
ed with festooned craft of every de-
scription. The president welcomed
him to Washington. Did we then
surmise the real meaning OF that
visit. Soon came along the ex-
change of professors with Germany
and later, of teachers. When the
war began there were in the United
States several hundred German
newspapers, numerous German
churches, German parochial schools.
German theatres and a National Ger
man American Alliance. On every
hand were articles of merchandise,
Made in Germany" brought to us
by the great German liners. There
were German cities in America larg-
er than Dresden or Cologne. New
York was the largest German city
after Berlin.
