A DAY WILL COME.
By Victor Hugo.

A day will come when you, France;
you Russia; you, Italy; you, England;
you, Germany you nations of the
Continent shall, without losing your
distinctive qualities and your, glorious
individuality, blend in higher unity
and form a European fraternity, even
as Normandy, Brittany, Burgundy, Lor-
raine, Alsace, all the French provinces,
blended into France. A day will come
when war shall seem as impossible be-
tween Paris and London, between Peters
burg and Berlin, as between Ruen and
Amiens, between Boston and Phila-
delphia.
A day will come when bullets and
bombs shall be replaced by ballots, by
the universal suffrages of the people,
by the sacred arbitrament Of a great
sovereign Senate, which shall be to
Europe what the Parliament is to
England, what the Diet is to Germany,
what the Legislative Assembly is to
France. A day will come when cannon
shall be exhibited in our museums as
an instrument or torture is now, and
men shall marvel that such things could
be.
A day will come when we shall see
those two immense groups, the United
States of America and the United States
Of Europe, in face of each other, extend
ing hand to hand over the ocean, exchang-
ing their products, their commerce, their
industry, their art; their genius clearing
the earth, colonizing deserts and anchor
ating creation under the eye of the
| Creator.
To you I appeal French, English
Germans, Russians, Slavs, Europeans
Americans. What have we to do tt
hasten the coming Of the great day?

GIVE HIM A CHANCE

The following letter was received by
a former playmate of Arthur Schroer,
the adopted son of Mrs. Ida -Schroer,
the boy who created considerable of a
disturbance in New Ulm two years ago
by leading the police a lively chase.
The boy has been in the St. Cloud
Reformatory for year and a. half and
the letter is so interesting, so well
written, so different from what one
would expect from the boy that every
one was willing to give kick when
he was here, that the recipient passes
it On to readers Of the Review that they
may judge for themselves whether the
boy was treated as he should have
been, in the past. 1t does seem chat
some way should have been found
to reach the lad without combining him
in a refermatory but possibly that has
been his salvation and it is to be hoped
that when he comes this summer that
everyone will be willing to give him a
helping hand instead Of pushing him
down. The letter as reprinted here is
exactly as written by him. Not word
has been changed:
st. Cloud, March Is, 1918.
Dear Friend
II have practically nothing with
which to occupy my mind this after
noon; of books and magazines, have
none, and so rather than sit here for the
remainder of the day in solemn repose,
I decided, after much thot and reflections
to ''spill some ink
ssThe truth is, do not know Just
what to say. I am thinking for instance,

few Of the retrospective scenes of child
hood and happiness, VIXEN you and I
lived next door to each other and back
! to the days of 4tRun Sheep Rum or
"Duck on the Rock, when life was
but small and comprehensive thing
| to us, and this world was nothing more
than a playhouse.
But things have changed ~ no doubt

since November 9, 1916. / think that
I'll be home in May or June. Since

The Manufacturers Record says there
are several kinds of traitors and de-
scribes one of them as follows:
"The ''Pig Traitor" is commonly
seen in large numbers in most public
eating places. He is of many types,
pot-gutted and red-faced, burly
and robust. He smacks his lips at
steaks, eats prodigiously Of wheat
bread, camouhages> everything pos
sib' e in sugar, poor ass, whose god is
. his stomach.
> The statement is correct that every
patriot is needed to counteract the work
Of these traitors, and unfortunately,
many Of the ''pig traitors" really think
they are patriots"

LOST: THE ROMANCE OF WAR

'sThis war will do great deal toward
squeezing the romance out of army
life. The dreadful squalor of modern
fighting gives new aspect to this age
old drama. After the war is over the
farmer boy may go back to the palace
gate; he may wear again the cleaning
cuirass; his saber may flash as of old,
but it will never be the same. Under
the shining armor he will in magma
ton, feel the crawling vermin of the
trenches. When the military band es-
corts him down the Linden he will
remember how, on another day, he was
escorted into trench that crawled with
lice and gave forth reeking, vile odors,
that was horrible with filth and mud.
: t'Never again can they make him fee
romantic about the business OF making
war. The life of a soldier in modern
war is the life of an underpaid, over
worked ditch-digger compelled to live
in discomfort and danger. Taking it
by and large, the life of modern
soldier is almost as dull and monotonous
and tedious as the life of the dullest
civilian. All the glamor has gone.
All the magnifcence of the maneuver-
ing armies has passed. The armies
do not maneuver any more. They go
to live in ditch and stick there literally
until relieved by other troops. Even
the awful grandeur of the artillery duels
Of the past has been eliminated. The
modern gunners usually do not know
what they are shooting at; seldom see
| what their target u.s., and sight their
guns by mathematics. TIE courier with
the foaming charger of other wars has
become desk telephone"
So declares D. w. Griffith, the Amer
lean Movie Man who has been trying
to secure pictures at the front for q
great film drama Of tie present conflict
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-04-17

friend that man can have in this selfish
world, the one that never deceives him,
tie one that never proves ungrateful
and treacherous, is his dog.
a mans dog stands by him in pros-
.perity and in poverty, in health and in
sickness. He will sleep on the cold
ground where the wintry wind blows and
the snow drifts fercely, if only he may
be near his masters side. He will kiss
the hand that has no food to offer. He
will lick the wounds and sores that come
in encounter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his pauper
master as if he were prince. When
all other friends desert he remains.
When riches take wings and reputation
falls to pieces, he is as constant in his
love as the sun in its journey thru the
heavens. If fortune drives the master
forth an outcast in the world, friendless
and homeless, the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that of accompany
ing, to guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies, and when the last
scene of all comes, and when death takes
the master in it's embrace and his body
is laid away in the cold ground, no matter
if all other friends pursue their way,
there by the graveside may the noble
dog be found, his head between his paws,
his eyes sad but open in alert watchful-
ness, faithful and true even in death. 81.

THE GERMAN LANGUAGE

The hostility against everything Ger
man has assumed such proportions that
even the German language has been
attacked from all sides, and the more
ignorant brute is, the more viciously
8e attacks the language of which he
kasvs absolutely nothing.
Al languages-no matter by whom
ahey are spoken-contain an element of
csnnousrars of all ages have respected
sghh the nations and races whom they
azibiugated.
Raeple who Danish the German
language from our institutions of learn
ang are none better than idiots who
site off the nose from their physiognomy
9br the purpo-e of splicing their face.
There IS not great man in any pro-
Rsslm in America but who declares
shah the German language is indispens-
able to his success. I do not refer to it's
'nt<seribable charm and beauty, to its
sndarfuE versatility, it's irresistible
strength, Its graceful fexibility or it's
saaptability and elasticity, but above
all otter things to it's practical useful-
szess, which makes it a valuable asset
To any perso on who possesses this glorious
treasure

But it is hard to draw the line, to learn
who is deliberately disloyal and who is
ignorantly disloyal. There are more
of the latter class than of the former.
Loyalty doesn't consist of stunts of a

be an unselfish, law abiding citizen.

TRIBUTES FROM
SECRETARY BAKER

Following a tour of South England,
Secretary Of War Baker made this
comment on the work done by the
American Red Cross for our boys:
"These are the things which count.
The American Red Cross Is to be con-
graduated on the way in which it is
looking after our boys. 1t is doing
fine work"
Following his return from France.
Secretary Baker wrote this note to
the American Red Cross in London:
81 left London SO shortly after my
drive to Winchester that l had no
early opportunity to thank you for
the courtesy of the touring car which
you placed at my disposal for the trip.
On this trip to Europe l have received
fresh and noteworthy evidence of the
astonishing efficiency of the American
Red Cross operations in France and
England. / have been delighted to see
how much the American Red Cross
has done to weld hearts of the allied
people together"

AS the week and the day draws near
for the celebration of Christmas some
dollar of yours will go for something as
a gift to ONE one, it may be near aud
deal or only a friend Or acquaintance.
From your own experience you know
that many a gift of that kind now
sdorn a dusty shelf, or serves no o
useful purpose, because it is difficult to
choose gifts which are useful as we'll as
express the sentiment of the season.
AS a matter of fact, you can express
the sentiment of the season as aceep-
tably in some other or some less ex-
pensive way, but the value of that
dollar will keep alive a starving body
in Europe or Asia. Are you a member
OF the Red Cross? If not, consecrate
that dollar to the service of humanity!

"OySter King Dead. Was
Exporter of Blue Points

Oakdale, Long Island, December 81
Capt. Jacob Ockers, known as the
"Oyster King" died yesterday after
noon at his home in Oakdale, l.. L.,
after An illness of several years. He
was born in Holland seventy-one years
ago, the son of a Holland oysterman,
coming to this country as a babe. Cap
tain Ockers began to take an active in
terest in the oyster business when only
eight years old and eventually came to
be one of the largest individ ual oyster
growers and shippers In the United
States. He was the first exporter of
oysters to Europe and his name came
to be known In all markets which the
Blue Point oyster found in foreign
countries. His foreign shipments the
fist year amounted to only 1000 bar
r Is. Later his export business became
the largest of its kind in the United
S ates and amounted to 10000 barrels
annually. A few years ago Captain
Ockers became a party to the organizs-
ton of the Bluepoints company, which
Represented a capitalization of over a
million dollars. He became president
and general manager of the company
located at West Sayville. He had ex-
tensive holdings of oyster lands in Buzz
yards Bay, Cape Cod, Long Island
Sound at New Haven and was also a
large planter in Della ware Bay.-Brook-

BUY SUBSTITUTES FOR AWHILE
why Not Help?

The lifting of the regulations on the
sale of substitutes with wheat -four has
been a cause of rejoicing, but also Of
trepidation to the retailers of u coun-
ty who had large supplies Of substitutes
on hand. The expected has happened;
nobody buys substitutes any more, and
the goods in the hands of the grocer
must spoil and become a dead lose.
rope, with millions starving, such
waste is wrong. 1t can be prevented If
our housekeepers will lend a helping
hand. We can all afford to buy one
more bag of Victory flour, or a few
pounds more OF barley flour, or rice
-four or cor meal. If everyone would
buy just n sack Of -four, or two
pounds OF substitutes, the grocers'
problem would soon disappear.
Butchers who make their own scrap
pie or corn meal mush for frying, can
help in the disposition of corn meal by
buying their supplies from grocers,
who have corn meal on hand, instead
of from their usual dealers. And if
your baker has Victory bread to sell,
buy it from him for a little while, in
stead Of the pure wheat bread; you will
be helping both the baker and the gov
eminent.
Following is a list of groeers who
have substitutes on hand:

Red Cross Does Local Work

In connection with the campaign for
the enrolment of every person in the
community as a member of the Red
Cross during Roll Call Week, it should
be brought to the attention of the COM
munity that the local Red Cross branch
has cared for the families Of the men
in service during their absence when
there was need, by reason of delayed
allotment and allowance. This is done
through the Home Service Section.
In wildwood this has meant the ex-
penditure of $129.10 during the past
year with more to come. Are you
ready to help the boys by relieving
their minds in regard to those they
have been obliged to leave behind?
