DISTINGUISHED VISITOR
TELLS VIEWS ON WAR
Chicago Author and Publisher
Blanes British Propaganda
in This Country.

Edward Garstin Smith was in the
city Monday for the purpose of IN
teresting some Of the citizens OF New
Ulm in the Constitutional Society,
which was organized in the year 1916
and on account CT the war had sto
cease activities. Mr.. Smith is an
author and has written several pamph-
lets, among wiaieh are 'sThe Eurpoean
War" and "Amerieanisn. He is at
present time publishing a monthly
called "Garstin Says" something on
the order Ct Albert Hubbard's Phil
istine. Mr.. Smith has some decided
views on the World war and does not
hesitate to express himself quite for
chilly.
His treatise ''The European War
got him into trouble with the Depart
ment of Justice, but this in no manner
cooled his ardor for pure and unadul-
terated Americanism. In speaking of
the war he says that Americas entry
in the European war was the result
of British propaganda and the purpose
was to enable insiders to get rich
quick. 1t was a good business. 1t
was an undertaker's undertaking. No
government ever perpretated on its
people a bolder ''holdup game.
The Constitutional Society has Sc
cured a large tract Of land IN Florida
and aims to build up there a COM com
nlunity OF progressives who viii try 1ls
to bring home to the people OF this his
country what the Constitution STANDS
for. TO be able to do this efforts
,aill be made to improve our educa-
tional system, which, as he says, has has.
tendency to sissify the youth OF
this country If any one is interested
in the movement, he should get into
touch with Mr.. Smith at 20 West

DEPUTY SHERIFF H. F. IA UNKE
RETURNS FROM A TRIP
TO DENVER, COLO.
SMALL, ACCUSED OF
COMMITTING BURGLARY,
IN HIS CUSTODY.

!, A telegram received in this city,
yesterday, contained the information
that Deputy Sheriff Herman F. Jahnke,
who departed for Denver, Colo,
Saturday morning, to bring back
Eugene Small, charged with burglary
in the third degree, would arrive In
New Ulm with his prisoner this morn
ing. The message did not state wheth-
er or not it was necessary to make
use Of the extradition papers, which
Mr.. Jahnke had secured from Governor
J. A. A. Burnquist at St. Paul, enroute
to the West. 1t is surmiseed, how
ever, that the accused young man
accompanied the officer to New Ulm
without invoking this prerogative.
Charged With Taking Curios.
Small is charged with entering rooms
in in the b. Marschner buildsng on South
Minnesota street, about November l,
where Mr.. and Mrs. August. Marsch-
Her, who recently removed to this
city from Mankato, had stored their
household goods. 1t IS alleged, IN a
comp amt sworn to by Mr.. Marsckner,
that the young man appr opriated a
number of articles belonging to HIM,
including Luger automatic pistol,
valued at approximately $4o0, which
Mr. Marschner secured during his
overseas war service, as we'll as has
Colts u. S. Army model revolver, 'ls
u hi,s !. him Throughout
his military activities in France and
Germany. These arans were highly
prized by Mr.. Marschner' not for their
intrinsic value so much IS on account
of their being mementos Of his World
war career.
Sold Luger to Companion.
Subsequent investigation has dl-
yulged that Small disposed Of the
I,uqer pistol to George Buschers, also
Of this city, who accompanied hin

for SIS. The Colts revolver has not
