FLOOD CONTROL PLANS
HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
Four Large Reservoirs Are Provided
Along the Minnesota River. in
the Project, ~ II

Engineering plans have been COM
pleted for the big project OF controlling
floods in the entire valley. Of the Mime
sofa river, authorized by the last legis-
lature, and it is hoped that preliminary
contracts may be let next summer,
according to an announcement by
State Senator F. L. Cliff of Ortonvllle,
one of the pioneer workers in securing
favorable food-control legislation.
The plans, as tentatively CONF leted,
provide for four big reservoirs, namely,
one at Big Stone, one at Lac qui Parle,
one at East Redwood and one further
down the valley, besides many channel
improvements. The proposed reser-
voir at New Ulm has been dropped,
due to the fact that the local damage
that it would cause would be pro-
.hibitive.
A petition for the com pletion Of the
work according to the plans will soon
be ready for filing with Clerk Of Court
Carl P. Manderfeld in this city, and
viewers are now at work at Ortonville
and the upper end Of the valley. a
hearing Of the project is expected in
district court some time next January
lit will be held in this city and it is
possible that all of the district court
judges for the counties includediin the
Minnesota Valley Drainage and Con
servancy District will be present
Judge /. M. Olsen Of this city is chair
man Of the joint court. He recently
approved the running expenses Of the
work done thus far and ordered the
county auditors Of the affected coun-
ties to issue warrants on the county
treasurers for the pro rata amounts
to iquidate these claims.

erless duck, a white Pekin freak, bred
by George Frey Of the Sunnyside duck W
farm, is creating great excitement q M
among breeders, who see a way to
make fortune if "Fuzzy's'' tribe can
be increased.
It costs 6 cents to pluck a duck.
When a man has 10000 ducks to pre-
pare for market plucking runs into
money.
..F'uzzy'' came along more or less
by accident, but Mr.. Frey is dreaming
of the ledge" he would have if he
could run featherless duck farm.
Fuzzy" came into the world queer
" dressed. AS he grew older his coat
became queerer Some say it is
down, others think it is wool. At any
rate, it is shbrt, white and fuzzy.
Hence the name, n
''Fuzzy'' will head pen of breeders
from which Mr.. Frey expects eventual
ly to produce ducks that will do away
with the expense Of hiring FUCKERS.

charge Of the Mankato divisional head

partment, was a New Ulm visitor, re-
Gently, and during a friendly chat with
a representative Of the Review again
called our attention to an apparent
misunderstanding Of the federal amuse-
ment tax law relative to admissions to
dances. He discussed this statute
from a new angle.
1t seems that admissions to dances
in New Ulm and throughout this Sec
ton have been charged at the rate Of
81 90 per ticket, plus the 10 cents war
tax. These tickets are being sold only
to gentlemen, the ladies being adj
mitted freeof charge.
The law, according to Mr.. Memo,
specifies that a tax must be paid for
the ladies, who are admitted free, also,
and, all those who have conducted a
dance or dances during the past Is
months must remit the tax for every
lady admitted. A penalty for nom
payment is attached.
Apparently there are a goodly NUM-

Vienna. Finance and economics
seem to have parted company in Aus
tria.
With its money situation chaotic
there is at the same time a generally
acknowledged betterment of conditions
of living.
Travellers revisiting Vienna say they
do not recognize the city of a year ago.
The mass of the people are better
dressed, and more plentiful food is
shown in their healthy appearance.
The green and salloW faces have disap-
peared, and on the whole the Viennese
are nearly back to normal as far as
external evidence goes.
Paris can hardly show a more fash
ionably gowned crowd of women than
that which turns out for the ring prom
enade in the afternoon,or throngs the
high-class. shopping district in the
mornings.
Shops Display Luxuries.
4 The shop display of luxurious wares
of every description increases until the
Arbeiter Zeitung says it exceeds Wen
mas best days of before the war. The
same newspaper admits there iststeady

The famous delicatessen shops are;
reopening with almost their old-time
excellence. The windows are filled
with fancy dainties for which the city

can crackers and biscuits are common
in the grocery stores, the candy shops
are restocked, and While last winter a
pound of sweets was virtually unpro-
durable the finest fresh bonbons now
are to be had in any quantity.
White bread is served in nearly ev-
cry restaurant, and the bakery win
dows again display the famous Vienna
pastries and cakes. In the poorer dis
tricts even the butcher shops and gro
Gerry stores reflect the same condition.
Turning to finances the current

...,5 Everyone is Spending.
Everyone seems to have it and to be
spending it. Enormously advanced
prices for everything seem not to have
affected the volume of business.
Printing presses are now turning out
about 5,0o00OO,0OO crowns a month
to meet the government expenses. The
current budget shows a deficit of
$4,000, 100000 crowns. The wealth levy
has produced thus far about 5000, 0O0,-
600 crowns, half of which was paid in
war bonds, leaving enough cash from
this source to meet about one months

History Repeating Itself.

In our judgement the American public
would show a great deal of practical wis
dom if it paid less attention to gaudy bits
of POLITICAL Misunderstanding like Mr.. Har-
ding's conference on disarmament, and
kept its eyes firmly fixed on the Anglo
Japanese, Alliance. What is the status Of
that treaty, by the way--does anyone know?
It expired last month, and we have since
heard little about it. The last news we
had was that in default of ACTION by. the
British and Japanese Governments, the
terms Of treaty remained binding for a
year after it's nominal expiration. We fol-
lowed as closely as we could the news OF
the japanese Crown Princes recent visit
to London; and it all pointed to a re-
newal Of the treaty which, originally es-
tablished in 1902, has been already twice
renewed, once in 1905 and again in 1911.
Nevertheless, we know very little about
it and hear less. No one seems to be
paying much attention to it. This is a
pity, for one ounce of publicity on the
actual terms of the Anglo-Japanese ALL
ance would at this moment, in point OF
preventing war, be worth pound OF 1t
one year hence, and worth a thousand
tons Of sentimental moonshlne about
disarmament at any time.
One great reason why it is so wrong
for every one who is in a position to 40
so, MOTTO challenge sharply the silly myth
of a. German, plot. as responsible Tor the
late war, is that this myth SO effectively
obscrres reading Of our own country S
future. It prevents our seeing that as
Germany stood to Great Britain and
France over Morocco in 1904, the Unlted
States stands to Great Britain and Japan
over@ China at the present time. Yet
nothing can be clearer, if one has the
eyes ito see it; and as long as ones eyes
are dazzled by the myth of a German
plot, one can not possibly see it, Who
with his mind full of propaganda hum
bug about German ambition and the
Mad Dog Of Europe would think OF
Morocco? What has Morocco in 1904
to do with an unprovoked and murderous
assault on Europe in 1914? Well, one
may think, as one likes, OF course, but
one must also take the consequences; ard
very possibly the penalty Of American
blindness to the course of European diplo-
matte history between 1904 and 1914 will
be American blindness to diplomatic his
tory @now beginning. If so, it will be a
sufficient penalty.
The chief Powers of Europe agreed to
respect the. independence and integrity
Of Morocco. The French government
wanted an economic monopoly there. Inc
British Government wished to remain
undisturbed in the exploitation OF Egypt.
10 19O4,by a secret agreement which the
English Parliament did not discover until
1911, and then only by accident, the Brit
ish Government consented to countenance
the French monopoly of Morocco if the
French would not disturb the British
monopoly of Egypt. Germany was the
only important competitor in Morocco,
She had treaty, a diplomatic establish
ment, considerable commercial estab-
lishment, and was q party to the original

Observation-Disclosures Of war between the Unit
led States and England. Wars, it is true,
are fought on sentiment sentiment man
ufactured after the fact, manufactured
by journalists, crooks, dollar-a-year men,
politicians, blackguards, armament max
ers, international bankers, clergymen and
But wars are never pr
ganized on sentiment; far from it. There
is no more sentiment in a Foreign Office
than there is in a bank. 1t is the failure
Ito recognize this fact that nullifes most
|of the well-1neant efforts after disar1na
naent and international peace. We can
not see that war with England is irnpos-
|sible. The United States stands in pre-
|cisely the same relation to England as
Germany bore in 1914, that of q first
class exporting Power whose competition
is serious. There are many more acute
differences between the two countries
than were between England and Germany.
Shipping is one, oil is another, debts
another; then there is Ireland and naval
development. If England pursues the
same policy towards us as she did towards
Germany since 1904, making a second
Morocco out Of China and a second
France out Of Japan, we have no difficult
ty whatever in imagining war with
England. Moreover, there is no reason
that we II can see why she should pursue
any other policy. Everything seems set
for her historic role as completely as 1t
was in 1904, and every consideration OF
|self-interest intinates that she should
play that role. There can be no greater
mistake, furthermore, than to suppose
that this last war has enlightened, human
lied or otherwise changed the theory
of the practice Of international relations.
Nothing of the sort has taken place;
nothing Of the sort is even remotely
likely to take place.
Under the circumstances then, the
terms Of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance are,
in our opinion, the most significant to
Americans Of any transaction at present
going on in the public life of the world.
We mean too, the real terms OF that
alliance, not such terms as are made pub
lie by Japan or England. We mean
specifically the terms as effecting the
future Of this country's economic position
in China, as bearing upon Japan's pro-
gressive integrity. The japanese and
British Governments have signifed. their t
desire that their alliance be replaced
by 1slarger" understanding which shall
include the United States Government
also. This is all very we'll. Germany was
a full party to such an understanding
over Morocco. The point is that no
matter what public understanding may
I be effected, the American public should pc
fully prepared for a possible encounter
with a private and confidential under
standing between the Governments OF
Great Britain and Japan. We earnestly
suggest that the myth Of German re-
1sponsibility for the war be no longer per-
mitted to obscure the view of Morocco
in 1904. From 1904 to 1914 was only
ten years; and what Morocco was then,
China is now; Japan is in the place OF
France, the United States is in the place
of Germany, and England is England

LA TOILETTE GEST $4,000
FROM u. S. GOVERNMENT
Wisconsin Scion Allowed Expenses
for Defending Himself Against
,r Attacks.

Certain newspapers in Minnesota
and elsewhere, which raised a great
hue and cry when a group of fanatics,
known as the Minnesota Safety Com
mission, preferred charges against u.
S. Senator Robert M. La Toilette OF
Wisconsin for the purpose of having
him expelled from the Senate on ac-
count of certain alleged disloyal re-
marks which he made during a speech
in st. Paul, have entirely neglected to
mention the fact that the Wisconsin
Scion has received the sum of $4,000
from the United States Government as
REIN bursement for expenses incurred
by him in defending himself before the
upper house Of Congress.
The Senate awarded Mr.. La Toilette
this amount before it recessed recent
ly, thus not only completely clearing
him of the charges preferred against
him, but also admitting that his per-
secution was an unwarranted act. The
Wisconsin Senator and all who be-
lieved in him are thus vindicated in the
eyes of official Washington, but the
Fighting Senator and his followers are
still considered. "disloyalI by the
capitol crowd in ST. Paul and certain
"milyunper-centers" here and else
where. While it is very encouraging
that the Senate has acknowledged the
wrong done Mr.. La Toilette, justice
will not be done until those responsible
for his persecution are forced to re
imburse the government.

visit with Mrs. Mueckl at Sleepy Eye,

Morocco as "a free market and the guar
antee of her independence and integrity
and she had scrupulously observed that
agreement. What followed may be
summed up in a few words. France and
England drew continuously together IN
I the economic freezing-out OF ~ Germany.
which involved them in secret military
and naval agreements; and this IN turn
carried upon England contingent liabl-
/ lily for the alliance which France had
made viii Russia.
Putting it mildly, no nation relishes
being frozen out Of a market by the I'M
derhanded collision of two other nations,
which, with itself, have agreed that the
market shall be free under q policy OF
political independence and territorial IN
tegrity. Just here is where American
interest in the o-Japanese treaty
comes in, or ought to come in. Speak
ing plainly, we have already had enough
experience with our friends in the British
Foreign Office to know that they are as
free with secret treaties and understand
ings as certain persons are with a NTH
ace in poker-deck. The Japanese pulled
one out Of their pocket at Versailles and
confronted Mr.. Wilson with it when he
was lecturing them about the improperly
Of their proposal to steal Shantung. Japan
also appropriated Korea, notwithstanding
it's independence was nominated IN the
original bond of the Anglo-Japa Al
lance; and one would like to know wheth--
er that deal also was covered by q secret
understanding. Great Britain, at all
events, has never openly put any more re-
strainta on the impetuosityT q. her asso-
ciate than she did upon France IN the
little affairs of Casablanea and Fez.
The tact is that Japan, precisely like
France in Morocco during the ten years
following 1914, has Of late been busy as
bee with progressive encroachments upon
the sovereignty, independence and lnteg-
rity of China, and if Great Britain has
been aggrieved by her ally's activities,
she has somehow managed to conceal her
chagrin.
There are certain disagreeable facts
that one can not help recalling. Eng
lands traditional policy, until very lately,
has been to support the independence
and integrity Of China. Just so for TWEEN
Ity years and more, up to 19O4--as long
in fact, as Morocco was a topic OF serl-
Gus conversation among the Great Powers
she supported the independence and IN
tegrity Of II Morocco. Her abandonment
Of that policy was curiously coincldent
with the rise of Germany into q position
of significant rivalry with England as a
first-class exporting Power. Under these
circumstances England's policy ands 1T
is an exceedingly long-headed and wise
one-is always to move for a re-grouplngg
of national interests by close alliance
with her next-but-one economic rival and
I it's associates. This is what is really
meant by the pious formulate about the
balance of power" By this means,
when a collision comes, England is al
ways able to 60 through it with a maxi
mum Of profit and minimum Of econoln-
ic exhaustion at the end; as her position
after the late war, with reference to that
of her European associates, shows most
Iimpressively.
