New Ulm review., 1921-03-02

ing costly preparations for the next
war" our friends across the Atlantic
and Pacific cannot, for their own safety
disarm. But remember that Con-
gress will not act, even for joint dis
armament, unless the people Of the
United States insist.
Act promptly while there is a real
chance. Give time, thought money,
7oau, rather than neglect to do so and
be compelled to sacrifice your son,
your brother and other male kin later.
Stir up your business friends. Write
to your congressman. Get in touch
with the American Union Against
Militarism, 203 Westory Building,
Washington, D. C. But-do it To-
DAY!
Great Britain and France have
demonstrated their appreciation OF the
fact that we hurled our fighting forces
into the World war just in time to save
them from disaster, by double-crossing
President Wilson in the matter of
Yap island, an important cable station
IN the Pacific ocean, which they handed
over to Japan. And at that Woodrow
thought he had the affair clinched so
that the Orientals would not be allowed
to grasp that great vantage point in
their greedy hands. To cap the climax
Secretary of State Colby, who passes
out of Office with the dethronement. of
the Democratic administration, Friday
OF this week, writes a lengthy note pro-
testing against the granting of the
mandate over Yap island to- Japan.
Deprived of it's cloak of diplomatic
verbiage, Mr.. Colby's protest passes
the lie to our former allies for including
the United States in the list of nations
who have sanctioned the Japanese
mandate. England and France are
gathering the cream while our dollar
diplomats are peacefully reposing in
Morpheus arms
If it served no other purpose, the
arrest of two bibulous citizens and their
incarceration in the county Jail for
period of 80 days has caused healthy
scare to descend upon other local, as
welE as visiting tipsters, for the New
Ulm police force has not had occasion
to apprehend anyone for drunkenness
since. A cash fine is not so bad; but
80 days in jail and away from moon
shine and home brew-unthinkable
Therefore the cautious bibulations and
continued self-application Of the stand
ards with which sobriety is measured.
The Minneapolis Tribune is slowly,
but, apparently, surely returning to
sane viewpoint as regards the study of
Geman in the public schools of Mime
sofa. In view of past performances of
its then deluded editorial writer's, the.
gradual change in attitude is very
gratifying, for a sudden transition
might serve to cause Tribune readers
to become suspicious of the motives
back of the action. We welcome Mr..
Murphy's chief editorial writer back
into the fold Of common-sense scribes,
just as the rejoicing father welcomed
his prodigal son upon the latter's re-
turn home!
Editor O. j. Duane of the St. Peter
Herald became suddenly i'll with
stomach trouble while attending the
state editorial confab in the Twin
Cities last week and was hurried to
Rochester to let the Drs. Mayo look
into the matter. The ''mush' handed
out by his brother editors may have
capped the climax and caused his
stomach to rebel, especially so in view
of all the stuff that the ST. Peter
militarist-scribe had to swallow
during the last guberna torial campaign
in Minnesota. We trust that the
famous tersurgeons will succeed
in locating the offending foreign
matter" and remove it, if necessary by.
means of the knife, for not even a
newspaper man can enjoy unimpaired
health with 'revellous'' stomach.
