The New Ulm Review discusses a rat infestation along the Minnesota River bank near Eagle Mill and the old saw mill. It urges immediate action to clean the site, cites disease risk and food loss, and contrasts disease control with mere mercy work by the Red Cross.
The Review says it will help the boys in every way but declines to roam the city asking business men for two or three hundred dollars to fill the purse, even if the government or others suggest it. The stance emphasizes backing without mounting a broad local fundraising drive.
An editorial calls for broad support of the Red Cross, warning against stinginess in relief gifts. The piece also discusses free speech during war, citing Roosevelt and Judge Hand, stressing that expressing opinions about government or war is protected, while sedition requires direct acts to oppose recruiting. It references Max Eastman and the Masses trial and defends constitutional rights.
An opinion piece argues for absolute free trade after the war, denouncing new German and allied protectionist treaties as likely to provoke future conflict. It warns that U S and allied protection would burden consumers and entrench ruling classes, opposing Wilsonian free market ideals. A Minnesota note calls for a coordinated culling of crows and other birds to protect grain crops, with plans to target nests along Swan Lake and railroad strip near New Ulm.
An editorial extols the Red Cross for its essential, non arguable role in relief work. It emphasizes unwavering public support and private generosity as mandatory, urging a national commitment without conditions.
