While many papers swallowed the German peace dope last Thursday and spread big headlines over their front page announcing the kaiser's sur render, the Union turned a deaf ear to the rumor, and failed to fall for the story which later proved to be a fake. Mrs. Frank Henschel recently re ceived a letter from Ray Leach, who is in France. In it he sends his regards to all his friends in Princeton. He is a splendid specimen of American man hood and has done his part to compel the Beast of Berlin to, figuratively speaking, bite the dust. Many of the boys who took active part in Monday's celebration presented a more or less ragged and tired ap pearance on Tuesday. Take Calvin Olson, for instance. He came into contact with the big circular saw while it was revolving and the result was a disorganization of his Sunday suit of clothes. The Enterprise suggests that steps be immediately taken to designate the federal highway passing through Mille Lacs county as the "Dunn highway." Mr. Dunn put forth eveisy possible ef fort to secure the choice of this, route, and it is surely fitting that it bear his name as a permanent recognition of his efforts in its behalf.Wahkon En terprise.

A Tribute From Soldier Boys. Camp Cody, N. M., Nov. 8,1918. Dear Mr. Prowse: The last issue of the Princeton Union was received yesterday and, to my surprise and great sorrow, read of the passing away of our dear old friend, Senator Bob Dunn. There are a few of us old Company boys from Princeton here who want to express our sympathy for the rel atives and friends of our late Senator. We, as soldiers, know the loss of our dear friend in this present crisis, and will miss the warm welcome and hearty handshake on our return home after the war is over. Senator Dunn was always ready to help anyone ih need, and in the eyes of the soldier boys was a very generous supporter, and as a loyal American citizen was 100 per cent. We wish to express our sympathy to the Dunn family in their great hour of sorrow. Roy Wilkes, Albert Rocheford, George Briggs, Oscar Nelson, Sergt. Albert Satterstrom. Belgian King to Enter Brussels. King Albert, at the head of his army, is expected to enter the capital of his country tomorrow. Vive la Belgium! TELL OF ENEMY'S APPROACH Certain Birds and Animals Make the Best Kind of Sentinels That an Army Can Employ. A wounded soldier, asked what had surprised him most in the battle zone, told of finding a robin's nest in an empty shell case. As a rule birds are the finest sen tinels in the animal kingdom. They become aware of approaching aircraft long before man hears anything. Early In the war parrots were kept at the Eiffel tower as sentinels, but they grew accustomed to the sound of en emy planes and were no longer of use. Pheasants always grow restless and chatter noisily if Zeppelins are ap proaching, even when they are far away, so far that man can hear no sound. -s What is perhaps stranger is the fact that such ordinary creatures as pigs should sight a balloon when it is com ing over. The "blister" makes no sound, yet, should one appear against the sky, miles from a farmyard, the farmer will be made aware of the fact by the curious antics of his pigs and the clucking of his hens. Toy dogs always are susceptible to the presence of danger, and many a pet shows uneasiness before a raid. Cats, too, show fear of gunfire and seem to know when danger threatens. Dogs, birds and horses are very sen sitive to sound. Watch the birds dur ing a daylight raid, listen to the dogs, and visit the stable where the horse restively stamps up and down. But that all animals can accustom them selves to sounds that cause fear is proved by our cavalry horses, dogs that accompany their, masters Into the firing line, and the robin's nest in the empty shell case. ~5*r St. Mihiel Party. One infantry company at the end of several hours' advance found that itliad cut off several score of Germans in a wood. The Germans didn't show any fight. Most of them didn't even exhibit enough nerve to come out and surrender. When it came time for the captain to make his periodical report %to his battalion P.

THE PRINCETON UNIO^-nHjmSDAT, NOVEMBER Good Advice. In this time of sorrow and joy it behooves us to listen to wise council. We were glad to hear the words spoken by Mr. E. L. McMillan to our people last Monday, and to see the kindly way in which they were received. I think many others who were not there ought to have heard the messagpe. A few of his points, if I caught his thought, were: "Those who do not like our institu tions,and our ways of doing let them go back to the land from whence they came. i "No more Swedish-Americans, no more Norwegian-Americans, no more German-Americans, but America for Americans. "We today can let pandemonium run loose, but don't let us do anything through the power of hate." It will be well for us to ponder over these words. There is a lot for us to do if Amei ica is to "be for Americans. Perhaps we all have different ideas in regard to how it is to be made so, and will give varied suggestions. Whatever We do in justice must be tempered with mercy. We are told that to put a bad man into heaven where all are good would be hell for him. In justice to the good and in mercy to the bad he should be removed and placed among his own kind. In America this war has taught us that there are many who do not feel at home here. They do not like our institutions. They do not like our ways. They do not like our form of government. There is only one thing they do like that is American and that is the dollar. What should be done with them? In justice to the boys who have fought, bled and died, to ourselves, and in mercy to them, they should be sent to their beloved fatherlands across the sea. Every congressman and senator in the United States should be requested by his people to see to it that those people are helped to rea,ch the home land which they love so well. We will not be bestowing upon them any great favor perhaps, but we will be doing our christian duty. "America for Ameri cans" should be our slogan. W. B. Milne.
