March
31, 1917 – Headed by Mayor L. A. Fritsche, a delegation of New
Ulm citizens left today for Washington, D. C., to present a resolution memorializing
President Wilson, U. S. Senators Knute Nelson and Frank Kellogg of Minnesota
and Representative F. E. Ellsworth of this district to use every possible means
to avoid involving this country in war with Germany.
The resolutions were adopted at a peace meeting last night at the New Ulm armory. More than 1,000 people attended. The resolutions declare that there is no adequate reason for plunging this country into the war and protest against such action.
