1t is amusing to read Mr.. Hammond's attempt to
deny that the liquor interests during the last few
have been dominating factor in Minnesota politics. He
endeavors becloud the issue by challenging Mr. Lee
any high state official thus controlled Everybody
who has any knowledge of the real condition of things in
connection with the matter knows that that influence has
been mainly exerted in the legislature and here Mr. Ham
mond's party has formed almost sodly the nucleus
around and through which this sinister and corrupting
organization perfected And if Mr. Hammond will
study the matter little closer. he will find that it
during the administration of John A. johnson that the q-
interests gained their greatest accendancy and
but that that power far its capacity for doing harm
concerned, mainly exerted in the legislature.
How far its influence affected any of the states executive
officers is merely matter of conjecture and of very little
practical value unless it be shown that laws
been enforced or protection illegally granted If Mr..
Hammond, however, wants all he has do is to
study the roll calls in the legislature during the last few
sessions MILAN Standard

Carranza Won't Attack.

General Carranza has informed the
United States government he will not
attack General Villa, but will order
his forces to be on the defensive and
resist attack.
The first chiefs communication de.
clared the national convention would
be held as scheduled on Oct. l, when
provisional government would be
established which, he hoped would be
satisfactory to the United States.
The isolation of Mexico City from
communici lion and the cutting of all
wires between the United States and
points in northern Mexico were re.
ported to the government. AS result
the administration is without news ,.s
to events in Mexico City either in Car
rama or villa territory.
The cutting of railroad and tele
graph lines from Mexico City to Vera
Cruz is attributed to General villa.
This formal statement was issued by
the war department:
Numerous inquiries were made
here and of General Funston with re.
spect to the date of the departure OF
the American troops from Vera Cruz.
In view of The matter which must be
first settled no date can at present
be fixed, but in no event can the de-
parture take place within the next ten
days, and General Funston was so ad.
yised."

URGES MORE SUBMARIN MES
Secretary Daniels Sees Lesson In Eu
ropean Naval Battles.

The need of intracoastal canals and
the wisdom of building more sub
marines and fewer dreadnoughts are
the lessons the United States should
draw from the naval activities of the
European war, according to Secretary
Daniels, who was addressing the At
lantic deeper waterways convention.
The secretary said
"lf we had war we could rely upon
a great intrdCostal waterway in which
we would have the advantage of send.
ing the effective submarines up and
down and letting them slip from the
numerous exits to catch the enemies
ships unawares wherever they might
be attempting to lombard our coasts
or shell our great ships and bring
them to terms. 1t would enable us to
bring our resources to bear in the con.
test and if we can do that we would
be almost sure to win. If not we
would probably lose the war"

GARRISON'S POSITION CRITICAL

Cracow and Are overrunnng the
Country In That Part of Galcia

A dispatch from Petrograd says the
Russian general STAFF announced that
the Russian advance toward Silesia
is proceeding irresistibly and that the
Galicia campaign has been successful.
That the Russians are now in pos,
session of the greater part of the city
OF Przemysl is stated in u dispatch
from ViennP, which says:
"The Russians approached the city
from the southwest, forcing the Aus.
trians to take shelter in the eastern
forts, where the entire garrison is con
centrated, and is preparing to make a
final resistance. The situation of the
garrison is critical, as 1t is entirely
surrounded.
Russian troops are advancing from
Grodek on the Austrian positions,
while the right wing continues to at,
tack from the north. Troops are being
poured into the city of Przemysl to
press the attack from the southwest" 3"
Germany is reinforcing her army
in east Prussia at the rate of one army
corps per day." says dispatch from
Petrograd.
These reinforcements are being
carried by $50 trains on all four avail.
able railroads. Other troops are being
| hurried from Berlin and SchneidemuEl
/ to Baltic ports and thence by sea to
east Prussia.
"All this is in preparation for the
great ard iecisive battle soon to be
fought along the whole western line.
"At least 100000 German troops are
now gathered in an effort to balance
the Austrian failures. The armies are
already in touch and the grand battle
is bound tC come soon. The Russians
will have the advantage, however, be.
cause the fighting will be on ground
chosen by the Russian leaders"
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph has forwarded the fol.
lowing semioilicial statement regard.
ing the operations in Russian Poland:
"The movement of German troops
from east Prussia in the direction OF
Warsaw has come to nothing. In the
government of SuwalM (Russian Po.
land) the Germans have suffered a
serious repulse. The left flank of the
Russian army has defeated the Ger.
man troops under the command of
General Won Hindenburg near Su,
walki."
