BLOOM
HUNGRY
FOR JOB
OFFERED TO BE NEUTRAL
IN RETURN FOR VOTE
OF GRoNNA.
PLEADED With hCUmbEn
Said He Would Retract Criticism
Of Senior Senator and Be
Good.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 27.-Be-
hind the refusal of the Senate to con-
firm John H. Blooms appointment as
postmaster Of Devils Lake is some in
teresting political history.
1t has leaked out that Bloom sent
an emissary down to Washington and
promised that he would be neutral In
GrOnna's fight for the United States
senate il Gronna would withdraw. his
opposition to Eloom's appointment as
postmaster of Devils Lake.
Gronna refused to do so and at the
same time served notice that he
would fight Bloom to the last ditch.
So far as the Bloom appointment was
concerned Senator McCumber took
the same attitude as Gronna, refusing
to give Blcom the slightest hope OF
any support.
Writes Letter to lMccumber.
About the time that the Bloom en-
issary arrived at Washington to in
tercede in the interests of the Devils
Lake editor, Senator McCumber re-
celved letter from Bloom asking for
his support too.
Senator McCumber replied that
Bloom had maliciously lied about him
in his paper and that he was not in
clined to assist him in this affair.
Ill Bloom is Penitent.
Bloom penitent came back offering
to retract Whatsh had said and vir-
tually admitted that he had been un-
fair to the senior senator Senator
McCumber never replied to this let
ter.
Senator Gronna suggested to United
States Treasurer Burke that Blooms
name be withdrawn but he replied
that Blooms name would never be
withdrawn.
The rejection of the Bloom nomina-
ton was unanimous, even the Demo
Gratis admitting that the appointment
was illadvised owing to- Blooms rec
ord which was freely aired in an exc
cutive session Of that body.

The apparent inaction OF arm
les as indicated in the official
statement is explained by the
frightful exhaustion Of both sides
who for days have been fighting
furiously. Losses Of both armies
are appalling, particularly those
Of the Germans. As an illustra-
tion Of casualties among the Ger
mans, a prisoner relates that two
German regiments, the liz and
142, lost 50 heavily that they were
made into one and only sixty men

SAHARA OF AMERICA is
TURNED INTO ROSE GAR
DEN BY FRESH RAIN

Tucson, Ariz, Dee. 2S.-That the
desert vegetation is active very late
IL the season this year due to the
continuous rains, is the statement OF
Or. D. r AlcDougall, director of the
Carnegie Desert laboratory. The
records show that there has been an
extra rainfall.
| Or. McDougall and his assistants
have made careful observations con-
corning the relation between the
heavy and unusual rains this fall and
the growth Of vegetation and have
arrived at the conclusion that the
continued growth of the desert flora
is due to the excessive rainfall. The
unusual phenomenon has given an
opportunity for a new line of study
and research.
"A number Of the scientists at the
laboratory expect to attend the an
nual meeting of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Science to be held at Philadelphia in
