Bemidji and Sank Centre Want
Better Train Accommodations
DELEGATES TO MEET HERE


Residents Of towns through which
the lBemidji-Sauk Centre line of the
Great Northern passes, are taking
an active interest in the establish
ment of a night service to the twin

lated in each place, but the propo-
sition of holding a meeting here is
being discussed.

ids urges that a meeting be held in
Bemidji at as an early date as will
be convenient, at which every town
along the line have a delegate and to

is made and the probable results
should it be granted, while the rail-
road officials will also tell of their
position in the matter.

Besides the question of better
train service on the Great Northern,
many other matters of Importance
will be brought ilp for consideration
at the meeting of the Commercial
club this evening. The summer ho-
tel proposition will he thoroughly
discussed and decision of definite
nature is expected to he made. George
Cochran, the Bemidji logger, has
been invited to attend the meeting
and he will be asked to tell of the
plan he has offered, which was ex-
planned in the Pineer of a week ago.
Other propositions will also be talked
over.

mittee, organized several weeks ago
in Minneapolis for the purpose of
securing of funds for the construc-
tion Of a Minnesota building at the
Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915,
and the advertising of the state in
the east so as to cause people enroute
to the fair to visit here will bring
the matter up for consideration to-
night.
Endeavor is being made to raise
100000 in the state, of which $500
would come from this county. Mime

900. The plan is to secure the
money by notes, subscribed by bust
ness men, and to request the next
legislature to reimburse them. At
the last session the law makers de-
cided that no appropriation should
be made, although nearly every state
in the Union will have a represen-
tation.

Germany, Russia and Japan have
signiiied their acceptance of the priu-
ciple of these treaties though neeo-
tiations have not advanced to the
point of drafting conventions. SINH
lar agreements with Turkey and
Greece are almost ready for sigma
ture.
The first four treaties are ready
for signature. They are regarded by
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan as of far-reacnIng Importance
practically safeguarding the Uni
ted States from being drawn into the
present conflict over any question Of
neutrality or other controversy. Their
IHenegotiation was begun, however,
before the European war broke out.
Witi the signing of treaties with

kind negotiated by Secretary Bryan
will number 26. Nineteen haze been
ratified by the senate, comprising

hopes to have the 80 treaties ratified

believes a years time will have the
effect OF "sober second thought" on
all nations and prevent an outbreak

Europe has just plunged itself into
war.

TURN OF TIDE IN

London, Sept. 10.-The corrospon-

France, describing the turn Of the
tide i'm favor of the allied 'or,es.
says:
From trustworthy sources it is re
ported we have already cut part OF
the German line of communication i'm

able we shall soon be anIe - drive
them back upon their ammunition
and supply column:
AT the same time one cannot
withhold tribute OF admiration to
the extraordinary ana efficient wav in
which the German cavalry played
their part. 1t now seems certain the
German advance, which so scared us
last week, was the throwing forward
OF screen OF cavalry to mask the
enemy's thanking movement eastward
and that they had no present il n
ton of investing Paris.
THE two chief factors in this war
are artillery and exhaustion. II ia
undoubtedly "a contest of guns.
While the great battle is raging
to the eastward OF Paris the western
region of France is gradually being
relieved of Germans. They have
been seen as far west and south as
Glsors, Il miles southwest on
Hauvais, but they are now so miles
from Gisors, and how they have been
driven to evacuate this region so
rapidly is one of the mysteries of the
great campaign which is being only
partly revealed by the official dis
patches"

THE KAISER PROTESTS
TO PRESIDENT WILSON
Against Alleged Use of Dunn
Dunn Bullets by Allies.
THE WHITE HOUSE SILENT.
Inc German Emperor Says His
Heart Bleeds for the Belgium
City of Louvain.

Washington, Sept 9.-President
Wilson today received personal
cablegram from Emperor William of
Germany, protesting against the use
by the allied army OF dum-dum bull
lets and the participation in the war
by civilians of Belgium. The message
also expressed the German Emperor's
deep regret at the destruction of the
Belgian city Of Louvain.
MY heart bleeds for Louvain," is
one of the phrases the Emperor is
understood to have used He dec
ciared however, that the population
OF Belgium had offered such resi-
stance that his generals in many
cases had found it necessary to ad-
minister severe punishment
Contents of the message was close
ly guarded. No one at the White
House or State Department would
admit officially that it had arrived.
even though press dispatches from
London and Copenhagen gave an
outline of the dispatch early in the
day. The reason for the secrecy not
divulged. Persons who knew the CON
tents of the message however. dec
clared it did not ask the President to
take any action, but simply laid be-
fore him the Emperor's contentious
in connection with the controversy
that has arisen over alleged atrocities
by the German army in Belgium
Te knowledge that an official com
munication was enroute from Bel
gium to lay before President Wilson
the Belgian side OF the case is belived
to have prompted the Emperor to
make personal explanation OF the
incident to Washington
1t is not known what reply Presi-
dent Wilson will make, but the atti-
tude of the Washington Government
toward protests of this had in the
present war heretofore mas been one
of neutral auditor
The use OF dum-dum bullets and
the unnecessary destruction of prop
erty are prohibited by articles OF The
Hague Convention. The only penalty
provided for violating them is the
imposition OF an indemnity at the
end OF the war upon the countries
guilty OF such violations. Belligerents
therefore. are anxious to place their
cases on record so that at the final
reckoning i'm the peace councils which
will terminate the war, appropriate
consideration may be given to their
claims.
At the French embassy denial not
only was made that the Allies had
been using dum-dum bullets, but the
opinion was expressed that no man
ufacturer in France was able to make
such bullets.

KING GEORGE TO THE
BRITISH COLONIES
Thanks Dependencies for Aid
in War.
SAYS TRIED TO AVOID WAR
But Could Not Stand by in Honor
When Pledges Were
Broken.

London, Sept. 9.-The official infor-
nation bureau today gave out this
message from King George to the
British colonies:
During the past few weeks the
peoples of my whole empire at home
and over seas have moved with one
mind and purpose to confront and
over throw an unparalleled assault
upon the continuity OF cIvlizati , and
the peace of mankind.
The calamitous conflict is not nv
seeking. My voice has been cast
throughout on the side of peace. My
ministers earnestly strove to allay
the cause of the strife and to an
pease differnce with which nv en-
pire was not concerned. Had / stood
aside when in defiance of pledges to
which my Kingdom was a party the
soil of Belgium was violated, her
cities made desolate, when they very
life OF the French nation was threat
ened with extinction, l should have
sacrificed my honor and given to de
struction the liberties of my empire
and of mankind.
DECISION ENDORSED.
Il rejoice that every part of the
empire is with me in this decision.
Paramount regard for a treaty Of
faith and the pledged word of rulers
and peoples is the common heritage
OF Great Britain and OF the empire.
My peoples in the selfgoverning do
minions have shown beyond all doubt
that they whole-heartedly endorse
the grave decision it was necessary
TO take. My personal knowledged Of
the loyalty and devotion OF my over
sea dominions had led me TO expect
that they would cheerfully make the
great efforts and bear the great sacri-
fies which the present conflict en-
tails. The full measure in which
they have placed their services and
resources at my disposal fills me
with gratitude, and | am proud to be
able to show to the world that my
peoples oversee are as determined
as the people of the United Kingdom
to prosecute just cause to sue
cessful end.
The Dominion of Canada, the
Commonwealth of Australia, and the
Dominion of New Zealand have
placed at my disposal their naval
forces, which have already rendered
good service for the empire. Strong
eXpeditiOnary forces are being pre-
pared in Canada, Australia and New
Zealand for service at the front, and
the Union of South Africa has re
leased all British troops and under
taken the important military re.
sponsibilities, the discharge OF which
will be of the utmost value to the
empire"

sorts of big surprises.
Last night they gave us what they
called a Carabet Smoker. 1t was one
big time from start to finish, with
not a number on the vaudeville pro-
gram that wasn't a "star."
Any one of these convention fea-
lures would have justified my trip
there nothing else on the program.
The whole convention impresses me,
as I have never been impressed be-
fore, with the magnitude of the Unit
ed Drug company. You probably
know what the "Rexall Idea" means,
but if you don't, you'll be interested.
The United Drug Company was
formed twelve years ago by Louis X.
Liggett, at a time when there was
absolutely no cooperation among re-
tail druggists, who were making their
own proprietary remedies in the back
shop, buying their goods in small
quantities at long prices, and in gen
eral conducting business with great
deal of waste. Mr.. Liggett saw that
if the buying power and manufac-
gists could be combined, the result
would be better service, higher grade
goods and lower prices for the public.
Beginning with forty of the best
known retailers in the country, he or
ganized the United Drug company
and began to manufacture Rexall
Remedies. The remedies were made
right and sold right, and the public
was protected by guarantee of sat
isfaction or money back. Mr.. Liggett
thought it best to give privilege of
selling Rexall goods to only one man
in each locality.
No man was allowed to become a
Rcxall druggist unless his financial
standing and character were above
reproach. 1t wasn't long before the
public realized that The Rexall Store
that man could be trusted, and that
better, last longer and cost less than
goods bought elsewhere. Then peo-
pie began to ask for other goods
"made by the same people who make
Rexall." To meet this demand the
United Drug company began to man
ufacture other goods.
In 1903 our business was confined
to one building, comprising only 3d.
900 square feet of floor space. Today
United Drug company owns and op.
crates factories, mills, laboratories
warehouses and branches, all over the
United States, Canada and Great
; Britain and we require more thar
J 1,004, 900 square feet of floor space
or over 25 acres-to supply the public
. with Rexall Remedies; Liggett's Fen
way and Saturday Candy and Guth'.
