Facts and Figures


In Regard to the One Saloon Idea
from Where it has been Tried
Mayor John G. Knapp of Sis
was registered at the st. Hubert
last Sunday, having come in on
the Saturday afternoon flyer
from the west. The train was
several hours late, and conse-
quently Mr.. Knapp missed
catching the Sisselon train
north for his home, and was
obliged to Sunday in Milbank
Mr.. Knapp had been out at
Lemmen, where he had gone on
invitation of the commercial club
of that enterprising little city,
the club requesting him to go
there and give them plain
statement of the "Sisseton plan"
of handling the saloon business.
Mr.. Knapp sail that when he
arrived at Lennon he expected
simply have to talk over the mat
ter in an informal manner with
few of the commercial club,
but he found that the meeting
was announced with hand bills
and the commercial club rooms
We're not large enough to accom-
modate the crowd that was anx-
iouS to hear the SisSeton plan
explained. and the opera house
had to be secured for the pur-
pose.
Mr.. Knapp is the mayor of
Sisseton under whose admins
tration the socalled municipal
saloon was established and is
being conducted. In conversa-
ton with him in regard to the
financial part of the plan he
gave US the following summing
up of the situation. these figures
being taken from the saloon
books, kept by perfectly reli
able citizen, engaged in one of
the banks, and Mr.. Knapp
vouches for their correctness.
They are the balance after eight
months Of the new plan:
Paid city $4,000
Paid Good Roads Com 1000
Cash in bank 1875
Stock on hand $500
n-expired license 76o
Total for $ mos Sl3, SAC
At same rate I mos to
come 6,9oo'
Total for year $50, 100
Mr. Knapp is we'll known to
the people Of Milbank, having
been resident of the city for a
number Of years. and held i'm
portant offices in city and county
and those who know him
know he could not be induc-
ed to make any misrepresenta-
tation in this matter, and the
figures given here cannot be
successfully disputed.
The figures show that in this
one-Saloon plan the clean profits
III Sisseton after paying license
and all other expenses. amount
ed to Sl3, $40 for eight months,
and that if the profits of the
last four months of the year
shall be at the same rate the
yearly profit will amount to
$40. 80.
Gentlemen, here are some
facts we cannot get away from,
and if license is voted next
month the taxpayers Of Mil
bank should petition the city
council to adopt similar plan Of
saloon control as has been SO
successfully adopted in Sisseton.

Ideal Conditions for Submarines.
The sinking of the British cruiser
Hawke by German submarine caused
something of a sensation In naval
circles here, following. as 1t did. the
loss Of several other British warsh1ps
in the same manner. In no perceptlble
degree has this disaster weakened the
conviction of the senior naval omcers
here that the battleshfD IS stlll the
ideal naval weapon of offense and de-
fense. 1t is admitted, however, that
where submarines can be operated
under conditions such as obtain In the
late fall and winter season In the
North sea, they are capable Of work
ing great harm to a blockading fleet.
Probably some new method of naval
tactics must be evolved to meet the
new conditions which the operation of
the German submarines have shown
to exist
The thick fogs that are to be ex-
pected at this season in northern
waters; the numerous coastal islands,
with their deep channels. affording
easy refuge and hiding places for the
ton which the submarine bases enjoy
through the extensive mine field
planted by the Germans, are declared
by American naval experts to make
the conditions ideal for the employ
ment of submarines.
One naval expert pointed out that
the presence of German shore bat
teries commanding the mine fields was
the principal obstacle to the success
of the determined attempt by the Brit
ish fleet to destroy these protective
bases for submarines by the usual
method Of sweeping" .he bottom by
cables attached to torpedo boats and
other light craft. 1t was to be pre-
sumed, however. that the British might
seek to find some compensation in the
dense North sea fogs by utilizing them
to mask their own operations against
the German mine field. in which case

earlier methods Of naval warfare.

The Sunken Cruiser.

The Sunken Cruiser.
The British cruiser Hawke was OF
7.35O tons displacement. She was 36(
feet long, of 60 feet beam and drew 2;
feet of water. She was sister shiE
of the Edgar, Endymion, Grafton, The
seus and Gibraltar.
While the Hawke was laid down in
lime of 1889, she was launched at Chat
ham March II, 1891.
Her armament consisted of two 9.2-
inch guns, ten six-inch guns. twelve
.ix-nounders, five three-pounders, two
,,,cbine guns and two torpedo tubes

FAILS To OBSERVE
NEUTRALITY ORDER

Rear Admiral Moore, commandant of
the naval station at Honolulu, was or
dered today to close the Marconi wire

hours unless the company gave a sat
isfactory explanation of the sending Of
a wireless dispatch announcing the ar
rival of the German gunboat Geier
The Navy Department" says a state
ment issued by Acting Secretary Roose-
welt, has received a dispatch from
Rear Admiral Moore, commandant Of
the naval station in Hawaii, stating
that Immediately upon the arrival at
Honolulu of the German gunboat Geier
and during the temporary absence Of
the navy censor the Marconi Wireless
Company sent a wireless message an

.Inasmuch as this action constitutes
a clear violation Of neutrality. because

to demand at once an explanation of

and that in case a satisfactory e1plana-
tion is not received within twenty

II was pointed out by Mr.. Roose-
welt that the message was sent through
the air, and If the English or the ves-
sells of the other allies were in the
vicinity they could put on more steam
and rush to Honolulu to await for the
Geier to proceed to sea. If the mes
sage had been sent as a cable the
matter was different, but it furnished
information which could easily have
been picked up by other belligerents.
No Orders for Interning.
AS no orders were issued from here,
it was said. to have the vessel interned
at Honolulu, it was stated that this
action must have been voluntary on
the part of the Germans, probably due
to fear of capture. as the Geier was a
small ship. The internment of the YES
sci, no official announcement of which
had been made to the Navy Depart
ment, would not make any difference,
it was declared, in regard to the wire

spectacular victory for the Germans

Whether this be SO future events only
can show, but the British contention
is that with the sea binding the Ger

fore effectively used.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The British admiralty an
nsounees s' that the cruiser Hawke
was sent to the bottom in tn.
North sea by a German sub
marine yesterday. The loss of
life on the Hawke is not made
known, but the warship belonged
to an older class of vessels that
ordinarily carry about 500 officers
and men. Only fifty of her crew
are known to have been saved.
The French war office an
nounced this afternoon that the
progress of the allies indicated in
yesterdays communication had
been confirmed. The field of ac-
ton on the left wing of the allied
armies extends from the region
of Ypres to the sea.
There was no official word
from Berlin up to early afternoon,
but news dispatches report that
the Germans marching on Ostend
are within ten miles of their OBJ
jective, having occupied Blanken-
berghe, a town on the Belgian
coast connected by rail with
Ostend.
The French embassy here has
received advices saying that the
allies have captured Hannes-
camps, a town about ten miles
north of Albert.
Petrograd claims that the Ger
man movement on Warsaw has
been stopped, the Germans be-
ing driven back several miles.
Przemysl, it is asserted, is on the
verge of capitulating.
Vienna, on the contrary, an
nounces that the commander of
the fortress at Przemysl brusque-
ly refused request to surrender
October 2, and that since that
date the Russian besiegers have
been defeated and the city re-
lieved.
