WILL ATTACK GERMANS

London, Dec. S.-An offensive move
ment of the allies against the German
armies on French and Belgian soil
apparently is being extended gradual
ly and now, according to the best
available information, covers a large
bart of the battle line from the North
sea to Switzerland.
The official French statement, while
worded in the cautious manner
that has characterized these commu-
nications recently, specifically men
tions offensive movements in Belgium,
in the regions of Armentieres, Arras
and the Aisne, and in the Argonne. At
all these points, it is said, the su-
periority of the French offensive has
been shown.
The German forces, which succeed
ed in pushing their way across the
User canal in the battles last month,
in which both sides suffered severely,
are said by the French war office now
to have been forced out of their posi-.
tions, with the exception of troops in
few entertainments still under at.

COUNCIL PLANS TO
REDUCE EXPENSES
Aldermen at Meeting Monday Even
ing Point Out Items Where Cost of
Various Departments May be Cut
FIREMEN WANT NEW SYSTEM
City Will In Future Construct Suit
able Polling Places = Treasurer
Rhea Makes Quarterly Report.

Seven members of the city council
attended the meeting last evening,
the first in a month. Owing to the
absence Of President Murphy, Alder
man Lahr was appointed temporary
chairman. An unusual number Of
bills were presented for payment as
many had been carried over from the
first two weeks of the month, when
the regular meeting was postponed
owing to the lack of quorum. All
bills were accepted but complaints
were made upon the heavy charges
for the rent of polling places in the
various wards. Among the largest
was the charge sent in by Henry
Miller, who is to receive eighteen
dollars for the use of his store at
the last election.
Several suggestions were made to
lessen the expenses for the elections
and it is probable that, in the future
movable buildings will. be erected in
each ward for this purpose. -
Carter Cuts Cost.
A. A. Carter, street commissioner,
acting upon the advice Of the street
committee, has cut the cost of the
road maintenance expense to a very
small amount. During the first two
weeks of November the cost of up
keep for the city streets amounted to
over seventy dollars, while during
the past two weeks the entire cost
did not exceed ten dollars.
Other cuts will also be made in
the various departments and the run
ming expenses reduced to mini
num- The cost of supporting the
city poor has been slightly increased,
but as yet there are only eleven reg
ular boarders in the city poor house
and three in the local hospitals.
An itemized statement was also
rendered showing the cost to date for
the we'll which is being dug for the
city. The total expenditures at the
present time amounts to $6,772. The
matter was turned over to the water
committee, city engineer and city at
torney for investigation.
Ordinance is Passed.
City Clerk Stein read ordinance
number seventy-five for the third
time. It requires all junk
dealers and local concerns dealing
in second hand goods to obtain a
license. The object of this ordinance
is to prevent minors and irresponsi-
BILE persons from buying and dispos-
ing of goods that may have been stol-
en-. The ordinance also requires
that all persons receiving license,
report to the local police any cases
where parties disposing of goods
mays have obtained the article
through theft.
Want New System.
William Melville, member Of the
local fire department, appeared be-
fore the council in behalf of that Or
ganization, and asked that the alarm
system be changed. According to
| Mr.. Melville the system now in use
is unsatisfactory and in case of a bad
night fire it would be difficult to
| arouse all of the fire fighters The
| matter was turned over to the fire
committee with power to act if the

GRAND TO SHOW SEAL FILM
Manager Woodmansee Successful in
Effort to Bring the "Temple Of

TO COME HERE NEXT MONDAY

After much effort, G. J. Woodman-
see, manager of the Grand theater,
has arranged to show the Red Cross
Christmas Seal Film, known as the
"Temple Of Moloch," next Monday
evening. Nearly every motion pic
ture house in the state has applied

have the chance to see the literally
moving scenes of this stirring drama.
A young health officer tackling single
handed the appalling tuberculosis
situation in a great pottery, brings
down on himself, as "buttinsky,"
the wrath of the millionaire owner.
After an exciting struggle, between
ignorant avarice and enlightened
economic methods, the burden is
lifted from both employees and en-
ployer, and the young health officer
wins his point.
This film is shown by the courtesy
of the Motion Picture Exhibitors of
Minnesota, as their contribution to
the Red Cross Christmas Anti-Tuber-
culosis Seal campaign, and is man
aged by the Minnesota Public Health
association. Mr.. Woodmansee pays
for the privilege of showing it here.
1t is planned, announced Mrs. Har-
vey Wilcox, chairman of the Bemidji
seal committee, to sell stamps at the
Grand during the time the film is on
exhibition. A large number of
stamps are being sold in Bemidji.

WILL MAKE STUDY
OF ECONOMY PLANS
Reduction in Expenses and Reorgani-
zation Of Administration Scheme
Expected to Engage Attention.
10 CALM TAXATION COMPLAINTS
Governor-elect Hammond to Join
Senators and Representatives Who
Gave Pledges-Important Issue.

If the temper Of the people as re-
fected by the campaign promises
made by members-elect can be relied
on as evidence, the coming legisla-
ture will spend much of it's time in
reducing governmental expense and
reorganizing the present chaotic sys-
tenn of civil administration so that
the taxpayers may receive a dollars
worth Of service for each dollar paid
into the state treasury
To Plan Economy Scheme.
Devising some economy scheme
which will silence the complaints as
to excessive taxation seems to be the
chief issue before the senate and
house and will receive attention not
only from the members of these bo-
dies but from Governor Hammond
and his associates as we'll.
Both Mr.. Hammond and his Re-
publican opponent, w. E. Lee, seem
ed to sense during the campaign the
demand for lower state taxes and
each agreed, if elected to do all in his
power to bring about reduced legis-
lative appropriations.
Hammond Into Line.
Mr. Hammond undoubtedly will
make common cause with those sena-
tor and representatives who gave
similar pledges.
The state auditors records show
the total appropriations made by the
1913 legislature for the biennial per-
iod ending August l, 1915, were
$19, ,118, 8,457.S2. OF this $549,962.
SO was to complete the fiscal year
ending August 1, 1913; $9,231,219
for the 1914 fiscal year and $9,337,-
285 for the present twenlve-month
period
Met by State Revenue Fund.
This amount is met by the state
revenue fund, the general purpose
fund. This is raised by direct taxa
tion and also includes all miscellane-
Gus receipts, such as those from rail
road, telephone, telegraph and insur-
ance companies, private car lines, H.
censes and other similar items.
Although the appropriations for
the two years referred to aggregate
more than $19,000,0OO, only about
$3.0OO,00O annually, or $6,OOO,OOO in
all, Of this came from the direct tax
levy for the revenue fund paid by all
the people
From Other Sources.
The remainder, more than $13,-
100000, is accounted for by receipts
from the other sources indicated.
The assessed valuation of the COM
monwealth is SLABS, 900, 900 for 1914
and the levy will bring an income
OF approximately $7,100,O0O.
Important Problem.
The problem as a whole is one of
the most important ever taken up by
a Minnesota Legislature and much
hard work is ahead for the appro-
priaIiOns committees of the senate
and house if cut is to be made suf-
ficiently large to appease the clamor
OF the people and at the same time
Cne which will not endanger the eff
cheney of any of the state depart
ments or institutions.

ing caused to be served on Henry A.
Larson, chief special agent of the
government Indian department, an
order restraining him, or his depu-
ties, from in any manner destroy
ing or molesting any property of that
concern The restraining order
which is signed by Judge C. w. Stan
ton, upon petition of Marshall A.
Spooner, attorney for the brewing
company, expires on January II,
1915. ....- a.. .-
Came Unexpectedly.
Silent Larson, together with Depu-
ties L. w. Carson, j. C. LeMarr and
]. p. Brandt, reached Bemidji this
morning. Carson, Brandt and Lar
son left Bemidji two weeks ago. They
appeared rather surprised when the
restraining order was served upon
them this morning.
May Ship Beer.
The restraining order grants priv
ilege to the brewery to prepare what
beer it has under construction, and
70 cl, tN re ,fci1 nf q
treatysterritory. 1t will take about
six weeks for the material now on
hand to mature, and it is expected
that it will have all been shipped by
the time the restraining order ex-
pires.
All May Close.
Following the same plan as on
their previous visits here, the agents
are giving out no information in con-
nection with their work. The four
agents spent most Of the morning
here, Larson leaving on the noon
train for either Cass Lake or Bena,
it is believed, while Brandt autoed
to Turtle River where he informed
the saloon owner that he has until
Thursday to dispose of his stock and
suspend business.
It is believed that the entire ter
ritory covered by the treaty provi-
sions will be closed now. Only the
towns in which the order was issued
a month ago or by mail last week
have suspended operations.
May Hit Hibbing.
Wilton, it is understood, will be
closed and should the "dry" zone be
made to include the entire district,
Hibbing, Chisholm, Kelliher, Grand
Rapids, a portion Of Brainerd and
many other towns and villages will
be hit.
