American Minister Refuses to
Talk on Arrival From
The Netherlands.
EYES HAVE GIVEN OUT;
is HERE FOR TREATMENT
Declines to Discuss Report That U. S.
and Holland May Join in Seek
ing End of War.

NEW YORK. November 24-Henry
Van Dyke, American minister to the
Netherlands, reached here today from
The Hague aboard the steamship Rot
terdam. The suggestion, published
originally in Amsterdam, that the time
was ripe for the United States and the
Netherlands to act in concert to bring
about peace in Europe, was brought
TO his attention. He refused to COM
ment on 1t. He was asked if the report
were true that he was the bearer of
a suggestion looking toward such ac-
tion from the government of Holland
to the United States. To this also he
declined to reply
Mr.. Van Dyke seemed to be thorough
ly conversant. however, with the sug-
gestlon and the report. Apparently
porters on this subject, for when they
boarded the ship at quarantine and
sought him out he had ready for them
statement which he had prepared in
advance.
Statement by Ambassador.
That statement read as follows:
An ambassadors first duty is to his
chief; and l am compelled to respect
instructions not to talk For the past
four months 1 have been having a
strenuous time. My eyes have given
way under the strain of day and night
work and 1 have obtained a leave of
absence to come home and see my oc-
ulfst AS soon as my eyes are patched
up l hope to return to my post and
continue working for my country and
for the cause of world peace in the
spirit of our Presidents declarations"
After reading the statement, DR.. Van
Dyke repeated that he was following
instructions in refusing to discuss the
situation. Several interviewers attempt
ed to question him. but raising his hand
in gesture which forbade them to
pursue the inquiry, he said:
Not another word; that is ALL If
so; until then l can say nothing"
Then, after an interval of silence, he
added:
when the madness that begun this
was has spent itself l hope that Amer
lea will have a great part to play in
wherein all the people of the world.
great and small, shall rejoice together.
Then the nightmare of blood will be
over and the palace of peace will have
its opportunity
Hollands Position Unchanged.
The position of Holland, DR.. Van
Dyke said. had been unchanged; it was
still neutral-firm and friendly" Hol-
lands kindness to the destitute of Bel
gium. he said. was beyond praise.
What about the standing of America
in the eyes of Europe?" he was asked
with all reasonable people, I be-
lieve that it is better than ever" he
said. "The warning nations trust us to
be fair, and they know that we will be
generous to help in the spirit of hu-
manity. The work that the American
commission for relief in Belgium is do
inG to save the women and children
from famine is proof of this"

TO OBSERVE FLAG DAY
Governor Eberhart Issues Proclama-
ton Designating Sunday, June IA
Comments on Country Loyalty
URGES HOMES TO BE DECORATED

Next Sunday, June IA, has. been
designated as Flag Day by Cover
nor Eberhart in proclamation
which he has just issued, and the
day will be generally observed IN
Bemidji and the state. The procla-
nation follows: -
':The imagination requires SYM
Dol to vizualize that which the mind
conceives. The love of home and
the love Of country are among the
strongest emotions which acute men.
The flag is the symbol of the patri-
cite regard for the country which
it represents.
I'VE of America have built and
are building the greatest country the
world has ever known. 1t is great
not only in territory and in resour-
ces, but above all, it is great in it's
ideals of living, it's tolerations, it's
opportunities, it's purposes and it's
aspirations. It is the melting pot
Of the world, a country conceived in
the idea of political and personal
liberty and destined to carry. that
ideal so long as providence shall see
in it a fitting instrumentality for
it's purpose. The stars and stripes
is the emblem of all that we, as
Americans, feel that our country is
and should be- -
1T is fitting and proper, therefore,
that the people of the. state pause
for moment in contemplation of
our national colors and renew allie
glance to the flag we love so much.
L therefore proclaim Sunday, June
IA, 1914, as Flag Day, and urge that
the day be observed by all American
citizens. I further suggest that
patriotic exercises be held in schools
and that the homes and public build
ings be decorated with American
colors"

With the probability that an or

in the territory covered by the treaty
of 1855, six liquor selling establish

owned and operated by six of fl the
twelve men who appealed to the
courts at the time of the Brent clos
ing order. on December 9, 1910. :.
Attorney Elmer E: Mcdonald, act
ing for the saloon men, secured an
order: from the state district court
here, which he caused to he served
on Brent, as representative of the
government, onthe day the request
to close was given the Bemidji sa-
looms. On this order twelve saloons
never closed their doors, although
the others did so. This condition
continued until January 8, 1911,
just one month later, when the in
junction of Judge Willard made the
order permanent. On the decision
of the federal Judge the other saloons
