DESERVE BETTER SUPPORT
Members of Bemidji Band Not Given
Sufficient Encouragement-Is Be-
coming Splendid Organization.
CONCERT WEDNESDAY NIGHT

1t can be truthfully said that no
organization in Bemidji is of more
real benefit to the city than the band
1t can also be truthfully said that no
organization in the city is more poor
ly supported, or considered with more
lack Of interest
In most places band operated un-
Their the conditions, which have con-
fronted the members of the Bemidji
organization, would have given up
the ghost and quite long time ago.
But the local boys are not that kind.
Poor attendances at their concerts
and lack of support have only caused
them to work the harder, thereby per-
fecting their playing and compelling
attention from the city's residents.
|. Today the band is credit to the
city. It's members are all musicians,
and some of them mighty good ones.
It's leader is man who understands
music from a to and who enjoys his
work. 1t is steadily growing in men,
bership and improvements are notic-
ed at every rehearsal and at every
concert. In addition special numbers
are arranged for the monthly enter
tainments and they are equally as en-
joyable as manly of the highly rated
attractions which are brought here
from the outside.
Nett Wednesday evening the band
will give another concert in the City
hall, and every seat should be taken.
Admission is free and all are cordially
invited. Following the concert there
will be dance, to which a small
charge of fifty cents will be made.
The boys receive only appreciation
for their work and they deserve and
are entitled to it.

SENT GREETINGS TO PUPILS
Governor Eberhart Calls Children's
Attention to Health Week, Which
Comes Nov. 20 to Dec. 6.
TIME TO PREPARE FOR FUTURE

Governor A. O. Eberhart extended a
greeting to every pupil in the Bemidji
schools, as we'll as those in other
cities, for Health week, November 20
to December 6, yesterday. The
governor wrote letter to be read in
all the schools. The letter said:
Dear Pupils: The Health week
which the great state of Minnesota,
through me as it's governor, has set
aside for special celebration, begins
with tuberculosis Sunday and goes
on with Measles Monday, Typhoid
Tuesday, Whooping Cough Wednes-
day, and so to the end.
But I want you all to understand
very clearly that health does not con-
sist merely in escaping disease, al
though that is one of the first and
most Immediately important things
for all of us to do. The second and
equally important thing is to cult
vate our bodies. Every Minnesotan
should be strong in mind and limb,
clear-eyed, clear-brained, ready in
every part of his or her physical
makeup to take hold of and carry
out great work in this great world
which we inhabit. x
1T will not be many years before
you will be grown-ups, until you are
yourselves conducting the affairs OF
our dear state of Minnesota, it's gov
eminent, it's business. it's education
it's science, it's art. Prepare now a
splendid future for Minnesota and
for yourselves by avoiding the dis.
eases that cripple effort and restrict
success, and by cultivating that
greatest asset of every great people
robust and vigorous development Of
body and mind"

MINNESOTA l}..CHICAGO /

In the most sensational football
game played in the west in many
years, the Minnesota machine this af-
ternoon defeated Chicago by a score
Of 13 to 7. The attack of the Co
piers was wonderful and the Chicago
warriors were powerless to stop their
steady onrush.
Twice during the first quarter was
Minnesota able to take the ball to
Chicago's one yard-line, being held
for downs the first time. Des Jar
diem punted to center of the field
and the Gophers by bewildering at
tack again carried the ball to the
Chicago two-foot line, where Scion,
the star Minnesota fullback, went
over for the first count Of the game.
Minnesota missed goal.
Chicago came back in the second
quarter with touchdown, made pos
sible by blocked punt on Mime
sofas 30-yard line. Several beauti-
full forward passes took the ball to
the Gopher vineyard line where Rus
sell scored a touchdown. Goal was
kicked During the remainder of the
quarter Minnesota played Chicago
completely off it's feet, taking the
ball to the vineyard line where time
for the first half was called.
Chicago played a much stronger
game during the first part of the
third quarter, but the steady and
forceful onrushes of Minnesota were
too much for their forwards and the
Gophers began to rip through the
line for gains almost at will. Scion
took prominent part in nearly every
play and his punting was equal to
that of Des Jardien.
In the fourth quarter Minnesota
took the ball from the fifty-yard line
and went for a toucfdown; kicking
goal. Des Jardien was injured and
left the game. Score, Minnesota 13,
Chicago Z, middle of last quarter.
There was no more scoring and
Minnesota was the winner in a con-
test which will go down as one of
the most spectacular ever played.

THINK STR|CkER
AND SHEEHY ARE
ON ROCHAMBEAU.

President John X. Sheehy of the
Board of Education, and Joseph E..
Stricken are believed to be on the
Rochambeau, due in New York Mon
day from Havre, France, which port
the liner left August 80. A cable
gram from Mr.. Sheehy few days
previous to the sailing of the boat
stated he would take passage on the
liner.
DR.. Frank C. Henry and others re-
ceived letters from Mr.. Stricken yes
terday. The letter to the physician
was postmarked Paris, August 25,
and written at the King Edward VII
hotel, one of the hostelries DR.. Henry
and Mr. Stricken stopped at last year
when touring Europe.
Mr.. Stricken said everything was
all right, except that there was a
shortage of boats, but declared in
the letter that he thought he could
book passage the next week. From
this Dr.. Henry thinks he will proba-
bly, be on the Rochambeau Monday.
Mr.. Stricken said in the communi-
cation he had a narrow escape in
getting out of Germany, but did not
state details. Chief Burke received
a postal from the former assistant
prosecutor this morning dated Ber-
lin, July 80.

AOSTRIANS ARE
DRIVEN OUT Of
RUSSIA POLAND
Germans Move Fresh Troops for
Attack That is to Start Soon
The Skilled Retreat Of the
Allies Troubles kaiSeT'S Men.
ALLIES STRENGTHEN LINES

Special BU United Press Wire.
PARIS, Sept. 5:--That the Ger@
mans are concentrating for @
supreme effort to crush the allied
army is admitted at military head-
quarters today. Wireless reports
from bordeaux say that the war
Office there considers the situation
satisfactory. The enemy has moved
to the southwest of Paris, forces be.
ing reported in Strength at La Fere,
eleven miles east of NIeaS@ - q are
apparently strengthening their posi-
tion at all points.
1t is believed certain that the
German plan of offense contemplateS
forcing a general engagement with
the entire allied army before any
serious offensive movement is direct
Ell against Paris. The official report
Mt General Gallini's headquarters
says that at no point has the third
army of defense been in contact with
the enemy. This means there has
been no action as yet directed
against the city itself, but it is be-
Iieved the German lines fronting the
city of Paris extend in heavy force
today through Beauvarix TO Senlis
hemmed in concave lined through
LaFere TO Thairay on the Sarne
river.
There has been no serious fighting
at any portion of the lines where
allies and Germans are in contact
for the last twenty-four hours. The
Germans are maintaining their post
tion and are moving fresh troops %
positions and there are abundant in-
dications that the general attack is
TO begin very soon in overwhelming
force. Because of the speedy retreat
of the allied army the German plan
TO pen them in trap has failed and
the German general staff is believed
to be making new plans. There is
constant skirmishing along the bat
tlefrout, some of it of the most
desperate character, but it is cOnl-
bined TO cavalry and accommodating
parties in force.

OPPOSITION To
WAR TAXAPPEAL-
SHOWN IN HOUSE

Special by United Press Wire.
Washington, Sept. 5:-President
Wilson's request for a war tax spells
trouble today in congress even on
the Democratic side. Murmurin6s
of difficulty voiced in the ways and
means committee made yesterday
grew lighter today when that body
convened.
The proposal to pay five per
cent. on transport agent tickets was
one of the chief points of attack.
Then. too, the proposal to tax gaso-
line stirred up some enmity from the
rural delegation, inasmuch as it
would place a burden on the farmer
who uses this for farm power. Seri-
GUS opposition on this point, how
ever, was not expected as the real
cause would come from those best
able to pay. In some quarters there
was a suggestion to increase the in
come tax, that the war tax bill would
not be reported out until the end Of
next week appeared certain and Il
Democratic caucus may be necessary.
Many Republicans were preparing to-
day to make campaign material out
of the tax

BARNEY STRE|FF
TELLS VIVID TALE
Of EUROPE WAR

American refugees are welcomed
everywhere in Europe except in Eng
land, according to Barney Streiff, Of
148 Brighton avenue, who returned
with Herman Ellis, who as stated
in yesterdays s NEWS was confined at
a sanitorium for about five weeks be-
cause of a nervous breakdown. While
Mr.. Ellis was in the sanitorium, Mr.,
Streiff was visiting Turkey, Egypt,
Roumania, his native home, Jerusa-
lem and the Holy Land. He says
that everywhere he went he was re-
ceived most graciously as were the
other tourists, except in England.
On leaving the warning countries on
special train provided by the U. S.
consul at Carlsbad, between Marian
bad and The Hague Mr.. Streiff says
at each station, flowers and light re-
freshments were brought out to the
refugees.
Mr.. Streiff received no less a
greeting from his employees than did
Herman Ellis His store in Smith
street was decorated for his coming
and bunting hung from the cornices
all day yesterday. A huge cake was
presented him by the clerks in his
State street variety store, an0Smany
Of them sat up at his home in brigh-
ton avenue until 1880 O'Clock
Thursday night and waited in vain to
give him q welcome ovation.
After seeing Mr.. Ellis safe in the
sanitorium near Vienna, Mr.. Streiff
went by train to Roumania, and after
visiting his native town Yassy, and
erecting new and larger tombstones
Constantinople, Greece, alexandria,
Jaffa, Caiffa and other places in
Egypt. He visited the Holy Land,
and saw the ancient sepulchres of
the Hebrew biblical patriarchs, which
are sacredly guarded night and day
by soldiers.
He left Caiffa July % and arrived
in Constantinople August 6 on a
boat from Alexandria,
which runs from the latter place to
through the Mediter-
ranean, Dardanelles and the Black
Sea. The Dardanelles are guarded
by the Turkish fleet to prevent the
passage of warships or any other
boats that would embarrass her po-
sition of neutrality, which she has
assumed. The boat was held up in
until its cargo and
could be inspected and
left port in company of two men O
war, three days later which escort
ed the craft into the Black Sea on It's
way to Roumania. Mr.. Streiff says
that excitement ran high when the
boat was held up, as the passengers
did not know whether it had been
taken as a prize by Turkey or not.
Just before the boat docked at Con-
stantinople those aboard learned OF
the breaking out of the war. On
hearing this Mr. Streiff's first move
en- landing was to get passport
from the American consul at the
capital. On securing this
Mr.. Streiff was passed everywhere.
On his return to Vienna he revisited
his native home in Roumania. Mr..
Streiff found the streets flooded with
reservists on their way to mobiliza-
