LOu-N-.. .OV. 1i.-r dSJ all furious
fighting both in the eastern and west,
ern arenas of the war is expected by
English military observers to make
the present week memorable. Hints
from the front encourage them to ex-.
pect that the week will see the Ger.
man tide through Flanders begin to-
ebb. The cheerful note sounded by
the French official communication in.
dicating that Ypres, Armentieres, Be-
thune, Arras and other inland gates
to the French seacoast remain so far
impregnable is doubtless responsible
for the English optimism.
OF equal interest with news from
the active war theaters is the indica-
ton from Athens that Greece is to
cast its lot with the allies.
The correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph company says it was an
nounced in the Grecian chamber of
deputies that Great Britain had ad-
vanced the Greek government 100000
900 drachmas ($8,000,G00) to pay for
warships for Greece to be construct

What Will MosIems. Do7
OF greater Importance to Great
Britain than any of the days passing

tude in the world war to be taken by

from Germany are that the Moslems
In some instances at least are siding
with the sultan of Turkey, to whom
they owe spiritual allegiance, as
against Great Britain.

in the west may have slackened, but

The latest reports indicate the fight

Newport and Dixmude was limited to
artillery exchanges. The French de-

in this region and around Ypres and

Germans Massing in East.

slams out of the important districts
of the provinces Of Posen and Silesia.
A word of caution comes to the al.
lies from Petrograd and it is signifi-
cant in the light of recent reports
from that point predicting a prompt
invasion of Germany following the
German-Austrian retirement before
Warsaw. The allies are told they
must not expect the Russians to
sweep on to Berlin over night, as this
advance may take months and even
longer.
Russian arms seem gradually to be
moving toward Cracow and a siege or
investment of this Austrian fortress
seems to be not far off. A Copenha-
gen dispatch says it is rumored there
that Cracow will not be defended, as
the Austrians fail to see why that city
should be bombarded and laid in ruins
for no reason. The dispatch states
the Russians would not be unwilling
to give good terms for the capitula-

last day of this month in accordance
with an order which was issued last

Raise Boundary Question.
While Bemidji saloon owners are
preparing to close their places of
business on the day named in the or
der, such is not to be the case in sew
eral other cities of the treaty dis
trict. It is generally understood that.
the entire dry belt is to be COW
cred by the enforcement plan of the
interior department., and if this is
to be the case such towns as Hibbing
and Chisholm, two of the largest on
the Iron Range, will be closed To
this these towns object, claiming that
they are not within the limits of the
treaty zone and that no lines have
ever been run making the exact boun-
daries known. At Cass Lake and
Bena the claim is made that they
never were included in the treaty of
1855 and rumor has reached Be-
midi that the saloon men of those
places are to fight the enforcement.
General Acquiescence.
In a Washington dispatch the fol-
lowing is contained: 1t is said at
the interior department and Indian
Office that, according to advices from
northern Minnesota regarding the or
ders for the closing Of saloons with
in the inhabited territory under the
Indian treaties, there was general az
quiescence in the orders for closing
by the end of the month. a.
Secretary Lane is absent from the
city,. but it is said that no specific re-.
quests have been received, from the
Indian country asking that changes
be made in the closing orders nor had
requests been made that President
Wilson intervene, pending any action
that congress might determine . to
take with reference to the cancella-
ton of the old treaties with the In
dams. - -. -.-.,'r -.
Failed to Act. ee~
Such action was taken by residents
of the Indian country during the Taft
administration and President Taft
sent message to congress, calling at
tention to the situation, thereby CIV
ing congress an opportunity to cancel
the old treaties by legislative enact
ment if it was so desired. Nothing
was done on the subject at that time.
Commissioner Sells of the Indian
office confirmed the statements made
in the Office of Secretary Lane, the
commissioner adding that the reports
received from his special agents in
the field in northern Minnesota indi-
Gated general acquiescence, although
there were many objections to the
policy now being enforced by the In
dian officials.

R.A.KEARNS Will
MAKE INSPECTION
ON PLANTATIONS
Plans to Spend Two Months in
Visiting Camps and lnvesti-
eating Conditions

Ralph A. Kearns, territorial immi-
grafton commissioner, will leave for
Hawaii during the early part of next
month on the first leg of an exhaus-
tive inspection of the various plan
tation camps in the territory which
are inhabited by Spaniards, Portu-
guese and Russians Mr.. Kearns made
similar inspection a year ago and,
following the completion of the work
on the Big Island, he will visit Maui
and Kauai and then return to inspect
the camps on Oahu.
As pointed ont by Mr.. Kearns this
morning, this tour of inspection is a
matter of routine business which COM
plies with the act of the legislature
which created the territorial immigra-
tion office. The complete inspection,
he said, will cover period of about
two months. Every Spanish, Russian
or Portuguese immigrant who has
come into the territory through the To-
cal territorial office will be interview
ed personally; living and other condi-
tions will be thoroughly investigated
and the laborers will have chance
to make any complaints in person,
should such condition arise.
AS far as complaints are concern
ed, / do not believe there are any"
said Mr.. Kearns this morning. "At
least, none have been entered at this
office. Conditions among Spaniards,
Russians and Portuguese on the plan
tations are good and have been for
some months The last complaint to
come to this office was made year
ago, but was a trivial affair and was
soon settled. When immigrants first
come into the territory through this
office, they are fully informed as to
their rights, and ! am sure that if
there were any complaints, they would
quickly be made to me-"
