American bread alone restraints the
Belgians from hurting themselves on
German bayonets, according to Fred
erick Palmer, American war CORE
spondent, who has just returned to
London after a trip through Belgium.
In speaking of the aid which Amer
leans are giving through the Com
mission for Relief in Belgium, Mr.
Palmer says:
1.-The one thing you want after you
have been in Belgium few days is
to get out of Belgium for the sake
of your nerves. Belgium is a house
with sealed doors where a family of
100000 sits in silence around a
cherries hearth thinking of nothing
but the war and feeling nothing but
the war. America opened the win
dow with her neutral hand and slip
ped a loaf into the larder. War in
the trenches is cheerful beside Bel
GUM. In Belgium bread line with
a background of the ruins of Lou
vain is only one of hundreds of
haunting pictures.
"There is something in the very
atmosphere of Belgium which is
ghostly and which speaks of the re-
preston of a civilized world under
military restraint and unable to give
voice to their thought, unable tc
move from one town to another. The
people are praying for day of de-
liverance.

rendered in Hope That Dual Forces
Would Be Solidifed.
(By J. w. T. MasOn)

New York, Jan. 15.-Count Berch-
told's retirement as president of the
Hungarian council of minis
ters and minister of foreign affairs,
is significant of the dual monarchy 5
dissatisfaction with the progress of
the war The appointment of Baron
Won Rajee, Hungarian, to succeed
Count Berchtold, emphasized further
the serious internal disturbances,
caused by the Russian invasion of
Hungary.
Count Berchtold was more respon-
sible for the present war than any
other individual. He formulated the
military proposal against Servia and
after the delivery of Austrias ulti-
matum at Belgrade, he practically
went into hiding so that outside d.
plomatic pressure could not be
brought into play. At Vienna, until
too late, Count Berchtold tried to de-
fend Austria's Bismarck and his re-
tirement in the midst of the war
which he started can indicate that
Austria-Hungary no longer hopes
that Bismarckism methods will bring
the conflict to successful conclu-
sion.
The appointment of Hungarian
to succeed Count Berchtold is the re-
ply of the emperor to the seperatist
movement, which has made much
Roadway among the Maygars, since
the defense of Hungary was shown
to be insecure against the Slav inva-
sion. The Hungarians have CON-
planned not only at Vienna, but also
to the German emperor, direct
Complained to Emperor.
They forced abandonment of the
Servian campaign in order to insure
better protection for their northern
frontier and now that a second in
vasion Of Hungary is under way they
have compelled the appointment of
a Hungarian as the foreign minister
and virtual premier-Austria-H Hun
gary has no actual premier or prime
minister-Of the two mOnarchies
Has Snapped Horses.
German influence at Berlin has
surrendered to Hungarians in the
hopes that this movement will solid
ify the dual forces for a renewed
struggle against the Slavs. This is
the reason why Emperor Franz Jo-
seph has snapped horses while cross
ing a stream New efforts will now
be made to check the Russian inva-
sion Of Hungary and hereafter Ger
man assistance will be at the COM
mand Of the Hungarians. If the
Russians succeed in overrunning
Hungary nothing more remains to be
done and a separate peace, negoti-
ated by the Hungarian foreign min
ister may be effected at Vienna.

FRENCH FEAR PARIS
DASH IS PLANNED

Paris, Jan. 15.-Despite the Off

here that the Germans are preparing
for dash upon Paris. Reports still

who have pushed near, placing their
heavy artillery in trenches formerly
held by the French.

of the American food the relief work
will cease instantly and the whole
world will be told the reason.
IF the relief should cease there

Belgium whose horrors would make
the other horrors of this war insig-
nificant.''

IN RACE FOR STATE TITLE
High School Basketball Five by Bril-.
liant Team Play Swamps Park
Rapids by Score of 70 to 3.
JOHNSON AND TANNER STARS

In one of the most brilliant and
clever exhibitions of basketball ever
played in this city, the Bemidji high
school quint last evening stepped an
other notch nearer the state cham
pionship, completely smothering the
Park Rapids team by the one-sided
score of 70 to 3.
Seldom has one the privilege to
witness a game played as was that
OF last night. The Bemidji boys dis
played speed, cleverness, accuracy,
splendid teamwork and the conse
quence of excellent coaching, and
Park Rapids appeared helpless before
their attack.
The work of Tanner and Captain
Johnson, Bemidji forwards, was the
chief feature of the game, although
Cameron at center, and Bailey, Fred
Graham and George Graham at
guards, played splendidly. Every
one OF the boys showed the effect of
careful coaching and their work il
Illustrated the fact that they are to be
considered a state championship DOS
sibility
Tanners playing was no less than
marvellous. His floor work, as did
that of Johnson, time after time
brought the audience to it's feet. Tan
ner connected for fourteen field bas
kets while Johnson counted thirteen
times.
The team could hardly be better
balanced, each position being we'll
taken care of. Park Rapids did not
secure single field basket.
Coach Bestul was pleased with the
games outcome and predicts that the
Ada game which is to be played Sat-
urday night will be one of the best
exhibitions of basketball ever played
here. Ada aspires for the state cham
pionship and is fighting hard for a
place at Carleton, as is Bemidji.
