RIPPLE WARNS AUT0IS1S
Police Chief Says That Drivers Must
Stop Careless Driving School Chill

MANY DOG LICENSES OBTAINED

DOG owners of the city at last
realize that we mean business" said
Frank Ripple, chief of police, this af-
ternoon. 'Ten dogs were taken by
the dog catcher this morning and as
a consequence large number of IL
censcs have been sold by City Clerk
Stein"
The dog catcher has been informed
to take every dog found without a tag
and to keep such CANNES for three
days. If, after that period, they are
not claimed by their owners, they
will be disposed of.
. Another matter which will be
given added attention in the future
will be that of reckless automobile
driving. During the past several
days several accidents to school chill
dren have been narrowly averted.
"For the benefit of public safety"
said the chief, II wish to inform auto
and motorcycle drivers that they will
be made to observe the law in the~fu-
ture. On Beltrami avenue there has
been much careless driving and un-
less the laws are respected we will be
forced to take action. We do not
desire to place a special patrolman
along this avenue, but will do so if
the fast driving is continued. Chill
dren going to and coming from school

N01ECALLSf0R CHANGE
IN GERMANY'S WARFARE:
CREISHASBEEN REACHED
Omitted Press)

Washington, May 13.-It is evil
dent from the attitude of high Off
Gals here that a crisis has been
reached in foreign American affairs
and that the die has been cast.
In language which is impossible
to misrepresent, the United States
calls the killing of one hundred
Americans on the Lusitania a mon
strous crime, and following as it does
the Gulflight and other incidents,
characterizes an open. face hostility
for which there is no excuse.
The note also calls for a definite
change in Germany's method of war
fare. s.>>- =,
Officials secuted the idea of an ex-
ira session of congress and the pres
ident says that the proposition has
been rejected, even if Germany re-
fuses to accede to the United States
note. He said that he could quickly
call congress for war loan of mil
lion dollars, as there is no limit to
credit 49,. .~.
The German ambassador believes
that Germany and the United States
can meet on terms of note, although
this is not official. Won Bernstorff re-.
fused to talk further than to deny
story that the embassy opposed tue

TO HAVE. SUMMER SCHOOL
A. P. White of Opinion That Way Will
Be Found to Make Money for Work
Available--Belie Preus Wrong
EDUCATORS OF STATE AGITATED

1t is the opinion of A. P. White,
president of. the Northern National
bank of this city and a member of
the State Normal School board, that
educational interests of Minnesota
need not worry over the problem of
financing summer school work this
year.
Mr.. White believes that the ruling
of J. A. o. Preus, state auditor, made
recently, will be modified and that
the money will be available.
Mr.. Preus held that his office
could not legally authorize the ex-
penditure of funds in anticipation of
their receipt. The last legislature
appropriated $4,000 for summer
schools, available for the year begin
ming August 1, and under the ruling
this money cannot be used prior to
that time.
AS most of the summer school
courses are completed by August 1
the situation was regarded as most
serious one. For a time it was be-
lieVed that the Bemidji summe:
school would not be held.
At the meeting of the normal
school board held in st. Paul Tues
day, at which Mr. White was in at
tendance, the matter was discussed,
it being decided to await the opinion
of Lyndon A. Smith, attorney gen.
eral, to whom the question has been
submitted by Charles G.. Schulz, state
superintendent Of education.
Mr.. Preus while in Bemidji
Wednesday was questioned concern
ing the matter and he said while he
believed the position he had taken
was correct, that he would be much
pleased if the attorney general, who
now has the question under advise
ment, is able to find a way to remedy
the situation.

FINDS CONFIDENCE IN
RANKS0F GERMAN ARMY
By CARL ACKERMAN.

With the German army at Brus-
sells, May 13.-After spending a week
with the German army l find abso-
lutte confidence in it's ranks and that
the allies are entirely unable to pene-
trate the lines of the Teutons. There
is equal confidence in the ultimate
success Of the German offensive in
the vicinity of Ypres.
Officials have growing good feel
ing toward America. I breakfastad
with three officers. While escorting
me along the lines they picked up a
shell marked made in U. S. A."
The German officers commented re-
gretfully of the loss of life on the
Lusitania but said. it was desirable
for Americans to avoid sailing on bel
ligerent ships.

THOUSANDS 0FW0UNDED
INVADE C0NSTANTINOpLE
BY HENRY WOOD.

Copyright, 1915, by United Press)
Constantinople, May 13.-The ar
rival of 1900 Turkish wounded this
converted Constantinople in
to a city of terror. Crowds, COM
posed mostly of women, this after
noon paraded the streets cursing the
war and those responsible for Tur-
keys participation into it.
Sultan Mohamed, according to a
report which reached American quar-
tiers, has threatened to abdicate. With
those brought in this morning the
total number of Turkish wounded is
now 10000, the number Of dead not
being known. On account of field
hospitals being crowded it was found
necessary to provide quarters in Con-
stantinople.

BRITISH PROGRESS SLOW
Dardanelles Attempts Prove That Al
lies Underestimated Strength of Op-
ponents-No News From Troops.
CONsTANTINOPLE APPEARS SAFE
BY J. w. r. MASON.

New York, May 13.-Abont three
weeks have passed since the British
army under General Hamilton landed
on the Gallipoli peninsula. During
the time little progress has been made
in the effort to capture the Darda-
nelles Notifications from the rear,
and England is being warned the
work will be long and tedious
1t is probable the Allies once
more have under-estimated the power
Of their opponents. The attempt to
force the Dardanelles showed the ad-
miralties at London and Paris had
not rightly judged the defensive pow
er of the Turkish forts; and now 1t
is beginning to appear as if the war
departments of France and England
have been similarly remiss.
Army Swallowed Up.
Coincidentally with the beginning
of the Gallipoli campaign large
British force, estimated at between
10000 and 10000 men was thrown
ashore at Enos, the nearest point to
Adrianople, on the gulf of Saros. This
army seems to have been swallowed
up. It's disappearance from the news
of the Levantine operations is COM
plete 1t cannot have met with any
success, or the British government,
DESTROYS of giving Englishmen all
possible encouragement, would not
have failed to announce the fact Nor
can the Turks have inflicted a crush
ing defeat on the invaders and be now
keeping the matter secret. It is
more probable that the force at Enos
is stuck in it's trenches and dead
lock has resulted which gives neither
belligerent an opportunity to make
official announcement.
The Enos expedition, is therefore,
in all probability too weak to exert
any influence on the campaign
against Constantinople.
It is known the French force sent
to dominate the Asiatic coast of the
Dardanelles was unable even to hold
it's landing point and was driven
back to anchored transports. Hence
the French must have been even
worse prepared for serious resistance
than the English, since the British
troops at least have held tenaciously
to their shore lines.
At the very beginning of the land
operations against Constantinople, it
was pointed out that the greatest
danger to the Allies was the posi-
bility that the Turks would be held in
contempt as fighting force This
blunder now seems to have been
committed.
After delaying the movement Of
troops to the Levant a sufficient time
to permit the Turks to prepare elab-
crate entertainments, the Allies now
seem reluctant to spare enough men
from the west to ensure Constanti-
nople's DOWNFALL Luck is being
trusted to do work Of efficiency.

ANOTHER BRITISH SHIP
LOST AT DARDANELLES
(United PreSS)

London, May 13.-An official dis
patch given out by the British war
department says that one of it's war
ships, the Goliath, had been torpedoed
and sunk in the Dardanelles straits.
The admiralty places the loss of life
at 500. The Goliath was a 12,000-ton
battleship and was in the same class
as the Ocean, which was sunk in the
Dardanelles with the Irresistible and
Bouvet. It was built in 1898 and
carried a crew of $50 men.

PARK DIST Riot
PLANFAY0REDBY
BEM III J, CITIZENS 1T IN
Purchase of Ruggles Timber Land Ap-
pears Probable lection. w uld Be
Necessary to Adopt Proposition.
OWNER THOUGHT TO FAVOR IDEA
Opinion General That Buying Of Prop
erty Would Be Good Investment
Business Men Interested. =

AS years pass into history Be-
midi residents realize more and more
the many benefits the city would re-
ceive if the tract Of virgin pine on
the east side of Lake Bemtdji, the
property of Charles F.. Ruggles of
Manistee, Michigan, was secured for
park purposes. "a.
For this reason it is easily under
stood why so much interest is taken
in the suggestion made by F.. s.
Lycan, president of the common coun-
Gil, at the last meeting of that body,
in which he proposed that COM
mittee be appointed to act with a
committee of the Commercial club and
Merchants association, to complete
plans whereby a park district would
be contaminated and to form arrange
ments whereby the property, about
400 acres, could be purchased.
Would Need No Aid.
According to present plans the
condemnation proceedings which
were instituted several years ago will
be dropped. BY tWo-thirds vote of
the council it could make a Park Dis
trict out of the entire city of Bemidji.
This action would be followed by a
regular or special election at which
the voters would sanction the plan.
This would be followed blythe ap-
pointment of five park commissioners,
and they would later be elected. The
terms would be for five years, except
during the first period of that length
when the members would be elected
for one, two, three, four and five
years. This commission could buy or
accept by gift any land within two
miles from the city limits. H.
Purchase by Bonds.
It is believed that MI. Ruggles
would be willing to sell the land, with
it's timber, at reasonable price to
the city and that bonds could be sold
at low interest for the purchase of the
land, which in itself would be splen-
did security. In addition the city
would stand behind the bonds, making
them iron clad. A sinking fund
would be provided for the park and
from this bonds would be paid when
due The interest, according to one
plan, could be paid by the renting OF
cottage plots on the park site, this
in no manner cancelling any Of the
attractiveness of the institution.
Many Favor Plan.
While a great number of Bemidji's
residents favor the securing of the
land for the park, much depends upon
Mr.. Ruggles' desire and attitude in
the matter. This gentleman, while
nonresident of the county, is it's
second largest tax payer; one who
has never endeavored to escape taxes
on his property; one who has always,
so far as the Pioneer is informed,
paid his taxes cheerfully and with
out taking advantage of the law
which would permit him to make
one-half payment in May and the
balance in June. This has been
matter of much benefit to Beltrami
