Note Germany
. Regards Escape
Of Ships Officers

Washington, Oct. 21.-State de-
.partment officials are considering the
form of communication which may
go to the German government in re-
gard to the escape of two commission
ed officers and six warrant officers
from the interned commerce railer at
the Norfolk navy yard.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt of the
navy department., sent to Secretary
Lansing a formal report on the es-
cape of the men, his letter following,
a conference with the secretary of
state.
If it is determined from the report
that the general parole covering all
officers and men of their crews given
by the commanders of Kron Prinz
Wilhelm and the Prince Eitel Freider-
ich when the ships were interned, can
be construed as personal obligation
upon the two commissioned officers
missing from the Eitel, the German
government probably will be asked 20
return Lieutenant Koch and DR.. Kro-
neck to the custody of the United
States in the event they reach Ger
man soil.
{ No trace of the missing Germans
has been reported.

INDIAN LID MAY APPLY
TO PELICAN RAPIDS

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Oct. 21.-lt
is believed that government officials
are about to apply the Indian lid to
the Pelican country. Pelican Rapids
is dry by local option, but this does
not prevent liquor being brought IN
or shipped in by private parties. The
Indian treaty, however, absolutely
forbids the importation of liquor in
to the territory affected.
Pelican Rapids is just about on the
line of the treaty territory. The
treaty was made before the county
was surveyed, and the boundaries Of
the so-called Indian country" had
to be defined by natural objects. The
treaty provided that the boundary of
the territory should be direct line
from the mouth of the Buffalo river
to the outlet of Otter Tail lake. This
line, according to some maps, passes
Just outside Pelican Rapids, but other
maps would include the village in the
dry zone ~

Hibbing, Mimi. Oct. 21.-Saloons
in Hibbing and Chisholm must close
by Nov. I, according to an order is
sued yesterday by the Indian bureau
The order, which has been long ex
pected, was delivered by Chief Spe
cial Officer Henry A. Larson of the
Washington bureau of Indian affairs
He notified the Al saloonkeepers
Brandt at Chisholm.
The text of the order is as follows
department of the Interior, Office OF
Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C.
"Sir-You are hereby notified to
discontinue your business in viola
ton Of article of the treaty be-
tween the United States and the
Chippewa Indians, concluded on Feb
%, 1855, and your attention is called
to sections 2139 and 214O of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States
and Amendments thereto.
And this you will in no wise fail
to do on or before the first day of
November, 1915, under the pains and
penalties of the law.
HENRY A. LARSON,
"Chief Special Officer"
Special Officer J. P. Brandt notified
the saloons at Chisholm Whether
the saloons at Floodwood and Kee-
watin will be closed also is not
known.
No definite information can be Sc
cured in Hibbing today as to what
action, if any, will be taken to COM
bat the Federal closing order. Mayor
Victor L. Power, generally credited
with being the attorney of the saloon
men in this matter, declared briefly
and positively this morning, II have
nothing whatever to say at this
time"
Order May Be Resisted.
It is. generally rumored that the
closing order will be fought on the
ground that Hibbing and Chisholm
are not within the territory covered
by the Chippewa treaty of 1855. An
attempt, it is said, will be made to
show that the Little Swan river, men,
toned in the treaty, runs to the west
Of Hibbing, and that the stream just
east of Buhl, heretofore accepted as
the boundary, is only a branch of the
main Little Swan. 1t is considered
certain here that legal action will be
taken which may result in postponing
the closing beyond the date of Nov.
l, set in yesterdays notices.
Supply Ten-day Limit.
Liquor dealers in Hibbing have felt
certain that the blow was soon to
fall and have been reducing their
stocks for some months, and all of
them are prepared to dispose Of their
present supply within the :tenday
limit,

UNHEALTHY LIFE IN CITIES
Statistics Show That Dwellers In "Hu.
man Bee Hives" Have Shortened
Days Of Existence.

Forty years will soon be the old age
mark for business men If there does
not come a change in the manner of
living in cities, according to deduc-
tions of DR.. Louis y Welsmiller, physi-
cal director of the New York West
Side Y. M. c. A. These deductions are
based on the examination of more
than 1000 men during the last year.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said about the advantage of a sound
mind in sound body, the tendency
in large cities, Doctor Welsmiller says,
is to go on demonstrating excessive &C
tivity of mind. The condition is said
to be peculiar to hustling business
men. Result-tubercu!osi because of
the campaign against it, has been on
the decrease, while diseases of the
heart, arteries and kidneys which be-
long normally only to old age, have
been on the increase, until there are
more deaths from the latter than from
tuberculosis.
We are told that life is too tense
and this tense condition is allowed to
hold on too long. A more general re-
gard for the advantage of play that
will cause complete forgetfulness of
business is suggested as the only So
luton of the problem of assuring ra-
tional health conditions.
