State Agricultural Department Offers
Summer Session Which Should Pre-
pare Many for Teaching.

similarly equipped, who have had
teaching experience, can secure
places at salaries of from $1,000 to
$4,000.
It is in part to meet the demand
for such men, to keep open the doors
of opportunity, that the Department
of Agriculture of the University of
Minnesota holds summer session.

Vessel Still Ahoat.

Washington, May 3, 1880 p. NJ
The state department this afternoon
received the first official Informal
ton of the torpedoing of the United
States steamer Gulflight, when Con-
sui Stephens at Plymouth, England,
wired that the vessel had been tor
pedoed off Scilly May 1. The cap
tain died of heart failure and the
body was landed. Two the crew
were drowned and thirty-four saved.
The vessel was still afloat at the time
the message was sent and patrol
boats were attempting to tow her in
to Scilly.
The German embassy, usually
prompt in coming to the defense of
the Kaiser's acts, this afternoon re-
fused to make any comment upon
the sinking of the Gulfight or of
German aerial attacks upon the Unit
ed States steamer Cushing.

One of the features of the big pic
mic which is to be given on Wednes-

ton will be honor guests, is to be a

WAR HAS JUST STARTED
Will Not End Soon Unless Something
Unexpected Happens, Says Officer
soldiers Not Disheartened.
FRENCH MAKE GOOD IN BATTLE
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
UNITED Press)

With the French army at the front,
April 16, by mail to New York.
After passing along the front from
Belgium to Alsace and talking with
officers, high and low, one is i'm
pressed with the prevailing idea that
the war has only begun.
"How long will the war last?"
I asked the officer of very high rank.
"A long time" he answered in a
way, showing that he had studied
the question and the reply. "a long
time unless some unexpected event
brings it to an end"
What sort of an event?"
II said, unexpected. If one knew
what sort of an event to expect it
would not be unexpected. The idea
is the war came on us overnight, so
to speak. It was unexpected so far
as the allies were concerned. Well,
the war might end over night, just
as it began"
That is the state Of mind of the
French army. The officers expect a
long war and the men see no hope
of early peace. And both officers and
men appear not in the least down.
cast over it,,
A great change has come over the
French army. When the war began
many doubts were expressed over
Frances ability to cope with Ger
many. It was pointed out that Ger
many was ready, while France had
been following the pursuits of peace,
"Good bye, good luck and early
victory" their friends called to the
soldiers as they marched away. Some
of them replied with "a an implied
doubt, "We'll do our best"
Then, too, the shadow of 1870
hung heavily. Being extraordinarily
intelligent, the French soldier re.
membered that in 10 they were bad
sly led and quickly beaten. They
felt that man for man they could
beat the Germans, but there was the
wonderful German lighting machine
and doubt as to French leaders. But
this spirit of doubt long since has
disappeared. One finds it now impos.
sible to find doubling Thomas
The men have every confidence il
the ability of their officers to lea6
them. General Joffre is sort q

Petrograd, May 3.-For the first
time since hostilities began in the
far East, the Russian war depart
ment admits that the German expi-
dition toward the Baltic provinces is
beginning to take on serious as
pect. The Germans are cooperating
by land and sea, and regiments of
German cavalry with an automobile
detachment supporting them, are
overrunning the Shawl region. The
Kaiser's soldiers are now reported to
be near Libau. A squadron of Ger
man torpedo crafts, which have been
operating along the Russian Baltic
coast, have penetrated the Gulf of

Charles Warfield is a member of

tanning an interest, as does Andrew
Warfield, although he will not be an
active member of the corporation.
Both Plants Purchased.
Both the Warfield Electric COM
pany and the Beltrami Electric Light
& Power company are involved in the
change of ownership. The latter COM
pany built the Mississippi river dam
power plant in 1907. The Bemidji
power house is the same one which
first provided Bemidji with electric
lights, many improvements and addi-
lions having been provided since the
plant was first established.
No Room to Improve.
Asked whether any changes or i'm
provements will be made in the SER
vice, Mr.. Rogers said this afternoon:
"The service will be conducted with
out any changes for the present and
am of the opinion that it cannot be
improved. 1t is my. impression that
Bemidji has been given excellent SER
vice and cannot see where any i'm
mediate improvements can be made"

present and the dntire force now en-
ployed will be retained. ~.
The first franchise granted the
Warfield company, in 1899, was in

renewed for fifteen years.

Refuse to Comment.

0CAuSC " NOuuCAts
Washington, May 3.-President
Wilson arrived here this morning
from a weekend visit and when told
of the torpedoing of the American
vessel, Gulfiight, Off Scilly Island
supposedly by a German submarine,
refused to make any comment con-
corning the affair.
Government officials are generally
silent and refuse to make any COM
ment, but it is admitted most serious
from an American standpoint. 1t is
looked upon as being much more Sc
rious that when the William Frye
was sunk by the Prince Ethel Fred
erich. The Ethel saved the lives OF
the Frye's crew but three were lost
aboard the Gulfiight.
To Start Something.
The commander of the Eitel erred
and admits it but the submarine crew
which torpedoed the Gulfight arc
unable. to plead anything but an er-
ror due to gross carelessness. Thrash
er, an American, was killed aboard
the British ship Falalaba, when she
was torpedoed sailing under an Eng
lish flag.
The warning sounded by the Ger
man embassy Saturday by advertise
ing in United States newspapers, is
regarded as an indication that it is
the Kaiser's intention to start some
thing.
