ARE NOT OF UNUSUAL TYPE
Mason Advises That Reserve Must Be
Exercised in Accepting Reports
- Concerning German Submarines
POSSESSED PRESENT FL0T1LLA
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, Feb. 2O.-Reserve must
be exercised in accepting reports con-
corning unprecedented abilities of the
new German submarines. Such de-
scriptions are bound to be circulated
at this time, but there is nothing to
warrant a belief that unknown and
terrifying exploits, Beyond the ca
pacity of all other submarines, can
be expected of the new German types.
Germany did not suddenly inherit
yesterday t1otilla of undersea boats,
constructed according to the ideas of
a Jules Verne. 1t requires more than
a Verne imagination to make ideas
work and more than a magic wish to
create new fleet of even the small
est warships: While the Germans
now possess in an undersea flOtilla,
they have had, with possibly a very
few exceptions, for long time. Dur
ing that period, Great Britain has
been transporting many thousands of
troops across the channel into France
Yet not a single catastrophe due to
German initiative has occurred. This
fact, in itself, is conclusive proof of
the strictly limited offensive capacity
of the German submarines.
Similar awe-inspiring tales to those
now being told of Germany's subma-
rines were circulated last summer
about Zeppelins. Exactly how Yep
pelins were to set fire to London and
bring England to terms from the
skies, is not understood
To combat the German submarines
and properly guard home waters,
Great Britain possesses more than
200 torpedo boats and destroyers, IS
light cruisers and so submarines built
since 1907. These are the known
minimum British strength. A part
of this fleet, of course, must continue
to keep watch over the German naval
bases, so that warning may be given
if a German squadron comes forth,
while the transport of troops to the
continent, which is now probably ap-
preaching it's maximum, must be
properly protected.
Heavier ships are available for
some work, and it is probable the
British navy can assign three or pos
sibly four of it's lighter vessels to
hunt down each submarine that Ger
many is capable of using in the new
war zone. Under these circumstan-
ces, the action of Lloyd's in declining
to issue insurance rates on British
merchantmen is applicable. AS air.
ships have failed to exert serious in
fluence on the conclusion of the war,
so everything points to failure of the
submarines. The earth's surface con-
tinues paramount in war.

TSCHOEPE FACES
SERIOUS CHARGE
May Serve Term in Federal Peniten.
tiary for Embezzelement -Nebish
Postofice Has Shortage.
BOND IS PLACED AT $4,000
Preliminary Hearing to Be Held Mon
day-Pleads Not Guilty When Ar
raigned Before Judge simons.

Accused of crime for which, IL
found guilty, he will serve a term m
the federal penitentiary, Erwin n.
Tschoepe, Nebish merchant, is now
held in the Beltrami county jail. The
charge against Tschoepe is embez-
element from the Nebish postoflce,
of which his wife is the postmistress.
Investigation Held.
That conditions in the Nebish Office
were not in proper shape has been
the belief of postoffice department Of
ficials for some time, but it was not
until February that thorough in
vestigation was begun, it being at
that time that Carl Egge, postoffice
inspector, started a search to ascer-
tain the amount of the shortage.
His Arrest Followed.
Inspector Egge found a shortage of
approximately $1,000 and the in
vestigation was the cause of the
charge which has now been placed
against Tschoepe. The warrant on
which Tschoepe was arrested charged
that he had embezzled $SS8.94. The
accused man was brought to Bemidji
from Nebish last night by Frank
Tufts, deputy United States marshal.
Demanded Hearing.
He was Immediately arraigned be-
fore Judge Hiram A. Simons, United
States commissioner, and pleaded not
guilty, demanding that he be given
hearing. Judge Simons today placed
bond at $4,000 and Tschoepe has been
given until Monday to secure bonds
men. The preliminary hearing will
be held Monday.
In his cell at the county Jail,
Tschoepe, who is well known in Be-
midi and throughout Beltrami couq-
ty, insists that mistake has been
made and that he will be cleared of
the charge which has been
placed against him. .r.}}e

San FRANCISCO, FeD. 2O.-Ihe great
est of world fairs, the Panama Pacific
exposition opened today, without
formal ceremonies other than a vast
pageant of San Franciscans to the
grounds this morning. Thousands of
visitors saw the pageant
The Panama-Pacific International
Exposition represents an expenditure
of $50,O00,O00. The critical judg-
ment of experts pronounced it's
eleven main exhibit buildings, it's
five courts, ESQ pieces of statuary,
mural paintings and lighting effects
one of the most magnificent ensem-
bles of buildings and grounds ever
achieved.
An enormous part of the outlay
is represented in the "zone,' the
amusement street of the Fair.
: The exhibit palaces include a to-
tai area of -2,663,1S3 square feet.
Sixty thousand exhibitors will fill
this space, the promoters of the Fair
declaring that the exhibits will cover
the arts, industries and resources of
the entire world and summarize the
achievements of human history.
Many Conventions. -.
Not only will the exposition be re-
markable in it's exhibits showing but
in it's special events, congresses and
conventions, spectacles and pageants
The. Department of congresses has
listed between 400 and 500 national
and International organizations which
will hold their meeting or conven-
tions here. It is estimated that an
average of six conventions will be
held every day during the life of the
exposition which will last until De-
cember 4.
To house these meetings the city
and exposition management have re-
Gently completed construction of "a
permanent auditorium downtown,
which cost 100000, inside the

ROTARY CLUB IS WINNER
Defeats big Bsmidg II SECOND Game
Of Series BY Score Of 81 to To-
Contest Was Hard Fought.
PLAY DECIDING GAME TONIGHT

In one of the hardest fought and
toughest basketball games ever play
ed in Bemidti, the Duluth Rotary club
five last evening defeated stBig Be
midg'' by score Of to Is, thereby
making the series even, each team
having won one game. The deciding
game will be played this evening.
Both teams played fast basketball
and at the end Of the first period the
score stood Is to 10 in favor of the
visitors Bemidji players found it
almost impossible to net the ball and
repeatedly throws which looked like
certain counters would enter the has
ket, only to circle out. Miller Sc
cured two sensational baskets during
the last part of the game and in all
collected ten points for Bemidji.
Brandon counted two field baskets
and five fouls. The floor work of
Miller and Brandon was fast. Bestul
and Trafton played a good defensive
game and held their opposing for
wards, Harris and Dick Bradley, to
three baskets. Peck's covering was
not as good as usual and Solheim, the
Duluth center, found the basket four
times. 5#
Harris and Solheim starred for Du-
luth and zemann broke up many of
Bemidji's plays. Dick and Bill Brad
ley, although inclined to .rough-it,
played strong basketball.

is THIS A BACKWooDs STATE?

4 MOVEMENT it noted in the
i ~ Minnesota Legislature to aban-
don good roads as State pro-
position and return to the local con-
troll of road building.
1t would be more accurately de-
scribed as movement to put Mime
sofa definitely among the backwoods
States.
The last Legislature authorized a
long forward step toward the solu-
! ton of the roads problem. 1t contrived
a combination of State and country
control, and arranged for the raising
of large fund for the work. This
plan has scarcely as yet been tried
out. The taxes under its operation are
just coming into hand, and the ap-
preaching season will see the first
real test of it's efficacy.
Yet it is now seriously proposed to
go back into the dark ages of local
road work from which Minnesota IS
just emerging. Those who make this
proposal talk of the antagonistic in
terests of city and country, and of the
divergent needs Of the man who drives
an automobile and the farmer who
drives his wagon to town. This is all !
moonshine. There is no antagonism
of interest here. Good roads are as
necessary to the cities as to the coun-
try, and as vital to the country as to
the cities. The motor driven vehicle
and the one that is horse drawn bene-
fit equally from good roads,
Moreover, it is to the interest of
the farmer to have his section made
ready accessible to automobiles, for
it means an influx of travel and trade
that are bound to increase all land
values Hotels for tourists will spring
up all along radial roadways. They
will furnish near and profitable mar
ket for all manner of farm products.
Minnesota will become what it was
so superbly fashioned by nature to be-
come-a paradise for summer outings.
Money will pour into the State from
all sides. New settlers will come
Prosperity will follow in the wake of
good roads, as flowers follow the rain
and sunshine.
But if Minnesota is satisfied with
sloth and bad roads, with the inacces-
sibility and mud of the backwoods,
then by all means let the Legislature
retrace its steps and abandon the
roads to the shiftless inefficiency and
disconnectedness of local road build
ing and repair Let the lesson that has
been learned by more progressive
Commonwealth go for naught. Let
New Jersey and California and Maine
and the go-ahead States reap the ad.
vantages of their wisdom. Minnesota,
it will be said, prefers to lag far in
the rear Minneapolis Journal.

Credit is an estimate of your capa-
