HUNGARY Inv AsON
NOW RUSSIAN GOAL
General Staff of Slavs Thinks This
Move More Important Than An Ef-
fort to Capture Cracow.
AUsTRIANs GIVE WAY AT BEsK1D
Victorious Przemysl Army to Be
Pressed Into Service in New Cam
paign-Reports are Vague.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, April 5.-The first
positive information that the Rus
SLAMS have decided to use their
Przemysl army for the Hungarian
campaign is contained in today's
official announcement from Vienna
that large Russian reinforcements
from Przemysl have compelled the
Austrians to give way in the Beskid
region. :. IL =. 80
Required Fortnight. .
~ The Beskids are the highest part
of the Carpathian range, which dis
trict the Lupkow Pass provides rail-
way communication from Przemysl
through Southern Galicia into Hun
gary. Przemysl capitulated on March
%. 1t had required, therefore, near
~ q fortnight to move the Russian
besieging force over the sixty miles
of railway that separates the San
fortress from the Carpathian battle
front. Part of this time undoubted-
ly, was spent in debating the use
to which the Przemysl army should
be put ~'
The Austrian official report indi-
Gates that the invasion of Hungary
was considered more important by
the Russian general staff than an
effort to capture Cracow. This un-
quest ionably is the most advanta-
geous service the fresh Russian forces
can render the Cars Western AL
lies. It is not quite yet apparent
that the Lupkow Pass and it's vast
ly important railway has fallen into
the hands of the Russians.
Impossible to Determine.
Both Austrian and Russian official
reports define gains and losses very
vaguely so that it is impossible to
determine definitely whether the
metal line Of communication into
Hungary for which the slavs are now
fighting has been won. , : E -
In all probability the Austrians
still retain possession of the Hungar-
ian side of the mountains in the Lup-
kow region. The Austrian army
must be dislodged from the noun
tains and driven toward the plains
before the Russians can nsst q h1ish q
sure ascendancy and make use of
the Magyar Railway. It is proba-
BILE that German reinforcements are
being rushed to the assistance of the
hard pressed Austrians.
If the Slavs can establish them
selves on the Hungarian side of the
Lupkow Pass before the Germans ar
rive, they will have won a highly
important tactical work now before
the Przemysl army.

MERCHANTS INTERESTED
Through Advertising They Will As.
.sist Residents in Making Bemidji's
Cleanup Week Successful. s..
STOP WALKING ON LAWN EVIL

That "Clean-up and Paint-up''
week in Bemidji is going to be one
Of the biggest attractions of the year
is now evident, as indications are
that merchants who have merchan-
disc to sell appropriate to this spe-
cial occasion are going to become
deeply interested and call attention
to their supplies through advertising.
The Given Hardware company
has already come to the front and IN
today's issue we publish a very ap-
propriate advertisement over their
name, in which they call attention
to the CLEANUP AND -PAINT-UP
week and also make many sugges-
lions which should prove valuable to
our citizens. 49,
The advertisement is catchy and
attractive, a splendid head line cut
being used to exemplify the contents
as we'll as the occasion. With sew
eral more days as the past two, ac-
tive work in the cleanup department
will be in evidence in every section
of the city.
Cutting across lots and corners
is habit among the school children
and grown folks alike, but many in
stances have been cited where this
practice is being discontinued and
with the improvement of lawns and
cleaning of streets, back yards, front
yards and alleys, walking on walks
will become habit. It must be re-
membered that walks were built to
walk on and the children should be
taught to- use them for that purpose.
: Hundreds of ash piles are to be
found on the streets at present, but
as soon as the weather will permit
these ashes should be scattered in
the center of the sand streets, thus
making a good hard road bed for
driving purposes. There is yet con-
siderable work in the grading Of
streets to be done, which, with the
assistance of the property holders
can be easily accomplished.
The Pioneer has made arrange
ments to conduct a CLEANUP and
PAINT-UP campaign in it's columns
and will make every effort to COOP
crate with the various committees ap-
pointed to carry on this splendid
work. Chairmen of committees who
wish to make announcements of work
they desire done will be given lib
eral use of the columns in this paper.

James L. George, auditor of Bel

in which he calls the attention of
owners of lands which are affected
by ditch liens to the fact that interest
must be paid' annually on liens
against the lands benefited by any

Mr.. George, Including those lands

Must Be Paid.
when I say must be paid before
June l Of each year. I mean that
penalties and interest will be avoided
by doing so.
''The county borrows the money
to construct the bitches, and the
county must pay the interest on the
money borrowed, twice a year. It
is therefore necessary to charge this
interest and collect the same when
due.
Do Not Understand.
"a great many of the new set
tiers on these government lands do
not understand this matter and think
they do not have to pay any interest
until they have proved up. They
are not compelled to do so, but it
will save them penalties, costs and
interest if they do pay it promptly
instead of waiting until they have
proved up"
