"THE CITY AND ITS PROBLEMS
Interesting Program Held by Wo-

'The City and It's Problems" was
the topic discussed at the Woman's
Study club yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
E. H. Denu had charge of the pro-
gram and the following papers were
given: "Tenements and Sums" Mrs.
c. w. Jewett; "Traffic Public Mar
kets," Mrs. G. E. Battles; police and
Fire Protection" Mrs. e. H. Denu.
Mesdames D. L. Stanton and E. F..

mittee to have charge of the rest
room during the next year. The pro-
position of assisting the city council
in it's cleanup campaign was dis
cussed and committee appointed to
investigate the proper course to pur-
sue. Both the Merchants associa-
ton and the Commercial club will be
asked to assist. A plan was sugges-
ted whereby a Cleanup Week will
be held. The next meeting of the

TOMORROW ST. PATRICK's DAY.
Will Be Observed in All Parts of
Country-Catholics Have Party.

Tomorrow will be the seventeenth
of March and it's St. Patrick's day,
all day long. It will be marked by
general observance in Bemidji as we'll
as the country over. There is to be
st. Patrick's day entertainment in
the basement of St. Philips Catholic.
church. given under the auspices of
the Young Woman's club of the Ca
tholic church, tomorrow evening. The
basement will be appropriately decor
ated for the occasion and an excellent
program has been arranged. De-
spite the fact that authentic records
of St. Patrick are to- be had, some
dating back almost to his own time,
the average reader will probably ad-
nit that all he knows about st. Pat
rick is that he drove the snakes out
Of Ireland and is beloved by the Irish.
But St.. Patrick is more deserving Of
honor and fame for turning the Irish
from their worship of idols and hob
COLLINS to Christianity than for rid
ding the Emerald Isle of creeping
things. He was the apostle of the
Irish, and there was no influence so
great as his ip the history of the race.
The date of St. -Patrick's birth is a
mooted question, some writer's placing
it at 377 and others five years earlier.
He undoubtedly lived to ripe age,
and historians place his death on
March II, 464. ~: z..-e.1 ...-.

SHEPHERD TELLS OF
WARS BRAVEST men
By WILLIAM G.. SHEPHERD.

(UNCed TfeSs stan COrreSpO0dent)
London.-(By Mail to New York }
This is about the bravest man I
have met On either side in the great
war. He's half Dane and half Hun
garian and he's an officer in the Aus
tro-Hungarian army. His name is
Olaf Wolff and he is only thirty-eight
years old.
Wolff always fights with the odds
at least thousand to one against
him. He always fights blindfolded
while the enemy fights open-eyed.
He must fight this way because he
is under orders to do so. He may
be dead, by this time. 1 met him
six weeks ago, on a monitor on the
Danube and when l said boodbye to
him wouldn't take one cents worth
of insurance on his life.
At the beginning of the war there
were four Austro- Hungarian monitors
on the Danube, little fighting boats
of steel, IS feet long and thirty feet
wide. Wolff was called from his
place in the high-sea navy to take
charge of those four little boats on
the river. It looked like an easy
and interesting job. The steel ar
NOR of the boats, the big guns that
could reach as far as any of the Ser
Wan land batteries, the machine guns,
that could NOW down any Servian
army on the low banks of the river,
it looked like lark.
The first crack out of the box,
Wolff was ordered to take one of the
monitors into the Save river, which
forms the Servian border. He drop
ped down the Danube from Vienna
to Belgrade, where the Save has it's
mouth. It was moonlight night.
The Servians had blown up the great
steel bridge and it's twisted Orders
almost filled the W, terway where the
two rivers met. There were mines
at every hand. The great guns of
Belgrade began to fire. One shell,
exploding in a glancing way on the
deck, killed twelve men. But the
little monitor steamed ahead, turned
into the Save, showed her tail to the
great Servian forts and ran up be-
tween the low banks of the Save to
where Austrian soldiers on one side
and Servians on the other,:s= were
fighting across the waterway.
The monitor raised havoc with the
Servians for two hours, the next af-
ternoon. The river sailors we're safe
from the Servian rifles and the Ser
Wan machine guns. They worked
their own machine guns like mad
men. But huge shell fell on their
deck. It came from battery six or
seven miles inland. 1t killed twenty
men. Wolff ordered the ships, big
guns into action. But where should
they be pointed? What was the
range of that distant battery? An
other Servian shell fell near the
! monitor. The Servians had the
range on the Save. Their guns were
trained, to! a decimal point; on the
narrow river. But there was moth
ling for the monitor to train it's guns
on It was like blind man dueline
with a man who had perfect eyes.
