Proposed Increase Of Companies.

Threatened increases in fire in
surance rates in Bemidji and through
out the entire state have been avert
ed and promises of reductions which
will save owners of dwelling houses
and business buildings hundreds Of
thousands of dollars have been OBJ
tanned by the state insurance depart

made by State Insurance Commits

reductions will go into effect July 1,
next.
Bemidji insurance agents have re-
ceived notice from Walter /. Fisher,
manager of the General Inspection
company, that the change in rates is
to be made and the conditions under
which they are altered pointed out.
These reductions are the first re-
suits of the fire insurance rating bill
fathered by Mr.. Works and passed by
the last legislature, giving to the in

wise rate-making within the state.
The negotiations which resulted in
the reductions have been in progress

BENIDU'S SCENIC HIGHWAY
NOW READY FOR TRAFFIC

&gE@
Bemidji's new state rural high
way, No. 9, between the city and
Blackjack, is nearing completion.
This road practically follows the
route of the old trail leading north
from Bemidji, winding along the west
shore of the lake to its head, which
was abandoned many years ago. Next
year the city will continue the lake
boulevard northward to connect with
this road but for the present any
road leading to the Lunn onion farm
may be used. The state road is met
at this point. This will give an at
tractive drive from Bemidji to the
north country. H. Thursdale, one of
the contractors in charge of the con-
struction, of the road, suggests that
for the, present, and until surfacing
is completed, that automobile drivers
use the new road when travelling
north only. This will avoid any
passing Of machines on unfinished
portions of the road.

GERMANY IS PREPARED
TO MAKE CONCESSIONS
UNITED Press)

Berlin, June 24.-Although it will
probably be delayed two weeks more,
and positively asserted as reliable,
the German reply to the second An-
erican note will make some decided
concessions. It is quite possible that
the reply, which is now in prelimin-
airy form, will suggest distinguishing
marks for vessels carrying non-con-
traband of war which will insure
them against submarine attacks. The
Germans are proceeding cautiously
with the framing Of the note. How
ever, the German answer will point
out that a distinct advance has been
made toward securing freedom of the
seas, for which, Won JagoW, German
foreign minister says, Germany is
fighting.

new RoADLAW TO RESULT
Senator Vibert of Cloquet Says Legis-
lature Must Pass Measure to Take
Place Left by Elwell Repeal.
GOOD TO RESULT FROM JUNKET

Fred D. Vibert, the Cloquet sena-
tor, who vas one of the most active
members of the Legislative excursion
of last week, is one of the many legis-
lators who now realize that a new
road law for Minnesota is necessary.
On his return to his home city from
Brainerd, the last city to be visited
by the excursionists, Senator Vibert
said although the E1well law repeal
ed, some such law to enable counties
to build roads will have to be en-
acted at the next session.
81 think" said the senator, "that
the responsibility of payment for
these roads will have to rest on the
county and not on the state as they
did under the Elwell law.
1.-THE thing which impressed me
most about the trip of the legisla-
tors, was. the large number of law
makers, who, though busy men, felt
sufficiently interested in the needs
of this north country to give 10 days
of their time and stand an expense Of
about $50 to take the trip" said
Senator Fred D. Vibert today. MANY
of the men had their wives with them
which made the expenses of a large
number of the senators more than
500: Nearly every man stayed with
the party throughout the tour. It
shows more than passing interest in
the affairs of the state when a man
will do this.
Senator Westlake and I greatly
appreciate the loving cups the mem
bers of the party gave us and we GER
tainly are proud of them. I think
every member Of thoparty has a new
idea of this part of the state and I
am sure that our needs will get con-
siderate attention in the next legis-
lature."
Senator Vibert had nothing but
praise for Bemidji and other towns
which were visited on the trip and
said that everyone seemed to enjoy
the 10 days to the utmost. He pointed
out that land values along newly con-
structed roads had increased from
SO to 100 per cent.

Berlin, June 24.-'On to Paris" is
the popular cry here during street
demonstrations following the fall of
Lemberg. Nothing official has been
given out, but it is limited strongly
and suggested unofficially that the
Germans are thought to enter the
offensive in Northern France. To
abandon the Ga1ician offensive and
make drives upon Paris, is the belief
of Germany, and it is thought that
the Teutons will renew their drive
upon the right wing of the Allied
armies.

CLOTHING STORE FLOODED
"The Leader" Stock Suffers Heavy
Loss as Result of Carelessness-
Water left Running in Hall.
BIG SACRIFICE SALE TO RESULT

Practically the entire stock OF
clothing, shoes and furnishing goods
of The Leader store, 21O Third street,
was damaged last night as a result
of an open water faucet which
was left running all night in the
bath room of the E1ks hall, which is
directly over the Leader.
1T is hard to estimate the exact
damage done," said Barney Erickson,
manager of the store, "as practically
every section has been soaked by wa
ter. Had the damage been caused
by fire and water, I believe insurance
companies would consider a fair loss
estimate at from $4,000 to $4,000.
It is going to be a big job to get
this stock back into the same con-
dition as before and I feel that the
quickest way to do is to turn the
stock owe to the general public at a
big sacrifice in price,. This has al
ready been decided upon and we will
put men at work today and Friday,
marking down the goods so that the
stock may be sold at once. We plan
on commencing the sale Saturday,
June 26."
Store Closed Two Days.
The store will be closed today and
Friday and opened for business Sat-
urday morning. Mr.. Erickson stated
also that every article, whether dam
aged or not, will be included in the
sale, which will mean that all the
new spring and summer stock will
go at water damaged prices.
The Elks hall was occupied last
evening by another organization and
it is thought by Mr.. Erickson that
the water was running from about
II o'clock last night until the store
was opened at 1880 this morning.
The ceiling in the store is of steel
and the water found it's way through
every corner and joint, thus flooding
the entire room. Water an inch
deep in some places was found on the
floor. Little damage was done to the
upper floor as most of the water soak
ed through the bath room floor and
spread by way of the steel ceiling.

SLAVS FALL &c.,
\cal
1OOWNBORDERLINE
Fall Of Lemberg Practically Concludes
German Operations in Galicia-
Russian Defeats Severe.
LOST CONQUERED TERRITORY
New Ofense Will Not Be Started
Without Assistance-Three Factors
Contribute to Wars Losses.
BY J. w. r. MASON.

New York, June 24.-The fall of
Lemberg practically concludes the
German operations in Galicia. The
Russians must now fall back on their
own border, while the Austro-Hun-
garian province which was to be an
nexed to the czar's empire after the
wal is returned to it's former pos
SCISSORS. The series of defeats the
Russians have suffered since the Ger
man drive began eight weeks ago
are among the most damaging of the
war;, not only because they take from
the Slavs their only conquered terri
tory, but also because they reveal
both a moral and military disinte-
grafton in the Russian army.
Must Have Assistance.
The Russians probably will not
again IT, a serious offensive I'M
aided. If Rumania keeps out of the
war-and if the western Allies con-
tinue unable to compel the Teutons
to deplete their eastern defenses-
it is difficult to see how Russia can
recover her military vigor. The Slavs
ed offensive at any time since the
war began. Their defensive quail
ties were admirable until the Gallo
ian operations began, but now they
have lost even this power under
stress of a strong attack. Unless,
therefore, Russia is assisted to her
feet, her future Importance in the
war will constantly diminish. Rus
STA, in fact, is the first of the bellig-
erents to be beaten.
Does Not Count.
The shortage of ammunition which
is said to prevail among the Slavs
does not account, by itself, for the
extent of the Russian collapse. Other
causes are at least partly responsible
for the defeat.
Probably foremost is Russia's low
degree of organizing skill and absence
of foresight. After having won Gal
icia, the Russians did not prepare
proper defensive positions, such as
the Germans, French and English
have constructed in the west. When
the German drive began, therefore,
the Russians were caught unpre-
pared.
Three Factors Contribute.
1t is highly probable that the
morale of the Russian troops has de-
generated and that the best fighting
units were killed earlier in the war.
The enormous number of prisoners
captured by the Teutons during the
Galician drive seems to substantiate
this conclusion. Three factors, there
fore, apparently have contributed to
Russia's defeat:
Moderate insufficiency of ammuni-
ton; "
Scarcity of prepared defenses, and
Low fighting quality Of the new
troops with the colors.
