RACE WAR BREAKS
OUT ON The RANGE
Son of Morris Man Causes Ar
rest of Sixteen Men and a
Woman Following Fight

One man was killed outright and
two others fatally stabbed IN a race
war between Serbians and Bulgarians
at Calumet, Aitkin county, last Fri
day night. The troubles arose over
the European war and will end in the
Aitkin county district court where
Ralph Stone, son of A. A. Stone, ST.,
of this city, will be the prosecutor.
Sixteen men and one woman have
been arrested for completely in the
murder. Two men who did the actual
stabbing have fled to swamp near
town and are being hunted by
sheriff's posse.
Thanksgiving afternoon bunch of
Serbians and Bulgarians gathered at
a saloon in Calumet. When the Burl-
garians began singing their national
anthem a melee started in which
knives, chairs and bottles were used.
Later in the evening about thirty men
on each side assembled and the battle
was renewed with vigor. At a given
signal the Serbs fell upon the Bulgars
and a terrific battle ensued. Knives
were used freely and chairs, bottles
and every available weapon was
brought into play. The Bulgars were
routed leaving five members of their
band, one dead, on the floor of the
saloon, which was wrecked. The dead
man had been stabbed through the
heart and died instantly. The knife
entered the back below the shoulder
blade. The battle was continued over
his body until the other four men fell.
An hour later the sheriff arrived and
sixteen of the men were taken to
Grand Rapis. One woman, the saloon
keepers wife, was taken. She was
arrested in the saloon where she was
tending bar. She is supposed to know
who it was who welded the knives

gram, or any doubt as to the immed-
late success. Those who talked over
the telephone did not raise their
voices above the usual conversation
al pitch, and the replies came back
from across the continent, clear and
instantaneous. There was no more
effort, delay or indistinctness than in
talking across a table. Professor
Bell says that he thought out the
telephone in Salem. A fitting place
for it's conception-there is witch
craft in it, and the most blase of
business men in the offices of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company on Monday felt something
akin TO uncanniness at the thought
that his voice had gone across thir-
teen states, shot over prairies and
through forests, hurtled through
cities, climbed the Rockies, Skinned
across the desert and reached the
Pacific coast, and the answer had
come back to him in an eye-wink.

Vanceboro, Me-, Feb. 8. -Another
international problem incident to the
war was thrust upon the United
States Tuesday by the action of Wer-
ner Van Horn who, operating on the
Canadian side of the border, dyna.
mited the railroad bridge over the
st. Croix river. and then escaped in
to Maine.
A few hours later, in a room at a
hotel here, Van Horn submitted to
arrest, but Immediately proclaimed
himself an officer of the German
army and set up the claim that he
had committed an act of war, and,
having fled to neutral country,
could not be surrendered legally to
an enemy of the fatherland.
The Canadian authorities took a
different view of the matter and
Immediately instituted proceedings
to extradite the prisoner on charge
of destruction of railroad property.
Pending the outcome of these eff
forts, Van Horn is held at the immi-
grafton office here in the custody Of

Gentlemen of the Subway"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The article on Women in business
was quite interesting to me. | thought it
time some one came to the defence of the
gentlemen of the subway" My respect for
the other sex fast approaches contempt when,
on many occasions, see women standing
while the whole row of seats is occupied by
men.
As far as condemning females Cor their
offensive gum chewing, peanut-eatirg habits
is concerned, have yet to see them excel
the men. Never in the six years | have trav-
clleG in the subway have | seen woman
eating peanuts; but | have seen man eat
a not too appetizing looking lunch, another
cut and manicure his nails and still another
manipulate a toothpick
Those young ladies who stay at nome are,
no doubt. much better of than their business
sisters, unless they happen to be themselves
sisters of these gentlemen of the subway"

Driven to Work.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir | should like TO say few words ABOUT
Mr.. Raymond NJ. Thurston's letter.
In the last fifty years economic conditions
have changed very greatly in this country and
indeed all over the world. Especially has the
cost Of living increased, with the result that
most men can no longer marry at as early an
age as they once did, and that every member
of family must contribute his or her snare
toward the general support. This change mas
driven thousands of women out into the
world to earn or help to earn their own Nv
ings. The educated ones have naturally drItt'
ed into positions requiring education ana
brain work, such as those of steno2rapners'
bookkeepers and clerks, and since women NOV
only will but can work for lower wages IMAM
men, and their work in these positions mas
been found to be satisfactory, they nave
naturally replaced the men who formerly &C.
cuped them. That is all.
| quite agree with Mr.. Thurston that II -
an unfortunate thing that young girls shoulu
be forced 20 work. Many of them dououess
are injured by contact with men VINO nave
not sufficient decency and gentlemanlIness -
give them their seats in cars and VINO los"'
them roughly and use language IN their pre-
ence which is not fit for young girl TO near
But unless some one can find way 70 ue
crease the cost Of living and so maze II pos,
sible for these girls to stay at home J Sn
afraid that they Will continue 20 take awe!
from men any positions which It Is w'' ON
their power to fill. | am sure that II ~
Thurston can but manage 20 solve TINS prov
lem no one will be more grateful TO him Una"
the unfortunate girls whom he abuses ~
caustically and so unfairly. Il is his type p"

Against Premature Peace.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: too wish to add my voice to the many
who have congratulated you on that fine edi-
torial con Bastile Day" 1t was wonderful,
but so were those that preceded and followed
it. After reading that editorial don't see how
any man or woman, not to mention any Amer
lean, could possibly think that Frenchman
would have to be made drunk before he would
fight to protect his wife and children from
the horrible atrocities committed by the Ger
mans on the Belgian women and children.
Would any man, think you, have to drink to
be put in the spirit of protecting his wife and
children from the Germans? These peace
societies that are springing up like mush-
rooms around us seem to have about as much
judgment as a year-old baby, and no more.
Any man or woman who tries to have peace
proclaimed while the Germans have Belgium
and Northern France in their power is
simply making public the fact that he be-
lieves that might is right, no matter how
thickly the road is strewn with women and
babies manged by the invading barbarous
race.
We want no peace until every inch of Bel
gian and French soil has been wrested by the
owners from the robber Germans. Peace with
Belgium in the hands of the Germans would
only be temporary only last until they
were again strong enough to attack. What is
such peace worth? NORA CANTWELL.
New York July q, 1915.
