svea Hotel Threatened by Blaze
Chief Doran is Injured.

Fire, caused by defective wiring,
threatened to destroy the Svea hotel,
corner Third street and Bemidji av-
enue, at an early hour this morning.
The flames were first discovered in
the display room of the Smart
Getchell Implement company. Quick
response to the alarm kept the flames
from breaking through the floor of
apartments. But slight damage re-
suited. Herbert Doran, chief of the
fire department., was cut by flying
glass when he broke down a door. Al
though the wounds are deep, they are
not serious.

JUDGES OFF FOR SUMMER

Washington, June 21.-Breaking
all records for many years in the
number of cases disposed of in one
term, the United States Supreme
Court adjourned today. The nine
judges went on their annual summer

many important cases to go over until
fall, attaches declared more disputes

GERMANY'S REPLY TO
CALL FOR DISCUSSION
Omitted Press)

Berlin, June 21.-Germany in
tends to discuss with the United
States the whole question of naval
warfare before it gives it's final de-
cision Of naval warfare in the next
communication and this will be open
for discussion. Nothing much has
been done toward the United States
note dis the kaiser Is at the Ga1icfan
front. No informal conferences
have been held with Ambassador
Gerard such as prepared the first.
1t is not probable that the kaiser
will confer with Mayer Gerhard I'M
til after the next note has been dis
patched and this indicates that the
next note will not be final, but will
evoke further exchanges.
That Germany has made serious
charges of abuse of the American flag
by the allies, was confirmed by the
state department this afternoon.
Six instances in two months have
been cited by Germany. The Amer
lean embassy at London has been
queried as to this matter but no an
sWer has been given. 1t is stated
that British merchantmen sent out
to comb the seas for German submar-
ines have misused the flags. This,
it is believed, will figure prominently
in Germany's next note, and will be
given on the ground that German
submarines are not able to observe
the stoppage of vessels and make a
search.

Prohibitionists Confident That Vic
tory Will Result Baudette and
Spooner Only Saloon Towns.
EVEN "WETS" FAVOR ELECTION
OF Opinion That Citizens Should Be
Given Opportunity to Show
Preference-Treaty is Cause.

Beltrami county is to vote on
county option. Petitions will be
placed in circulation during the next
few days, say OptiOnists, and the spe-
cial election will be held some time
in August or September, on Monday
between forty and fifty days after the
petition, bearing the signatures of
twenty per cent of the voters at the
last election, has been filed with
James L. George, county auditor.
There are only two saloon towns
in Beltrami county, Baudette and
Spooner, and it had been
believed that the county
would not be put to the expense of
special election, but the prohibition
lists have decided that a vote should
be held, enabling the citizens to show
their preference. Bemidji and sew
eral other places have been closed by
the government under the provisions
of the Indian treaty.
Favored by ''Wets."
Strange as it may seem, "wets'' of
county are DESTROYS that an option
election be held and many have an
nounced that they will assist in cir
culating the petition. Optionists
take the stand that the results of the
o1oction will chou, uh ofhor eon&;roop&

will clarity ill-feeling which has been
aroused in many quarters because of
the treaty enforcement.
The prohibitionists are of the opin-
ion that option will carry by large
majority and believe that the money
used will be advantageously ex-
pended.
Koochiching to Vote.
Koochiching county is to vote On
option August 2, petition bearing
300 more names than necessary hay
ing been filed with Auditor Slocum
Saturday. Prohibition leaders there
are anxious that Beltrami have an
election in order that this entire sec
ton Of the state may come under the
provisions of the county option law.
Seven Vote Today.
There are sixteen counties to vote
on county option within the next few
weeks, seven elections being held to-
day, being in Martin, Stevens, Hous-
ton, Chippewa, Mile Laos, Pine and
Faribault. The other elections will
be as follows: June 28-Mower,
Crow Wing, Wilkin and Grant. June

SLOW MOBILIZATION NOT CAUSE
Lemberg Climax to Be Reached Soon

Than From Field Forces,
By J. w. #. MASON.

New York, June 21.-Italy's often
sive operations seem to be breaking
down before an invisible enemy. An
nouncements from both Rome and
Vienna concerning developments of
the Austro-Italian fighting are 60
meager that it is impossible to detect
where the Austrians have made their
concentrations or at what points
their counter Offensives are threaten
ing to develop. This circumstance
is not to the advantage of the Ital-
ians. The Austrians might have
ficulties from the very start of the
Italian campaign because of the long
period of fighting they have gone
through and because Of the necessity
for continuing to use part of their
forces against the Russians. Never
theless there seems to have been an
admiral strategic distribution of Aus
TRANS near the Italian frontiers in
advance of Italy's declaration of war
The Italians are demonstrating this
probability, by the reluctance they
are showing to advance.
Four Weeks Pass.
Four weeks have passed since Italy
announced her belligerency and yet
no battle of serious proportions have
been fought. The Italians have done
no more than reach the outer defen-
sives of the Austrians.
Mobilization arrangements unques-
tionably have broken down in Italy,
but it is difficult to imagine them be-
ing interrupted so badly as to con-
tinue interfering seriously with the
Italian offensive four weeks after
mobilization began.
Other reasons than mobilization de-
lays must now be searched for to eX
plain the reluctance of the Italians
to give serious battle to the Austri-
ans. 1t is probable that the domin-
of the effect Of public opinion if the
Italians were to be defeated in their
first major advance. Unquestionably
the Italian people were enthusiastic
