Paris, Jan. 27.-Heaps of dead
German soldiers, victims of the re-
lentless anu bloody charges made
this morning against the trenches of
the Allies, was the birthday gift pre-
sented the Kaiser today.
Inspired by the presence of their
ruler the Germans fought desperately
but in vain, their numbers being
slaughtered as they attempted to
snatch victory from the Allies, every
effort being repulsed in the battle
waged in the vicinity of Rheims and
Graonna.
Fighting along the wooded heights,
west of Argonne, has been more des-
perate than during the past few days,
and the Germans have marched to
the firing front singing patriotic
songs on account of the Kaiser's
birthday. The Kaiser is reported as
being in the vicinity of Ypres today

WOULD SELL FOREIGN BONDS
Smith Will Ask Legislature to En-
able Board to Dispose of Securities.

Walter J. Smith, state treasurer, will
renew his efforts at this session of
the Legislature to obtain power to
dispose of outside bonds held by Min
nesota. He will seek to, have an
amendment to chapter SO of the Cen
eral Laws of 1913 submitted to the
voters at the next election providing
that majority of the board of in
vestment can vote to sell these bonds
instead of by unanimous vote of
the board, the idea being to turn the
bonds into money to be lent within
the state. For the present the dis
posal of $2,145,0OO worth of Virginia
bonds is sought. These bonds are
drawing 8 percent interest, the low
est rate Minnesota receives from
bonds of other state. The board of
Investment has applications for loans
aggregating 100000 to municipal
and school districts within the state,
with only $18,245 at it's disposal.

CALENDAR MAY BE LONG
Indications Are That February Term
Will Bring Many Important Cases
for Trial-Wright to Preside.
PETIT JURY REPORTS FEB. IL

Indications are that the February
term of district court which convenes
here week from next Tuesday will
bring for trial many important civil
actions. While several cases which
are certain to be tried have not been
noticed for trial with Clerk of Court
Rhoda, it is probable that such will
be done this week, Monday being the
last day on which they may be placed
on the calendar, except by stipula-
ton.
Among the most important cases
will be that of Mrs. Helena Klyberg,
who asks $4,000 damages because
of the death of her husband, Lars
Klyberg, who was killed on June "a,
1914, when struck by an automobile.
Mrs. Klyberg, through her attorney,
Montreville J. Brown, has brought
suit against four former Bemidji sa-
loon owners, Harry Gunsalus, Ole
Anderson, John Sullivan and John
Bye, and their bondsmen, claiming
that as a result of liquor sold KY
berg he became intoxicated and while
in that condition was killed.
Mrs. Klyberg is now at Clearbrook.
Several weeks ago her leg was broken
by fall and some difficulty may be
encountered in bringing her here for
the trial.
Several damage suits, including one
for malpractice, and one against a
local hospital for failure to properly
attend a patient, death resulting,
will probably be tried during the
term. The criminal calendar is ex-
pected to be very light.
The first day of the term, February
9, the grand jury will meet at II
o'clock in the morning and Judge
B. F. Wright, who is to preside, will
give his charge and select a foreman.
Wednesday will be devoted to the ex-
aminations of those desiring citizen
ship papers and on Thursday morn
ing, February II, the petit jury will
report at 9 o'clock. The trial of
civil matters will then be taken up.

ST. PAUL CATHEDRAL TO
OPEN ON PALM SUNDAY

st. Paul, Jan. 27.-On Palm SUN
day, the triumph In the life Of Arch
bishop John Iraland will be cele-
brated. This will be the formal OPP
ening of the $4,000, 900 st. Paul
cathedral. The building of the
cathedral, which has occupied sew
eral years, has been the life work Of
the aged archbishop. Because Of its
extreme height above the business
part of the city, and the fact that a
street car tunnel runs almost under
the cathedral, an engineering feat of
considerable magnitude was necessary
to prevent the cave-in Of the tunnel.
