DUMBA SAYS STRIKES
ORDERED BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, Sept. 9.-Dr. Constan-
tine Dumba, the Austro-H Hungarian
ambassador left late yesterday for the
summer embassy at Lenox, Mass, to
await word from Secretary Lansing as
to whether or not the United States
government is satisfied with his ex-
planation of his intercepted letter to
the Vienna foreign Office outlining
plans for withdrawing Austro-H Hun
garian labor and handicapping Amer
ican plants manufacturing war sup
plies. . u+f2
The ambassadors statement to Mr..
Lansing yesterday that he was acting
under instructions from his govern
ment in all that he planned to do, ap-
parently has made diplomatic situa-
tion of the affair far more serious
than a mere question of ethics or
propriety involving only DR.. Dumba
himself
Silence on the subject was observed
again today at the White House and
state department., and so far as is
known no decision has been reached
as to what course shall be adopted.

London, Sept. 9.-Zeppelins last

It was officially announced today
that 20 people were killed and 88
wounded in the raid. Everyone who
was killed were civilians except one

The raid was apparently against
the down town hotel district.

said, II would protest loud, before

using my invention. AS 1 saw the
zeppelins used last night, I have
come to the conclusion that if any
of my inventions were used to kill
innocent women and children like
they did, I would cry out before the
whole world. I do not know how
many were killed in the raid last

above its natural stage by the dams
at Kenora, according to figures sub
mitted to the International joint com

at Kenora, who stand for the highest
possible level, are represented by Mr..
lockwood of Minneapolis. Ill.,:
Evidence has been given to show
that a large amount of damage has
already been caused by the high wa

attendance at the hearing.
The commission opened it's hearing
on the Lake of the Woods levels Tues
day and the entire population along
the shore here was represented.
At the meeting of the settlers

Bemidji banks show total deposits
of over $1,219,OO0 at the close of
business Sept. 2, on their call state
ments issued at the request of the
comptroller of currency for the ma
tional banks and the superintendent
of banks for the state bank. The de-
posits show an increase of $1,000
over the call statement issued about
a year ago, Oct 81.
Savings accounts have increased,
which is considered the most striking
showing of indication of general
stability of business.
The gain in deposits is considered
very good by the Bemidji bankers in
as much as at this period money is
assisting in the big crop movement.
That the banks would have shown
much greater increase if outside
business conditions were better was
the statement made by several bank

7 Men In Each County
Will Campaign For
Amendment

Senator P. H. McGarry of Walker
was in Bemidji Wednesday on his
way to Virginia, Minn, and was very
enthusiastic over the amendment
which he is fathering for the state TO
maintain $250,00O revolving fund
to be used in Northern Minnesota to
reclaim lands.
Two Men in Each County.
Il have received the names of two
men from each county in the state,"
he said, (which will be submitted to
the senators in each district and if
satisfactory these men will be named
as a committee to have charge of the
amendment campaign in their COM
munities.'
Senator McGarry is very enthusiast
tic over the part in the amendment
providing for the clearing of five
acres of land and says that the
amendment will affect 100000
acres of state land and 100000
acres of private land
Particular Interest Here.
The new amendment is of partic-
ular interest to Bemidji and Beltrami
county as it will mean that several
hundred settlers will come to this
part of the state. Several Bemidji
men, it is believed, will become very
active in the campaign to secure the
amendment

Decisive Battle FOUGHT.
Mason Comments on Removal,

J. w. T. Mason, correspondent fo>
the United Press, comments on the
removal of the Grand Duke Mich
olas as follows:
At the beginning of the war, Grand
Duke Nicholas was made commander
in chief of the Russian armies. He
superseded the czar himself, whose
own title is more simply "chief OF
the army" The czar stepped into
the background and, during the last
year stories have been told of the
rather curt treatment shown to the
czar by the grand duke on the for
mer's visit to the front.
:. Nicholas is man of stern char
acter, man strict disciplinarian, and
is unaccustomed to intimate friend
ships. This may be the type that
meets with popular approval when
victories are being won; but when
defeat begins and disaster follows dis
aster the friendless man, even though
he be grand duke, has little chance
of continuing to hold his command.
Evade Responsibility.
Until lately, the grand duke sue
ceeded in evading responsibility by
attributing his reverses to the in
ability of the war office in Petrograd
to supply him with ammunition. But
it is certain criticism was directed
against him from high quarters. Re-
ports have recently been in circula-
tion that he was very i'll and needed
a rest. Probably these rumors were
part of plot to force the grand duke
to retire and prepare way for his
disappearance.
The czar's public announcement
that the comman d of the army has
been resumed by himself is doubtless
the elimination of a long intrigue
against the grand duke. But the
czar has no special military ability.
If left to himself, he would bring
worse disasters on Russia than the
grand duke has done. The czar, in
fact, cannot command in the sense
that the grand duke commanded. His
majesty unquestionably will sur
round himself with board of strate-
gy, and it will be this board which
will hereafter control the military
operations of Russia.

ERIC THE RED ONE OF FINEST
AMONG COUNTY CHAMPIONS
Beltrami County Girl Raises Prize
Animal in County and Exhibits
Product at Exposition.

Eric the Red," one of the finest
red pigs among the county champions
at the Minnesota State Fair, is today
attracting much attention. The pig
was raised by Esther McGhee, 13, of
Meadow Lake, farm near Bemidji
She is the daughter of J. c. McGhee,
assistant county superintendent of
schools. Esther wrote the story of
her raising the pig. The story is as
follows
(By Miss Esther McGhee.)
My pig, Eric the Red, was born
March 10 and weighed 20 pounds on
the first day of May, the date from
which his feed record began. He is
a grade Duroc-Jersey, which I chose
because of his hardness and early
maturing qualities.
Fed Pig S Times Daily.
At first I fed him five times day
with two pounds of milk and two
ounces of shorts at each feeding, for
almost month. Then l added more
milk and shorts and also some bran.
From May 81 to June 2 fed him
milk from a fresh COW, which did
not cost anything. I gave him slops
from the house and three pounds of
shorts week.
Did Not Like Potatoes.
Once in while gave salt with his
other food. I pulled for him weeds,
radishes and lettuce, which he was
always glad to get. He was also fed
corn, potato peelings and small po-
tatoes, but he did not care for pota-
toes very much unless they were
cooked.
He had a large crate which was
used when he was weighed. When it
was placed in his pen with a little
corn in it, he always walked in the
crate and was weighed without any
trouble.
Gets 2 Pounds Corn Daily.
l weighed him June 20 and he
weighed 72 pounds. On July he
weighed 80 pounds and on July 20 he
weighed 81 pounds. From this date
he was fed two pounds of corn each
day, and he gained over a pound a
day.
Eric the Red has always been free
from sickness and vermin. He has
a movable pen which is moved often
to keep him clean.
Gains 1873 Pounds.
August 27 my pig was weighed for
the state contest. He weighed 1856
pounds. He has gained 1873 pounds
since May l. The total cost of his
food and pasture is $49O. His value
at IL cents pound is $11.62. The
profit is $6.72.
Although the one-eighth of an acre
of corn which I raised for my pig
was we'll cared for, it did not do we'll
on account of the late and early
frosts and the cold and wet weather.
I have learned many things, how
ever, about the raising of my pig,
and of my corn, which will be of use
to me in the future.
