PATR1oTs FeR PROFIT

lBy Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner)
HPeace at any price" is merely the
Officially adopted cry Of anguish of
the stockholders of the munition and
armament firms, and their friends, who
are making use Of it to take the wind
out of the sails Of any man who has
tho audacity to oppose their war pro-
paganda-and their private profits.
These patriots for proft-the richest
and most powerful group of men in
the United States-have their minds
set On vastly increased armament, and
they want no interference. But what
is more important, and more signi6.
cant, they also have their minds set On
supplying the increased armament
themselves.
In this connection I desire To sup
gest to the American taxpayers a meth.
cd by which they can turn the tables
and take the wind out Of the sails of
the patriots for profit who hold stock
in munition firms and cry out to heav.
en- for preparation for war:
Have congress say to J. p. Morgan s
and the other war trust stockholders
some of whom are men high in Official
life:
All right, gentlemen, you can have
a fleet Of battleships that will darker
the seas, and Notifications that will
cumber the earth, but the government
itself will manufacture all of it's OWL
war paraphernalia in government
plants. But although you will MOI
draw down the fat munition contract!
as heretofore, your patriotic desire tx
serve YOUR country will not be slight
Ell. The present tax on incorces in ex
cess Of $4,000 annually will be i'm
! mediately tripled, which will give you
an opportunity to demonstrate the cal
| ibre Of your patriotism by helping til,
poor bear the burden Of the cost Of
the increased armament which you ad
vocate, and 80 per cent. Of which agi
tation comes from the rich. OF cours,
yun gentlemen will have no objection

TO not agree with them that it is me-
c,essary to teach military tactics in

be Of value in the high schools, al
though it may be possible to attain

Governor Hammond has proclaimed
October 9th as Fire Prevention Day,
and his recommendation thai it be
widely observed is good. The Hinckley
disaster should have prevented the
Baudette tragedy. That it did not
shows that there is much to be done.
State Fire Marshal Hargadine says
the slogan should be "Make Minneso
ia freproof state.' For several years
it has been the policy of the State
Board of Control to erect freproof
buildings at state institutions, not only
because such construction is the safe
est, but also because it means more
sanitary building and little renair cost.
The fact that this policy had been fol-
lowed by the Board made it possible
for the legislature Of 1913 to adopt
the recommendations made in several
reports of the Board-that the state
carry it's own fire insurance. It is true
that the safer construction costs more,
and on this account the advocates Of
cheaper buildings succeeded in the last
legislature in preventing the better
buildings being erected at some Of the
institutions. = In some places it may
not make much difference. but on the
whole it would seem, since the state
is to carry its own insurance, that the
safer and more sanitary building is
cheaper in the end. 81: E..s l.. d. Al

Looks as if the republican aspirants

their strength as to let in julius

The attendance at the state fair is
not increasing in proportion to the in

somewhere. Possibly the revival Of

not commensurate with expenditures.

OuMBA ASKS SAFE CONDUCT
RECEIVES WORD FROM AUSTRIA
TO RETURN TO VIENNA.
German Attaches Phrase, "Thoso
Idiotic Yankees" Being consid-
cred by State Department.

Washington, Sept. 23-Ambassador
Dumba has informed the state depart
ment that he has received word from
his government to return to Vienna.
He asked for safe conduct to Vienna
ION leave of Absence
This government will not assist
Dumba in leaving the country, it was
officially announced, until the Aus
trian government formally answers
the request for his recall.
Action In Papen Case.
The president is still considering
what action, if any, is to be taken in
the case Of Capt. Frank Won Papen,
the German military attache here.
Alexander Won Pereked, Austro-Hun-
garian and German officials involved
in the Dumba incident. Photographic
copies of more Of the letters taken
from James F. J. Archibald in Lon
don will be awaited before final a.
ton will be taken.
A letter in German, written by Cap
tain Won Papen, in which occurred q
phrase which was translated those
idiotic Yankees" was referred to
translators at the state department
to determine tho exact meaning OF
the German words.
Attaehe Goes to Mexico.
Captain ven Papen il now en- route
70 Mexico.
Won Papen left New York some
days ago, ostensibly for Yellowstone
park and California.
Count Won Bernstorh, the German
ambassador, made no secret Of the
fact that the officer would no longer
serve az a member Of the embassy
staff. The difficulty Of procuring T.
safe conduct for him from the British
government was appreciated and the
report was current that Won Papen
would take leave and eventually 70
turn to his own country.
Evidence Against Archibald.
It appears now, however-and the.
fact is giving the administration con-
cern-that Won Papen has been trans,
ferred to another scene where his Pc
culiar activities can be utilized. He.
will go to Mexico to aid the German
legation.

introduction for Arc ibald, stating
that Archibald wished "once more to,

THE PLEASANT SMILE

He was not rich in worldly goods;
No Offices he held;
In no one field it might be said
OF him that he excelled;
He managed but to get along,
To march with rank and file,
And yet he was unique in this
He had a pleasant smile.
While others careworn faces wore,
He smiled his way through life;
He'd had his share Of trouble, too.
OF worldly care and strife;
But somehow burrows never came
That mark the weary mile;
His face a benediction was
He had a pleasant smile.
He made our burdens lighter seem;
Our worries chased away;
His CHEEKY greeting always made
A brighter, lighter day;
What though he never rose to fame.
Or never made his pile?
A monarch might have envied him
He had a pleasant smile.-Ex.

London, Sept. 23.-The entire north
ern frontier of Serbia is under bonn
bardment by the Austro-G Germans.
The principal fire Of the artillery is
being directed against the Serb posi-
tons along the Macva border in tho
northwest.
Bulgaria is preparing to attack Ser
bia the moment Austro-G German troops
cross the Serbian frontier, according
to Information from reliable Balkan
sources.
An Athens dispatch says Bulgaria
may declare war within 48 hours.
Four divisions, comprising more than
100000 Bulgarian troops, have been
modified and are being massed on
the Serbian frontier.
A quick dash through Serbia,
clear passage through Bulgaria, re-
lief of the Turks at Gallipon and
campaign against Egypt and the Suez
canal is said to be the plan of Ger
many, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria.
- Greece MobIIt1ss Army, Report.
An unconflrmed' report allowed to
pass by the censor at Athens says
that following a conference between
King Constantine, Premier Venizelos
and members Of the Greek general
stat, a meeting of the full cabinet
vas held, following which mobiliEa-
ton orders were issued.
The greatest activity prevails
among representatives Of the entente
powers at Athens. Continual confer
ences are being held between officials
Of the government and representatives
Of England, France, Russia and Italy.
It 10 stated, however, in we'll in
formed circles in Berlin, that 80 far
no information has reached there that
Greece intends to mobilize. It IL
stated that there il a possibility Of
Greece, Roumania and Bulgaria
reaching an understanding which will
prevent a general outbreak in tho
Near East.
So far there has been no Austro-
German attempt to invade Serbia.
Official dispatches from Nish mimi
mize the effects Of the Teutonic bonn
bardment.
Seek Peaceful Passage. -,
Another statement from Nish de-
MES a rumor that Germany advised
Serbia that the attack which tho cen
trail powers are starting was designed
not to crush Serbia, but for higher
political reasons" ana advising tho
Serbian government to make no A.
tempt to halt the passage Of tho leu
tonic troops.
While it is limited at the foreign
Office in London that England has not
yet given up hopes Of appeasing Bull
garia, It has been made known Off,
cially in Sofia that the Bulgarian gov
eminent will take over the territory
along the Dedeagatch railway ceded
by Turkey on Oct. 6, and that the Of
fetal transfer will take place on Oct.
II. The entente allies have warned
Bulgaria that occupation of this ter
ritory would be viewed as 4 hostile
act.
Bulgaria must make q. final reply
to the joint note of the allies by the
end OF September and Gear Ferdi-
nand is in daily communication with
leaders of the government and the
opposition.
While there is still hope In London
that Bulgaria has not yet cast her lot
with the central powers, It il feared
that the reply of the allies note may
take the form Of an invasion Of Scr.

The old commission started out with

Albert Lea Standard: ireland IS
population has at last begun to show
an increase. The port Of the registrar
general of ireland FOR 1914 shows a
population Of 1881, 1893, as against A.
379,012 for the previous year. The
increase is comparatively small, but
the Important fact is that it is on the
right side. To account for the ad-
vance in the total population there are
several facts, chief Of which is that
the emigration is now the lowest since
1851. More Irishmen are finding op-
portunities at home. Illiteracv is rap
idly dying out. Of husbands and wives
who signed the register instead OF
making thei. mark, the percentage is
94.6 for husbands and 96.4 for wives.
