Two Countries Should Never Have

Germany will strive in the coming
note, and in any subsequent ex-
changes to interpret fully the desire
of the German people, which is one
of entire goodwill and which is al
ways ready to adopt any honorable
means to prevent misunderstanding
and discord."
Baron Mumm Won SchWartzenstein
now attached to the German foreign
office, and one of the leading diplo
mats of Germany, made this state
ment in an exclusive interview grant
ed the United Press today. His eX-
preston is particularly significant
because of his intimate relations
with the kaiser. The baron at one
time was the German ambassador to
Toxic; during the Baline administra-
ton he was special attache at
Washington and he possesses a full
understanding of the relations be-
tween the German of1icialdom's ap
parent determination to clear away
the feeling in America that Germany
has been Indifferent to American
publication. The baron emphasized
the point that both countries had
been led into a misunderstanding be-
cause news reached each other
through English channels.
II am glad to see the effort on
both sides to clear up many of the
primary causes Of the misunder-
standing between the two great coun-
tries bearing fruit" continued the
baron. Il have learned it was be-
lieved in many American quarters
that Germany was not only indiffer-
ent to the possibilities of conflict
with America, but that she. was de-
liberately seeking to involve Am
erica We regret that there are any
Americans who believe it, Germany
could not reconcile such an inter-
vention to the ideals of her people.
You cannot indict a whole people.
"Our two countries should never
have lodged charges of bad faith
against each other Germany does
not want her sincerity any longer to
be questioned in the new continent.
Quite naturally she resented the in
dictment for responsibility for this
war without judge, jury or witnesses
but on the wholesale evidence sup
piled by her enemies as soon as the
war broke out. Our people feel they
have the right to expect at least a
suspension of Judgment until the
proper means of communication are

FORMER FISTIC CHAMPION
KNOCKS OUT BOOZE KING

Atlantic City, July 6.-Delegates
to the congress of the Anti-Saloon
League of America, which opened
here today, will be entertained by
John l.. Sullivan, former fistic cham
pion of the world, who, after being
knocked out by booze "came back" at
John Barleycorn in way that settled
the issue decisively for all time, at
least with John L.
The ex-champion will again enter
the ring with the Booze King, when
he makes temperance lecture adj
dress today before the members of the
Anti-Saloon congress on the Million
Dollar Pier in this city by the sea.
If the giant fighter is successful
in his initial assault on old man
booze he will make a tour of the
country, campaigning in the interests
of the i-Saloonists. And old John
L. can swing verbal punches as hard
as he once did his famous Knockout
blows in the squared ring.

CORIELL ACT PLEASES
Youthful I'll Acrobat Thrills Large
Crowd-Slides Down Wire on Head

One of the most interesting feat
ures of the independence day cele-
bration was the performance given
by Coriell. Coriell thrilled the crowd
by walking up an inclined tight wire
where he turned and balanced on his
head, sliding to the ground in that
Derilous position. He made several
attempts to accomplish the feat be-
fore successful. He gave several &C
robatic stunts previous ITO his wire
performance. Coriell, who will not
be old enough to vote until next Jan
uary, has Travelled with acrobatic
troupes since he was eight years old,
staging his own acts during the last
six years. He gave one performance
during the morning and one in the
evening, the last act being the more
brilliant.

F0SSTON WINS TWOGAMES
Defeats Bemidji in Sunday Contest by
3 to O Score and Wins Celebration
Encounter 4 to O-Errors Count.
TAGLAND TWIRLS NO-HIT GAME

Tagland, young man who had
never pitched game of baseball be-
fore in his life, twirled himself into
Northern Minnesota baseball fame
Sunday afternoon when he won a
no-hit and no-run game for Fosston
against Bemidji. Tagland, who is
practicing dentist of Fosston, is a
former University of Minnesota
catcher. The only semblance of a
hit was when Claude Bailey hit a
fly behind second base which was
muffed by the second baseman after
batters completely at his mercy and
not a ball was batted out of the in
field. He came to Bemidji to catch
for Fosston. Fosston won the game
by score of to 0.
Charlie Paul pitched for Bemidji
and ordinarily would have won his
contest for he pitched good ball, al
lowing but five hits.
In the game of Monday, played as
a feature of the celebration for a
purse of $50, also went to Fosston,
the white-wash brush again being ap-
piled. Sather, of Fergus Falls,
pitched for Fosston, while McKeig
was on the slab for Bemidji Nc
Keig worked splendidly and had he
been properly supported the game
would have gone into extra innings
Over-throws and poor base running
undoubtedly cost Bemidji the game.
Fosston deserved both victories.
The box score of the Sunday con-
test follows:

The programs for the other days
Of the week are just as full as that
for the first day. The whole round
Of country life will be thoroughly
discussed, the aim being to get at
means of making country life rela-
lively as possible, useful and enjoy
able as city life may be- -.-u.~.. ~.5.
In such a conference the rural
pastor, by virtue of his position of
leadership, must have large place.
The rural pastor Of the future must
be a man trained to meet special
conditions and he must have the sup
port Of every interest in his commu-
nifty which may benefit by the country
life improvement. This means the
banker, the merchant, the school
superintendent, the editor, the doctor,
the lawyer, and every other progress
sive citizen.
Because all such people are inter-
ested in the work of improving coun
try life conditions, they should be
concerned about the success of the
coming conference.

PATRIOTISM PROMINENT AT BEMIDJFS
BIG INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION
SUBMARINE RING IS
SUCCESS, SAYSGERMANY
Omitted Press)

Berlin, July 6.-Germany's sub
marine ring about the British Isles
is constantly growing tighter, and
every week the admiralty is launch
ing two monster submarines with
sufficient power and supplies. to cross
the Atlantic.
1t is believed here that the recent
high toll of German submarine war
fare is striking terror in the hearts
of British shippers. British newspa-
pers print less than half Of the loss
es, and it is estimated here that the
loss to England is 100000 weekly.
The rise in price of foodstuffs in
both France and England proves the
success of submarine warfare. It is
only question here of how long Eng
land can stand the strain.

WOMAN SAYS GIRLS
ARE FAILURE IN BUSINESS

Denver, Colo, July 6.-Girls,
you're no good in business! A woman
said so.
Mrs. E. A. Hodgkins, instructor and
advisor of employees in Denver's de-
partment stores speaks with author

"If I were the owner Of large
store I would employ only men. Wo-
men have only their intuition to de-
pend upon to succeed in the business
world They lack judgment and
reasoning powers. They do a thing
but cannot tell why they did it. Their
inherent inability to give a reason
when asking why prevents them from
being as valuable to business as
men,"
These are Mrs. Hodgkins words.
Her professional title is deficiency
expert"
"Women are paid less than men
not because their sex is unfairly
treated" Mrs. Hodgkins continued,
"but because they are worth less. !
should consider women too much of
a risk There are many exception
ally well-balanced women but even
they are likely to fail when it comes
to a matter of reasoning. A woman
CANDLES where a man reasons.
"A saleswoman may increase the
profits of her department, but ask
. her how she did it, and she can't tell
you. She took chances, trusting tc
her intuition. Women never will
deserve equal pay with men in bust,
