A Sal. M Mans Good Fortune.

After spending twenty years as gro
Gerry deliveryman, Caleb Cornwall Merritt,
of Salem, Va, has been made independ
emily rich by the will of his sister, Mrs.
Ida H. Shipley, who died in Baltimore
June Is. He comes into 5G0-acre farm
near Thurmont, Md, fully stocked, and a
trust estate, the annual income from which
will amount 10 &, 600 The value OF Mrs.
Shipley's estate is estimated atabouiSl25,-
600 by Major James w. Denny, one OF
the executors of her will. or This sum,
about $40, 900 represents the value OF The
farm near Thurmont. The residue OF the
estate is valued at outSl00,000. Charles
Shipley, her hus band, left large estate,
but the bulk OF il went to his relatives.
Mrs. ShipIey's will dispoSeS OF her own
property. The windfall came unexpect-
eddy to Merritt, who, though he knew his
sister was possessed of comparatively
large holdings, had no idea they amount
ed to more than few thousand dollars,
nor that they would come into his hands
upon her death. Merritt was industrious
and plugged away consistently at his
work, but he was satisfied with his lot.
He had saved little money, but what he
had was mere pittance compared to the
amount which comes to him under the
will. The bulk of Mrs. Shipley's estate
will eventually come into the hands OF
the Board OF Missions OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church South. BY provision
of the will Merritt is to have life interest
in the residue of the estate, but at his
death the church is TO receive the corpus
OF the trust fund.

What might have resulted in d Sc
rious railroad accident took place
at Spur No. 1O7, just above Farley,
at II o'clock Saturday night when
the south bound passenger of the
Minnesota & International left the
track. While only one pair of trucks
remained on the rails none of the
wheels left the ties, the train moving
at a low rate of speed when the acct
dent took place. A wrecking crew
was rushed to the scene Immediately
and after six hours Of work the
coaches were replaced and the train
continued on it's way, reaching Be-

hours late. Roadmaster Mills is of
the opinion that a rail or some other
heavy article had in some manner
been placed on the track.

Objection of United States to Kaiser's
Blockade Scheme Most Important
of Weeks War Developments.
REEVES OLD TIME METHOD
Victory Of Marshall Won Hindenberg
in Poland Places Him as Most
Forceful Commander-Mason.
(By j. w. T. MasOn)

New York, Feb. 15.-America's OBJ.
lection to Germany's principle of sub.
marine responsibility in British
coastal waters is the most serious wal
development of the week. Not since
the hostilities began has the German
government shown any disposition tC
voluntarily recede from plans once
formed. When the war zone is de-
clared to exist around the British
Isles this week, an unique situation
in international law will prevail. An
attempt to establish at sea a battle
area where civilians and neutrals
may venture only at their own risk,
has frequently been attempted in
warfare, but only when mines have
been laid in the prohibited area, or
warships have marked the field for
a set conflict between themselves.
An attempt to starve out a bellig-
erent nation by destroying merchant
vessels at random, and without pro-
viding mean for rescuing their non
combatant passengers and crews, in
PRODUCES a new method Of offensive
into warfare, or rather revives an
old method which civilization had
supposedly discarded.
Far From Sufficient.
If neutral nations acquiesce in the
situation, it must have certain meas
ures of success, but far from sufi-
cient under the present circumstances
to influence the outcome of the war.
If neutral nations object the conse-
quence must be very serious for the
%offeding nation. Judging from the
standpoint of strategy it is a blum
der, unless the neutral nations af-
fected cannot take adequate meas
ures for protection.
Concerning this point, the same
school Of diplomacy that made the
international blunders during the
Hateful days of last July are still act

BEMIDJI TEAM IS WINNER
Brainerd High School Basketball
Five Unable to Stop Offensive Play
of Locals and Lose, 81 to 4.
EXCELLENT CHANCE FOR TITLE

Playing with a vim and speed sell
dom, if ever, witnessed on a Bemidji
basketball floor, the high school team
of this city defeated Brainerd satur-
day evening by a score Of 81 to 4,
thereby stepping one more notch
nearer the Sixth congressional dis
trict championship which will pro-
vide the boys an opportunity to COM
pete in the state title tournament
at Carleton next month.
Bemidji's defense was perfect and
play after play was broken up by
the fast work of Fred Graham, Claude
Bailey and George Graham, and their
passing and handling Of the ball was
fine. Brainerd was able to net but
one field backet, two points being Sc
cured from free throws. Brainerd
did not score in the second period.
Captain Johnson and Tanner, at
forwards, and Cameron at center,
played a wonderful offensive game
and nearly every opportunity to score
was taken advantage of. Johnson's
floor work was even more sensation
al than in previous games and the
opposing players found it almost I'M
possible to cover him, his perfect
passing and Feeding" giving Tanner
opening for nearly all of his II field
baskets. Three times was Cameron
able to count.
The entire Bemidji team played
superb basketball and it was plainly
apparent that Coach Bestul has de-
veloped a team which should not
only easily win the district title, but
should make an excellent showing
at the state tournament. For Brain
erd, Warner played the best basket
ball.
