This is Senator Nord's first visit to
Bemidji since the session Of the leg
islature began last January and he
was given a most cordial reception
by citizens of our city when it be-
came known that he was in the city:
Credit for Notary. 5:. ..
Compliment after compliment was
hurled at the senator because of the
important part he played in the Sc
curing of the appropriation, and in
speaking of the fight which was made
for the bill, he said:
Il want to tell you, gentlemen,
that the proposition looked most dis
couraging at the beginning of the
session, but thanks to the always ac-
tive work of your representative, Mr..
Pendergast, and others. we soon real
lied that we had a fighting chance
to pass a small appropriation. I do
not think that either house would
have permitted an appropriation Of
$4,000, the amount originally asked
for.
"There is one man who worked
hard, if not harder than did the rep
resentatives of this distrist, for the
passage of the bill, and that is Sena-
tor Patrick H. McGarry Of Walker
The Cass county senator did all in
his power for the bill and can say
with. all sincerity that had he OPP
posed it we would have been de-
feated and had he beentneutraI there
is doubt in my mind as to whether
we would have been successful. Be-
midi and Northern Minnesota is
truly indebted to Pat aMcGarry for
his assistance" -

New York, April 29.-The allied
army which has landed on the CALI
= poll peninsula to play a part in the
new Constantinople campaign, is fac
ing the most strongly protected area
of the earth's surface. The long mar
row neck of land between the Aegean
and the Dardanelles offers little room
for maneuvers by an attacking force,
in constant danger of being forced
toward the bordering waters. Forts,
batteries and trenches cover a large
part of the peninsula, while for
tunately situated hills add to the
strength of the defense
If the Anglo-French army were to
subdue Gallipoli, the feat would do
down in history as one of the great
est military accomplishments Of all
time 1t is impossible, in fact, that
this is the primary object of Sir Ian
Hamilton's command. Rather, the
Allies strategy probably has as Its
objective the separation of the Turk
ish armies protecting Constantinople,
and the GallipoH operations are be-
ing directed primarily for this pur
pose.
Two Centers of Defense.
The Moslems have two centers of
defense in European Turkey Adria-
nople and Constantinople. If the
Allies were to land troops along one
part only of the Turkish coast, both
the Constantinople and the Adria-
nople forces could be consolidated
and the Turks would know exactly
where to find the strength of their
foe. But the allies have not done
this. Besides landing at the north

of the terrible tragedy and search was
begun which soon revealed the three
charred bodies of the youngsters. .Au-

Unable to gain entrance to the tar

Children Alone in House.
The little tots had been left alone
in the house while the mother water

land at the Thornton farm two miles

was attracted toward the house and
she was Mortified to see it in flames.
She rushed madly to the rescue of
her children but SO rapidly did the.

Owing to high water on the railroad
tracks between Boltonville and South
Ryegate, the Green Mountain express,
running daily over the Montpelier &
Wells River road, was unable to make
the distance between WoodsvilIe, N. H.,
and this city early to-day. On its south
bound trip to Boston last night the ex-
press was held up at Montpelier, as the
trainmen and section hands were uncer-
tain as to the condition of the trackage
between the two points mentioned. Ths
morning, according to reports received ut
the local Office of the Montpelier & Wells
River road, the water had receded near
Boltonvile and large gang of men has
been assigned to the work of restoring
the track. II was thought that the serv-
ice would be resumed before nightfall.
