MASON TELLS OF
EUROPEAN STRUGGLE
(By J. w. T. Mason)

New York, Jan. 9.-The defeat OF
the Turkish armissin in the Caucasus
is being blamed on the German COM
manders, who insisted that a winter
campaign be undertaken against the
Russians. The Turks declared that
they protested against pushing mill
tary operations in the cold weather,
but were overruled. This explana-
ton Of the Ottoman disaster is not
satisfactory. The disadvantages of
winter warfare are equally formid-
able to all participants. The Rus
sian troops were as greatly handicap
ped by the low temperature and the
snow and it is impossible to reach any
other conclusion than that the Rus
sian Slavs have proven themselves to
be as superior to the Turks as the
Balkan Slavs did during their own
late conflict with their age-long enc
mics.
ASCopO1o1OA1ACy Ou OClulduS
The significance of the Turkish ex-
cuse is not in it's explanation of mill
tary conditions, but in the quick de-
sire to place all responsibility on Ger
man shoulders. This undoubtedly
means the German domination Of
military affairs at ConstantinOple has
not the cordial consent Of the Turks.
Theuesulmans, apparently, do not
consider themselves responsible for
the strategy of the Russian campaign
and are fighting as reluctant mercin-
aries.
1t has been pointed out in this COL
umn that Turkeys real interests were
more closely connected with an Egyp-
tian campaign in the Caucasus.
To Engage Russians.
Nevertheless, no serious military
movement has been directed in that
direction, on the contrary all avail
able men apparently have been draft
ed and sent to engage the Russians,
so that the Slav pressure against
Austria and Germany may be reliev-
ed. The MOhammadans cannot ap-
prove of fighting for Christian inter-
ests while abandoning their own in
terests in Egypt Yet, by securing
the support of few strong men in Con-
or Mt ~ r10 Id NV, INV
Germany has been able to make her
own objective paramount. The oracle
of the Ottamans seems to have been
seriously affected by the supordina-
ton to Christian requirements.
Still An Advantage.
The quick blame thrown on the
Germans for the Caucasian defeat
emphasized the fact that conditions
that apparently do prevail don't in
dictate that the Turkish army will be
of serious value in the future to the
Germans. Nevertheless, from the
standpoint of German and Austrian
interests alone and disregarding the
interests of the Turks, there is still
an important Teutonic advantage in
the situation.
The Russian armies in the eau
cusus and those that will be sent to
invade Asia Minor, if the war con-
tinues, means SO many less in the
Slavs battle line opposing the Aus
trians and Germans. The Caucasian
campaign, therefore, while a serious
defeat for Turkey, has it's compensa-
ton for Turkeys Christian allies.

Fire, which had gained consider

from the path of which ten patients

the Samaritan hospital this morning.
netting a loss of approximately $1O,-
900, of which less than half is COW
cred by insurance.
The inmates, four suffering from
serious ailments, were carried from
the building as the flames, which had
made rapid Roadway, shot through all
parts of the main building. Mrs.
Aline Smith, owner of the hospital.
was the first to discover the flames,
and so quickly did they burst through
the floor that she was forced to run
through them in saving small boy,
who had been recently operated up
on. Only two Of the hospital patients
were able to leave the building with
out assistance, while the conditions
of two others was so serious that they
were operated upon soon after being
removed to the st. Anthony hospital,
to which institution all of the sick
were taken.
Department Responds Quickly.
The fire department made quick
run to the fire after the first alarm.
but was unable to check the flames
which had spread to the old logs, the
material of which the main part of
the hospital was constructed. For a
time it was believed that the new
part, built two years ago at a cost of
$4,000, could be saved, but this was
allowed to burn to the ground after
the firemen realized that it could not
be saved, at least sufficiently for re-
pairs. -
Had No Insurance.
Mrs. Smith, who opened the hos
pital three years ago, is left without
penny of insurance, and her Sc, 900
worth of furniture and supplies is a
total loss. Until recently there had
been insurance on the property, but
for some reason it was allowed to ex-
pire. The building, which is owned
by the Bagley Loan association, was
valued at $1,000, and was insured
for about $4,000.
Extensive Improvements.
Extensive improvements had been
made by Mrs. Smith during the past
year, and large and roomy porch
had been built; the exterior redecor-
ated; the new additions succeed at a
cost of $500 and other repairs made.
Mrs. Smith feels keenly her loss.
She does not know whether she will
again start in the business.
New Truck in Service. .
The new Seagrave auto fire truck
was pressed into service for the first
time. The entire tank of chemical,
two hundred gallons, was used, and
two lines of hose were taken from the
machine. The car was operated by
Robert Browning, the Seagrave rep
resentative, and proved most salts

Played Basketball Game, Forces
. Chaska to IA to Is Contest.
DUTCH BAND" OUT TONIGHT

In one of the most sensational
games ever played here, the Chaska
professional basketball champions of
the United States narrowly escaped
defeat by the fast big Bemidg'
quint, the final score being 16 to IA
in favor of the visitors.
During the first part of the con-
test Chaska,, as the night before, ap-
peared to outclass the local boys, but
it the last period Bemidji found it.
self and by one of the most marvellous
exhibitions of basketball, counted ten
times. while the champions were held
to only one basket, this being thrown
by Thorson, the clever guard.
Bemidji never played a harder or
more accurate game. The passing of
the boys was deadly and they more
than held their own with their larger
and more experienced opponents.
Trafton and Jacobson at guards for
Bemidji are largely responsible for
the splendid showing made, for it
was the covering and field play of
these men that kept the Chaska count
at such a low total.
Peck, Bemidji center, opposed by
Won, the star of both games, was in
the game every minute and his work
is deserving of much praise, while
Brandon and Miller, Bemidji's for
wards, played wonderfully. They
followed the ball cleverly and time
after time thrilled the crowd by their
long dribbles, as did Jacobson and
Traitor. Both Miller and Brandon
featured in their fast floor work.
Shallow and Won were again the
Chaska stars, and the other members
of the team played good basketball.
Heinisch, the Chaska forward, was
held without basket by Traitor.
Chaska's playing was less rough than
that of Thursday night and the con-
test was one of the most interesting
ever witnessed here.
To hold a team such as Chaska's to
such low score is a strong endorse
ment for big Bemidg."
The dutch Band" will be out in
force tonight. The admission charge
will be IS cents, and the game prom
ises to be hummer, Bemidji being
determined to win at least one of the
three contests. -.

BRITISH JUDGE M1soU0TED'
Doubts Seem to Exist About Hol.
land BuckIey's Opinions.

The English and local kennel papers
have been giving considerable space to
a statement credited to the English
Judge Holland Buckley. who came over
to Judge a number OF breeds at the
Mineola show. that there was no ex-
hib!t at Mineola apart from the stock
recently imported from England that
would even stand an outside chance at
any Of the English shows.
This statement does not correspond
with the one made by Mr.. Buckley on
the train coming from Mineola when he
stated to a number of fanciers that the
entry Of American bred Airedale terriers
was a revelation to him and that many
of the homebreds which he saw on that
day would give a good account Of them
selves AT any English show. He further
stated that the American bred Scottish
terrier walescott Master Wullie was
one OF the best specimens that II ever
had been his privilege to see and that
he did not know OF a specimen in Eng
land that could bea Mr.. Lloyd's Amer
can bred.
