GERHARD ARTICLES
ANNOY WASHINGTON
(United Press)

Washington, June 1.-THE ad-
ministration is much disturbed over
the inflamed and sensational newspa-
per articles attacking Germany and
German officials here. It is said to
be viewed with annoyance, if not
alarm.
It is denied emphatically that DR..
Meyer Gerhard is travelling here in
any other than his right name.
Stories telling that the German en-
bassy had opened and tampered with
official mail were branded as prepos-
ferrous. 1t is said that these alarm
ing reports have been cabled to Ber-
lin and will probably cause trouble.
The Swedish, Danish and Norweg-
ian ministers have conferred with
Lansing and it has been learned that
they talked Of the torpedoing of neut-
raj ships. A joint or separate pro-
test is expected, although it was ad-
mitted that neutral ships were caught
carrying contraband of war.

PEACE SUGGESTION
REJECTED BY ALLIES

London, June 17.-Although an
official statement is impossible, it is
authoratively reported that the Allies
will reject any present talk of peace.
England is determined to continue
the war until the Germans have been
forced back upon their own soil. This
was substantiated, first, because it is
believed that Germany has reached
the peak of their offensive, and must
fight desperately to retain the hold
gained by her by getting the jump
on the Allies; second, it is the uni
versal belief that England is only
approaching the height of her Of
fensive, and, third, military men
agree that the final verdict will be
obtained only by an endurance strug-
gle and not by brilliant dashes.

To STOP ILLEGAL SALES
City Officials Take Action in Crusade
. Which is to Assist Indian Officers
in Enforcing Treaty Law.
ONE BARTENDER IS FINED $25

Bemidji officials are determine &c
that the illegal sale of intoxicants
in the city must cease and the arrest
of John Ausk indicates that the laws
of the state are to be enforced and
that institutions of the "blindpig'
variety are not to be tolerated.
Ausk, who is employed at the Lake
Shore hotel, pleaded guilty to a
charge of selling liquor, the COM
plant having been sworn out by a
Nymore woman, and was fined $25
by Judge Crowell of the municipal
court yesterday.
This is the first instance in which
the city authorities have prosecuted
a case for the illegal sale of liquor
since the saloons were ousted by ac-
ton of the government in placing
into operation the provisions of the
Indian treaty of 1855 In the fu-
ture, however, every effort will be
extended to stamp out the traffic
which has annoyed the federal Off
GERS in their attempt to enforce the
treaty.
The Lake Shore hotel is owned by
Ole Anderson, who last week claimed
a can of milk shipped to Bemidji and
in which was contained six bottles
Of whisky. Liquor has been found
in his soft drink place, formerly a
saloon, by federal officers, on several
occasions. Ausk carried bottle fill
ed with whisky in his hip pocket
from which he served patrons.

FRENCH CRITICISM
lSAIMED At J0FFRE.
Failure of General to Make Progress
Against Germans is Condemned
Not Hero Of Last Fall 5
PREVENTS ADDED CAPTURES
Many Grounds on Which He Can Be
Defended-Period Equals Any
of War. :-'..
BY J. w., T. MASON.

New York, June 17.-Criticisms oil
General Joffre are beginning to be
heard in France because of the fail.
ure of the French army to make ap,
preciable progress since the Germans
were driven back from Paris to the
Aisne. These unfayorable comments
are below the surface and are not
openly felt, as was the recent con-
demnation of Lord Kitchener in Eng.
land
But the French generalissimo is
not quite the national hero, he was
last autumn after he had saved Paris
and it is probale radical French
newspapers may begin at any time an
assaunt upon the futlity of Joffre's
nibbling policy.
Attempts Have Failed.
During the dark days of the Ger
man rush across Northern France
last summer peace party was Sec
reilly formed in Paris which urged
an agreement with Germany as the
only way of saving France. When
Joffre hurled the Germans back to the
Aisne France instantaneously recov-
cred herself and Joffre's reputation
owes much to the psychological fact
of this recovery. Since then Joffre
has done nothing positive. Every
attempt he has made to push the Ger
mans farther back has failed except
in isolated instances without bearing
on the outcome of the war.
Defense Lines Intact.
All the military virtues of the
French commander. have been Mega
tive ones. He has maintained his
defensive lines intact and has pre-
vented the German assaults from win
ming any more of the soil of France.
Objections to Joffre have been de-
veloping and will not be quieted.
There are many grounds, however,
on which Joffre can be defended.
Above all others is that the fact no
German OF English cesnmander has
been able to gain any important VIC
tory over the enemy since Joffre's
first and last successful between
Paris and the Aisne. Nor has any
French commander since the Ger
mans reached the Aisne proved him
self to possess capacities superior to
Joffre. Happily, however, there ex-
lists a testing ground for Frenchman
who may be thought capable of SUI
perseding the commander-in- chief.
Let them, in turn, be sent to Alsace,
commissioned to drive the Germans
out of the lost province. If any
French general succeeds in recover
ing Alsace for the republic the grave
responsibilities of the post of gener-
alissimo might without danger be
entrusted to him.

Heavy Fighting in Progress.

heavy FlghCMS IN frOSIeSS.
London, June 17.-FOr the firs
time in weeks there has been heavy
fighting over comparatively the ex
tensive line of the British front in
Belgium and France. A Berlin Otti-
cial communication makes note of it
and described it as an AnglO-French
movement synchronizing with the
Russian reverses in Galicia. TO win
mile of front, then lose it before a
terrific German counter attack is the
experience of the British Tuesday
near Festubert This is recorded in a
frank statement of General French.
The Germans are as frank in cOnced-
ing loss of ground near Ypres.
In the east, the Austro- German ad-
vance continues to swing forward
with the exception of section be-
tween the Dneister marshes and Eur
awna, where the Russians are hold
ing a bridge and have made some
headWay.
Won Mackensen has given himself
a fortnight to capture Lemberg, and
it seems at the rate his coordinate
forces are going forward, this time
limit will be ample if the Russians
are unable to initiate stiffer resist
ance than they are showing now.
T:l41.
The latest Zeppelin raid in England
created hardly a ripple OF excite
ment. An official statement regard
ing it said:
"Further inquiries show the casu-
alties in connection with the raid of
Zeppelins on the north coast Tuesday
night amounted to l6 killed and 40
injured
"It is now possible to state more
exact the casualties resulting from
the air raid on another portion Of
the north coast on the night of June
6. The number Of deaths are "a and
40 injured seriously.
"The principal fires were in the
drapery establishments, lumber yard,
terrace and small houses"
Great Mass of Men.
A Petrograd dispatch says Russian
military critics estimate the total
Austro-German forces operating
against the Russians is not less than
2,SOO,OOO men, 1t is estimated that
about 100000 are operating on the
Lubaczowka-W Wiszinia front in Gal
icia in addition to the Austrian
troops, while it is believed the Ger
mans have $4,000 in the Baltic
provinces.
