German offensive is broken and that
the defensive soon will be. Prime
Minister Rene Viviani, in an inter-
view granted me, declared German

told me that Germany's submarine

alone to receive it, but is filter now

Any Frenchman, or Frenchwoman
will tell you it is only a question OF

France has astonished the world by
her staying qualities, by her unani-

deeds during the first year of the
war:
She has accomplished her own
solidarity.
She frustrated Germany's original
plan of campaign.
She won the victory of the Marne,
saving Paris.

She defeated the German attempt
to take Dunkirk, Calais, ''ou!ogne
and other English Channel ports.
She forced the Germans to accept
either retirement from France and
Belgium or a winter campaign in
trenches.
She completed the reorganization
of her army, under way when war
caught her.
She made an army of individuals,
temperamentalists and thinkers in

two-to-one more efficient than at the

She banished the ghost of 1870.
She learned to fight as the other

There are men in Bemidji who

In the recent action of the De-

bureau of Indian affairs, in closing
up the saloons of Grand Rapids, there
comes to light a queer situation in
the management of the various de-
partments at Washington. The rev.

There seems to be no excuse for this
and in fact it is open to severe criti-
cism and has been severely criticised
in many quarters now and before
this. Ignorance of one department
as to the acts of another department
is no valid excuse, any more for the
government than is ignorance of the
law an excuse for criminals.
So far as the revenue department
is concerned the saloons in Grand
Rapids, with their crisp and freshly
engraved licenses for another period
tackled on their walls, are duly au-
thorized by law to continue business
under those licenses. But here
comes along an Indian agent who
notifies them to close their places
within a week, under penalty of
law.

Great Britain has advanced a com. mercial reason for seizing and confs. eating the meats consigned by the Chicago packers to Scandinavian ports. It is that if American meats are permitted to find a market in German cities, where the prices of meat are high, they will not be ship ped to British ports where the prices are low, and as a result the prices in England will be forced upward, to the detriment of the British consumers.
 Another reason given for seizing the Chicago shipments was that the fat becon, besides being of value for army ration, was in much demand in Germany as being the raw material of glycerine, which is the most im- portant constituent of explosives. Who would have thought of it?

 Today, however, producers of the IS.

Purdue won it's first conference game

quarter and did spectacular work.
Iowa's back field smashed the Purdue

Pitted against Alexander in the first
game was Shore, pitcher finishing his
first full season in the majors. While
trifie more unsteady in the box, it was
Shore who had the terrific speed. Five
hits were made off the tall Boston
hurler, and every one Of them was a
scratch, four of them being infield
taps, which the slow ground turned into
Lacquer just out of HoblitZelis reach.
Boston made eight clean hits. had men
on bases in practically every inning,
and was always dangerous. In the

his greatness, for when hit was need

for a greater effort. perhaps IL was pc
cause ] had read SO much about the
Philly star, and had formed too high an
opinion.
Since the close of the series I have
often wondered IL Alexander didn't
suffer, as a result of the many compi-
mentary things written about him. Ex-
perts all insisted he was the hope
of the Phillies. The burden Of
winning was always put up to him.
Many critics figured that he must win
three games to make Phiiadelphia's
chances certain. Never in the history
of base balls classic has any pitcher
gone into a big series with so much de-
pending upon his showing Certain
prior to the start of the series no one
looked for such a performance. With
Alexander II was entirely different, Tor
before the start that was the huge task
that confronted him. II. doesn't matter
how mucn nerve a player has he is
bound to be affected by such existing
conditions.
Picked Aleck to Win.
Candidly, I did not expect the Boston
~Iub to take the liberties II did with
