SENT AGAINST TURKEY
Attempt to Torpedo British Transport
Shows England Sending SOL
diers to Levant.
PLANS OF FRENCH ARE CHANGED
BY J. w. T. MASON

New York, April 2O-The ATTEMPT
of Turkish torpedo boat to sink
British transport off Chios has
brought forth the first official an
nouncement that British troops are
being sent to the Levant for opera
tions against Turkey. There have
been rumors to this effect and coun-
ter-rumOrs, but the only definitely
known fact, has been thatsthe French
embarked troops for Turkey month
ago, and then diverted them to Egypt.
This change of plans by the
French authorities was not due to
any necessity for reinforcing the
British army in Egypt. A conven-
lent place was desired, according to
Paris report, to rest the troops,
pending the commencement of land
campaign against Turkey. Why so
long an interval has occurred be-
tween the arrival of the French and
British troops in the Near East is one
of the mysteries of the war. It is
apparent that plans were changed at
ter the French contingent had en-
barked for Turkey, but the reason
for this is secret of the war Office
and admiralties at Paris and London.

Bill Passed Late Yesterday Afternoon
by Vote Of n to 15Up in
Senate Tomorrow.
o'NE1LL oPPosEsAPpRoPR1ATIon
Supporters Of Measure Confident That
It Will Pass Upper House But tx
pect That Sum Will Be Reduced.

That Bemidji will be voted an ap-
preparation of at least $4,000 for
the building of the Sixth Normal
school now seems certain, the lower
house of the legislature late yester-
day afternoon having passed a bill
allowing $4,000 for that purpose,
the vote being II for to Is against.
= The bill will now go to the senate
and house conference committee and
will be considered by the senate to-
morrow. It is expected that the con-
mittee will reduce the amount of
the appropriation to $4,000, it be-
ing generally understood that the
$4,000 bill could not pass the SEN
ate. At this figure it is certain the
appropriation will be granted.
Nord is Confident. ...
"There was never anything more
certain in my mind than that the
bill will pass the senate" said Sena-
tor L. H. Nord, of this district, to-
day. The money will be available in

Senator Nord and Senator O'Neill
clashed on the floor of the senate yes
terday afternoon when. it became
known that the Thief River Falls
legislator was urging the defeat of
the bill. Senator Nord called"
O'Neill, accusing him of violating his
pledge made some time ago when he
promised that he would not actively
oppose the appropriation. It is
O'Neills opposition that is largely
responsible for the necessity. of the
reducing of the amount passed by
the house. Thief River Falls was
Bemidji's opponent in the race for
the normal school and this fact ex-
plains the attitude of it's senator.

AS DR.. E. w. Johnson. the well
known Bemidji physician, was re-

ton and found that he had been
stopped by an agent of the govern
ment Indian department who had ex-
pected to trap a party wanted for

doctor and requested that the mistake
be overlooked. The doctor was &C
companied by r. E. Feir, assistant
cashier at the Security state bank.
The man wanted was not located.

only one which the Indian agents
have taken part in during the last
two days. Monday morning William

interests OF Maj Childs He is de
scribed as having been influential in
bringing Postmaster-General Burleson
and the department to look fayorably
upon the candidacy OF Maj. Childs.
Indeed, Mr. Gibson was in Washing
ton for consultation about the matter
before the nomination was decided
upon.
The Brattleboro case promises to
be a new test as to who is who in
democratic politics of the Green
Mountain state. The Vermont sena-
tors, Page and Dillingham;, are not
likely to take any part in the quarrel.
As republicans they prefer TO stand
far aloof when home democrats maui
one another
There is some doubt whether State
Chairman Kennedy will get far with
his protest because of this attitude OF
the Vermont senators.
Postmaster General Burleson has
very decided opinions about the Green
Mountain state democrats and federal
patronage He has been through a
trying series of quarrels over post
masters in that state, and has given
much of his time trying to compose
local Vermont differences over post
masters.
Chairman Kennedy came into favor
at the department not long ago, and
was recognized as referee for the
state.
This, however, does not bind the
postmaster general to follow Ken
nedy's Endorsement in every instance
and unless there are other strong rea-
confirmation to Maj. Childs on the
score of Kennedy's opposition.
