HERE'S CHANCE TO KICK
WHEN COOKING is BAD

St. Paul, Mimi. Mar. 2O.-For
years Rep. L. A. Lydiard ate in al
legged boarding houses of Minnesota
and suffered. Then he began to
ascend the social scale and finally be-
came elected representative. One of
the first official acts was to intro
duce bill which will force cooks in
boarding houses and restaurants to
pass an examination and secure a
license. Cooks not having the Off
cial document may be prosecuted for
malpractice. Being drunk for more
than six continuous months is sutfi-
cient ground for revoking the license.
Persons having a grevience against
any cook may lay it before the board,
which has the authority to call the
alleged culinary offender before it,
and if the allegations of the boarded
are proved, the cooks license may be
revoked. :

UNION MEETING SUNDAY
Methodist Presbyterian and Baptist
Congregations Will Attend Evan
gelistic Services Tomorrow.
BIG AUDIENCES HEAR CHAPMAN
By REV. l. D. ALVORD.

by REV. L. ID. ALVORD.
Evangelist Chapman preached to
crowded house against last night
in the Baptist church. He empha-
sized the fact that no one could be-
come a Christian without repentance
and he made it very plain to every
one just what repentance means. He
said repentance didn't mean being
sorry for your sins and then keen
right on committing the same sin.
Repentance does not mean straight
ening up your life and joining the
church and then drift back into
worldly ways again, nor does it mean
that a man can become a Christian
and not try to make restitution for
his past sinful deeds. Repentance
does mean sorrow for sins and being
so sorry that you will right about
face and forsake sin and do that
which is right and try as far as pos
sible to make amends for past sinful
deeds.
Tonight Mr.. Chapman will speak
on "Christ's Boundless Compassion. -
He will tell the story of a school
teacher who won a~hundred souls TO
Christ. Sunday will be a great day.

man wants to meet large number of
men in in the Mems class as he has
something of interest to tell the men
Every man is invited to attend.

ject, "A Willing Mind" Mr.. Chap
man will speak in the evening at

Young People" The Methodist and
Presbyterian churches unite with the

Berlin, March 2O.-Scores of Ger

to combat the spotted fever plague in
camps where Russian prisoners are
concentrated, are risking their lives.
Seven German doctors are already
dead as result of the epidemic.
Fatalities were heavy at first but
have now been reduced and a strict
quarantine has been placed on the
camp. The reductions of plague
cases is the result of scientific hand

London, March 2O.-Various re-
ports which have been circulated
saying that Admiral Garden, COM
mander of the allied fleet at Darda-
'nelles, is dead or badly wounded, is
denied by the British admiralty. 1t
stated that the loss of the Ocean and
the Irresistible and the sinking
of the French cruiser Bouvet are
the only losses sustained.
Dispatches this afternoon reported
that the allied fleet has again entered
the .Dardanelles narrows and has re-
stumbled the commandments of it's for
tifications. Officials report that Ad-
miral Garden is sick and has been
succeeded by Read Admiral Dere-

New York, March 0.-Necessity
for serious land operations in coop
Grafton with the battleship lombard.
ment of the Dardanelles is now being
suggested in London The delay in
adopting this course, as we'll as the
desultory nature of the lombard
ment, indicate that the Allies have
gone into the Constantinople adven-
ture without preparing in advance
for all eventualities
1t seems apparent that the cam.
paign has been regarded from the
first as experimental and as present
ing possibilities of difficulty or sue
cess not practicable at the start
There are reasons which suggest it
has been judged necessary in Paris
and London to attempt to conquer
the Dardanelles with a minimum eff
fort. London's belief that an ex-
haustion of ammunition has caused
the bombardment to dwindle suggests
this Interpretation, so does the re-
luctance of the Allies to use a large
field force against the land de-
lenses.
Have Been Too Weak.
Several landing parties have at
tempted to secure permanent lodg-
ments on the Gallipoli peninsula and
on the Asiatic side of the strait
But they have been too weak for the
purpose. Probably, for the most
part, they were marines sent ashore
from the warships. Turkish reports
that these attachments have been
driven back to their ships are sub
Stimulated by the lack of success that
has attended the land operations.
The Turks are now making new
military concentrations to defend
the Dardanelles forts against field
operations. This must mean that
the Constantinople authorities have
received Information Of the move
ments of the enemy transports.
Athens n as heard t1rat an" army corps
is on its way to the Dardanelles
from Smyrna. If this news is true,
it probably means that Partev Pasha;
Turkeys most brilliant military
leader, is being put in charge of the
Dardanelles land operations. Pertev
Pasha has been in command of the
Syrmna military district since the
war began. He is understood to
have been held there for an emergen-
cy, such as the present, the Turkish
authorities having resisted heavy
pressure to put in command of the
Egyptian expedition.
Made Fine Troops.
Petev Pasha made the Smyrna
troops the finest in the Turkish en-
pire and, if he accompanies his corps
to the Dardanelles, the Allies will
have, to some extent at least, worthy
foemen among their Mohammedan
enemies.
How strong land force the Allies
can employ in the Dardanelles opera
lions is a difficult question. There
is need in France and Flanders for
every available man, if an attepmt
is to be made to drive the Germans
back to their own frontier Troops
sent to the Dardanelles, therefore,
must weaken the campaign in the
west. For this reason, real danger
exists that economics will be made
and too few men to subdue the Turks
will be sent to the Levant.
