Will Build Up the Institution
In That Lively City
LESSONS FOR MEMBERS
Ills First Appointment of the
Kind Ever Made In
Minnesota
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
To John Lulsdorff of Mankato be-
longs the honor of being the first
man in Minnesota appointed as in
structor to a municipal fire depart
ment.
Mr.. Lulsdorff was today appointed
to this unique and important office
by Robert w. Hargardine, state fire
marshal, after conference with city
officials of Rochester, Mimi. For
several months the Rochester fire
department has been under the direc-
ton of man whom the city officials
believed efficient but inexperienced.
Mr.. Hargadine was called upon and
after consultation he was asked to
name a man expert enough in fire
department work to manage the Ro-
chester department for six months,
instruct the firemen in their duties
and bring the entire department with
its equipment up to the highest pos
sible standard of efficiency.
Also Deputy Fire Marshal
The fire marshal knew of Mr.. Luis
dorff and offered him the position, ap-
pointing him a deputy state fire
marshal so as to give him full author
ity to make recommendations for any
purposed changes in the Rochester
department.
1.-The Rochester city council will pay
all of the expenses of Mr. Lulsdorff
during his service. Mr.. Lulsdorff is
extremely well fitted for the task as
signed to him. said Mr.. Hargadine
today. "He has devoted many years
and much of his own money in bring
ing Mankato's most excellent fire de-
partment up to its present condition.
He has made an extensive study Of
fire departments and fire fighting
companies in European cities as well
as in this country, and throughout the
entire state of Minnesota / believe
there is not man with more
thorough knowledge of the needs of
an efficient fire department 1t was
for that reason that | suggested him
to the Rochester city council and Of
ficials.'
Will Advise Council.
The chief of the Rochester fire de-
partment will continue to serve as
such but Mr.. Lulsdorff will instruct
not only the chief but every individu-
al man in the department how to
handle the new equipment that Mr..
Lulsdorff will recommend that the
city council buy, how to fight fires and
all of the methods of fire prevention.
He will also advise with the city
council with reference to ordinances
covering this work, the establishment
of fire limit and building code, and
instruct some one designated in re-
gard to building an electrical inspect
ing.
The object in doing this is to re-
duce the number of fires in Rochester
and to eliminate all of the unneces-
sary waste of energy by the depart
ment in combating fires.
When Mr. Lulsdorff has completed
the arrangements outlined by the Ro-
chester city council, and Mr. Harga-
dine, the city will be the model fire
protected city of Minnesota.

The above telegram was sent today
as the outcome of a meeting of the
committee of the Commercial club
appointed to look after the welfare
of the boys of Company H, while
they are M the United States service.
The meeting was held this morning,
and the message is being sent upon
the suggestion of the committee, COM
posed of e. A. Quimby, chairman, J.
j. Flachenhar, Charles Wagon and
Thomas Foley, and Colonel Mead
Information received from what
appears to be reliable sources, and
continued reports received in Man
kato, indicates that the soldiers are
not being treated exactly as they
should be, according to the opinion
of the committee. 1t appears that the
food supply is not up to standard, and
it is impossible to draw ratiOns regu-
larly. The water supply is also re-
ported as very inadequate. The tele-
gram to Senator Nelson is hoped to
bring good results, and awaken the
country to the duty it owes the mill
tia.
Only Two Have Donated.
Ouly lWo people Ill MdHhdlo Have
so far donated toward the purchase
of cots for the boys who are sleeping
on the ground floors of their tents.
The Company H fund which was
started few weeks ago has not
been responded to, and few pennies
rafting in the little banks which
have been placed to receive contribu-
lions, do not make very loud and
congratulatory sound as to their
number. 1t appears that the people
are not fully awake to the needs of
the boys. The committee does not
feel that it ought to be obliged to go
out and canvass for money, but will
do this unless more generous re-
Spouse is made on the part of the
citizens. sf ,

FULL OF JUICY SWEETNESS

For purity, wholesomeness and de-
licious goodness, no way of using to-
bacco can equal chewing it-and no
form of chew can compare with rich,
mellow, juicy plug tobacco.
Take American Navy for example.
There's tasty tobacco for you. An
elastic, lasting chew crammed full of
juicy sweetness. A chew that holds its
savory flavor longer than any other to-
bacco.
In American Navy you get all the
qualities you like so much in "scrap"
tobacco plus the richer, mellower, juic.
ier favor that only plug can give you.
American Navy has been the favor
ite of sturdy, steady chewers for years.
You can't begin to get the same salts
faction out of any other tobacco.
Made of choice, ripe, whole leaf by
the most modern sanitary processes,
American Navy is better than many
chewing tobaccos that cost you more.
Be sure you're equipped with supply

Value of Submarine Is
Exaggerated Declaration
of Won BethmGnn HolIweg
By Associated Press

London, Sept. Z. - According to de-

dispatch to the Wireless Press, DIR. Won
Bethmann- -Holweg, the German I'M
perial chancellor upon being ques-
toned at the August meeting of the
Federal Council as to why he yielded
to the demands of the United States
regarding the unrestricted torpedoeing
of ships of the high seas, replied en-
phatically that the value of the sub
marine was exaggerated by the ad-
herents ot wholesale torpedoeing.
The chancellor said that insistence
of unrestricted submarine warfare
would cause war between Germany
and the United States and the results
of unlimited torpedoeing would not
justify such a policy
Elaborating this point the chancel-
lor is quoted as saying that Germany
could not effectively blockade Eng
land nor cut off England's food sup
plies

well covered the city, personally on
a general inspection tou~
From what I could | % the reg
istration was rather light all over the
city and I think I got round to most
of the precincts. This is not unusual,
however; as a rule, the first day S
registration is small up until noon, as
most of the first day men do not or
can not come out until late afternoon
or early evening. From 4 to o'clock
the registration is generally heavier
and then the big rush comes in the
evening hours.
'Of course, we urged every Repub-
lican to get out and register to-day.
True, there are two more days-Sep-
tember 10 and October but to my
mind the fellow who attends to this
duty the first day, has done his duty
and it's off his mind. Then, too, the
man who waits until the last day
may forget it-and if he's in town
and well, and doesn't register on the
last day because he forgets it, he's
done for so far as exercising his right
to vote at the November election is
concerned.
The registrars will sit until 6
o'clock this evening and then reopen
their books at to sit until 10 o'clock.
And it would be we'll for every Re-
publican to remember this and get
busy this evening"
Chairman Morganthaler said he,
too, had covered the greater portion
of the city, particularly the upper end
and he found that the registration was
going very we'll for the first day.
In one of the West End precincts
for instance" said he, II learned thai
up until noon thirty-five had registered
as against six on the first day last
year"
The clerks in the county commits
sioners' offices put in the usual busy
day of it answering phone Gals. hust.
