MINNESOTA EDITORS CONVENE
ARE TOLD OF PIONEER NEWS
PAPER DAYS IN STATE.
Charter Members of Association are
Honor Guests at Golden Jubilee
Meeting In Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Feb. 19.-Granville S
Pease, owner and editor of the Anoka
Union for nearly so years-"Grannie
or Dad" or Uncle" Pease to the
newspaper fraternity of Minnesota
gave his brother editors "a piece of
his mind" Mr.. Pease spoke at the
opening of the Golden Jubilee meet
ing of the Minnesota Editorial asso-
citation, in the Radisson hotel. He
waded into the brethren.
Four charter members of the asso-
citation were honor guests of the occa-
sion, the Anoka man among them. Mr.
Pease, president of the association in
1892, was introduced by ]. c. Morri-
son, president of the body, to give
some "reminiscences of pioneer news
paper days, but he didn't confine him
self to raking up the past.
Importance of Editors.
Mr.. Pease raked up the editors
there before him, arraigned them for
not recognizing their own Importance
and insisting that their communities
recognize it, denounced them for be-
ing satisfied with too little return for
thejHsetfoxt and service.
There isn't so much fun, perhaps,
in running a country newspaper to-
day." Mr.. Pease began, 'as there was
40 years ago. When l went to Anoka
first, carried in my pocket book
of railroad passes. How many Of you
fellows have seen anything of the
kind in recent years?"
Editorial Still Essential.
His hearers smiled broadly. Evil
IDENTIFY Pease was in a facetious mood.
There was merriment coming. But in
a few minutes some of them were
squirming in their seats, though all
were applauding.
Il have a grudge against lot of
you," Mr.. Pease went on. 81 have
TOO many Minnesota papers coming to
my desk without a line of editorial
matter. You ought to be ashamed of
The editorial still is an
essential to a newspaper. If you've
got the brains to write editorials, why
lon't you use them?"

last EFFORT OF FEUDAL|SM"
SERBIAN KING TELLS WHAT WAR
is ABOUT.
MAY God In His Mercy Reward AmerI-
ca" Aged Ruler ExciaIms
in Interview.

Aedepsos, Island of Euboea, via
Paris), Feb. liking Peter of Ser
bia has just received a press CORE
spondent here. Hidden away in this
almost inaccessible spot, bent under
his 70 years, disbursements and suf-
ferings, physically broken, virtually
blind, his crown gone, his native land
overrun by ancient enemies, the exiled
sovereign clings grimly to life in the
hope of participating in the ultimate
triumph of his countrymen.
Gives Blessing to America.
Il long have wanted very much
to speak from the bottom of my heart
to the great heart of America, which Is
so deeply moved over the fate of Ser
bia and which has done SO much for
our unhappy people" he said.
May God in his mercy reward your
country" he cried. Then, leaning
back in his chair, he closed his eye
lids, remaining long silent as one
dreaming.
Il know what you are thinking"
he continued finally. you are wrong.
for those of our allies who have re-
manned faithful we have no reproach.
They came to our aid too late to save
hs. They were not organized for war,
nor ruled over by soldiers. Had they
been so organized, so ruled, perhaps
they would have been able to save us.
Last War of FeudaIism.
81 do not know If it is quite under
stood in America what it is all about,
that almost the entire continent OF
Europe is at war But will tell you
in word: 1t is tho supreme, the
last effort of feudalism; a fight TO =
finish between the feudalism of yes
terday and the freedom of tomorrow. \
So that is why war had to break out
on the banks of the Danube, and not
elsewhere, for the Danube separates
by so little the most introsigeant feud-
alism, maintained by unworthy intri-
CUES like those of the smaller Italian
states in the Middle Ages, from the
most stubborn ideal OF liberty, i'm
planted in those ready TO fight to tho
last man to realize that ideal"

RUSSIAN CAUCASIAN ARMY TO
LAUNCH DRIVE AGAINST
TURKISH CAPITOL FROM

RUMANIA TO intervene
AT EARLY DATE, REPORT
Dispatches From Bucharest Assert
Capture Of Erzerum is crystaIizlna
Decision to Enter WAr@Czar's
Forces Threaten TrebIzond-
Authorities Aid Armenians.

London, Feb. 19.-"On to CONSTANT
nople" is the cry of the allied capitals
as result Of the capture of the Tur
kish Asia Minor fortress of Erzerum
by the Russians.
| The fall of the gigantic fortress
heralded by the entente powers as the
| first signal token of successful coop.
erative action among the Allies, brings
| to the front three big developments
in the allied campaign. They are:
A drive against Constantinople from
the west by the Russian Caucasian ar
my. A junction between the Russian
and the British army of Mesopotamia.
Entrance of Rumania into the war on
the side of the Allies
numania to Intervene.
The latter contingency is noted also
in dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph company from Rome.
Dispatches from Bucharest state
that the capture Of Erzerum by the
Russians is crystalizing the decision of
Rumania to intervene at an early date.
Already, according to reports in cir
culation here, the Allies international
war council is making plans to launch
a determined drive by the Russians
against the sultan's capitol from it's
west, using Erzerum as a base.
In the event of the Russians joining
forces with the British now headquar-
tered at Kut-el-Amara, it is considered
possible that the combined Russian
British armies may begin a general
sweep across Turkey in Asia from the
west. Such a move, 1t is believed
here would relieve any pressure de-
signed by the Turks against the Suez
canal or any contemplated drive on
Egypt.
Slavs Near Trebzond.
The Russian forces forming the
right wing of the grand dukes Cauca-
sus army are within 30 miles of the i'm
portant Turkish Black seaport of Ire
bizond, according to dispatches receiv-
ed here.
The ancient city of Baiburt, on the
road from Erzerum to Trebizond has
been captured, it was reported. The
Slavs are pushing on toward the Pom
tine mountains, barring their march
on Trebizond
The capture of Trebizond is expect
ed within another fortnight.
Advices from Petrograd said it is
certain that the grand
duke will send force against the
city before pressing his campaign
against the Turks to the westward.
The Russian authorizes already
have taken steps to ameliorate the
condition of the Armenians. A tribu-
nal will be established in Erzerum as
soon as possible and investigations |
Of Turkish atrocities against the Ar
nenians will be begun at once.
Wholesale executions Of Turkish |
civil officers responsible for the out
ages are predicted.
