WAR CORRESPONDENT
ATc|TY HALL TONIGHT
E. J. D. Larson to Give His Famous
Warologue Under Auspices of
Bemidji Elks.

e. J. D. Larson, who has visited
the European war zone, gives his
famous warologue tonight at the
city hall. The warologue will be il
Illustrated with two hundred scenes
from the warning countries, and will
be intensely interesting.
Mr.. Larson has just received word
of the death of the aviator with whom
he made an ascent near Paris. While
making a flight in the war zone, his
machine became crippled and fell,
carrying the aviator with it to his
death.
In Red Wing, where Mr.. Larson
gave his waralogue, there was large
audience present, a larger crowd, it
is said; than greeted Bryan when he
appeared there.
Mr.. Larson's lecture takes sides
with none of the participants in the
great struggle, and aims to be neut-
raj in the truest sense of the word.
The entertainment is given for the
benefit of the Elks and should draw
big house.

second time within month, the Min
nesota presidential preference pri-
mary law was on trial in the Minne-
sofa supreme court today. It's costs
was the argument against it in to-
