A Switch
There is an outbreak of serious talk these
days involving New York and Chicago IN
the next worlds series--if matters ever get
that far.
The impression is abroad In many quar-
ters that the Giants and white Sox will be
the sole survivors when the count is in.
II this happens It will bring about the
first worlds series meeting between the two
largest cltadels In the game. So far New
York and Chicago have never met in q
post-season argument as between the two
leagues.
Which reminds US that the Giants, IN
their four starts, have never met western
club. Philadelphia and Boston has fur
nished all the opposition. A New York
Chicago affair SHOULD be a gala occasion
provided there are any gala occasions to be
had in october this side Of the French

Washington, Sept. 8.-Reports and

today, that there has existed for some
time a nationwide conspiracy to

Opposition to the draft law, burn

labor disturbances and attempts to
curtail production in war industries,
reports indicate, were all part of
the same alleged conspiracy whose
prime motive was thought to be the
crippling of the governments activi-

The fall term Of the Bemidji pub

according to Superintendent w. P
Dyer record attendance except in
the high school department is ex-
pected. The instructors are fast ar
riving and the final arrangements
are being completed that the work
may start with jump, Monday.
The teaching corps will remain the
same as announced two weeks ago
with two exceptions. Miss Brennan
of the East Side school, who has re-
isgned on account of illness, will be
succeeded by some teacher yet to be
named, and Miss Josephine Parent,
who has also resigned, will be sue
ceeded by Miss Josephine Bruzek who
will teach the third grade in the Cen

secured to succeed Miss Bessie Burns

football outlook is good one. The
boys have a full set of suits which
are practically new from last year
and already have a ball and in gen.
eral things are better lined up than
at the opening of school last year.
There will be only one domestic
science instructor this year, where
as there were two last year, the rea-
son being to keep down the expenses.
Three out-of-town students have
already announced their intention of
entering the senior class this year.
School in Fifth ward will start
in the old school and Congregation

coin school will be ready for use in
six weeks, the contractors say.
The high school and seventh and
eighth grades will be in the high
school building as formerly.

For some time there have been
heard Of garden thieves at work and
latest report of Importance is from
w. w. johnson, who has two acres
of potatoes planted out beyond Grand
Forks bay.
Mr.. Johnson has worked diligently
to make. the plot producer and has
met splendid success, but several
days ago he noticed that his garden
was being tampered with and some
potatoes gone. He was of the opin-
ion that would be the last of it but
at intervals the same thing would
happen until yesterday he reported
that large quantity Of his potato
plants had been pulled out and the
potatoes taken from the hills. He
has a pretty good idea who is re-
sponsible and says that he will take
action if the practice is not stopped.

NO COMPROMISE ON
STAND OF FRANCE

Paris, Sept. 8.-France will not
compromise on the question of re-
covery of Alsace and Torrance, Pre-
mier Ribot declared in an address
delivered in connection with the ce1e-
bration of the anniversary of the bat
tie of the Marne He said France
would not consent to diplomatic dis
cussion as to whether the provinces
should be restored.
France makes pretentions only
for the recovery of it's own, to re-
gain possession of it's provinces,
wrenched from it by the odious
abuse Of FORCE" the premier said.
LET no one ask France to compro-
mise on that question. The national
could not do it without betraying the
cause of justice. What a preface
would be given to the peace which
it is sought to found upon the rights
Of peoples If the injustice consum-
mated half century ago should be
consecrated anew
"The restoration of Alsace and
Lorraine is not one Of those ques-
tions that may be given over to dis
cussion by diplomats. 1t is the very
condition of the establishment of the
rights Of nations which ought to
guarantee peace in the future against
fresh violence"
The premier added that France in
demanding reparation for devasta-
tion which it had been made deliber-
ately to suffer, would still be within
the role of champion of justice.
France does not ask that the ag-
gressor be fined" he said, "but only
that the aggressor be obliged to re-
pair the damage he has DONE"

Prize HEN TELLS
HOW 1T SEEMS
TO BE WINNER:
ENTERED AT FAIR
(By A. Gull:


Hearing that a big prize winning
hen was to be at the Beltrami county
fair, representative of the Pioneer
obtained permission from the owner
to Interview the proud possessor of
many ribbons, and the prize fowl
condescended to grant the interview.
She was looking fine, as she is to
appear at the big Beltrami county
fair and was undergoing preparation
How does it seem to be prize
winner?" she echoed, in answer -tc
a query by a Pioneer man, ,lazily
turning her head in a, sort of con
descending manner. well, I can
easily answer that by asking you
how you'd like to be shut up in a
coop and be stared at by hundreds
every day of county fair?" The
reporter felt sorry for the carefully
groomed fowl as he realized it must
be embarrassing.
"sometRitneg! "stRRitne! 81 ar9 my 9f1ffte?' 1ffe? Well, it
hasn't all been ease as you might
believe. You see, was one of many
brothers and sisters and we were all
happy in our home. It wasn't a
ouAAPSuOuo PA0CC OuL We were all TO-
gether and enjoyed being together.
We grew up pretty healthy and
strong, when one night a man slipped
into the hen house and took me
away and put me in a very dirty box
where was kept for some time.
1T so happened there was a cam
paign on and one Of the candidates
wanted to be elected. The man who
had stolen me from my home went
to this man and told him he had a
hen who could win at the county fair
poultry show and that if he would
buy me and enter me in the show l
could win and then the poultry men
would all vote for him and he would
be elected. He did so and l won and
the man was elected to office. That's
all he wanted and as he didn't care
for chickens he offered me for sale
and / was bought and here l am.
Eyes, I believe in woman suffrage
and believe in the conservation of
poultry. Hope to see you at the fair
September IL to IA. Good bye," and
the Pioneer interviewer turned and
left her ladyship arranging a feather
or two in preparation for her debut
at the fair.

FULL SUFFRAGE FOR

CRUSHED COUNTRIES
(By United Press)
(Copyright 1917


Washington, Sept. 8.-Full suf-
frage for Germany rid of Hohen-
zollerenism.
Full right for disputed territories
to speak for their own future resti-
tuition.
Restoration of those countries trod
under foot during the war.
These mean peace.
Nothing short of this can termin-
ate the war.
The United Press today obtained
a semi-official Interpretation of the
administration attitude, vouched by
the highest authorities.
The acceptance Of Germany's in
ternal reforms will not depend upon
the decision of the United States,
England or France, but must be such
as other peoples Of the world would
be justified in accepting.
This is the most important and
means that the United States be-
lievesr the allies and the rest of the
world also should sit in Judgment on
Germany's internal reforms.
Alsace Lorraine, Bosnia, Herzego-
vina and Schlweisweg Holstein
should be given the right to express
themselves on the question whether
they shall remain under the military
heel of Germanio powers or return
to their mother countries of France,
Denmark or Serbia or set up autono-
nous governments or attach them-
selves to other governments.
Bosnia Herzegovina is understood
to desire a berth in the proposed

this entrance to this is the state Of
ficial view here if they should be al
lowed to determine their own respec-
tive fates.
Anything short of this means war
