Washington, Feb. 2.-Removal of the crews of the German auxiliary cruisers Kron Prinz Wilhelm and the Prinz Eitel Friedrich was ordered by the commandant of the Philadelphia navy yard on instructions from Sec retary of the Navy Daniels to take whatever steps he deemed necessary to safeguard the interned ships under the existing situation.
 Having voluntarily submitted to in- terne themselves in i've custody of the United States government, sub. ject to any disposition of the ships and crews the government sees fit to make, the actios of the commandant is justified.
 The Kron Princessen Cecelie at Boston and the prize steamship A2- pam at Newport News. taken over by United tSates marshals, already were in the custody of the government awaiting the outcome of litigation. The men of the ships merely had been permitted to live aboard the vessels and remain in physical possession, under bond given by the German gov ernment.
 There is no intention to seize Ge:- man merchant ships now laid up in American ports, it is said. as matters now stand, as such course would be an act of war of which the govern ment has no idea in connection with the present situation.

Archie Ditty wants his many
friends to know that he is appreci-

election and has asked the
Pioneer to express his sentiments.
The campaign conducted by Mr..
Ditty for the office of city assessor
was one of the least conspicuous on
his part Of any Of the major Offices
in the election. He had never be-
fore participated in politics and laid
no claims to being a professional
in the game, but he went to the
voters and told them frankly that
he was a candidate for office and
assured them his best efforts If elect
ed to give everybody square deal
to the best Of his ability. And that's
all anyone expects.

ABOUT JEWETTS FORD

"Chad" Jewett, Ford enthusiast,
has brought fame to Bemidji from
far of Texas, judging from a post
card he received yesterday from a
small town in the Lone Star state.
Everybody in Bemidji and in many

mystery car" that had the so-called
crack racing cars looking like a
plugged half dollar at the Twin City
Speedway, Memorial day, in the speed
races, the Bemidji streak turning out
to be Ford in disguise.
Letters afterward poured in upon
Mr.. Jewett asking about what had
happened to that Ford Of his and the
card received yesterday contained
long list of technical questions which,
when boiled down, asked "How did
you do it?"
