Official cables state that Vatican
circles throw out the suggestion OF
an understanding, at least between
England and Italy, that no peace
proposals emanating from the Vati-
can shall be seriously considered and
that when peace negotiations begin
the church is not to be admitted in
to the pourparlers. These hints go
so far as to say that Italy's entrance
into the war hinged upon acceptance
of this condition, two years ago. 1t
is added that this has never been de-
MED by the allied powers.
Germany, however, is expected to
initiate another peace move this win

vague outlines of terms set afloat first
in Washington three weeks ago and
now seeping through the British cen
sor.
Diplomats here who are in init
mate touch with the international
situation say there is positive knowl-
edge that Germany will move again
to end the war before 1918.

Bemidji sent away her first quota
OF the Beltrami county draft to the
national army this morning. Bel
trami county sent SO of her young
men to Fort Dodge, Des Moines,
Iowa, where they will be moulded
into soldiers. Bemidji was at the
depot when the squad left in. charge
Of John NJ, Herbert, designated by
Sheriff johnson, and there was little
splurge incident to the boarding of
the train for the cantOnment
1t was different than a uniformed
company Of a national guard, famfl-
lar to all. 1t was a contingent of
young men drawn from various
walks Of life, many of whom had
not the slightest idea of military
service. In six months, from q mot
ley group they will be hard trained,
alert and efficient soldiers ready for
finishing in modern methods of war
fare. 1t was the call of the govern
ment to its people and they were
responding for instruction that they
might battle for the Stars and Stripes
as finished fighters.
The train left the M. & 1. depot
at 8:15, two coaches being set aside
for the boys. The depot was tho
apex of long patriotic streamers and
with bunting festooned across it's
face. A large crowd was there at
an early hour and as the time for
departure neared the crowd had in
creased to large proportions with
autos banked at the curbs far up
Beltrami avenue.
There was a halt at the depot and
a general shaking of hands and be-
fore the men boarded the coaches.
AS the train pulled out there was
waving Of hands, hats and hand
kerchiefs, and few scattering
cheers, was all that punctured
deep silence with the band playing
the national anthem The crowd
stood as though stunned, it dawning
upon them at the finale the deep
significance Of the occasion.
AS the train was waiting Morris
Kaplan placed aboard the coaches
carrying the boys three large boxes
Of peaches, one case Of plums and six
large baskets of grapes.
Yesterdays Demonstration.
The demonstration yesterday was
the greatest in the history of Be-
midi in many ways. The parade
was fully mile long and at Library
park, where the speaking was held,
conservative estimate of several
placed the crowd at 5000, said to
have been the largest gathering ever
in Bemidji
The Home Guard did not take part
in the parade owing to misunder-
standing Of part of the committee on
arrangements. Captain Swinson was
ready and anxious and so were his
men to participate and fully expected
to be a big factor in the line.
Thanks to -Bemidii.
Supper was served the drafted men
at the Presbyterian church by the
Red Cross. On behalf of the Red
Cross ladies, G. W. Harnwell, presi-
dent of the Commercial club, pre-
sented to each soldier housewife"
a compact roll of flannel containing
an assortment of needles, pins, ETC.,
handy for the men at any time. In
response, Roy Wheelock on behalf Of
his comrades heartily expressed their
appreciation of what Bemidji had
done for them. About 80 were
served.
The evening was spent as the men
desired.
