ASK GERMAN PEACE TERMS
Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minister
Makes Request of MichaeIis.

London.-The Deutsche Tages
Zeitung of Berlin. as quoted in an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Amsterdam, says that County Ger
min. Austro-Hungarian foreign min
lister, recently requested the German
chancellor. DR.. Michaelis. to state
Germany's peace terms. urging that
Germany make concessions in the
west. Count Czernin received a
vague reply. whereupon he stated
that he could no longer negotiate
with DR.. Michae}is, inasmuch as the
chancellor made vague statements
when clearness and frankness were
imperatively necessary.
These statements OF the Tages
Zeitung are rot denied. the dispatch
adds, and have caused a great SEN
sation, being particularly illustra-
tive Of the fervent desire for peace
on the part of Austria.

wATA.HARI AND MISS CAvELL.

The pro-Germans will say, of
course, that whom Miss Edith Cavell
was shot in Belrium the Entente and
the friends of the Entente cried out
that it was murder, and that the ex-
Mata-Hariin Paris calls forth from
them no protest, evokes no cry of
"ifur1or"
The two cases were wholly differ
ent. Miss Cavell was an English
woman engaged in nursing in Bel
GUM. She was frankly an English
woman. ard openly a sympathizer
with the Belgians. She was not a
spy, and was not charged with being
4 spy. She was charged with aiding
Belgian and British soldiers to es-
cape from the German invaders in
Belgium to neutral or enemy (from
Che German standpoint) countries.
SIch refugees might, of course. re-
turn 30 enemy armies and fight
against Germany. Her conduct was,
therefore. highly Objectionable to the
German Government. but it did not
constitute a capital offense. Miss Ca
veil, a mere sympathizer. was the
Antithesis OF the adventures who Sc

Mata Hari-"Eye of the Morning"

painting a contrast between the

brutality in Belgium and the perhaps
scarlet career of Mata-Hari and read

Blistered hands and sore muscles
were in vogue in Bemidji today
the day after Jefferson Highway day
and several citizens of the city
oversight as the result OF their days
labor in the road improvement game
yesterday.
The day was ideal for the work
and fully $50 men and scores Of
teams, wagons, plows, graders and
other implements of road work were
in service. And the way the city
chaps took to the work was a re-
velation.
Not only were the townsmen out
but practically every farmer along
the route of the highway between
Bemidji and Solway and everyone
worked hard on making the high
way passable and in putting it in
good condition.
Another Dav Needed.
There were many who were un-
able to get leave from their daily
task to take part in the work and
there is yet much to be done on the
highway. This being so, it is pro-
posed to have another day for those
unable to be out yesterday and an
other days work like that of yes
terday will put the stretch of high
way in first class condition.
1t was a great day all around and
thoroughly enjoyed by every one who
participated.

LYCAN REFUTES
HAzEN'S REFERENCE
TOBRIDGE CONTRACT
Bemidji, Minn.,
May 2, 1917.

Bemidji Pioneer, City.
Gentlemen: I noticed in last eve
ning's paper q quotation from a re-
mark made by Alderman Hazen to
the effect that the contract for the
new concrete bridge across the Mis-
sissippi was made in thirty minutes
at the Hotel Markham. AS a former
member Of the city council, I want
to say that this statement is abso-
lutely false In every particular.
The contract for the bridge was
let at the city council rooms and
was thoroughly advertised through
various trade or contractors jour-
mails. The letting Of the contract
was fully discussed at the council
meeting at the time the bids were
opened. Every member of the coun-
Gil was given an opportunity to ex-
press his opinion as to his choice OF
bridge (whether iron or concrete)
and every member present voted
"aye'' in favor of the concrete bridge
The attempt made by a member of
the present council to cast any slur
or insinuation upon the motions of
the old council in the letting Of the
bridge contract is wholly unwarrant-
ed and will be resented.
While I am on the subject want
to say that I voted for a concrete
bridge across the Mississippi because
believed it to be the PROPER kind
of a bridge to build for city needs,
especially where there is unusually
heavy traffic as in the case of this
bridge. I got my information from
several engineers with whom I talk
oI iv,o1n1iro nifv oinnpr ond
every one of these people advocated
a cement bridge.
The price of an iron bridge, as
remember, was approximately $lG.-
900 and that of the concrete about
$4,000. 1 believed and still believe,
that the concrete bridge will be the
| cheapest and most satisfactory to the
taxpayers in the long run, as the up
/! keep of the concrete bridge will be
practically nothing, while all iron
bridges are source Of expense, re-
pairs, replanking, etc. The cost Of
approach to either bridge will be
hte same, as the government re-
quires the bridge to be elevated a
certain distance above the river bed.
want to say further that l am
firm in the belief that the city has a
good bargain in the contract for this
bridge-this is indicated by the fact
that the contractors have dilly-dal-
lied with the work and have tried
to change the plans and specifica-
tions of the original contract repeat
edly, looking to reduction in cost and
have even asked to have the plans
changed to iron construction.
Yours truly.
