BEMIOJI FOR RECORD:
CREDIT FOR RECRUITS

Bemidji has reason to be proud
of herself. She has every reason to
be proud of her boys who have an
swered the call Of the colors. Major
J. D. 'Yost, head of northern Mime
sofa and Wisconsin recruiting dis
trict, is proud of Bemidii and proud
Of her boys. He doesn't hesitate to
say SO.
In telegram to E. H. Denu, chair
man of the special recruiting COM
mittee, he says:
II congratulate Bemidji, your
board and Foucault. Your rec
ord is the best in the district.
The district board will instruct
your local board that volunteer
enlistments will be credited on
your next quota"
Major Yost is soon to transfer his
Headquarters to the Twin Cities and
from there will direct the work. Re-
cruits will be sent direct to him
from the district and not go to Du-
luth for relaying. This will not
mean that the recruiting office at
Duluth will be erased for it will be-
come a sub-district station. with two
officers in charge.

M'D0NALD MUCH ALIVE;
HOPES TO BE HOME
TO SPEND CHRISTMAS

"A few days ago wild-eyed re-
port became current in Bemidji that
Ensign William Mcdonald of the
Fifth Minnesota naval division, Be-
midi, had been drowned at sea and
busy tongues lost no time in spread
ing the report. The parents OF the
naval officer had received no word
of any such happening and would
have been the first in such event.
Today telegram was received by
Mrs. Mcdonald from her son as fol-
lows:
Mrs. J. A. Mcdonald,
Bemidji, Mimi.
New York, Dec. 5.-Arrived
in New York today and have no
definite address, but will wire
tomorrow. am trying to come
home. Expect to make it by
Christmas. Hope you are all
we'll. May go south from here
but am not sure. Am also writ
ing.
"BILL"
Mr.. Mcdonald has been assigned to
an important position in the trans
port service and is on one of the
transports. A letter received two or
three days ago was written in Eng
land by Mr.. 4LcDonald and he was
supposed to be on the sea enroute
home at the time the letter arrived
in Bemidji.
The false report, spread in Be-
midi, naturally caused great anx-
iety on the part of the parents.

Amherst, Nova Scotia, Dec. g.
Scores are dead in Halifax, hundreds
of buildings are destroyed and Sec
tons of the city are in flames as the
result of the collision of an American
munitions steamer and another ves-
sci in the Narrows, near the su.
burbs Of Richmond, this morning.
Both vessels were blown to pieces,
the crews of both were killed and
warehouses along the waterfront
were demolished.
Firemen were called from Am
herst and an estimate Of the number
! of persons killed is impossible. :
Cars Blown Off Track.
The force of the explosion blew
freipht cars from their tracks and
nartlv DESTROYED all buildings from
the Queen hotel on Hollis street to
the North Street Station and smash
cd the station roof to nieces. It is
believed scores are buried in the blaz.
ing debris.
Communication with Halifax is
very irregular and efforts are being
made to get better information.
Loss is Appalling.
General indications are that the
loss of life and property is appalling.
Richmond, where the explosion oc.
Cured, is directly across the bay
from Halifax. Reports say the other
ship rammed the American munition
carrier broadside.

LAST DAY OF THE BAZAAR

Today is the last day of the ba-

attending the ~suppers and the sale
of fancy articles, during the first
and second day was large. The pas
tor and ladies in charge expect a
still larger attendance at the chicken
supper and sale this evening, as they
desire to dispose of every hand made

the country store, as usual, prove
to be the drawing cards for the chill

FATE HALTS PATRIOT
IN CAMP TRAINING
(By United PreSs)

Sioux City, Ia, Dec. 6.-lntent up
on doing his bit, Frank M. Scott
refused to enter a claim for exemp-
tion from draft, when invited to do
so by the local board.
Today he is applying for exemp-
ton, although he has been certified
and is serving at Camp Dodge. Two
reasons are assigned. His father
was gored to death by bull few
days ago, and Frank is needed to
support the family. In addition, he
sustained a broken arm recently and
his efficiency as Hun hunter is thus
lowered.
