BELL TO
A PASTIME
/. IN BUSH
Accepts Proposition at Hib-
B bing-Plans to Leave
Fargo Next Week.

Ralph Bell, pitcher on the Fargo
Moorhead club the past two years,
has broken from the Northern league
and organized baseball, yesterday ac-
cepting an offer to play with the fast
semi-pro team at Hibbing, MINI. He
was told to report any time after
April 3, and plans to leave Fargo late
next week.
Bell gets years contract on a cler-
zeal position paying 1925 per month,
and a second salary, amount not stat
ed, for playing ball.
~Hibbing plans to have one Of the
strongest teams in years the coming
season. There is considerable rivalry
among the cities on the Iron Range,
all of which are loading up with the
best talent available.
BELLS decision to jump puts at rest
any speculation as to whether he
would accept the position as manager
at Warren, or go to the Des Moines
club in the Western league in compli
ar1ce with a saIe-trade recently effect
ed by the Fargo oorhead club.

What FRANCE
OUT ABOUT
WAR MUNITIONS
(By Associated Press.l

Paris, March Silt was not until
the battle of the Marine was at
its height when war munitions were
running low that the French govern
ment realized the imperious need of an
intense production of war material. ac-
cording to statements made by Albert
Thomas, minister of munitions, in the
chamber of deputies. M. Thomas was
speaking in reply to. criticisms Of the
conditions under which" war material
had been supplied to the French army.
From his assertions = appears that
the French war department had estl-
mated before the war that 1t would
be necessary for state arsenals to-pro-
duce not more than $4,000 shells a day.
In the belief that the conflict would
be short, no provision whatever was
made for the production of explosives
during the hostilities.
When 1t was discovered, during the
battle of the Marine, that this estimate
was insufficient, Alexandra Millerand
then. minister OF war, summonde to
Bordeaux the heads of all manufacture
ing establishments available and or
ganized them into groups for the rapid
production of 3-inch shells.
Neither the government nor the man
ufaeturers had then ;S1y, basis for fig
uring the costs. The exceptional con-
ditions and the great need of imme-
diately replenishing the supply, M.
Thomas said, accounted for the abnor-
NAL, prices and for the fabulous profits
reaped by the manufacturers. Three
inch shells at that time cost the gov
eminent fifteen francs each. Today
they are purchased at prices ranging
from six francs and fifty centimes to
seven francs and fifty centimes.
The French war department has
| placed $4,000 contracts for artillery,
projectiles and explosives since Sep
TENDER. 1914, M. Thomas said. All
munitions producing plants in France,
he added, have been under the control
of the state from the beginning. Re-
plying to deputies who demanded that
all industries able to contribute to the
national defense should. be requisition-
ed by the government, NJ. Thomas de-
clared that this would cause, disor-
ganization. He accepted a proposal for
a regime under which the state would
exercise, control and share, In the
profits of these industries.
The government has established ten
new gun foundries since September,
1914, and has enlarged eighteen others,
it developed in the debate.

she had in small war airplane over
the city of Paris among a fleet OF all
kinds of flying machines. She speaks
with delight Of the great number Of
trained young men who were standing
in line awaiting orders to go up. Fly

they go up gladly and cut the Queerest

Appeared to Napoleon.

An apparition called the Red Man
has been connected with the rulers OF
France for ages. This Red Man IS
said to have appeared always before
any great calamity to France, and be-
fore the death of the kings. 1t is
historical fact that the appar1tion VS.
tied Henry w. on the night before he
was assassinated, and appeared TO
Lollis XVI. Immediately prior to the
outbreak of the French revolution, also
to certain members of the Imperial
family before the Franco-Prussian
war.
Just before he was murdered Presi-
dent Carnot saw the Red Man and took
Ift as q warning of disaster or death,
and. though every precaution was
taken, he was unable to avert the
tragedy.
Napoleon saws the apparition several
times, and appears to have been quite
intimate with it.. The best known in
stance occurred January L. 1914. Three
months later the emperor abdicated.
Count Montholon relates that Ma
poleon, when on his deathbed. told him
that he had been warned OF his APP
preaching end by this same strange
being.
