Havana, March 12.-By nightfall,
Gerard will be devoutly rejoicing in
treading United States soil again. The
5000 miles from Berlin to the
United States has been, filled with
apprehension. He will report to
President Wilson Immediately after
his arrival. Until then he will main
tain, silence. The only expression he
has given is that he didn't know of
the Mexican plot until told by WIRE
less.
Those on board his vessel knew
months ago that he had warned the
United States about German intrigue
in Mexico.
Members of his party on the vessel
stated the food situation in Germany
serious, metals short, pewter tops
from beer stems and pipes from
church organs being used for making

T0LDNAVY GUNNERS

ABOARD AMERICAN
VESSELS IN "Z0NE'
(By United Press)

10Y OuCcu 1IcSSJ
Washington. March 12.-The state
department today informed all for.
eign diplomats for their information
that hereafter an armed guard for
the protection of vessels and the lives
of persons aboard will be placed up
on all American merchant ships sail
ing through Germany's "barred
area"
The information state sthat the
armed guard will be an American
naval gunner.
It is also intended to arm NUM-
tion carriers and passenger liners.
The presence of naval gunners
aboard will not give teh ships the
status of war vessels, the department
holds, regardless as to whether secret
orders are issued to gunners.
The navy department still refuses
any information as to its action. It
is known that an American inventive
genius has been called up to aid in
protecting American vessels.

Man Arretsed in Depot Gives SIS
Cash Bond for Appearance;
Fails to Show Up.

Ninety dollars was the grist
ground out this morning by Munic-
1pal Judge Gibbons, $75 of which was
extracted from Mrs. Roy Wells, Miss
Margaret Fisher and Al Cowan, the
trio arrested one night last week by
Chief of Police Ripple in a raid on
the house occupied by the party in
the Fifth ward. The charge was dis
orderly conduct.
The Wells woman came here about
a month ago from Kansas City and
the next day after she located ran
afoul of Indian agents in a booze
case and was released on bond for
appearance. Neighbors complained
of the habitat of the party and the
'''pulling" of the place followed.
They were arraigned after their ar
rest and the case continued until
today, the accused being released in
cash bonds of $25 each for the
women and SIS for the man.
., Maximum Penalty.
This morning Judge Gibbons fined
each of the three $25, the maximum
penalty and got the coin, total
Of SIS. .~
Then John Knutsen came to bat.
He was arrested about 1880 o'clock
Saturday night by Chief Ripple at
the Union depot, John being drunk
and a. trifle too attentive to the la
dies in the depot, 50 it was alleged.
He gave a cash bond of SIS for his
release yesterday for appearance in
court this morning.
Knutsen'S Bond is Forfeited.
His case was called three times
but Knutsen failed to answer and his
SIS bond was forfeited, placed with
the first SIS, and turned over to
Court Clerk Fenton, who tucked 1t
away as nonchalantly as guy who
had just sold a bushel Of potatoes
and got the money.
After the hearing Of the Wells
Fisher-Cowan trio, Judge Gibbons
casually suggested that the bunch
get out Of Bemidji.

At the meeting of the Minnesota
optometrists at Minneapolis, at
which Bemidji was represented by
Dr.. E. w. Larson of Larson & Lar
xoa, q paper was read by Albert
Myer. secretary of the American Op-
tioal association, the paper being an
address to parents and teachers, and
coming as it did from . high auth
ority it will be found of much in
terest and benefit. It was as fol-
lows:
Having been asked to address To-
cal Teachers and Parents association
It seemed worth while afterward to
piece the notes together, outline
the plan Of illustration of eye defects,
etc, and make copies for the aid of
other optometrists who might be
similarly called upon.
Those who contemplate taking up
stereoptican eye lecture work will
do we'll to correspond with President
Alexander and R. C. Augustine, who
are pioneers in this line.

with this subject the more freely

more often you tell others about your

1t is to this subject that you, as
teachers and parents, must seriously
address yourselves in preparing your

battles of actual war or the no less
strenuous pursuits of peace

Two illustrations of the reason
ableness of this attitude, one mega

to me. Both are decidedly convinc-

the second, totally different, the
mortality record in New York City,
which, despite the fact that it was
ravaged last summer by fnfantfle
paralysis, actually showed a lower
death rate than in former years when
no epidemic prevailed, simply because
the people were scared into q better
observance of health laws.

Strategy Used to Keep People From
Spelling the Eject.
Street crowds are VIGOROUSLY difii-
cult to hAndie for the movies. They
will never do what you want, and even
when you are sneaking them there b
always some smart Aleck in the fore
ground who insists upon looking into
the camera and cracking his foolish
face.
On one occasion Donlon wished to
get close up picture Of crowd look
ing skyward. Ii was to be used a.
cut-in for an aeroplane story. To hire
lot of extras might have cost a cou-
Pile Of thousand dollars. SO he took
chance Of getting what he wanted with
out paying for 1t. Knowing the psy-
chology Of crowds, Donlon took three.
cameras downtown, where he set one
on the sidewalk for the purpose Of tax
ing q closeup profile Of the crowd he
was to assemble, one In second story
window, shooting straight into the poo
pies faces, and one on top Of the build
ing, also shooting down.
When all was ready Donlon stood In
the middle Of the street with a mega
phone and began to call directions to
one Ben, who stood on top Of the build
ing. The crowd assembled immediate
Iy and, seeing the cameras, began, as
usual, to rubber right into them. Then
Donlon called out:
"Is Ben ready to jump
