Bemidji Father Hears From :
Two Sons Across the Sea

Henry White, who lives three
miles north of Bemidji, has received
letter from his son, A. H. White,
who is now in England. The letter
was written from Whitley Camp Sur
sey, July Is, 1917. The letter says
in part:
"Just few lines to let you know
we are we'll. l have neglected writ
ing for the past week or more on ac-
count of being somewhat busy. l
am taking on a new job and find
quite a little work connected with
it. Am scout sergeant Of 146th bat
talon from Ontario, and am getting
along fine. Our scout section made
quite a name for itself. Six Of us
were held as brigade scouts and since
then two of us have received SER
geants stripes. Don't know how long
it will last, though. If the battalion
goes over as a unit I will hold it, but
if it is split up for drafts, will like
ly go back to the brigade as private.
Private is good enough, anyhow, less

Red Cross Chapter Shows
Shortage;tiard Work Being
Done to Further Success

At the business meeting of the To-
cal Red Cross association held in the
library yesterday afternoon, reports
showed that there is still on hand
sufficient material for two weeks
work at the present rate Of consump-
tion. The purchasing committee has
expended S5S1.41 for materials and
there are unpaid bills to the amount
of $132.1O. A motion was made and
carried that these bills be paid just
as soon as the amount could be
raised.
The finance committee assured the
chairman that the prospects were
good for raising more than the re-
quired amount this week.
Plans Under Wav.
There are two plans under way
for accomplishing this end: First,
the Red Cross share of the picture
"Womanhood" which appears at the
Elko Thursday and Friday, and also
the use of all concessions at the
county fair.
1t was further ascertained that
by making petition in due form to
headquarters at Washington, 25 per
cent of the war fund raised during
Red Cross Week could be retained
for local use. This would give fund

This is an exceptionally busy
week in Red Cross circles. Every
effort is being put forth to make a
big success of the various conces-
sions at the county fair. The Red
Cross will have charge of all the
lemonade stands, lunch counters,
pop corn and candy. Forces are be-
ing marshalled to care for every need
of a hungry crowd. With good
weather and the assistance of a pat
riotic public, this should give quite
boost to the sadly depleted treas
ury of the local Red Cross associa-
tion.
Red Cross Benefit.
"Womanhood," the Red Cross pic
ture, is to appear at the Elko Thurs
day and Friday and portion of the
gross receipts goes to the Red Cross
fund. To make this amount as large
as possible, canvass of the entire
city will be made today and tomor-
row, that every one may have an op-
portunity to purchase tickets. When

the house be ready to edo your bit. -
The picture comes highly recon-
mended, as second only to the ia
nous Birth of Nation it is

SOCIALISTS ARE URGED

New York. Sept. 11.-All social
lists in the United States, organized
and unOrganiZcd, were urged to
put all their energy, strength, ar
dor and enthusiasm at the disposal
of the government SO that the war
may be carried to rapid and VIC
torious conclusion" in a statement
issued by socialist delegates to the
Minneapolis conference of the Ameri-

said, that the war in which the
United States is now engaged is as
just war as was ever waged by q
liberty loving people against ruth

the progress of the worlds workers

indissolubly bound up with the cause
Of the United States and it's allied
democracies.
1--WE believe the cause of interna-

STATUSQU0BASIS
EXPECTED FROM
THE KAISER SOON
Proposal, Predicted by London to
Prepare Public for More Con-
cessions, is Belief.
ENTENTE INDICATES REFUSAL
AND GERMANY SEEMS AWARE
Main Consideration Is to Get Food
and Factory Supplies to Stay
Revolution, Says Briton.

London, Sept. 11.-Official Lon
don believes that a very definite
peace offer will come from Germany
before winter and that the offer will
suggest immediate cessation of hos
tilitfes on status quo basis.
The Entente has indicated that 1t
will refuse such terms, and Germany
is believed aware of this. But Ger
man leaders regard status quo offer
an indispensable step in the prepara-
tion Of German public opinion for
further concessions.
A high official has given out the
following statement:
Preparing Public Opinion.
There is no doubt that the Ger
man government is anxious to get
out of the war at the earliest possi-
BILE moment on any terms insuring
them against revolution and national
collapse.
People Would Welcome It.
"Great numbers Of people in Ger
many today would welcome a peace
on a status quo basis in which no
belligerent would gain any territory
and in which each side would bear
Its own burden Of the material losses
or the war. But it is impossible to
say how far this view has spread
among the German proletariat. be-
cause 1T has had small opportunity
OF public expression. If the German
people ultimately come to accent a
loss Of territory as inevitable, they
must reach that frame of mind
through a willingness to accept stat
us quo peace. II the war continues
to go against Germany, test offers to
conclude such peace certainly will
be made.
Since Germany's peace Offer q
year ago, the continued pressure of
the Entente and the entry of the
United States has completely changed
the situation. The question is now
not what are the war aims of Ger
many, but what terms she her
self will be willing to accept.
Economic Matters in Foreground.
Thc entry Of the United States
and many of the South American
republics has put economic matters
into the foreground. The German
government must view with extreme
apprehension the situation succeed
ing the declaration Of peace. The
physical exhaustion of the people
and of the country, the want Of
food, which cannot be immedia ely
remedied, and raw material for start
ing manufactures. will create a seri-
GUS situation. If troops back from
the front cannot start Immediately
in industrial life almost inevitably
there will be very dangerous revo-
lutiOnary movement.
"This would be started by the
minority socialists, and if Germany
comes out Of the war without in
creased strength and prestige, the in
fuence of the government on the
middle classes will be so much weak
ened that it will be impossible to
depend on their support against a
revolutionary movement
Military Position.
"The Prussian military and ag-
rarian party undoubtedly would pre-
fer civil war to any surrender which
would deprive them Of their political
power.
For this reason what Germany
will most seek for in any peace ar

tlon Against Circuit Judge Bush

and that he would prevent any lynch
ing or demonstration against Circuit
Judge Charles Smith and Common.
wealth Attorney Denny Smith, Gov A.
0. Stanley bluffed an angry mob and
practically restored order in Murray
by dispensing the mob, which has been
threatening to lynch the court officials
if Luke Martin, negro, charged with
murder, was not brought back here for
immediate trial.
Facing a crowd which filled every
available inch of space in the circuit
courtroom of Galloway county, Gov,
Stanley declared that he would use
every means within his power to
thwart the expressed threats of the
mob. He said that the trial Of Martin
would be conducted just as the court
intended it, and that the negro would
be kept away from Murray as long as
he saw fit to aid Circuit Judge Bush
in procuring a fair trial.
Following his speech, Gov Stanley
turned the court over to Judge Bush,
who defied the crowd by informing
those present that he would not COM
ply with their demands and had set
the trial of Martin for Feb. 8.
