PLAYING A BIG
PART IN WAR
Slavic Student Says Mime
sofa Range has Much to
Do With Victory.

Duluth. Mimi. March 14.-"The
war will be won for the United States,
the allies, and the world upon the
iron ranges of Minnesota" ~
DR.. Bogumil Vosnjak, student of
Slavic problems and conditions. MEM
ber of the Jugo-Slav committee in
London, and formulator and signer of
the Croatian declaration of independ-
ence, summed up his ideas gained
from a tour of the iron ranges in
these words at the Commercial club
here last night.
"A certain very great Austrian gen
eral once said There are three factors
in victory. They are money, money
and money l think he was mis-
taken; I would say rather that they
are Iron, iron and iron. and your
ranges will furnish it,"
Speaking on "A Bulwark against
Germany" DR.. Vosnjak emphasized
the importance of Jugoslavia-com-
posed of Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia
AS a defense against the aggression
Of the central powers.
Austria Hungary is not a united
nation" he said. Never believe that

CZECH NATION
DECLARES
INDEPENDENT
Declaration Issued by Rep.
resentatives of Nation
r., at Prague.

Washington, March 14.-Rcpresen-
tatives of the Czech nation at Prague
have made a public declaration of
their nations unshakeable will and
unassailable right to self determine
ton and complete political independ-
ence from Austria. All reports of the
proceedings of the Czech representa-
tives were ordered suppressed by the
reached the CZecho-Slovak national

The constituent assembly of the

reichsrat, and the national diets OF
Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, elect
ed by the free choice of the people OF
Czech lands, in attendance, constitut-
ing legal representation Of the
whole nation.
The declaration, adopted by unani-

of the sentiment of the whole Czech

the Franco -Prussian war when they
said
'All nationalities. be they great OF

they must be considered equal"
| Continuing, the present declaration

REDUCTION IN SHIP
TIMBER SIZES Is
AUTHORIZED TODAY

Washington. March 13.-Reduction
in ship timber in sizes used in wooden
construction in the south was author
lied today by the shipping board to
expedite construction.
John H. Kirby of Houston, Texas,
vice president Of the Southern Pine
association. has been named to take
a survey of pine forests to determine
the amount of material available for
wooden ships as a further step to
increase the output.
Under the old specifications few
trees could be found in southern for
ests sufficiently large to cut the heav-
ier pieces, and 1900 cars of fir were
ordered from the Pacific coast for
southern yards. Off1cials hope that
the changes will speed UP .construc-
ton so that additional contracts may
be placed. but it is not the intention
to undertake further building until
the present delayed program has been
put forward. -

SMUGGLING OF 7.
BOOZE TO BE
DANGEROUS
Private Express Business
at Duluth Will not be
/ Tolerated.


Duluth. Mimi, March l4.-"private
express of the sort that has found
popularity in the Twin Ports since
Duluth went dry last July, is soon to
become a hazardous occupation, say
members of the state safety commits
sion, whose ruling concerning the i'm
portation of liquor into dry counties
will become effective in st. Louis
county at midnight tomorrow. The
private express" companies are those
who take daily or semi-weekly jaunts
to Superior and return with liquor
supplies believed ample to tide then,
over Until the next trip. Those who
attempt to smuggle banned liquids
across the state line by motor car will
be giving the authorities an oppor-
tunity to cancel automobile licenses
Personal capacity will be the only APP
proved means of returning liquor to
Duluth.
The dry period will begin for all
saloons and retail liquor dealers in
ST. Louis county on Saturday. Be
cause of pleas by brewers the time
limit for those concerns has been ex-
tended to April 1.

LABOR BUREAU
PLANS MADE
Wilson Outlines Program to
be Followed by Seven
Divisions.

Washington. March 14.-Plans by
which the seven newly organized bu
reaus of the department of labor are
expected to handle all labor problems
affecting the war program were out
lined by Secretary Wilson today. Each
bureau will cooperate directly with
the war and navy departments and
the Shipping board and all difficulties
arising in these departments will be
referred to one of the seven bureaus
: Charts of the progress of all con-
struction work will be kept by the
army, navy and shipping boards and
any delay due to labor difficulties will
be shown in reports to the labor de-
partment to be referred to the proper
bureau.
The labor, department expects with
this system to reduce to a minimum
all delays in the war program fn'
which labor might be held responsible.
Secretary Wilson has asked congress
for an appropriation of $4S5,000 to
cover the expense of the re-organiza-
ton in addition to- the $4,000. 900
housing appropriation.

CLOUDBURST SWEEPS
DOWN VALLEY OF
CANlSTEO TODAY
One-third of City of Hornell,
N. Y, is Completely
Destroyed.
FACTORY DISTRICT
is UNDER WATER
Flood Extends Forty Miles
and Rain Continues to
Pour Down.

Rochester, N. Y. March 14.--Scores
of families have been driven from
their homes and all industries in
Hornell are paralyzed as the result of
a disastrous flood due to a cloudburst
that swept down the valley of the
Canisteo early this morning, inundat-
ing third of the city.
The entire factory district is under
water and many buildings have been
damaged to the extent of many thou
sands of dollars. Firemen and police
men have been working for hours in
boats rescuing residents from their
inundated homes So far as is known
no lives have been lost. The Erie and
Shawmut railroad tracks are under
water and no trains are moving over
that road.
The flood extends forty miles down
the Canisteo river valley, almost to
Corning. Rain continued late this
morning and the water is still rising.
Soon after the storm broke and a
food was threatened the girls in the
Hornell telephone exchange sent
warnings to persons living in the
danger district probably saving many
from harm and possibly death.

Today's War
Summary

Favorable weather on, most of the
western front has led to increased
fighting but none of the armies has
yet made an attack in great strength.
All apparently are keyed up to the
highest pitch and the raids into op-
posing trenches are becoming strong
er each day.
in the Champagne here the Ger
man artillery has been very active
the French have withstood a German
attack. The effort was repulsed by
the French with severe losses to the
attackers. American raiding parties
and American gunners both are busy
on the sectors northwest of Toul and
west of Luneville. The Germans do
not remain in their trenches to fight
the Americans but flee to the rear
lines when General Pershings men
appear.
British troops in the Ypres area
Wednesday took the initiative and in
a raid southwest of Polygon wood
captured 81 prisoners and three ma
chine guns and inflicted casualties or
the enemy. The German artillery ac-
tivity is intense on the Ypres sector
and between Arras and Armentieres
where strong German raids earlier ir
the week were repulsed by British
and Portuguese troops.
On the costal sector in Palestine

vanced three miles on an eleven mile
front. Six villages We're taken ant

Hospital Employees
Demand Wage Increase
Living Expenses Have Not Gone Up
for Employees Staying at 81
Hospital.

Bismarck, N. D.. March 14.-Now
the employees of the state hospital for
the insane are demanding a $40 per
month wage increase. The state
board of control has the demand un-
der consideration. The hospital ap-
preparation was increased as an em-
ergency measure during the recent
special session but increased wages
were not taken into consideration.
While the board of control does not
deny that wages at the state hospital
are low. it contends that employees
there have not the increased cost Of

mands. inasmuch as everything con-
nected with living expenses is furnish

Meanwhile the artillery pounds

points and myriad airmen are busy

eyes for the respective armies.
The British airmen have been do
ing marvellous work recently. The
