Many Lives Lost
In Minnesota Fires
NINETEEN TOWNS DESTROYED
BY BIG FIRE THAT SWEEPS
THROUGH FORESTS
600 BODIES ALREADY
HAVE BEEN RECOVERED
THOUSANDS ALSO HAVE BEEN
MADE Observation-Disclosures
CROWDED WITH INJURED

Heavy smoke has been drifting over
Mclean county and other sections OF
the state the past few days, following
forest fires which began to rage
through northern Minnesota last Sat
urday, which resulted in the destruc-
ton of ninteen towns and an immense
loss of lives. Six hundred bodies have
already been recovered but it is be-
lieved the loss will reach at least
1000 people.
The fire loss in Duluth alone is esti-
mated at $750,0OO with 100 buildings
in the outskirts destroyed. The towns
totally or partially destroyed are:
Moose Lake, Kettle River, Lawler,
Adolph, Munger, Five Corners, Har-
ney, Grand Lake, Maple Grove, Twig,
Barnum, Mathews, Atkinson, French
River, Clifton, Carlton, Brookston,
Brevator, Pikek Lake and Pine Hill.
Scores of persons injured by the
fires have taken to the hospitals in
Duluth and the Twin Cities. Thous-
ands have been left destitute and
homeless. Minnesota state officials
are planning to help them financially
while campaign is on in several
places to render like aid.
The latest reports show the fires are
under control.

SEVERELY
SCORED By LIEUT.. HILL

Speaking for two hours and a half.
Lieutenant A. H. Hill of the Canadian
forces held big audience enthralled
at the hall on Wednesday evening OF
last week.. when he told of his exper-
fences at the front and he scored
Prussianism in all it's hideous aspects.
He appeared under the auspices of the
Mclean county chapter of the Red
Cross and he was given a splendid
reception.
He applauded the American-Ger.
man. the man who either born in Ger
many or of German descent, still main.
tains a firm loyalty to the United
States but he denounced most ener-
getically the German-American, the
man who favors the German cause.
He advocated a thorough trouncing for
such a person, an advice, which, he
said, had been followed in some places
where he had spoken.
Lieutenant Hills address was mast
:erly throughout and proved to be one
of the best speakers who have yet
appeared at Washburn for the Red
Cross or any other war cause. ,

Wilson Ends Peace
Bluff of Germany
TELLS ENEMY NO ARMIST1CE
POSSIBLE WHILE 1T PERSISTS
IN INHUMAN PRACTICES
Definite ATTITUDE
IS GENERALLY UPHELD
HEAD OF NATION ALSO MAKES 1T
CLEAR THAT AUTOCRACY
MUST BE DESTROYED

Washington, D. c., Oct. 17.-Ger-
many's pretended bid for peace was
given Knockout" by President Will
son, in his reply to the enemy's answer
it would accept the terms which he
had laid down. He practically says the
Kaiser and his gang must go. The
definite attitude taken by the Presi
dent at this stage of the game, where
by he shows up the hypocracy Of the
Kaiser and his associates, has been
vigorously supported by every loyal
American.
The German governments answer
to President Wilson's query, which
came surprisingly fast, accepted his
terms and said: "It's object in enter
ing into discussion would be only to
agree upon practical details of the
application of these terms" The an
swer also said that the chancellor, in
reply to one of Wilson's queries, was
acting in the negotiations for both the
German government and the German
people.
1t has been generally felt that the
Germans are not bit sincere in their
peace efforts, except to halt. If pos
sible, the present disastrous defeats
administered them on the Western
front; as soon as the Germans catch
their breath, they plan to renew their

President Wilson declares that neith
er the United States nor its Allies will
consent to consider an armistice 80
long as the army of Germany contin-
ues the illegal inhuman practices
which they still persist in."
llff-"At thekyery time that the German
fgovernmetn approaches the govern
ment of the United States with pro-
posals. of peace its submarines are en-
gagged in sinking passenger ships at
sea, and not the ships alone but the
very boats in which their passengers
and crews seek to make their way to
safety; and in their present enforced
withdrawal from Belgium and France
the Germans are pursuing course of
wanton destruction which always has
,been considered a violation OF the
rules of civilized warfare. Cities and
villages if not destroyed often are
stripped of all they contain, even to
their population"
Wilson reasserts his pronouncement,
uttered in his address on Fourth of
July last. that the power responsible
for the present world war must be
destroyed "or if it cannot be destroy
ed, at least it's reduction to potential
impotency." He declares that it lies
in the power Of the German people
to get rid of Prussianism

SPECIAL TOUR OF ~"
SPEAKERS CANCELLED

The tour of special singers and
workers, throughout Mclean county,
in behalf of the Y. M. C. A. subscrip-
ton campaign, has been called off on
account of the Spanish influenza. This
means that the program arranged for
Washburn next Sunday morning has
been cancelled. John e. Williams,
county chairman, sent notice to that
effect to all local chairman, after con-
ferring with George N. Keniston,> dis
trict chairman at Bismarck.

Y. M. C. A. and similar organizations
operating in the army and navy will

try. it is expected to raise $4,000 in
Mclean county.

TOWNS FAIL TO REPORT
ON LIBERTY LOAN SALES

Some of the towns Of the county
must be ashamed of their records
when they do not send them in to the
county chairman as to the sales of
Liberty bonds.
Complete reports have been re.
ceived from Wilton, Washburn, Cole
harbor, Turtle Lake, Ruso, Max, Gar
:rison and Raub. All report that the
sales went over the top" as usual.
Mention has been heard on the
streets of patriotic Raub." Its quo
ia was $13,5O0, and the first day they
reported sale of $22.7O0. They made
a record on the third Liberty bonds
ALSO They have subscribed more
than the first days report When the
other towns send in their belated re
ports, all will be published
The So counties in the state have
overscribed $69,45O to date. That
shows what the people think of thu
peace proposals.

PRIVATE CARL kNUDTSON
REPORTED NOT KILLED

Great rejoicing occurred here on
Tuesday afternoon, when a telegram
from Washington announced that Carl
A. E. Knudtson of Washburn was safe
and sound with his company in France
The message, signed by Adjutant Cen
eral Harris, addressed to Mrs. Eliza
beth Knudtson, was as follows:
"Happy to inform you that Pri-
vate Carl e. knudtson, infantry,
previously reported killed in ac-
tion September 18th, is now report
ed present for duty"
On such slim information, it Is i'm
possible to say what happened to the
young soldier, for whom hundreds
have mourned the past two weeks
Some suppose that the Washburn
N. D., boy was confounded with one
CT a similar name from Washburn
Wis; others think Carl was wounded
and taken to hospital and no RECORD
kept, while still another theory il
that Carl during a fight got into {
strange regiment and has just return

CORPORAL EXPECTS WAR
TO LAST ANOTHER YEAR

Both the pathetic and humorous
sides Of the world were depicted by
Corporal Briant of Minneapolis, who
served with the Canadian army, in a
talk at the hall Friday evening, after
series of films. showing American
soldiers and blue jackets in action
here and abroad. He also gave an ac-
count of some of the atrocities COM
mtted by the Huns in Belgium and
France, from his personal knowledge.
He believed that the war would last
another year and there is some stiff
fighting still ahead. He told parents
of soldiers and those likely to enter
the service not to be unnecessarily
anxious about the hazards of fighting,
for out Of the great number engaged
comparatively few are killed or sew
erely wounded.

COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES THE
ENTERTAINER CALLED OFF

Owing to the prevalence of the
Spanish influenza, in various places
thruout the state we DEAN it advisable
to avoid having public gatherings that
would bring, people here from COM
amunities where the disease has gotten
started.
Rather than inviting criticism and
condemnation for getting the malady
started in this community, the COM
mittee on entertainment for the draft
ed men deems it advisable not to
have a program for the contingent
that leaves here next Monday. The
boys have our good wishes and God
speed which was shown in the way we
went over the top in the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan. Actions speak louder than
words. Well let our dollars do the
talking this time. The Committee

LIBERTY DAY OBSERVED
By VARIED PROGRAM

Liberty Day., in recognition of the
discovery 1926 years ago Of this coun-
try by Christopher columbus, was fit
tingly celebrated at Washburn last
Saturday evening. After some selec-
/ tions by the town band *onS the street,
the crowd gathered at the hall, where
an excellent program of music and
speeches was given. The full seating
capacity of the hall was taken. John
Bibelheimer presided.
Stirring, patriotic addresses were
delivered by Honorable J. T. McCu1-
loch. States Attorney J. E. Williams,
Karl Klein and Adolph Wacker, all of
whom are prominent in various phases
of war work in the county. The audi
ence cheered some of the utterances
most earnestly.
There was a varied music program.
Misses Anna Norrdin and Miss Flor
ence Indseth won applause for the
rendition of a piano duet, a form of
production that cannot be heard too
frequently in Washburn. Maxine Nc
Culloch and Sophia Kremenetsky made
hit singing couple of rousing,
patriotic songs. Adolph Wacker was
roundly encored after the singing Of
a new patriotic song and sang Keep
The Home Fires Burning"
The school chorus of IS voices, in its
initial appearance, acqitted itself cred
itably in three numbers, as announced
on the program, and ior good measure
sang another school song. There are
some good voices among the pupils
and with more practice it is expected
that the organization will be heard in
more ambitious efforts in the future.
One of the most pleasing features Of
the program was a flag drill by the
children of the lower grades. They
executed the march with commendable
precision and sang with remarkable
sweetness and clearness for ones so
young. Miss Sadie Ferguson and Miss
Helen Hubbard are to be congratulate
ed on the showing the youngsters
made.
