HAS BEEN APPOINTED.

Chas. Trezona has received from
the State Safety Commission the ap-
pointment of Agent in this city and
is now vested with all the powers
conferred on the county agent to en-
force the provisions of Order No. A..
Agents have been appointed in all
range towns in view of the area of
the county. The regular county
agent in Duluth had too much to do
and hence was given assistance.
Others appointed in the range towns
are as follows:
Carl H. Schuster, Biwabik.
Ray Anderson, Gilbert.
j. H. McNiven, Chisholm.
Frank R. Campbell, Eveleth. !.
e. A. Bergeron, Hibbing.
H. J. Schaar, Virginia.

loses none of the confidence of his
patrons in his skill, and he may kill
any number of persons secundum
artum without mourning the slightest
responsibility.
These are curious facts says the
New Orleans Picayune, but they are
mentioned not by way of excusing
editorial mistakes for there is no ex-
cuse for them. 1t is because every
individual firmly believes that ne
could conduct newspaper better
than those charged with the work,
while no professional person would
undertake to usurp functions OF the
Judge or the physician.

Senator O. H. Griggs gets out tt

Senator o. H. Griggs gets out the
"uneekest" political advertisement
so far seen. 1t is a colored chrome
but a mighty fine advertisement of
the present and coming senator. The
Minnesota background in the picture
of the senator is what gives it local
color and it's local value as well. The
senator is a Minnesota product and
the green hills, the towering pines
in the picture represents that his
heart is here, that his home is here,
although in France with the colors.
The advertisement is issued by M. A.
Murphy, secretary of Mr.. Grigg's
personal campaign committee.

Old Bill seems touched when we
accuse him of barbarities. Says he
never did it. 1t is noticeable
fact that none of his soldiers have
been shot for raping women through
any order issued by him. A word
from him would stop the shelling of
heads in the water after the ship
goes down. A word from him
would have saved the Lusitania. A
message from him would have saved
many a Red Cross hospital from the
bombs of his airmen. His name on
German piece of paper would have
saved the life of Edith Cavell. A
word from Kaiser Bill would have
saved the United States from sending
two millions of men overseas to
make him behave. Barbarities-
o, He'll.

Bill now sends out orders to his
U-boat men to not shoot at passen-
ger ships. And since the orders went
out (if he did, how many ships will
any country send out without a suffi-
cent convoy? Not single country
in the world. You are such liar,
Bill. that no one will believe you.
These death bed repentances of yours
are only good any more for just
what they are worth--a tinker's d-n.

Somehow one just cannot but pity
Austria in this fight. For, if Austria
and Germany win, Austria loses any
how. Austria will always be Ger
man slave so long as Bill is on the
throne. 1t would sem as if poor old
Austria would toss her hat in the
ring with the Allies and thus make
for her own perpetual peace by help
ing to knock the tar out of her bru-
fish master, Bill. Austria is Ger
man joke today.

But few cars were out Sunday in
Ely. Perhaps while the gasless order

the car owner had time to look over

ded to let up on the gasoline bills,
regardless of any government order.

The Village Council of the Viii

the village hall every Monday in

is fit recognition and the council has
taken proper action in passing this

USE OF WHEAT BY
HOTELS PERMITTED
Hoover Frees Public Places
From Voluntary Ban.
Special Dsspatch to THE Sun.

WASHINGTON. July 2s.-Permission
was given to hotels. restaurants and
other public eating places by Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover to-day to return to
the use OF wheat -four In bread served
to patrons In a cable message Mr.
Hoover said wheat may now be used
with the other substitutes specified for
making victory" bread. This action re-
leases hotel and restaurant proprietors,
clubs and dining car managers from the
pledge given in March to refrain from
serving bread containing wheat -four
until this years harvest had been
gathered.
Mr.. Hoover's message said:
'Tn releasing the hotels, restaurants.
clubs and dining cars from their volun-
tary pledge not to use wheat in any
form until the new harvest. I wish to
congratulate them upon the patriotic
example they set. and thank them for
the large savings made. Tho echo Of
their service has been heard in Europe
and has pointed the way OF democracy
the most service of those who have the
most to give.
'It has been a personal inspiration to
me to have the continued help so freely
given OF all Of the men and women who
put through the no wheat campaign
which helped us to provide for the neces-
stiles of the Allies In spite OF our short
crop.
.T have confidence that the same spirit
will enable us to build UP the great re-
serve OF wheat and other foods needed
to provide against future crop failures
and to assist the allied nations in put
ting through the great offensive that
must win the war"

MUTINIES IN ITS ARMIES

Copyright, 1913: al rights reserrtd.
PARIS. July 2s.-A high neutral off,
cial who has just returned from Con-
stantinople describes the present situa-
ton in Turkey as one likely to have
disastrous consequences very soon to the
Teutonic alliance. What he told the
French officials OF the general internal
political condition Of Turkey and its
rupture with Bulgaria. which already
has resulted in an armed clash OF the
troops OF the two allies. or about Tur-
keys alleged man9uvres in Switzerland,
aiming at an understanding with the
Entente Powers, could not be learned.
This neutral official confirmed the re-
ports OF mutnies in the Turkish armies,
notably an uprising Of troops at Smyrna
several weeks ago. The food situation
Is described as horrible" He said:
Turkey never has been able to make
separate peace because the men who
have it in their power to make peace
have been getting rich tratficking in
food. They would not mind II the war
went on forever. Nearly every member
OF the Government and Of the army
staff is member of the so-called food
control board. a gigantic trust which
is reaping harvests OF gold.
'As for the people they will never
rise against their oppressors. As an
example OF how utterly devoid Of energy
and stamina the people are it is neces-
sary only to see the poor and famshed
Mohammedans looking on duly while
hundreds Of food laden trains pass
through the cities and villages, and not
even a voice is raised while men con-
tinue to fall In the streets from starva-
ton"

LONDON, July 2S.-The survivors OF
two sailing trawlers, respectively British

The survivors state that the Germans
ransacked the trawlers before sinking
them and carried of everything OF value.
The German sailors, according to the
survivors. ate biscuits and fish raven
ously as II starving. All Of the Germans
