THE WASTE EXHIBIT.

A big manufacturing plant recently
was the scene of a travelling anti
waste exhibit II was found that "A
considerable amount of food and
manufacturing material was wasted
daily I'm that plant Employees wasted
between $35 and $50 worth of food
every day. OF course that came out
of their own pockets, too. The waste
i'm materials of production went up in
to the hundreds of dollars a day
That came out of the company's fund.
Neither kind of loss was necessary.
The management fitted up a stor-
age battery truck as n travelling eX-
hibit. Laid out upon IL were such
items as bread. butter, meats, cakes,
crackers, pickles, cheese, fruits, etc,
thrown away by employees. There
was another collection of manufactuT-
ing material, copper, zinc, lead, mica,
rubber, felt, gum and other materials
that could be used TO advantage but
which had been thrown aside rs
waste.
This truck with its strange burden
was driven along the shop aisles. En-
ployees looked at it, and no doubt
prodted by its picturesquely told les
son.
Suppose the average store or bust
ness office or household fitted up an
anti-Yaste exhibit of the things care
lessly thrown out in the course of any
day. 1t might prove quite as start
ling an object lesson as the one in the
faCtorN.

EXPLANATIONS.

The explanations Of the German
press regarding our part in the war
continue 10 contribute TO the amuse-
ment OF nations.
The German editors first assured
their readers that we wouldn't enter
the war because we didn't have the
nerve. and besides, our German
Americans wouldn't let us When we
declared war they maintained that it
was merely q blum; we couldn't raise
an army. When we raised a big army
they insisted that we couldn't get il
across, on account OF their all-power-
ful U-boats
Now they have been trying to ex-
plain away the fact that "notwith-
standing out brilliant submarine sue
cesses.' As the Berlin Lokal-Anzeiger
puts It. Germany has not been sinking
our transports. and our troops are
reaching France in steady and con-
tinually swelling stream. And so they
find refuge in the argument that, after
all, it doesn't matter. II would be
foolish 90 make any elaborate effort
to check our transport service.
IF American could send 100000
soldiers. they could not be fed. Our
war aim would be reached as well
then as if they were drowned.
It's perfectly simple, Germany is
Turing our troops across in order to
let them starye TO death, thereby saw
ing the expenditure of torpedoes.
And if the German people are ready,
with their usual gullibility, to swallow
that kindergarten logic. let them do it,

-CLIPPIN GS OF
CAPITAL COUPONS

There were 100000 successful
home gardens last year, according to
government estimate An expert
writing for an agricultural paper
says there were 100000. Let them
quarrel about it if they want to; the
important thing is to double the num-
her this year. How about yours?
Germanys latest enemy is Guate-
mala. And that's no laughing matter
to Germany. in spite of the little
military inenectiveness. Her enmity
means another link in the chain that
will bar German trade conquest in
America hereafter.
Uncle Sam has ordered 10000 new
freight cars for his railroad. and eX-
poets soon to order 10000 more. That
ought to help solve the coal problem
next winter.
Germany is going to spend 5000, 000,
coo to build merchant ships Com
pared with what Uncle Sans doing
along this line, the Kaiser's a hopeless
piker.
Almost everybody is a "bloated bond
holder" who. once upon time, we
sneered at. How times do change.

Zihlman- Senator Duyail. In Con-
gressioHai Fight.
To the Editor OF the Evening Capital:
So much discussion has arisen re-
garding the supposed dissension in
the Democratic party in Maryland,
that people are apt 10 forget that har-
mony has not been so very evident
among the Republicans during the
past two or three years and while
certain prominent Democratic leaders
have been out Of touch with each
other for some time, the same state
of affairs has existed and still eX-
lists among the Republicans. Indeed,
il may be said without any prospect
OF successful contradiction, that the
hostility to each other on the part
OF the leaders OF the Democratic
party is mild compared 10 the hos
tility to each other among the most
prominent men in the Republican
party
Among ,he Democrats the differ
euces which have arisen during the
past few years, have been entirely pO-
liticaI in their character. There has
been no severance of personal rela-
lions. and the leaders of the different
wings of the party in the State, and
the different factions in the city of
Baltimore, may frequently he seen to
getheT talking in apparent harmony,
and as has been said in former let
ters, there are no insurmbuntable OBJ
stacles to future unity and harmony
Of action among the Democrats of all
shades OF opinion throughout the city
and state. Such, however, does not
seem to be the case with the Republi-
cans, whose differences are not only
based on political reasons, but are al
so personal tO a startling degree. In
fact, the leading Republicans appear
TO be divided not only on political
grounds, but in many instances carry
their hostility 10 each other 10 an ex-
IRENE degree of personal hatred, and
make no conCealment of the fact
Personal hatred and political hatred
seem TO have combined in such n de-
gree among the leaders of the Repub-
lican factions as to prevent any real
harmony OF spirit and concert of ac-
ton at any time in the near future.
And no such spirit is evident in the
talk or action of any of the Demo-
cratic leaders in Maryland, for all
seem ready and anxious to forgive
and forget, to give and take. in order
to bring about unity of action as we'll
as harmony of party spirit in the flu
ture.
On the other hand the Republican
leaders show no disposition to get to-
gether. The faction at present in
apparent control of the party, of
which the leading spirits are Messrs.
Jackson, Weller. France and TAFT. are

RUSSIAN PRISONERS

New York, Oct. 19.--Despite the
agreement between Germany and the

most of the Russian captives for work
in Germany, at the western front and
in the Baltic provinces. e..
Russians who managed to make
their way from the latter region to
Petrograd declare that thousands Of
Russian soldiers have been sent to
the Baltic provinces to work on the
estates of the pro-German Baltic
barons They work under guard of
armed German soldiers and under a
discipline as rigid as that Of the
prison camp. The Germans do not
hesitate to use clubs and the butts Of
their guns on-the Russians. r-s,5' -
+ The horses are better taken care
OF than the Russians. AS a result,
many OF the Russians are suffering
with tuberculosis and other diseases
and are dying by hundreds. Natives
Of central and Siberian Russia are
those chosen for work in the Baltic
provinces. The Russians captured by
the Germans in Esthonia and Livonia
have been sent into the interior Of
Russia-the soldiers for field work
and the red guardsmen for digging
trenches.
No sooner did the Germans begin
to feel themselves masters of the sit
uation than they levied taxes upon
the Russian population and the pro-
letarian population in general. A
seperate passport tax also was levied.
If a civilian Russian desires to leave
for Russia he must pay as high as
$50 roubles for a passport. Taxes
have been levied on windows, window
curtains, beds and pillows. 5 ~-.
The population of the, region is
living in a state of terror. Instead
of the promised autonomy it has
given the most outrageous form of.

RED CROSS APPEAL
FOR CLOTHING MEETS
WITH READY RESPONSE

The appeal of the Red Cross for
clothing for the fire sufferers is being
met with hearty response in Be-
midi, not only on the part of its
citizens in general but on the part
of the merchants and business men.
The regular salvage committee OF
the Red Cross has been assigned to
this task and headquarters, at III
Third street, presents sight good to
see.
From every part of the city have
been contributed clothing for men,
women and children. Pillows, blan-
kets, comforts and an endless variety
Of bed covering have been donated,
all of high class. Clothing and other
wearing apparel Of excellent quality
have been given to relieve the vic
tins OF the terrible catastrophe.
One firm of clothing merchants of
Bemidji came to salvage headquar-
ters with several new suits Of mems
clothing, each occupying a box. A
number Of good hats also were donat-
ed, being taken from stock. Shirts
were arso Forthcoming, making a
most acceptable contribution.
The committee is hard at work get
ting the donations ready for ship
ment and they will go forward Mon
day to the Duluth headquarters OF
the Red Cross, which is looking after
the relief of the refugees OF the
stricken district.
All desiring to help in this part of
relief work should bring their dona-

Pursuant to ain order from the war

has been received and the signs have
been removed.
The only employment office all
lowed to use signs is ,Iat of the war
industries board and this is in charge
of Charles Daily of Bemidji, office on
Second street.
1t is said that the scarcity of labor
has been the cause of this action.
It is also said some agencies of labor
offer higher wages to men for small
jobs. while important war plants are
short-handed, paying the wages con-
siderate with the work in which they
are engaged Bidding on labor will
not be allowed hereafter, and all
must go through the war industries

WHOM TO MAKE FIRE
RELIEF CHECKS OUT TO

In making out checks as con-
tributions to The Pioneer Fire
Relief Fund, many are in doubt
as to whom to make the checks
payable. Checks may be made out
to The Pioneer Fire Relief Fund
and they will be turned over to
Rev. L. p. Warford, president OF
the Red Cross chapter, for for
warding to the proper authorities.
H. All moneys received is also ac-
counted for, the names and
amounts published and turned
over with the checks.
In this manner, there is little
danger Of an error and in case
there is one it should be promptly
reported.
The Pioneer is doing this that
Bemidji may have an opportunity
to aid. together with hundreds OF
cities and towns throughout the
state, in this work for humanity,
relieving the distress of the str1ck-
Ell forest fire victims.
And we are grateful for the
hearty corporation being eX-
tended.

good behavior American soldiers are
walking off with the palm.
The Londoner is favorably i'm
pressed with the quiet, gentlemanly
conduct and soldierly bearing of the
Yankees. Although vast numbers Of
American soldiers are met in London
streets every day, not a single case
of drunkenness among them has been
brought to public notice.
Voluntary woman workers at the
gle hut are unanimous in their
praise of Americans, who they say,
are always courteous, and never in

course, the Yank is quite an adept at
a we1I-turned compliment, and does
not try to hide his appreciation of
what English women are doing
