friends who urged him to try for a
commission.
At the outbreak of war Payne was
offered captaincy but refused it.
II want to win my shoulder bars

them. Last winter he served as
first sergeant, but this spring asked
to be reduced to a sergeant, so he
could go out and lead a platoon
Only few weeks before he was killed
the recommendation went through for
his promotion to lieutenacy. With
in a few days Sergt. Jim would have

CHRISTMAS WILL See
MANY TOYS MADE in
F.. AMERICAN FACTORIES

America has risen to the toy sit
uation, and boys and girls of the U. S.
will have plenty of toys this year,
according to A. r. Carlson, who just
recently returned from a buying trip
to the Twin Cities and Chicago.
Because of the steel situation, iron
toys will be few, but wooden toys will
be plentiful. Last year was Amer
ica's first attempt at toy making, as
heretofore she had depended on for
eign countries for the bulk of this
material, and "made in Germany
toys were especially prominent. Since
the war, however, all German. and
most other foreign toys have been cut
off. The first toys bearing the "made
in the u. S. A." stamp were, at least,
not substantial. With years time,
however, manufacturers have found
where many Of the defects lie, and
this years goods are quite superior
to those of last season.
War toys are, of course, Mr. Carl
son says, much in the lead. Toys rep
resenting the many machines used in
the real battles are many and varied
Tanks which will climb such dreaded
obstacles as pillows, machine guns
which shoot wooden bullets, cannon
of hundred different sizes, shapes
and patterns, will be sold. w..
Bisque dolls are also a scarcity,
as most of the bisque products came
from Germany. Japanese toys are
also on the market in quantity,
he says, and will be much in evidence
at The toy stores. - ), - :

EMERGENCY BILL PASSED BAN PUT UPON BEER

E Washington, Sept. 7.-Manufac-
ture OF beer in the united States will
be prohibited after December next
as war measure.
-, This announcement was made last
night by the food administration
which said the decision had been
reached at conferences between Presi-
dent Wilson and representatives of
the fuel, food and railroad admins
trations, and the war industries
board.
Factors which influenced the deci-
sion to prohibit the manufacture of
beer after December 1, the food ad-
ministration announcement said,
were "the further necessity of war in
dustries for the whole fuel produc-
tive capacity of the county, the con-
siderable drouth which has material
ly affected the supply of feeding stuff
for next year, the strain upon trans
portation to handle necessary indus
tries, and the shortage Of labor
caused by enlargement of the army
program"

have as many Bemidji people as pos
sible in the film. The pictures will
be taken before 2 o'clock, and it is
urged that those who wish to partic-
ipate be there before that hour.
An endeavor will be made to have
a swimming contest, and as many
boats and canoes as possible would
also make the pictures more attrac-
tive. Luncheon will be served at the
hotel and reservations should be
made, if possible.
Proprietor Cochran stated this
morning that thousands of out-of-
town people, had been brought to Be-
midi through the summer hotel this
season, but that very few Bemidji
people had patronized the popular
summer resort: The hotel will be
open until about September %, and
he hopes to have more Bemidji visi-
tors during that time.
Six o'clock dinner will be served
at the hotel tomorrow evening, espe-
cia1ly for Bemidji people.

AUSTRIAN SAILOR TELLS OF ,.
DARING FEAT OF THE ITALIANS

we discovered that an Italian motor
boat was only a short distance from
us, and moment afterwards there
were two terrific detonatiOns.
"The first torpedo penetrated into
our munitions magazine, but did not
explode" The second passed through
the hole made by the first and pene-
trated into the engine room.
Immediately all electric lights
went out. Wireless apparatus ceased
to work, and even the pumps were
put out of comm ission, so that we
were obliged to work the pumps by
hand to keep the water down. In
order to Tighten the ship we threw
overheard all our heavy munitions.
No Hone Is Seen.
"After two hours of terrific work
we were forced to recognize that
there was no hope. Toward 6 O'Clock
in the morning the bridge gave way
and the captain, who had been stand
ing on it, was plunged into the sea,
but succeeded in regaining the ship
by swimming.
"Our signals no longer worked, and
finally the captain fired three revol-
yer shots as signal for the entire
crew to stand by and line up on
deck Some fifty sailors who were
working in the bottom of the ship
failed to hear the signal and re-
NAMED below. With them was Lieut..
Bowls.

chaplain gave us final absolution.
just at the moment that the battle
ship began to go down. We threw
ourselves into the sea, and after
three-quarters of an hour were picked
up by torpedo boats that were escort
ing us. There were also picked UP
the bodies of several of the sailors
who were drowned in the bottom of
the sip, and these were inferred
later with military honors at Pola,'

Rome, Aug. 16.-(By Mail. j.
Hungarian papers have just reached
Italy by way of Switzerland contain
ing an interview with one Of the
survivors of the Austrian cruiser
Santo Stefano, sunk by an Italian
motorboat under the command Of
Commander Rizzo.
The interview contains graphic de-
tails of this new form Of naval COM
bat which has been developed eX-
clusively by the Italians since the
beginning of the war. The sea-going
motorboats with which the Italian
navy is now harassing the Austrian
fleet are similar to the thousands Of
motorboats to be found at every sea
and lake resort in America. In only
one respect do they differ, and that
is in the two torpedo tubes at the
sides, from which deadly torpedoes
glide out into the water.
Combats between these little boats
and the huge Austrian warships
resemble to a certain degree a sub
marine and warship encounter, eX-
cept that the motOrboat commanders,
unable to save themselves by sub
merging, take thousand times more
chances, meeting the foe in open
combat and count ting on the smallness
of their craft and their speed and
cleverness in maneuvering.
Sailor Tells Story.
This is the way the novel combat
in which the Santo Stefano went
down before the audacity of Com
mander Rizzo and his motorboat
looked to the Hungarian sailor aboard
the doomed Austrian cruiser:
"At 4 O'Clock in the afternoon we
received orders to prepare for sail

naval base) at 10 in the evening.
