The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-10-05

Charges affecting the genuine
ness Of Herr General Fritz Won
Resche's Americanism have been
filed in Washington. Representa-.
tives of the department of justice
admit that the matter is being
seriously needed but, at this time,
refuse further information.
If the Rip-saw is correctly in
formed, these charges are, in part.
at least, based on remarks made
by Resche. He is alleged to have
said that the United States had no
business to get into the war; that
the United States was not pre-
pared; that the soldier boys were
sent to the Mexican border with
out hospital facilities; that they
would be killed off like sheep by
the Germans over in Europe; that
president Wilson was playing
politics in entering the war and
acceding to the demands of
wealthy men who would make
money out Of this eountry's en-
! trance into the trouble.
It is understood that the dis
trict judges showed marked dis
pleasure when the question as to
Resche's real Americanism was
raised. After viewing the affida,
Wits, the members of the local
bench modified the tones Of their
voices somewhat but cautioned
against doing an injustice to any
innocent men.
In the meantime, Duluth, St.
Louis county and the district
judges are enjoying the benefit of

moners are burning German books
and banning razors, toys, dyes and
many other things "Made in Ger,

Resche, after service in the Ger
man army, came to America and
roamed around for several years,

maker. He constructed a neat

and records. After that, he

Resche a departmental pet.
,Resche developed into quite a
pistol shot and became prominent
in shooting matches. He also
drilled the policemen upstairs

J Resche also became jealous in
National Guard matters. Through
long years, he preceded Il. V.

was lieutenant. When Eva was

brigadier general.
Some months ago, Duluthians
were startled by the news tina:

Before mayor Magney could
properly investigate the scandal.
the News Tribune published the
facts prematurely, thereby soaring

Later, mayor Magney appointed
L. .. Young to investigate. No
one knows what he found out, for
no report ever has been made
public.
Last winter, Mr.. Young took
charge of a public fish market, on
Lake avenue, near the head of the

REMOTE INDIA QUOTES
Mr.. WILSON'S SPEECHES
Americas Entrance Into War
Bolsters Loyalty of the Villagers
to the Allied Cause.

NEW YORK, October 4.-Extracts
from President Wilson's speeches are
being quoted by villagers in the re-
hottest parts of Indian, where loyalty
to the allies is declared to have been
fosetred very largely by Americas
entrance into the war. according to a
report submitted to the joint cente-
nary committee of the Methodist
Episcopal Church by the Rev. Benson
Baker, superintendent of the missions
in the Meerut district.
In recent journey through an iSo-
lated part of the country Mr.. Baker
discovered that people in the farthest
villages are talking of the United
States and President Wilson. Quota
lions from the Presidents statements
have spread almost entirely by word
of mouth. only an infiniteSima1 pro-
portion of the people being able to
read.
In the minds Of the people Of India
America stands out as a great ideal
nation" Mr.. Baker reported. Her en-
trance into the war convinced them
that the cause was righteous. AS soon
as the men of the villages find out
that ours is the American mission
they begin eagerly to ask questions
about the country across the seas.
Somehow these people have heard ex-
tracts Of what President Wilson has
said, and it has gripped their hearts
as nothing else has done since the war
began"

By the Associated Press.
Standardization of the gov
ernment's declaration and the ques-
ton of peace was begun yesterday in

rest and Brest-Litovsk.

ton by the Polish constituents.

Poles and Czechs and declared that
the only means of reaching peace
was to accept President Wilson's
fourteen points.

FRENCH DEPUTY POSITIVE
OF "COMPLETE VICTORY"
NJ. CALI Returns to Paris From the
War Front With Cheering
Information.

PARIS. October Gavas).-Deputy
Henri CALI. who also is president of
the Paris city council, in an inter-
view in La Liberte after a visit to
the Champagne front. said that never
since the war began has he returned
to Paris from the front with such
positive convictions of a complete
victory.
In the present operations in Cham
pagne. he says, the French have car
ried positions which they could not
take in 1915 and their casualties are
one-tenth of what they suffered in
the first battle of Champagne. The
German army today is not what it
was in 1915. On the other hand the
French have a superiority over the
enemy in their belief in final victory.
Prisoners taken by the French, NJ.
Cali added, show signs of democrat

German officer. however, told the
deputy that while there was no doubt
the German army would not go to
Paris this year. it will 60 there ten

New Line on Danube Likely.

LONDON. October 3.-The central
powers, according to the views in
military circles here. will be forced to
establish a new line on the Danube
to protect Austria from hostile ma
tionalities within her own borders and
to keep down the unrest in Rumania,
which. reports say, is becoming more
threatening daily.
Germany has thirty-t1ree divisions
and Austria-Hungary has thirteen divi-
sions in Russia, some of them poor
troops. These could be transported to
the Danube quickly, but if this were
done. military experts point out, the
central powers would virtually abandon
all they gained by the R-"~'

The Eastern team has been work

Meet President Hay 7rou First Ball at Opening
Boston Braves Will Meet
Griffith's Nationals Today
Beantowners Make Visit
Here Today for Exhibi-
ton Game at Florida
Avenue Stadium.

Why should the weather man do
his butting in on the only eXhibi-
ton game scheduled in the National
Capital for the day? According to
the schedule made up some time in
the months of January or Febru-
airy, Secretary Hapwoods, of the
Boston Braves. kicked in with this
circuit arranged for Clark c.! MIS-
Nationals to play here on this occa-
sion.
Should this weather man decide to
keep in that same league or this
!, disagreeable habit there will be no
game today.
The Braves have been the under
dog in this spring campaign against
the New York Yankees, but the Yam
KEGS can swat and watch this tribe
of "swatmen" in the drive for the
flag in this year OF 1918.
Any club that gets away with these
Yankees or the quartet that bat in
| the cleanup position will know that
it has opposed a real gang of fehce-
busters
Unless weather conditions turn for
the best there will be no chance of
the game with the Braves today.
Florida Avenue Stadium is at pres
ent soaked to the core, and the foot
ing in the territory OF the outer
works is even beyond the redemp-
ton of Jimmy O'Dea, expert and of
course extraordinary in the line Of
ground-keeping.
According 10 Jimmy there Is no
chance for this Hub City crew to
exhibit their pennant-winning claims
to the local public. but Jimmy and
his gang may slip it over on the boys
of the B. B. Johnson circuit and
show something real interesting.
From the way that the American
League Yankees have been knocking
these beantowners off in the exhibit
ton contests, George Stallings has
gathered around him a bunch of
weaklings, and the Braves are doom,
ed for a cellar position.
In the lineup Of this Stallings
clan will be found pitcher-players
of note. According to reports Dick
Rudolph. the mainstay OF this Hub
City team. has not reported, and
this climax which broke in the Cap
ital City brings out other stories.
