homeless. The scenes and expert
ences of that calamity are still fresh
in the memory Of Duluthlans.
Burned and charred bodies, ruins OF
homes and farms, leveling of great
forests, were the toll. The city be-
came one great haven Of safety and
relief, with the Armory as the CEN
ter from which all relief activities
radiated. 1t is source of great
qualification to record the part that
the Jews of Duluth took in this
work. In every department they
were among the directing heads,
and rendered effective and SPLEEN
did service.
The B'nai Birth.
B'nai Birth has done little of out
standing interest the past year, ex-
cept for the part it took in the in
stitution of Theodore Roosevelt
lodge in Superior, Wisconsin. This
lodge had charter membership of
almost 90 members and, as might
be expected-drawn from the best
Jews of that city. The principal adj
dresses were made by Pres. H. D.
Frankel, Gustave Loevinger and
Charles D. Orekovsky. In Novem-
Der, 1918, the annual banquet of
Covenant Lodge No. 500 was held
at the Holland Hotel, coincident
with the celebration of B'nai Birth
Day. The principal speaker was
Mr.. H. D. Frankel, president of
District Grand Lodge No. 6. On
the Mesaba Range the B'nai Birth
has been more active, and it repre-
sents the pulse Of the community
in which it has it's center. In the
fall of 1918 B'nai Birth Celebra-
ton Day and initiation was held
at Virginia, MINI. The principal
joeaker was Mr.. L. Edward LASH
man secretary of the Social Service
and Anti-Defamation League of
THE I. O. B. B. at Chicago. , A
B'nai Birth Day celebration was
also held at Chisholm, Mimi, at
which Mr.. Jesse Calmenson of St.
Paul made the principal address. A
midsummer meeting Of the I. O.
B. B. and other Jewish organiza-
tons was held on the Iron Range
in memory of Morris Press who fell
in the World War.

Rome. Friday, Dec. 26.-Premier

ing the little tyrant Of the fourteenth
century. He does not realize the sit

as a corporal of storm troops and
plays the king among the soldiers in

Fiume and all Italy. Everybody
agrees today in depicting d'Annunzio

KNIGHT BOARD
TO RECONSIDER
+. .>MEDALAWARDS
Action Follows Announce.
ment That Sims Will =
Not Accept Medal.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Coincident
with announcements that two promi-
nent naval officers would decline
medals which were to have been pre-
sented to them by the navy depart
ment, Secretary Daniels announced
last night that he had ordered the
knight board reconvened to reconsider
data bearing on recent awards of
honor to naval officers and to make
recommendations for additional
awards. The action, following closely
upon the public announcement of
Rear Admiral Sims. commander of
American naval forces in European
waters during the war, that under
present conditions he would decline
the distinguished service medal he
was recommended for, seemed to fore
cast general revision of the navy's
honors for wartime service.
The officers reported to have fol-
lowed Rear Admiral Sims lead were
Vice Admiral Hilery p. Jones, COM
mander of squadron two of the At
lantic feet with the battleship Con-
necticut as his flagship, and Captain
Raymond D. Hasbrouck, commanding
officer of the pre-dreadnought battle
ship Minnesota. Captain Hasbrouck
said that he "thoroughly concurfed"
with the view of his brother officer
that officers who lost their ships
should not be decorated and declared
that, therefore, having lost v a ship
himself during the war, he could not
consistently accept the navy cross for
which he was recommended. Vice

Workmen's Act Said
To Be Emasculated
By Recent Session

= Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 27.-Students
of constitutional law at the capitol are
making the assertion that the legis-
lature emasculated the North Dakota
workmen's compensation act during
the special session when, it is con-
tended, in amending the original act
of 1919 to increase the membership
of the board from three to five, the
solons, unwittingly or otherwise, did
not re-enact the portion of that sec
ton Of the original act which defines
the duties and powers Of the work
mems compensation commissioners.
The section amended was No. 4 Of
chapter 1852, 1919 session laws. The
constitution, it is stated, requires that
when any section of any act is amend
ed, that entire section must be re-
enacted. This was overlooked. it ii
charged. in amending section 4. which
merely provides for five MEMBERS to
serve as workmen's compensation
bureau but which does not, in its pres-
ent form, it is alleged, assign these
compensation commissioners any
powerssor duties. 1t is contended that
it leaves them without the privilege
Of employing clerical help or incur
ring other expenses necessary to the
carrying out Of the act,

KOLCHAK9REPORTED
J. s. TO BE GIN s.. VERY
SERIOUS SITUATION

London, Dec. 27.-Admiral Kolchak,
head Of the all-Russian government in
Siberia, apparently faces critical
according to- Moscow ad-
vices. Bolshevfk forces advancing
eastward along the trans-Siberian
railroad from Omsk, former capital Of
the all-Russian regime, are said to
have captured Tomsk and Taiga and
to have occupied number of smaller
townsrin that region.
Admiral Kolchak and his cabinet
left Tomsk recently, retiring to the
east, but reports received here indicate
the retreat of the all-Russian armies
may be cut off as a result of the ac-
ton of social revolutionary elements
which have set up a new government
at Cheremkovo, about eighty miles
northwest Of Irkutsk. Further east
another center Of rebellion has de-
veloped in The Amur river valley,
Blagovestchensk being isolated from
the outside world, according to dis
patches.
Vladivostok dispatches state that
the United States and Japan have
reached a basis of agreement for joint
action against the Bolsheviki in ST.
IBERIA but details are as yet unknown.
