SOLDIERS
TAKING FRENCH WIVES

LISBON. - The Portuguese have
not failed TO live up to their repu-
tation for gallantry during their
three years sojourn in France. The
authorities have received notice Of
6,S77 marriages of French girls to
Portuguese officers and soldiers, and
many hundreds more are expected
10 follow.
The young Portuguese warriors. it
would seem. exercised an irresisti-
bic fascination upon the French
maidens by reason of the romantic
melancholy songs of Portugal, called
''fados." with which they serenaded
their sweethearts to the accom-
paniment of guitars. These airs,
il is said, gained wide popularity
in the Armentieres sector, where
the Portuguese expeditionary forces
were located.

IMPORTANT TO ALASKA

in calling an extra session Of Con
gress. will have the effect Of i'm
proving conditions in the States, es-
pecially in those quarters where
funds are running low and where
conditions otherwise have become
acute through failure Of the re-
firing Congress TO give final con-
sideration 70 pending legislation.
The call means a great deal to
Alaska, where railroad work is stag
mating because Of the exhaustion Of
funds; but there are other sections
Of the country which were equally
hard il BY the LaFollette filibuster.
The government itself finds en-
barassment in the situation, and had
not the President issued the cal!
when he did, il might have become
necessary even 10 stop the home
ward flow Of American troops from
Europe.
Several weeks ago the quarter
master general announced that he
had exhausted his supply Of funds
for the transportation Of troops and
purchase Of subsistence. and the
credit Of the department has been
seriously taxed to keep things NOV
ing. The war risk bureau, which
handles allowances for the depend
ents Of soldiers and sailors. also IS
very hard pressed, with scarcely
enough money 10 get through the
present month, and early congress
sional action is needed to prevent
additional delay in the payment of
claims Prompt action in this case
is necessary TO prevent actual suffer
ing among dependents.
Secretary of the Treasury Glass
appealed to the President in March
TO call an extra session for May /,
that funds might be provided in
time to prevent slowing down Of
government machinery. His ap-
peal was followed very soon by the
release of several thousand employees
at time when their services were
greatly needed. And a further de-
lay on the part of the President
would have necessitated much larger
reductions in forces, thereby handi-
Gaping the work Of practically all
government departments.
In view OF these coaditions at
Washington and the additional pres
sure which was brought to bear upon
the President by the Chamber of
Commerce Of America, representing
the business interests OF the entire
country, the call could not well be
longer deferred. A situation had
developed, apparently, which de-
manded immediate presidential at
tention.
While Alaska, perhaps, has not oc-
cupied a foremost place among the
problems confronting the executive.
an extra session of Congress never
theless means a very great deal
to the territory. And the calling
of the session for this month has
had the effect of restoring con-
fidence in quarters where the i'm
portance of the government railroad
project is fully appreciated. 1t has
lifted q load off the minds of those
who have been hanging on" in
Interior Alaska with the expectation
of sharing in the permanent pros
perity which improved transportation
insures; and it carries with it the
promise to workers of an early re-
sumption of railroad construction
which more than likely viii continue
henceforth, without interruption, I'M
til the work has been completed.

coming Congress, the lawmakers

HIGH DEATH RATE.
CONDITION ATTRIBUTED TO
MEDICAL AND NURSING SER
VICE IN THE STATE.

The Minnesota Public Health As
ISOLATION has been called upon to dis
cuss the wholly inadequate medical
and nursing service in Minnesota and
the high death rate resulting from it.
In reply, we would say with all sim
cerity that no other organization in
Minnesota realizes the desperate sit
uation more fully than we nor can
describe better the exact status of
the deplorable condition. 1t is quite
true that education of the Public is
required and we have devoted our
energies for years to this education ;
with results beginning to show. We
are bending every effort to organize
county public health associations, and
are already in touch with seventy
five of our eighty-six counties in this
matter to instruct people in the need
amongst others, for prenatal and post
natal medical service. We are con-
Quoting a state wide health tourna-
ment dealing with $4,000 teachers
and 100000 children to educate
children to educate their parents in
health matters. We have sent out
public health demonstration nurses
into eighty-four counties, and are
continuing to send them out. The
director of our public health nursing
is now making tour of the state to
ensure future nursing service to in
clude prenatal and post natal care.
We are financing to a large extent
the Public Health Nursing course held
at the University, issuing a health
journal every week, and the super
vising health instruction in schools,
all to educate the people to care for
their own health and to seek proper
assistance when necessary.
But the whole work is handi-
capped, not by lack of funds nor
by lack of cordial and intelligent CO.
operation, but by actual shortage of
the nurses who can do this work.
We are seeking legislation to sim
plify the employment of suchnurses
by counties; but beyond that is the
problem of securing them at all. We
shall continue to do all in our power
to prevent the losses of child life in
Minnesota and to improve the med
ical and nursing service. We stand
ready and willing to accept and try

shevists, saving itself and the west
ern countries from this plague. And
all this the little nation has accom-
plished very nearly alone, with its
own strength under extremely diff
cult conditions. Without arms and
ammunition it had to face this
violence. It took the first guns bare
handed from the opponents of force.
The assistance rendered by others
was very small, and much misunder-
standing has prevailed in the allied
countries on this point. But now that
the world is beginning to comprehend
the great menace of Bolshevism, we
realize the heroic work performed
by the Finnish white army in defeat
ing the onslaughts of Bolsheyism
last winter"
In his address in Chisholm Mr..
Rauanheimo gave careful sum-
mary of the. activities of the Finnish
white armies. He denies that they
have received material help from the
Germans. He also denies that the
Germans are in control in Finland.
He states that Finland has performed
service of great value in checking
the spread of Bolshevism and if for
no other reason deserves recognition
from the allied western powers. He
states further that through the gen.
eral election which is about to be
held, the question of a republic or
monarchy will be settled among other
things. He states that the Germans,
when in control of Finland, gave out
the statement that Finland has asked
them to provide king. He states
that the advocates of the republic
will be found to outnumber the mon
archists five to one.
Mr.. Rauanheimo also states that
the Bolshevists have succeeded in
driving into the conservative ranks
many persons who have hitherto
been enthusiastic socialists. The real,
thinking socialists, he states, has had
demonstrated to them by the reign
of terror in Finland, that revolution
will accomplish nothing and that the
reforms of a political and economic
character that are needed can only
be brought about by education Of the
people. Such reforms, he says,
these socialists are now convinced,
will take years, perhaps generations,
to accomplish. They are making
their campaigns along these lines.

of addresses in his own language

country. This will be a good fact tc
keep in mind when planning a re
turn to your native land.
The ruling allowing the issuance
of first and second papers in this city
will be of vast financial benefit tt
those intending to become citizens
No excuse on account of. finances
need now be the cause to keep aliens
from becoming citizens Of the best
country on earth. Heretofore it has
been necessary for the applicant with
two witnesses to make trip to Du.
luth or Virginia to file his petition
for naturalization papers. At the
time of the hearing the witnesses anc
the applicant made another trip
The railroad fare alone to Virgins
amounted to nearly $50. Two days
were required for the purpose OF
each trip. Figuring three mems pay
for four days each brings the total
almost out of the reach of the ordi-
nary man. While citizenship in this
country is well worth all it costs to
secure it, the tendency is strong to
defer the becoming of citizens until
1--WE can afford it." Hence it is
never done.
Everyone is requested to do all in
his power in the characterization
proposition. Talk to your foreign
friends and try to induce them to ap-
ply for first and then final papers
Judge Cant of Duluth has been placed
in charge of the work in St. Louis
County and it is through his efforts
and those of Clerk, of the Court J. P.
Johnson that it was made possible to
make Ely the central point for this
purpose in this district. Notices of
the meeting on February 18th have
been sent to Winton, Section 80,
McComber, Soudan, Tower, Embar-
rass, Peyla, Mesaba and intermediate
points. These points have also been
notified of the decision to issue
papers here. Section Thirty being in
another county will be unable to take
advantage of this ruling unless the
employees at this place are residents
of this county. It is understood that
many who are employed at the mine
there reside at Winton.
So far, Ely has not fallen down on
a single measure put forth during the
past years and will not fall in this
plan to make Americans of all our
people. Let us have Ely 100 per
cent American. Cut out the red
flag, Bolsheviki, 1. W.. w. stuff and

ELY WINS FIRST HOME GAME

ELY WINS FIRST HUME GAME.
The Ely basketball shooters
slipped one over on the Mountain
Iron team at the Washington GYM
nasium before large audience Fri
day evening. The game was warmly
contested from the first toot of the
whistle and the Ely boys took the
lead from the start. Some excellent
plays were made on both sides and it
is hard to say to whom individually
the honors of the game should be
given. N. Quickstead of Virginia
refereed the game to the satisfaction
of both sides. The score at the end
of the second half stood 26 to 13 in
favor of Ely. Tonight the Biwabik
team will be here to try conclusions
with the home boys and another good
exhibition of the popular game is in
prospect. Be there and help the boys
win.

SOME FINNISH
HISTORY GIVEN.
A PROMINENT SPEAKER !, SAYS
lBOLSEHEvISTs ARE
DEMENTED.

Mental influenza-sudden attack,
including the most violent BRAIN
storms, leaving terror, destruction
and death in its wake-thus Akseli
Rauanheimo, accredited agent of the
de facto government of Finland de-
scribed Bolshevism in an address he
made at Chisholm Wednesday night,
January 29).
Mr.. Rauanheimo is in America for
the purpose of placing before the
people of Finnish parentage or birth,
the real story of Bolshevism in Fin
land and to warn his former fellow
countrymen of the danger Of falling
into the error of confusing it with
movements of a real constructive
character. He was in Petrograd
when the revolution overthrow the
Gear. He was there when the forces
of Lenine and Trotsky overthrow the
early revolutionary party. He has
two sons in the White Guard which
is fighting Bolshevism and he was at
Helsingfors up to four weeks ago.
As the editor Of the oldest news
paper published in Finland and as a
member of the constructive political
faction of that country he is well ac-
quainted with the measures that led
to the revolution in Russia and the
work of the terrorists who pose as
public benefactors under the name of
Boishevists He is most and serious

most "virulent spiritual plague" the

Under a ruling recently made, Ely
has been designated as point at
which naturalization papers can be

and as far as Mesaba and intervening
points.
Deputy Clerk of the Court U. G..
Holloway of Virginia was in the city
Monday afternoon and laid plans be-
fore large concourse of citizens
and arrangements were discussed for
an opening meeting here on the
evening of February 18th at the

will try and induce every alien in this
vicinity to be present and advertising
