BEMlDI STUDENT IS
HAMLIlQE CAPTAIN

st. Paul. Dec. 6-In spite of the
fact that Coach Baird has only been
holding three practices a week, the
Hamline university basketball team
Is fast rounding into shape and by
January 10, which is the time sched-
uled for the first conference game
with st. Olaf at Northfield, the team
will be in perfect condition.
Coach Baird has more material to
pick from this year than ever before
at Hamline, as six letter men are
back. John Kobs. who played with
the st. Pau1s last year. is working at
one forward, while Randall Kratz,
captain last year, is working at the
other. This will undoubtedly make
as strong a pair Of forwards as will
be found in the college conference.
Captain Gainey and Earl Cramer
seem the most likely candidates for
the guard positions. but such men as
Gloon, Scott and Henema will make
strong bid for a position. Ernest
Hanson is fast rounding into shape
at center. Hanson played forward on
last years quintet, but because of
lack Of material for center he was
shifted to that position. Gilman. a
freshman, is showing considerable
ability as a forward and will give
more Of an account Of himself as the
season progresses.

COAL STRIKE CUTS
OFF BEMIDJI TRAINS
=

The coal strike has struck Bemidj il
business squarely-* ON the nose. for
this nfofaing, the Great Northern
railroad cut off the train that arrives
in Bemidji from Cass Lake at 8:15
O'Clock in the evening and the term
mus of the run has again become
Cass Lake, instead of Bemidji. How
ever, there is every reason to believe
that the train will be restored when
the shortage of coal is again relieved,
but in the interim those along the
line will be unable to come to Be-
midji to do their usual shopping.
Two M. & l. Trains Off.
George a. Walker, agent of the
NJ. |. railroad in Bemidji today
served notice to The Pioneer that
upon instructions from the regional
director, owing to the lack Of coal,
that, effective December 8, trains No.
81 and No. 80 will be annulled be-
tween Brainerd and kelliher Train
No. 81 will run Monday morning. on
December 8.
Trains No. 33 and "a will make

(United Press Correspondent
Paris, Dec. 6.-Allies were today
prepared to state a new triple inva-
sion of Germany would be made, II
she refuses to sign the protocol to
the peace treaty. The press and pub
lie alike are confident the virtual ul-
timatum will be dispatched to the
German government within forty
eight hours.
Preparations for a decisive military
blow are already under way. Under
the armistice terms the allies can de-
nounce that agreement upon three
days notice, re-esta blishing state Of
war.
1t was learned authoritively, how
ever. they will probably give Ger
amny another chance to sign the pro-
tocol and agree to the execution Of
the peace treaty, before denouncing
the armistice.
Owing to Germany's attitude, the
French government is considering
mobilization of all aviation sections,
as we'll as recalling the younger class
es of demobolized infantry, 1t was ru-
mored today.
II further occupation Of Germany
is necessary, these steps will probably
be taken soon, it was said. They will
follow the conference between Field
Marshal Wilson of Great Britain and
Marshal Foch. Military plans to en-
force terms Of the armistice have been
completed.

Amazed by What He Saw at
Crookston Co.'S Camps;
Men Contented
MODERN CONVENIENCES
AND BEST OF FOOD
Finest Sleeping Quarters He
| Ever Saw in Camps; Also
Shower Baths

Roe P. Chase, editor Of the Anoka
Herald, returned to his home Friday
evening after having spent several
days in the camps of the Crookston
Lumber company.
pose Of satisfying himself as to
whether the rumors, which are being
spread in the large centers about dis
contentment in Northern Minnesota
lumber camps, were true.
He was simply dumfounded at
what he saw.
."If I told all the truth, they
wouldn't believe it," said Mr.. Chase
upon his return from the camps at
Nebish, located on the Minneapolis,
Red Lake and Manitoba railway,
north: of Bemidji.
. TT certainly is a wonderful sight
and if, anyone wishes to satisfy. him
self taat the rumors 'pedd1ed" by
the 'red" element are lies of the
blacklist type, he has but to take a
trip as 1 did.
Camps Are Contented.
"Why, these camps simply breathe
the air of contentment The men
have the finest sleeping quarters I
ever saw in any camp, be it army or
navy. They have fine shower baths,
get papers and magazines to read,
play cards and are set before tables
loaded with the best things to eat
foun anywhere Gosh! If were to
set a table like it at home I'd go
broke.
No Complaint.
There is no kicking on the part of
anyone. l took pictures by the hum
dred and talked with the men, to
learn from them just how they felt.
l talked with the Crookston COM
pany's logging superintendent, B. W.
Lakin, and he advised that the COM
pany had no fault to lind with the
work done by the men. He stated that
the men were all doing a good days
work and were turning out just as
much lumber as they ever did. It's
a case of satisfaction all around"
Read In Magazine.
Editor Chase has arranged to have
his findings published in some of the
big national magazines, Leslie's, Col
liers, or the Literary Digest. These
publications are anxious to get at the
truth of conditions and have, there
fore, engaged the services of Mr..
Chase, who has reported findings
generally throughout the Northwest,
especially the state of North Dakota.
