Wilson Accused
OF Inconsistency

BUENOS AYRES, Feb. 19.-A sum-
mary Of the main points in the Allied
reply to President Wilson's Adriatic
note, cabled by the Rome correspondent
Of LA Nacion," discloses that Presi-
dent Wilson threatened to withdraw his
signature from the British-French-
American treaty, establishing secur-
ity for France, to which the Allies re-
ply that such action would destroy ab-
solutely the "new French policy" for
which President Wilson invited pro-
lection
The fundamental points Of the reply
to President Wilson. according to the
correspondent, are:
First-The Allies answer the ac-
cusation of having prepared a con-
vention for the annexation of Fiume
to Italy, which presupposes bad
faith on the part Of Italy, by saying
that President Wilson is unable to
demonstrate this.
Dalmatian Problem Foremost
Second-The Italian petition for
the establishment of territorial con-
tiguity with Fiume is very small
thing compared with the cession Of
Dalmatia, which the whole world is
able to prove by merely examining
the map Of Europe.
Third-Vhe Al les observe that the
project of President Wilson, which
coMprehends the creation of buffer
state, has been rejected by the Jugo-
Slavs, and the Allied. ations have
been unable TO insist upon it.
Fourth-The strip Of territory nee
essary to establish the contiguity OF
Fiume with italy has not sufficient
value to justify procrastination in
reestablishing the peace OF Europe.
Fifth-lta!y entered the war in
spired by ideals at rAonlsnt.at least
as critical as that wien the United
States entered. She suffered sacri-
fees in blood and money incompar-
United States.
Point to Danger in Threat
Sixth-The President, in threaten
ing to withdraw his signature from
the Treaty of Versailles, which es-
tablished the security of France,
grave.y Injuries the very new French
policy-fo which he invited protec-
tion. He not only destroys the
value~of his first and most important
act, But annihilates it abso utely,
SINCE he shows that engagements
contracted in accord with this policy
can be destroyed lightly.
In drawing up the note LA Nacion's"
correspondent says the British dele
gates prepared the technical form in
collaboration with the Italians, while
the political sense of the document Is
that of the French delegates, who ex-
pressed themselves in terms of great
sympathy for Italy.

s. PER CENT OF TIRES
USED. FOR LIGHT CARS

IF Uncle Sans census takers had
paused while occupied with ringing
door bells and climbing stairs in their
task of counting heads in the United
States and turned their attention to
making an enumeration of lighter
cars in use in this country, their
tabulation would startle the automo-
bile owner" says an authority.
statistics made by manufacturers
and automobile clubs show that more
than IS per cent of all cars in the
country use clincher tires in 3Ox3,
3Ox31h and 31x4 sizes.
ut is apparent from this percent
age that there are more light car
tires being used in the United States
than any other size. This class Of
tire business is now the largest in
rubber industry.

CURTIS WILL WRESTLE
AT GRAND ON APRIL q

Another wrestling bout which
promises to be full of pep" and in
terest is scheduled, at the Grand the
atre for April 81, when l.. c. Cur
tbs, whom an Bemidji fans know and
admire as an. expert on the mat,
meets John Albrecht of Minneapolis,
who has been picked by Curtis as a
good match.
Albrecht geighs 1870 pounds, be-
ing in the light heavyweight class
and has p pounds over Curtis. He
is the champion of all in his class in
Minneapolis including the police
force and the fire department, and
has an enviable record attached to
his grist of experience.
Curtis has picked the heavier man
that he might have an opportunity
to show the Bemidji fans an excep-
tionally interesting bout. He is a
master at the art of wrestling and
has won several hard fought bouts
here this winter. His local admirers
will welcome him back to the mat
in this bout which promises to be
closely matched. Albrecht thinks
that Curtis has tackled a mighty big
proposition, but nevertheless Curtis
is very confident that Albrecht will
go some to pin his shoulders to the
mat.
Preliminaries will begin at 8
o'clock and this event also promises
to be exceptionally good. The match
will be staged at popular prices that
all Bemidji fans may have an oppor-
tunity to witness their favorite in
action again.

SUIT. BACBY TELLS
STUDENTS NEED OF
SCHOOL ADDITION
Parents Should Study Situation
So A to Vote Wisely When
Bond Issue Appears

That the students may in turn take
d hand at explaining to their parents
the necessity for adding to the facili-
ties Of the Bemidji public schools by
construction and addition to the pre-
sent High school building to relieve
the congested condition of the indus
trial departments, Superintendent
r. q. Bagby spoke to the essemblage
of High school students this morning
and explained why the board of edu-
cation has decided that the construc-
ton of such building was absolute
~ necessary at this time.
~ The High school building which
under ordinary circumstances, was
intended to care for approximately
800 students comfortably is crowded
with more than 600 at present, and
to. relieve this congested condition,
the board has decided that an addi-
tion to the present building must be
made. The addition as planned will
furnish about Is rooms which will
be used for the industrial depart
ments, including manual training,
science, home economics, agriculture
al and commercial departments. 1t
will be, under the present plans, a
separate building which will cover q
space of about 40 by 100 feet, locat-
ed at the southwest corner of the
present building, facing east. 1t will
consist of three stories and will be
made to harmonic with the style Of
the present building. It is also pro-
posed that, at the back of the larger
building, a one-story structure will
be erected for the use Of the manual
training department.
Not only is the district losing
thousa nds of dollars each year In
state aid by not having the proper ia
cilities for these industrial depart
ments, but the students are not re-
ceiving the training which they
should be getting and would be get
ting under the proposed system.
A bond issue to cover the amount
required will be placed before the
people soon and if accepted. the work
on the building will begin as soon as
possible To put over this project
which confronts the schools of this
city, every one is urged to lend a
hand. k =.

RALPH Oracle

Work of Clearing Brush Away

Suggested That a Hardwood
Tree Be Planted for Each

DRINKING FOUNTAIN
SIDEWALKS PLANNED

The board of park commissioners
has already begun operations to clean
up the park near the State Normal
which has been set aside as memor-
ial for Ralph Oracle, who lost his life
in the aviation service during the
world war, and after whom the local
post of the American Legion was
named. The brush is being cleaned
up and the grounds put in shape for
a spot of beauty for the city.
On the northeast corner OF the park
opposite the entrance to the Normal
school, it is planned to place a drink
ing fountain. Paths will be made
through the park at various places,
and along the west side will be con-
structed cement sidewalk. The
boulevard in front of the park will
be graded in fine shape and covered
with black soil. Seeding will be done
in the park and the entire surround
ings made a beautiful remembrance
to Ralph Oracle.
It is suggested that the local post
of the Legion make plans to plant a
hardwood tree of some specie at vari-
GUS places in the park for each man
who joined the service from this
county and made the supreme sacr1-
fee In case such proposition is
decided upon, the entire park will be
plated so that friend4or relatives OF
the fallen heroes may always treas.
ure the spot on which the tree repre-
senting each hero is planted. De-
vel0pment of the mark as it should
eventually be arranged will take sew
eral years, but it is the intention Of
the park board to make this site one
of the prominent beauty spots OF the
city.
