French FORCES
GUARD TREATY
American Troops Are Expect
ed to Be Withdrawn From
Coblenz Soon
NV United PresS)

Paris, Feb. 19.-The withdrawal
of American representatives on the
reparation commission, formally an
nounced today by Roland w. Boyden,
has severed the last official connec-
ton of the United States with en-
forcement of the treaty Of Versailles
American troops still remain In
the Coblenz area but their position
is regarded as automatically unten-
able and they are expected to be Or
dered home at once. The abandon
ment Of that section Of the Rhine
territory, it is believed will mean
that the place will be taken by
French forces.
Occupation Of the Coblenz area by
French troops will permit France to
make another military demonstra-
ton against Germany In keeping
with the warning rendered yesterday
by Premier BRAND. He declared that
while France does not wish to act
independently of her allies che Is in
position to carry out on her own
responsibility those provisions of the
peace treaty which provide for mill
tary action.

CITY TEAM WILL PLAY
EXCELSIOR TWO GAMES
Northwest Champions of 1913
1919 Play Local Team at
Armory Next Week

Bemidji basketball fans are as
sured two fast games next week,
Tuesday and Wednesday, when the
Excelsior City quint comes here to
meet the Bemidji City team on the
local armory floor.
Practically the same lineup as is
c2rried this year won the indepen-
dent championship Of the Northwest
Tor Excelsior two years ago, and the
boys are out for another clean slate
this year. They have defeated all
the best teams in Minneapolis except
Battery A and the Ascensions, whom
they will play in March. They de-
feated the Como Athletic club ag-
gregation 80 to 1G and the Como
quint was defeated by Battery A on
the Battery floor by only one point.
The fact that Excelsior has won
eight straight games this year and
has not yet tasted defeat signifies
that two fast games will be assured
local fans, when the visitors run up
against the local lineup on the Be-
midi floor. Both games will be call
ed at 8 o'clock and large attendance
is looked for. The locals are putting
in regular practice in preparation to
give the Excelsior gang real battle.

ST. CLOUD HIGH
BEATS BEMIDJI
Locals Chances for District
Title Are Now Tied With
Downstate Quint

St. Cloud high schools basket ball
quint evened the count with the Be-
midji quint at St. Cloud last night
by a score of 20 to 10 and a third
game will now be necessary to decide
the standing between the two teams
for the district title. The deciding
game will undoubtedly be played the
early part Of next month, and Crosby
is mentioned as the probable neutral
floor.
Bemidji started the scoring last
night with a field basket by Stech-
man in the first few minutes of play.
The Saints evened the count with
two free throws and then took the
lead, piling up a score Of 10 during
the first half. BemidJi failed to
score again in this period. In the
second half, the locals showed up
much better and played the down
stat ers to 10 in that period.
Coach J. w. Smith states that St.
Cloud put up whirlwind game and
Ben1idji has no alibis to offer what
soever. Smith claims the locals fall
ed to play up to their usual stand
ard In the first half and lays this en-
tirely to the Bemidji team. The Sec
ond half proved much better for Be-
midi, but the boys could not come
back and make up for the big lead
gained by St. Cloud in the first
period.
Siminski and Ernst each netted
four field baskets for St. Cloud, the
Benidji baskets being made by Hig-
be-, two;' Lord, one; Stechman, one;
and Higbe two out Of four free
throws. St. Cloud netted seven out
of ten free throws.
A large and enthusiastic crowd
witnessed the game and indications
are that many followers will accom-
pany the teams to see the decisive
battle.

TEAMWORK" IS SUBJECT
OF TALK. TO STUDENTS
Manager of Crookston Lumber
Company Delivers Very
Interesting Talk

"TeamwoSk" was the subject chos-
en- by c. l.. listed, manager OF. the
Crookston Lumber company, in his
address to the students of the Be-
midi Business college on Friday aft
ernoon. Mr.. listed handled his sub
ject in a most pleasing manner and
his talk held the close attention of
the students.
- He stated that much had been said
in the past few years about eff
cheney, but THAI efficiency does not
go far anough. 1--WE must have team
work." said Mr.. listed, "by teamwork
l mean cooperation. Teamwork is
civilization. In early times there was
little or no teamwork. The savages
were independent Of each other, each
worked for himself in providing food,
hovel and clothing, and from the
birch tree made his own canoe. Our
forefsthers had their garden patch,
made their own clothing. candles,
and soap. They travelled by oxcart,
or on horseback. Through teamwork.
today we have machine made food,
clothing and many Of the necessities
of life.. We cannot make these things
as cheaply and as well as machines
can make them.
"Trade, commerce, and all indus
tries have sprung from teamwork.
If we should stop teamwork we would
revert to an unciviliZed state, but
we are not going to stop, but are
going on to better and greater things.
1.-THE recent war showed the value
Of teamwork. Germany was all weld
ed into one vast team for q single
purpose. During the first two or three
years Of the war the allies were
handicapped because they lacked
teamwork, but they finally developed
it on a great scale and soon won the
war.
abraham Lincoln showed his
power for teamwork when he built
up his cabinet and worked with
men who were antagonistic to him.
Lord Kitchner said If I had not
been able to get along with people
I would not have been able to get
along in this world
Crank w. Woolworth succeeded
in his five and ten cent stores
through teamwork with his employees.
Before he died, by this teamwork he
handled over a thousand stores in
the United States and seventy-five in
England"
In closing, Mr.. listed said. "Who
can produce teamwork? Teamwork
ers. those who can adapt themselves.
who can work with others. Only
those who can do this need expect to
win out. The person who expects
success an teamworker does not
look for sights or for trouble. lie
must be diplomat; his credentials
are unselflshness, tolerance, good fell
lowship, the kind of a fellow who
would give all and take and expect
nothing. Credit is usually given to
those who seek it least and deserve it
most, not to those who would monop-
olize it. Only teamworkers can rise
to the top under modern conditions.
Business today spells teamwork"
