Washington, Nov. 2.-The most
immediate and impelling task for the
Washington conference is to prevent
the birth of another World war-thls
time in the Far East.
It may be also stated, the honest
belief of this government is that be-
fore there can be an effective limi-
tation of armament the Washington
conference must first remove poten-
tial causes of future conflict in the
Far East.
Thus is explained the reason that
prompted the American government
to provide for a discussion of Paci-
fic and Far Eastern questions in the
conference on limitation of arma-
ment, with a view Of reaching solu-
ton of these problems.
This also answers the question that
is believed to have been in the minds
of large part of the American peo-
ple-"Why was the Far East injected
into the conference" The answer
given to this question, however, pro-
notes another question-"What dan
ger is there of the United States 60
ing to war over Far Eastern ques-
tions?"
Speculation about what issues
might cause a war in the Far East
and what powers might become en-
broiled is dangerous, and, of course,
not humanity possible to forecast ac-
curately.

New York, Nov. 2.--Wilhelm of the
House of Hohenzollcrn, now saving
wood at his exile home-Haus Doom
in Holland-has just as good chance
Of going back to Germany as Kaiser
as / have. The difference in the two
cases is that l can't and don't want
to, while Wilhelm can't, but may want
to.
Americans ask the question, "Will
Wilhelm come back" perhaps more
frequently than any other about Ger
many. The answer is an unequivo-
cal "no," if words and deeds of the
days since the revolution in Germany
are any criterion. Germany doesn't
want Wilhelm back. Not even the
men who frankly strive for restora-
ton of the monarchical system In
Germany want him to head it.
He is, as the Germans say, ser
ledigt"-
TO the socialists of Germany-and
they are legion-Kaiser Wilhelm is a
auitter. He fled like a coward in the
nations darkest hour, they say, and
any attempt on his part or that OF
over-zealous friends to restore him
would be met with overwhelming OPP
position.
Germany proved what it thought Of
monarchists when it put a crimp in

MEETS AT MINNEAPOLIS

!, Minneapolis, Nov. 2.-Spread OF
the tobacco habit among school boys
and even girls was one of the sub
iects to be- discussed today at the
annual conference of the Minnesota
Education opened here. The confer
ence will continue all this week.
Educators planned to take up as
one Of the most important subjects
facilities for physical development
of children in schools. Physical de-
velopment, leaders said, is essential
to mental development.

rural school work and other import
ant branches of the educational sys-
tenn will be here for the program.
Mrs. Grace B. Thacker of the Be-
midi State Teachers college left last
evening for the Twin Cities to attend

PRESS WRITER DECL ARES THAT FORMER EMPEROR
WILHELM IS FINISHED; NO MONARCHY WANTED NOW
Those Who Want Monarchy Back Are Mostly Disgrunted
individuals Who Have Lost Money Position Through
Overturn-Released Officers Curse New Regime.

"Putsch" last year; and since that
time the national feeling hasn't
swung any more in favor Of return Of
a monarchy. The Erzbergcr demon
stration, demonstration against re-
action, showed that the Junkers and
the rabid monarchists who seek to re-
store the old order through assassina-
ton and terrorism haven't chance.
l would scarcely venture to assert
that constitutional monarchy, such
as England's, would not one day
come to Germany. But at the mo-
ment, the consciousness Of the people
is for a democracy. The eight-hour
day-about the only fruit Of the revo-
lution-pleases the German worker,
and he knows if monarchy returns
he will exchange it for an industrial
slavery of IL to IA hours a day at
low wages.
The men who want monarchy
back are, for the most part, dis
gruntled individuals, who have lost
money or position through the over
turn. Released officers curse the
new regime.
But for the average man, the re-
public is satisfactory. Its overturn
might perhaps come about through
over-heavy tax burdens, for the pro-
monarchists appeal to the ignorant
with the plea that things were better
"in the old days"- to point

Tuberculosis and Treatment
Explained Thoroughly BY
Able Speakers

The Woman's Study club met Mon
day afternoon in the Civic and Com
merce association rooms, and While
the attendance was not as large as
had been hoped for, due to counter
attractions, yet all who attended en-
ioyed the afternoon very much and
felt that it was time we'll spent.
After the business meeting pro-
gram consisting of two papers was
given, municipal Ownership of Pub
lie Utilities" by Mrs. J. H. Koors,
and "Trrigation;," by Mrs. A. e: Mel
son, which were we'll written and very
instructive.
Attorney e. E. Mcdonald was in
troduced by the president, Mrs. IL. E.
Bolger, and he made few remarks
regarding the good work the Min
nesota Public Health association is
able to do through the sale of Red
Cross stamps. He told how in the
early fall there were only II patients
in the Lake Julia Tuberc ulosis Sana-
torium, and that number had been
increase to 81, and how important
it was to get those affected with tu-
berculosis under treatment, as statis-
tics show that aver 90 per cent OF the
cases could be cured if treated before
they reached the malignant stage.
while after that less than 10 per cent
could be cured.
He in turn introduced Miss Bell,
the technician who had taken the
radiograms that were exhibited, and
she told in an interesting manner how
both the plain and stereoscopic views
were secured, and show it was not
through schools or colleges that one
learned how to get the best results
but by practical experience. Her talk
was we'll received.

MOST IMMEDIATE AND lNlPELLING TASK FOR ARMS
PARLEY IS TO PREVENT WORLD WAR in FAR EAST
Honest That Before There Can Be
Effective Limitation of Armament, Potential Causes
of Future Conflict Must Be Removed.

But, there is no doubt that the
United States and Japan have more
reasons to feel concerned about the
possibility Of a future war in the
Far East. than any other two powers.
Japan might be warranted, or feel
so, in calling her ally, Great Britain,
to come. to her aid in the event of
such conflict, under the terms of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
The United Statespi is utterly op-
posed to this alliance.
Article 2 Of the alliance provides
that "If II either High Con-
tracing Party (either Japan or. Great
Brittany should be involved in war in
defense Of it's territorial rights or
special interests y y. the other
High Contracting Party will at once
come to the assistance Of its ally,
and will conduct the war in common, ,
and make peace in mutual agreement
with it,
1t is true that the United States is
indirectly exempted from the appH-
cation of this phase of the alliance,
but equally true that this indirect ex-
emption is not due to the entire sat
isfaction of this country. In the 1911
renewal Of the alliance. it was pro
vided by Article ", "Sfould either
High Contracting Party conclude a
treaty Of general arbitration with a

PARENTS URGED TO VISIT i
]! DENTAL CLINIC FRIDAY
All-Day Dental Clinic. to Be
Held in Public Schools
,ss of Bemidji Friday


/ A dental clinic will be held Friday,
November 4, all day in the Bemidji
public schools. At that time two Min
neapolis dentists will be sent here by
the Minnesota Public Health associa-
ton, and with the assistance of the
school nurse, Miss Daily, will exam
inc the school children's teeth and
recommend attention wherever nec-
essary. ~ ..~.
1t is especially urged that all par
ents be present at. some time during
the day to see how the clinic is con-
Quoted.
Statistics show that on account of
poor teeth the mental and physical
development of the child is seriously
retarded and his general capacity
lessened. Of 100000 school chill
dren examined in New York, those
with two or more bad teeth were
found to average five months behind
in their school work.
''Decayed teeth have become so
general, due to carelessness, that
there are not enough dentists to fill
the decayed teeth of one-tenth of our
population" The aim Of these clin-
les is to prevent dental disorder,
rather than to cure them, and all up
-to-date cities are having intensive
campaigns to save the children's
teeth.
On Saturday, all day, the baby
clinic will be conducted, and three
other clinics to be held in Bemidji
will follow soon. All are made pos
sible through the sale Of the Red
Cross seals.

Soft Coal Miners Walk Out in
Protest to Abolishing
Check-Of System
APPROXIMATELY THIRTY
THOUSAND QUIT TODAY
Report Shows Nation Now Has
Sufficient Coal to Last
Only Short Time
(By United Press)

Chicago, Nov. "A strike of soft
coal miners spread rapidly throughout
the central states today in protest
against abolishment of the check-otf
system of collecting dues.
Miners in Ohio and Indiana walked
out. In Illinois, lows and other states,
strikes were considered by local or
ganizations. In the meantime chief
officers of the United Mine Workers
met at indianapolis. Instructions were
sent from the general union offices in
indianapolis to all locals instructing
them regarding the check-otf injunc-
ton.
If mine operators refuse to use
the check-off method it will be a vio-
lation of their contract with the
union, labor chiefs declared. Nearly
so, 900 miners had walked out today.
Washington, Nov. 2.-The nation
has reasonable supply of coal suf-
ficient to last from three weeks to two
months if the miners strike, figures
obtained today from government
sources and the National Coal asso-
citation showed.
With the HIST tOucneS OIL WlnCeE
already here, the coal reserve STU
alton was summarized by the Ma
tional Coal association as follows:
Household consumers have no
heavy stocks in the bin, but stocks
are available in the retail yards the
country over sufficient to last three
weeks. Taken together the stocks in
bins and yards will average approxi-
ately fcom three to six months supply.
Public utilities have reserved suf1i-
cient to last from two to three months
on all average. The railroads have ap-,
proximately two weeks supply with
another weeks supply on wheels.
Taken as a whole the association
said the public utilities and railroad
systems are virtually better equipped
than are other reserves.
