FREE GERMANY.

rVNHE limitation OF armaments by agreement among the
great powers is the most vital problem in the world
today according to Senator Borah.
Everybody who has given any study or thought what
ever to the world situation will agree with him.
Not the least interesting phase Of the disarmament
problem in its economic aspects is the situation in which
the allied nations find themselves in respect TO Germany
BY forcing Germany 10 disarm both on land and sea
they relieved her Of a great financial burden
This will be big factor in helping Germany toward
her ambition TO win the economic supremacy OF the world
II the allied nations continue To tax themselves to keep uI

HARDING'S NAME DRAWN
INTO N. D. RECALL FIGHT
Nonpartisans Issue Challenge
to Independents to Get
His Word of Favor

Fargo, N. d., Oct. 26.--The name
of President Harding was dragged
into the North Dakota recall fight
today.
N6npartisans challenged the 1nde-
pcndcnts to get zone word from
President Harding that he is support
ing the recall or their efforts to quash
the Nonpartisan program
The challenge was hurled by Gut
zon Borglum in q speech at Mandan.
Most Of the old party politicians have
tried to keep out of the fuss because
party lines are buried here and no
old party principals are directly in
volvcd
Senator McCumbcr is the only one
who has expressed himself on party
principles. He announced his desire
to establish a law providing for the
election Of state officials without par
ty designation. Efforts to get Nc
Cumber to announce himself on one
side or the other of the recall were
without avail. Charges of fraud and
contemplated fraud were thrown by
both sides today. Independents
charged Nonpartisans were contem-
plating statewide violation of the
corrupt practices act.
Nonpartisans continued to charge
duplicating of signatures by the re-
call parties. They charged irregular
itv of publication and circulation of
pamphlets required to be printed and
circulated under the election laws.

Dollar Day, Wednesday, November

gains being offered by local mer-
chants for that day, if they will only
take the trouble to read the an
nouncements of various merchants
who are concentrating on the one
idea-to make a buying holiday on
that occasion.
Rare bargains are offered in nearly
every instance and it is remarkable
that the merchants are showing SO
much interest in this idea.
The sentiment of the dealers Is
expressed by what one merchant was
heard to say: "Wc're going to give
them merchandise that they will not
want to resist, and charge the loss to
The customers will bene-

Nearly every Industrious store in
the city has entered into this plan
and all are trying to make this event

A very important meeting of the
Red Lake Drainage and Conservancy
Board will be held in the court house
in Bemidji, Friday, October 2S, at l
o'clock. C. G. Selvig, chairman of the

The meeting has been called to
hear arguments on the establishment
of a maximum and minimum lake
level for Red lake in connection with
the flood control and drainage prof.
ect which is to be established on the
Red Lake river at the outlet. A new
level is to be established and as there
is a difference of opinion as to the
level at which the lake should be
maintained, this meeting has been
called to give an opportunity for the
presentation of facts concerning the
proposed level. The level will be es-
tablished by the drainage and con-
servancy board and the findings sub
mitted to the department of the in

Judge c. w. Stanton Affirms
Judgment on Municipal
Court Test Case
RULING, SHOWS CITY
ACTED WITHIN POWER
Ordinance Forbids Sale of Soft
Drinks at Retail Without
NJ
LicEnse

On May 2, 1921, Ordinance No.
12O was adopted by the city OF Be-
midi which forbids the sale OF non
Intoxicating beverages at retail with
out first having obtained a license
therefor. Some time after Frank
Hubert was convicted by Municipal
Judge Gibbons under the above Or
dinance of selling without license:
The judgment was appealed and
Judge C. w. Stanton of the district
court has given a ruling on the case
which affirms the judgment Of the
municipal court. The opinion OF
Judge Stanton follows:
''This is an appeal by defendant
on questions Of law alone from judg-
ment of convection in the Municipal
Court of the City of Bemidji, in said
county, upon complaint charging de-
fendant with the violation of Or
dinance No. 120 of the City of Be-
midi, Minnesota, which ordinance
forbids the sale Of Notwithstanding
beverages, at retail, without first hav-
ing obtained a license, therefor.
The appeal is submitted upon the
record and files in the Municipal
Court, under written stipulation made
by T. C. Bailey, City Attorney, Gra-
ham M. Torrance, County Attorney,
and P. j. Russell, attorney for de-
fcndant, and without argument. From
the files it appears that in Municipal
Court defendant interposed a de-
murrer to the complaint on the
grounds that the same does not
charge public offense under any law
of the State of Minnesota, or under
any valid ordinance Of the City of
Bemidji, which demurrer was over
ruled by the trial judge and Judgment
of conviction subsequently entered.
The only question Of law presented
by the appeal, as disclosed by the
record and files, is whether the trial
court erred in making his order over
ruling the demurrer. 1t seems clear
that he did not err. Ordinance No.
1870 was adopted May. 2, 1921. The
authority of the City to so ordain
was expressly conferred by the legis-
lature in the enactment Of Chapter
1872. Laws of 1919.
"It is therefore ordered and ad-
Judged that the judgment of the
Municipal Court of the City of Be-
midi herein be and the same is here
by affirmed"

DEATH RATE LAST YEAR
INCREASES OVER 1919
Census Bureau Shows Rate in
Registration Area Was
1871 Per Thousand

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2G.--The Depart
ment of Commerce announces that
the Census Bureaus annual report
on mortality statistics, which VIII De
issued shortly, shows l,l4Z,oIo
deaths as having occurred IN l92o
within the death registration area
of continental United States, repre-
scnting a death rate of 13.1 per l,O0O
population as compared with 12.9 IN
1919, which was the lowest rate re-
corded in any year since the regis
tration area was established in 1900.
The death registration area (exclu-
sive of the Territory of Hawalll IN
1920 comprised "a states, the Dis
trict of Columbia and 16 registration
cities in n-registration states, with
q total estimated population of S4,-
4S6,7l3, or S2.2 per cent of the es-
timated population of the United
States. The state of Nebraska was ad-
dcd to the registration area in 1920,
so that at present the only states not
in the area are Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, New
ada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ok
lahoma, South Dakota, Texas, West
Virginia and Wyoming. Figures for
the territory of Hawaii will appear in
the report, but they are not included
in this summary.
The death rate from pneumonia
increased from 1875 per 1000 in
1919 to 1878 in 1920. For chronic
diseases of the heart the rate in
creased from 13l to 141.9; for can
Ger, from sos to SO. Some of the
diseases for which the rate increased
are whooping cough, measles, cerebral
hcmorrhagc, congenital debility and
malformations, puerperal fever, scar
let fever, and appendicitis. The fatal
tiles caused by automobile accidents
end injuries show an increase from
o. per 100000 in 1919 to 10.4 in
1920.
A marked decrease is shown in the
death rate from tuberculosis, which
was 114.2 in 1920 as compared with
1856 in 1919; also in the death rate
from influenza, II in 1920 as against
98.S the year before. The death rate
from suicide declined from ia in
1919 to 1912 in 1920. There was a
decline also in the rate for typhoid
fever and in that for accidental
drowning.

is Apt to Prove an
Obstacle to Limitation of
Land Armament
NAVAL SITUATION LOOMS
LARGEST IN CONFERENCE
France Now Has the Largest
Organized Reserve Force,
Excepting Italy
, By A. L. Bradford

(United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Oct. 26.-France IS
likely to prove a stumbling block IN
efforts to limit land armament in the
coming Washington Conference.
TIE position of France has been
hcr led far and wide ever since
President Hardings call for the
Washington Conference as being de-
tcrmincd not to cut down her present
huge military establishment unless
the nations of the world guarantee
her security against the "Gcrman
menace
1t is obvious that the world naval
situation looms largest in the Wash
ington Conference. The efforts Of the
foreign statesmen gathered here to
"limit armament will be principally
directed to slowing down the present
competitive race in warship construc-
ton between Great Britain, the
United States and Japan.
But observers here point out that it
must not be forgotten that the great
est war of history, the World War,
was a conflict Of armies and not of
navics. So, it is argued, since the
Washington Conference is, in a sense,
Il peace conference, the parlcy might
partially defeat it's own end by not
giving serious consideration to the
question of limiting land armament.
When the conference takes up the
limitation of land armament, France
is expected to make it known to the
foreign plcnipoticntiaries' here that
she cannot restrict her military estab-
lishment unless one of two things
are done:
|. Ratification of the agreement
drawn up during the peace confer
ence at Paris between the United
States and Great Britain and France
by which the first two nations guar
anteed to come to the aid Of France
in the event of an attack by Ger
many on the latter country.
2. Some other guarantee by the
powers of the security of France in
the event of such danger, to take the
place of the Paris Defensive Alliance,
which the United States refused to
ratify:
France also may put forward the
argument at the Washington Confer
ence that she cannot restrict her ar
my because it has been by her mill
tary establishment that she has forced
Germany to carry out the terms of the
Versailles Treaty, and that this will
be the only way in which Germany
can be forced completely to execute
the treaty in the future.
The position Of France in the con-
ference will be important for two
principal reasons:
-, !. France has under arms the
largest organized active army in the
world today.

THIEF RIVER FALLS TO
PLAY BEMIDJI FRIDAY,
Pennington County Eleven Is
Anxious to Wipe Out All
Previous Scores

After six weeks Of intensive train
ing, during which the slogan has been
"Beat Bemidji," Coach Stenhotf has
rounded the Thief River Falls team
into form for the clash with the Be
midi squad, winner of last years
state title, here Friday afternoon at
2:3O o'clock.
Next to winning the Northwestern
or State championship, Thief River
Falls would rather emerge victorious
from the Bemidji game than to gain
any other laurel this season. The
spirit arises from the two defeats
handed the Pennington county eleven
in 1918 and 1920, by scores of 80 to
0 and 40 to 0, respectively.
With veteran team, consisting
practically Of the same players as
the 1920 squad, Thief River Falls
hopes might be realized against
Coach Smiths green and inexperi-
enced team. Coach Stenhoff's eleven
has trained for the Bemidji clash as
though the state title were at stake.
Coach Stenhoff is satisfied ne Will
present formidable eleven.
Coach Smith of the local eleven
put his team through two of the
hardest scrimmages Of the season
Monday and Tuesday afternoons.
The backield will no do1bt smash
the line harder in Fridays battle than
it has at any time this season, and the
interference has shown a marked i'm
provement in the last two scrimmagcs.
Tonight will end the last hard
scrimmage for the week, while Z. to-
morrow afternoon will be devoteE to
mock scrimmage and signal practice.
