View ofU. S. is That French
Policy is Responsible for
Plight of Europe
BELIEVE FRANCE HOLDS
KEY TO TODAY'S PROBLEM
Clemenceau Blames AS Lot of
Lies Senator Hitchcock's
Charges Against Him
(By United Press)
fBy A. L. Bradfordl

Washington, Nov. 24-The Amer
lean government regards with dis
tinct disfavor the views being ex-
pressed here concerning foreign pol
icies Of the United States by Georges
Clemenceau, the war premier of
France.
This was the answer given the
United Press by highly authoritive
source in response to an inquiry as
to whether there is not distinct
change of Americas foreign rela-
tions agreed in the main with the
attacks of Senators Borah and Hitch
cock on the noted Frenchman's state
ment.
1t is the view of this government
that the French policy which Glenn
enceau defends is largely responsible
for the present economic and politi-
cal plight of Europe. If France con-
tinues to maintain an attitude Of un-
bending repression against Germany
it is feared in Washington that the
German reparation question is the
root of the trouble in Europe and
that France holds the key to this
problem.

ed SO pupils at the Central school,
55 at the LINCOLN, 19 at the East ana
about 25 at the North. school who

from 1.-the receipts Of the dance TO-
nightssand other similar entertain
ments, later in the season. A por-
ton of the receipts will also be used

The Value Of milk for nourishment
for children underweight is being
nationally proclaimed Many other
cities have taken up a similar plan
through The agency. Of some such or
eanizatiiooIn and the drinking Of milk
is, being encouraged. Whether the
consumer be infant, invalid, or adult
of normal health, milk in some form
should be an important part Of the
daily diet, declares DR.. William K:
P, Emerson of the ;, Tufts Medical
School, and other prominent dietl-
tians. For the adult quart OF milk
day is a good health insurance.
For the infant it is often life saver.
For the child it is an indispensable
food. -. :

.,. Given by Association
Business Men Not Only Hosts
But Number of Them Also

In connection with the annual
meeting of the Beltrami County Farm
Bureau association and the general
farm conference held in Bemidji
Wednesday and Thursday, the Be-
midi Civic and Commerce associa-
ton served its annual dinner for
the farmers at the association rooms
Thursday noon.
Although road conditions prevent
ed as large an attendance as was
expected and hoped for, those who
did attend felt that the trip was well
worth while.
Not only did the association act
as host to the farmers at this din
ner, but a number Of the business
men acted as walters and served the
meal. The menu included roast
beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, cab
bage salad, rolls, apple pie la mode
and coffee. All reported TO have
done justice to the meal.
The business men who received the
farmers and who served the dinner
included E. Bartholomae, G. d. Back

Remarkably Well Balanced
Program Given by Noted
Soprano and Pianist
PERSONAL APPEARANCE
LENDS FURTHER CHARM
Next Number of Lecture
Course to be Given
by J. A. Burns Jan. ~

Music lovers of Bemidji, who fill
the auditorium to the doors, were
charmed by Miss Bertha Farmer at
the recital given in the Methodist
church Thursday evening as the Sec
ond number of the entertainment
course being staged under the aus
pices of the State Teachers college.
A remarkably we'll balanced program
was given. 1t is more apparent that
Bemidji is becoming a musical city
and never before have its citizens
had the opportunity of hearing an
artist of such merit on a local plat
form.
1t is indeed a happy combination
when the eye and ear can be delight
ed at the same time. Miss farmers
voice and beauty were enhanced by
magnificent gown Of cloth of sill
YER, over which net, deliberately en-
broidered in jet and green beads,
was draped.
In the choice Of her program, Miss
Farmer showed the influence of
France, where she spent eight years.
She possesses a voice of exquisite
quality, has it under her command at
all times, and has keen sense of
artistic Interpretation.
The last number of the first group
of songs, lie Printempts'' by Hand
ell, is one of the most difficult vocal
compositions, and is always used as
a final examination to students at
the famous Conservaitoire at Paris
Miss Farmer sang it in delightful
manner, showing to advantage the
flexibility Of her voice.
She was most gracious in respond
ing to encores, singing three: II
Love the Moon," by Ruebens; "Lil
Bit O. Honey, by Carey Jacobs
Bond; and "Annie uaurie."' Per-
haps the two numbers most appreciat-
ed by the audience were the "Waltz
Song" from Romeo and Juliette, and
"Little David"
Celius Dougherty, Minnesota
musician, proved most sympathet-
ic accompanist. Not for minute
did he fail to support Miss Farmer,
and never did the piano sound
heavy.
In his two piano numbers, he
showed excellent technique, and sec
ured a beautiful tone. Not with
standing his youth, he shows a mat
ure understanding of Franck's works
as was ably exemplified by his rem
dition of the Prelude, Chorale, and
Fugue. He was sparing in his use
of the pedal, and fastidious in the
enunciation of tones. He was en-
Enthusiastically received and responded

Bringing Life to Oil
Fields Once Hopeless
Oil Fields are Staging
"Come Backs;" May Soon
Yield Abundantly
By Lawrence M. Benedict

Washington, Nov. 24-Some of the
country's old oil fields, which were
believed to have been pumped dry.
are staging a big comeback" and
may soon be yielding more oil than
ever according to officials of the
United States Geological Survey.
The Tideoute fields in Warren
county, Pa, are an example. A short
time ago most operators abandoned
operation there. The wells that
were being pumped insignificant
flows and the general opinion was
that further exploration was waste
of money. The field seemed to be
dry.
One operator, however, had a
hunch that deeper wells run below
the present beds, would tap fresh
store of oil. He drilled we'll ITO
feet lower than the old levels and
brought in a gusher producing 500
barrels a day-a "gold mine".
Shortly after that, a new we'll
yielding 14O0 barrels a day was
drought in" in the old Unity Field
in Allegheny county, Pa.
4 The same thing has happened in
scores of old wells in other sections.
A striking example is the Electra
pool in northern Texas which for
years amounted to nothing but is
now one of the most productive fields
in the state. Many pools in east
ern Oklahoma ana eastern Kansas
have been rejuvenated recently, as
one deep sand after another has been
discovered. ~
The Geological Survey says that
now drilling in some of the old and
apparently barren oil fields is often
"better bet" than trying in new
and unproven sections. However,
officials warn that these old fields
provide very ample graveyard for
bank accounts. Before drilling IN.
one of them, the geological experts

gist.

Spirit of s* Opposition and
Unrest Strong; Leaders
:,..s;;: Are Still Hopeful
ONE BRIGHT SPOT IS
FEELING FOR PEACE
National Finance is One Of
Greatest Problems Facing
i, -, Irish Republic
/ By John O'Brien !

Dublin, Nov. 524,-Ireland expects
to begin about December 5 her career
as an autonomous state, facing a
mass of problems and dangers very
similar. to those which beset the
leaders Of the small few nations in
south central Europe as an outcome
of the great war.
There is the same spirit Of un-
rest and opposition more or less
armed and organized, to the consti-
tuted government, dislocation OF
business, personal rivalries and jeal-
ousies, lack of experience in the art
Of government, all complicated and
made more difficult of solution by
the intercinine warfare which follow
ed the withdrawal Of the British gar
risons.~::
The one bright spot on the poht-
ical horizon is the overwhelming de-
mand for peace on the part of vast
majority of the people-peace and
resumption of normal trade condi-
tions, prevented now only by the ac-
tivity of the. bands of "irregulars."
General Mulcahy, commander-ln-
chief of the National army, told the
United Press, however, that this ac-
tivity is merely the last despairing
outburst of the irreconcileables, who
are now without q central orgsniza-
tiol, Of effective] leadership in the
field. u, =.
~ VIII the ratification by the Brit
ish parliament of the Irish Free state
constitution, all Ireland comes under
te rule of the Dali Eireann and the
Dublin government. This nominal
unity is however, transitory, because
the North Parliament, sitting at Bel
fast. will undoubtedly exercise with
in the stipulated period of one month
its treaty right to "opt out" reserV-
ing final decision for a later date.
''Ulster will join US as soon as
we have demonstrated our lnablllty
preserve peace in our own territory,
said President Cosgrave to the United
Press, and he intimated that assur-
ances to that effect had been un-
officially received from Sir John
Craig. the Ulster premier, ad other
leaders of the northern section.
The recent boycott of Ulster goods
by the merchants of the South prov
ed that this part of Ireland is listers
