Five Measures Taken.
A Rumanian war council presided
over by Premier Gen. Ion Antonescu
WIS authoritatively reported to have
voted five vital measures designed
to strengthen the nation militarily
and perpare 1t for possible air
attack.
The measures were said to have
been taken at the advice of high
German army officers.
1t was reported the measures
were:
l. The calling up November 20 OF
youths whose military training nor
mally would not begin until next
year.
2. Immediate construction of city
afraid shelters.
3. Building Of numerous large
warehouses for war equipment and
supplies expected from Germany.
@The placing of orders at once
for quantities of raw materials
needed for war industries.
5-Investigation of all recent mill
tary air accidents, with the idea of
improving the Rumanian air force
At the same time it was announced
that German and Rumanian negoti-
ators who will meet at Berlin Octo-
Der Is will discuss the banning of
all exports except to Germany, Italy
and countries friendly to the axis, as
we'll as the immediate shipment of
$4,000 pigs. 5000 cattle and 5000
cars Of lumber to Germany

to Turkey and Greece were to
be discontinued. No reason for
the move was given. Athens
dispatches yesterday reported
suspension of oil shipments to
Greece. 1t had been limited that
the ban also would be applied to
Turkey.
tThese two countries are con-
sidered Britain's only remaining
friends in the Balkans Cutting
of oil supplies to them had been
described as a likely preliminary
to an axis move to the south
east.
Although reluctant to abandon
their 100000 900 investment in the
rich Rumanian oil fields and their
most important listening post" in
the Balkans, the British admittedly
were apprehensive of being trapped
by the advancing Nazis if they hesi-
tated too long. Many Britons al
ready have left the country.
Sir Reginald Hoare, British Min
lister to Rumania, remained at his
post in Bucharest, but it appeared
he had virtually exhausted all pos
sibilities of obtaining some kind of

officials which would permit Britain

the best of the argument. Veteran
Edward T. Taylor, Democrat from
the fourth district, will win easily. A
vacancy in the third district, due to
the death Of Representative Martin
will be filled, it is predicted, by a
Democrat. Representative Lewis is
a probable winner in the first dis
trict.
In some Democratic quarters here
it was said that, if. as the days go
on, it appears that the Roosevelt
administration is pushing this
country toward war with Japan, it
may lose the President votes.

FOR NEW NATIONAL
MEDLEY RECORD HERE

On Saturday afternoon, Dec. 7, the
powerful Virginia high school SWIM
ming team, coached by Harry M
Boardman, will meet the Memorial
high boys team in the Memorial SWIM
ming pool.
Virginia, last years state champions,
is reputed to have the best team in
its history and is classed as one of
the nations top ranking teams, &C
cording to Coach Ed Haapaniemi of
Ely.
The Virginia medley relay team
composed of Jay Seholtus, Archie
Harris, and John Farboni will at
tempt to officially set a new national
interscholastic 20-yard course record in
the 800 yard medley relay, Haapaniemi
said. The present record of 8 minutes
5 and tenths seconds (3:O5.O, was
set by the Theodore Roosevelt high
school medley team, Des Moines Iowa,
on Feb. 16, 1910.
In swimming the 3OO-yard medley
each boy swims 100 yards of a diff
ferent stroke. The first swims back
stroke, the second, breast stroke; and
the third, crawl. To make a record Of
fetal, it must be made in a champion
ship meet or a special application must
be made for the attempt. At least
three timers are necessary to time the
race.

DATA SOUGHT
ON MULE deer
Conservation Dept. Seeking
Information; Hunters Are
Urged to Help.

! The department of conservation to-
| day called upon deer hunters to watch
for the rare Minnesota black-tailed OF
mule deer during the coming season
Any hunter bagging a black-tail
during the II day shooting period that
began November Is should report it
to the department where the record
will be Of great scientific interest, of
ficials said.
The black-tail was first described to
science in 1899 by Charles Hallock for
whom Hallock, Mimi, was named It
differs from the white-tail-the COM
mon deer in Minnesota-in having a
black tip on its tail instead of white.
Another distinguished characteristic
of the black-tan are its antlers. The
antler prongs of the rarer species are
always divided into two. The black-tail
has larger ears than the Whitehall,
and also has a conspicuous white
rump-patch around the tail
Although originally found in north
western Minnesota. the black-tail has
been considered extinct for more than
30 years. There have been frequent
rumors it is still in the state.
Presence of this deer is of such
scientific interest that photographs or
mounted heads taken in past hunting
seasons-even 20 or 30 years ago-are
welcome, the department announced.

The winter census showed GA pei
cent of the fish were crappies, 10 per
cent perch, and the balance pickerel
and wall-eyed pike. In July, the
anglers got so per cent sunfish, "a
per cent crappies, and other game fish
in quantities of from 2 to z per ceent.
The spearing record during jan
uary, 1910 showed that 80 per cent
of the fish taken were pickereI.
They were speared at the rate of
approximately one half fish per
hour.
CCC youths made complete surveys
of several northern lakes which pro-
vided interesting information on
catches. These included:
Deer Lake, Itasca county, contain
ing 1,845 acres; fished only lightly, this
lake yielded 2,2O8 fish, mostly pickerel
and walleyes at the rate Of I37 fish
per man hour.
Island Lake, Cass county, 383 acres.
fished lightly for 1913 fish mostly
large mouth bass and sunfish; catch
at the rate of IA fish per man hour.

Memorial High Basketball Team
to Meet Hilltop Club Here Friday

Johnson are the teams midgets, the
former being foot eight inches and
the latter about an inch shorter. With
the exception of Bird and Johnson
the other boys are fairly rangy, and
will probably be able to hold their own
in height with most of the other schools
in district 81.
In practice session the boys have ap-
peared to have a well balanced club,
enc that may not set the world on
fire at the start of the campaign but
it undoubtedly will be able to turn
in its share of the upsets before the
schedule has been completed.
Chachich has been registering some
nice work in gathering in opponents
rebounds and will be looked upon by
Coach Smrekar to take care of this
important choir against Eveleth. Per-
kovich and Grahek have been perform
ing well in this department under Ely's
basket, and along with Logar and
johnson will be counted upon to carry
the brunt of the scoring play.
A year ago in the seasons opener
Eveleth vanquished green Memorial
high club, 80 to %, and from the in
formation available at this time the
Hilltop quintet has pretty good chance
of repeating the win. Considerable
can be obtained as to their
strength from the outcome of their

Mesabi range, Eveleth has a crew of
for the starting lineup. In

who can be counted on to make things
as tough as possible for Perkovich, at
center; Ray Coldagelli, speedy and
