e PLAN ATTACK ON VERA CRUZ Mexicans- Train . Guns on American Forces. HAS SIX THOUSAND MEN General Aguilar at Head of - Army Which Threatens to Drive Uncle 8am’s Forces From Mexican Soil. Wagers He Will Breakfast in City Sunday. Vera Cruz, Mex., Oct. 17.—Evident preparations on the part of a small detachment of men under General Aguilar for an attack on the American outposts around Vera Cruz have re- sulted in the strengthening of the American lines. Two hundred Mexicans are in a po- sition about halt a mile from the American outposts and they have two mouutain guns trained on the Amer ican soldiers. Their warlike activity ig attributed in Vera Cruz to overin dulgence in liquor obtalned at a house just beyond the American lines. The boasts that the Mexicans were about to inaugurate an attack that ul- timately would drive the Americans out of this port are taken more or less serfously on account of the per- sistency of the reports that Aguilar will not be able to restrain himself much longer and that the impatience of his men to enter Vera Cruz is rendering his control over them doubtful. Aguilar’s entire force is estimated between 4,000 and 6,000 men, with several pieces of artillery. It is re ported in Vera Cruz that Aguilar has made a wager that he will take break- fast in this city Sunday. AR AR RPN RS ALLIES EXTEND LINES TO THE SEA. Paris, Oct. 17.—The allied lines have been extended so that they now hold a line ex- tending from Ypres to the sea, according to the war office. As a result they will now be able to prevent any sudden flanking movement by the Ger- man forces which have been sent into Belginm. i fe e ok o HEAVY PENALTIES IMPOSED Drastic Action Taken to Rule Vienna Prices.

See Inconsistency. You are disloyal to your city support Mr. L. H. Nord for senator,’ says Mr. Wilson, but he does not accuse himself for being dis- loyal by opposing a home man, Judge G. Pendergast, for a member of the house. Mr. Pendergast’s friends can- not help but see the inconsistency in this and are not at all backward about expressing themselves. “In his attempt to discredit Mr. Nord he brings into play some com- ments Mr. Nord might have made and elaborates on the point, endeav- oring to show Mr. Nord as a Backus tool. If Mr. Wilson did write a let- ter to Mr. Backus intimating any- thing at all, and Mr. Backus did re- ply to that letter stating that he would support a home man, why should Wilson come out in his paper accusing Mr. Nord as a Backus ‘tool.” One could hardly blame Mr. Backus for making the Wilson letter public after such a statement. I expected to read the letter in the Sentinel this week, but was extremely disappoint- ed as were many others. If such a letter exists the public ought to know its contents. Would Meet Opposition. pon first hand information I have learned that should the voters of this district send Wilson to the senate, he would meet with direct opposition on the floor of that house, on practically every proposition which would benefit this district, and especially an appropriation for the normal school. Is this an argument in his favor? “The fact that all appropriation ADDITIONAL WANTS TO0 LATE TO CLASSIFY B WANTED—Storm windows to put on. Rugs to beat—anything. Call Blocker Hotel, Phone 387-W.

For Bemidji Always. I am for Bemidji-first, last and all the time and -am thoroughly con- vinced that my supporting Nord and Pendergast, will not only be doing what is best for-the district, but for the city as well. There are dozens »f others who will be glad to express themselves should you see fit to give :his communication publicity. “Thanking you now for giving this your kind consideration, I am, “Very Truly Yours, “A TAXPAYER, NOT A TRAN- SIENT.” Secured With Difficulty. Another interesting point concern- ‘ng’ the petition is the fact that it was only after several men of the city had refused, that a man was finally secured to circulate it. Do You Dread Your Meals?

Dated at Bemidji, Minn., this 17th day of October, 1914, CHAS. LUND. 1 want to make it plain to the vo- ters of Beltrami County so there will be no misunderstanding. For in making my canvass of the voters of ihe county I have found several who are under the impression that I am the one that started the contest for the Register of Deeds office after the last General Election held in 1912. Now these are the true conditions (as they existed) and the records in the Clerk of Courts’ office will show that Mr. C. O. Moon is the one that' started the contest. I simply de- fended my rights. For after the (Canvassing Board had canvassed the votes of the county they found that [ was elected Register of Deeds of Beltrami County by a majority of dve votes, and the County Auditor issued me my certificate of election. Anyone doubting this statement can satisfy themselves by consulting the teeords in. the Clerk of Court’s office. Very Respectfully Yours, J. 0. HARRIS. * OF BEMIDJI, .
