VOLUME 12, No. 172 WEATHER HALTS GIGANTIC BATT’ E Troops Suflering From Cold and Rain, Soldiers Finding Continued As- saults Beyond Human Endurance CAUSES LET-UP IN FIGHTING Crack Prussian Guard Thrown Back With Terrific Losses—Continue At- tempt to Pierce Allied Lines. (American Press) Paris, Nov. i4.—Weather condi- tions have caused a letup in the fight- ing between Ypres and the sea. The troops of’ both armies are suffering from cold and rain and a continued agsault is simply beyond human en- durance. The crack Prussian guard was thrown back with terrific losses, but attempts to pierce the allied line at this point is far from being aban- doned. New York, Nov. 14.—After a ca- reer of less than two years, the Auda- cious, third in tonnage and armament, his majesty’s warship lies at the bot- tom of the ocean off the north coast of Ireland. It was hit by a torpedo or disabled by a mine on Oct. 27. With the possible exception of one or two men, the whole crew of 800 officers and men were rescued by small boats from White Star liner Olympic. the ok bk b kb b L London, Nov. 14. — Indica- < tions point to another naval battle in the Pacific. The Ger- < man fleet apparently is re- maining close to the Chilean coust. Reports suggest Japa- nese and British warships are drawing in on the Germans. E R R R R R + + + % * L 4 + + Bl g ok London, Nov. 14.—The high tide of battle on the Belgian fleld has passed, #ccording to information from French official sources, and German might has failed as yet to win the way to the English channel. The statement from the French war office announces the fighting from the French border to the North sea has become less vio- lent, a circumstance which has mark- ed the passing of each of the preced- ing battles: Particular Interest was attached to the French announcement for the rea- son that the battle in Belgium is con- sidered by both sides as probably marking a definite turn in the general course of the war. German military headquarters gave out an official announcement as fol- lo! On the branch of the Yser canal at Nieuport our marines have inflict- €d heavy, losses on the enemy and we have taken 700 prisoners. During our attacks on Ypres, which have pro- gressed favorably, another 1,100 pris- oners have been taken. “Kierce KFrench attacks to the west and east of Soissons have been re- pulsed with heavy losses to the ene- my.” Allies Hold Ypres Key. Despite the masses of German troops that ceaselessly are being hurled against the allies, and despite attacks of unexampled violence that the allies are forced to sustain, the allies declare they still are holding the key position around Ypres. If the allies succeed in advancing beyond Ypres, according to British observers, the Germans will be compelled to abandon Lille and give up the attempt to reach the coast towns through Ar- tols. Advancing from Dixmude the Ger- mans succeeded in crossing the Yser once more, but only to be hurled back again, and the struggle continues not only from Dixmude to Ypres, but also along the seashore, where the Ger- mans are declared to have been driv- en out of lombaertzyde and are be- ing slowly forced toward Ostend. The Germans attach great importance to Lombaertzyde, as it commands the Nieuport tegion, and they are sald to be making every effort to regain it. Fog hampers both sides in this re- glon and in some quarters this is said to account for the failure of the Anglo- French fleet off the coast to get into action around lombaertzyde and the road to Ostend, both of which are within their range.

Members of Sunday School Class Will lhve Club Building at Wa-Ville —To Solicit Funds. OPSAHL DONATES PROPERTY Bemidji is soon to have a Sunday school Y. M. C. A. Plans for such an organization were made Friday evening by the Sunday school class of Mrs. M. F. Cunningham at the home of Mrs. J. J. Opsahl, where its members were entertained. The class is organized and belongs to the In- ternational Sunday School associa- tion. According to the plans a club house will be erected and efforts will be made by the boys to raise sufficient money to construct a building in which a gymnasium will be equipped. Should the boys, who are enthusiastic over the proposition, meet with sue- cess, J. J. Opsahl has promised to do- nate ground at Wa-Ville, across the lake, which will comprise a lot large enough to allow the building of a club house, tennis court and other athletic paraphernalia. The boys plan on raising the need- ed money by popular subscription and the building will provide suitable quarters for a kitchen, gymnasium and club rooms. Committees were named at the meeting and already are at work. These are the committees, one to frame a set of by-laws, one for build- ing and one for subscription. Morris Witting is president of the club. KX RE KRR R E RS * SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES * R R R R R Congregational (Nymore) Sunday school at 11 a. m. Preach- ing at 7:30 p. m. G. M. Peacock, pastor.

SCOOP [ cue REPORTER At a meeting of e Minnesota Commission Thursdl;h afternoon at the state capitol it Was decided to abandon all plans for a Minnesota building at the exposition and sub- stitute a modern Minnesota farm- stead. The site selecked for the pro- posed building two yégrs ago will be abandoned and one mope suited to the scheme as. outlined sl “ The seleétion of laying out of the larm. the planning and construction of the »necessary buildings and the equipping of tle same will be entirely in the hands of the State Art commission. Maurice J Flagg, director of the commission, wid leave for San Francisco Saturday night to select the site and prepare for the buildings, plans for which are now being made by the commis- sion. Work to Raise Funds. In the meantime, the commission, through Judge F. T. Wilson, acting secretary, will devote its efforts to- ward raising the necessary fund, practically all of which has been pledged. The change in site and the substitution of a model farmstead for the ordinary state building of or- nate design has the warm approval of the .expusiuon authorities and they will lend every aid towards it con- summation. Will Be Cheaper. The idea of a modern farmstead as "Minnesota’s contribution to the Pan- ama-Pacific Exposition has its incep- tion in the State Art commission and was enthusiastically indorsed by the Minnesota Commission at its meeting Thursday. It was shown that the proposed farm and buildings, while costing much less than the ordinary building for exhibit and reception purposes, would at the same time be a distinctive advertisement for the North Star state as the -plan would permit of a display peculiar to Min- nesota and afford profitable dissema- tion of informatien: &-eost 18 fig- ured at $36,000. To.have carried out the original plans would have called for an expenditure of fully $60,000. Prize Stock Exhibits. As planned at the meeting of the commission Thursday there will be a model farm home fully equipped from kitchen to parlor, a model barn, and granary, model dairy, piggery, Ot*t*tfitt*t"*t**t*fi*i*#**'*fi High School Team Disbands Aftér Completing Schedule of Six Games —Eleven Defeated But Once. 15 ATHLETES EARN LETTERS ~After a most satisfactory season; during which it felt the stung of de- feat but once, the Bemidii high school football eleven has disbanded.

Bemidji entered the game, played on the fleld of their oppon- ents, with the line-a wreck and the backfield crippled by the loss of stdrs, caused both by injuries and faculty action. This caused the team to enter the contest lacking the confidence and spirit which has characterized its playing in other games. Grand Rap-- ids refused to play a return game which had been scheduled.

The farm will be operated as a model farm should be and the help needed for its conduct will be taken from the agricultural division of the state university. The help will even be attired in suitable farm clothing. Wedge On Committee. While the time is rather short for the proper planting and raising of the necessary crops it is hoped to be able to put in enough plants to have the farm in full operation by the time of the opening of the exposition. The farm products which will be raised will be peculiar to Minnesota, and little trouble is expected in trans- planting them as California’s warm climate will aid materially . The Minnesota Commission which will co-operate with the Art society in the carrying out of the scheme consists of E. W. Murphy and F. K. Sullivan of Minneapolis; E. S.

DEER HUNTER SHUOTS SELF Archie Holtz, Hunting Near Kelliher, Has Narrow Escape When Gun is Discharged—Shot Enters Lungs. NEBISH REPORT FOUND FALSE With the big game hunting season five days old and the Beltrami county woods visited by hundreds of nim- rods, but one accident has to date been reported, and this will not re- sult fatally. Near Kelliher yesterday, Archie Holtz was injured when a gun which y discharged. - Holtz stunip from which hé had been searching for deer and in some manner the gun was fired. A charge of buckshot struck the metal of a snuff box which he carried and two shots entered his body, penetrat- ing his lungs. He will recover. This report was brought to Bemidji by Dr. E. H. Marcum, who has just returned from Kelliher where he and a party of friends have spent several days hunting. A report to the effect that a man had been killed near Nebish by a com- panion hunter was upon investigation found to be false. BRENNEN SECURES MOOSE. Bemidji Fireman Kills Giant Animal Near International Falls, Garry Brennen, driver of the Be- midji fire team, has returned from In- ternational Falls near which city he was successful in his search for big game, a monster moose, a monarch of the woods, falling to the aim of his rifile. While not many years ago moose were plentiful in the Bemidfi vicinity, Brennen is the first local man to kill one this year. The ani- mal weighed more than 600 pounds. Auditor George Returns. James L. George, county auditor, returned to Bemidji this morning from the twin cities where he spent yesterday attending to official mat- ters. Scott Stewart, chief clerk at the Roe & Markusen store, who under- went an operation at St. Anthony’s hospital several weeks ago, was able to return to his home on Dewey ave- nue this morning. He was expected to leave the hospital last week, but a second operation was found neces- sary.

Expect a Fight. A gallant battle should be thet put up by the Badgers and Gophers at Minneapolis. Critics are inclined to make Wisconsin the favorite, in view of the Cardinal's strong game against Chicago and Minnesota’s de- feat by Illinois. Besides the Bad- gers apparently are in the hest of shape, while Solon, one of the few experienced men in the Gopher squad, and from most angles, Williams’ most valuable man, may not be able to go: through the whole game. The astute Gopher mentor, design- er of the famous Minnesota shitt and other ground gaining plays, may, however, have prepared something planned to upset the dope. Stagg Has Three Stars. Chicago’s hope of retaining fta title as big nine champion depends oy the part its three stars, Gray, Flood and Albert, take in the game at Urbana today. - None of the.thres is:in Aesé- class shape, but each has a willing and able understudy and Coach Stsgg may arrange to give each a chance when the crucial periods of the game are reached. On form, Illinois is & favorite over Chicago and betting reflects that sen- timent, but the wizard of the mid- way has contrived the defeat before of apparently superior teams and glv- en his full strength, even for & short time, may turn the battle in his favor. NORD'S PLURALITY LARGE. Defeated Bemidji Candidate for State Senate by 1,438 Votes. Official returns of the Koochiching county canvassing board show Leon- ard H.

In Beltrami, the home county of Wilson, Nord was given a vote of 1,622, carrying it by 593 votes over the Bemidji man, the lat- ter receiving 1,029. This shows Nord to have been elected senator by a plurality of 1,438 votes, receiving a total of 3,031 to 1,693. The can- vassing board for this county has not completed its work. W. N. Webber, of this city, who ran on stickers, re- ceived several hundred votes. Invitations Are Issued.
