b 4 i § S Jet e R WOULD MAKE CINCINNATI AN INLAND SEAPORT. Cleveland, Feb. 15.—Commercial and shipping interests in Cleveland, |in the field, has aroused friends of Toledo and Cincinnati are in co-|the other candidates and much work operation today in a $27,000,000 plan to construct a lakes to the gulf deep’ waterway that will make Cin- cinnati an “inland seaport” and en- able Great Lakes vessles to cruise to New Orleans and the Pacific via Panama canal. i Deepening the Erie-Miami canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio river is the project. This, it is pointed out by the backers, will also afford flood drainage protection for those sec- tions of Ohio endangered annually by spring floods and serve the double pur- | the interests of the city. pose of providing an all water outlet southward for the vast commercial products of the Central West. The ship canal project will be put before the Ohio legislature as a substitute for several flood prevention measures now pending before that body. State and eventually national funds, will be asked to make the in- land waterway possible within the next three years. Advocates of the plan say it will prove an economical solution of Ohio’s flood situation and at the same time throw to Great Lakes ports the Panama canal business that Pittsburg and other cities are seek- ing. Estimates for adequate flood protection are in excess of the neces- sary for the ship canal, it is claimed. Twice during the past fifteen years the project has been surveyed by en- gineers and found practicable. CERAMIC SOCIETY AT DETROIT Detroit, Mich., Feb. 15.—Detroit today was the host to one of the larg- est of its winter conventions. Dele- gates to the seventeenth annual con- vention of the American Ceramic so- ciety met here for a three-day “ses- sion. Leaders in the pottery indus- try from all over the United States and Canada were here to participate in the meeting. Last evening at eleven o’clock, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Pa- quin of Doud avenue, died. The funeral will be held tomorrow after- noon at 2:30 from the house. H. W. Haines, manager of the St. Hilaire Lumber company, has gone to Grand Forks and Fargo, where he will spend several days on business.

It is important that a large vote be had. Bemidji has’ cast 800 or more votes for several years and to cast less than 700 will tend to give the impression that our population is not growing. Every voter should] cast his ballot tomorrow. The polls will be open till 9 o’clock. in their behalf has been accomplish- ed, the chief cry being to defeat the socialists, and this result has every indication of attainment. Last year not a single socialist was elected to office, and the same result is expected at the polls tomorrow. McCuaig Appears Winner. That Mayor McCuaig will be re- named is conceded by many. He has served as head of the administration for two years and at all times has endeavored to act in a way best for Judge Hi- ram A. Simons, one of his opponents, has conducted no active campaign, having entered the race at the re- quest of friends, and it is expected that he will receive about the same vote to be accorded Kaplan, who is the socialist nominee. BRANDT BELIEVED SLAIN (Continuea rrom Page 1.) sian army have been slaughtered there, I think it is likely that Brandt is among them. I think I would have heard from him if he were alive. “‘He was not required” to make parole reports,” Mr. Towns continued. “ ‘He probably will never come back to this country, but his record here is clear. He kept all the require- ments attached to his pardon by Gov- ernor Sulzer.’” “Brandt left the United States in February last year, because a chorus girl with whom he had fallen in love refused to marry him. He said he intended to never come back, and gave his friends here no inkling of where he was going.” Folke Brandt came to Minnesota immediately after being pardoned by Governor William Sulzer of New York. Senator Knute Nelson, who had ‘been partly instrumental in ob- taining a pardon for Brandt, sent him to Minnesota, where he came under the protection of A. O. Eberhart, then governor, and J. A. O. Preus, then insurance commissioner. He was followed by detectives from New York| to Washington, then to St. Paul. Watchful eyes were on his every movement for the fortnight he was in St. Paul. To escape the detec- tives, employment was obtained for Brandt in Bemidji, but spies got on the trail. What their object was could never be learned. While not alarmed, the constant spying event- ually got on Brandt’s nerves and he Lycan is Deserving. For alderman-at-large, Frank 8. Lycan should be elected by a substan- tial majority. A successful business man, possessing every qualification for the office, progressive and being of exceptional executive ability, he would be an honor to the city as president of the council. Mr. Lycan should receive the careful considera- tion of every voter in marking his preference for alderman-at-large. Active Opposition. The socialist campaign against Mr. Lycan has been active, as has it been against Thomas Lloyd, who is a candidate for re-election as asses- | sor. Mr. Lloyd has made a most ca- pable official, understands the work] of the office perfectly and is deserv-: ing of alarge majority. For city clerk and city treasurer the present incumbents are candi-| dates for re-election and their suc- cess at the polls is practically as- sured. George Stein, city clerk, and: George Rhea, treasurer, are extreme- ly well fitted for the offices to which they desire election and their records are strong .enough endorsements to. |secure for them the vote of every | citizen.

GERMANY NOT TO CHANGE PLANS (Continued from Page 1.) most forceful commander of the war. The proposed Russian advance into East Prussia is now seen to have been made with far too few men, and to have covered far too great a front. By using the strategical railway along the German frontier, Marshall Von Hindenberg has driven off the Slavs, almost overnight. The effect of the victory must be great because of the aroused feeling of optimism in Petrograd during the week. Petrograd announced a de- finite ascendance had been _gained over the Germans, only to receive a mocking echo of the East Prussian reverses.

Send Strong Guard. The_Austro-Germans have during the week succeeded in sending a strong advance guard through the Central Carpathians. Highways in Galicia leading to Przemysl and Lem- berg from the south are now in Teutonic possession, although a fur- ther offensive is. apparently awaited in the transportation of artillery through the snow of the Carpathians. The British air raids are reported from German sources to have done no damage, and judging from pre- vious aircraft endeavors, this is prob- ably correct. In the western theater nothing of importance has occurred. The German government is prepar- ing to take over the food supply. This does not mean that the nation is in danger of starving. There is probably enough food for all, if the people agree to the reduction in ra- tions. It is always dangerous to limit the supply of rations for a pro- longed period. The reduction of the food supply has always caused dis- satisfaction, which is often more dangerous than the remote danger of shortage. New York City is to have a house f detention for wome!
