MASON New York, June 30.—The German commanders who are defending the battlefront north of Arras, which the French have been attacking for the| past six weeks, estimate that an aver- age of 100,000 shells a day have been fired throughout the offensive period. On one day the French fired 300,000 shells, which is the record of artillery power in consequence of a world’s record. Yet, despite the hurricane of am- munition thus rained on the Ger- man trenches, the French gains have been very small and without any major military influence. The most that has been done has been the cap- ture of the famous Labyrinth, which covers about one quare mile of in- tricately entrenched terrain. The labyrinth formed a salient in the German line, and was thus open not only to a frontal attack, but also to attacks against both flanks.. The normal German line has no exposed flanks and can be assailed only from the front. Must Arouse Suspicion. The disappointing result of the French offensive must arouse a sus- picion that too mueh emphasis is be- ing put on the effectiveness of con- centrated shell fire. Thus, in Eng- land, the people are being led to be- lieve that the war has reached a stage where it can be won in the workshops. It is only necessary to obtain an ascendancy over the enemy in the proper kind of artillery and ammunition, runs the argument, and the foe will then automatically be ex- terminated. But, if this reasoning is true, it is inexplicable that the French have been unable to make any serious progress merth. of Avras. Lloyd- George estimated recently that the Austro-Germans were now producing 250,000 shells a day. Among Three Fronts, This number, however, must be distributed among three fronts. There is no evidence that suggests that the Germans have duplicated the recent French record of concentra- ting a fire averaging 100,000 shells a day for six weeks along a front not more than 15 miles in extent. Yet the Germans have all but cleared Gal- icia of the Russians and in the re- cent Ypres battle they made greater gains against the English than the French have made north of Arras. Other elements than gunfire in modern warfare must not be allowed to retire too far into forgetfulness by. those who. are promising victor- ies yet to come. I is very possible that the constant emphasis now be- ing laid on the magical effect of a! sufficient quantity of high powered shells will lead to bitter disappoint- ment when the shells are ready.

With Tee-Cee, a new hesitation waltz included, H. Vieson, director of the Bemidji band, has announced the pmg'ram to be played at the regular weekly concert to be given Friday night. The program provides an ex- cellent entertainment which will be as follows: ence between represéntatives from the state federation of labor, the state labor bureau and the employerl’ a8~ sociation. The amendments of most i-mport— ance to the workmen are those in- creasing the maximum and minimum compensation, the former from $10 to $11 and the latter, from $6 to $6.50 a week. Minnesota will have the highest minimum of any state, the average being $4.70 ‘a week. The point is regarded as -important, as it has been found that 40 per cent of industrial accidents fall wnhln the minimum allowance. Loss of Hearing Included. Loss of hearing Is included in the compensation disabilities, the time for recommendation “being’ fixed at 156 weeks. The compensation ped- iod for permanent total disability is increased from 400 to 660 weeks and the maximum from $4,000 to $5,- 000. TFuneral expenses of $100 will be paid in all cases. -These former- ly were allowed only when there were dependents.. Thie list of de- pendents to. whom ‘compensation will be paid is increased and greater per- centages are allowed to widows with two or more children, and to or- phans. Reductions are;made in -certain specific classes of injuries. The com- pensatign period for the loss of an eye, with an arm or a leg, is reduced from 400 to 350 weeks and the maxi- maum from $4,000'to $3,850; the loss of an eye and a hand, from 400 to 350 weeks, and the maximum from $4,000 to $3,575; the loss of an eye and foot from 400.to 300 weeks, and- the maximum from $4,000 to $3;300. Servants Are Left Out. An effort was made to bring do- mestic servants, farm ‘laborers and casual employes under the provisions of this act, but the effort failed in the senate and these classes, together =] with railrgad- émployes, remain _ont:] side the scope of the act. In the case of dispute in court over the construction of the compensation act, members of the state labor bu- reau may appear as representatives either of the employes or the employ- ers and thereby obviate the necessity of employing attorneys. Employers are prohibited from. requiring their workers to contribute to the cost of insurance and the acceptance of any such now constitutes a misdemeanor. HUERTA REVOLUTION MAY MAKE PEACE IN MEXICO (United Press) Washington, June 30.—Govern- ment officials believe that a formid- able.

W. B. Stewart, county superintendent of schools, who had charge of the contest which closed | several weeks ago, announced yester- day that John’s essay on ‘“‘Clover” had received the highest mark among several which had- been ‘submitted trom different parts of the county. . -The prize essay, which will give the winner a free trip to the great exhibition, where he will be a mem- ber of the ‘camp, is well written and gives a definite idea of just what clover is, ‘and of what value it is to the average Tarmer. Fourth Boy to. Win. . John is the fourth boy to represent this county at the fair. = Alex Every- wind, an Indian lad of Cross Lake, won the honor in 1912, being the first hoy to win a free trip: In 1903, Olaf Krogseng, of Saum consolidated district, was the winner and last year the winner was Harry Bowers of Eckles. Following is the essay which will provide John with the fair trip: Came With the Lumberjack. “Clover was first brought into Northern Minnesota- when the lum- bermen- were logging here. . Clover can be adjusted to almost any rota- tion and for this reason shouldsbe mere commonly grown. The dairy farmer that neglects clover suffers a great loss, not only in the mneeds of the stock, but through the fertility that might be added to the soil. ‘““There are four common varieties of clover grown in Northern Minne- sota: Mammoth, Medium Red, Al- sike and White Clover.

DEER RIVER ‘MAN ARRESTED Ole Anderson, 'proprietor of the Lake Shore hotel and "soft drink” parlor, who won pmminence several weeks ago when lmpliCBted in an at- tempt. to introduce. liquor- into. dry territory in violation of the Indian treaty of 1855, using a milk can as a shield, was arraigned before Judge Hiram A. Simons, United States com- missioner, this morning and bound over to the grand jury of the Fed- eral court, which is to meet at Fer- gus Falls in November. Bond was fixed ‘at $1,000 and this will be posted. Several witnesses were called by the government, including Charles Benson, deputy special officer, upon whose complaint Anderson was ar- rected; A. E. Brown, local manager for Bridgeman-Russell, whose inves- tigation led to the finding of the can of milk containing six quart bottles of whisky and claimed by Anderson; Andrew Paulson, the Leonard hotel man, ‘who provided Anderson with the milk can, and J. H. Gray, local agent of the Soo Line and Western Express company, who identified the can and Whls'ky placed in evidence a8’ that received by him on the day of. intraduction as_charged. in. the complain Anderson, who is represented by ‘|Attorney John Gibbons, of ‘the firm of Andrews, Gibbons & Huffman, did not take the stand. The complaint charges that An- derson caused the can of milk, con- taining six quarts of whisky, to be shipped to the Bridgeman-Russell cream station here from Leonard. On the morning the can was received here’ Anderson caled at the cream station, notifying Brown that a can sent to Bridgeman-Russell from Leonard should be delivered.to him. In so doing he aroused the suspicion of Manager Brown and the investi- gation resulted. Paulson testified that he ‘does mot know who placed the whisky in the milk can, but that the last time he saw it it was in Anderson’s possession. He said that he carried the can from his hotel to the Leonard depot. A man known as J. E. Cline was ar- rested at Deer River this morning by W. W. Thomasen, deputy special officer, on a charge of introducing Plans are under way to establish a game refuge of the Ruggles timber on the east shores of Lake Bemidji and the proposition is being endorsed by all who have considered it. The reserve is made possible by a law which was passed by the last legisla- ture. Not less than 640 acres n;'ly be included in a refuge and the one suggested will comprise about 1,000. In order to establish the reserve a petition must be signed by at legst 25 voters of the county and sub- mitted to the game and fish commis- cion. Should it be approved the commission will cause signs to- be placed announcing that the tract is a game refuge and prohibiting the carrying of firearms on it. A .peti- tion to this effect has already been placed in circulation. g Refuge for Game. Game of all kinds soon discover that they are out of danger within certain boundaries and the refuges provide safety spots which assure animals, large and small, protection. Many communities of the stgte are taking advantage of the new law and the establishment mean that the days of the deer and moose in Northern Minnesota are not numbered as has been believed, and as the annual slaughters would in- dicate. The plan to make a reserve of the Ruggles timber deserves the support of all and will deuble the value of the land should it be con- verted into a state park, as now planned., Avery is Much Interested. Carlos Avery, executive agent of the state game and fish commission, who on August first will become com- missioner of game and fish, in a Te- cent visit to Bemidji became much interested in the plan to establish a-reserve and promised that he would assist in all ways possible. Mr. Avery understands the game ‘conditions in every section of the state, not only by a hearsay method, but by fre- quent trips of inspection and investi- gation, and he is anxious to promote any plan which might resuilt in sav- ing wild life in Northern Minne- sota. 8. C. Bailéey, the Bemidji game ‘warden, today received a large num- ber of bulletins which have been is- sued by Mr. Avery giving informa- tion concerning the state fish laws.
