e VOLUME 13, NO. 167. FAILURE TO TAKE WARSAW P ELECTS ON HINDE™.]RG o,%‘ Absence of His Name From War Ne. May Mean That He Has Fallen Into Disfavor With Kaiser’s Staff. DEVELOPMENTS NOT EXPLAINED Difficult to Explain Why Von Mack- ensen Has Been Entrusted With Leadership of Galician Campaign By J. W. T. MASON. New York, July 14.—The long absence of Marshal von Hindenburg’s name from the news, while events of such vast importance have been oc- curring in the eastern battle area, suggests that there may be some truth in reports from Russian sources that the great East Prussian strate- gist has fallen into disfavor. It is improbable, however, that the cause of his eclipse is the enormous losses his armies have suffered, as Slav re- ports allege. Since the war began, the German leaders nowhere have been sparing of their men, and Von Hindenburg has but followed all precedent in this respect. If the field marshal is no longer in favor at the kaiser’s coun- cils, it is probably due to his fruit- less efforts to capture Warsaw, coupled with his absolute fearless- ness of criticism. At the outbreak of the war, Von Hindenburg was in retirement, among other reasons, be- cause of his comments upon the military genius of the kaiser. It would be in full keeping with the character of the man if he had explained certain German defeats, both in the east and west, since last August, in words not appreciated in the highest quarters. Difficult to Understand. It Von Hindenburg continues to hold the full confidence of the kaiser, it is difficult to understand why Von Mackensen, who was Von Hinden- burg’s subordinate, should have been entrusted with the direction of the Galician campaign.. Von Macken- sen’s selection Wwas in particular a blow at Von Hindenburg’s prestige, because the ultimate objective of the Galician drive is now being revealed as a movement upon Warsaw from the southeast. . This is the only available direction from which Von Hindenburg had not tried to reach the Polish capitol. Was Made Field Marshal. After the capture of Lemberg and just before the present start for War- saw, Von Mackensen was made -a field marshal, obtaining equal rank with Hindenburg. But the title has failed to carry the junior forward as it failed with the senior. Von Mackensen is now encountering that same characteristic recovery of the Russians which Von Hindenburg never was able to overcome. The re- sult may cause Von Hindenburg’s eventual restoration to favor, unless in the end Mackensen gets to War- saw. If that improbability occurs, Von Hindenburg's subordination muat be permanent. EUGENIC MARRIAGE NOT SURE CURE FOR CRIMINALS, SAYS JUDGE Cleveland, July 14.—‘Segregation of the feeble-minded for two genera- tions, not eugenic marriages, will stop the increasing criminal tenden- cies of juveniles,” says Juvenile Judge Addams of this city. “All but a very small per cent of the children who pass through my court are feeble-minded. One family, descend- ants of feebled-minded grandparents, has produced 132 feeble-minded chil- dren in the county and over 50 per cent of these have been convicted of crime. In boys’ cases, where feeble- mindedness is not too marked, won- ders can be worked with a bat, a ball and an open field. Healthful exer- cise and environment does wonders. These children shouldn’t merely be locked up. In these cases, jails merely are breeders of crime.” ST. LOUIS MAKES STRONG BID FOR NEXT CONVENTION Seattle, Wash., July 14.—The se- lection of the new member of the imperial divan of the Shrine order and the city which will entertain the forty-second council meeting in.1916 held the attention.of the Shrine coun- cil today at the second session of the annual gathering being held here. The new member of the Divan, cap- tain of the outer guard, will become imperial potentate in elevén years, if nothing intervenes, and the prize is the most eagerly sought in Shrine- dom. St. Louis made a strong bid for the 1916 council, already having raised a fund of $50,000 for entertainment purposes. The Missouri city Shrin- ers brought a huge balloon With them. It will be released tomorrow at. Woodland Park, during an im- mense barbecue spread for the bands and patrols of the visiting temples. ‘CHIEF MORRISON IN BEMIDJI |Says Opposition to Mixed-Bloods Caused By Few Dissatisfied Persons University Extennon Course Repre- sentative Encourages Plan Here |Bemidji Division to Be Given Ten-Day 3 Trip on Training Ship “Gopher” Next Month—Interest Shown.

Mr. Ton- ning complimented the officers ‘' of Beltrami county on educational. prof ress here and told them that they. d - arrived at a point where they were able to promote education properly, namely, by a closer relation betwéen the community and schools. Mrs. Jaques Interesting. The value of beautifying s¢hool grounds was interestingly diseussed by Mrs. Harriet F. Jaques, of Rob- binsdale, who is a member of Be- midji’s summer school faculty, Mrs. Kathlyn L, Bird, of Minneapoliy, aiso an instructor in Bemidji's samsier’ school, spoke on Parent-Teache % sociation.

Newcomb, secretary of the consolidated district at Hines. The children of that dis- trict have been greatly benefited by this school. Mrs. Newcomb told of how the Hines educational facilities have grown years to one modern and convenient institution. She explained that four teachers are now employed and that another will be needed soon. The enrollment there doubled during the past year. George A. Franklin, superintendent: of the Fergus Falls schools, and the summer school conductor, talked on “The Junior High School,” telling ot its benefits. His remarks were very interesting, Club Work Explained. T. A. Erickson, of St. Paul, spe- cialist of boys’ and girls’ club work, told of the accomplishments of these rural organizations. He showed an interest in the work which explaius his wonderful saccess in promotisg activities of the numerous clubs of the state. This afternoor he gave a practical demonstration ia csa- ning which was enjoyed by many. Miss Cathryn Mac@regor gave & pleasing recitation. The Summer School. Many of the officers were inter- ested spectators at class room recita- tions of the summer school. Music - was also provided during the pro- gram by ‘sumimer school-students. Bemidji’s summer school has an enrollment of 89 students, 11 more- than last year. This is undoubtedly training school in the state. This is accounted for when the fact is taken into consideration that the faculty is one of much excellence. The stu~ dents are to a large per cent experi- enced school teachers and the sessiofs is ome of the most succesaful ever held here. : . Stewart Much Pleased. ZEER W. B. Stewart, county superintend- - ent of schools, under whose direcfion the conference was held, was much pleased with the large attendance: “The conference is undoubtedly the- most successtul we have ever held,” he said at noon, “and I feel assured that it will result in much good.” GOVERNOR BEGINS TOUR St. Paul, Minn., July 14.—Gover- nor Hammond of Minnesota leaves to- day on a pilgrimage to the Panama Coast exposition, accompanied hy hi staff and a large party of state offi- cials and friends.
