There is another phase of this mat- ter which is as grave as it is aston- ishing and reprehensible. For nearly a year the treaty of 1855 and statutes since passed, have been con- strued as applying to this Northern Therefore, it applies to all the territory and not to part of it, or certain units against which the officials may elect to enforce the regu- lations, according to their own pleasure and choice. But instead of wiping out all the saloons in the territory in question, some one is surely guilty of malfeasance in clos- ing up the saloons in this or that town, and winking at the same al- leged offense in other towns.

There are men in Bemidji who hold, and to whom have been granted recently, government liquor revenue tax certificates or licenses. These same men are forbidden to sell liquor by order of the Indian department, in which connection the Grand Rap- ids Herald-Review says: In the recent action of the De- partment of the Interior through the bureau of Indian affairs, in closing up the saloons of Grand Rapids, there comes to light a queer situation in the management of the various de- partments at Washington. The rev- enue department sent out through its state collector of internal revenue the government licenses to dealers here, at the very time when another department of the government had reached out its hand and summarily closed the places the revenue depart- ment had licensed. The two departments do not seem to work in harmony, nor one depart—l ment know what the other is doing. There seems to be no excuse for this, and in faet it is open to severe critiw cism and has been severely criticised | in many quarters now and hefore} this. Ignorance of one department' as to the acts of another department,; is no valid excuse, any more for the} government than is ignorance of the law an excuse for criminals. So far as the revenue department is concerned the saloons in Grand Rapids, with their crisp and freshly engraved licenses for another period tacked on their walls, are duly au-| thorized by law to continue business under those licenses. But here comes along an Indian agent who notifies them to close their places within a week, under penalty of law.

(United Press Staff Corresvondent) Paris, July 30.—One year ago to- morrow, the general mobilization or- der was posted in France calling the men to the colors. This was war. Today her leaders consider the crisis passed and that victory is only a question of time. The minister of war, M. Alexander Millerand, has announced that the MINNESOTA STATE FA EPT. 64" TO 111915, ] oAy S R P £ AT e e e KKK KK KKK KK KX KK KN * EXPLAIN STORE ROBBERY * A e e e R R R R E e S R R R On: account of ‘ conflicting reports that have come out about the rob- bery at the Fair Store, I, W. A. El- liott, as proprietor, wish to state the facts of the case. The robber entered through the rear bagement door. He opened the back register and took $1.95. He then went to the counter and got a file which was used to open the roli- top desk in the office. In one of the drawers thére was $195.00 in checks, $118.00 in bills and $18.00 in silver. The. bills were taken and $10.00 in silver, being the one dollar and half- dollar pieces, but left the small change. There were six other reg- isters in the store with $2.00 in each of them that was not touched. The total taken was $129.95; nothing ‘else was touched. ‘W. A. ELLIOTT. German offensive is broken and that the defensive soon will be...Prime Minister Rene Viviani, in an inter- view granted me, declared German resources in money and supplies -to be in a bad way, and M. Victor Au- gagneur, minister of the navy, has told me. that Germany’s submarine war cannot have any effect on the final issue. France, therefore, is confident, but || not over-confident. She realizes that there is yet much work to be done. She argues, however, that if Germany, with her fiying start and an army in the pink of condition and at its maximum strength, could not shatter the French army, caught off | its guard by a “brusk attack,” the kaiser’s forces are helpless now. For not only has France recovered from that sudden first blow when she stood alone to receive it, but is fitter now than at the start of the war. The English are daily increasing in num- ber and the Russian avalanche is con- sidered inexhaustible. Any Frenchman, or Frenchwoman will tell jyou it is only a question of time. France has astonished the world by her staying qualities, by her unani- mity of purpose and by her accom- plishments. Here are some of her deeds during the first year of the war: She has accomplished her solidarity. She frustrated Germany’s original plan of campaign. She won the victory of the Marne, saving Paris. own MISTER BARKER clerks always meet you - See Your Finish The one store in Bemidji to which you are al- waysa most welcome visitor isthestore wherethe It is in this store most strangers find a ‘cordial welcome, because most people when they visit Bemidji drop in to see BARKER.

She forced the Germans to accept either retirement from France and Belgium or a winter campaign in trenches. She completed the reorganization of her army, under way when war caught her. She made an army of individuals, temperamentalists and thinkers in- to an army of tenacious veterans, two-to-one more efficient than at the outset of the war. She banished the ghost of 1870. She learned to fight as the other fellow fights, by burrowing. She retook part of Alsace, her lost province. She stopped the Crown Prince at Verdun. She held Nancy the eastern gate to Paris. She created heavy artillery, lack- ing at the start. She ousted shirkers from positions ‘back of the line and sent them to the trenches, and brought out of the trenches, mechanics, engineers and others needed for war material fac- tories. She sent a large expeditionary force to the Dardanelles. She bottled the Austrian fleet in the Adriatic just as England bottled the German fleet at Kiel, keeping the Mediterranean open. She successfully launched all war financial measures. She abolished absinthe and put other intoxicants under control. She provided for the families of soldiers.

She placed women in men’s jobs- and kept the economic life of the- country going. She kept calm despite invasion of her territory, backed her soldiers with a patient, toiling, united citiz- enry; and, much to her credit, has: yet to utter the first word of criti-- cism against any of her allies. France was never so calm as now. She has suffered—and is still. suf-- fering cruelly—but she has not com- plained. Her feeling runs too deep for outward show, this revealing a little-known trait of the French. Judging by what France has ac- complished during the first year of the war, and by her present deadly calm, the powers of centarl Europe have a hot time in store for them dur- ing the second year of the war, which begins Sunday.
