School teachers in Beltrami county will conduct day and night schools for immigrants, according to an an- nouncement made today by W. B. Stewart, county superintendent of schools. . Many Do Not Speak English. In making the announcement Mr. Stewart said: ““Government reports show that there are 2,953,011 foreign born in the United States ten years of age and up to 15 years who are unable to read the English language. Also that there are 2,896,696 from the ages of 15 years and over, who can- not be forced to an education by the compulsory education acts, who are non-English speaking. To Educate Foreigners. “A society in New York known as the National Americanization com- mittee has co-operated with the United States Bureau of Education in securing interest in regard to edu- cating the foreigners in the public schools. The United States bureau has had large posters printed ask- ing the foreigners to come to schools which will be opened in every dis- trict in all the states. All rural and city schools have been asked to co-operate with the government by opening the schools. To Advise Superintendents. “The government department will advise the heads of the county schools of any immigrants who are locating in their county. In turn the superintendents will ask the teachers to locate the immigrants in their respective territory and ask them to come to the day school or ar- range to take individual instruction at -a -night “school.~ Of "course, if night schools are established the teacher will be paid accordingly. To Become Active. “Beltrami county is going to be- come very active in this campaign to educate the foreigner. I have re- ceived 100 large posters which will be posted at various places in the county. The posters are printed in several foreign languages and advise the foreigner to make himself known at the schools. We realize that a better education will give the for- eigner better opportunities, better homes, better jobs, better chance for their children and a better America.” INFANT SON OF MR. AND MRS.

Land Seems Cheaper. “Land in Canada, if anything, is becoming cheaper, at least at my old home at Lucan land is as cheap as when I left there in 1892. Beef and pork are very high priced, eggs sell for 25 cents a dbzen, potatoes one dollar a bushel and butter sells for 38 cents a pound. The farmers are meaking money and the majority of them in the territory that I have vis- ited are going into the cattle busi- ness.” Mr. Nangle and his daughter left Bemidji on their trip, September 30.

The receipts at the local postoffice at the close of the fiscal year ending March 31, were $22,000, an increase in the last ten years of $14,000, and it is advanced by those back of the movement for a new building that these are the largest receipts of any postoffice in the district where there is no federal building. ‘The present quarters are cramped and officials state wholly inadequate to handle the increased business at the local postoffice. Lif Insurance Thomas L. Sheylin of Minneapolis, 32 years of age, former Yale athlete, and president of the Shevlin com- pany, Shevlin-cunenter-clarke com- pany and Crookston Lumber company here, has insured. his life for $1,- 000,000. Mr. Shevlin already car- ried life insurance of $500,000. The closing today of the details for the $1,000,000 policy, which makes the total carried by him $1,- 500,000, puts Mr. Shevlin in first place in the United States, if not in the world, for a man of his age, in amount of life ipsurance carried. Seven Others in United States. Mr. Shevlin now is one of eight men in the Uinted States who carry life insurance of $1,500,000 or more. There are 80 men in the = United States, each of whom carries $500,- 000 or more. Since the death’ of Frank H. Pea- vey, several years ago, there has been no citizen of Minnesota whose life was insured for as much as $1,000,- 000. Of the 80 men in the United States who individually carry $500,- 000 or more of life insurance, 14 are residents of Minnegota and 11 reside in Minneapolis. The writing of the $1,000,000 Shevlin policy puts Min- neapolis, in life insurance, in the class with New York, Chicago -and Philadelphia, where notably large individual policies have in recent years been written. Four Agents Share Commission. Byron H. Timberlake of the Provi- dence Life & Trust company, the Pru- dential Insurance Company of Am- erica, and the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York; Lorin Hoyd, general agent of the Home Life In- surance company, New York; Telford K. Thompson of the Aetna Life In- surance company, Hartford, and W. Meade Robinson of the New England Mutual Life Insurance company, Bos- ton, handled the business. How Totsl is Divided. The $1,000,000 total is divided as follows: i Aetna Life ...... +....$150,000 Equitable Life . 50,000 Mutual Life .... 100,000 Prudential Life .. . 50,000 ‘Home Life...... 160,000 New England Life ........ 50,000 Travelers ................ 200,000 New York Life ........ 200,000 Massachusetts Mutual ..... 50,000 MF. Shevlin was declared a perfect physical risk. The insurance was taken because of Mr. Shevlin’s prom- inence as a factor in the large busi- ness enterprises of the Shevlin-Car- penter-Clarke interests.

T. & T. chief engineer, dreamer of dreams that come true (he perfect- ed the wireless phone through which Washington officials recently talked 5,000 miles from the capitol to Ha- waii, and with which the human voice may some day circle the globe, you know), was in San Francisco the day the Red Letter Editor phoned his assignment to me from New York. Accordingly, I found Mr. Carty and he told me something of his dreams for wireless telephony. May Ring Tokio. Some day, he opined, Bill Smith may sit in his office in New York, Chicago, Seattle or San Francisco, ring up across the continent on the wire and be connected with the wire- less_telephone to- Tokio. From New. York, that-is-about-8;- 000 miles. . But, Bill Smith won’t be able to use a wireless telephone to talk to Tom Jones down in another office building in the same town. The wireless isn’t meant for that, and it won’t supplant the telephone or the wireless telegraph. The little man with the black hair, just tinging with gray, and - the sharp black eyes peering out from under shaggy eyebrows, sat in the temporary office of the A. T. & T. Co., here and discussed his dreams of talking across the continent and thence to Hawaii, which had just come true. Not Any Pocket Phones. He personally has made wireless telephony a commercial possibility, but it was of his company that he spoke—scarcely ever, “L” “We don’t expect that there’ll be such a thing as carrying a pocket phone around and connecting up with anybody anywhere in the world,” he said. “What we expect, though is that the wireless telephone will be avail- able for ships, and particularly for small craft, so that one may talk to the other or to the shore. “It is easier to talk wirelessly over water than over land, and while we have talked across the continent, we think the practical outcome will be that the man, say in New York, will talk across the continent by wire and be connected with the wireless. I think it will be possible for him in this way to talk to Tokio. Very Easy to Talk. “The real development we expect, however, to be on ships. “You see it’s very easy to talk across the country now,” he said, putting up a connection between the United Press offices in New.York and San Francisco for the correspondent. It was very easy.

The feat accomplished in talking from New York to San Fran- cisco and Hawaii, he pointed out, makes it a certainty that one may talk to Europe. There are three main reasons, as Carty explained it, why wireless tele- phony cannot come into general use, that is, supplant the usual commer- clal telephone: First, a’great roar that spreads through the other and transfers io the ‘wireless set; second, the latk of secrecy; and third, the inability to spread so many communications on one “line” as can be done with the wire system. Are Interruptions. The ‘roar he expects will be over- come to some extemt. He has found ‘he can Hear clearly in talking to New York, but there are static in- terruptions. He is now working to smooth out htis difficulty also on com- pleting the system of response. On his original tests there was transmission in only one direction, but Carty is now working out both sending and receiving instruments. Carty has other big ideas back of those keen black eyes. But he isn't telling them. “You know, Mr. Vail’s orders are to do it and talk about it afterward,” he said. “What do you think will be the next great achievement in science?” he was asked. “I wonder,” he mused. “Science has made great steps, hasn’t it?” Rear Admiral to Be Court Martialed; Neglocted Hi_s Duy Oct. ‘Washington, 16.—Secretary Daniels - late ‘yesterday “ordered the|. trial by court martial of Rear Ad- miral William N.

MACKENSEN ADVANCING 5 REGARDLESS OF LOSSES' Paris, Oct. 16.—Heavily beset up= on three sides, Serbia is making & last-ditch fight for life. Help from the Allies must reach the little nation immediately to be availing. The Serbians are holding the Bul- garians but the Austrians and Ger- mans are steadily advancing. Field Marshal von Mackensen is de- termined to advance rapidly and is hurling his men against the Serbians regardless of the losses. The British forces have landed at Salonika and are enroute to help the Serbians but they are insufficient in numbers. The French are doing. nothing. CZAR FERDINAND SAYS GERMANS WILL WIN Sofia, Oct. 16.—Czar Ferdinand has issued another manifesto justifying his action in declaring war. He sald that the war is rapidly being ended - with the Germans victorious. RECRUITING IN LONDON DELAYS CONSCRIPTION London, Oct. 16.—Great crowds are gathering where the German bombs fell from the Zeppelin raid of Thursday.

OBSTINATE FIGHTING NEAR GREEK FRONTIER :: - - ing by the Bulgarfans and Serbiams- is continuing in the vicinity of the Greek frontier. ALLIES TO APPLY FOR SECOND LOAN New York, Oct. 16.—Lord Read- ing’s announcement that the Allies would soon seek another huge loan has caused sensations in the finan- cial circles of this country. The action on the second loan is expected within two months. The Allies’ expenditure of lions will mean much red tape. All Allied powers have represen- tatives sitting as a committee in London and this committee must sanction every purchase before pay- ment is made. RUSSIA SENDS TROOPS THROUGH RUMANIA Petrograd, Oct. 16.—It was an- nounced today that Russia has sent troops through Rumania to help Ser- bia, without Rumania’s consent. mil- SIR CARSON RESIGNS FROM CABINET London, Oct. 16.—News was print- ed here that Sir Edward Carson has resigned from the cabinet. ALLIES TO ATTEMPT TO BEAT TEUTONS Rome, Oct. 16.—Although it is re- ported here that the Allies will abandon the Dardanelles campaign, it is not believed here that it means ‘|that the Allies will abandon the at- tempts to reach Constantinople. It is believed that the Allies will com- bine attempts to beat the Germans to Constantinople through Bulgaris, leaving Serbia to her fate. SUBMARINES OPERATE FROM RUSSIAN BASE Copenhagen, Oct. 16.—People here are puzzled as to what means British submarines used to go through the heavily mined-entrance to the North sea where they are doing great havoc to the German shipping. It is be- lieved that the British submarines are operating from a Russian base. Germany is being unmolested there - on account of the insufficient naval strength of the Russians. BULGARIANS ATTEMPT TO CUT RAILROAD Athens, :Oct. 16.—Bulgarians are attempting to cut the railway 26 miles north of the Grecian border in an attempt to stop ‘the Allies from progressing on this road from Sal- onika.
