THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1915. FOUR JUMPS FROM PARIS TO SALONICA Txip Full of Waits, Interest, Excit- ment, Sight Seeing and Sub- Marine Dodging. By Wm. @. Shepherd' (United Press Staff Corresvondent) Salonica, Oct. 31. (By Mail)—The fowr jumps from Paris to the Salonica F Paris and you’re front take three weeks; they are full of waits, interest and excitement, of submarine dodging, sight seeing. Per- haps you’d like to take the trip John McCutcheon, the American cartoonist and James H. Hare, veteran war photo- grapher are in the party. Very well! It's < 10 at night in the W.G.Shepherd.. P, L. M. station in climbing into the sleeping car You've been worrying. Rour days ago you reserved berths and paid a bonus to your hotel for securing them. -As the train pulls out you discover that the car is practically your. private car, Few folks are traveling toward Italy in wartime. You ask the porter for a detachable lamp for your berth. “Haven’t got any extra omes.” “Why?"” “This is war time.” “That’s silly,” you say angrily. “Say I used to run on the Oriental express from Vienna to Constanti- nople,” says the French porter, who is also conductor. “Didn’t I use to see you hanging around Vienna?” “Never been in Vienna,” you lie. But what he has said cools you down; he’s practically telling you that if you don’t shut' up about the berth lamp he’ll charge you with being an Austrian spy. He’s got the drop on you; you’re nothing but a poor, helpless foreigner in France in war- time. So you go to bed without the lamp; no chance of reading yourself to sleep this night. There’s a dining car hitched on for breakfast. But there’s nothing but coffee and bread; no eggs, no bacon —“It’s the war!” There’s no diner for lunch. Same reason. For supper you jump off at a station, buy a cold chicken, pickles and bottled water and get the crumbs all over the carpet of your compart- ment. The second morning you're in THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER e Rome. Your trunk doesn’t show. up. [ KK KK KKK EK KKK KKK Its back in Paris. no eggs. At the American embassy you find Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page greatly worried as to the welfare of hig son-in-law, a, major in, the Brit- ish army. A British transport has been sunk near Salonica; the chances are his son-in-law was on it, but there is no way to learn. Will you carry letters to Salonica for the major and try to learn something as to his welfare? It's an errand you gladly assume. You're going right into the fog of war and you may meet the major there if the ambassador’s fears are not well founded. There’s a day over in Rome and you go to see the ruins of the forum. | It’s a sadder sight than it has ever been in all its 2,000 years. It is deserted, except for two old guides, professor looking persons, the paths which have been pounded by the feet of scores of thousands of Ameri- can school teachers, of girls from American finishing schools, and of a few other tourists, are empty. The two guides quarrel for you, in a professorlike and dignified man- ner you take the one whose frock coat is the shabbiest. ‘“You're the first American tourists that have been here for five months,” he says. “We’re war writers,” you explain, ‘“not tourists.” and Rubbers, values to $3, Sat- urday only - - 12 yds. best Outing Flannels, worth $1.50, Saturday only $I 20 yds. heavy Unbleached Mus- lin, worth 8c a yd.

IRISH IMMIGRATION SHOWS FALLING OFF Dublin, Ireland, Dec. 9.—Emigra- tion from Ireland for the first mnine months of this year shows 7,572 persons sailing, as against 17,,057 for the first nine months of 1914, and the total figures of 30,967 for 1913 dropped to 20,314 in 1914. During the first four months of this year 4,653 emigrants went to the United States as compared with 12,609 in the same period of last year, while only 519 went to Canada as against 2,768. These figures, taken from the latest report of the Irish regestrar general, are interesting in view of the controversy that has arisen about Irish emigration since the war.
