And while, perhaps, lacking in size, as the city of Bemidji also lacks by comparison with cities of larger proportions, yet the Ploneer is sacri- ficing nothing that would in any way detract from its purpose—that of being a newspaper. The Ploneer is a member of the United Press, acknowledged to be the greatest news gathering organization for afterncon papers in the world ‘and which numbers among its clients the largest newspapers published in the largest cities, not only in the United States but in Buenos Ayres. Like a wide awake newspaper, when the Pioneer was asked by tele- graph by the United Press if it wanted additional service, to its already splendid service, the Pioneer promptly replied, “Yes, protect us on war,” and that means that every article of news of importance is and will con- tinue to be flashed to the Pioneer daily during the continuance of the con- ditions such as exist between the United States and the Central powers. It means that the Pioneer is obliged to incur heavy additional ex- pense in providing complete information from all parts of the United States and throughout the world, but the Pioneer gladly does so in keeping faith with its patrons and loyal supporters, its implied obligations to give to them the NEWS of the day, not only at home but from throughout the world, and the Pioneer is able to do this by being a member of the great United Press which has its grip on every large or obscure corner of the universe. If you want TODAY’S news TODAY, you must read the Pioneer.

Germany has lnauqurated another vigorous “We should worry”’—and we will. There is quite a difference in doing a city good and doing a city GOOD. ’ submarine The ‘“bunch” is certainly getting desperate. But only as was expected they would.

Work on the new airship is to be be gun at once under direction of the chief constructor of the navy. It is understood that much valuable | information concerning German Zeppe- lins has reached Washington through advices from American military svd paval attaches. Whether this govern- ment will be able to practically dupli- cate the German craft remains to be demonstrated, but both Secretary of ‘War Baker and Secretary Daniels be- lieve a beginning should be made. They realize the importance of the rigid airship for military and naval purposes. Coincident with this announcement it became known that the war depart- ment plans to procure large caliber mobile rifles and howitzers to be mounted on railroad trucks for coast defense or hauled by tractor engines over country roads.
