It was, however, a question for the Versailles Council to consider, inasmuch as it is purely a military problem. If the body which meets at Versailles is 1ot to take up and deside questions of this character, what are its functions? If the Versailles Council is supposed to consider and, co-ordinate the military activities of the Allies, what more important problem under this head can there be than one which looks to the check- ing of the Teuton advance in Russia and to the bringing together of a force on the Bastern front which will put an end to the German with- drawal of troops for use in the much advertised spring drive in the West?| SMOOT’S GUIDING HAND % The work to be done by the capital ijssues committee created in the War Finance Corporation Bill will be greatly simplifiled and complica- tions avolded by an amendment put into the measure at. the instance of Senator Reed Smooth of Utah. It reads as follows: ‘Issues of shares or securities heretofore made, only a part of which have Jbeen sold or dis- posed of prior to the approval of this act; shall not be affected thereby.” In other words, issues of stock im process of flotation at the time of the passage of the act will not be brought under. the scrutiny of. the capital issues committee to determine if the issue is ‘‘compatible with the public interest.”” To give the committee power to stop the sale of.a stock part of which is already in the handy of the public evidently would lead to. great confusion and uncertainty, a condition that Senator Smoot's amendment will obviate. ete. When the Normal school appropriation was secured for Bemidji, the Commercial club sent one of its prominent members to St. Paul to work for the passage of the appropriation measure, and kept him there for two weeks, In other directions the club was active to secure the passage of the bill. Will the coming of the Normal school to Bemidji be of any benefit to you in building up your city? Why not become a‘member. of the Commercial club? The club would be glad to welcome you and have your co-operation. 4 G Well, if the booze making institutions in’ St. Louis county are shut down April 1 by the mandate of the Minnesota Public Safety commission, ag: per the order issued tp that effect, it will ‘be the cause of rejoicing hereabouts. Not on aceount of it being Duluth but for the very siqxple reason large quantities of booze have been shipped into this forbiddenZter- ritory from Duluth in defiance of the law. Keep 'em closed. It you are not a member of the Commercial club, why not? It has | been this organization that has accomplished the big- things for Bemidji. It looks out- for your welfare, and what it can accomplish -for Bemidji is of benefit to everyone who -resides in the city. ‘Why can’t you help the Commercial club help you? Gt 0f the-eight Socialists sent to a federal penitentiary from Minneapolis for from 20 to 25 years for opposing the government, six of them were aliens. We're sorry they didn’t get all that was coming to them. The sooner that class of aliens are given their just dues the better it will be for this country. ¥ ¢ We notice in the St. Paul Dispatch _where three young ladies acted as models at a lecture and demonstration in clothes conservation, under the direction of a woman instructor of the University of Minnesota. And now we're scared stiff for fear skirtless days might be added to the numerous other ‘““less” days. [ S— We might just as well echo the query, why doesn’t the government set a price upon:cotton, like it has upon other products grown by the northern, farmers? . Merely another foolish question. ° P W 3 REDCROSS NoTES tczx;(,":v&).ol, silk, felt, either _white' or Bags — Cotton, burlap, gunny = sacks. A Waste Material Wanted.
