This is ng time to continue mlsleadmg. the 7 ican people. None can deny that they have been misldd. he:dourse of a debate in the United States Senate -on njtor New of Indiana w;stled, in response to ques- tions by his cplleagues, to declare tha ! plane 1};1 France tgday unless some have been landed within the last few days.”- When asked by Senator Johnson: of /Cali- fornia what was the airplane program for July 1 this® year, ‘ ator New replied: : ; : e & thilfk that, while I had not intended mention- ing that, it is fair and just to say the program called for 12,000 combat planes by July e repl‘led Senator New. ; 3 “How many' will there be delivered on July 1? the California senator continued. “Thirty-seven,” said Senator New. The reader may recall the interviews given out by Secre- tary Baker last summer when he declared th.at thousands of American combat planes would be bombarding the German army and fortifications in 1918. Congress responded promptly with an oppropriation of $639,000,000 and placed it at-Mr. Baker’s disposal, almost without conditions. Mr. Baker “promised record-breaking work on the construction of 20,000 airplanes for traiging and fighting purposes. Facts'and figures are now being revealed to prove that -Mr. Baker’s promises have not been kept. Only one fighting plane has been shipped to France and that, at last reports, had not arrived. The -Air- ‘eraft Production board has spent more than $600,000,000 and ‘hias produced less than 1,600 training planes and but seven __fighting planes. Six of these are in the South where efforts gre being made to adjust the lubricating system tothe engines. ‘" 'But there is more to this case than Mr. Baker’s promises last summer and his announcement of a great program of air- plane construction. On February 21, 1918, a lieele more than plane construction. On February 21, 1918, a little more than the time he was under examination by congressional commit- tees, as declaring that the first American airplanes were being sent to Europe five months ahead of schedule and as praising the progress being made on the Liberty motor. Senator: New declares that the aircraft program called for 12,000-combat planes by July and that only 37 will be completed by that date. ‘'Was" Secretary Baker merely talking to hear himself talk in February, when he declared that American -airplanes were going to Europe five months ahead of schedule? What explanation does he or the administration offer for this amaz- ing announcement to the American people? - Who is to assume the responsibility for the increased danger to-which Americans in the ‘trenches are to be exposed because of enemy control of the air? f ‘. The American people stand ready to make any sacrifice f men, money and all their resources to the proper prosecution g‘f this war for the benefit of all mankind, but they must know the truth. They. will make the best of conditions, whatever they may be. They will condone mistakes but they will not forgive or forget misrepresentation, particularly when it is practiced by high officials of the government. Tell the people-the truth. 7 & WE HAVE THE WATER—NOW FOR FACILITIES ‘According to F. L. Anders, superintendent of the Fargo water system and a water works system engineer for 15 years, Bemidji has an abundance of €xcellent water, in fact far super- ior to thousands of cities. It is the facilities fé’r securing an extensive supply, guaranteed not to falter in‘a time of emérg- ency, and, taking into consideration the future growth of the city; that confironts the people. - “There should be no obstacles placed in the path of this momentous problem. The city authorities are ‘going: into it slowly and thoroughly. They can be depended upon-to ‘do their best, for they, too, are citizens of Bemidji and:have ex- tensive interests. Co-operation and constructive - ideas '‘are urged and will ‘be heartily welcome. 3 The time to solve the water question is NOW.

RIS T S Tolstoy and:Turgenev-in Fierce Dis- pute That' Might*Have ‘Led to: Deadiy Encounter.” P — { Tolstow and Turgenev, famous Rus- slan - novelists, were - contemporaries and friends, but on one occasion they had a serfous falling out. As gathered' from. a recent’biography, .this is the story' of their quarrel: The two fl" . ruouse novelists met @t a'friend’shouse. Turgenev spoke enthusiastically ~ 'of hisjyour’ daughter’s new:English gov- ermess; ‘mentiouing that ishe required |° the child to mend old, ragged clothes to give to the poor. “Do you consider that good?” demuiiled Tolstoy. I ‘cer- tainlydo,” replied”Turgenev; “it makes the charity: workers. realize everyday needs.” “And I think that a well- ' dressed —girl* ‘with “filthy," malodorous |. rags in her hands:is-acting an insincere farce,” commented “Tolstoy. “I ask you not to say that,” exclaimed Tur-:« genev, hotly. © “Why should I not say what T am-convinced-is true?” retorted Tolstoy. “If you say ‘that again T will box your ears " Turgeney cried, white with rage,-and. rushed-from'the room. A duel -fvas narrowly averted. After- ward these famous men became rec- onciled, and on his deathbed Turgenev wrote an affecting note to Tolstoy, ad-- dressing him-as’ “the great. writer of our’ Russian ' land.”—Outlook.
