OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS THE SLEEPLESS WHEELS. Thinking in millions (of men) costs us no effort now. When the administration gave notice that a million men had crossed the Atlantic we experienced a variety of thrills. Then we got used to the idea, and the news of two million left us tranquil. : When we learned that a large part of our contingent were noncombatants certain oversensitive people felt a degree of mortification. The star-spangled feeling was cooling off. These oversensitive ones would feel more chesty if they could see the noncombatants at work. Less than a year ago there was an unreclaimed swamp near a French port. Your ‘Uncle Sam has drained it, covered it with a series of workshops “bigger than the capitol at Washington, and out of it he throws high caliber guns like sausages out of Chicago. He stacks machine guns on freight cars like an elevator vomiting grain, and away they go to the front. And many of his larger guns contain about eight thousand parts. In another he dound workmen quarrying by hand to pre- pare concrete roads to the trenches. He installed mechanical excavators, and on the fourth day was loading cars as fast as they could be hauled. ] Up and down France he is building Pittsburgs and Beth- lehems from which Pershing draws his supplies in a ceaseless flood. And in the Krupp Works at Essen, where exhausted serfs toil vainly to keep up the pace, they are learning from him what a real war is like. " st Ga e BEMIDJI DOES THINGS RIGHT. 1 A little premature, perhaps, was the celebration in Bemidji over signing the armistice by Germany, but it did no harm, except to the feelings of some individuals, and when the real explosion came off yesterday there was a surplus of patriotism and enthusiasm on tap that was let loose in every conceivable manner and in which all Bemidji heartily joined. The celebrating started as soon as The Pioneer notified the inhabitants at an early morning hour of what had transpired and lasted throughout the forenoon. At noon stores closed and the entire city and its civic organizations took a hand in the celebration and the business district became one riot of frenzied patriotism. When Bemdji does anything along patriotic lines she just naturally “raises the roof” in giving vent to her feelings. 8 b s | ey The man or woman, the boy or girl, who reads and ap- preciates good books is blessed beyond the average. Of the ‘things of this life that make for unalloyed happiness, first on the list is the love'of a good book. 0 The kaiser is reported to have purchased an estate in Norway. He might have done better to secure an island some- where in the far seas, where he could remain “monarch of all he surveyed.” R e T Holland is probably not greatly pleased at his selection. But what country on the face of the earth would welcome him ‘as an inhabitant? o S It could hardly be expected that the kaiser be an advocate of abdication. ' SERVICE THAT WINS E— Bave Y. M. C.

NOW CORPORAL OLSON. Kern Olson has written his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. I. B. Olson, stat- ing that he was made a corporal November 7, and that he was made an instructor on airplanes. He says what pleases him most is that he gets more practice in flying. He states that the glee club to which he belongs has been engaged for the national war work campaign and that they were to go on a short trip for about five days this week. What they are aiming te do is to organize the club into a permanent organization and that will mean they will stay together after the war is over. Kern had a big surprise while in Texas, when he-met-& young man, formerly in the employ of Drs. Larson & Larson in this city, who belonged to the glee club .directed by Mrs. Paul Yaple, formerly Miss Beth Evans, in this city. He stated the young man would probably join them in their work. PROPHECY: REGARDING FOCH COMING TRUE An acquaintance of Marshal Foch’s school days recalls in ‘a recent issue of the Gaulois how one: day, shortly after . the Germans; had . taken the fortress of Metz from the French, while Foch was a student of the In- stitute Polytechnique of Metz, one of the old teachers at: the college, Father . Saussier, prophesied that Foch would some day be one of those to replace the French banner on the Cathedral of Metz. In.a tribute to Foch the writer in Le” Gaulois de- clares: “The glory of Foch iilumines at this moment two French. Cities now cuffering martyrdom, Metz and Nancy. They occupy so much space in the life of the new marshal of T'rence! “It was in Metz that Foch pre- pared himself for- the army. His father sent him to the College Srint- Olement, directed by the Jesuits. “The writer of these lines, a faith- ful of the university, counts among liis best friends former students of Saint-Clement, always full of grati. tude to their former teachers. One of these teachers, whom in respect for his knowledge and righteousness we will pardon his originality, made the following bout Foch: H “ ‘Decistve character; geometrical technician.’ “At that early period the poly- tachnician was already a man. His ollow students granted him the prize { wisdom with unanimity. “All of Foch's fellow students ~>member his appearance at the age £ 15. He was energetic and mild, at the same time savage and sincere, prophetic statement ! nind; has in him the stuff of a poly- impetuous and thoughtful, with I'londe hair and square chin, walking with a stooping head, but always tooking at people directly in the face. «tooping head-once almost cost his life. One day while walking in the corridor of Saint-Clement he struck 1gainst one of his friends, Rivet de Chaussepierre, who was running in the opposite direction. The terri- hle shock hurled them both to the pavement. After they had been picked up and cared for in a hos- pital they loved each other the more afterward, as both regretted their thoughtlessness, which might have cost the life of the comrade. “What became of the other? He was killed in the war of 1870 in front of Metz, where he served as a lieutenant. Foch said: ‘Beautiful death! Rivet de Chaussepierre, we envy thee. Earlier or later, with one nnanimous effort, we will run against Germany head erect.’ “After the war of 1870 Foch re- turned to Metz to finish his prepara- tions for the polytechnic school. of Metz was full of the odor of the barbarian invasion. In this choking atmosphere Foch worked with all his passion. His two teachers, Father La Couture, excellent' mathematician, and Father Saussier, former naval officer, prophesied the career which was to open for their favorite pupil. “tYou will see,” said Pere Baussier, ‘that Foch will be one of those to replace the French bannter over there.! And he pointed with his finger at the spire of the cathedral. “*I will not see it, perhaps,’ re- plied Father Le Couture, ‘but surely Metz will see it.’ “In July, 1871, Foch went to Nancy to take his written examina- tions. At that time, though, Nancy was not annexed like Metz, but it was invaded just as Metz, while the Germans were waiting till the ran- som should be paid. General Man- teuffel was living in the government palace, in the office later occupied by Marshal Foch at the eve of the war of 1914, “When Foch finished his last com- position he listened to the end of the hateful German retreat and ut- tered the great oath which has di- rected all his existence. “Forty-two years later, in August, 1913, when he was made commander of the twentieth corps in Nancy, he ordered a demonstration without precedent on his arrival in the city. The bands and the bugles of six regi- ments played with marvelous effect the ‘Marche de Sambre-et-Meuse,’ the famous battie music of the French army. It seemed to Foch that the air in Nancy was purified at last.”— From the New York Tribume Press Bureau This habit of walking with a|. ; think aloud.—Emerson. | Ringworm— I maumwmmn.b.n.m t So to, ly, not or BB R ol : ; e Liguid Wash| SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY PIONEER | .
