This contest was the third between the two teams, each team having won a game previously. Since each had a game to its credit, the third battle was decided to be staged on _another floor to decide, in a long measure, the championship of the third athletic district. Bemidji’s de- feat last night does not necessarily mean that the Walker quint will travel to Carlton college to contend for the state championship. Little Falls appears to be the leader in this district and no doubt that team will be ‘the one to go to Northfield. Walker Starts Fast. For some reason, Bemidji’s plays failed to materialize during the first period of the game and the Walker quint piled up a count of 18 against Bemidji’s 6 points during this half.

Senator Hitchcock last night wrote Wilson, asking him to receive Sena- tor Simmons, as an emmissiary, who would lay before him proposals for a compromise on Article X. Democratic hopes were believed dashed again when the White House let it be known that Wilson sees little need of discussing the treaty situa- tion further with the administration senators, that he is adamant dgainst any reservations, except interpretive ones, and that he prefers to have the democratic senators try to convert Senator Lodge rather than convert DANIELS TELLS NAVAL AFFARRS COMMITTEE WHAT SHOULD BE DONE Asserts Great Navy Needed If Senate Fails to Ratify League of Nations By Herbert Walker (United Press Correspondent) Washington, March 6.—‘“The Unit- ed States must continue its pre-war naval building program until it is determined whether this country is to be a member of the league of na- tions,” Secretary of the Navy Daniels today told the house naval affairs committee. “If the genate fails to ratify the team to Cass Lake yesterday mever|,...iv apq' thus refuses to join the HOOVER SEEKS FOOD, AND NOT MONEY, TOSAVE EUROPE HORDE Lack of Raw Material Threat- ens Anarchy in War Devastated Nations FOOD DRAFTS PROPOSED TO RELIEVE RELATIVES Starving Millions Crave Some- thing to Eat; Bankers Receive Hoover's Plans Herbert Hoover, chairman of the American Relief Administration, is addressing a cireular letter to the bankers of America, in which a food draft measure is endorsed by the gov- ernments of Poland, Austria, Hun- gary, Czecho-Slovakia and Germany, in which millions of families in the United States are affiliated with families in the countries mentioned, Eastern and Central Europe, and to them a large number in America are desirous of giving personal assist- ance. .

The officials of these new gov- ernments are endeayoring to impress upon the American people that it is useless to remit money to a family in Central or Eastern Europe with the hope of improving its food situa- tion. The sum total of food now available in Central Europe is insuf. ficient to keep the population alive, and under these circumstances money thus becomes that much paper so far @8 nutrition is concerned. A hungry man wants food, not money, and un- der the arrangement outlined above, we can meet his need. I feel that you will agree that such an enter- prise, organized on a thoroughly bus- iness basis, will effect a considerable amount of actual relief abroad. I am informed that the president of the American Bankers’ Association states that the association will co- operate in all possible ways in the plan as above outlined.

Your little help in this mat- ter may relieve someone hunger and possibly starvation. This ought to compensate you for your trouble. ‘“The plan has the approval of the United States Treasury and State Departments and by each of the Euro- pean countries above named.” committee was to meet here today to make final plans for the national con- mittee, in calling the meeting, said the party had added 10.000 members to its rolls in 1919.

The attitude thus assumed is one that will assist the Nonpartisan League and the enemies of the Republican party. The last attack on the state chairman, which was inspired by them because of a letter written to a former employe at the latter’s re- quest, stating my position on the presidency, is an illustration of the smallness of their tactics. “The last person in the world who ought to object to a state chairman expressing his personal views on po- litical matters is Mr. Smith, who, for several years, was chairman of the- State Central committee and worked (Continued on Page Five)
