the Russian line before Warsaw con
tinues to hold.

rivers, where the Germans have vain
ly endeavored to cross, are lined with
bodies, both sides having lost heavily.

sian positions have been repeatedly
repulsed, but the efforts of the Ger

attack is being directed against their
lines along the Pilica river.

SOLELYTO PREVENTANARCHY
Italy's Landing of Marines at Avlona
Explained by Rome.
London, Dec. 28.The landing of
Italian marines at Axlona, Albania, is
not expected to be followed by repre
sentations from Austria to Rome.
Italy has declared her intentions
are governed solely by a desire to pre
vent anarchy spreading to the Adriat
ic shores and it is believed that Aus
tria for the present will accept this
explanation.
A general revolt, inspired by Turk
ish Moslemites, is reported to have
caused the disturbances.
It is semi-officially stated from
Rome that the landing of marines
does not mean that demonstrations
are to be made against interior points,
but preparations against all eventual
ities are evident, since the city is
held in much greater force than dur
ing Octqber, when marines were land
ed for the first time.

At the conference of field super
visors, Commissioner Sells gave ex
pression to his views regarding the
liquor conditions on Indian reserva
tions, an extract of which appears
in his report. He says that he beoner,
lieves the greatest present menace to
the American Indian is whisky that
does more to destroy his constitu
tion and invite the ravages of disease
than anything else it does more to
demoralize him as a man, and fre
quently as a woman it does more to
make him an easy prey to the un
scrupulous than everything else com
bined. The operatipns of the Indian
service to protect the Indians from
intoxicants extends from Florida to
New York in the east, and from
Washington to California in the west,
and from-'the Atlantic to the Pacific

BUT TWO CHANGES
IN COUNTY OFFICES
(Continued from Paae 1.)
the only, county official whose term
is not changed by the four-year term
law, the constitution interfering. But
this does not trouble the judge to any
great extent. Judge Clark begins
his fifteenth year in office next Mon
day, his first election taking place
in 1912, and re-elections coming ev
ery two years. He was practicing
before the Blackduck land office
when first elected. Miss Hazel Min
nick will continue as Judge Clark's
deputy.
Has Wide Reputation.
In W. B. Stewart, Beltrami county
has a superintendent of schools of
whom it is justly proud. Since his
election in 1906, Mr. Stewart has
worked ceaselessly in an effort to ad
vance' the educational conditions of
the county and success has crowned
his efforts. He is known over all of
Minnesota, and in fact, the north
west, for his wide knowledge in mat
ters along educational lines and for
his urgent work in behalf of con
solidated schools, which are proving
such a success wherever established.
He was for three years, previous to
his election, superintendent of the
Bemidji city schools. T. S. Thomp
son will continue as assistant to Mr.
Stewart and he is in every way quali
fied for the position.
Never Missed a Meeting.
With the exception of Mr. Hayes,
the board of county commissioners
remains unchanged. A. E. Rako was
this year elected to succeed himself
as commissioner of the first district,
while Commissioners Helic Clement
son, in the second William Lennon
ia the fourth, and J. C. Thompson,
in the fifth, held over. During the
four years that he has held office
Commissioner Rako has never missed
a board meeting and has on all occa
sions attended to committee work to
which he has been assigned, a record
of which he justly feels proud. The
other members of the board are high
conducted the business of the board
and comprise aboard equal to any in
the state. They have at all times
conducted the business of the county
in a manner giving general satisfac
tion and for the best interests of the
county.
