Scollrge Takes
Heavy Toll
Epidemic of Spanish influenza Nov
Sweeping Country Worst in
. Forty Years.

That the influenza epidemic which
is now sweeping the country is the
most disastrous known in this country
in 40 years is shown by the figures
just made public by the United States
Census bureau, covering the principal
cities of the country, which show that
the normal death rate has increased
from two to seven times as direct
result of the disease.
Fall River, Mass, shows the high
est advance. In this city the mortal.
ity has risen from an average rate OF
1877 per 1000 people to 1904. In
Philadelphia the rate is 92.2 compar-
ed with normal rate OF 14.3:: Ihe
rate for. Washington has climbed
from 1916 to 86.7. Nashville, Tenn.
has advanced from II to 1876 and Bal
timore from 1876 to 65.5. The nor
NAL rate of New York and Chicago
trebled during the epidemic. :,
The total, of cases throughout the
country since the disease became
prevalent in the middle of September
will run into millions. This is made
evident by actual figures Of the army
camps. There have been hundreds OF
thousands of cases among the troops
in training, and while the death rate
is not high, the number of fatalities
is greater than the casualties in
France.
, DR.. Woods Hutchinson of Boston
noted writer on health topics, and
who has been employed by the social
insurance commission Of California
as an expert to lead in the social in.
surance fight in that state, states that
in his opinion influenza will cause
100000 deaths throughout the coun'
trv before it is abated.
While the epidemic has practically
abated in, the east, it is sweeping
westward and there is scarcely com,
munity in the country which is not at

GREAT NEED FOR NURSES

The following letter from a nurse
in France, just received at American
Red Cross headquarters from France,
shows wildly the need for the ad-
ditional nurses ca lied for by the
Surgeon General:
Nurses' Home, July 13.
NV Dear Miss --:
We have had great changes at the
hospital since wrote you. Instead
Of having five hundred beds, we have
two hundred. At the beginning of
this big rush, started about May %,
we received the wounded from the
battlefield about twelve hours after
they we're wounded-as many as five
hundred in one night, and all in
need of an operation. This kept up
for days.
The first week we worked for 18
and 20 hours day. l would be in
bed about three or four hours when
/ would. be called again. never felt
tired nor did I want to go to bed,
for when I did just couldn't sleep,
the excitement was much too great.
1t was wonderful how the nurses
kept up. Every girl was on duty
from 8 a. m. until 10 or II o'clock at
night, taking only five or ten minutes
for their meals, but in about week
most of them had to take a day or
two.

BIG DRIVE
NOV. nth
UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
TO RAISE $l7o,5OO,ooo NEAR
AT HAND.
North Dakota Quota $675.OOO. vii.
liams County asked to Raise
$l2,OOO.OO. Bergman In
Charge.

Monday, November 11th will wit
ness the start of the great drive of
the United War Work Campaign to
raise $17O,50O,00O to continue the
welfare work among ous soldiers in
the cantonments and in France.
Williams County's quota has been
placed at $4,000 instead of $4,000 as
was first announced, and it is up to
every one to "come through" with
their share. A. B. Dale Of Fargo,
associate director of the state cam
paign was in the city yesterday con-
ferring, with F. P. Bergman, the dis
trict chairman, and further arrange
nlents will be made by the local or
ganization for the drive. Another
meeting will be held this week and
the proposition of starting the drive
on election day, November 5th, will
be discussed.
Owing to the ban on public meet
ings and the short time left before
the campaign, it will be almost en-
tirely necessary to rely on newspa
per publicity to raise the amount.
North Dakota's quota is $675,00O
and those in charge of the campaign
hope to raise this in the shortest
possible time, in order to attract at
tention to the state, and to show the
world that the people here are back
ing up their boys to the limit.
When our boys are asked to go over
the top, they do not say: eve will
see what We can do about it," and
shoulder to shoulder, each and every
one of US must put across this con-
tribution that means so much to them
after they have gone over the top
and we'll earned breif respite Of
rest and good cheer.
In their appeal for $170,5O0,O00
the seven organizations point with
pride to the unstinted praise extended
to them by all the generals of the
allied forces. All of them have more
than made gooda
THE organizations uniting in the
appeal are: the Y M. c. A., the Y.
w. c. A., the Knights Of Columbus,
Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp
Community Service, American Lib
rary Association and Salvation Army.
The fund to be collected will be
divided according to the estimates
submitted by each organization, and
the total of the fund and proportions
for each organization were deter
mined by the war department. It
is government apportionment, not
a private agreement between the sew
en- welfare agencies.

PLANS FOR FUTURE
KNITTING OUTLINED.

That the many millions Of Red
Cross knitters may know the plans
of the Red Cross for future knitting,
George E. Scott, acting manager of
the Aemrican Red Cross, issued the
following statement which was re-
ceived at Northern Division head
quarters:
"When the War Industries board,
some time ago, advised the Red Cross
theA The future production Of knit
ting yarn would be greatly reduced
we Immediately commenced to pur-
chase all yarns suitable for our knit
ting. AS a result we have today in
stock or on order 100000 pounds
of yarn for distribution to our chapt-
ers. It is hoped that we may obtain
some additional yarn from wool un-
suitable for government uses. The
expected total; however, will be con-
siderably below the 100000 pounds
used last year.
"While the total of yarn we can
secure is being determined, we are
studying how to use our supply to
produce only garments which are
most essential. When a conclusion
is reached we will announce our full
program of knitting.
an addition to this stock of yarn
the Red Cross has ready for distribu-
ton 1900, 900 sweaters, 1874 900 muffl-
ers, 384,OOO wristlets, 228,OOO helmets
and 1,328,000 pairs Of socks-a total
of 3y674,OOO articles. We are hope
full, therefore, that these and such
additional garments as we shall be
able to make will enable US to meet
the more urgent requirements of our
men during the coming winter.
"In this connection it will be Of in
terest to the women who have been
knitting to know that from Septem-
Der I, 1917, to June 13, 1913. the
Red Cross distributed 5,875,00O knit
ted garments to the army and navy
of the United States. During the
same period $4,000 knitted articles
were sent to the Red Cross commits
sioners in France and Italy for dis.
tribution to soldiers, sailors and
civilians.
"At the request of the War In
dustries board with which the Red
Cross works in close cooperation,
we have urged chapters and individu-
al workers not to buy wool in the
open market but to secure their ma
terials through our department OF
supplies"

.Austa.ians IL
Driven Back
More Than 100 Towns Taken in Ad'
vance on Italian Front.
Americans Near.

Suddenly shifting the direction of
the attack, the Italian and British
troops on the Italian front have cross
ed the Piave over wide front and
are driving wedge into the Austrian
line in the direction of the city of
Oderzo.
When the Italian front Named up
last week, the storm center of the
allied attack was apparently between
the Branta and Piave rivers. Be-
tween the Montella plateau and the
point where the battle line leaves the
Piave to mount into the heights.
there was some hard fighting and it
seemed probable that the allied effort
to breaks through would be exerted
in northerly and northeasterly dir
ection. This evidently was the view
of the Austrian command which
rushed troops into the Monte Pertica
region and regained some of the
ground lost in the first onslaught.
Then came the development of what
seems to be the real attack. 1t was
along the Piave river below the Mon
tello plateau where the Austrian arm
les met a terrible defeat last June
and July. The river has been safely
negotiated and official statements
|show that the allies are over three
miles eastward of the stream and
hold the eastern bank for approxi-
mately seven miles.
Oderzo is an important railroad
center and it's capture by the Allies
would probably result in an enforced
retirement along the Piave river to
the sea. 1t is also probable that a
readustment of the line northward
would become necessary.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
MUST BE COMPLETED

Owing to the severe epidemic o.
influenza in this county, the work OF
examining the September II regis
trants has been held up from time

hanging on, the doctors are unable
to devote their time to the examln'
ations. ..
All registrants, from 10 to S6 years
of age, in the last registration SHOULD
be ready to report on short notice for
physical examinations.
As soon as the epidemic subsidies
large calls of draftees are looked fo1
as the cantonments are sending men
across faster than they are receiving
new ones.

RONE-DRY LAW RULED OUT.

RONE-DRY LAW RULED OUI:
Shipments of liquor to any point
in North Dakota can now be made by
express companies, according to the
announcement made last week by
Justice James E. Robinson after re-
ceiving advices from Attorney uen1 n,
eral LANCER. The attorney genera
reports that physicians advise !ne
use of liquor for the treatment OF m
flfenza. Justice Robinson contends
that the bone dry law in North Ia
kota was faxed in 1917. On account
of the action taken by LANCER, con
ditions in North Dakota will again
return to the way they were before
the action Of July 1, 1917, when the
so-called bone dry law of North Da-
kot became effective.
