And late that night Dan Wilkinson
lighted his pipe and strolled out and
along the once familiar streets. Finally
he turned well remembered corner.
There it was, her home, the fourth
house down. He remembered well the
last time he had stood on those
steps and said good night, which had
also been goodbye. That night they
sat together on the piano bench in the
front room, singing and playing over
the songs of the day. She was twenty
then and he was twenty-three. Ever
since he had carried about with him
the troubled glance that had come to
her grave, gray eyes when he had told
her that he loved her. r.. :. e..
"Why is it," she had said, that be-
cause of this thing called love I must
lose all my friends? I don't want to
marry anyone-and don't want to
lose them all. And you will do just as
the rest have done, either 60 away and
never come near me again, or else
poster me until have to send you
away. What am to do?" There was
a youthful bitterness in her young
voice that touched him, and later, On
tn, steps, he had taken her two cool
hands in his.
'Tll not poster you. Nan, dear, nor
shall 60 away to stay, for some, day
TIL be coming back to you" And a
week later he had gone West.
So tonight he stood there in the
shadow of a great tree and smiled as
he looked at the front of the dark
ened house. She hadn't married, and
he wondered why? Because of her
life's work, perhaps

LOCAL CONDITION
IS NORMAL, SAY
FARGO DOCTORS

One new case of the childrens dis
ease which has attracted attention
and caused much concern among the
parents was reported today. The dis
ease which has become almost an
epidemic in Grand Forks, has been
limited in Fargo to a few cases and
local physicians class it with the
summer complaint" Of former years.
The disease known to the laynan
as summer complaint" is due to an
infection from something that the
child eats or drinks. One item Of
food may cause the trouble with one,
and a different article with another
individual, physicians say.
DR.. Paul Sorkness, health officer,
said today, that in his opinion, the
condition in Fargo among the chill
dern was no worse than in ordinary
years and that the situation did not
approach an epidemic locally.
In the opinion of DIR. M. MacGregor,
the number Of cases in Fargo is no
greater than is usual in the summer
among children. 1T is hard to tell
where the infection comes FROM" said
DR.. MacGregor today. IF the condi-
ton at Grand Forks has reached the
point Of an epidemic it might be due
to food limited to the locality. If it
were caused by fruit shipped into the
state Fargo would be liable to be af-
fected more than has proved the case.
In my opinion the disease is no more
widespread in Fargo than is usual at
this time of year.. 9

by charts at the fire station, com!
n1tBsionars said today.
This condition was true at the
time of Blacks department store
fire, and resulted in a letter from G,
s. Whittlesey, adjuster for the I'M
| derwriters, to Mr., Blakemore.
Il wish to cali your attention ID
| what, in my opinion. is an unBatiE-
factory condition regarding water
pressure during the past year, par
ticularly at times when fires oc-
cur" wrote Mr.. Whittlesey.
Tn the Black fire yesterday al
7:45 a, m, when the fire department
began to throw water the chart
at the department shows that the
I pressure dropped to IL pounds, and
az s o'clock it was from so 10 SO
pounds. and at no time while the
department was throwing water did
the pressure reach IS pounds, the
amount supposed TO be given during
Had this pressure been anywhere
near IS pounds this fire undoubtedly
would nave been under control in
one half OF the time it took to put il
out, and the fire loss as a. result,
would have been considerably less
than half Of what It is now. All this
will probably run from $50, 900 to
$4,000. The water department can
apparently be charged with a loss Of
$4,000 to $4,000, due directly to it's
failure to furnish necessary pressure.
ut Is clearly evident that some one
is at fault and, IL becomes my duty
to insist that proper measures be
taken to remedy this condition and
also report the condition to the Cen
eral Inspection company. Insurance
rates are based on what your plant is
supposed to deliver and unless this
delivery is made, it will be proper to
penalize the city by making the prop
er correction in rates..

waterworks calling for a pressure of
SO TO SIS pounds on the first alarm,
and rs pounds should a second alarm
come in; and protested against an
s5-pound pressure on the grounds
that 1t would encourage and enlarge
leaks and would be a severe strain
on plumbing in private residences
not equipped with pressure cocks.
With the passage OF the resolution,
Mr., Blakemore arose from his chair
and left the room, but returned in a
few moments and resumed his seat
without comment.
Violation of Ordinance.
Mr.. Blakemore, in his statement to
the commission today declared that
the resolution was In violation Of the
budget ordinance which provided and
paid for a 50-pound pressure, and
sought the opinion Of w. II. Shure,
city attorney, who said that in his
opinion the commission not only had
authority 10 appropriate any amount
Of money, large or small, that 1t saw
fit, but also could issue orders TO any
city official or department.
Commissioner Jordan interposed
that If the resolution was in viola
ton Of the budget ordinance, Mr..
Blakemore was also in error in issu-
ing his order to the -waterworks en-
ployes.
ls An Old Issue.
The pressure question in an old
issue with the commission, and came
up for spirited discussion when the

passed. Mr.. BIakemore cOrtending
that the city should appropriate a
larger sum Of money for fire pro-
lection, and asking that the amount
be raised from S24 to $50 a hydrant.
Other commissioners. however, held
that the appropriation. based on a
50pound pressure, was sufficient
for ordinary use, and that an in
creased appropriation WOULD be ex-
Cess.ve when it was considered that
not to exceed $500 would be requir-
ed TO replace coal burned in a year
to produce a higher pressure for fire
protection.
The commissioners also took the
stand that irrespective Of the ay
it was the moral obliga-

Strong Raid RenuIaed.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Repulsed
Of a strong raid upon American lines
in the Woevre sector, undertaken by
the enemy to get prisoners for iden-
LITIGATION purposes, is. described in
General Pershing's commun1que for
Tuesday,
The dispatch says:
Section A. Except for artillery
fighting in the Lorraine and in the
yosges the day passed quietly in
these sectors.
Section B. Details Of strong
hostile raid in the Woevre sector
have been reported. AT 1880 a. m.
Sept. Z, approximately 200 enemy i'm
fantry accompanied by twenty pio-
neers, raided our lines between Fir
ey and Lirney. A box bridge was
laid 200 meters south of the Me2
road The enemy entered the sec
tor and the outpost retired firing
toward the enemy. Dividing into
three detachments. the enemy tried
to encircle this group by a deployed
platoon.
Seven of the enemy were captur-
ed, two Of whom were wounded.
Three of the enemy were killed in
their trenches. The combat group
states that they saw many enemy
wounded being carried off by their
own men. Only one of our men was
captured. He escaped.
Interrogation Of the prisoners
captured established that the raid
was made to get prisoners for iden~
LITIGATION of the opposing troops As
no prisoners had been taken for 9
considerable time, it was decided
that large raiding party should be
sent out, made up OF units from each
regiment of the German division in
the sector. Volunteers were asked
for but as none was obtained, men
were conscripted for the raid.
"A second hostile raid on the same
day in the same sector was also re-
pulsed. Our casualties in the two
encounters were exceptionally light.
