PNEUMONIA CLAIMS

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 25.-Four
deaths from Spanish influenza We're
reported at Bismarck hospitals today.
Two Of the victims were Bismarck
citizens and two came from surround
ing towns. The most prominent Of
those whose deaths, are listed today
was Rev. J.. G. Kock, pastor Of the
German Lutheran church of Bis
marck. Rev. Kock was a young man.
but 2 6syears old, and this was n of
his first charges. He had shown
great zeal for his work and had made
many friends in the capital city dur
ing his comparatively brief residence
here. HeN contracted Spanish influ-
enza about a week ago and he had
been on the point Of death for the
last three days, pneumonia having
developed. He made his home at 70S
Avenue B, where a young widow sur
wives him. A brother from Indian

we have suffered so much" 1t
is the chorus of all the mothers and
the daughters and the children. 1t
is what the prisoners say, From Ar
menia to Poland. from belgium to
Serbia. the cry goes up to Heaven.
So heartrending, and so universal is it
that, did craftsmanship forgive her,
did charity strive to forget, Germany
could not evade reprisal.
Let some sentimentalist in power
somewhere consent to compound
Germany's crimes. Let some mistak-
en- economist attempt a peace upon
considerations that ignore the spirit
ual necessities. A peace of such a
kind would satisfy neither Righteous
ness nor Providence nor the deep
heart of mankind. Such peace would
be, broken again and again until JUS
tice was satisfied. 4 y
The German nation must settle.
Sooner or later it must settle: The
German people must pay to the last
%pfenning. If to pay requires the
fruits of their labor for a generation,
still the bill must be met. And even
meeting it, they cannot pay for the
torture to which they have put the
world. Gods justice hereafter will
still have to deal with them.
AS much as they have made their
victims suffer, the Germans in return
will suffer. The anger of all Christ
endom long after peace has come
will surround them like a wall of
brass, will them like an
acid.

vided with one Christmas parcel
label. This label will be forwarded
BY him to the person in the United
States from whom he wishes to re-
cetve his Christmas package. 1t is

ages that 10 not bear this label will
not be accepted by the Red Cross for

LABELS THAT ARE LOST WILL
NOT BE DUPLICATED.
These labels are not expected in this
county before November 1, and by
that time each Red Cross branch will
have its allotment of boxes, based on
the number of soldiers in service over
seas from that community. These are

Dried fruits, and other food prod
ucts should be packed in tin or wood
en- boxes, one quarter to one;half

late nor anything that could possibly
be crushed should be used, as the re-
naming contents of the package
might be spoiled thereby. Several
dainties packed in oblong tin boxes,
! holding each a quarter of a pound

the gifts use a khaki colored hand
kerchief. 81 inches square.
When the package has been packed.
