With The American Army North
west of Verdun, Thursday, Oct. a.
Two concrete .emplacements for big
guns were discovered west Of Yer
annes when New York troops ad-
vanced along the eastern edge Of the
Argonne forest. The guns had been
removed but engineers believe that
they were Austrian BOSS. The en-
placements were one hundred yards
apart and apparently were built more
than a year ago.
Big guns were scattered through
the Argonne forest and from day to
day have been taken by. the advanc-
ing New York soldiers. Among them
were two 1905 and several IT'S.
Roads leading from the Argonne
forest to Montfaucon and to Malan-
court have been found to be barred
by recently built concrete pillars as
a precaution against the operation
Of allied tanks. At safe distances
behind these pillars anti-tank gun
positions have been found.

Epidemic That Has Spread

SIX DEVELOP

erings Banned Cases
80 Should Be Isolated
SIX DEVELOP
INTO PNEUM0N

= over a hundred cases or. spanish
influenza, at least six of which have
developed into pneumonia, have been
reported by Fargo physicians.
Today DR.. Paul Sorkness, city
health officer, issued an official
statement advising against unneces-
sary public gatherings and urged the
isolation Of those infected with the
disease, as well as isolation under
observation of contact cases.
Children attending school who are
taken i'll should be immediately
taken out Of school, and children
who have been in contact with in
fluenZa cases should be kept out of
observed during that period, says
DR.. Sorkness.
In none of the six or more cases
in which pneumonia has developed,
have fatalities occurred. The ord
inary run Of influenza cases so far
reports is mild, except in a very
few cases.
Spanish influenza developes much
the same as ordinary Ia grippe" ;"
said DR.. Sorkness today, except in q
few cases, where the attack is very
sudden.
"A cold in the head, running nose
a cough, are symptoms that should
be the alarm for immediate atten-
tion. Those so infected should take
no chances on spreading the disease.
Cover every sneeze' would be a
good. slogan for everybody to bear
In mind.
AS precautton, all unnecessary
public gatherings should be abandon
ed, and all the affected persons iso-
lated, and in the case of children,
they should be excluded from the
schools.
Contact cases should also be ex-
cluded and be under observation for
at least ben days, and in the case Of
children, should not be readmitted to
the schools for at least ten days.
$50 far, only small percentage
of the cases reported in Fargo have
developed into pneumonia. about six
such cases being reported
Influenza Abroad Several Days:
The Spanish influenza has been
prevalent in Fargo several days, but
up to within the last 90 hours, Fargo
physicians had been unwilling to
diagnose them as being OF the Span
isf variety. They have now been
definitely established, however, as
the same disease rampant over the
entire country, and which has swept
Europe as well as. the United States.
While the disease begins as ordi-
nary grippe, it deveIopes into pneu-
monia in a large percentage of cases,
and therein hes the. cause of the
great mortality rate, in some sections
of the country.
DR.. sorkness said today. that the
progress of the disease is being
closely watched in Fargo, and he
asks physicians to make immediate
reports Of all cases. No stringent
orders for closing amusement places,
ETC., will be issued Immediately un-
less there appears a more general
infection than now supposed. @
