The Red Cross Receives ~ Calls
For Help From Stricken Families
, AmdHaS1O Workers tOSubbLyNeed

At noon today there were listed
with the Red Cross u families in
need of help because of illness from
influenza in the family and there had
been 10 women Of Fargo who had
volunteered their assistance. These
were sent TO give help to the 10 fam
HES leaving II families In need, with
no one available to give the help 80
urgently required.
In the majority Of cases Of those
listed, the entire family is sick and
the help required is that which any
capable woman can supply. The con-
dttion Of a community being in dire
need Of such service Is not confined
to the local situation. 1t Is nation
wide and in practically every COM
muuity where influenza has struck
the population, an appeal has been
made to the women Of the commun-
ity to give the help which can not be
purchased under present conditions.
MANY women are tinid about Of
fering their help" said one worker
today who has ministered during the
last week to aclicted families. 1T is
not easy work but it is work that any
woman who has done the average
duties Of a household and who has
nursed any member of her family
through a simple illness, and who de-
sires to help, can provide. In the
majority of cases it means preparing
a little food as many Of those sick

BARN
BURNED DOWN

The Loudon barn at Third street
and First avenue north, occupied by
w. D. Morrow, was totally destroyed
by fire Wednesday afternoon, to-
gether with the contents.
A small blaze was discovered in a
manure pile in the rear of the barn
shortly after o'clock by Fred Levi
tire and w. r. Foulks who were in
the Moorhead Foundry. They called
the attention of a man in the barn
to the fire and supposed he had
stepped back to get a pail of water
to put it out. Instead OF doing so
he went the length Of the barn and
across First avenue to fire depart
ment headquarters to summon the
fremen.a The fire spread rapidly and
hay NOW, SO the chemicals were
useless to fight the ahmes and by
the time a line of hose was strung
and a stream turned on the rear
end Of the barn was burning fierce
~. s-..~
With the assistance of the Fargo
fire department several streams
were turned on the burning barn,
but all that could be done was to
prevent the fire from spreading to
other buildings. The intense heat
cracked the large windows in the
fire department headquarters on the
north side of First avenue and two
houses across Third street from the
barn were only saved from burning
by keeping stream of water play
ing on them continuously.
The barn was built in 1901 by
John l. Smith and cost $4,000, the
lumber bill alone beng over $1,000.
s.. A. Loudon, the owner of the barn,
said this morning that he only car.
ried $500 insurance. Until this
year he had carried $4,000 but cut
down the amount on account of the
high rates. Mr.. Loudon estimates
his loss at over $4,000.
w. D. Morrow, Iiveryman, who oc-
cupied the barn. carried $4,000 in
surance that only covers a part of
his loss. One OF his horses ran back.
into the barn, after being led out,
and was cremated. He also lost
several hacks. buggies, sleighs, har-
nesses and robes. Mr.. Morrow is To-
Gated temporarily at the Kiefer barn
on Sixth street north.

While several new cases of influ-

sitions.
The American attack began at
o'clock in the morning. The men
moved forward in the shelter Of the
forest, reaching the Aire at four
points agreed on, where the stream
could be forded.
Without attracting the attention of
the Germans the Americans then
waded into the cold water, which
reached their waists and even high
err, and pushed across the stream.
. On the northern bank they found
broad. mud fats into which they
sank half way to their knees. The
Germans by this time had discover
ed their approach and opened a bit
ter machoine gun fire, but the
Americans pushed steadily on. Be-
yond the mud banks, which were
crossed slowly and with the great
est difficulty, the Americans found
the Germans and closed with them
in a desperate hand to handfight.
Rifles often were used as clubs and
each man struggled to down his in
dividual opponent. ....
At II o'clock the Americans had
completely overcome the enemy, had
driven him into the woods north Of
