Fine Temporary
Homes Wanted
For FiUe Babies

At the Florence Crittenton home
there are five babies who are quite
well.
The family at the home numbers
some 80 people but it is easier these
days to tell how many are well rath-
er than those that are sick. There
are % people i'll in bed at the home
and today Lillian Topping, superin-
tendent made public an appeal for
five families in Fargo to volunteer to
take care of the five babies who
are quite well for two weeks. The
children range in age from year to
three years. With so many i'll and
the available help reduced, 1t is be-
coming a real problem to care for
these little folks at the Home. The
children are not eligible for adop-
ton and when conditions are again
normal at the Home, they are to be
returned. Their mothers are not at
the Home but are young women
whom the institution is helping.
I'VE are reaching the limit of our
There are 23 people i'll in bed, the
matron is sick and our help is sick
and 1t is really O problem to give
adequate attention to these little
folks. If five families who could
give good care to the babies would
volunteer to each take one for two
or three weeks 1t would be Of the
greatest service to us. Many women
are unable to leave their homes for
work and to them we especially ap-
peal. We would like these children
placed by tomorrow morning. The
first to come will be the first to have
choice. The oldest tot is three
years and they range in age all tha
away down to a year old Anyone
who will assume the care of one Of
them for this temporary period is
most urgently invited to telephone
the home this evening, $685."

Refugees Tell
Pathetic Story

Grand Forks, N. D., 2S.-The pa
thetic story of Belgian refugee is
wound up in a letter sent by Suzabba
Forceville, Contress, France, to Miss
Hflda Knutson of, Grand Forks, in
which the girl, who has become &C
quainted with Miss Knutson's soldier
brother, Oscar Knutson Of Grand
Forks, tells of her very great pleas
ure at being able to converse with
the American soldier in his own
tongue, which she says she has learn
ed since the war.
"a Sunday night, the Germans
came to our town, Weuve-E nglise, "
writes the refugee. I'VE had to give
them everything for nothing, and
they were very hard on the people.
They have shot my aunt's husband,
and killed our neighbor with their
bayonets; that was really awful.
After IA days the English troops
drove the Germans out, and three
miles over our town, but then we
were shelled by the Germans. During
six months slept in the cellar,
thought to be safe there, but was
not. In March, 1915, I left Belgium
and went to the north Of France.
The refugee says she has been
painting camouflage three years, and
has been very near to the front most

crecy" had marked the conduct of

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,

committee Immediately replied to
Senator Knox and the discussion

ANNOUNCE TODAY
Influenza Situation in Far

There are no cases of diptheria
black or otherwise, in Fargo OF
Moorhead.
Authorities for the statement arc
DR.. Paul SorkHess, Faros city
health officer, and Or. o. J. Hagen
Moorhead city health officer.
Reports that there were diptheria
cases in the two cities have been
prevalent for a week, and Sunday a
report was current that all hospitals
in the two cities had been quarantine
cd because of the disease. All reports
are vigorously denied today.
,, reports of diptheria in Fargo are
absolutely without foundation" Dr.
lSorkness said today. "a cannot &C
count for their source. A statement
that there is black diptheria is utter
" absurd, for there is no such
diagnosis"
e., There is absolutely nothing to ths
eFumors. There are no cases in
,Moorhead," DR.. Hagen said.
=, Paul Vik, superintendent at ST.
:Luke's hospital, Fargo, today denied
'that ST. Luke's hospital had been
guaranteed, and added that there
wore no diptheria cases in the hos
pitaI.
-, The reports are attributed to the
fact that the condition of the bodies
, of persons dying from pneumonia
following influenza is similar to
deaths in cases of diptheria, high
pressure in the lungs due TO choking
driving the blood to the head and
shoulders and giving them a black
color, according to DR.. sorkness and

day, there being but 40 new cases, all
mild, reported. in the past IS hours.
-Four deaths occurred in Fargo dur
ing the period, and none in Moorhead.
The Fargo city commission met IN
special session today to consider the
situation. but on the recommendation
of DR.. Sorkness, city health officer,
voted against a relaxation Of the
