Crews of German ships self-interned
in Chilean ports recently attempted
to damage or sink the vessels.
On SepeteM'c1 s TIE Chilean gov
ernment took over the ships to pre-
vent further damage by the crews.
Since that time there has been much
agitation in Chilean political circles
as to whether the government should
not seize the German steamers.
Since shortly after the beginning of
the war Chile has been negotiating
with Germany for the use Of the
steamers. Germany agreed to give
Chile three ships, but on September 13
It was reported that the Chilean gov

MASSACHUSETTS NEEDs NURSES
AND PHYSICIANS

Boston, Sept. 27.-Health authori-
ties in Massachusetts, who have bat
tied unsuccessfully for days to check
the spread of influenza and pneumonia
today were awaiting the arrival of
physicians and nurses from outside
the state in response to urgent ap-
peals. DR.. Eugene r. Kelly, state
health commissioner, estimated that
500 physicians and 1000 nurses are
needed.
Virtually every available Massa-
chusetts woman with nursing exper-
ience has been pressed into service.
In some places physicians have found
it impossible to visit all the patients.

Mr.. Thiel also had a sale some
time ago and sold of his personal

the Mooreton country. He goes west
seeking TO improve his health, without
having made any definite plans for
the future.
They left Wahpeton via the Merj.
dian road south, until they reach the
great Ocean to Ocean Highway, which
goes through Omaha and Denver.
The Intention is to make the trip by
easy driving for the first few days, at
least they do not expect to make over
100 miles day.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Clausing is
making the same trip. They do not
start for couple of days, but expect
to overtake the others and complete
the journey with them.

DEATH RATE JUMPS
Increase In Army Camps Due Chiefly
70 Spread of Infuensa

Washington. Sept. 27.-Spanish in
aaensa. sweeping through all except
thirteen Of the army camps and appar.
entity beyond control Of local authori-
ties In many Eastern communities, has
caused . tremendous increase in the
death rate Of the army at home.
For week ended September 20 the
surgeon generals ONCE reported to.
day the death rate was "a per cent,
compared with 2.3 per cent the pre-
ceding week.
This increase was attributed in
large measure to influenza, but the
report pointed out that the figures do
not show the seriousness of the stu
alton, as since last Friday there has
been a further rapid spread of the
epidemic with many deaths.
While the epidemic heretofore has
been prevalent chiefly near the At
fantic seaboard, the surgeon generals
office said it may be expected to
sweep westward with still greater
increase in mortality in the next few
weeks.
Orders issued last night by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, cancelling
calls for entrainment of $4,000 draft
registrants between October and II
were due to the serious conditions in
many camps and were said by health
officials to be absolutely necessary at
this time.
Unless the disease obtains an un-
expected foothold in sections not pre-
viously affected. however. it is be-
lfeved that the next few days may
show decided improvement.
This will depend on weather condi-
tions. Continuation Of rain and cold
in New England is regarded as ex-
tremely detrimental to the effort to
subdue the epidemic there.
Overnight reports from Massachu-
sets gave public health oficials
much concern over the situation in
Boston and other cities. The closing
Of the schools. theatres and other in
stitutions in Boston is expected to
prove one Of the most effective means
of relieving conditions.

The world is using me o. X. Nothing
to kick about. Now weigh 14S1k

than weighed about four months ago
but that can be accounted for. You
see at that time l had been working
In an officers mess. Even began to
have a pot belly. Imagine that will
you. Oh, this is great army, most
Of the time.
I hear that the crops out there are
fine. Look good here. Most of It is
about cut now. Did I ever tell you
how they do their threshing? I don't
remember, but I will tell you now
anyway. The separator is similar to
our separator only on q very much
smaller scale. and more awkward
looking. The power II obtained By /

Then: the grain is- punched. together
and tied with chain. One day there
was a bunch Of Frenchmen out cutting
hay when along comes an American
soldier with real American mower
to cut on piece rented by the Ameri-
cans. 1t wasn't long before he had a
long string of men, women and kids
tagging along behind. guess they
didn't know what to think of It.
Talking of kids, that reminds ME
what nuisance these French kids
are. Abr 1T all most of them know ia

American who ever taugh them that
word. They remind me of the street
kids in Brooklyn, only it was worse
there.
1t is beginning to get little chilly
nights here. But after the sun gets
out in the morning 1t is nice and
warm again. neither too warm nor
too cool. Owing to the high altitude
of the part of France that am in the
summer is not very hot. There was
only few real warm days and they
did not begin to come up to the hot
days Of North Dakota. There has
been only one little thunder storm
here. There is. however, rain once

THE EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR
Live Stock

Ine SnOft0Ofn OreeQ as usual was
well repserented. D. Wright & Sons
took many of the prizes. Mr.. Wrights
herd is fine herd and is producing
good results. This herd fought to
afford no end of encouragement to
other breeders. It was very crafty
ing to see large number of short
horn breeders who brought in few
head, and many of whom were show
ing the first time. First among them
was F. e. Nunns Of Dwight, who
showed i've splendid yearling bulls.
The other shorthorn breeders who
exhibited stock were L. Springer of
Hankinson, Geo. Hedner Of Barney,
+. Sullivan Of Kent, and Lars Lodahl
Of Abssuronbie.
The largest Holstein herd present
was that Of Henry Chssik Of waAps-
ton. The Manfkowski Farm OF

show even under adverse labor con-
ditiuns.
The Angus breed was represented
BY nine head Of young heifers and
bulls of Mr.. starin's herd from wynd-
mere, and one bull from the Purcell

showing and furnished not a little
excitement by their unwillingness to

The Herefords, the Belgians and
Pefcherons were conspicuous by be-
ing almost entirely absent. They
have nothing to expect except TO get
behind in the race for popularity in
both State and County.
Swine and Sheep
A splendid show was put on in the
swine department. In fact It was one
OF the best shows seen on the grounds
Mr.. Lipvoski Of Lidgerwood showed
about 20 head Sf fine Poland Chfnas.
Mr.. Tarr Of Walcott was there with
his usual herd of Durocs. Wallace
Manikowski brought his Durocs and
. splendid show Of Yorkshires. Mr..
Bsrner Of Fairmount showed us few
'Befkshires. A good swine show
without . question: In tact It was
much better than appreciated ny
many at the grounds.
Shropshire sheep had q fair repre-
sentstion. The biggest thing was
that Of Mr.. T. 3. Cuttings cot Kent.
MINI. Mr.. Gullfnss has a good
flock. Wolf Bros. Of Collar she wed
couple Of good rams and some Mon
tana grade ewes and lambs. Earl
Pease Of Wahpeton showed his usual
herd Of Shropshires.
In the Poultry department Mr.. Hoff-
man from Willmar. Minn., sent US
some splendid exhibits Mr.. Hofr-

ing from the size of the exhibits we
need a good many enthusiasts before
we can have real live poultry show.
We need poultry show and we ought
