Relics Of the War

Rev. John Calfee. the Methodist
minister the first of the week re-
ceived from his son in France the
piece Of shrapnel shell which
wounded him in the leg. passing
through the limb in the fleshy part,
but not injuring the bone. The
young man is around again, and al
though not able to take up his for
mer work, he is one of the cooks
for his battery.
Another relic received from the
battlefield was German steel he'll
met, which was sent to Miss Helen
Wood by an American soldier in
France. and which will be treasur-
ed as a reminder of the great war
between autocracy and democracy.

The ArniStiCe

The full terms Of the armistice
are not yet published, but they are
such that Germany will not be able
to renew the war even We're she in
clinad to d. t. An outline Of the
terms include:
Immediate retirement Of the Ger
man military forces from France,
Belgium and Alsace Lorraine.
Disarming and rehabilitation
of the German armies.
Occupation by the Allied and
American forces Of such strategic
points in Germany as will make i'm
possible a renewal of hostiities.
Delivery Of part of the German
high seas fleet and all of their
submarines to the Allied and
American naval forces.
Disarmament Of all other Ger
man warships under supervision of
the Allied and American navies,
which will guard them.
Occupation of the principal Ger
man naval bases by sea forces of the
victorious nations.
Release Of Allied and American
soldiers, sailors and civilians held
prisoners in Germany without re-
ciprocal action by the associated
governments.
The armistice was signed at 5 o.
clock p. m. Paris time. and hostil-
ties ceased at Ii O'Clock the follow
ing morning
The late reports from Germany
indicate that the whole country is
seething with revolt, nearly all the
large cities being held by the rev.
olutionists and this was the cause
of the Kaiser's flight to Holland !,
where he and his attendants have
been interned.
The German fleet is in the hands
of the revolutionary party. and
there are some indications that the
navy may refuse to abide by the
conditions of the armistice and re-
fuse to surrender, but this will only
prove so much worse for the fleet.

War Work Funds to be ApprOpri-
dted by County

At the meeting of the county
commissioners last Saturday, COM
mittee representing the United
War Work Committee to provide
funds for Grants county's appor-
ton, presented the matter to the
board. Members Of the various
societies so far as they are organiz-
ed here, were on the committee,
and represented the Y. M. C. A.,
the National Catholic War Council
and Jewish Welfare board. The
matter was presented to the board
ON behalf of the committee by Prof.
Souder. The attorney general has
outlined the procedure for the
board to follow under the legisla-
tion enacted for war relief appro-
priations, and the action Of the
board will thus obviate hard cam.
paign for voluntary subscriptions.
which under present conditions it
would be almost impossible to Sc
cure in sufficient amounts to make
the apportionment allotted to the
county. The assessment on the tax
able property will not be 50 heavy as
to be burdensome, and the contribu-
tons will be more equitably dis
tributed than it would be by a vol
untary campaign with all its waste
for energy and expense.
When the original call for funds
was made the total was placed at
S175, 100000. but with the larger
army sent to Europe it was dis
covered that the needs would require
SO per cent more, and the demand
has been made upon each state to
increase its quota that much, and
the counties have each been called
upon for the same increase, so that
South Dakota quota is placed at
Sl.312, 500, and Grant county's
proportion based on population,
would be S25, It's, and it is this
amount which the board has agreed
to appropriate for the next year.
1t is simply one of the expenses
which the great war has made
necessary. The money will go for
the comfort and physical, moral and
mental help Of Americas young Z
men in the army in both Europe
and America.

influenza Lid SIN On

The county board of health held
a meeting last Friday morning and
after canvassing the situation in
regard to influenza, concluded to
postpone the lifting of the quaran-
tine for another week. There had
been few new cases in light form
during the week, and the board be-
lieved that there would be little
danger in opening the schools and
taking off the quarantine, but they
wanted to be on the safe side, and
concluded to hold off another week
before removing the quarantine in
the city, but gave the county super
intendent the privilege of opening
the schools in communities where
there had been no infection in the
neighborhood.
Our city has been extremely for
tunate in relation to this disease,
which has ravished so many COM
munities. So far there has not
been death from this disease in
the city, and the cases Of infection
have not been numerous. This has
undoubtedly been due to the prompt
action that was taken by the health
authorities in clapping on the lid
before the disease became epidemic,
and our people may congratulate
themselves that this early action
was taken and that so far we have
had few cases and no fatal ones in
the city.
The medical authorities declare
that there will probably be cases
Of the disease breaking out all dur.
ing the winter, but if these are
properly isolated there will be lit
tie danger Of the disease becoming
epidemic.
Persons are warned against visit
ing the homes where the disease is
located. and altho there is no state
law for quarantining the homes,
yet it wonld be a good thing if
people would be law unto them
selves in keeping away from the in.
| fection, and only those who are re.
quired to nurse or assist in caring
for the sick be permitted 20 be
where the disease is.
