FEW NEWCASES
OF CHLlDREN|'|'S
DISEASE FOUND
Physicians Still Differ as to
True Mature of
Ail1ner1t.

AS an apparent result Of the public
lty given to the fact that a children's
disease, variously diagnosed as
diarrhoe and ileo %colitis, has been pre-
valent in the city for the past few
weeks. greater care has been used In
number of new cases reported is con-
sequently much smaller than it was,
Tor instance, two weeks ago.
Among the physicians there is a
tendency to disagree as to the exact
nature OF n disease which has claim
ed fourteen victims in the city within
the last three weeks or so. and from
which a number of c~hildren-and
some adults-are still suffering. Some
physicians agree with the statement
made the other day hat the disease
may be ileo ;%colitis, a form of dissent
cry, while others are firm in their
conviction that the cases concerned
are nothing but ordinary summer
complaint"
One physician who opposes the ileo
COLTS theory, said this afternoon: +
The disease is not ileo %colitis; In
fact, it Is no disease at all-it's the
We were children, and there is moth
ing extraordinary about its appearance
here
When the physicians attention was
called to the unusual number Of
deaths occurring among children re-
Gently. he said that even the number
could not be considered extraordi-
nary; he added that it was unwise to
give publicity to a matter Of this kind
and that attempts to discuss the dis
ease in public were indicative of q
characteristic newspaper tendency to
create sensation. The fact that people
in general have been thankful for the
advice given at the instigation Of
newspapermen was mentioned to this
physician. who, however, persisted in
thinking that sit's all rot"

GENERAL ADOPTION
OF GOLD STANDARD
URGED BY BANKER

Portland, Ore, Sept. 11.-General
adoption of the gold standard by all
nations throughout the world after
the war, and a consequent increased
demand for gold was predicted by
John Clausen, vice president of the
Croker National bank, San Francis
co, in an address before a conference
of Pacific coast bankers and clearing

very serious. state Of affairs confronts
the world which is likely to affect the
economic position Of all peoples" said
Clausen in commenting on reports of
gold mines closing down because Of
increased costs of operation.
eff prices and wages are increased,
so far as they are paid in gold" he
continued, sit will require a proper
tionate amount of money to meet the
higher costs. It follows as a matter
of ourse that a larger circulation Of
money is required to meet the de-
mand. While the quantity of gold
available as money is seen to exert an
influence in the direction Of raising
or lowering prices it would seem
equally certain that as international
commerce progresses and the system
of credits expands, an increased

The tendency to a further rise in
prices Is likely to continue for many
years, according to Clausen, who Of
fered no remedy for the situation
but urged a careful consideration of
the problem by the bankers.

FUNDS DRIVE

IN NOVEMBER
Seven Organizations Will
Join in Immense
Campaign.

Common cause will knit seven big
national organizations together in an
immense war fund drive which will
take place during the week of No
Yember H. and much interest in the
preliminary arrangements Is being
evinced by local people, members and
non-members Of the organizations
which will undertake the joint drive.
At first the plan was to merge only
War Camp Community Service and
the America Library association, but
o rumors became persistent that
the Knights Of Columbus and other
organizations also were about to par
ticipate in the work.
The latest official information re-
ceived in Grand Forks Is an an
nouncement from Raymond B. Eos
dick, who represents the war depart
ment, that the National Catholic War
Work Council (Knights of Column
the Salvation Army, will combine
with the four organizations in a COM
mon campaign. This announcement
makes plain to those interested the
manner in which the task Of these ma
'tional bodies has been simplified in
raising money and giving the coun-
try an opportunity to contribute at
one time to what is in reality a COM
mon cause"
Next week a conference will be held
In Fargo, preceded by several meet
ings during the present week, for the
purpose Of discussing the plans for

FOR BIG RUSH
All Unregistered Men of
Ages Between IS and As
!. Must Respond.
OF DUTY
TO BE PUNISHED
About 1900 Expected to
Come Forward in Grand
Forks City and County.

All is in readiness for the second
general registration Of men for Sc
lective military service which will be-
gin tomorrow morning at o'clock
Inc continues until 9 in the evening.
Thirty-eight registrars have been APP
pointed in the city n will be sta
toned at the polling place Of each
precinct; in the rura district 46 reg
istrars will represent the federal gov
eminent in the greatest single days
work of its kind that has ever been
undertaken.
1t is not optional with unregistered
men between the ages of 1S and as to
register. They must do it by orders
of the president. and failure to do so
will result in punishment and other
very unpleasant consequences. The
march to the polling places tomorrow
is not to be considered a voluntary
movement. Men go there because the
United States is engaged in a war
which must be won, and which cannot
be, won without the actual and
whole-hearted support of each in
dividual.
The fact that a man registers does
not necessarily mean that he will be
drafted for overseas service, but 1t
does mean that the government is in

available men are at its disposal. The
registration is largely in the nature
of a military census, and the process
of selection which will be made on
the basis of questionnaires to be dis
tributed later on, will result in the
induction into service of millions Of
men as we'll as in the practical exemp-
ton Of other millions. 1t is under
stood, from the announcements that
have emma from tho uyor dane ~ ont
within the last week or so, that more
elasticity will be applied to the second
draft than to the first, and above all,
care will be taken to disrupt the
country's indispensable industries as
