LIEUT.. RIDDLE TALKS AT YORK
Some Home Folks Visiting in Other
Parts Of the State.

Glover, S. c., May 24.-Special:
Those Of You who think that the war
will be over in something like year
may as well revise your estimates.
cannot tell you how long It will last; /.
but am afraid that we are In for
long war, and we may as we'll make
up our minds to It," So declared
Lieut.. Baxter G. Riddle, in an inter-
esting and instructive talk at the
daily evening prayer meeting in York
last Friday. Lieut.. Riddle was for
merly superintendent of the York.
vile Graded Schools. Having been
educated at the Citadel, he volun-
teered his services at the beginning
OF the war, went to Fort Oglethorpe
and was among the first Of the Amer
itan expeditionary forces to go
across. He has been in the front line
trenches. and has participated in
hot work that has resulted in much
bloodshed on both sides. He is back
in America with an insignia Of yete-
ran service on his arm. He Is not
here because he has been wounded or
incapacitated in any way, but as
representative of the boys over there
and as an experienced instructor to
the boys who are preparing to go.
He spoke of life on the firing line
as not being especially dangerous ex-
cept during attacks, and said the
front line trenches were the safest
places on the battle front-not even
excepting the best dugouts five or six
miles back. This, he explained, was
because the artillery could not fire
for fear of killing their own men, :
and the men in the opposing trenches
kept their heads out of sight.
In response to questions, Lieut..
Riddle said that he had been in sew
eral scraps with the Germans, and on
one occasion his company got six Of
them, two of whom were credited to
his platoon. He said the morale Of
our men is ideal, and went on to
say that the feeling of hatred so
common elsewhere did not exist
among them to any considerable ex-
tent.
"Our men," he said, Seemed to be
inspired with a feeling Of sportsman
ship-as If they were hunting deer
or partridges. They are tremendous
ly intent on killing Germans and are
exalted with pride over and success
in that direction. At the same time
they take their own losses as q part
, Of the game. That is the spirit that
is going to win," he declared.
When Lieut.. Riddle left France he
was promised that he would. be back
in three months, and he hopes that
he will be sent back; but as to that
he does not know, He has been. at
tached TO a company at Camp Cor
don, near Atlanta. Lieut.. Riddle is

The arrests were made by P. H

The red flag which the two men

were issued. The flag bears the in
scription, "Out with war and mill

Not the Only Flag
The flag now in the hands Of the
district attorney in Fargo is not the
only red flag the two defendants
have made and displayed, according
to Marshal Bowler, who returned to
Fargo last night. He said that resi-
dents of Kief had informed him that
the two men hoisted red flag at
Dogden, Mclean county, and on a
country school house near Kief. 4 In
the former instance. Marshal Bow
Ter was told, they lowered the Amer

ACTION In CASE
OF ICE COMP ANY.
WITHHELD BY THE.
FOODDEP PARTNENT.

Pending instruction from Wash
ington, no action will be taken in
the case of the Fargo Detroit Ice
company, which is charged with SELL
ing Red river ice instead of Detroit
lake ice to Fargo patrons, DR.. e. f.
Ladd, food administrator for North
Dakota, said this afternoon. The
company. it is alleged. failed to no
tify its ice patrons of the substitu-
tion. .,..a. ........,,.
"The investigation made yester-
day was at the request OF the au-
thorities at Washington" DR.. Ladd
said. 'T have reported the result of
the investigation to them, and will
await. their decision.
"Red river ice is safe for refriger-
alton purposes. but its use in drink
ing water incurs a good many risks.
The untreated river water is full OF
bacteria, and the use Of the ice in
cooling drinks, especially for sick
persons. might result very serious
iy."
John dollhouse, general manager
of the ice company, appeared before
DR.. Ladd yesterday at the latter's
request, and admitted that Red riv-
er ice had been sold, but stated that
drivers were given orders to tell the
patrons of the substitution.
Ice Shortage Blamed
In a statement today Mr.. Loft
house declared that the company
was compelled to serve the river ice
because of the shortage of lake ice.
For about % years the company
has continuously supplied the people
Of Fargo with Detroit lake ice" he
said. During all that time, until
very recently, the supply has never
been insufficient. This season. how
ever, owing to the very unusual
weather conditions, it has not been
equal to all demands. and in some
instances we have been obliged to
supply river ice.
"Our drivers have in such cases
had strict orders to warn all parties
SO supplied. Hospitals. offices, ho-
tells, public eating houses and other
places where lake ice has been used
for drinking purposes have always
been, and are now being supplied
with Detroit lake ice'
Ladd Issues Statement
Dr. Ladd issued the following
statement today:
Notice is hereby given that in
Yestigation reveals the fact that the
Detroit Ice company has for
some time been delivering Red river
ice to their customers in place Of
Detroit lake ice. This information
was not furnished to the public by
the said company when the change
was made. and this notice is hereby
given to the public that they may.
have due warning that the use of
this ice in drinking water may not
be safe and that the price paid
should be lower than that for the
Detroit lake ice

Central committee of North Dakota
and a member OF the National Nom

SO YOUNG WOVEN
TO ENROLL FOR
R. c. XMAS ROLL
CALL SATURDAY
Will Invade Business Dis
trict for Members Be
tween 2 and 5

Fifty young women Of the Fargo
branch of the American Red Cross
will canvass the business district in
the Red Cross Christmas roll call
between the hours of 2 and 5 o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
The announcement was made from
city roll headquarters in the audito-
rium this afternoon.
The inability of great many
workers to get on the job because OF
the rush incident to Christmas and
the uncertainty of finding people at
home have been factors in slowing
up the roll call in Fargo. Under the
plan announced roll call directors ex-
pect to secure at least 1000 member
ships.
In the last five days workers have
reported only one instance where a
person able to do so positively re-
fused 10 take a 81 Membership in
the Red Cross. The response has
been general in every district from
which reports have come.
Better Progress Noted
Reports to 10 o'clock this morning
indicate better progress in the roll
call. Partial reports from 81 of the
36 districts at that hour gave a to-
tai of 2,063 members and member
ship fees aggregating $2,523.
The total reported for Thursday
were 476 members and $610.
There is no question of the sue
cess of the roll call. if workers can
devote the time to thorough can
yass of their districts" J. P. Hardy
of the Fargo branch, said. 1.-THE re-
Spouse is excellent, buk not enough
ground has been covered"
No Reports From Outside
No specific reports have been re-
ceived from the county and the state
in the past two days, though re-
ports received indicate that the roll
call is everywhere progressing sat
isfactorily.
Ed. S. Johnson, Solen, roll call
manager for Sioux county, today adj
vised state headquarters that Indi-
ans on the Fort Yates reservation
were in the game with a will. and
would make a big showing. He add
ed that the feat of Albert Grass,
grandson Of the late Chief John
Grass, who killed "a Germans be-
fore he was himself killed in action
in France. is now generally known
among the Indians and is stimulat-
ing great interest in Red Cross work.

First Fin Case
Brought To The
State BY Marine

The first case of Spanish influenza
known in North Dakota developed at
New RorI<ford. whore a marine, who
presumably had not fully recovered
from the disease, visited few days
before the original epidemic broke
out, according to report made by
DR.. o. J. MeGurren, secretary of the
North Dakota board of health.
DR.. McGurren's reports Indicate
that the disease became epidemic in
practically all parts of the state in
less than three weeks, spreading over
the eastern part of the state in a
week or ten days, and hitting the
western part of the state ten days
after that.
DR.. MeGurren reports that many
teachers, liberated from their schools
when they closed, gave up their
lives combating the disease when
they acted as volunteer nurses.
Dentists. too, says sDr. MoGurren,
are entitled to special recognition be-
cause SO many Of them locked up
their Offices and took ssl1e medical
field, and worked with vigor in com.
