LISTED FOR CONVOY
NORTH DAKOTA AND MINNIE
sofa GUARD REGIMENTS EX-
PECTED HOME SOON

Notice was issued from the War
Department during the past week to
the effect that the 164th. regiment
composed of Minnesoa and North Da-
kota Guardsmen was listed for early
convoy to America and doubtless Will
be mustered out shortly after their
arrival here.
Time For Celebration
One of the unfortunate, though un-
avoidable conditions that has sur
rounded the return of our soldiers to
their homes here in Williston and the
surrounding country is the fact that
they are compelled to slip back into
their homes singly and unnotlced.
The return of the 164th. OF which
our Co. E. is part will all get tnelf
discharge papers at the same time
and will no doubt return to Williston
in body.
Preparations should be made at
once to give the boys royal welcome
on their arrival and to also extend
our welcome to those who have al
ready returned at this time. If there
was ever time when we should cele-
brate it is when the boys come home
Parade and Dance
This certainly is the chance Will
liston and the whole state of North
Dakota has been waiting for and
preparations should be made to make
that day long remembered one. A
parade should be arranged for in
which all soldiers and people VINO
have taken part in war work should
appear. Let those Of the boys who
have already returned on their uni
forms again and march in the par
ade along with the boys who have
been to France.
Our Armory should be put in fit
condition for the occasion and a home
coming dance or ball put on in the
evening.
Now is the time to act and not
wait till the last minute when it is too
late. Plans should be drawn up as
soon as possible and the boys notified
of them on their arrival to the coun-
try so that they can make their plans
accordingly.
Let's get busy and show the boys
that We appreciate what they have
done for the folks at home by CIV
ing them the kind of welcome they
deserve

ILL.,"
Visits Colonel
+ Miss Stricken went to Oyster Bay
last Saturday to pay the colonel a
visit. She said:
AT that time the colonel was
sleeping in his room and did not see
him and there was nothing in the cir
cumstances Of the colonel's condition
that death was near. When Mrs
Roosevelt called me this morning and
told me Of the colonel's death | could
hardly believe it.
"Mrs. Roosevelt gave me no partic-
ulars Of his DEATH"
1t is understood that only Mrs.
Roosevelt and the nurse were with
him at the time Of his death. The
other members Of the family are in
other parts Of the country or abroad.
A telephone message received this
morning from Oyster Bay said that
Colonel Roosevelt had died at 4
o'clock this morning.
Colonel Roosevelt's last illness may
be said to date from last February.
On February 5 it was announced that
he had been removed from his home
in Oyster Bay to the Roosevelt hos
pital in this city following an opera
ton on one Of his ears. Soon after
his arrival at the hospital he under
went two more operations for the re-
moval of diseased tissue in his in
Tested ear and it was admitted at the
time that he was seriously i'll. He
remained at the hospital until March
During May and June the colonel
made a number Of addresses, speak
ing at Springfield, Mass, and in New
York. In June he made tour Of
the west during which he suffered
a slight attack of erysipelas in one
of his legs but refused to give up his
enga gements. Early in November,
the colonel was taken to Roosevelt
hospital in this city for the treatment
of rheumatism and sciatica. While
in the hospital reports became cur
rent that the colonel was more SER
iously i'll than his physicians would
to his home in Oyster Bay on Christ
mas day, remarking as he stepped to
the porch that he was "feeling bully"
The immediate cause Of Colonel
Roosevelt's death was pulmonary en-
bolism, or Judgement in the lung Of
4 clot from broken vein. it was
stated by one Of his physicians.
Death, it was said, come to him
as he slept.
Three physicians had been in at
tendance on the colonel since he was
taken to Roosevelt hospital seven
weeks ago. The patients trouble was

INFLUENZA killing
APES BY THOUSANDS
THE CONTROL OF EPIDEMIC IN
AFRICA DIFFICULT WITH BA-
BOON SPREADING DISEASE

Capetown, South Africa, Jan A.
A curious feature in conenction with
the epidemic Of influenza in South
Africa, where 10000 deaths have been
reported, and where it has left no
fewer than 1000 orphans in Cape
town alone is that the disease has
spread to the balloons in the outlying
districts, and they are reported to be
dying like flies"
1t has long been known that the
ape tribe contracts diseases which at
tack human beings, and the fact that
Influenza is decimating the baboon
family is Welcomed During recent
years balloons have been increasing
considerably in various districts of
the country, and they, have come to
be regarded as, next to jackals, the
greatest animal pests the farmers
have to contend against. They house
around valleys in broken country, and
are difficult to thin down.
The baboon has been pest in South
Africa from the earliest times, but in
recent years has become increasingly
so for the reason that he has begun
to change his habits. Formerly he
was vegetarian. He played havoc
with mealie and root crops, but he
respected the flocks and herds.
Now he is developing taste for
flesh, due, it is stated to his having
discovered that by killing young
lambs he can procure the milk the
latter have obtained from the ewes.
Sheep and goat farmers have been
and are suffering considerable losses
from raids.
From another point Of view how
ever, news of the spread Of influenza
to the monkey tribes is disconcert-
ing. 1t appears that the balloons are
carrying the epidemic in the Trans
vaal districts. This is likely to make
the task of the health authorities in
creasingly difficult.
