NORTHCLlFFEr GEORGE
WORD WAR CONTINUES
(By United Press)

London, July 30.---The NOrthclitfe-
Lloyd George war of words continued
h-iskly today. The press took up the
battle of charging Northcliffe with
the objectionable crime of dragging
the kings name into politics, despite
Northcliffe's denial of the interview
in which he is supposed to have
given the result Of the conference
between Lloyd George and the king
on the Irish question.
While accepting the denial, the
press finally insisted that an eNplana-
ton was needed as to why the inter-
view was printed in the American
edition of The Mail and not in the
London edition. 1t was said to be
evident that one of the editors, see
ing the possible effect of the inter
view and believing his chief had been
misquoted, suppressed the story in
later edition of the paper. The enron
icle, a Lloyd George paper, declares
that Northcliffe appears to have gone
to the United States with intentions
of doing his utmost to make Lloyd
George unpopular there.

HEALTH BOARD OFFERS
MORE DATA ON DISEASE
Symptoms of Unusual Outbreaks
of Disease Explained By
State Board

Another circular has been received
from the State Board OF Health for
the information of the public regard
ing preventable diseases and it con-
'tains further details concerning pol
|iomyelitis.
Since the middle of April, centered
about Sebeka, Wadena county, and
extending into the surrounding coun-
ties, there has occurred an unusual
outbreak of disease in which early
cases were so mild that medical at
tendance was not sought. The at
tention of the State Board of Health
was first called to this outbreak
about June 10 by physicians of Me-
nahga and Sebeka.
Most s es, at first studied, pre-
scented 3. or less marked menin-
geal sy e S; many cases recovered
without e rent muscular impair
ment aft y rief illness of four or
five days! q 1ren made up most of
the casesA g. ew adults being at
tackled. N e cases occurred in
a large nun "a families and con-
tact was trat q large percentage
of cases.
The sympto rule, show a
sudden onset, y ,Arature 1O3 to
1O5, pulse rapfI,> Headache, vertigo,
stiff neck, pain in legs, vomiting and
constipation present in majority of
cases. Headache, stiff neck, pain in
legs were common to mild cases; sore
throat present in some, both drowsi-
ness and restlessness common; in a
few cases patients were very drowsy,
going to sleep while being examined,
'delirium uncommon. Muscular i'm
pairment varying from slight weak
ness to complete paralysis of muscle
groups has occurred in about 10 per
cent of cases.
More than 100 cases have been
studied by representatives of the
State, Board of Health and but 10
deaths have occurred. A careful
clinical study of cases combined with
laboratory examinations or more than
40 spinal fluids, together with au-
topsy studies in one case, leads to
the opinion that this is an outbreak
of polio encephalo-myelitis, that is,
the disease is essentially epidemic,
anterior poliomyeltis with the ence-
phalitic type predominating.

HARDER WORK AHEAD FOR
REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS
Harding Administration Is Now
Settling Down to Real Task
that Confronts 1t
L. C.. Martin

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, July 30.---The end OF
July finds republican politicians in
Washington declaring that "the
honeymoon is over"
By this they mean that the Hard.
ing administration is settling down
to the real tasks that confronted it
'rhe politicians are sorry, for "honey.
moon," to them, means the time OF
giving out choice patronage.
Important jobs remain to be dis
tributed. it Us true, including many
connected with. the enforcement OF
prohibition. which are more sought
after than any other kind. But Hard,
ing. having taken care of major APP
pcintments, has not turned over
much Of the patronage work to John
r. Adams, new chairman of the Re-
publican national committee. He
was forced to this. his friends say
by the increasing pressure of more
important public business.
Politicians are interested in the
alleged end of the honeymoon pc
riod," also because to them it marks
the time when they may cease to be
as careful, tactful and yielding to the
heads OF the party, as was consld-
cred necessary during the time when
the disposition of important jobs
might hang. in the opinion at least OF
some jCbseekers, on a smile or a
pleasant work or a vote in congress.
In other words, the wise and weary
political observers who stay around
Washington year after year, are now
watching for a little more indepen-
dence from 1.-The boys" when their
views happen to conflict with those
of the president or some OF his ad-
visorS.
The Administration Is now run
ming full speed ahead, its observing
friends report. Its critics, equally
observing, admit that it has begun tC
show signs of life. and they are care
fully Watching for mistakes. Here
are some of the 'irons in the fire:
The disarmament conference.
NEGOTIATIONS and legislation per-
tanning to refunding of principal and
interest Of 81 1000, 0O0,O O0 IN lorelSl
loans.
Settlement of the Pacific question

ganization committee is soon to be
made.

OPINIONS ARE VARIED
ON DISPOSAL OF BEER
(By United PresS)

Buffalo, July 3O.-Police are an
ticfpating a small riot when Wey-
lands restaurant on Main street is
torn down to make room foria new
hotel, as the cornerstone holds two
dozen bottles of real beer that were
placed lin the stone in 1901.
What will be done with the "vile
stuff" is a widely discussed question
in Buffalo. Prohibition advocates
want the beer to be placed in a
museum or sent to the historical
society to be placed on exhibition SO
that the little boys and girls who
grow up without ever hearing Of beer
will know what the fatal stuff that
made their ancestors such a low lot
looked like. The stronger element OF
the prohibition party declare it
should be destroyed.

Visiting kiwanians Able to
Play Cool Game of Golf .,
Because of Weather
WILL ENJOY FISH FRY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON
Country Club Golf Course to
Be Scene of Much Action
All Day Sunday

Despite the cool weather, visiting
Kiwanians, in the city for the charter
presentation ceremonies this evening,
are being entertained as we'll as pos
sib!e. Only about 20 had registered
at the Elks' club rooms at noon, but
far more than that number were in
the city.
Golfirg at the Bemidji County club
course, north of Lake Bemidji, fur
nished the majority of the pastime
for this forenoon and afternoon, and
those who did not participate in the
game, busted themselves about the
city. With today's weather condi-
tions, it was easy to imagine that
even the local golfers played a cool
game. A cup has been offered by the
local club for the city turning in the
best score in the tournament which
started this forenoon and was to be
finished this afternoon.
This first general get-together of
the Kiwanians is to be at 5 o'clock
this afternoon, when fish fry will
be held on the grounds Of the State
Teachers college. If rain interferes
at that time, the fish fry will be held
in the new armory.
The Bemidji Kiwanis club will re-
ceive its charter this evening with
appropriate ceremonies at the new
Birchmont summer hotel. This will
be followed by band concert by the
Juvenile band, and later by an in
formal dancing party for the Kiwani-
ans and their invited friends. District
Lieutenant Governor J. O.. Pollock of
Fargo will present the charter.
Although the Bemidji Country club
is playing an important part in en-
tertaining the local and visiting XII
wanians today, the course is also be-
ing used BY q number Of visitc
from Grand Forks, Fargo and St.
Cloud, who are practicing for the in
ter-city tournament to be held to-
morrow.
Lunch will be served on the greens
tomorrow at noon for rs cents and
it is. expected that the golfers will
"make a day of it, at the course.
Competition in tomorrow's tourna-
ment promises to be keen, and one of
the largest crowds ever seen on the
local course is looked for.

Riga, Latvia, July 30.---A fight has
begun betweens STARVING hordes in
Russia and inhabitants of districts
not touched by famine, according to
unofficial dispatches received here
today. A party of hungry refugees
were massacred at Ekaterinburg
when they tried to rush the town and
seize food.i
One report said 10000 men, women
and children were dying daily in the
famine districts. Soviet papers adj
nit that scurvy and other epidem-

AS the long columns of ravenous
victims swooped down on towns
where there is plenty of food, the in
habitants captured them and tried
to turn them aside by force.

reported. The advisory board mem
bers are business and professional
men and women who have banded to-
