OUR TERMS OF PEACE. Fourteen principles for a just peace laid down by President Wilson, January 8. 1918. 1.—End of secret diplomacy. 2.—Freedom “of the seas. 3.—Removal of trade barriers. 4.—Reduction of trade barriers. 5.—Settlement of colonial ¢laims in accordance with the interests of the populations. 6.—Evacuation of and freddom of Russia. 7:—Restoration of Belgiu <> SPANISH INFLUENZA. No oécasion for panic need be found in City Health Officer Strauss’ order closing all public places in Bismarck, forbidding public meetings | and assemblies and prohibiting the congregation | of children on the streets. Such an order does not | necessarily mean: that the Spanish influenza situ- ation in this city is so critical as to occasion gen-| eral alarm. The conditions, however, are such as} should inspire a wholesome respect for the pre-| cautions which Dr. Strauss wisely has urged. 1 Bismarck was the last large city in North Da-; kota to come under the ban. Until two days ago} the capital was comparatively free from anything | that resembled the epidemic. Then there was | such an outbreak of influenza, of Spanish or other varieties, that medical men of the city, in confer- ence, agreed that quarantine restrictions were ad- visable, as a means of checking further spread of the disease and to aid in its early eradication. Bismarck’s part is to remain calm, to keep cool, |; to watch its health, and to obey to the letter the orders of ‘the health department. No club nor society should think of holding a meeting while this ban continues; stores and of- fices should see to it that their workers have plenty of fresh air; sneezers should avoid public places. Coughs and colds should be Jooked after; children should be kept off the streets and care- fully:watched for symptoms of the plague. Phy- sicians should be consulted upon the first appear- | ance of anything that resembles influenza. | Spanish influenza is not necessarily fatal, but it is dangerous and most decidedly debilitating. If you can avoid it, that is the thing to do. Some simple rules for guarding against influenza are given by Surgeon General Rupert Blue, U. S. A, as follows: “Keep the body strong by a proper proportion of work, play; rest, that there may be vitality to fight against disease germs. | “Keep the body well clothed; eat ‘sufficient. wholesome and properly ‘selected food. “Prevent oveFcrowding at home and in the of-| fice. Attempt: not to inhale directly the air breathed by another person. “Especially beware of the person who coughs or sneezes without covering his mouth or nose. Keep out of crowds and stuffy places. Spend as| much time out of doors as possible.” | TOWNLEY’S CABINET. The venerable Justice Robinson has consulted | the oracles and predicts that A. C. Townley has a reasonable show to become president of these | United States. He might suggest an appropriate cabinet against that day. Just picture the irrepressible A. C. T. surround- ed by Art. Leseuer, “Bill” Haywood, Coates, “Bill” Lemke, attorney general, and Jack Hastings, sec- retary of the treasury. Then there is Debs who might be induced to} head the department of labor and “Bill” Langer could be persuaded to take the portfolio of secre- tary of state. His temperance record is as good| as “Bill” Bryan’s. Genial “Jim” Waters would make a neat little secretary of the navy. Probably Lynn Frazier would feel at home as secretary of agriculture. With such a galaxy of talent who would be pre-| sumptuous enough ‘to fear for the safety of the republic! DAYBREAK OF DEMOCRACY. War time brings with it bitter exigencies, tra- vail and the sorrow of partings distressingly in- definite. Homes are shattered, families scattered and fe} each day is a dull slate gray, for many despair or are near it in spirit, © 5 Those who were fireside fellows, to whom affec- tits were,sacred, who felt the responsibility moral if not financial dependents, leave the deepest grief in wake of their departure—and | shop wisely, and get HIS package off in time.

JER. DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING EARLY. ‘Tis an.old slogan, renewed this year with seri-. ous purpose and with the sanction of the federal government. For, ’tis “shop early” for the Yanks over there, or not at all. The Tribune presents in its news columns today regulations laid down by the war department for the trans- mission of Christmas packages to the Yanks in foreign service. These rules will be rigoroysly enforced. Therefore, shop now, shop well and you imagine HIM, in the trenches over there, without HIS Christmas box from home when the other boys get theirs. On this subject the council of national defense issues the following statement: “The council of national defense has heretofore emphasized the necessity of restricting Christmas buying during the coming fall for certain specific reasons which he has stated. These reasons are in brief the necessity for saving labor and material in the manufacture and sale of Christmas gifts and of.saving the transportation and delivery facilities necessarily involved in the large volume of Christmas purchases, : “The retail interests represented at the confer- ence have agreed not, to increase thir working fore by reason of the holiday business over the| average force employed by them throughout the! year and not to increase the normal working hours of their force during the Christmas season. They also sgree to use their utmost efforts to confine Christmas giving, except for young children, to useful articles end to spread the period for holiday purchases over the months of October, November and December. In order to relieve the transporta- tion facilities of the country from a congestion in the latter half of December, which would be so hurtful to the interests of the nation that it can- not be permitted, the retail interests represented at this hearing have agreed to co-operate further in the campaign heretofore and now being carried on under the auspices of the war industries board to restrict deliveries and to induce their customers to. carry their own packages wherever possible, “This announcement ‘is definitely conditic ; pon losh'i titough co-operation in sprit and Select Service Men Hard Hit in Early Ravages of’Epidemic at NOTED FRENCHMAN | Michigan Camp—Malady N Control. Battle Creek, Mich., Oct. 10.—Camp Chster is gaining in its fight against Spanish influenza. Today’s”_ figures showed a net reduction of 500 cases over the preceding 24 hours, though there were 28 deaths from pneumonia. For the first time in several days, the) 4 at Camp Custer, where hundreds | > -of-North Dakota boys are being train- ed, numbered below 6,000 today—5,794 to be exact. During the 24-hour. per- iod, 1,084 were discharged as, conval- escent-and returned to their regi- ments. At the same time, 605 new cases adeveloped, but they were of a mild nature, and the net gain of 500 pleased the medical officers.) The past 24 hours’ toll brought the numer of deaths since September 28 to 120, which, Camp Custer, is small as compare‘ with other camps. The death roll will grow, but it seems certain that fewer cases will be added to the hospital ligt daily from now on. Thousands of men have not even showed symptoms of.the malady and all the well ones are watching their health with a care Seldom found in any army camp. -Ten North Dakota boys-have died witnin the past 48 hours. They are: George Haider, 77th infantry, St. Anthony, 'N. .D.; Geo. Leugar, 77th’ infaytry, Mooretown, N. D.; Edward Hooey, «7th infantry, Farmdale, N. D.; Henry §. Lamhart, 77th infantry; Ear), N.

D.; Russel: Habble, 160th depot brigade, Beach, N. D. New Cases Isoiated, Luck may have helped’ the success. of'the fight against Spanish influenza, but the hard work of the medical of- ficers and their effective quarantine have been larger ‘factors: ““Séveal new methods of isolation have been tried and incipient ‘cases have been discovered in time to ward off seri- ous phases. ‘Bodies of all dead North Dakota soldiers will be sent to their home towns immediately.. No bodies are disposed of until the relatives are lo- cated and their wishes learned. In most cases, however, the home folks have been notified in time to ‘be with their boys at the hour of dissolution, Civilians have literally surrounded the newspaper correspondents, to ex- pess their appreciation of the cour- tesies extended them by the military authorities. The tendency at first ev- ident to insist on being allowed to take the sick lad home was soon dis- seminated, when the relatives saw how avell the sick were cared for at Custer.
