WAR RELIEF
Y.M.C.A.W0RK
ARE DISCUSSED
Judge Pollock of Fargo De
livers Convocation Ad
dress at "U."
Judge Charles M. Pollock of Fargo
delivered a strong address this morn
ing at the regular convocation of the
University of North Dakota on the
subject of "War Relief and the Y.
M. C. A. Work."
Acting President E. J. Babcock pre
sided over the meeting and read the
91st Psalm. The special music of the
morning was a baritone solo by Doyle
Watt. Mr. Watt sang a rollicking
sailor's song which because of his fine
rendition won him hearty applause.
Pollock Always Favorite.
Judge Pollock, who is always a
great favorite at the university was
greeted with an enthusiastic audience
and his address which was filled to
the last utterance with high patriotic
sentiments was often interrupted with
vigorous applause. He spoke in part
as follows:
"There are three important boxes
which have been said to contain the
elements of a pure civilization: the
cartridge box, the ballot box, and the
contribution box. It would be
rath­|mystery
er inappropriate for me at this time
to say much about the ballot box. The
boys in the trenches do the talking
about the cartridge box. But It is
my purpose to talk about the contri
bution box.
"The contribution box has been
wrongly named however. It should be
called the safety deposit box. What
you put in there you put in of the
holding which you have in charge as
a trustee. You are merely paying
your obligations there you are not as
you^ think giving.
"The government has taken the or
ganization which it found already to
act, and whose branches already ex
tending all round the world stood
ready to act quickly. Speed is para
mount at this time. So the Y. M. C.
A. has been used by the government
in the new system to add the home
touch to the army. It is this that
you are asked to support.
"This work calls for $7,000 from
the students of this state, and it is
your privilege to give this money. It
will mean a little sacrifice for you but
not a great one."
Judge Pollock's address opened the
campaign for the raising of funds for
the support of the relief work of the
Y. M. C. A. _____

NO POISON
TRACED IN
NORTHWOOD
MYSTERY
Two Chemical Examinations
Fail to Reveal Cause of
Double Tragedy.
No report was issued today by the
health laboratory at the university re
garding the cause of the mysterious
death of Olaf Boen and his son, Liester,
at Northwood last Monday. It was said
that the case was one of peculiar diffi
culties, and while it had been ascer
tained that the stomachs which had
been submitted to the chemists were
must inflamed, there was nothing yet
to Indicate what caused the inflamma
tion.
A third examination is now In
progress, the two previous examina
tions having disclosed nothing import
ant. It appears that at the present
stage of the Investigation no trace of
poison has been discovered.
This tentative report on the part of
the university -experts deepens the
more than ever, for it had
been taken for granted ever since the
discovery of the tragedy that some
kind of poison must have entered the
bodies.
States Attorney Theo. B. Elton
would not comment on the case today
beyond saying that he did not believe
murder had been committed, for there
were no marks of violence found
on the bodies. But he frankly admit
ted that he was in the dark more than
ever before and was unable to make
any guess as to the manner or' cause
of death.
Thus the status of the mystery is
unchanged and speculation is rife as
to the actual circumstances surround
ing one of the strangest tragedies ever
heard of in this state.
Unless the third examination re
veals the actual cause of death,' it is
probable that the mystery will remain
forever unsolved.
Dr. McLane, at Gilby, coroner of
Grand. Forks county, said this after
noon that he yas- certain that the
eath of father and son had been
caused by poison. The coroner said he
did not believe it would be necessary'
to exhume the bodies.
N.J.LOHREHAS
RETURNED FROM
LONG JOURNEY
Grand Forks Clergyman Vis
ited Many Canadian
Places in 12 Days.
Rev. X. J. Lohre, pastor of the
Trinity church in this city and gen
eral secretary of the Norwegian Luth
eran church of America, returned this
noon from an extended trip to Canada.
Mr. Lohre today completed a Jour
ney of 2,300 miles by railroad and 200
mil.es by automobiles after having left
here October 29. During bis absence
of twelve days he spoke in public
twelve times. The first occasion at
which Mr. Lohre delivered an address
was at the laying of the corner stone
of a new addition to the Outlook col
lege at Outlook, Sask. Mr. Lohre also
addressed a large audience at the- con
vention of the Young People's so
cieties of central Alberta circuit of
the Canada district of the Norwegian
Lutheran church. An address was
likewise delivered at Camrose Luth
eran college, Camrose, Alberta, the
earliest founded of the two Nor
wegian colleges in the British do
minion, situated about 300 miles
northwest of Outlook.
Mr. Lohre preached in the Gateway
to Alberta and Calgary, as well as in
Edmonton, where the Norwegians
have established churches. Return
ing home, the Grand Forks clergyman
visited the congregation at Winnipeg.
Tomorrow forenoon Rev. Lohre will
preach at Kongsvinger, Birkholtz,
Minn., and in the evening will occupy
his pulpit in the Trinity church in
this city.

MOVIE TOPIC
Women's Civic League As
sumes Sponsorship for
"Public be Damned."
"The Public Be Damned" is the
food conservation film which will be
presented at the Royal theatre on
November 19, 20 and 21. The pro
duction will be sponsored by the
Women's Civic league.
At a called meeting of the Civic
league last evening a discussion of the
matter was held, led by Dr. Mae
Saunders, chairman of the pure food
committee of theMeague. The league
voted by a small majority to assume
the sponsorship of the film.
The film indorsee the principles of
Hoover in the present crisis. It shows
Charles jlichman and Mary Fuller in
an expo&e of food speculation.
With prices soaring and every
household in the land feeling the
steadily mounting cost of living while
the European countries are clamoring
for more and yet more of our pro
ducts, the entire thought of the coun
try is centered upon the problem of
conserving and distributing our food
products, upon which vital factor
hinges our life as a nation and even
the issue of the present world war.
The Public Be Damned," a Public
Rights Film corporation picture di
rected and written by S. E. V. Taylor
deals with this tremendous issue and
is a hearty indorsement of Herbert C.
Hoover's food conservation policies.

AUDITED AT
HEARING HERE
,. -1 ..
GRAND FORKS HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1917
Some Dismissals on Ground
of Moral Disqualifica
tions.
Twelve aliens were admitted as
United States citixess this morning
aftet having been examined by R. K.
Doe, United States naturalisation ex
aminer, in the district court, with
District Judge Charles M. Cooley pre
siding. The hearing was continued
this afternoon when it was expected
that several of those who had not
been present during the forenoon
would put in an appearance.
The twelve men admitted to citi
zenship were:
Bernt Maijtln Nesdahl, Loyis Feish,
Bernt Grotte, Aaron Rockner, Ar
vid Algot Lager,' Harry F. Johanson,
Sain Shorn, Israel Greenberg, Joseph
Olson, Edward Nicki Johnson, Chas.
Miller Burgess and Mathlas Bloom
quist.
The examination of some of the
candidates for citizenship revealed an
amazing ignorance of civic condi
tions in this country, and Mr. Doe
recommended dismissal in several in
stances, with the added suggestion
that the unsuccessful applicants' try
to study the conditions of the country
a little more thoroughly before they
applied for papers again.
In one case an application was de
nied on the ground that the appli
cant was morally disqualified to be
come a citizen of the United States^
and in, another instance there was
considerable doubt as to the moral
qualification of a candidate. This
case was continued until 2 o'clock
this afternoon when the applicant
would have his'attorney represent
him in court. The continued hearing
started at 3 o'clock, the delay being
»u®.to
a
conference preceding the
further examination, but all cases
under consideration were then con
tinued until May 11. 1918.
Some Questions Asked.
Most of the applicants seemed to be
quite familiar with the government
establishments of the country. Mr.
Doe evidently did not insist so much
on extremely accurate answers as
upon an understanding of the spirit
of the nation's institutions.
In every Instance the applicant was
asked: "Have you been registered?"
Arid where men, within the prescrlb-
eiage
"niit classes,'answered in the
affirmative, they were asked to dis
play their registration card.
They were also asked: "Have you
«?,n When you are drafted,
will you then be ready to go to war
for the United States?" The answer
was always, "yes."
A Swedish candidate was remind
the strained relations between
his old country and the United States,
and was asked:
"In the event a war broke out with
44
•mm
Sweden on the side of the central
powers, will you then fight under the
Stars and Stripes against the land to
which you renounce allegiance?
The candidate unhesitatingly an
swered:
sir." I
Congress and Legislature."
A Canadian subject who was
thought from his general appearance
to be rather well informed regarding
the institutions of the United States,
was a bit hazy when he was asked to
draw a distinction between the con
gress and the state legislature at Bis
marck. He was admitted, however,
with the admonition from the judge
that he'd better familiarize himself
a little with the work of the legisla
tive bodies of the country.
One or two candidates did not off
hand know the name of the secretary
of Interior a few Insisted that the
president has a cabinet of five secre
taries one candidate (a Russian)
was not quite certain "Whether Grand
Forks was situated in Minnesota or
North Dakota, but as he otherwise
evidenced understanding of the Amer
ican' institutions and since a previous
examination had studied diligently,
he was admitted to citizenship.
What's the use of "coming out?"—
no taffy, no beaux, "no nothing."

Will Kaiser's Italian Success
Briafj Victory to the Allies?
"The collapse of the Italian Eastern front is disheartening to the Allies," says the Indianapolis
News, "not because it points to sure defeat, but because it postpones their victory."
In all sections of the country, we find the press discussing this staggering and unexpected
blow in a tone not of pessimism, but of increased hopefulness and grim determination. The Chicago
Tribune remarks "the Stars and Stripes are in the trenches to-day, and they are going forward there,
not back, forward till the enemy's power is beaten down, and he is ready for peace for all time while
the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph remarks that "Germany is making a fight to a finish and America
must deliver the knockout blow." A full-page map graphically explains the military operations.
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for November 10th, the leading article discusses from every
angle the recent retreat of the Italian army and its probable effect in bringing ultimate victory to the
Allies.
This number of "The Digest" is particularly interesting, as a glance at the following headings,
describing additional articles, will prove
