CHINA NOT A PARTY.
Red Cross Nurses May Fail to be
Recognized by Chinese Army.


Washington, July 2S.-One of the pha-
ses of the trouble in China, which here
tofore has been overlooked, but which
may prove to be of great Importance is
the fact that China is not a party to the
Geneva Red Cross convention by which
the signatory powers bound themselves
in time of war to respect the Red Cross
and to treat surgeons and nurses belong

cOmbatantS.
China did not sign the original treaty

of the world which has not joined in this
convention which assures the safety of

OF the women nurses who are being sent
to the far east from landing in China
for duty there. This, however, will de-
pend largely on the view taken by our
commander in China. There are 10 fe-
male nurses on the transport Grant with
General Chaffee. They were destined
for the Philippines, but might be landed
in China if General Chaffee considers
that the conditions are such that they
could be useful and not put into unnec-
esSary peril There are also five nurses
on the sumner. which sailed from San
Francisco on the 18th. These also can
be diverted for service in China if Gen.
Chaffee desires.
Lieut.. Anita Newcomb Magee who is
in charge of the corps of army nurses
says that there are now las army nurses,
practically all of whom either are in the
Philippines, stationed at the hospitals of

s. STOP THEFT"

1t is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry of
stop thief and so putting the public
on false scent.
There is a certain kind of advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
of his tricks is to tell women that it's
"revolting" to write to a man in con-
sultation about disease. "Women
should write to woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
to write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the adj
vice offered is that of a physician. But
a close examination shows that there Is
no physicians advice offered and the
whole c1amor of " write to a woman "
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice is not
doctor. and therefore not competent to
give medical advice
For the advice of an unqualified
woman Is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Women who are sick can obtain medi-
cal advice free by letter, by consulting DIR.
