The girls wear the ordinary uniform OF the
professional nurse. and are pledged TO answer
calls to attend the sick at any hour OF the day
or night. Competent instructors are employed
to teach them the art of nursing. and twice
week a company of earnest young students
gather in large room in the Witherspoon
Building. Philadelphia, and listen to lectures

The girls are not anxious to proclaim from
the housetop the work they do. For this reason
it was only with the greatest difficulty that per-
mission was obtained TO accompany a party Of
volunteer nurses on a visit to the poorer quar-
tars of the city over their spotIess white uni

the party. to be donned later, were carried U

That Russia should have declined to fulfil the

Manchuria within a stated period only to
be expected For the Cars government has
invested colossal sums in the construction of
the great ranS-Siberan railroad, which cOnsti-
tutes the connecting link between Russia in
Europe and her possessions on the Pacific coast
of Asia, and in order to keep this line open for
military purposes and for trade. and in order
to protect il, it is Indispensable that the Musco
vite government should directly or indirectly
control Manchuria.
Emperor Nicholas cannot afford to permit his
supremacy in that portion of Asia To remain in
other hands, since that would involve the risk
not merely of u loss of all the money embarked
in the Asian railroad. but also OF an inter
ruption OF the line of commune alton by land
between Russias great strategical and COM

can be reached by boats passing
through more than that number OF

From Lacrosse to st. Louis house
boats meet the eye every few minutes.
At every town along the river one
sees boats lying on the shore. They
are usually moored in little bays. with
their launches alongside and shaded
by the overhanging branches of trees.
When a steamer passes the occupants
appear at the doors and windows, and
sometimes so to the upper deck TO
wave their greetings. The water is
very high at present and the boats

foliage seems TO have grown in anti
