in the afternoon when Major FStIeI-
son. Who made a trip ashore and down
town. brought the news ;haI 'hc YES
sci would not sail that day
Major Blames the Press.
"Iust what expected has happened,
,fayor patterson said. "The papers
nave talked a great deal about there

unless his grandfather lets him stay on
at least two more days.
Miss Boardman said she felt reason
ably sure the new crew would be gain
cred by tomorrow morning. They had
several agents at work, she said. BY
others the opinion was expressed that
H. will take until Monday. Like MAJOR
Patterson, Miss Boardman attributed
me trouble TO 1.-The activity of the
press" The English and French en-
bassies. she said, made no objection to
the Germans i'm the crew until the
newspapers raised the point of the
violation Of neutrality.
Contributions TO tho Red Cross are
increasing. More than $4,000 was re
gClVcd Yesterday AT lhe local once, LOU
Fast 22d ST. This makes the total re-
CENTS TO date for the European Relief
Fund S92.686 81, exclusive of the S4O,-
900 made by the Newport bazaar, which
yag sent direct to Washington.
Miss Boardman thought the nurses
couldn't be sorry for the delay, for
+ncv need rest after the strenuous time
hey had getting ready for the trip.
They will have work to do crossing, for
here will be regular lectures by the
Surgeons on "hrSt aid the organiza-
ION of emergency hospitals, etc. II IS
10 be a serious trip.
'Thc nurses wish IT So" SAID Miss
Helen Scott Hay who goes in charge OF
them. "They realize the seriousness
Of the undertaking. for they are a fine
lot Of young women. | don't believe
such a fine group Of young women ever
before went to Europe with only calico
gowns That is all We have
Nurses Sorority.
The nurses, by the way, when they
reach the other side will be known as
SISTER Margaret" SISTER Alice o.
Whatever the first name may be. This
Is in conformity 10 the European GUS
ON.

will probably be landed IN England,
Miss A. Burgar and Miss J. Beatrice
Bowman, have been given letters of in
