NURSES In THE WAR.
What the Women Are Doing.

The women of the Warning Nations are
nursing. cheering and comforting the
wounded or dying The women Of Eu-
rope not only wrap bandages and scrape
lint, but they tend the farms, dig coal
carry burdens and do the work of the
men now under arms. Every male fighter,
however, brawny and heroic, was born
OF woman; the high courage and hard
ihood that are a nations strength are in
herited from the mother.
Young mothers who preserve the charms
of face and figure in spite OF an Increas-
ing family and the care Of growing chill
dren are always to be envied. Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription gives the strength
and health upon which happy mother
hood depends. 1t practically does away
with the pains of maternity. 1t enables
the mother to nourish the infant life de-
pending on her, and enjoy the hourly
happiness of watching the development
of a perfectly healthy child.
Thousands of women who are now
blessed with robust health cannot under
stand why thousands Of other women
continue to worry and suffer from all
ments peculiar to women when they can
obtain for a gtrihing sum DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, which will surely
and quickly Danish all pain, distress and
misery and restore the womanly func-
tions to perfect health.

TEST OF KENYON LAW
IS POSTPONED AGAIN
Action to Try Out Constitutionality oi
Statute to Be Resumed
Monday.

Arguments on the constItutionality
Of the Kenyon "red-Iight" law were
postponed again yesterday until Mon
day. The hearing is the outcome of
suit brought by the district attorney to
close the Ardmore Hotel.
In rebutaI for afidavits filed by
Franklin c. Jackson. proprietor OF the
hotel as to the good reputation of his
place. the district attorney yesterday
filed eleven afidavits. bearing on the
character OF the hostelry. The Consti-
tutionality of the law is being tested by
Mr.. Jackson and the trustees OF the
Willard estate which owns the hotel
property.
Regardless OF the courts decision. the
case will go to the Court OF Appeals,
and probably on to the United States
Supreme Court for final settlement.
Should the court decide the law is
constitutional. the district attorney will
ask for a permanent Injunction against
the hotel. and it is expected he will
bring other similar suits.

WARPLANS TALK
Senator Opposes Inquiry Into
Preparedness Of u. S.
Forces.
URGES ARMY RESERVE
Points to European Struggle to IL
lustrate Value of Secrecy in
Military Action.

Senator Weeks in a formal speech IN
the Senate yesterday deplored the pub
Iicity being given the national defenses
and the country's preparedness to resist
an invasion. He opposed the passage OF
any resolution looking TO a special in
vestigation in these matters. Speaking
as a graduate of the Naval Academy,
Senator Weeks expressed his pride in the
strength Of our navy, paid a high COM
pliment to its personnel and advocated
the creation Of an army reserve.
Our military and naval establishments
are open books to all our citizens" said
Senator Weeks. land there need be no
doubt about our relative position or our
capabilities il any one is disposed 20
make a study of the reports of the heads
of the two departments instead Of look
ing TO sensational reports published from
time TO time about alleged weaknesseS
in our national defenses.
We have had a demonstration during
the present war in Europe OF the value
of secrecy in conducting military opera
tions, which ought TO deter us from
spreading broadcast what we are doing
in the way of military preparations and
maintenance.
Powers Know L. 8. Forces
Il have no doubt that every European
country has detailed information OF our
condition. both on land and sea, and II
we are to change our methods 1t would
be just as well to avoid publicity"
Senator Weeks expressed the hope that
the present war in Europe would be the
last great war among nations. He said
he hoped the folly of maintaining great
military establishments would be demon
strated and that there would be an IN
ternational agreement which would limit
a mament.
The Senator avowed himself In favor
OF no special enlargement of the navy's
equipment. except by omnibus appro-
priation. which can be expended under
the direction of the General Board OF the
Navy with the approval OF the Secretary
OF the Navy and the Presiednt"
senator Weeks expressed the opinion
that our navy is the equal TO that Of
Germany and France. and second only TO
that OF Great Britain.

his audience at the Columbia Theater
yesterday afternoon with a speech in de-
fense Of songs in English for the English
speaking audience.
Ladies and gentlemen. / have chosen
to sing an entire program in the English
language" Then he stopped That

would rather l should sing in a variety
of languages that / but imperfectly un-
derstand, and perhaps half those in the
audience do not understand at all,
might do so. But / believe in common
sense in music as in everything else"
Mr.. Bispham backed his logic with
quotation at some length from the four
teenth chapter Of First Corinthians. Mr..
Bispham prefaCed most of his numbers
with a brief explanation Of their poetic
Significance. Far the best Of his per-
formance was in those songs that relate
a story. In such songs as Il Am a
Roamer." Of Mendelssohn; When l Was

the Colosseum. and that Rome will fall
when this majestic ruin falls, and with
Rome will fall the world.
