NOBILITY OF AMERI-
 CAN WOMANHOOD

The nobility of American woman Ihood will be exempl1ned in the pres ent European struggle. Within the next few days ship will sail from New York carrying 12o of the best nurses in the United States The ship will fly the flag of the Red Cross, and will bear to those dying on European battlehelds the blessed ministrations of American hospital service.
 A higher and nob1er motive calls these women to war than that which actuates any soldier engaged in the conhfct To, the soldier the appeal of war is fundamentally selhsh-the emotions of heroism, patriotism, ann bition for national or racial supre- macy. or the more sober determine ton for the defense of home. But the American nurses, who will under go equal peril with any soldier of Flu rope are drawn into the battlelines by their desire to serve suffering hu- manity. These women are not nur- ses of secondary or mediocre ability They are the best we have. The Red Cross was smothered with applaca- tions for war service from nurses holding the highest positions of res ponsibility in their profession. It was to this type that the call for ser vice appealed most strongly.
 Many of them are probably going to certain death. There win be no financial rewards for them and little glory. They are not likely to be men, toned in the dispatches or decorated for valor. But Europe will see them in the clash and excitement of battle when men are driven mad, coolly go- ing about their expert business. saw ing the wounded, soothing the last moments of the dying, taking mes sases for mothers and sweethearts, composing the dead. America may take greater pride in this little band than the people of Europe can in their heroic cohorts.

Wheat prices rose from. 1-2 to cents a bushel in the principal grain markets yesterday with trading on a broader scale, despite the restrictions in the way of margins put on specula- tive dealings by prominent commission houses.

MIRING OF TRUCK IN UNION STREET
 AROUSES DEMAND
 FOR GOOD PAVING

While trying to deliver a load of bags of flour at the Pyle & Tomlin- son storehouse at Water and Union streets, yesterday afternoon, a truck owned by James DooIan sank to the hubs of the forward wheels in the soft dirt of Union street. In vain the driver turned the horses backward and forward and urged them on, the wheels only sank deeper and, despite the willing efforts of the horses, the truck could not be budged.
 Finally the driver of the Doolan tr1rck took off half his load and, with the aid GG the automobile truck, the nired vehicle was drawn to hrmer ground. Union street has been much used in the past by big trucks going to and from the freight depot but of CT way 9Tound because of the dan gerous condition of the street. { There are number of rs1ts and soft places which make the thoroughfare well nigh impossible for a heavily loaded vehicle.

 A public hearing was held in the common council chamber nearly two months ago but no further move has been made to pave the street and truckmen say that, when the fall rains come, the street will become verft- able ouagmfre- At present the street is used only by those truckmen whose business compels them to drive through it.
 In the crowd that watched the stranded truck being drawn from the hole in the street yesterday were number of business men of the vicin- ity. One of them said:
 sThts is a sad commentary on the administrations cry of sEfficiency first. Here is a street which truck men urged all last winter be paved in the spring. Yet another winter is almost here and nothing has been done. Go about Bridgeport though, and you will find well paved streets in front of the houses of politicians where a loaded team never goes.''
