The feature picture is a re- markable portrayal of famous Southern novel. 1t has attracted wide attention since produced before the camera.

into workable conditions that pr. Greil considers the great American contri- button, and with her own talent for seeing what things should go together what consolidated and interwoven, she feels that throughout American relief in Europe today there should be spread this spirit of wanting standing examples of American enterprise and expedition among the nations from whose shores so many come to take up American citizenship.
 She looks forward to some well knit system of international education, change of principles and manner of adoption, so that the scientific organi- zation of one country, the spirit of freedom of another and on down through the particular national su- premacies, al shall be shared by all If all-sumner schools appear to be the need of a city like New York, it is fair to suppose that much the same will be the need of Italian cities that have industrial problems, too. and where youth is short, as youth Is everywhere.

War Relief Work in Europe Offers Rare Opportunity for Talent of American Women Dr. Cece Gre Says That Except for Educational Part of Great Task, Women of the United States Had
 Better Tend to Misery Here at Home

(By Ernestine Evans in New York Tribune
 War relief work in Europe today offers a rare opportunity for America to give to Europe her peculiar talent for emergency organization, quick re- lief and scientific organization. Merely to help the wounded is a task not worth while when here at home so much misery that cries out to be tend ed, much as battle wounds is yet un- tended. From an educational point alone is the work really worth doing. , The American woman who spoke has been called to work with the Russian Red Cross at Bari.

 Center of Trade
 The port is the center of q large part of the Russo-Italian trade, and pr. Cecile Greil goes to place herself at the head of the voluntary aid nurses, Italian and Russian women of the town, who eagerly, but without train ing, have thrown themselves into the war service of the Allies, and of the women who will run the relief work for the women and children whom the battles in Trentino will leave depen- dent on their communities
 An American woman, a woman doc- tor-sent for across the ocean-the situation indicates international recog- nition.
 Dr. Greil, who has been medical di- rector of the Maphattan Trade School has already had experience in Italy at the Children's Hospital in Florence and the Marine Hospital in Naples, where she stood out in country whose women. with few notable ex- captions like Dr. Maria Montesori, have never entered the medical profession.

 There is too much medical work crying to be done in New York City, too much misery here at home that needs an abundant supply of work ing physicians to compass.

It happened that Miss Ella Wheeler { Wilcox was entertaining at her home at Short Beach, and this young gen. tleman was asked to sing for the party that evening.

 'It seems to me- said Dr. Greil that here lies 8 chance to bring the two countries together. If during my stay there I can run my school for voluntary nurses not only in such a way that those particular nurses learn to do the work in hand, but that the whole community can awaken to some interest in the way American nurses are taught and the way the school puts through it's schedule, shall feel that there has been something worth while about my going
 That is what I think all American work abroad ought to be-a demon stration of the things that we do best in this country. That is why our Red Cross work in the Balkans is so val uable--because it is the establishing of standard, as well as care of the wounded, that is accomplished"

The Russian Consulate is in Washington Square North. One afternoon a Russian peasant girl who was waiting for registration in the consulate, in her desperation took poi son. The consulate was in an uproar. Messengers were dispatched for doc tor. Dr. Greil responded, pulled the young suicide through with a quiet ness and dispatch that were nothing short of 8 miracle to the excited and voluble onlookers.
 "So American women are like that said one of the officials. "I thought you were all society and poured tea at country long time, too. But you you keep your head-you work quiet ly and do things. How wonderful
