The committee already has under
taken a national census Of nurses to
learn the number Of trained and un-
trained ones and those with special ex-
perience In administration, teaching,
public health and preventive work, In
dustrial nursing, etc. 1t Is thought
that there are about 100000 trained
nurses in the country, Of whom per-
haps four-fifths are engaged In private
nursing. So far the nurses going

future largely upon the private nurses
of whom the number, relatively speak
ing, is plentiful.
The most important work of the
committee will be to increase the sup
ply of nurses greatly and promptly.
Training schools throughout the coun-
try are being urged to offer special
courses to women graduates Of colleges
and universities to fit them for special
work. In many cases credit for an
academic year is given to women who
have had scientific courses In universi-
ties and colleges.
The plans Of the committee for an
educational campaign to induce edu-
Gated women to enter the nursing pro-
fession have been aided materially by
a contribution of $1,000 from Mrs. Fe-
Tx Warburg. While no general appeal
is being made, 1t is hoped that several
other generous persons may aid the
spread Of the committees work by
other donations.

43 YEARS OF LIFE IN JAIL.
When Old Man Returned to Homo
Town No One Knew Him.

When Old Man Returned to Home
Town No One Knew Him.
Owensboro, Ky.-After forty-three
years spent in the Arkansas peniten-
tiary at Little Rock Joseph F. Jones
has returned here to pick up the thread
of life that was broken when he was
sent to prison.
When a young man Jones went to
Arkansas to work on a farm. He met
and loved the daughter Of the farmer
who employed him. The girl had an
other admirer, who was the son of a
wealthy farmer. He did not relish the
intrusion, quarreled with Jones and
fought a knife duel with him at the
gate Of the girls home. When the fight
ended Jones' rival was dead.
After hasty trial Jones was con-
victed Of murder In the first degree and
sent to prison for life. After forty
three years his case was laid before the
governor. A pardon was granted. Old
Man Jones walked out of the prison.
The girl for whom he had fought had
never married, but she had long since
been dead. Penniless Jones walked
from Little Rock to Owensboro. No
one remembered him. He is stranger
in his own home town.

TERROR OF TANKS
British Monsters Send Deadly
Fire Into Germans.
CAPTURE MANY PRISONERS.

Queer War Machines Even Crossed
Ypres Canal In Their Drive on
the Enemy Positions In Flanders.
Strength of the Giant Turtles Gre
ates Amazement.
With the British Armies In the Field.
British tanks so bedaubed with mud
and slime from Flanders quagmires
that they look like moving mountains
are spreading terror among the Ger
mans. The gigantic mud turtles lum-
Der and creep though the bogs, splitting
red flames from their mud incrusted
guns and creating panic wherever they
operate.
One lone tank reported recently the
capture Of 600 Germans near st. Julien.
While wallowing along toward the
enemy line the monster encountered
one of its kind stopped by direct hit
from a German anti-tank gun. The
uninJured tank charged the gun and
literally mashed 1t out Of commission.
Eight Germans were captured here and
turned back to the advancing British
infantry.
The same tank, creeping along, aided
In the capture of Pommern redoubt
and Pommern castle. 1t crossed the
deep cut marking the redoubt and sent
word back that 1t was clear OF the en-
emy. Meanwhile another tank crashed
its way through the castle defenses,
while the Germans fed precipitately.
Advancing infantry found the defend
ers massed in the redoubt position
which the first tank had cleared.
More tanks were summoned -Four
slid roaring over the redoubt and took
1t instanter, the Germans surrendering.
All prisoners frankly confessed their
panic at the steel monsters.
Crossing of the Ypres canal by these
tanks-under constant shell fire and
gas clouds-was one of the great feats
of the war. But the secret Of how 1t
was done will not be told until the war
is over.
The monstrous strength of the giant
turtles creates constant amazement
One tank encountered a huge motor
lorry stuck In ditch. 1t stopped and
obligingly hitched the front axles on
a big chain. Then 1t numbered ahead.
There was a crash and yells of dismay
from the lorry driver. The tank had
pulled out the front wheels, the motor
and part of the chassis.
One other tank, running without
lights, crashed into a railway engine,
knocking it off the track. The tanks
crew. not a bit dismayed, promptly
went over and pushed the engine back
on the rails again, sending 1t of puff
ing contentedly.
British Tommies have named the
curiously. One encounters
such names as Cog, Ariadne, Beelze-
bub, Bloodstone, Black Arrow, Bally-
hackle, Coquette, Crusader and Con
dolier.

thinks, will soon create great demand
for navy recruits. If he can send
trained young men into the breach the
rear admiral believes he will be achiev-
ing his "bit" as a retired officer.
Rear Admiral Cowles Is chairman of

RISK OF FIGHTING MAN
NOT AS GREAT AS IMAGINED
Only Ono Man In Fifteen 10 Killed and
One Out Of 500 Loses Limb -e5
Per Cent Of Wounded Recover.

WashingtOn.-That the deadly risk
Of the fighting man is not nearly so
great as is popularly imagined is the
belief Of marine corps officials here
who have compiled statistics covering
the allied losses In the war.
A careful estimate shows that only
one man In fifteen Is killed and one out
of 800 loses a limb. Recent reports
from French and British hospitals
show that about 05 per cent recover
from wounds, while about 80 per cent
are able to return to the firing line.
While the marine corps officials hold
unbiased views in regard to the expect
ed casualties among their own troops
In France, 1t is pointed out that the
S'soldiers of the sea" recently engaged
In warfare In Haiti suffered less than
per cent losses. These were sus-
tanned while covering a wide terrain,
fighting from house to house and cap
turing and holding small redoubts TAX
en- one by one from the enemy. This
method of warfare is said to be rapidly
superseding the trench system on the
western front

ACCLAIMED A HERO
FOR SHIPPING BEARD
italian Now Great Because He
Cut Off Peace Deputy'S Fa-
CiaI Adornment.

F.. Rome.-The fashionable crowd at the
cafe in the Corso Umberto were gazing
up at the huge screen on the building
opposite, where pictures of celebrities
Sonnino, Joffre, Wilson, Lloyd George
were being thrown on the screen. 1t
is the chief diversion these hot after
moons. Joffre was popular, and Will
son had his admirers. Then came a
picture of a man with a great beard
This caused tremendous laughter But
the climax of approval came when the
picture Of a thin faced man with a
workman's cap on his head was thrown
on the screen. There was a huge ova-
tion for this strange face.
"And who Is the man with the
beard?" asked the American visitor.
"Why, that is Maffie. Is it possible
you don't know Maffle?"
"And who is the man in the wo u
mans cap?"
"That is the carpenter Tordelli. You
don't mean to say you haven't heard of
Tordelli! They are the great Italian
characters Of the day."
Maffle is a member of the Italian
chamber Of deputies who made a
speech In favor of peace, saying it was
really not to Italys interest to carry
on the war. Tordelli was for war and
felt that the peace speech must be re-
buked. He accordingly waylaid Maffie
on the tramway as he came from the
chamber. Maff1e had an enormous
beard, which was his pride and best
known characteristic. AS Maffle step
ped on the car Tordelli deftly operated
a pair of scissors before the surprised
deputy knew what was happening
Then, with a shock of beard in his
hand, Tordelli disappeared, while Maf-
fie was left beardless.
Tordelli was arrested, and his trial
soon began. All Rome became inter-
ested. The question of peace and war
divided sentiment into two camps. All
Italy awaited the fate of the carpenter.
He produced the beard at the trial. and
it was duly entered by the court as an
exhibit. Thereupon Mafile applied for
the return of the beard but the court
held 1t had been separated from him
and was now in possession of the state.
Tordelli suddenly became a popular
hero as defender Of the war.

Steady Decline In Delinquency 10 Due

Steady Decline In Delinquency Is Due
to Outdoor Life.
Minneapolis, Minn.-The boy scout
movement has caused a steady decline
in delinquency, according to the state
ment of E. F. Waite, district judge of
this city, who was one Of the organ
izers Of the movement here seven years
ago and since that time has been par
ticularly interested in the activities of
the organization.
He pointed out that in spite Of the
increase in population there has been
a noticeable decrease in the cases of
delinquency which are reported among
boys Of the scout age and declared
there Is every reason to believe that
the romance and outdoor life Of the
boy scout are the underlying reasons
for the decrease.
