Norway Offers Rest
 Cure" for Tired Nurses

l1 1H X Christiana. Norway, June 2S.-The Norwegian Red Cross has extended to the United States an invitation to send to Norway for "rest cure" any of its nurses and Red Cross workers who may become i'll or worn out in the course of their work in Northern France.
 In Norway any such American con- valescents will be the guests of the Norwegian Red Cross, and will be sent to the most suitable Norwegian health resort for a period of six weeks or more at it's expense.
 X Similar invitations were long ago extended to the European belliger- ents, although Germany and Russia are the only ones who have sent nurses here in response. Germany has thus far sent 500 nurses to Nor way while 65 Russian nurses arc now here for a months vacation.
 E A visit from even a small Ameri-. can Red Cross unit would be regarded as great event in Norway. which regards itself as a little closer to the Limited States than any other Scandi- mavian country. Norwegians fre- quently remark that there are more Norwegians in the United States than there are in Norway, and that. there fore one country is as much their nome 1and'' as the other.

Anniversary of
 Coffee Industry

j. j.
 The first coffee shipment from Bra- gil was made 154 years ago today and consisted of consignment of ten bags sent to Europe. Brazil now produces over s5 per cent. of the worlds cof- fee supply, and a large part of this is grown in the one state of Sac Pauio. Coffee was introduced into Brazil in 1764, by Father Velaso, a Franciscan monk, and nine years later began the export of the beans that are today's BrazfPs principal source of wealth. Over half of all the coffee grown is consumed in the United States, and Uncle Sarn's annual coffeee bill. at the wholesale price; IS about eighty
 millions dollars. The Danes are next to the Americans the, greatest coffee drinkers, while the Germans come third before the war. The coffee Ger many is drinking today is made of iacorns, a bitter brew, indeed.

ENGLISH YOUTHS TO
 AID IN WAR WORK

z London. June 2s.-The National Service Department which has under taken to place everybody in a posi- ton to help win the war has organ ized volunteer work for the summer vacation season. Thfoughout the war thousands of people-the boys of the public schools, for instance-have given up their holidays to some kind of war work. but central guidance has been wanting except in the case of agricul- ture.
 Committees are being set up all over the country, and a varied list of important side activities of the war in want of helpers is being made so that when volunteers are appealed for they can be drafted at once to vacation tasks. such as the collection of waste paper, which is wanted for shell making, wool gathering in the hedges (woo1 from sheep), and q score more ways of satisfying the con science of men and women who are doing nothing for the war.

CANADIAN-PACIFIC
 ANNIVERSARY

A through passenger service on the Canadian-Pacific Railway between Montreal and Vancouver was inaug- urated thirty one years ago today, June 2S, 1886. This line, first of the great continental systems that now cover Canada with a net work of steel, was built in four and a half years. Enormous engineering difficulties had to Joe overcome in constructing the road through the rocky barriers thrown up by nature along the shores of Lake Superior and over the snow clad peaks of the Rockies. More than three hundred miles of the road were cut through solid rock. An army of workmen, at one tune as many as 5000, was engaged in this gigantic battle of civilization against the wild forces of nature. But if the engineer ing difficulties were great, the task
 of financing the project was even greater The Canadian-Pacific scheme born in scandal. was still viewed with distrust by British capitalists. Canada had to build her own road and Canada did

U. s. Navy Older Than
 U. S. Government

The D. s. Navy has the unique dis junction or being somewhat older than the government itself, for nine months before the actual Declaration of In- dependence Congress authorized the construction of two attnationaI' cruis- CTS and appointed a committee to pur- chase vessels to form the nucleus of a fleet. Within three months of it's ap- pointment this committee got together fourteen armed vessels and appointed a personnel of officers. among whom was that famous old sea. dog, Paul Jones. During the war of the. Revo- lution the infant navy captured as many as 800 prizes, but suffered so heavily that by the time peace was declared it had almost ceased to exist A new start on a more ambitious scale was made in 1794

FRINGE DANILO's
 BIRTHDAY

Prince Danilo Alexander, eldest son and heir to the throne of King Mich olas I. of Montenegro, and brother of Queen Helena of Italy is celebrat- ing his forty-sixth birthday today. It cannot be said that the occasion is a very happy one, for Prince Dan1lo is far away from his native land, while his father has been without a throne since Montenegro was over run by the Germans. The Montene- grin rulers are today living in Paris and are being maintained by dona- tions from the French and British governments. Prince Danilo is an able military leader, as the Austrians learned in their first disastrous cam paigns in the Black Mountain coun- try Prior to the war Prince Danllo s chief claim to fame was that he was the original character of the Prince IDanilo in Lehar's famous comic opera .-The Merry Widow which ragged all over the world several years ago. When Lehar set about to write his comic opera he went to Montenegro for his raw material. He found his whole stage setting right there with out moving a finger. The funny lit tie kingdom was so comic in itself that he decided that art couldn't inn
 
 clothes, whiskers and all. and put him into the cast without even bothering to change his name. The original of the Merry Widow it is said. was the Princess Radmovic, to whom the prince was to have paid violent atten- ton, despite the fact that he had a wife and several children. The Prin- cess, Radmovic is described as every thing that is charming and besides is the widow of the richest man in Mon tenegro. It is said that Lehar at first intended to leave the name. of the country in the play but was dissuad- led by friends. When the opera ap- peared there was great to do in Cettinje, the capital of Montenegro. Everybody, of course, recognized everybody in the play. King Nicho- las, who at that time was only a prince, but shortly afterward pro- claimed himself King. being at the same time the parliament, the judi ciary and the entire government of Montenegro, passed a law prohibiting the play within the borders of his realm. Which. perhaps, added a touch of humor to the whole thing.

Dr. Alexis Carrel,
 Wizard of Surgery

When the world pictures to itself a famous surgeon, it conjures up the image of a man, ripe in years, rich in hirsuit adornment about the; face and looking over heavy spectacles in a very grave and very wise manner. If, therefore, you were suddenly con- fronted with the person of Alexis Car rel you would never in the world take him to be one of the leading surgeons that the age has produced. He has neither a, beard, nor coes he look as though the worlds wisdom were weighing heavily upon him. True, he wears a pince-nez. For the rest he looks like a bright, alert, up-to-the- minute business man. And bright and alert he is, yes,i very. From the standpoint of medical achievement pr. Alexis Carrel is very young in years. He is today celebrating his forty-fourth birthday, and, as he! has always fought for the advancement of science. he is today fighting for the maintenance of liberty throughout the world, for SDr. Carrel is at the front in France, the land where he was born. He has been working in the hospitals day and night since the early part of the war and giving his native land the benefit of his acheve- ments in surgery. pr. Carrel's rise in his profession was truly meteoric. He was born at Sainte Foy des Lyons, France, June 2s, 1873. He studied at the University >of Lyons anad in 1896 was an interne in the principal hospital of that city. Later he join ed the medical faculty of the Univer-. sity of Lyons He came to America, going to Montreal where he entered upon laboratory work at. McGill Uni versity. From there he went to the University of Chicago and in 1896 joined the staff of the Rockefeller In stitute confining himself entirely to experiments and studies in the labor. atory. In 1912 Dr. Carrel won the Nobel prize for medicine, for his suc-i cess in suturing blood vessels and transplanting human organs.

EXCESS OF OFFICERS

Mexico City, June 2S.-As there are now many more corpora1s and sergeants than are needed in the Mexican army, those in excess of the required number will be formed into special regiments and battalions serv- ing as privates but with the same pay as they now receive. This force will be known as the Legion of Honor and will be commanded by officers who have distinguished themselves during the campaigns of the last -four years.
