.WANTON DESTRUCTION
. OF FAMOUS OLD CASTLE
Nothing Left But Pile of Crum-
bled Masonry of Relic Of
Thirteenth Century
BY Henry Wood,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the French Army at Coucy lie
Chateau, March 30.-The greatest SIM
gle piece of German vandalism of the
entire war occurred here. Couey castle
one of the most splendid remaining
relics of the Thirteenth century, was
utterly blasted from the mace of the
earth.
Nothing is left but great pile of
massive crumpled masonry and pulver-
lied rock of what was one of the old
est, the strongest, the biggest and the
most historic castles of all Europe.
So enraged were the French at this
piece Of the wanton destruction that
they refused to lombard even the
ruins, where the Germans had in
trenehed machine gunners. Instead,
the infantry, unsupported by artillery
charged over plain swepe by Ger
man machine gun fire and wrenched
the sacred spot from the enemy.
1t was such terrific assault that
the Germans were not even able to
counter attack.
Before they had left the Germans
boasted TO the French inhabitants that
thirty tons of explosives were used to
destroy the castle Pieces of its
ancient masonry were spread over ten
thousand square yards. Not vestige
remains of the great tower which
Cardinal Mazarin's engineers vainly
tried 70 blow up in the Seventeenth
century.
Couney castle had been set aside as
a historical museum
Germany's official explanation for
its destruction, according to French in
habitants was that the castle was not
worth more than the life of single
German soldier-and that there were
plenty of other such castles in southern
Germany

Fascinating Opportunities
The opportunities for the graduate
nurse are as fascinating us they are
varied, and they give scope for 'devel-
opment along many different lines. The
woman with executive ability finds
her field in hospital management, as
superintendent or supervisor. The girl
with latent ability for organization
can have as her goal the secretaryship
of one of the increasing number of
public health agencies. If constructive
philanthropy is the ultimate ideal OF
the nurse she can fit herself for wei
fare work, and her hospital training
will give her an insight into the eaus-
es and effects of poverty, the treat
'ment OF occupational diseases, and in
to all those things which will make her
work effective. II ON the other hand
she Graves expression for her maternal
instinct in the care of children she can
find thousands of little ones to mother
in the children S hospitals, in schools
and in settlement clinics, and in insti-
tutions where child saving work is an
important factor.
The object of these articles is to
show the unlimited possibilities for
service that open up to the registered
nurse Immediately she completes her
training, and to emphasize the fact
that these opportunities call for
houghtful capable women who have
high school or college education and
whose mental attainments are of a
high order. The day when nursing edu-
cation involves chiefly long hours of
physical drudgery is rapidly passing.
Colleges and universities are giving
preparatory courses in nursing and are
affiliating with the best known hospit-
ais, while medical and educational au-
thorties are agreed that nursing is a
profession which calls for brains as
well as Drawn, for education as well
as endurance.
