Only Trained Nurses Serve.
When the new Red Cross was or
ganized In 1905 the principle was
adopted at once that not only trained
nurses but nurses Of character and
experience vouched for by recognized
hospitals could be enrolled in the nurs-
ing service. Also it was recognized
that unless such service were grad
ually built up In time of peace, unsat-
isfactory nurses would be bound to
get into 1t In time of war. And so,
although 1t seemed then that our
country could never again be drawn
into war; the work of organizing
war-nursing service was started, with
the result that today the Red Cross
has enrolled nearly 10000 nurses-the
pick of the trained nurses of the Unit.

AT COST TO
CAROLINA PLANTERS

Washington, April 23.-President
Wilson today gave his approval of
the plan of Senator E. D. Smith, of
South Carolina, to use the shipping
facilities Of the government to secure
nitrates for the farmers at cost dur
ing the war with Germany. The
South Carolina senator had an ex-
tended interview with the president
and called his attention to the fact
that the resolution which he introduce
ed empowering the shipping board to
use government vessels to bring nj
trates from Latin-American countries
was on the calendar and could be
called up at any time. They agreed
that a section of the urgent deficiency
bill setting aside $100,0O0,OOO "for
the national defense and security of
the nation" gave the president am
pie authority to bring nitrates to this
country without senatorial action,
and the president assured Senator
Smith that everything possible was
being done to secure nitrates for the
farmers at cost and that should it
be found that the president did not
have this authority he would urge
the passage Of Senator Smiths reso-
luton.

Over 1,500 Germans Taken.

London, April 24.-The British
gained ground on a wide front last
night south Of the Bapaume- Cambria
road. They reached the st. Quentin
canal at one point. Farther north
the villages of Beaucamp and Villers
Plouich were captured.
More than 800 prisoners were
taken in YESTERDAYS operations and
many more are coming in.
The positions gained on the Frcncl1
front yesterday, says the official
statement today, were maintained
and further progress was made east
of Monchy and near Roycux
The statement follows:
"Severe fighting continued yester-
day evening and at intervals during
the night on our whole front from
Croiselles to the north of Gavelle
The enemy constantly repeated his
unsuccessful counter attacks with
great determination and regardless
of losses.
"Thc positions gained by us yes
terday and already reported have
been maintained. Further progress
has been made east of Monchy-Ye-
PreuX and in the neighborhood of
Roeux. A particularly violent coun-
ter attack delivered by the enemy
early this morning against the vii
lagc Of Gavelle was successfully
beaten off.
"The number of prisoners which
passed through collecting stations as
a result of yesterdays operations al
ready exceed 1900, including thirty
officers. Many more are still to come
in.

ENGLISH WILL GET
ASSISTANCE FIRST
British Will RecOup Golfers With
American War Loans. Re-
lief in Sight.

Washington, April 23.-England's
big loans to Russia, France and 9TH
ers of her allies in the European war
have so far depleted her normally
enormous resources that immediate
relief from the overhowing Golfers of
the United States is necessary, it was,
learned here today. Announcement
that loan will be made to Great
Britain was especially surprising in
view of the fact that up to today it
had generally been accepted there
that England's financial position was
sufficiently secure to obviatc any ne
cessity for financial aid by the United
States.

TEUTONS DASHED
FOR LIFEBOATS
Their Behavior in Danger Was
Quite Different From
British.

London, April 22.-The story of the
sinking Of the hospital ship Lanfrance
will rank with the undying histories
of the Birkenhead and Tyndareus, ac-
cording to British officer. The Brit
ish soldiers stood at attention while
the ship was slowly sinking beneath
them. Their conduct was in marked
contrast to that of the Prussian
guardsmen on board, who in the mo-
ment Of danger, rushed for the life
boats.
"The Lanfrance was attacked by a
submarine about 1880 o'clock Tuesday
evening"" said the officer. "The crash
shook the liner violently. Within a
few minutes the engines stopped and
the vessel seemed to be sinking rap
idly, but to our surprise she steadied
herself and after while remained
motionless. We had aboard prisoners
of the Prussian Guard and many Brit
ish wounded, including some serious
cases.
"The moment the torpedo struck
the Prussians made a mad dash for
the life boats. When they were or
dered to await their turn many show
ed cowardice by dropping on their
knees and imploring pity.
"The crew and staff went to their
posts. The stretcher cases were low
cred first to the boats. Meanwhile,
in response to distress calls, many
vessels came hurrying to our assist
ance. Even while wounded and help
less Tommies lay unaided in their
cots, the cowardly prisoners made an
other attempt and managed to crowd
into life boat, which, however, top
pied over directly as it was lowered
Then they fought with each other to
reach another boat containing some
gravcly wounded.
II shall never forget the behavior
of our own lads. They tried to stand
at attention, crippled as they were
while the graver cases were being
looked after. The crew and staff re.
mained at their posts until the last
man was taken off.

NICHOLS FOR VOLUNTEER
kagsdale Certain and Lever Likely
to Vote for Administration
Measure

Washington, April 24.-Congress-
man Richard S. Whaley, who ten days
ago expressed himself here as op-
posed to the administration conscrip-
ton plan of raising the army to war
size, has decided to support the con-
scription after all, with local unit
amendment Mr.. Whaley said today:
Whaley's Statement.
"Just before leaving my district to
attend the extra session l gave out
an interview stating l was in favor
of compulsory military training. But
at that time l had not made up my
mind on the question of universal
liability to military service.
"By the declaration of war Con-
gress authorizes the President to en-
ploy the entire military and naval
forces of the country and pledges the
resources of the country for sue
cessful prosecution of the war. He
is commander-in-c chief the army and
navy, and on military and naval mat
tcrs he must rely upon the advices
of military and naval authorities dur
ing the war. He comes to Congress
and says that the most effective way
to prosecute the war is to raise an
army by selcctive conscription. 1t is
my duty to back him up in this emer-
gency. The selective couscription is
fair and democratic, without favor or
Partially; the rich and the poor, the
industrious as well as the indolent,
must respond to their country's call
in this emergency; and those whose
special qualifications can serve their
country in producing foodstuffs and
industrial establishments that will
promote the safety and general well
fare of the nation will not be affected.
81 shall, therefore, support and vote
for the equal service bill desired by
the President, with the amendment
providing for the local unit feature,
| which l understand he is willing to
consent to-"
Nichols for Dent Bill. >;
Representative Sam j. Nichols, Of
Spartanburg, who is a member of the
committee on military affairs, was
one of the speakers today in favor of
the Dent bill and the volunteer prin-.
clple. He made a good argument
from his point of view and was con-
siderably applauded, particularly in IL
colloquy with Congressman Gardener.
of Massachusetts.
| The local unit compromise is the
bridge on which many Congrcssmer
and Senators are getting over to ac-.
ceptance of the conscription principle.
Mr.. Lever may vote for it, making
three affirmative South Carolina votes
in the House.
