disagreement with their pastor. the

ers. The ushers are all volunteers.

TRAINED NURSE
SHORTAGE FAC S
NUTMEG STATE
Patriotic Volunteers Will be
Schooled in the
Hospitals.

Connecticut faces a shortage OF
trained nurses to care for the c1Vlllan
population in the absence or those
nurses who will be taken from the
state because of the war. According
to Dr. c. C. Godfrey Of Bridgeport
chairman of the committee on SANTA
ton and medicine of the Connecticut
state council of defense, the situation
is a serious ONE and immediate steps
have been taken to overcome 1t.
Several hospitals in the state have
agreed to make room in their train
ing schools for additional pupil nurses,
and young women who wish to per-
form a patriotic service. are being
urged to take up this work. Applica-
ton for admission to the training
school of amy of these hospitals
should be made to the superintendent
of nurse at the hospital. The fol-
lowing are the hospitals which now
need additional pupil nurses: Green
witch, hospital, Greenwich; New Bri-
tain General hospital, New Britain;
Meriden hospital, Meriden; New Ha-
ven hospital, New Haven; Grace hos
pital, New Haven; Stamford hospital,
lstamford; St. Marys hospital, Water
bury; Litchfield County hospital, Win
sted.
| Applicants for instruction In
nurses training schools must be al
least 21 years Of age and under S5
years old; must have graduated from
a high scool, and should be examined
by a family physician to determine
whether they are physically capable Of
taking up the duties Of nursing. The
course requires three years to COM
plete.
| In addition to this, the COMMITTEES
on sanitation and medicine of the state
council of defense is taking up with
the hospitals the matter Of establish
ing courses in training as nurses as
sistants. This will be six months
course and those interested in this line
of work may procure information an6

to whitewash such a man as Hoff-
mann, and endeavor to palliate his
conduct. s'He acted only for the good
of Switzerland and of a world need
ing peace" they say in effect, as If
they were CHILDREN too simple to
know that the worlds peace cannot
be regulated even to suit Switzer-
lands three and one-half millions
and the half million German subjects
among them. There are actions which
admit of no excuse, and that even the
leading Zurich journal should have
thought it necessary to say of Herr
Hoffman, that 'his character is
above all suspicion" will not tend to
make a bad situation in Switzerland
any better. And the same journal
had much better not have said that
What Herr Hoffman, did, he did
without being in any way under out
side Influences. e., German influ-
ences. Like other leading German
Swiss organs, it seems totally to ig-
more the fact that he was endeavoring
to seduce Russia from her allegiance.
The. "Genevois" putssthe matter much
more truly when it says that there
lis not the slightest extenuating cir
cumstances for him; and the attitude
of the "Genevois" is absolutely typic-
al of that Of the entire French-Swiss
and Italian-Swiss press.
How, indeed, did Herr Hoffman,, q
supposedly neutral politician, know
SO accurately what Germany would
do and what she desired, as he seems
to have done from his cypher tele-
gram to the German agent (Herr
Grimm) And who were the ."prom-
inent persons" with whom he had
to so definite a conclusion about Ger
many's intentions? How was it that
out OF six Swiss Federal Councillors
only three realized at once that Herr
Hoffman, must go, while if the other
three had their way he would still
be in office? For the Swiss people
this fall of the head of their foreign
political department is a blessing, and
many of them see 1t in that light The
French-Swfss were right from the be-
ginning of the war in their estimate
Fof Herr Hoffman, He deceived
many, not only Swiss but also others
by his extreme reserve and by cum
ming and craftiness bordering on
the superhuman. He virtually ruled
Switzerland as far as her foreign re-
lations were concerned. He states
himself that he did not consult his
colleagues about the extremely srayey
step which he took, and this is prob
ably true, for certain of them, had
they known, would never have toler-
ated it, The last years of his career
cannot be better described than by
one of the most familiar of French
proverbs: fTant va la cuche a reau
quentin ellie Sc casse.'' Here was g

Pro-German well but it is broken al

Demand Protective
Standards Be Kept
For Labor Welfare

Tumultous applause greeted the
declaration of several speakers at the
annual convention Of the New York
State Federation of Labor that pro-
tective standards for labor must be
maintained during war time as
prime essential of national effective
ness, and that democracy must be
safeguarded in the United States.
eff we are to gain our real meas
ure of efficiency said Governor
Whitman, I'VE must not permit our
people who are engaged in Industrial
pursuits to become apprehensive that
the standards erected for their pro-
lection will be set aside.''
Samuel Gompers asserted that he
had been lifelong pacifist but is
supporting the government in this
war because "the gauntlet had been
thrown down to democracy and un-
less the challenge was accepted, auto
cracy would run rough-shod over the
peoples of the whole world. During
the war; he said, " propose to see
to it as best can that the standards
Of the Americans workers do not de-
teriorate.''
1--WE are in this war, and as red
b1ooded Americans we are in it to
Wln," said John B. Andrews, secre-
tary of the American Association for
Labor Legislation, speaking upon in
vitation of the Federation, "but it
would be a costly mistake to break
down any of the hard-won protec-
tons for labor. While fighting to
make the world safe for democracy
we must not sacrifice democracy here
at home.''
John Mitchell, chairman OF the
New York State Industrial Commits
sion, announced the determination of
the commission to uphold protective
labor laws in war as well as in peace
National strength depends upon the
fitness of our industrial army" he
said, squite as much as upon the
fighting forces
Recent victories were reported in
many states in saving labor laws
against attempts to suspend them,
and it was announced that this cam
paign, temporarily successful, would
be continued vigorously.

ILS0N PLACES
COLD EMBARGO
None to Be Exported After
Monday Without Federal
Reserve License.

Washington, Sept. 8.-President Will
son, by proclamation issued yester-
day, added coin, bullion and currency
to the export embargo list, which al
ready included practically every arti-
Gle Of commerce that foreign countries
might desire. The embargo is not alb
solute, but may he relieved by the is
suance Of licenses. 1t ap1ies to the
Allies as well as to neutrals and en-
envy countries, and becomes operative
next Monday.
Licenses, instead Of issuing from the
exports administrative board, will be
granted by the Federal Reserve Board
in Washington on recommendation of
the Federal Reserve bank in the dis
trict from which it is desired to ex-
port the coin, bullion or currency, all
licenses to fbe subject to the final ap-
prevail Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
The embargo will place absolute
control over gold exports in the hands
of Secretary McAdoo and the Federal
Reserve Board. Officials believe that
the measure will go far toward con-
serving the huge store of gold accu-
mulated in this country since the be-
ginni0g Of the war, a store which re-
Gently mas DG6n Drawn upon uodV11y
by Japan, Mexico andts Spain.
Another effect Of the embargo will
be to stop the leakage of gold exports
to Germany. Gold has been finding
it's way into Germany, 1t Is asserted
through, Switzerland, Holland, Russia
nd the Scandinavian countries. Re
lief from the silver shortage in this
country also is exected to result from
the embargo. Because brokers fol
some time have been refusing to ex-
port silver the report became genera
that secret embargo already was in
effect. This received denial from off,
cial sources.
Since the United States began te
finance the Allies gold has started to
flow from the United States. Within
the five week period ended August Il
exports, totalling $4,000, 900, were more
than four times as great as imports
The stock in this country is $4,000, 000,-
900. Of which approximately 40 pei
cent has been imported since January
1915.
Imports Of gold during the current
year have totalled more than 1888, 600,
600. Exports recently were estimated
to have appropriated $500, 000, 900, OF
more than twice as much as the vol
ume exported altogether in 1916.
