number of persons on the northwest
ern Monday afternoon, it became

the work Of an insane man who had
dsigns upon one of the regular pass
enger trains. Fifteen minutes after

placed on the tracks. The bolts about
twelve inches long, had been slipped
through large nuts and the devices
laid upon the rails. They were suf-

That Is the Word Given By
Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt
Her REASONS ARE SOUND
Those Engaged In Labor Here
Should Continue Along Lines
Picked Out
limited Press Dispatch

New York, June 20.-Mrs. William
X. Vanderbilt ST., head of the Amer
lean Ambulance hospital in Paris
strongly urges public health nurses
in the United States to apply to their
profession the principles of selective
eonscriptions during the war. She
advises them not to throw up their
positions here for the sake of under
taking work abroad.
Zone of the great needs Of Amer
lea" she said will be for public
health nursing The organizations
are. engaged in this work, instead OF
being weakened by loss of member
ship should be strengthened to meet
the increased demands which will be
made upon them. Trained and expert
enced nurses who are now taking
care of women, children and tuber-
cular patients in their homes and in
dispensaries can do no greater work
for the country and for humanity than
by remaining on their jobs
Must Not Consider Selves Slackers
They must not consider themselves
slackers or feel that they are lacking
in patriotism if they stick to their
daily round of duties. On the contrary
it would be absolutely wrong for them
to give up their work, and jump at
the first chance which offers for war
service abroad.
Somebody has to take care of the
women and children while the men
are at the front. 1t is irrational for
those who take care of them, and
who know and understand their
needs, to fly off to some other place
and work and leave them at the
mercy of inexperienced workers. We
all know that war breaks down home
conditions. Sickness and poverty fol-
low in it's wake and there are a thou
sand and one ills, which have to be
met and overcome. Who can do this
better han the public health nurse
who belongs to we'll organized group
of workers which is able to combat
just such conditions?"
Cited Own Experience.
Mrs. Vanderbilt cited her own ex-
perience in Paris at the beginning OF
the war when her first impulse was
to close. the Vanderbilt Dispensary
to women and children and devote ii
to the care of wounded soldiers.
"On second thought" she said 81
realized that would be mistake just
because everybody was doing the
same thing. never regretted follow
my more mature judgment In a
short time our attendance increased
from lis to $50. believe we saved
any number of the future citizens OF
France by simply thinking twice and
sticking to our original work."

close range. Eventually the German
machine got into favorable position
and Captain Blank Immediately put
his machine into spin. On shaking
off the German he at once regained
height and dived at another scout
with whom he fought for a consider
able time. He finally out manoeu-
vered his opponent and the hostile
machine crashed. Shortly, he engaged
another machine of the same type
but he was shot through the wrist
and. the top of his control-lever was
carried away. Although in great pain
and flying at disadvantage he sue
ceeded in landing his machine un-
damaged on our side of the lines and

Another Battle Taking Place.
while this was happening at one
part of the front another battle was
taking place at another only a short
distance away. A Photographic re-
connaissance, with small escort was
attacked by seven German planes. A
captain drove down one of the host
lie machines out of control and then
dived at three others which were
following one of our machines down.
He was unable to catch up in time,
however, and our machine was forced
to land in field, but he eventually
succeeded in engaging one of the
German machines which crashed
quite near ours.
Lieutenant Opened Fire.
Second Lieut.. B. opened fire at a
large white two-seater which went
down and was seen to crash by other
pilots.
Lieutenant C. drove down a black
and-white German scout which was
also seen to crash. A third hostile
machine was destroyed by Lieu
tenant D.
The Germans are painting their
machines all colors of the rainbow
and some Of the shades not to be
found there. And not satisfied with
solid reds, greens, blues and so forth,
various combinations are seen. There
are llow-topped wings with green
underneath; white wings with violet
bodies; blue and gold wings and red
noses; silver wings and striped
bodies; canary colored bodies with
blue tipped wings and more curious
combinations still. German pilots, it
appears when supplied with machines
can then do pretty much as they
please with them, painting them any
desired colors and ever changing
the shape.
On the other hand the British fly
ers are more modest. Their machines
are khaki, white or cream.
Day after day these plain birds
and fancy birds fight it out high in the

+ In "Fighting Odds" these two ia
nous authors have written a play, of
a wife's loyalty; of well-paid Ameri-

big play of Big Business. The hero
of the story is a man who believes
with Henry Ford that the laborer is
worthy of his hire. You see a
scheming and INSCRIPTIONS capital

this industrial and domestic drama
until It shifts to New York.

are liberal employers of labor who
pay and believe in high wages, it is
possible for exhibitors by giving
this employer an advance showing Of
