[Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-Success in obtaining pledges for $4,000.000 to- ward the $5,000,000 church pension fund being raised for Protestant Episcopal clergymen and their de- pendent families was announced lere today by Bishop William Law renee. of Massachusetts, chairman of the fund committee.
 This great sum of money is the largest the church has ever raised in so short a time,' said BishoE Lawrence. The campaign, whic ' began March l. 1916, will end c4l March I of this year. On that day the entire $5,000,000 must be in hand otherwise we are not entitle to keep the four millions now pledged. We are confident. however, that the extra $1000, GOO will be raised, and that this pension system will be firmly established to provide substantial life pensions for old and disabled clergy men,"
 The plan, as described in an an nOuncement by the committee, is based on thorough investigation and recognized actuarial principles" II IS called to provide a minimum oltt age pension of $500 to clergy who voluntarily retire at the age of 6S, while the maximum is to be half the average salary.
 The disability pension also is to be provided, at any age. reckoned on the basis of 40 per cent of the average salary.

What the Women Com DO IN War
By LEONARD WOOD,
Major General United States Arm

mdJOi SclSIdl OHitcu otdtSs Aiuiy.
War brings with it a call to ma
tional service for women as we'll as
men. There are two very important
ways in which women can help the
nation IN war:
Firstly working in industry,
thereby releasing men for the front,
and
Secondly joining the American
Red Cross.
Every man and woman owes it as a
duty to the country to become men,
Der of the American Red Cross. Men,
bership-it is as low as $l-should be
universal. Instead of having men,
bership of 100000, as at present, the
American Red Cross should far ex-
coed the 100000 membership in ia
pan, the 100000 in Russian and the
million each in France and England.
Membership alone does not neces-
sarily imply service 1t means merely
that one helps to support the admin
istrativc organization directing the
work of the Red Cross.
After membership there is opportu-
nifty for service with the Red Cross.
Every chapter has its work rooms and
its auxiliaries. 1t has trained instruc-
tors in the preparation of hospital and
surgical supplies needed here and
abroad.
Many chapters have classes in first
aid to the wounded, home care of the
sick, home dietetics and in the making
of surgical dressings. All of these
are at the service Of women who
wish to aid their country.
But what the Red Cross does need
today is trained women for the work
of military relief. The. immediate call
is for competent nurses. A soldiers
life is too precious to risk in I'M
skilled hands. Nurses must largely be
drawn from the hopitals of the cities.
Women must be found to take the
places of many nurses in civilian hos
pitfalls. To prepare for this emer-
gency the Red Cross has been con-
Quoting great training classes for
women.
From them will largely be drawn
also the nurses aids attached to the
base hospitals organized throughout
the country. Twenty-eight of these
hospitals, with 500 beds each and a
complement of fifteen nurses aids,
are now ready for active service. Even

ton companies of the country" said
General Manager Leussler of the
Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail
way company.
I'VE do not wish to change from
the standard Scent fare if we can
possibly help it, 1t is question
whether the public would rather have
a lower standard of service or high
er rate of fare, We don't think our
patrons would stand for a deprecated
service" continued this official.
The Wall Street Journal of this
week carries an article on the subject.
State railway commissions of eastern
states have authorized 6-cent rate
and even as high as cents in some
instances upon showings made by the
companies,
Mr.. Leussler declares his company
has been giving the matter considera-
ton. but has arrived at no decision.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-05-13

which in time of war should merge
with the Red Cross just as the Ma
tional Guard merges with the regular
army.
The Red Cross is the big brother of
the medical services. The army and
navy cannot get along without it.
Without it warning nation is almost
helpless for the reason that nation
in time of war is unable to provide
an adequate medical organization
without civilian aid.
In no war have there ever been
enough nurses and surgeons. As no
chain is stronger than It's weakest
link, so no army is stronger than its
Red Cross. So clearly is this under
stood that IN time OF war the govern
ment requires the Red Cross to give
all its energies and facilities to the
nation, caring for the fighting men
and their dependents at home.
The Red Cross is the only organiza-
ton authorized by the government to
render war relief service. It acts
under a charter from the government.
Congress passed the act incorporating
it. This at made the president its
official head and placed representa-
tives of the army and navy on its di-
recting staff.
In other words. the Red Cross is
officially as much a part of the gov
crnment machinery as the army it
self.
Despite this official standing. how
ever, the Red Cross must depend upon
voluntary service of women and men.
1t is the great volunteer army that is
serving humanity as well as the ma
ton. And it is an army made up
largely of women.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-05-13

the doctors and nurses attached to
these units have been innoculated
against typhoid and other dangers OF
field service.
The functions of the Red Cross,
however, go far beyond service in
military hospitals. In addition to the
department of military relief is the
department of civilian relief, equally
large and equally important.
Dependents of fighting men cannot
be neglected. Red Cross committees.
assisted by expert investigators, take
care of children who need aid. The
needs of convalescing soldiers from
the front will be looked after.
If the time comes when women
must go into industry, the burden of
caring for children must be shifted
from many mothers. Homes or nur-
series must be found for infants. 1t
is the Red Cross that is called upon
to meet these emergencies also.
Between the Red Cross and other
relief organizations there should be
cooperation. The independent Or
CARNATIONS should constitute a sort
OF "relief militia" or service force.

MRS. GANGESTAD
HELD UNDER BOND
Wife of Real Estate Broker
Bound Over for Trial on
Charge of Stabbing Her
Husband With Shears.

Mrs. Nina Mae Gangestad. militant
wife Of Edward G. Gangestad, real es-
ate broker, smiled all the time she
was in court yesterday to answer to
the charge Of stabbing her husband
with intent to wound.
Not once did she glance at Mr..
Gangestad, who leaned on a stout
zane and gazed grimly at his wife's
back, the only view she allowed him.
Not a word did Mrs. Gangestad
utter. Through counsel she entered
plea of not guilty, waived prelim-
nary examination and was bound
over to the district court under bonds
If $780,
The posting of the bond was merely
matter of minutes. The fair de-
PENDANT had already offered bond of
$1,000 as surety for her appearance
in court.
Woman Modishly Gowned.
Mrs. Gangestad wore black and
white checked suit of stylish cut, a
large picture hat with two birds Of
paradise feathers and scarf of white
fox fur. From her ear lobes hung
two pearls.
The domestic affairs of the Gange-
stads bulk large in police history. A
divorce, a remarriage, a suit for d.
vorce, a reconciliation and an assault
and battery case preceded Mrs.
Gangestad's alleged stabbing of her
husband with a pair of shears. Later
Mrs. Gangestad and Walter Jewell, a
bell boy in a local hotel, were ar
rested on a statutory charge.
Mr.. Gangestad swore out the war
rants in the last case, which is await
