System Grown From so Red
Cross Nurses Before War.
By HENRY WOOD.

With the French Armies in the
Field. Sept 1S.-Seventy thousand
French women are now serving in
Red Cross ambulanccs and hospitals
with French armies in France, AL
geria, Morocco and the Orient. Ten
thousand additional women of various
foreign nationalities are aiding them.
The eighty thousand are beyond all
dreams of woman's part in the war
which any army chiefs of feminists
entertained back in 1914. There were
just eighty permanent French women
nurses before the war. Such tre-
mendous growth as this illustrates
aptly the part in the war which
Frances womanhood is bearing.
New Series of Medals.
In recognition of the devotion of
these women, France has just created
series of medals in gold, silver and
bronze which will indicate service
from one to three years. Scores of
nurses and hospital workers have re-
ceived the highest military decorations
which France has to bestow. Their
deeds of heroism have paralleled
those of her men.
Six thousand French nurses, it was
estimated today, serve constantly in
the fire zone where they are subject
to constant risk of death and wounds

RumOr Peace Balloons To Sound

BY j. w. It. MASON

New York, Sept. 1S.-Early restors-
ton of civil authority in Belgium to
the Belgian people is foreshadowed
by the German governments failure to
fill the vacant posts of civil governor
and assistant civil governor of Bel
GUM. previously held by German Of
ficials.
German newspapers have been
quick to find significance in the fact
that two important offices are now
without incumbents; and it is prob
able the kaiser's cabinet is now sound
ing public opinion at home, concern
ing the abandonment of German civil
control of Belgium. A move of this
character would be a natural prelimin-
airy step by the kaiser to an eventual
ly complete restoration of Belgium.
1t would prepare the pan-Germans for
the failure of their imperialistic am
bitions and would be a plea for peace.
Retain Military Strength There.
Belgium would still be subservient
to the military flats of the German
army chiefs, and no harm would be
worked to German tactics and strategy
if in purely local affairs. the Belgians
were allowed to exercise the powers
of the civil governor and his assistant.
The Belgian government, itself could
of course, accept no such compromise
with Germany, but the Belgians at
home might find it possible to do so.
The kaiser's principal purpose in
granting a concession of this nature
would be to save his own skin. If the
allies were to accept the restoration
of Belgium as a sufficient peace Of

SPIES TO COVER
Germany, However, Still Main
tains System in U. s.
But Recent Expose by Govt
Makes Them Timid.

Washington, Sept. 18.-Germany's
spy system and her international in
trigues are being rapidly uprooted by
governmental disclosures. While a
spy system still flourishes in this
country. officials declared today that
the exposures of the Argentina, Mex
leo and Philippine plots have made
Germany's workers more cautious
than ever before.
AS for the Philippines, authorities
said that the detention of German
Vice Consul Conrad Andre of Cebu,
on a charge of trying to incite an in
surrection had proven quite effective.
Since that time there have been no
evidences of any German attempt to
stir up the natives and to cause trou-
Bile for the United States.
In addition to the Andre revelation,
it is known that the Germans have
pursued their intriguing methods in
the far east extensively. China was
hotbed of activity. but this has been
stamped out by Chinese governmental
action in rounding up plotters
There was talk today that with the
break between Costa Rica and Ger
many, German activities to create i'll
feeling and trouble in the Americas
will be found to have developed in
that little country

John P. Dressier. As. a Santa Fe

Lad Tells of Paying the Wage

Girls Are Bound Over to the
District Court.

A Kansas mother today won her
first battle of revenge on two girls
charged with aiding and abetting her
17-year-old son in sowing some mighty
painful wild oats. AS a result May
Buck and May Baker were bound over
to the district court from the court of

Keeping and maintaining 6 disorderly

OF the girls proves as successful in the
district court as in the court of To-
peka the girls will land in state prison.
according to Hugh Fisher, assistant
county attorney.
While the for men only case was
being tried in the court of Topeka to-
day the mother walked up and down
the corridor of the court house Her
cheeks REDEEMED and her eyes flashed
as loud masculine shouts of laughter
floated thru the doorway as some bit
troduced.
The 17-year-old country lad didn't
finch an inch as he told of his first
and, no doubt, last side trip from the
straight and narrow path. He testi-
fled first to visit at the house of
the girls on North Kansas avenue.
Eating of watermelon was his only
indiscretion at that time.
Made a Second Trip.
The lad testified to a second trip
and to improper conduct while at the
house. Next he told the court of
weeks of suffering caused by his in
discretion, of a mothers solicitation
as to his health and of a final, fearful
confession of his trip on the crimson
path.
The mothers tears and forgiveness
were described. Also her determina-
ton to exact the laws toll to the hiIt.
A warrant charging the girls with
keeping and maintaining a disorderly
house was issued. The lad went with
officers to pick out the house and the
girls. He hesitate6, he admitted, in
locating the place and his first idea
of the location of the house was
faulty. But his Identification of the
two girls. one of them especially was
positive on the witness stand this
morning.
The girls both denied the charges,
altho one admitted the lad had eaten
some watermelon with other boys at
her home at a previous date The
other girl denied ever casting eyes on
the boy. Police Sergeant Strum told
the court that the house had never
been known to the police as a dis
orderly place. Neither were the girls
looked upon as disorderly by the
police, he stated.
The failure of the lad to identify
the house at first and the testimony
of the police, together with the de-
niaI of the allegations of both girls
demanded that the case be dismissed.
their attorney told the court But the
court held differently.

STILL RILED UP
Argentina Public Presses Govt
To Break With Germany.
Only Formal Apology Can Clear
Up LuXburg Insult.
BY CHARLES p. STEWART.

Buenos Aires, Sept. 1S.-Argentina
expects Germany to forward a formal
explanation of the Luxburg incident.
thru the ordinary channels of diplo-
matte intercourse, the German minis
terial post here will be considered va
cant.
Officials in thus indicating Argen-
tina's viewpoint today, intimated that
such formal apology from Germany
might satisfactorily close the incl
dent.
Not all of the public today is ac-
cept1ng such a view, however. Nu-
merous meetings are being held urg-
ing that Argentina formally break
relations with Germany. The strong
est pressure is being brought to bear
on President Irigoyen to this end. The
anti-German element is cauStically
commenting on the fact that Germany
is seeking to clear up the bald phrases
of LuXburg's communications by the
explanation of an under-secretary eX-
pressing regret and Germany's "abso-
lutte disapprovaF of the minister's
phrases.
Luxburg Finds Refuge.
Count Luxburg remained closely in
his place of refuge in the Austrian
legation today. The Argentine gov
ernment. it was understood, was en-
ure on Spanish steamer-either the
Leon XIII, leaving September 2S, or
the Reina Victoria, departing October
2. The Spanish minister was believed
to have taken up the matter of safe
conduct with the allies.

implored of the belligerents.
All the Teutonic replies to the peace
note have not yet been received by
