lea, continued battle with the allied
forces of America. France and Eng
land?
Some people think the drive will
end with renewed peace proposals
by the enemy; peace proposals of
more generous nature than ever
were offered before. That may be
SO; no one can tell.
But one thing is certain. and
that is IL peace proposals are made
the civilized world will listen to the
voice of Woodrow Wilson. His
word will be accepted by France
and England and Belgium, and
back of the line, where the enemy
is battling against civilization. his
words will be greeted with respect.
Mr.. Cobb figures that America
need not drape crepe on its front
door because We have sent some
thing more than half a million of
our lads across the sea. Certainly,
he says, we can have a little heart
ache when we miss them coming
late to breakfast in the morning,
but he wishes to inform every one
that they are just as we'll as could
be expected.
Happy? Sure they are happy"
he said. They are full of that in
eIaole happiness WhlCh every man
feels when he is doing his job with
a grin. Wait until they get into the
game. I'm not going to say they
have more courage than the fellows
Of France and England. But our
boys are fresh. They are full of
life. They have that exuberant
Yankee spirit which means so much
in a crisis; which you can't describe
in words, but which you admire in
action.
The whole thing is joke to
our lads. They kid themselves
when they weary of kidding the
other fellow. What is gold lace to
them? \ joke. Suppose bacon or
tobacco is short for twenty-four
hours-that's just another joke.
rs their spirit as fine. their en-
thusiasm as great when theX reach
France as when they are here in
their camps?" Mr.. Cobb was asked.

Just the same" he said with a
chuckle. why" continued this
master of humor, Il tell you the
American soldiers have carried hu-
NOR to the Old World and right

NURSING AS A
CAREER FOR WOMEN
THE UNCRowNED PROFESSION
By Jane A. DeIano
Director of the Department Of
Nursing of the American
Red Cross

The young woman who chooses
nursing as a profession has a life of
unlimited opportunities opening be-
fore her. For nursing. highly de-
veloped as it has become, is lust at
its dawning.
Now. while all the world Is calling
for more trained nurses to help in
this war. 1t is the profession of SUI
preme privilege for women, and aft
er the war IL will be no loss a pa
triotic service. Then. indeed, nursing
Will have new place in the world.
Nursing is no longer the care OF
the sick and wounded alone. 1t is
the care of babies and the prenatal
instruction of mothers, supervision of
the health of schoolchildren, well
fare work in Industrial plants, pre-
ventive work against tuberculosis,
mental hygiene work. hospital social
service. 1t includes administering
hospitals and training schools for
nurses, instruction of student nurses
and assisting in all the various
branches of community health work.
After the war will come the giant
tasks of reconstruction-both of men
and of countries. Europe, as well as
the United States. will need capable.
highly-trained women to help with
these tasks. They will need train
ing schools for nurses and thorough
ly-trained women to administer
them.
American Red Cross nurses are
conducting a teaching center at
Milan, in Italy, to-day. Before our
entrance into the war, Miss Helen
Scott Hay and her assistants were
administering a school for nurses in
Bulgaria at the request of that gov
eminent.
Unequaled opportunities are wait
ing for every strong and capable
young woman who becomes a trained
nurse. Her profession is advancing
rapidly as a science. The war. of
course, is accelerating this advance,
and the application of nursing to the
new discoveries in the war hospitals
Of Europe shows something of the
marvellous development of which the
profession of nursing is capable.

Founder of Russian
Woman's Battalion of
Death" Pleads For Country

Washington. - Voicing a piteous
appeal for military and economic aid
for Russia, Nine. Maria Botch-
karova, founder and commander of
the Russian woman's Battalion of
DEATH" pleaded with Secretary of
State Lansing and Secretary of War
Baker for assistance for her war
torn country from the plenteous re-
sources of America and her allies.
She pointed out that there is still
a strong pro-ally sentiment in Rus
sia, which, if unified and consoli-
dated by the joint efforts of America
and the allies, could be utilized with
great effect against the German
hordes now overrunning the country.
The voice of this brave woman
warrior, who has risked her life In
the trenches. who has been four
times wounded, and who barely es-
capped from Russia with her life, is
like a cry from the great heart of
the Russian people. She comes, not
as the official envoy of any military
or political clique, but as a direct,
self-constituted representative of the
masses of Russia
While it was pointed out that no
assistance of either a military or
economic character could be given at
present. Nine. Botchkarova was ac-
corded a hearty welcome when she
appeared at the State, War and Navy
Building. The conference with Sec
retaries Lansing and Baker was at
tended by Boris Bakhmetieff, Rus
sian ambassador. Nine. Botchka-
rova, upon the conclusion of the con-
ference, thanked the secretaries for
their courtesy.
Though no action will be taken at
present to follow the suggestions of
Nine. Botchkarova as to the render
ing of military aid to Russia, it is
we'll known in official circles that
plans for economic relief of that ma
ton are being considered by both
the United States and the allies

To-day is the last opportunity to
see Elsie Ferguson in "A Dolls
House" In this
Elsie Ferguson in photoplay Miss
"a Dolls House" Ferguson appears
as beautiful
doll wife, absolutely without initia-
tive and whose character has been
formed in the environment of a home
where she has been reared in a highly
impractical manner. The gradual de-
velopment of this child wife into a
strong, resourceful woman is the
basis of an exceedingly interesting
psychological study, of which Miss
Ferguson's abundant dramatic talent
makes the most.
Acclaimed as one of the finest mo-
ton picture productions in this coun-
try in years, Loves Conquest" based
upon "Gismonda," the celebrated play
by Nictorien Sardou, which is the sec
ond starring vehicle in Paramount
pictures for Nine. Cavalieri. the fam
Gus operate star, will be seen to-mor-

"a brand of shame. In this particular
story the yellow ticket was given to
young Jewish woman whose only
hope of escaping the wrath of the
Russian official meant the taking out
the ill-famed cardboard. How the
yellow passport is used and what it
meant to a noble woman trying to
escape from the tortures of Russian
