work, insofar as they may be more
largely employed in our manufacturing
industries, ard also insofar as they
may become members in, affiliated
with, and bemefciaries Of the trade
union movement.
1t is said that the female workers
of Great Britain are very grateful
to the trades unions for what they
have done for the women workers in
the way Of procuring equal wages 1t
is said that they call the trade union
their '.life-belt~ which seems a very
apt descriptive phrase as signifying
that the trade union helps to keep the
women workers afloat on the sea OF
Industry.
We trade unitonists have a duty to
perform, namelN that we shall be the
strongest possible Missionaries
preaching the gospel of unionism
among the female workers at the pres
ent time as well as in the future. We
owe this duty to- them and ourselves,
for we will not only benefit them by
helping them to secure equal pay for
equal work, but we shall, at the same
time, prevent our AOwn wages and con.
ditions such as WA, have and will be
able to secure in the future, from be-
ing drawn down to lower standard
by any successful efforts of the en-
ployers to use female labor at a lower
price.

The government Is now calling for
%, 900 young women to join the United
States Nurses Reserve and hold them
selves in readiness to train for service
as nurses.
The call Is for women between the
ages of 10 and So.
Intelligent, responsible women Of
good education and sound health are
wanted-the pick Of the country. A
college education is valuable asset
and many hospitals will give credit for
it. Credit will also be given for a
special scientific or for preliminary
training In nursing, such as that given
in special courses now being conduct
ed by various colleges and schools.
Some schools on the other hand do not
even require high school education.
Women will be given an opportunity
to enroll in the United States Nurse
Reserve in any one of three ways:
l. As engaging to hold themselves
in readiness until April 1, 1919, to &C
cept assignments to nurses training
schools in civilian hospitals These
women will be sent to the schools as
fast as vacancies occur. Those Of
superior qualifications will be given
preference, and it is If course possible
that not everyone who enrolls will be
accepted.
2. AS desiring to become candidates
for the Army Nursing school which
has recently been established by au-
thority of the War Department, with
branch schools in selected military
| hospitals.
8. AS engaging to hold themselves
in readiness until April 1, 1919, to
accept assignments to either a civil
ian training school or the Army Nurs-
| ing school. Those who so enroll will
be called where the first need arises.
The government hopes that major
ity of those who enroll will thus put
down their names for both.
The army blanks for the Nurses
Reserve have arrived. All girls who
have been waiting on these are asked
to call the Reid Memorial hospital at
once Over fifty applications have
been made and the majority of the ap-
plicants desire to go to an army train
ing camp.
A number of applications have al
ready been sent in. Persons are asked

Will the world series, if played,
draw big crowd?
viii it net the players and club
owners the fat sum they expect to
derive from it?
Probably not.
Leaving the matter of interest in
the series out of the discussion for a
moment we venture to say that the
matter of spare coin will prevent
thousands of fans from taking in one
or more games.
The average fan, like all other loyal
Americans, has been making financial
sacrifices to purchase liberty bonds,
thrift stamps, and contribute to other
recognized war funds.

Colonel DOukhonin Tells of
Horrible Conditions.

London, Sept. 16.-Appa1ling details
of the reign of terror in Russia were
given here by a Russian staff officer
recently arrived after Drawing death,
escaping in disguise.
The man is none other than Colonel
Doukhonin, who was chief of staff of
General Brusiloff during the Galician
victories.
THE Red Guards said he, "are
now completely beyond the control of
their leaders. They cruise around in
armored cars, prey on the defenseless
people. break into houses, steal, ravish

This" he said, was inevitable and
worse is yet to come. For no power

crops exist, I cannot see"

Financial Interests Would Enlarge
Functions of Federal Reserve System.
Washington, Sept. 16.-American
financial groups are seeking the estab-
lishment of a foreign branch of the
federal reserve system.
1t would constitute a parent bank
ing house which will serve as a basis
from which foreign expansion of pri-
vate banking can be accomplished.
The board has sought the opinion of
all banks having foreign accounts as to
their requirements.
1t is proposed to start the foreign
branch with only sufficient capital for
a new establishment.
AS the needs of American commerce
require, the necessary expansion in
capital can be brought about, officials
say.
The primary service of such a bank.
it is pointed out, would be to stabilize
the value of the American dollar. 1t
also would tend directly to promote
American commerce by making the
dollar a standard measure in interna-
tional contracts, it is believed.
Expedition of settlement of trade
accounts would be another service per-
formed by foreign federal reserve
section, it is said. Especially in deal
ing with South American countries.
that work would be of inestima BILE
value to commercial interests, officials
believe.
