Nurses Still Needed

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l am directed by the acting sur
geon general to bring to your attention
that several recent occasions the news
papers have printed erroneous reports to
the effect that the nursing needs Of the
army have been met
In a recent issue of The New York Trib-
une it is stated that "including the $4,000
already in actual service, more than 27,0O0
graduate nurses have been enrolled in an
swer to General Gorgas's plea for 5000 by
January l, 1872 | would like to point
out that while the American Red Cross IS
the official recruiting agency for the Army
Nurse Corps, it also helps to supply trained
women to the Navy Nurse Corps, the Pub
lie Health Service, Child Welfare Work and
its own Civilian Relief Agency. OF the
$4,000 women needed by the army by the
first of the year approximately $4,000 have
to date been furnished through the agency
, OF the Red Cross. The Army Nurse Corps
has directly brought in or had on its rolls
the remaining 5000. It will, therefore, be
seen that 5000 more women arc required
to meet the army's needs before January I.
1t is estimated by the surgeon generals
office that $4,000 nurses will be required
by July ], 1919. Accordingly, $4,000 women
must be reached and induced to enter the
national service in the Army Nurse Corps
IN less than year. J. ?. NODER,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I notice in your to-days editorial, in
Colonel McCrae's beautiful poem, you make
a misquotation which is very common-viz..

mind, the latter is obviously correct. The
former reading obscures and mars the
beauty Of the metaphor.
In q letter dated January To- 1918 and
published i'll your paper, A. Parker Nevin
quotes the poem correctly. He states he got
the verses from Captain Hugh Knyvett. In
Captain kpyvett's book, over There With

the word is failing" although, oddly
enough, he misquores the final line, making

RE, who claimed close friendship with

Nevin quoted it. I notice, also, that you

While it may seem petty to quibole abou!
a possible printers error. the case in point
seems to me worth drawing attsntion TO.

Grit

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: You are to be congratulated upon
the very successful campaign that your
paper is conducting in opposition to the
insolent Hearst press. 1t requires more
grit than the average newspaper possesses
to attack such influences; it takes courage
to continue in such a vigorous fight. But
you have done nobly and we'll, and in q
manner calculated to command the SUPPORT
Of every loyal citizen in this crisis May
further success attend your efforts!

comments from time to time upon the &C

SIX SONS OF TYRANUs
Six princely Hunnikins
Safe behind the lines,
While papa's Goths and Vandals
Fight with gas and mines

An armistice have wor,
Then out will pop six Hunnkira
For places in the sun.

mittee:
TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
CIR: have just returned here to-day
~ from trip west, and am pleased to ad-
wise you of encouraging conditions. Every
where Republicans recognize the fact that
the party's every action in state and ma
ton has been and shall be determined
solely by how we can contribute most to
the sum total of war good.
Further, it is recognized everywhere
that our party is making every effort IN
good faith to keep the war out of politics,
and partisan politics out of the war, and
that our every effort is given to the win
ming of the war, standing against an in
conclusive peace, and, while we fight in
France to make certain forever the right
of men to govern themselves, not forget
ting that we have d republic to preserve
in this country. Everywhere there is con-
demnation of the Democratic partys ap-
parent willingness to allow politics in the
war, and everywhere the patriotic course
of the Republican party is approved.
! want to urge you again, upon the cou-
clusion of the Liberty Loan drive, to give
to the cause that preferred attention and
renewed effort which it warrants. Repub-
lican success this fall means much for
the good of the country that its impor-
tance cannot be overemphasized. Let us
continue to strive to hitch up both great
political horses to pull the heavy load,
striving to see which can pull the harder.
Inclosed is facsimile of letter which
will be interesting and which ! wish you
would read carefully. You will note the
evident purpose on the part of the Demo
cratic committee to raise an immense cam
paign fund this year, as they asking
contributors of the last campaign to pay
at least the same amount this year, which
means that they are endeavoring to have
as large campaign fund as they had in
the Presidential campaign.
Also, note particularly the date of this

To effect the needed saving Of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance Of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
/. Householders to use not to exceed
a total Of II pounds per week Of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than TX pounds Of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage Of substitutes and One-half

2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate Of breadstuffs. macaroni,

In other weights. We also ask bakers

Idaho Law School Graduates
Successful in War or Peace

One Of the most active, aggressive
and rapidly developing colleges of
the university is that of law. This
college has its home in the admins
tration building where are to be
found it's offices, lecture rooms, court
room, and law library.
The equipment is ample, the law
library is an excellent one of about
five thousand we'll selected volumes
of text books and reports. No better
place can be found in the northwest
by the young man and woman de-
string law training. The primary
purpose of this college is to educate
men and women for the successful
practice of law in this and adjoin-
ing states; but it has other objects
as we'll. 1t has been long recognized
that the development of the think
ing and reasoning facilities and of
good legal judgment is a most EXCEL
lent preparation for a business ca
reer. Many Of the leaders of the
ssorld in manufacturing, commerce,
transportation, finance, and industry
generally, owe large part of their
success to their tarining in law
schools. AS cultural study, the
law presents most exceptional ad
vantages. Many literary men, scien-
lists, and other leaders thank the
aw for the depth, breadth, and pre-
cision of thought, and the tolerant
attitude of mind which made them

ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
g. There Is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, flours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat. potato flour, ct
! cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There Is no reason why all OF
the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subsist perfectly we'll with the use Of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds. a week. and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme in order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts Of the community less able
portion Of substitutes.
In order that we shall he able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded Of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton of the public by further limita-
ton Of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
Of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation of the distributing
trades.

men to which the older lawyers look
ed in the past for men to fill places
in their offices.
Graduates Of the law school have
from the first, occupied places 81
prominence in their several communi
Tties. They have for years held legis
lative, administrative and judicial po
sitions in the state. If the purpose
of higher education is the develop
ment of the qualities which equip one
for leadership, the history Of the mer
from this college amply demonstrate
it's efficiency.
The opening of the war found the
law men engaged in the performance
of such peaceful, civic, and private
duties as are usually discharged by
men in their stations. Uupon the call
to the colors, fifty-one law men re-
sponded at once-of this number,
eleven are now in the service as pri-
Yates and as non-commissioned Off
GERS; fifteen are appointed to officers
training camps and are now fitting
themselves for greater military eff
cheney; twenty-five are already COM
missioned, and are now in the SER
vice of the Nation where they are
giving good account Of themselves
as men and as leaders of men. So
far as now known, the following is
