GENERAL WOODS FATE

[From the Detroit Free Press.l
The fate in store for General Wood
still remains obscure. He has had
an interview with the President, and
many rumors have resulted there
from, but meantime he has gone
back west" after taking a half tear
full leave of the division he hoped to
lead overseas.
General Wood is a capable officer
with a genius for organization. He
is liked by the men in the army and
he has the confidence and admiration
of the country.
II Woodrow Wilson, commander
in-chief of the armies of the United
States, with power of appointment
and assignment of all officers, will in
the near future give General Wood
a place commensurate with his posi-
ton and ability, he will perform an
action that will have the unqualified
approval of the whole Nation.

Praying and Believing
Washington Times.1 ]

At gathering of citizens, which
crowded the board room of the Dis
trict Building, it was determined
last night 20 inaugurate a daily mo-
ment of universal prayer in the
Capital.
The noon hour was settled upon
as the time when the ringing of bells
should summon all to devout
thought and a supplication for
strength and success for our govern
ment and our men in arms and our
allies.
Some of us are going to find our
selves a little rusty in our suppli-
cations. The prayers our mothers
taught us have grown a little in
definite in memory and indistinct in
form.
This, however, should not prevent
any person from Joining in this pub
lie and universal appeal for those
things which are for the greatest
good of the whole world.
Christ speaking to his disciples at
Jerusalem as chronicled in Matthew
xxi: 22, said:
Whatsoever We shall ask n prayer,
believing, ye shall receive"
In this daily prayer let us bear IN
mind the word Believing" and seek
knowing that we shall find.

NURSING AS A VOCATION.

The Importance Of nursing vocation and
the field it offers to American womanhood are
just coming to be recognized. Two of our
great contributions to the cause of public health
are the Panama canal and the public health
nurse AS to the latter, it seems undeniable
that the public nurse associations in our cities
are of as great service as are hospitals and
dispensaries in the care Of the sick. Public
nursing as a field Of effort is attracting thou
sands Of young women who find it an honorable
congenial and lucrative calling. But there is as
yet throughout the country an inadequate num-
Der of training schools and institutions where
they can prepare themselves for professional
work
Nursing as thousands of noble women have
learned by their war experience is something
more than vocation which promises indie
pendence. 1t is work for humanity, for the
world, to which they will feel more COMPEL
ing call than ever before Hosts of American
women who fastened across the sea at the cry
of suffering have found new significance in
their lives and the joy that comes of doing
something splendidly worth while. Can we be-
heve that these crusaders in a noble cause will
not come back with enlarged conceptions of the
duty the new incoming age devolves on woman

general who has the power to either suspend or
annul that right has life and death power
over the press. Newspaper publishers do not
ask any greater rights under the law than are
accorded to individuals, and among those rights
is the right to trial by jury. Barring publ
cation from the mails may be a more serious
penalty than imposing fine or putting the
editor in Jail. No man should have the power
to inflict such penalty. No man should have
such power over the press.

iNGHAM's QUEER ANTICS.

Atlantic Telegraph-News: Uncle
Harvey Ingham of the Des Moines
Register is either getting ready to
flop to the democratic side of the
fence, he is so obsessed in his adora-
ton of his own smartness that he
persistently spills the bean, or else
he is just the common or garden
variety of blamed fool.
The latest diatribe of which Har.
'vey has been guilty is that in which
he warns England that if she persists
in demanding that she keep her big
navy the United States will keep on
building and building till we have a
greater navy than any other nation
in the world, and then England had
better look out.
Uncle Harvey, in his zeal to sneeze
every time President Wilson takes
snuff, grows more assinine and more
amusing with each succeeding fit he
throws. He seems to forget that
America and England have been at
peace for hundred years, that three
thousand miles of boundary between
this country and Canada has not a
single fort on it and that EngIand's
big navy spelled the safety of the
world in the war just ended and
saved civilization. It seems incred-
ib1e that there can be any one har-
boring the idea about the matter that
President Wilson and Creel and
Uncle Harvey seem to harbor. Eng
lands navy saved the day for US and
for the rest of the allies. 1t would
be a desirable thing, from German
standpoint, to have England scrap her
armada, but it would be most I'M
desirable thing for the interests of
civilization. President Wilson said,
on sailing for France, that he would
insist on disarmament on land and
sea. That can have but one mean
ing. if that is what he said, and that
England must disband her navy And
England will have something to say
about that. AT this distance it looks
as if Americas part in the peace
conference should be one of modesty,
and, above all, we should remember
that our allies have TO live overseas,
that the settlement of every problem
in connection with the peace confer
ence is of live interest to them. We
should always remember, that while
