scale may result from the war Lack
of labor and deficient transportation
facilities have not only held up pro-
visions needed by the housewife and
made them dearer, but have delayed
the garbage before the front doors un-

TRAINING DOGS
TO LEAD BLIND
French People Find New Phase of the
, War Developing in Methods OF
Lending Aid to the Soldiers Who
Have Lost Their Sight Through
BOmbardments and Gas.
(By AssociatedPress)


Plessis-Trevise, France, April Il
(By maiD-Training dogs to head the
blind has become an important insti'
tuition here. where thousands of ami
mails will eventually be prepared tC
lead sightless soldiers. The work is
being done under the direction of the
military authorities by amateurs who
owned kennels of police and hunting
dogs before the war.
Several hundred poodles are con
tinually trotting about the neighbor-
hood and through the villages, some
of them graduates of the big train
ing school, leading "poilus" who left
their sight in the trenches or in the
battlefield. This real experience put
the finishing touch TO the dogs edu-
cation. ~ 'E W
The training is divided into two
periods, during the first OF, which the
dog learns what is called Carriage ,
or road behavior, abstinence from
quarrels and resistance to tempta
tions to play with other dogs, neglec'
of garbage boxes and butcher shops.
Next he is taught to avoid obstacles
and how to pick his way across the
street with regard for vehicles.
Then he is turned over to sight
less hero of the war and kept unde,
observation for a few days to makc
sure that his training is complete.
The blind man, too, requires a lit
tie training with the dog, for he finds
it an entirely different matter to
follow the string after having beer
led by the arm. Guided by a person
he abandons himself to his conduc-
tor and loses all notion of self-re-
lance, feeling that he is dominated
by another will THAN his own. Con-
sequently he insufficiently develop;
his remaining senses to make up TO!
the one that is lacking. Led by a dog
which must be ordered. no matter how
efficient his training, he develops the
senses of touch and hearing with re
markable rapidity through the neces-
sity of remaining constantly atten-
tive.

Of United States soldiers.
That is the contention Of American
army nurses. md hund eds Of physi-
clans in the Medical Corps.
Mrs. Helen Hoy Greeley, attorney for
the Committee to secure Military Rank
for Nurses. has drafted a bill now be-
fore the Military Affairs Committee,
and awaiting the full endorsement Of
the surgeon general,
Mrs. Greeley explains the situation
thus
Under existing conditions the army
nurse, trained by three years study
and experience has less authority on
her own job than the hospital orderly
Of three weeks training and less ex-
perience.
Handicapped and delayed in their
work by lack Of authority, and by the
confusion and discomfort caused by
their indefinite status in the army medi-
cal corps organization, the army nurses
here and abroad are backing a move
what the army nurses are asking
Is not selfish recognition Of their rank
for personal honor. IT. is only the
visible mark Of authority conferred by
a bar on the shoulder and a military
title, which will enable the nurse TO
perform her duty with more efficiency
and speed. AS a result Of actual expert
ence in army hospitals ii is evident

her superior training by the enlisted

must be Tanked above him. The basis
Of military discipline is prompt obedi-
ence TO orders, and prompt obedience
Is best insured by badge on a uni
form.
"The bill TO confer military rank on
nurses expressly provides that their
authority shall be confined to sanitary
and medical matters only, and that they
shall exercise this authority subject to
the medical officers OF the army.
THE military rank asked is relative,
and not actual. Actual rank involves
commission from the President. pay,
allowances. title OF rank and insignia,
quarters, and power 20 command
Relative rank is conferred without
commission. without officers pay, with.
out allowances or quarters, and in
wolves merely ihe bestowing OF a titfa
and the right to wear the insignia and
exercise authority in a limited field.
Already the army nurses of. Canada
and Australia are granted military
rank. and in addition to title and in
sigma are granted officers pay. and
quarters. America should not lag be-
hind in this recognized efficiency
measure
The bin as now before fhe commit
tee provides for comforting rank on
army nurses as follows:
"One superintendent and six assist
ants for executive Offices In America

major; one director and six assistants

 NO CENSORSHIP
 There is no press censorship of any kind in the United States today. and at the personal request of the President the French and English governments have lifted all censorship regulations bearing upon American press matter.
 The widely circulated rumor that George Greet, chairman of the committee on public information, will have control of official publicity, in connection with the peace conference. IS absolutely with out foundation. There will be no such control and the situation itself precludes any such control. The peace conference itself will undoubtedly decide upon the manner of announcing It's deliberations and decisions. and the right of corre- spondents to free movement and inter- view is, of course, one that cannot be abridged in any degree.

DR. LOVEJOY TELLS . OF RED CROSS WORK Lecture and Pictures Show ing Red Cross Activities
 at the Majestic

"I want to see the American Red Cross 1oo,ooo,OOo strong" said Dr. Esther Lovejoy. special representative of the war council of the American Red Cross, speaking at the Majestic theatre last night.
 Dr. Lovejoy said that she does not sympathize with the boys who went 10 France, but rather with those who never got to go, and with the fathers who could not go. When you hear people taking about those who made sacrifices to go to France you may mark it as an erro- neous idea; they were accorded the gra- cious privilege and opportunity of going and serving their country and humanity, said Dr. Loyejoy.
 She outlined the work of the Red Cross from the home to the trenches and said that there is not a place between these two extremities where the soldiers so- journ for any length of time that the work of the Red Cross is not in ef- feet.
 Through the workings of the Red Cross at home Dr. Lovejoy said that the mo- rale of the soldiers was strengthened, in that the gratitude and hope inspired in the people at home by realizing that their sons, husbands and other relatives were cared for by such an efficient and phil anthropic institution as the Red Cross was transmitted to the boys in service.
 She not only pictured the dark side of the war, but brought out some or the good things that will come out of it, among them being a national and an in ternational sense of justice and new aristocracy-an aristocracy of service.
 NAt the conclusion of the address se- r.es of very interesting pictures were ex- hibited, which showed the great work of the Red Cross and the fighting of the soldiers in France. Loud applause followed many points in the pictures, as well as those in Dr. Lovejoy's address
 The speaker was introduced by J. D. Kirkpatrick, chairman of the Christmas roll call The same film will be shown at the Majestic again tonight and pr. Lovejoy will also make another address.
