THE FUTURE LIFE

Harry Lauder. who lost his only
son in action in France, has spent
much time in the battle zone singing
for the entertainment of the com
rades in arms Of that lost son, and
he says this of the belief Of the SOL
diers in a future life:
81 spent many days in the trench
es, the rest camps, the hospitals. and
in the surrounding towns and the
most definite impression l carried
away was one concerning the spirit
ual atmosphere which surrounds the
French and English soldiers in
France. I talked with some Of the
men for hours at a time about their
thoughts Of home, about their feel
ing toward the enemy, but the one
thing I came away with. above all
other impressions, was the convic-
riOn that every single one Of these
nen, no matter what manner Of
lives they had lived before, now pos
seSs a calm. clear conviction that if
they fall in the thick Of the fight,
they viii pass into the life beyond.
That's why, We take such
chances, one man told me simply. Do
YOU think for a moment that if We
thought that life held nothing for US
than the earthly body we possess,
we would fight with such confidence
and eageness? We would not be
able 10, because we would be doing
everything in our power to preserve
this life Of ours. But seeing men die
as ! have seen them, l know better
than not to believe in a future life
And because we have no fear OF
death. every one Of Us fling ourselves
over the bags on TO the Huns with
q fierce, almost savage JOY. We are
almost japanese in our fatalism, and

because that spirit is sweeping
among our men we are going to win
this war. We don't believe it posi-
bic that men who go into battle,
knowing that they are fighting For a
righteous cause, and unafraid of
death, can be beaten back forever.
Some day, at some point, the enemy
must weaken and then we will sweep
over the top and nothing will hold
us back. We know it just as surely
as we know the sun will rise to-
morrow"

He argued to anyone who questioned
his policy Of cutting the market price
Of the bonds, that anyone had a right
to sell any bond be owned at any price
he chose to take-and could get; and
that anyone had a right to buy bond
at any price he saw fit to offer-and
could get the bond for. II is the same
argument which has been used by all
Of the bond price cutters. And in ordi-
nary times IT would hold. probably.
But Mr.. Gantz learned. when he was
before the district attorney. that the
United States is at war. and that there
are, in consequence, limitations to GER
tain activities which do not exist in
time of peace.

offered price for the safest securities

therefore possible under the sedition

ONE THOUSAND NURSES A
WEEK FOR EIGHT WEEKS

United States Army has called upon
the American Red Cross to enroll
thousand nurses week for the en-
suing eight weeks for military serv-
ice at home and abroad.
The Red Cross has set its organi-
Eaiion machinery in motion for the
purpose of complying with the Sur
geon Generals request.
The nurses for military service
have been enrolling through the REQ
Cross since the United States enter
ed the war, at the rate of about one
thousand a month. During the re-
cent special effort put forth to OBJ
tain nurses, the enrolment increased
about threefold. In order to meet the
most recent request of the Surgeon
General, that rate viii not only have
to be maintained but increased ma
terially.
The Surgeon Generals call is as
follows:
"In view of the great need of a
large increase in the humber of
nurses required for service with the
army at home and abroad, l call
upon your organization as the chief
nurse recruiting agency of the army,
to employ every possible means TO
increase the enrolment of nurses for
immediate assignment to duty.
"With the contemplated increase
in the army both at home and over
seas, there must be a proportionate
increase in the number of nurses in
the service. The army today is grow
ing faster than the nurse corps is in
creasing, and as the armies overseas
enter the front line trenches in great
er numbers, the greater will be the
need for nurses in the army nurse
corps.
Therefore, / urge the American
Red Cross through its agencies, to
bring to the attention of the trained
nurses of this country the nee
essity of immediate offer of service
and their enrolment in the army
nurses corps.
II hesitate to deal in concrete
numbers, but 1 desire to emphasize
the fact that I need today a very
material increase in the army nurse
corps and desire this increase m the
ratio of at least a thousand a week
for the next two months" -
With reference to this emergency
call for nurses, Miss Jane A. Delano,
director department of nursing of
the American Red Cross, made the
following statement:
1.-THE eight thousand graduate
nurses called for by the army, in
groups of one thousand a week, are
in addition to more than twelve thou
sand nurses already supplied by the
American Red Cross to the United
States government for active war
service.
with complete confidence in the
answer which the fifty thousand
graduates not yet enrolled in the
United States will make to this sum
mons to care for our sick and
wounded, l have called upon the Red
Cross agencies and all training
school superintendent to carry the
message quickly to every graduate
nurse remaining in their commune
ties. We plan TO bring this call per-
sonally TO each of the nurses not vet

London, July 1i--Telegraphing Thurs day, Reuters correspondent on the Mac edonian front says:

 While the Italians are pushing along on the western wing and in the center where contact is being maintained with tbe French the French are making good progress in the Bosnia region by over coming the enemy resistance and captur- ing the ridges of Kosnitza and the de- scending slopes.

Amsterdam. July l4.-Gen. yon Der Oster-Sacken, military expert of the Rbenish Westphalian Gazette, joins in the chorus with Lieut.-Gen. Won Ardene, military expert of the Tageblatt, and other critics who profess to disbelieve the figures given by Secretary of War Baker regarding the number of Ameri- can troops now in France.

 II. column article the writer runs the whole gamut of familiar arguments proving. perhaps. to the satisfaction of the Teutonic mind that there is nothing in Secretary Bakers statement
 The keynote of German expert opinion is that American cannot put up really biz army equipped. and if armed and equipped it cannot be transported. Gen eral Osten-Sackens article concludes with this naive observations.
 If the Americans cannot come with an army at least equal to that of Russia at the beginning of the war, they had better stay at home. In the end France will thank them if by doing so their country be spared further destruction"

HERTLING'S SPEECH

Copenhagen. Juiy H.-Chancellor Von Hertlings pronouncement on Belgium is regarded in high German political circles. says dispatch from Berlin to the Poli- tiken, as merely concrete statement of the position long maintained by the Ger man government, namely, that Belgium is only a pawn for Germany's use at the peace table. The dispatch adds:
 President Wilson's speeches had given the world the idea that Germany hoped to retain Belgium and because of this concrete statement was deemed neces- sary.
 German officials take it for granted that Germany will be compensated for the return of Belgium by getting back all her colonies and obtaining free routes to them.
 The fate of Belgium. according to these officials, depends upon whether the entente will accept these conditions If the entente tries to enforce policy of taking away the German colonies and in cutting Germany off from the out side world. then Germany will not sur render Belgium
