American Red Cross Survey of Nursing

Miss Delano, Director of Nursing of the
American Red Cross at National Head
quarters, is leaving for France and sends
this message to the New England Di-
vision:
81 hope and expect that on my return
from France we shall have available in
all parts of the country the most COM
plete statistics possible of all women who
come within the scope of our Survey.
The importance of this cannot be ov r
estimated 1t is very important to get
questionaires filled out, not only by
graduate nurses, but all others coming
under this group.
All womon in New England should re-
spond and give the Nation not only what
it needs, because it is so great. uut what
it deserves because it is our own.
We hope that this appeal of Miss De-
lano will give the necessary encourage
ment to all women of nursing ability who
can fill in and sign the questionnaire.-

man.

RALPH EMERY.

Ralph Emery aged 58 years, died
Sunday morning, Dec. 9th, in New York
city, after an illness of only few hours
He had gone to New York on business
trip.
To those intimately acquainted with
him Mr.. Emery was an interesting
character. The staunchness of his friend
ship and the warm kindness of his heart
endeared him to those who knew him.
Mr.. Emery was one of Kalamazoo's s
best known business men, being a dlrec-
tor of the First National bank of that
city and also director in the Provincial
Paper Co. of Toronto and the Mon
roe Calculating Machine Company. So
cially he was member of the Park club
and Kalamazoo Country clubs, the Old
Colony club of New York, and the De-
troit club of Detroit.
Mr.. Emery was an active worker in
local war charities and endeavors. His
last work in this line was as first assistant
to Fred E. Hodge, head of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan drive.
Ralph Emery was born in Belfast, Me, !,
December II, 1860, the son of an old sea
captain, Robert T. Emery, and Lizzie s..
Ross. He was educated in the east and
went to Detroit in 1885, where he became
associated with the Detroit Stove Com
pany through a Mr. Booker of Detroit.
He was married in Detroit to Louise w.
Buxton, January 10, 1890. To this union,
one son, Robert T. Emery, Lieutenant
813th Pioneer Infantry A. E. F., was born.
In 1902 he married Mrs. Elma Lee Cahill,
widow of the late Leroy Cahill. They
went to Kalamazoo to reside. This city
and Belfast have since been their home.
Mr.. Emery had retained his family home
in Belfast and it was his hope to live
there during his declining years. In ad-
dition to his wife and son, he is survived
by two step-children, Major Lee Cahill
and Mrs. Charles B. Hazeltine and a
grandchild, Charles B. Hazeltine, Jr.
Mr.. Emery was buried at Belfast on Fri
day the 18th day of December, the Rev.
A. E. Wilson of the First Parish church
officiating. Accommodated.
The sudden death of Ralph Emery in
New York yesterday deprives Kalama-
zoo of citizen of sterling worth. Modest
and unassuming, he has none the less been
a power for good and for progress in the
community. During the war he gave of
himself unreservedly to the work of the
nation, and in no small measure was the
splendid success of the Fourth Liberty
loan campaign due to his unremitting
labors as assistant director of the county
organization. A sincere, generous nature,
he endeared himself to all who came con-
tinually in contact with him. His loss
will be genuinely mourned by largo

Scandal, Monday.

AS the headstrong, wilful daughter of
wealthy New York family, Constance
Talmadge scores an unqualified success
in her new Select production, "Scandal,"
which is a gripping screen version OF
Cosmo Hamilton's novel. The picture
which will be shown next Monday is filled
with tense moments and reveals this
newest star as an actress of unusual
charm and ability.
"ScandaP' is simply story, vivid
human story of people doing the things
we see going on all around us. Beatrlx
Vanderdyke, the central character OF the
tale, exercised the power of great wealth
and exceptional beauty with little re-
straint. Allowed to decide her own
comings and goings, the self-willed girl
ran her head into the moose of most
hazardous situation. Scandal was whls-
pered and Beatrix had to meet the anger
of her family. Then Pelham Franklin's
appearance gave Beatrix the chance to
save her face by perpetrating the crown
ing audacity of her career. ''Play up,
she whispered, ooh please play up!' and
then announced her secret marriage to
him. Franklin played up-but in most
surprising manner, for he was determined
to teach Beatrix lesson. He at once
acknowledged her as his wife, and to her
dismay, proceeded to treat her according

plexities, works out to final happyendln9

The appearance of Mabel Normand as
star of the new Goldwyn patriotic COM
edy drama, Joan of Plattsburg," by
Porter Emerson Browne, constitutes an
event of more than usual interest in the
world of the silent drama.
In each of her previous successes the
star has displayed an entirely different
phase of "the new Mabel Normand," :"
at the same time retaining all her old
fascination and charm. AS Joan, the
little orphan in "Joan of Plattsburg," she
is given every opportunity to demon
strate her remarkable acting ability.
Ranging all the way from hoydenish
comedy to inspired patriotism and beauti-
full self sacrifice, the play affords Miss
Normand what is unquestionably the
most interesting and worthwhile oppor-
tunity of her singularly successful career.

Wallace Reid and Anna Little, Thursday
Tn an outdoor play, with the big timber
country for canvas and with the lives
of the lumber jacks for atmosphere, Wal
lace Reid, the ever popular Paramount
star. is ideally cast. This is exception
ally the case in 'The Source" his latest
starring vehicle, which will be displayed
Thursday.
photoplay involves the reformation of a
man who is addicted to drink and who
through the influence of woman and
the bigness of the outdoor Dfe, comes
back with a vengeance. This sort of
character is one of the red -blooded kind
in which Mr.. Reid invariably appears to
signal advantage and there is little doubt
that his admirers will find his new char
acterization one of the best of his screen
career.
Mr.. Reid is charmingly supported by
Ann Little, as the girl. Theodore Roberts,
RAYMOND Hatton, James Cruze and 9TH
ers. The picture was directed by George
Melford and the story is based upon the
successful novel of Clarance Burlington
Kelland.

''Pay Me-" Friday
"Pay Me-" the dramatic five-reel
feature offering of Jewel Productions,
Inc, with Dorothy Phillips in the stellar
role, will begin its engagement Friday
coming here from an unusually success
full run at the Broadway Theatre, New
York, where it gained the unanimous ap-
plause of the entire New York Press.
This latest melodrama, offered by the
Jewel Company-which is one of the
newest and most important in the pic
ture industry-was written and directed
by Joseph DeGrasse, from the scenario
of Bess Meredyth. Its capable cast in
cludes Lon CLANCY, William Stowell,
Evelyn Selbie, Tom Wilson, Ed. Brown,
Claire DuBrey and William Clifford. Its
story is one of gripping intensity, with a
complicated plot, which, however, is al
ways made clear to the spectator by
means of Mr.. DeGrasse's expert direc-
ton. 1t is tremendous production,
with beautiful exteriors, and some of the
biggest sets ever built for any feature.
A Big V comedy and the Animated

The Aircraft Report

We have before US the full official text
Of the sensational report Of the sub
committee of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs on "Aircraft Production
in the United States" 1t is the most
humiliating document that has been con-
tributed to all the controversial litera-
ture of our participation in the war. 1t
is story of S640, 900, 900 mostly wasted,
a story of laundering, of running to and
fro, of ineliciency in many dimensions,
Of silly optimism, Of hopeless and utter
disorder. Yet it is inconclusive and will
stand itself as an example of the very
thing it denounces-namely, wasteful
confusion. For this investigation ran
parallel to another. The committee
lamely says: "The committee has not
exhausted all sources Of information.
No attempt has been made to investigate
charges of personal dishonesty or official
corruption. That subject more properly
belongs to the Department of Justice,
which, under the direction of Hon.
Charles E. Hughes, has been conducting
an inquiry Of it's own regarding that and
other phases of the subject"
One does not see why this confessedly
inconclusive report should have been
published separately; if it had not been
so published there might have been no
necessity for publishing it at all. The
sensational content is historical; the
constructive part is tentative. In view
Of the diffuse and contradictory charac-
ter Of the evidence so far, we purpose to
wait for the Hughes report before assist
ing further at the obsequies. Some Of
the ceremonies may be premature.

and Foch now is to decide whether the
German will be able to reach the posi-
tions which he has fixed as the limit of
his retreat in such condition as to make
a new bid for the offensive, or will be so
punished in his retreat and so crippled
that he will still have to remain on the
defensive and thus invite other blows
leading eventually to a new defeat On
the whole, it has ali gone Foch's way, al
though it is plain that Byng, about
Arras, met with serious check in his at
tack earlier in the week and that the
Germans between the Somme and the
Scarpe are in great strength and are re-
tiring from ground they expected to
leave, once they lost the initiative, but,
thanks to Foch's strategy, their retreat
is not at their own rate
