VICIOUS
Utah Judge So Defines Wyoming Com
p~ensation Law in Hearing of
Coal Company Case.

Declaring that the Wyoming compen,
sation law is not only unconstitutional
u one of the most vicious pieces OF
legislation on The statute books of the
country, Judge \. w. Agee, in the Sec,
ond district court at Ogden, recently
sustained a demurrer to the second die.
Tense of the defendant company in the
case of Dan Il. Bozo against the Cen
tral Coal x Coke company of Rock
Springs. The compensation law was
cited by the company as superceding all
right of action in favor of the plain
tiff.
ozo is seeking to recover $4,000
damages for injuries alleged 70 have
been suffered while he was employed
In the company's coal mine at Rock
Springs on March 15,1917. Judge Agee
Stated in his lengthy opinion hat his
principal reason for sustaining the
plaintiffs demurrer to the company's
detense is h fact that the Wyoming
compensation law is purely unconstitu-
tlonal, both as to the nation and the
state OF Wyoming, and could not be set
up as a defense in the action.
Taken as a whole, this act, in nv
opinion, is not only void as being in
conflict with he process and equal
protection clauses of the constitution
of the United States, and also as being
In conflict with the provisions of the
constitution of Wyoming, which is set
out in the answer, but it is so unrea-
a in the provisions to which |
have called attention as to render it
absolutely void" said Judge Agee in
rendering his decision on the demurrer.

THE TEST.
American Soldiers Meet The Supreme

American Soldiers Meet The Supreme
Test and Prove Superior to Kaiser's
Trained Army.
Baltimore Sun.
American hearts beat more proudly
today than at any other time since this
country entered the war. Seicheprey,
Cantigny, Belleau Wood, Chateau
Tlierry-every engagement in which
the Americans had participated prior
to Mondays battle-had told but one
tale, had furnished illustrations of
the intelligence and efficiency as well
as the courage of our soldiers. But
they were all minor operations. 1t
was conceivable that the Germans had
not counted them Of sufficient import
ance to justify tie expenditure OF
munitions and men necessary to hold
their positions O.. to drive the Amer
leans back. They were all tests of our
soldiers, but they were not the test.
But on Monday the case was differ
ent The attack on the American
forces was part of a huge offensive,
carefully planned, made with deliber-
ate desperation. Victory for the Ger
mans meant everything, defeat meant
everything. Everything that they
could possibly do to win, that they

$4,000 WOMEN WANTED.
To Enroll in United States Student
Nurse Reserve.

The Government is calling for 25,-
600 young women to join the United
States student nures reserve and hold
themselves in readiness to train for
service as nurses.
The war is creating an unprece-
dented demand for trained nurses.
Only those who have take nthe full
training course are eligible for SER
vice with forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
hospitals at home. Their places must
be filled by student nurses enrolled
for the full training course Of from
two to three years. Every young
woman who enrolls in the United
States student nurse reserve is re
leasing nurse for service at the
front and swelling the home army
which we must rely on to act as oue
second line of hospital defense. Upon
the health Of the American people
will depend the spirit of their fight

There may be in this demonstration

upon building up war machine that
