THE WOMAN OF TEN TALENTS.

Clear and distinct comes the call Of duty
to every trained graduate nurse in North
Dakota.
It is the call Of country; of humanity; of
the wounded and helpless.
The government has issued an appeal for
the services Of $4,000 graduate nurses for
Red Cross service at home and abroad.
North Dakota, in common with other states,
is now in the midst of ten-day compaign
! to enroll all graduate nurses for active ser
! vice. The national committee has let down
the bars and has decided to enroll nurses
, who have graduated before January, 1918,
from registered schools, whether these
nurses are registered under state laws or
of nurses in this state. Mrs. Angela Boleyn
of 402 Seventh avenue south, is the secre-
I tary Of the local committee.
North Dakota leads the country in the
percentage of registered nurses in active
/ service, with 20 per cent Of its total. But
there are many graduate nurses who are
not registered, to whom this call will ap-
peal They may have retired from active
nursing, because of marriage or for other
reasons. Their country, their conscience
and the needs of humanity are calling to
them now.
And the call must be as clear to those
who are employing a graduate nurse where
practical nurse would serve the purpose.
In every case where it is possible, gradu-
ate nurse should be released for active duty
in the nation service. Such a nurse might
serve fifty wounded soldiers. Many SOL
dier's eyesight might be saved by prompt
attention. Many an amputation might be
avoided by prompt care. The nurse s knowl-
edge is priceless now. Her ability to serve
is unlimited. Much will be expected Of her.
She is the woman with ten talents.
Remember that only graduate nurses are
accepted by the Rcd Cross, but the new
ruling does not require that they be regis
tered under the state laws

NEED A BRYCE COMMISSION.

Herbert L. Pratt of Brooklyn, who has
returned from France where he has been
organizing Y. M. G. A. canteens, has given
an interview to New York newspapers in
which he makes the bald statement that
American soldiers on the Toul front are
stating that they found two Of their COM
rades crucifed by the Germans.
This charge has repeatedly been made by
the Canadians. Every Canadian soldier
who returns from the front repeats it. The
Forum has not yet found one who claims
To have himself seen crucided prisoner,
but many Of them claim to have talked to
soldiers who had seen it.

An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views of The Forum
The Minneapolis Journal:

The Minneapolis Journal:
If a copy Of Charles A. Lindbergh's book,
why Ia Your Country at War;" could be
placed in the hands of every Minnesota voter,
man that ever aspired to the governorship Of
the state. For the citizenship of Minnesota
10 loyal, 1t stands unreservedly for the cause
for which the country is fighting, and is heart
and soul back of the boys who are going to the
front.
Mr.. Lndbergh and the leaders Of the Nom
partisan League who supporting him finally
judged the sentiment Of the state Mr.. Lind
bergh came to see. not as he should have that
the book was a disloyal and disgraceful per-
formance but at least that it was a political
mistake. 1t then quietly disappeared from cir
culation, although up to that time it had been
quite generally on sale, particularly at book
stores specializing in Socialist literature.
The result has been that many loyal citi-
zens who have been disposed favoraby to Lind
bergh because they fail to understand what he
stands for are unable to believe that the dis
loyal and seditous quotations which have been
widely reproduced from the book authentic
Never having seen the book, they are still to be
convinced that any could have written
the sentiments 1t contains and still have the
temerity to stand before the people Of Minnesota
candidate for governor
The Journal yesterday, to dspel ali doubts on
this score, published Photographic reproductions
OF dozen or pages of the book The voter
can now judge for himself what Mr.. Lindbergh
stood for in 1917-after the United States en-
tered the war-and what he still stands for, &C
cording to his declaration at Cloquet on May g.
last. And it puts the issue squarely up to the
voters Of Minnesota between strong, aggres-
siVe loyalty represented by Governor Burnuuist
and the disloyal boshevsm Of his opponent
There should be no doubt to the outcome

DIsTURBERs OF THE PEACE.

The Western Union Telegraph company
is the first employer Of labor to decline to
submit to the mediation of the national war
labor board.
The general basis agreed upon for the
mediation Of all labor disputes by the war
labor board, was that the status quo on the
union question should be maintained. In
other words, the men should not strike for
the recognition Of union, nor should a
company lock out it's men for belonging
to a union. The unions were to have the
right to organize and secure all members
possible but should not strike during war
time to enforce recognition. There should
be no strikes for closed shop and no lock-
outs for an open shop.
Now the Western Union had adopted the
attitude that it's men shall not be members
Of the Commercial Photographers Union Of
America. 1t wants to hold a referendum
among it's employees, claiming that but an
insignificant number Of them are members
Of the union or want to become members,
but it refuses to accept the war board as
q mediator, and the latter has no authority
to enforce its position.
Several abortive strikes have occurred
where the men refused to await the action
Of the war labor board and walked out,
sometimes even against the orders of their
union officials. The Forum has not hest
tated to condemn such action as unpatriot-
ic and savoring Of sabotage, and the atti-
tude Of the Western Union officials is no
less untenable. Such strikers and such en-
ployers deserve to feel the weight of public
opinion against them. They are placing
selfish interests above country, and making
it difficult if not impossible, to adjust the
differences which must necessarily arise be-
tween capital and labor in such strenuous
days as these, when NERVES" are ION
edge" and mems emotions are very close
to the surface.

war worker entities his story to credence
on the face Of it. It should be investigated
by the Department Of Public Information,
and either denied or confirmed. If it can
be established definitely that such an afro
city has been committed, the record should
be made very clear.
America was inclined to doubt even such
an eminent scientist and historian as Pro
fessor Bryce, and the Bryce reports, the
most terrible Indictment Of a nation ever
given to civilized world, were discredited
here. But the time has come when America
needs Bryce commission Of her own.

tackled the Panama JOB, during WHICH ne
handled 10000 men speaking fifty tongues. Then
he became governor OF the canal zone
In 1914 Goethals came back to the u. S. to rest
Congress made him major general in recognt-
ton Of his services. Then came the war and
congress called on his services. He was made
general director Of the emergency fleet corpor-
alton to bridge the Atlantic with ships" A dis
pute in the board caused Cocktails to resign and
once more he thought he was out Of public life.
Then came the need for q man to handle the
purchasing, storing and movement Of war sup
vlies It was q big job and the success Of the
work meant the welfare Of the boys at the front
and part OF the success OF the allies stand
against the German hordes. The government
called on Goethals.
Personally he's a modest quiet, pleasant man,
He's well balanced, He's firm in his beliefs and,
once started, brooks no interference. 1t was this
trait more than anything else that enabled him
to go through with the canal Job. And It's this
trait which the of1cials are counting on to help
him handle and move war supplies.

A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep
ing Up With North Dakota Editors

The Washburn Leader pays this little tribut
to Congressman Norton:
P D. Norton will be a candidate for re-
election congressman from the Third con-
gressionaI district. This Is in keeping with
the desire Of the people of his district
There are indeed more and better reasons
than ever why he should be elected this
year. He has risen to place of influence
in the house Of representatives and men of
influence from North Dakota are none too
numerous in the congress of the United
States. Men Of experience and men who are
right, never were needed more than in this
time Of national crisis. There can be none
too many tried and true hands to guide
the ship Of state during this perilous time.
Norton has been right on the war since
the beginning. He voted for war because
he that to be plainly his patriotic duty
though at the time he so voted the move
was far from being popular in his particular
district-and he has upheld the hands of
President Wilson in everything that meant
the successful prosecution of the war.

made from the story by Dane Cool

anything Wallace Reid has done,
"Rimrock Jones" reflects the vital
life and characteristics of a certain
section Of the great west. Its author,
Dane Coolidge, is quite at home in
this environment, as he has travelled
through it many times not only as a
writer in search of material. but also
as a naturalist and photographer
