FIGHTING SISTERS
OF FIGHTING MEN
Twenty Thousand Nurses Now
Enrolled in American
Red Cross.

Of the eighty odd thousand register
ed trained nurses in the United States
about 10000 have enrolled as Red
Cross nurses, volunteering their serv.
ices at the front, in environments and
hospitals or in any other needed ca
pacities This enrolment is the nurs-
ing reserve of the United States Army
Nurse Corps and the United States
Navy Nurse Corps. and from 1t will
also be drawn contingents for service
under other allied flags than our own.
The enrolment goes on at the rate of
1000 volunteers a month. On a basis
Of an army of a million men over 3d.
600 nurses will be required for active
duty in the present year.
Up to the last of February over
1000 nurses had been actually detailed
to duty or were ready for immediate
mobilization. So it is seen that there
are none too many, in view of the re-
quirements of the service. since be-
tween time of enrolment and actual
assignment to duty the nurse must un-
dergo a period of special study and
training for war service, and the work
of organizing and mobilizing this
"army Of mercy" is no small thing.
A Nurse Is Soldier.
Surgeon General Gorgas has called
upon the Red Cross to supply 5000
nurses for the Army Nurse Corps by
June 1, and if this quota is forthcom-
ing the total number detailed will
have reached 10000 So the mobiliza-
ton Of another $4,000 to $4,000 by
Jan. l, 1919, will be big problem to
solve.
Now, nurse is a soldier. She is
recognized officially by the govern
ment and included in those eligible
for soldiers and sailors war insur.
ance. A nurse goes into actual danger
of wounds and death by she'll fire and
bomb explosion. Her work is arduous,
exacting, calling for the finest quail
ties of mind and heart She is the
right hand Of the surgeon.
So, because nursing is primarily
woman's job, the war nurse is proper
ly the peculiar responsibility Of the
women Of America. While the trained
nurse is urged to volunteer the risk
of her life at the front, the American
woman at home is commanded by ev-
cry dictate Of patriotism and humanity
to support her fighting sister,"
The nurse fights. pain, disease and
death, making her sacrifice with amaz-
ing cheerfulness and enthusiasm.

We have -alked it over at our house.
Talked it over as we have never talked
it over before. We did not want Eyes
O'Blue to know about it, nor did we
want to lay any part of the worlds
heavy burden upon the heart of Tousle-
head. We have taught them that the
world is q good and beautiful place,
but last night, gathered beneath the
light in the humble little parlor at our
house, we talked it over between u.s.
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world is good it is not
all good that there are men who have
started out to enslave the world and
who in the furtherance of that ambi-
ton have done awful things.
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until we sat with our
arms about them. We told them Of
hands hacked from baby wrists. Of
death rained from the sky upon help
less little ones, of murder rising from
the seas green deeps to feed upon
helpless mothers and babies.
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going TO the far front to fight
and, If need be, die TO keep this hOr-
ror from our land We told them Of
burns and wounds and suffering.

AT OUR HOUSE
Eyes O'Blue and Tousehead Learn About the Red Cross
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

And THEY'VE told them of the Red
Cross
We had number Of Red Crosses in
our windows, but they had not known.
We told them Of the bandages and
supplies needed to allay suffering.
We told them of the noble women who
are giving their lives to the binding
up of hurts of the boys in khaki
We told them Of the great need Of
money with which to carry on the
work of mercy.
Then Eyes O'Blue in a voice which
choked with pity for the distressed
spoke of her savings, and Touslehead
clapped her hands at the thought.
This morning l went to the bank
and withdrew their savings, $63. 30, and
they are to be put to work-to a bet
ter work than they have been doing.
At our house for the duration of the
war we expect to keep the days" we
expect to wear cobbled shoes and
patched clothing, and if we ever hest
tate in our sacrifice I shall see the
faces of Eyes OBlue and Touslehead
as, with tears on their cheeks, they
smiled at the thought of the help they
might be to the Red Cross.
Are you helping us to carry the Red
Cross?

ENTERED INTO REST
John w. Taylor.

John w. Taylor was born April 6,
1851, at Hazel Green. Wis, and died
April 25, 1918, at Linden, after brief
illness.
His fathers family moved to Linden
in 1866 where. after a short time at
school, he worked with his father as
carpenter and cabinet maker. In the
meantime, having become interested in
law, he was given an opportunity to
study at the Office of Barber & Clement
son at Lancaster. After being admit
ted to the bar, he returned to Linden to
practice his profession.
He was united in marriage with Mar
garet. Osborne in 1879, at Ogden, Iowa.
In 1880, he was elected district attor-
ney for Iowa county, which position he
resigned in the second term to move to
Britt, Iowa, returning to Linden in
1885. Linden has since been his home.
Here his wife and two children, Flor
ence W. Taylor and John W. Taylor,
survive him. Besides his immediate
family, two brothers S. FL. Taylor and
Samuel J. Taylor and three sisters Mrs
I. G. Dewitt, Mrs Charles Jackson and
Lille J. Taylor survive him.
He loved Linden and was happy to
serve her people on the county board
and in professional way. He knew
that Linden's future lay with her chill
dren-that they must have equal edu-
cational opportunities. For these
things he worked.
Those who knew him best knew that
he was happiest in his home. AS he
was wont to walk around the yard, we
know that he loved his trees and joined
with them these sentinels of nature and
of God, in pointing upward to things
that are higher.

JOHN MADISON'S FAMILY

When John Madison sailed for
France there were no indications that
his family would suffer in pecuniary
way While he served his country. Johns
father was earning good wages. Johns
younger brother. Henry, driver, was
helping out the family budget.
Then Johns father was stricken with
pneumonia. His earning power stop
ped. Henry met with an accident. If
John had stayed home he could hove
carried his mother and little sisters
through the crisis But John was with
Pershing overseas. Must his family
suffer restitution?
The Madison family's dilemma was
reported to the Red Cross and prompt
" placed In the hands of Home Serv-
ice. As result the best medical at
tention was secured for Johns father
and brother. Immediate funds were
placed In the mothers hands to pro-
vide for the household as before the
family income stopped. In the brief

had driven poverty from the absent
soldiers home
The whole aim and object of Home
Service is to protect the welfare Of the
soldiers family while he is away and
to maintain as far as possible the
same standards Of home life that pre-
vailed while he was at home More
than this, when the standard of living
is low it is the duty and the opportu-

standard.
Think of what it means to John
Madison and his legions Of comrades
in khaki and in blue to realize that in
their absence their loved ones will be
safeguarded as carefully and as con-

 Senator Roberts stated that when this bill came over from the house he had voted to advance it and so had the junior senator from Cochise (Sutter). He suggested that ii might be advisable for the senate to provide a guard for the senators from Coohisc when they return home
 The editorial has been the subject of much discussion in legislative cir cles for the past two days. The Bis bee Ore has been frequently referred to by supporters of the Hunt admin istration as 'one of the three daily papers in the State not controlled by the copper interests"
 While the bill was under discus sion, Senator Claridge declared that it has vicious features and provisions that are thoroughly socialistic.

 Although the situation along the great crescent-shaped battle line in Northern Italy remains somewhat obscure, it seems that the Austrians have accomplished little at the in- ception of their drive against the Italian and Allied armies. From the lower Piave river and northward along that stream come encouraging reports telling of the enemy being checked and at some points being hurled back across the stream. From the Piave to the Brenta, where the Teutons advanced through mountain ravines in their attempts to break through the Allied lines, the situation seems to be well in hand.
 It now appears that the Austrians made three successful attempts to cross the Piave One was south of Montello. where the battle line leaves the Pave river and mounts to the westward into the Alps. One was between Candelu and Benson loop. where the Austrians effected a cross ing last November and held a bridge head for some time. The other was at $. Dona Piave, about II miles from the mouth of the river.
 At least some of these forces have been driven back across the river, while the others have not been able to develop any advantage from their carly success.
 Reports show that the tactics fol- lowed by the Austrians we're simi- lar to those which brought success to the Germans in the Sommc and Aisne offensives. The enemy ad- vanced, under cover of a smoke bar rage from bombs and smoke appara- tus, in comparatively small parties These were directed against portions Of the line believed to be lightly held In France the Germans succeeded by this method in gaining the rear Of portions of the line which had to be evacuated quickly by the Allies. Along the Italian front, however, the foe was not able to penetrate far into the Allied positions and counter attacks soon drove him back to his lines.
 The result is yet in the balance. So far German troops are reported only in one sector on the mountain front but it is not improbable that they will be dispatched to aid the Austrians if they can be spared along the French front. Furious fighting is said to be continuing. The fact, however, that the first onset did not
