A WISE PROPHET.

A. T. Mclean of Lumberton is a
prophet who has honor in his own
country, in his own day and genera
ton. AS has been noted in The Robe.
sonian, he has figured out to gnat's
heel howcome all the unusual weather
that has visited all the Atlantic sea-
board during the past months. When
the big guns roar in major offensive
across the broad Atlantic and it comes
on to rain in torrents over here, the
big guns are the cause of it all. If
it does not come on to rain in torrents
when the big guns begin to speak Of
tener than usual, or if no other unusu-
al weather conditions result, it is. be-
cause the wind is not right. For, you
must know, this theory Of Mr.. Nc
Leans is grounded on settled belief
that disturbance of the air currents
by the big guns is the cause Of unusu-
al weather conditions along the en-
tire Atlantic seaboard. Mr.. Mclean
is wise above his day and generation
and has set a precedent that other
propl let's would do well to follow: he
has fixed it so that he is right, no
matter what sort of weather prevails.
Is everything lovely, the weather
ideal, while the big guns roar? Hoot,
mon, that does not disprove his the
ory, it only proves that the air cur
rents are just right to prevent vii
famous weather over here. Does vii
famous weather prevail? Well, the
big guns roar. And there you are

Some military experts are of tie
opinion that the German high COM
mand is massing troops for a final
drive for the channel ports, that the
decision has been made to risk all on
desperate efforts to end the war this
summer. To some observers no other
explanation seems possible Of the dis
regard for the lives of German SOL
diers, who have been sacrificed by
wholesale since the drive began on
March 21. If the German fleet should
come out and offer battle it would be
taken as final proof that German
commanders have decided to end the
war this summer at any cost, no mat
ter how frightful. Meanwhile, Foch
and the Allies are confident Of the
outcome. Heartbreaking news is due
to come from the front time and
again, no doubt, but Of the final e
suit there can be no doubt. Germany's 5
fate is sealed.

WORK OR FIGHT.

Governor Beckett has SET in motion
machinery to catch those who by Idle
ness are helping the Huns to kill
American soldiers. His ringing ap-
peal to the people Of the State puts it
up to each citizen to cppo;nt himself
a committee Of one to talk to any id 'er
he may know for the good Of the cause
ard incidentally for the gocd of the
idler's soul-if by any stretch of
courtesy an able-bodied man who is
idle in these times Of stress may be
said to have soul. Certainly there
is something dead in such an one
and maybe a heart-to-heart talk may
serve to bring that dead something to
life. The Governor would get the idle
rich and the idle poor, without dis.
tinction. If the law cannot now reach
rich man who is not engaged il
some useful work he can at least b
classed as "moral vegrant". ard 81

10000 NURSES NEEDED.
Red Cross is Confronted by Nursing
Problem Which Not OILY Coz
Germs Military Establishments
But Health C Civilians.

Atlanta, Ca. June 1O-Nurses who
graduated iron registered training
schools prior to January 1, 1913, have
been made eligible as War measure
for enrolment as Red Cross nurses
through modification OF the require
ments, as announced today by the
American Red Cross. This modifica-
ton valves the technical requirement
of registration with State examination
boards which has been heretofore CO.
served by the Red Cross because Of
the demand for thousands of grad
uate nurses jim the army nurse corps.
before January L. =
The American Red Cross as the
chief recruiting agency fer this corps
has deemed it best to be N a rsoi-
ton to mobilize for patriotic nursing
service every graduate of a register
ed school. In announcing this change
in the registration regulations, Mss
Jane Delano, director of the bureau
of nursing at National headquarters
said:
'The present situation al the front
makes it imperative that we hasten
the enrolment of competent nurses
for the armed forces in every way
possible. We need thirty thousand
nurses for the army nurse corps by
January 1, 1919, for the care Of our
men at the front and for the new
millions who enter cantonments
through the draft These nurses must
be supplied and will be supplied as
the surgeon generals call fer them.
"The department of nursing realiz-
es that the American Red Cross is
confronted by nursing problem
which not only concerns military es-
Establishments, but: which has a vital
bearing on the health Of civilians, in
cluding the families of soldiers. These
general nursing needs of the nation,
it is believed, can best be met by mob
ilizing practically our entire nursing
resources by the enrolment of all
graduates of registered training
schools whether they have registered
Individually or not. This will add an
important number of nurses to the
rosters for assignment to military
public health, or American Red Cross
field or hospital nurses.
with all such graduate nurses en-
rolled, the unusual needs Of the army
and navy can be met without confu-
sion and with the minimum readiust.
ment in civil hospitals and public
health nursing activities. Nurses car
be assigned to the classes of service
to which they are especially fitted
and many married nurses not regis
tered can be induced to enroll fol
nursing service in hospitals and dis
pensaries. This change is directly i,
line with our previous extension O
age limits and with our practice O
not requiring registration in enrollins
graduate nurses for Red Cross hom
defense nursing. These previous ex
tensions of eligibility have enabled u
t to enroll and assign more than 1o,OO
nurses to the army and navy withou
undue disturbance Of the civilian nurs
; ing service. The new measure maxim,
t thousands Of additional nurses elie;bi
|. will, | am sure, enable the America,
q Red Cross to secure the additiona
military nurses desired without com
pllcating unduly the work of thos
charged with maintaining the healt
y and physical efficiency Of our civilia
: population"

CHURCH ADVERTISING.

The Robesonian is carrying IN this
issue it's first church advertising.
Pastor Greaves Of the First Baptist
church is sanely and keenly progress
i've and wide awake along all lines
and he is convinced that advertising
pays in church matters. And OF
course he is right. DR.. Greaves knows
that The Robesonian gives literally OF
its space in mentioning all churca
news ard that he could confine men
ton of the annual protracted meeting
at his church to news matter; but he
knows that display advertising puts
the matter before the public more
forcibly than it could be put otherwise
and that it shows the church means
business in it's campaign to save souls.
Church advertising has brought large
results wherever it has been tried.
