BILL WHICH PROVIDES FOR RANK
 OF COMMISSIONED OFFICERS WAS INTRODUCED IN APRIL TO CONGRESS
Discipline In Hospitals Is Lax Owing to Lack of Author
 ity of Nurses, Orderlies Do Not Obey

There are now more than 150,000 enlisted men assigned to ward duty in the hospitals Very few have had any training in the care of patients. Many dislike ward work, some even are assigned to it for punishment. Ac- cording to army regulations nurses have authority over hospital aids, but because the regulations are not clear, because the men do not understand them and because the nurses wear no recognition insignia of rank the men refuse to take orders from them. The result Is the loss of more than one sol- dier's life, as the following facts show: Gassed and wounded men were brought in together from a battle the nurse ordered the gassed men brought to the ward first, since only speedy action could save them, the orderly declined to take her orders" and many of the gassed men died; order lies untrained in hospital work refuse to observe proper sanitary precau- tions; they frequently force the nurse to wait their convenience in perform ing surgical dressings; they do not at- tend properly to the ventilation and heating of wards. There is just one thing an army man, will obey quickly and that is shoulder straps. It is for them nurses are asking.
 Nurses, unable to command the or derlies, are forced to do heavy work themselves, break down under the

AMERICAS PROGRAM

ID RESIDENT WILSON reierates in his New York speech his program for permanent world peace, defining of the principles he had laid down at earlier me
 The program the President states it is identical with the program announced by him Americas entrance to the war
 The supreme aim of American is the establishment of permanent world peace guaranteed by world league of nations.
 The when" of the speech it's most significant fact The league of nations be reached before the world to the peace table and might not be reached aerward
 is from the American standpoint the supreme object of peace dscussion and settlements arrangements and political readusmen must all be taken together part the great world.
 So far America concerned and the President would speak without the moral consent of the world the league to peace is to contain all the naons those whom would prefer to admit, and those whom would not.
 But is indispensable element of the covenant that the Teuonc powers shall provide responsible elements with which the world may treat Germany will have to redeem her char ace not by what happens at the peace table, but by what follows"
 The United States will make particular agreements. The peace table must be impara m must know standard but the equal rights of the several peoples concerned opinion the opinion of founds the American must follow democracy, the people will break them

strain and are unable to stay at the posts where they are needed. Cana dian and Australian nurses have rank as officers with the pay and quarters thAt go with rank. American nurses are working at a disadvantage in con- parison.
 Representative Lufkin in March and Representative Raker in April in- troduced bills demanding absolute rank. The advocates of these bills afterwards decided to support a bill giving relative rank. Introduced in House by Baker and Senate by Lewis
 The bill provides: That the members of the Army Nurse Corps shall have relative rank as follows: The superintendent shall have the rel ative rank of major; the assistant su- perintendents, director, and assistant directors the relative rank of captain; chief nurses the relative rank of first lieutenant; and nurses the relative rank of second lieutenant; and as re- gards medical and sanitary matters and all other work within the line of their professional duties shall have and shall be regarded as having au- thority in and about military hospi- tals next after the medical officers of the Army, and shall wear the insignia of the rank in the army to which their rank corresponds The bill does not ask for commission or for increase in pay.

FTLIBUSTER AGAINST
 SUFFRAGE BILL

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Fate of woman suffrage in the Senate was more uncertain last night than ever. After a day of debate, in which sena- tors confidential negotiations were publicly disclosed, the Senate adjourn ed until today with suffrage advocates hoping for a vote then and oppohents openly threatening a filibuster to pre- vent roll call until Monday because many senators were absent today making Liberty Loan speeches.
 Political charges and counter charges criticism from all quarters of the conduct of the militant suffragists. including charges that one. Miss Hazel Hunkins, of Billings, Mont, an em- ploye of the War Labor Board had cursed the American flag during a re- cent suffrage demonstration in front of the White House, and denunciation of the management of the House res , olution, featured the debate yesterday
 During the partisan political discus sion it was revealed that private polls show that the suffrage forces still lack one vote of the two-thirds majority necessary to pass the resolution. The polls showed 63 senators for the res olution and 33 against it, with the vote divided as follows: Democrats, 31 fo,, and 21 against; Republicans, 32 for and 12 against.

Asks For S1,OOO,OOO
 To Fight Influenza
Senate is Told That a "Mat- ter of Vital Importance
 Confronts Country"

Washington, Sept. 28-After con- sulting with health officials, Senator Weeks of Massachusetts yesterday in- troduced a resolution appropriatin2 S1 100000 for the Public Health Ser vices campaign. The resolution was referred to the Appropriations Com nlittee, Majority Leader Martin prom ising it's prompt consideration as a matter of vital importance which confronts the country"
 Senator Weeks resolution propos- ed that the money be made imme- diately available. '"Tens of thous- ands of people in New England" Sen ator Weeks told the Senate, "are af- fected, with hospitals full to overrun- ming, no nurses available, and doctors worked as near twenty-four hours a day as is humanly possible" Al Camp Devens, Mass, alone, Senator Weeks said, there are 10000 cases.
 ''The public health service informs me that it is spreading to other DOT tions of the country and they must have the funds to cope with it. he added
 Influenza, sweeping through all but thirteen of the army camps and ap- parently beyond control of local au- thorities in many eastern communi- ties, has caused a tremendous in crease in the death rate of the army at home.
 For the week ended Sept. 0, the Surgeon Generals office reported the death rate was A per cent, compar- | ed with 2.S per cent. the preceding week. This increase was attributed in large measure to influenza, but the | report pointed out that the figures die not show the seriousness of the situa. ton, as since last Friday there has been a further rapid spread of the epidemic, with many deaths.
 While the epidemic heretofore ha! been prevalent chiefly near the At lantic seaboard, the Surgeon Gener aPs office said it might be expected to sweep westward with a still great CT increase in mortality in the nex few weeks.
 Influenza continued to spread yes | terday in army camps, 6,S24 nev cases having been reported to the of flee of the Surgeon General of tn, army during the twenty-four hours period ended at noon. This was al increase of 685 over the new case last reported and brought the total fo all camps to 42.67.

 Our Government is about to ask us to subscribe to the Fourth Liberty Loan.

For this our people have already loaned their money, our industries are producing munitions of war, and our sons are on the battle field. Here we neither see nor feel wars terrible scourge. Merci- fully we have been spared. AS our sympathy goes out to our Allies who have suffered, our resolution deepens to win this fight for the vindication of human rights. For four weary years the invader has been held and now, with out help, and confident because of our fast gathering strength, the armies of the Allies are day by day bringing nearer the overthrow of Ger many and her vassal powers and that peace for which the civilized world is longing.
 Now is the time for us to make every endeavor-every sacrifice. The Fourth Liberty Loan must be a suc- cess. We can save and buy bonds It is our high privilege and patriotic duty. In every town in this State men and women are serving on Liberty Loan Committees and giving of their time that all may have an oppor- tunity to subscribe to this loan.
 Now, Therefore, I, Marcus H. Hol- comb, Governor, do earnestly call up- on the people of this State to buy Liberty Loan bonds promptly and generously, to aid the committees in their work, and to do everything in their power to further the success of this Loan. Let us do all that we can to the end that our full military strength may be exerted against the enemy and that our soldiers may feel that behind them is the strength of a determined people.
