Surgeon General Gorgas of the Unit
ed States Army has called on the
American Red Cross to furnish to-
tai of one thousand graduate nurses
per week for a period of at least eight
weeks. They will serve with the

teen Of these each week. This is d.
rect call to the Red Cross. Red Cross
machinery is to be used for the work

which they have Jurisdiction. Each
Chapter will be primarily responsible
in its county and will give its direc-
tions to the Branches subsidiary to it.
Mrs. Hattie F. Rice of wahpeton

ARCHBISHOP JOHN IRELAND
PASSES AWAY WEDNESDAY,

AS we 60 to press, we learn Arch
Bishop John Ireland died at his late
residence in St. Paul Wednesday
morning at 1855. The eminent Cath
olic prelate had been ill almost con-
tinuously for nearly year. He suf-
fered a relapse ten days before from
which he grew gradually weaker until
the end. He was one of the most
noted among the American clergy and
was known the world over. We re-
gret that time does not permit of a
more complete publication of his life
work and of what he has done for the
northwest.

when more forests had to be grown or

TINE OF DAY NOT TO BE GIVEN
BY TELEPHONE OPERATORS

In line with the policy of the gov
ernment to conserve labor and mater
falls for war needs, the former prac-
tice of the telephone company Of CIV
ing the time of day was discontinued
September /.
When . telephone subscriber asks:
What is the time. please?" It takes
q much time on the part Of the opera
tor and IN equal use Of telephone
equipment as would be required to
complete an ordinary telephone call.
In Wahpeton more than 400 requests
tor the time are made daily over the
telephone. 80 when this practice 10
discontinued 400 more important
calls can be handled with the same
operating force and the same equip
ment.:
The; telephone operators have also
been instructed to courteously decline
to give information regarding other
matters not directly relating to the
furnishing Of telephone service. One
quite common practice which has been
eliminated is the calling of people in
the morning. Requests for this serv-
ice have been made in larger NUM-
bers than most people realize, partic-
ularly by people without alarm clocks
or those who desire to be sure of be-
ing awakened in the morning.
With the growing requirements Of
the government for telephone equip
ment for the fighting forces abroad
and service ter, training camps. sup
ply depots and other parts of the
war machine" in this country, tele-
phone facilities are taxed to their ut
most. The telephone people say that
to eliminate calls not relating to the
giving of telephone service will per-
nit the release of operators and
equipment for more important mes
sages and result in the company being
better able to take care of the service
with the present telephone forces and
facilities ~rsa, aAsxE -'t~'r'

WAS 1T A JUDGMENT DAYi

Bursting into brilliancy on June Z

Of the brightness it had at
tained on June 9, the new star was
named Nova Aquillae Nos. because
two other transient stars had been
noted previously in this same Constel-
lation Of the Eagle.
The phenomenon was . remarkable
one. From . star which could not be
sesn BY the naked eye. but which had
for the last thirty years appeared On
the Photographic plates, It suddsaly
became ten thousand times % bright

sion, but the obserxationa on this par
ticuiar event, made at the Mount Will
son observatory near Pasedena. Cali
fornia, admit another probable theory.
The spectrum Of the star the second
night after its discovery showed char
acteristic lines of iron. chromium and
titanium. But the interesting feature
was that they we're displaced greatly
toward the violet from their normal
positions. This indicated that the
blazing gas to which these lines were
due was approaching the earth at a
rate of nine hundred miles second.
Hence comes the theory that, in
stead-of two stars colliding, one blaz-
ing star or sun may have run head-on
into a celestial pocket of nebulous gas,
causing an explosion such as was new
er known on this earth or in our own
solar system. II there were planets
circulating about this distant sun, for
them what we have been witnessing
was certainly "day Of wrath, dread
full day." for the heaven and earth
would pass away with terrible heat
and the end of all things-for them
must have come.
If these pockets Of celestial gasses
are to be found in illimitable space,
there is no reason why our sun and
its train of attendant planets may not
one day or another, run into one of
them, and the veritable end of the
world as an abiding place for animal
and vegetable life appear at NOM
eye."
But space is very large and the
chances Of our sun fouling the gas
works are small. Yet It fs a possibili-
ty that should cause US to think, when
we consider that we may have seen
this summer literal Day of Judg-
ment for another sister system, some
billions of miles distant as the light
flies.
