THE CALL FOR NURSES.

NURSES like doctors special duty to their coun-
try in war addition to the support of activities
exacted OF all Theirs service which others cant per
form mission which needs the skill of careful training
IL II is to be successful Their work is important to
the army that isn't going too far to they needed
in winning the war and it is such a mcrcul helpful oc
cupation that all who qualified should enroll during
the campaign for 2SOO0 under way. They
are needed to ease the suffering CT sick and wounded
soldiers to help rebuild them and send them back TO the
fighting line Women who do this work should esteem
il Q privilege as we'll a duty, for women can have no
higher, nobler calling.
But not all can go to France The health OF the people
at home is an essential of victory well restoring the
wounded TO ranks and the Red Cross has barred the
married nurses from service Therefore is
important that nurses not qualified for foreign service
should enroll themselves to assist at home. Trained
nurses who have retired home life to families or
enter other fields realize that it is time TO set
aside their selfish interests least TO the extent OF giving
their home communities the benefit OF their training This
is particularly true here in Oka oma City where hospital
safs being depleted by the call All women who
ar. qualified should help best they and their
willingness by enrolling.
And since this likely to be long war, more
youna women should undertake this needul profession.
II takes time to train competent nurse but the training
IL helpful should the young abandon such
service TO become a home maker. She be better
mother because Of her knowledge OF nursing There will
he much work for women as more go war but
will be more important than this The called.

GERMAN TERMS NOT OURS.

THE VANGUARD of another German peace drive shows
up as the latest Hun offensive is slowed down
by allied bayonctS It is announced in Amsterdam dis
patches giving extracts from German newspapers, nclud
ing portion OF the pan German press which wants the
earth These feecrs of interest only emphasize
again the fact that such proposals be accepted Ger
many naturally wants peace while ii still is military
power Of might and magnitude To gain that end the Huns
would be likely make large concessions regarding the
western 'front.' and might approach the status quo
ante in the Balkans and the Russian front counting
is commercial campaign already started in the east to
offset TO some the cost OF war and depending on
Prussanlcd middle Europe to build a greater machine
for later war That in brief outline is the very most
that be hoped for in the way OF German at this
time and any preliminary offer IN view OF recent advances
would certainly he less than that
But granting that the lords might go so far in
concatory indicated above, II would still be
folly for the allies accept For this for perma
peace and the safety Of democracy There be no
such prospect while the kaiser retains his fighting organ
zatiOn and an egosoal ambition the world The
evil OF Prussian marsm must be crushed for au time,
the world must devote its effort TO combating that
power at later date and possibly with weaker coal-
ton The risk is great and tho sacrifices already made
to allow consideration of such adjustment
Nothing short of victory will vndcae our participation
in this war and that is the end toward which America
and her allies strive unSwcrved by etbacks the
price TO be paid for future Germany must be
beaten and the time administer the beating Is in this
war when Germany feels the strain of long conflict and
America is fresh for the fray the probable deciding fac
tor in conflict OF long duration No offer made to be
made by Germany has the welfare of the world at heart
and no German offer is honest sincere

NO FEEBLE GERMANY.

THOSE who disposed to wait for Germany to crack
under the strain of short ratons internal dsSenson
too patient for practical purposes Just how bad off
Germany is back of the lines say for certain
but do know that the Hun advance guard is showing
signs of NAL nutrition and great many of the bear
stories the Tcuts permitting to leak past the
may be built for the import trade The proper view of the
matter is to make up minds that Germany will crack
when the allies apply sufficient pressure break the
kasers machine and is folly kid ourselves with
the notion that such outcome Is likely to develop
These stories of German hunger and German
have been circulating since 1915 but the Hun armies con-
tnue to be reasonably busy.

SAVING THE BABIES.

NEARLY everyone loves babies, although there the
Huns and landlords who bar them from their houses
possible exceptions But for all this affection for the
strangers too many of them die from preyentable
Broadly speaking, these causes are neglect and
ignorance and the greatest of these is ignorance Hence
it is we'll that week has been set aside to promote the
health and proper of babies This is baby week and
should the interest of mothers and all interested

PLACING THE BLAME.

MERE MAN has his to attempt to tell the women
>'~ how they should their household affairs. How
ever. John Walden of the federal employment service
probably is right about II when he says the with
to hire help to blame because they find
no help to hire Women who must work for livelihood
have long held domestic service in high disdain and for
other the arduou toll involved Most of these
thc they might be called upon TO work
for in such employment. One woman does household
drudgery for a living complains that most of her en-
poyers try to beat her out Of part of her pay Another
complains that she is allowed in at the front
door Still another is denied the privilege of eating at the
dining table after the family has finished the
meal Meanwhile the nation is engaged in the worlds
greatest for the preservation of democracy, and
democracy, gentle sisters should be confused with
snobocraoy.
