HEROIC WOMEN ARE
VOLUNTEER NURSES
MANY WOMEN NEGLECTING
THEIR OWN WORK TO CARE
FOR SICK OF INFLUENZA

The present siege of influenza is
bringing out many examples of sacrifice
and real heroisn The shortage of
nurses and help during sickness is being
met in many cases by people who are
giving their services gratis and who are
leaving their own home duties to help
where people are in distress from this
dread disease. One Moscow woman
with the assistance of her two daugh-
ters, has helped with the nursing in
home after home. She has given her
services and energies, to almost the
point of exhaustion, by taking turns
night after night of wearing watching
and serving And for all this they ask
nothing but the privilege of serving suf-
fering humanity.
Even the travellers are helping where
the call is imperative.
Mrs. H. F. Preston whose husband
represents the Burnett Extract company,
and who as bride is making the trip
of the Inland Empire with her husband,
helped out the situation at Oakesdale
When they arrived nurses were badly
needed but there were none to be had.
Mrs. Preston offered her services and
for two days and nights took care of
a family of eight who were all down
with influenza She stayed until other
help could be secured.
Another travelling woman, on steppig
from the train at Nezperce, was saccosted
with the inquiry, "Was she the nurse
that was expected" and on replying in
the negative was informed that they did
not know what was to be done for
family who were all sick with influenza,
as all the we'll were helping, who were
not too afraid of the disease, This wom-
an replied that she would assist for the
night at least, and Immediately took
charge and stayed with the job until the
expected nurse arrived.
So many real heroes are helping in
these trying times. The world holds
many hearts who are touched with the
sufferings of others and are not too
busy with their own plans to halt bit
and lend a hand

FORMER KAISER
LIVING QUIETLY
EX- GROWN PRINCE FLEES FROM
DUTCH WOMEN WHO CALLED
ON HIM RECENTLY

AMERONGEN. = (By Associated
Press)-The former German emperor
continues to lead the life of a recluse.
He is virtually cut off from all COM
muncation with the outside world. Re
ports that he was in constant comnun-
ication with his former advisers are not
true
There is no truth in the rumors that
the former empress is seriously i'll. She
has been troubled for years with an af
fection of the heart, and after her ar
rival here desired to have her former
physician in attendance. He arrived at
the castle yesterday and said that her
condition showed no change
Whenever there is break in the in
cessant drizzle customary in Holland
William HohenzoIlern and his wife
walk in the rain-soaked grounds with
one or two attendants. Sometimes they
take trip in a closed motor car.
The correspondent inquired into the
rumor that the former emperor intended
to move his quarters and learned that
Herr Hohenzollern is not interested in
other houses in Holland, and is not like
1y to move anywhere until he knows
more regarding his future.
Crown Prince Flees Women.
AMSTERDAM-A crowd of women
from Amsterdam recently went to the
island of Wieringen and made hostile
demonstration against the former Ger
man crown prince, who is interned there,
according to a report published by the
TELEGRAPH Frederick William, it is al
legged saved himself from the hands of
the women by flight.
The police force on the island later
took action, which resulted in Ger
man baron, who was staying at a hotel
there, and the Amsterdam women leav
ing the island.

RED CROSS DRIVE
IS IN FULL SWING
ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR DID
NOT WAIT FOR DRIVE TO
OPEN-EVERYON JOINS

The big Red Cross membership
drive opened in Moscow this morning
with a rush. Three booths were es-
tablished, one in the post office with
Mrs. w. F. Morgareidge and Mrs:
I. N. Clarke in charge; one at the
Veatch Realty company's office, with
Mrs. Jay Woodwork and Mrs. J. A..
McDaniels in charge and one at the
University of Idaho, in charge of Mrs.
E. j. Iddings and Miss Taylor.
There was a rush of Moscow people
to be the first to join. When the
booth opened in the post office half
a dozen men rushed up and wanted
to be the first to register, but they
were disappointed as 104 had joined
last week, paying their. money to
Chairman Simpson, who is in charge
of the drive, during the week before
the drive opened.
There is to be no siliciting until
the last of the week. The newspapers
have given wide publicity to the drive,
told where the booths are located and
announced that 900 per cent mem
bership'' is asked in Latah county
Nearly every one is taking member
ship for each member of the family.
G. B. Green took seven memberships
and L. F. Parsons took five early this
morning. The women in charge OF
the booths have worked hard and dill
gently since the booths opened this
morning and by noon several hundred
names had been written on the "roll
of honor"
Notes of the Drive.
If any citizen had lingering doubt
as to the popularity of the Red Cross,
that doubt must have met its fate to-
day when the three booths were opened
for the enrolment of new and old mem
bers for the Red Cross Christmas Roll
call.
Buster people than those in charge. of
the booths would be difficult to imagine,
and the signatures to the official list OF
members are already covering many
pages.
If the next few days of enrolment
week maintain the record of the first
day there will be little doubt that Mos
COW will achieve the goal set by the
national Red Cross universal member
ship.
It is believed that $500 will have been
taken in at the three booths when they
close tonight. Up to noon the post
office booth had taken in more than
$500, the one at Veatch's office $3.50 and
the one at the University had $1O4.
There was change of attendants at
noon. Mrs. Edgar c. Steele and Mrs.
Charles Clark took charge of the booth
in the postoffice. Mrs. Nisbet and Mrs.
Howard David took charge of the booth
in Veatch's office and Mrs. E. M.
TIul1ne and the Misses Tavey and Jones
took charge of the university booth.

stages of the influenza. In short
time every one of the fourteen guests
came down with the disease
