tent need for thoroughly trained and
: competent nurses Miss Delano
says pointedly:
III the women Of America fail to
realize their duty at this time,
American men who are called upon to
offer their lives for their country will
suffer accordingly. The men on the
firing line must be nursed back to
healM. The nurses must not fail
them. Several thousand American
nurses are now in France, and almost
az many more are needed for our own
cantQnment hospitals where troops
are IN training. If we are to con.
t.rge TO meet the demands made on
us, the women Of our country must
be willing to accept equal sacrifices
with the men,"
Miss Delano aipo points out that
for many years to come the demand
for women trained in nursing, includ-
ing welfare work and health SCI
vice, will increase tremendously.

GERMAN PAPER
 PRAISES LATEST
 LONG RANGE GUN

New York, Aril zT-The German people are informed that the long range guns now bombarding Paris mark ''the greatest progress in the development of firearms since the in- vention of powder in a eu1ogistic ar ticle sent out by the semi-official Wolff bureau and published in the Germans newspapers under 8 Berlin date on March 28. The Wolff dis patch says:
 'In vain our enemies are racking their brains to solve the secret of our giant cannon with which we are bombarding Paris. They believe they have found the solution in an Aus trian long barrel cannon"
 The Cologne Gazette of March 31, a copy of which has been received here, says:
 'The 42 centimetre mortars in August, 1914, smashed Actresses which up until then had been regard ed as impregnable. At that moment there began a new period of the con- strUction of fortresses.
 'eThe 31st of March, 1918, brought the technical wonder of the 120 kilo- metre cannon and with it the begin ming of a new era in the history of the construction of cannon which, however, may be of far greater i'm portance on the course of the war and perhaps, for peace, than the Az centimetre mortars.''
