NINE NURSES ASKED
FROM LATAH COUNTY
GOVERNMENT w WANTS $50 0
MORE NURSES TO CARE FOR
WOUNDED SOLDIERS

The Womens Committee of the
National Council Of Defense are ar
ranging for recruiting stations to be
open next week for the enrolment
of student nurses to train for service
as nurses.
The quota for Latah county is 9;
ages from 10 to 35.
The government is calling for
$4,000 young women to join the Uni
ted States Student Nurse Reserve
and hold themselves in readiness to
train for service as nurses.
The war is creating an unprece-
dented demand for trained nurses.
Only those who. have taken the full
training course are eligible for service
with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses en-
rolled for the full training course CT
from two to three years. Every
United States Student Nurse Reserve
is releasing a nurse for service at
the front and swelling the home army
which we must rely on to act as our
second line of hospital defense Upon
the health of the American people
will depend the spirit of their fight
ing forces.
Age-The call is for women be-
tween the ages of nineteen and thirty
five. (
Qualifications Intelligent, respon-
sible women of good education and
sound health are wanted-the pick
of the country. A college education
is a valuable asset, and many hos
pitfalls will give credit for it. Credit
will also be given for special scien-
tific equipment or for preliminary
training in nursing, such as that
given in special courses now being
conducted by various colleges and
schools. Some schools, on the other
hand, do not even require a full high
school education.
Observation-Disclosures will be given
an opportunity to enroll in the Uni
ted States Student Nurse Reserve in
any one of three ways:
% AS engaging to hold themselves
IN readiness until April 1, 1919, to
accept assignments to nurses train
ng schools. These women will be !
sent to the schools as fast as vacan-
les occur. Those of superior qualifi-
ations will be given preference, and :
t is, of course, possible that not
veryone who enrolls will be accepted.
(2) As desiring to become candi-
ates for the Army Nursing School
gently established by authority of
he War. Department, with branch 4
chools in selected military hospitals. c
(3) AS engaging to hold themselves G
l readiness until April 1, 1919, to Il
ccept assignments to either civil Il
IN training school or the Army Nurs- Il
,g school. Those who so enroll will h
. called where the first need arises. Ia
he Government hopes that major st
y of those who enroll will thus put d
own their names for both. g

quency of accidents at aviation training
camps, are contemplating investigation to
determine whether they may be ascribed to
abnormal influences. The suspicion has
arisen that enemy agents might have tam
pered with machines to discourage recruit
ing in the aviation section, but no facts
have yet been found to sustain the belief.
The acting chief signal corps officer has
issued a statement in which he says that
distressing though recent fatalities in the
aviation section of the signal corps have
been, the percentage of casualties among
our aviators is very low, considering the in
crease in the number of men flying each
day. The aviators at the signal corps
training schools are averaging about 1 roc
hours of flying day, which makes dis
lance of 100000 miles flown each day.
equal to four trips around the earth.
Considering this amount of flying, the
percentage of fatal accidents is remarkably
low.

ANOTHER FIRE co.
MAY Be MOTORIZED

"Pewee," "Rube," and "Doc," the
three horses of the fire department,
are offered for trade by the commits
sioners, three-quarter ton chassis
being desired, the intentions of the
commissioners being to motorize an
other company of the fire department.
It is planned to get an acceptable
and durable chassis and place a body
on it, in which may be stored all
necessary fire equipment. This will
enable the department to get to fires
quicker and will also do away with
the necessity of feeding at least three
horses of the department.
The commissioners are asking for
bids on the above basis. The three
horses have been used for some time
in the department, but as the city is
developing, and the water mains are
being extended to all sections and
limits of the city, it requires bet
ter equipped department. The use of
a durable chassis, which will carry
equipment in hurry, will be saving
several ways, it is figured, not the
least of which vii. be the feed of three
horses. The latter are now at the
Spring street fire headquarters. and
those interested may see them at that
place. Bids will be opened on Mon
day of the next week, and are adj
vertised today.

UNSUITABLE SHIPS

Reduction of cargo space and lack OF
time necessary for construction, 1t IS be-
lieved, will initiate greatly against the
general adoption of scheme proposed by
William T. Donnelly to make transports
unsuitable by torpedoes through honey
combing the interior of vessels with air
tight and watertight compartments.
The Naval Consulting Board met re-
Gently to discuss the feasibility of the pro-
ject with special reference to experiments
made on the Lucia, in which Pensacolians
were specially interested, as the Austrian
steamship was informed in this port for
some months.
Mr.. Saunders, vice-chairman of the
board, announced some days ago in New
York that the Lucia experiments had
a different view.
While it is known that there are means
of making ships unsuitable, it is claimed
that the amount of time that the general
adoption of such scheme would entail, as
we'll as the fact that it would greatly re-
duce cargo space, both of which are vital
factors in winning the war, make these i'm
practical for the present, at least
But to the 1ayman it would seem that,
even if it takes longer to build an unsink
able ship, and its capacity as a cargo car
rier is greatly reduced, it might be sound
policy to build at least a few of these yes
sels and give them try-out. One unsink-
able ship might prove of tremendous value,
and half dozen might go far towards
winning the war.

The Spectator
A BOGUS COUNT.

The world keeps pace with itself
IS shown by the arrest of Count Ed
mond de Castlliot, ~Suecial Messenger
of His Majesty Alphonso II, King of
Spain to the banking house Of j. P.
Morgan and Company"
That the count was a fake is inter
esting, that he nearly duped one OF the
largest banking houses in the coun-
try is more interesting still. but when
a fake count nearly duped one Of
the largest banks for $4,000, 900 then
we sit up and take notice, for even
while we are spending s45,0oo,G00 >
day in the war. we still retain our abil-
ity of judging events by pecuniary
standards.
More important that the discovery
of an impostor is the revelation of
the stand taken by the State Depart
mcnt when consulted about the loan.
The bogus peer guaranteed that in
consideration of TIE loan. Spain would
innmedia teiy join the Entente Allies.
Secretary Lansing, without other facts
in his possession, and not knowing the
truth about the count, strongly urge
against the loan, setting again the Off
ciaI seal against secret diplomacy. Tru-
" it must have been disconcerting for
the count to find that his supposed
strong point proved q bar to success
full negotiations, and even though tie
episode was a farce, it shows a whole
some policy in the State Department.

BEWARE CLAIM AGENTS

William 7. McAdoo, secretary of the
treasury, has issued a warning against
claim agents who prey upon the miSfor-
tunes of the survivors Of the gallant Amer
lean soldier or seaman in the collection of
war insurance. Collection of fees for such
work has not been authorized by the treas
ury department. he says, adding that those
who charge and received compensation for
such purpose are subject 10 fine and inn
prisonment.
Mr.. McAdoos action followed the sub
mission to him of circular letter sent by a
claim agent to the father of an enlisted man
who was lost recently when an American
vessel was torpedoed by the Germans. The
agent undertook to convey the idea that
he would be able to obtain a better settle
ment from the treasury department than
that which might be obtained if the surviv-
ors did not have representative to press
their claim.
There are many fakes abroad in the land,
and none are more despicable than men
who seek to reap illegitimate benefits from
the Affections of those who have given their
sons to their country. 1t is difficult to
comprehend the depth of degradation to
which such moral pirates will sink. But
the fact remains that there is a network OF
grafters who in various ways seek to bene-
tlt themselves by the misfortunes which
have grown out of the war.
The secretary of the treasury has found
it necessary to warn the people against
sharpers, again and again, since the open
ing of hostilities, but nothing in its moral
turpitude has quite equalled this attempt
to extort money from the death rolls OF
the brave men who have fallen in the de
fenc- of their country's flag and in uphold
ing the honor of the American nation
which such men as these seek to discredit

DENOUNCE CHAMBERLAIN

At an executive meeting of the Young
Mems Democratic League, which recently
donated it's headquarters in New York
City as an army recruiting station, the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That United States Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, and some of his
Republican colleagues, by their unneces-
sary criticisms, due to partisan prejudice of
the War Department, have weakened the
power of the American people and given
aid and comfort to the enemy;
Therefore be it further resolved that the
Young Mems Democratic League of New
York strongly condemns such unwarranted
utterances on the part Of United States
Senator Chamberlain as unpatriotic and
un-American and an insult to every loyal
American who is doing his bit" not by
words but "by action"
All over the country a great wave of in
dignation has set in, which is showing it
self in condemnation of those Congress
men, interests and private individuals, who
are seeking to discredit the government by
ill-considered criticism and unwarranted
condemnation. By Just what subtlety of
reasoning, these dsloyal members of the
United States Congress arrogate unto
themselves the right to misrepresent the
people of their states by traducing the of
hcials of their government and bringing
into disrepute the leaders of the nation, it
IS difficult to surnise.
But it is safe to say that there will be
considerably less of this jingoism, as it is
brought home to the members of Congress
that the country as a whole is bitterly op-
posed to such tactics as have been used in
the legislative halls of the nation during
the last few weeks.
In the light of recent events, it would
appear that the men who are supposed to
represent the people of certain sections of
the country are, in fact, many of them,
blind or ignorant as to uAt what their
constituents expect of them. The Con-
gress of the United States should be awak-
ened to the fact that they are expected to
work, no shirk, act not talk, during these
times of serious responsibilities.
Anyone who has ever attended the ses-
sions of Congress must have had his re-
spect more or less lowered for those who
are supposed to guide the ship of state.
To hear the roll, and see the *whipperin''
endeavor to scourge men to their duties at
Washington, would be an amusing thing,
were it not at this time, so hazardous to
the nation
Every voter in the country should be in
terested in what Congress is doing, should
keep in touch with the legislative halls If
you are loyal American, write to your
Congressman and instruct him as to his
duties to the government. as your repre-
sentative, if you find him lax in his duties
1t is time that the men of the United
States Congress were impressed with their
duties to the nation and with the fact that
in the discharge of these obligations, they
are representing not themselves and their
private opinions but the sentiments and
interests of the voters Of which have placed
them where they are.

RAY FARMER LOST
LIFE UNDER SLEIGH
HEAVY LOAD OF OATS OVER
TURNED PINIONING PAUL
SORENSON TO GROUND

Ray, Feb. 6.-Paul Sorenson liv-
ing several miles from this place
was killed under load of oats which
overturned covering him so that he
smothered in the grain. His brother
who was with him at the time, was
quite badly hurt and lrought to this
place for medical treatment.
Meager reports state that the un-
fortunate man started for home with
large grain tank full of oats, and
while on the road his sled broke down.
With a brother and brother-in-law,
he secured another tank and after
unloading the grain from one sled to
the other, started homeward. Fear
ing the sleigh would dverturn two of
the boys tried to brace it up over
s]anting strip of road but were unable
to do so and were caught beneath the
overturned sled with the result that
one was killed and the other severely
injured.
