KENTUCKY MUST FURNISH
100 STUDENT NURSES
Many of KcntuCky'S Young Women
Are Called Upon TO Serve ms
Army Nurses.

Observation-Disclosures quota for
the United States student nurses re-
serve is 730 nurses, ACCORDING to an
announcement just made by the Wo-
mems Committee of the Council of
National Defense. Kentucky has the
sixteenth largest quota to raise in the
list of forty-eight States and the Dis
trict of Columbia. The enrolment of
the reserve will begin on July 20 and
young women between the ages of 10
and 35 will be accepted.
1t is the prime purpose of the cam
paign to fill the serious gaps in the
hospitals of the country caused by
the departure of so many American
nurses for overseas service. Nurses
for service in Europe must have two
or three years training, and it is
urged that women enlisting in the
student nurse reserve, while render
ing an invaluable service in taking
the places of the nurses "over there"
at the same time will be preparing
themselves to join the worthy work
on foreign fields if the war continues
for several years.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK

Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of Maysyille PeOeple.

proof of their effectiveness.

suffered from an attack of kidney
trouble that had lasted for a long
time. had dull, constant ache in
the small of my back and the pains
were often sharp. l was also dizzy
and felt tired and langrid. Two boxes

Maysvllle people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your

For year the United States Gov
eminent cameramen have been busy
! registering the activities of our SOL
der and sailor boys on thousands OF
feet of motion picture film.
AS a result, the people of Maysville
will have the first chance on Satur-
day, July Goth, at the Washington and
Gem to see what has been done by our
boys up to date over here and over
there.
"Pershing's Crusaders" is the title
of this first official government fea-
ture film of the war and it really con-
stitutes a motion picture history of
our first year at war.
A successful effort has been made
10 picture the governments handling
of the gigantic task of preparation for
war. The recruiting of our army,
the building Of huge cantonments, the
clothing and feeding Of our troops,
the making of arms to equip them, the
building of enormous ship yards and
the rapidity with which ships are be-
ing built and launched.
You will see our boys in training,
fleets of acroplanes in digging flight,
our great floating fortresses on vigil
ant guard. our swift destroyers
searching the sea for the hated Ger
man periscope.
The greater part of the picture
shows our boys-maybe your boys-in
France. 1t follows them along the
long road to the front. 1t shows the
vast stores of munitions and supplies
flowing like rivers through the quaint
French villages up to the front line
trenches. 1t depicts the first Ameri-
can field gun to throw a shell into the
German trenches, the first American
troops entering and occupying a first
line trench, the first batch of German
prisoners taken by our soldiers, the
first baptism before battle.
Secretary of War Baker is seen on
his first tour of inspection in France,
examining the great guns, the aero
plane squadrons and the American
boys who man them. General Perish
ing and staff accompanies him in his
visits to the camps of our "Crusad-
ers."
1t is picture every mother sister
or sweetheart of a soldier should see.
1t is better than a letter from the
boys over there for at the Washington
and Gem you can see him actually at
the grim business and the light-heart-
ed play of war.

uted by the First National Exhibitors

Amundsen Leaves
For Dash to Pole
Plans to Complete Last Stage
Of His Journey In
An Airplane

CHRISTIANIA, June 28.-Roald AM
undsen's ship Maude, in which the
famous explorer will attempt to reach
the North Pole, left Christiania to-day
for the North. Captain Amundsen will
board the vessel when she reaches
Tromsoe.
Before he left for Tromsoe Amund-
sen received cable message from Pres
ident Wilson, through Secretary of
State Lansing, extending to the ex-
plorer his best wishes.
Captain Roald ,Amundsen plans to
follow the Siberian coast eastward from
North Cape. He is particularly familiar
with this region Of the Arctic, having
in 1906 discovered the Northwest Pas
sage, for which he was decorated by
the Emperor Of Germany. He built the
ship Maude after new and unique de-
sign. The ship is so constructed that no
point on her hull will present the con-
vex surface Of an arc to the pressure
of ice. Crude oil will be used as fuel,
and Captain Amundsen hopes to make
the greater portion of the Northern
trip by sail. In addition to his other
equipment, Captain. Amundsen's ship
carries two airplanes, in which the ex-
plorer may complete his journey to the
pole.
Captain Amundsen last October re-
turned the decorations he had received
from the German Empero as "per-
sonal protest against the German mur-
der of peaceful Norwegian sailors in

Methodist leaders from all parts Of

Urges Zone System
AS a Substitute for
Raise in Car Fares
County Clerk Schneider l.
Sponsor for Plan to Make
Long Trips Cost More

County Clerk William F. Schneider
has sent letter to Mayor Hylan and
President Shonts of the Interborough
bearing on the question Of raising fares
on the traction lines. Instead of max
ing a straight six-cent fare, Mr..
Schneider suggests the zone system,
which provides for an increased fare
Tor long trips.
"1t is no doubt true that ride from
the Battery to Harlem pays the sub
way lines a fair profit at the present
rate" said the County Clerk, Aand it
IS equally true that the ride from Van
oortlandt station to Flatbush Avenue,
Brooklyn, is dead loss to the COM
pany. We should bear in mind that
the railroad companies are allowed
three cents q mile, and for the above
ride they could charge about 40 cents,
while the city-built subways charge
only five cents for vastly better service.
Every one comedies that the wages
OF traction employees must be increased,
and 1T seems equally true that present
fares will not permit such increases.
There also must be taken into con-
sideration the economic status of those
who pay the employees, namely, the
users of the traction lines, and we
must, in justice to all, approach this
question with an angle Of vision taking
in both sides. With this in mind, l am
suggesting that before deciding upon
q general increase of six cents for all
rides, would it not be advisable to
first consider whethet it is not feasible
to work out a plan of zone charges,
thereby bringing up the rides showing
a loss to profit rides. I am sure the
traffic experts could devise plan suf-
ficiently elastic to prevent delays and
comprehensive enough to meet war
conditions by fair wage increases and
other expenses without adding any ad-
ditional burden on those for whose use
the lines were originally built, the citi-
zens of New York City"
The petition of the New York Rail-
ways Company to the Board of Esti-
mate asking that the city authorities
leave the question of raising fares en-
tirely in the hands of the Public Ser
vice Commission was referred by the
board to the committee on franchises
yesterday without comment.

Message to Pittsburgh Con-
vention Expresses Graft
tude for Aid Rendered

PITTSBURGH, June 2S.-Greetings
from the first Jewish government in
Palestine for 1000 years have been re-
ceived by the zionists in convention
here. The message was sent by cable
from Jerusalem by DR.. Chain Weiz-
mann, head Of the Jewish Administers
tive Commission, which is functoning
in that city with the sanction and CO.
operation of British authorities. After
expressing gratitude for the help given
by American Zionists, DR.. Weizmann
continues:
"The work of the commission ad-
vances the friendship and deep SYM
pathy of his majesty's government
and of the British administration Of
liberated Judaa. who have allowed us
to travel good distance along the road
marked out by the great declaration.
To their support and advice are due
our increasingly friendly and harmoni-
GUS relations with the great Arab ma
tion, with whom we wish to work in
peace, harmony and understanding.
The assistance Of the British authori-
ties has enabled the commission to
bring measure Of material relief to
the afflicted poor of the jewish popula-
tion of Jerusalem, Jaffa and Hebron,
and to lay foundations of order and
organization in the chaos and confu-
sion left by the Turk. But before our
work can be completed every Jew who
believes in the sacredness Of our cause
and in the fulflment of our hopes
must redouble his efforts and increase
his sacrifice on the altar Of the Jew
ish nation.
Despite the great courage of the
population, the havoc wrought by the
war has left the colonies in serious
economic condition. Animals, machin-
cry and materials requisitioned by the
Turks have prevented adequate crops
and have loaded the colonists with
debt. The Jewish people would be
guilty of crime if it allowed the
pioneers to suffer irreparable loss
through want of kindly help and there
by endanger the whole future. which
must be built on existing foundations.
1t will be immcasurably more difficult
if these foundations are not immedi-
ately consolidated. Large sums Of
