WOMEN ARE URGED
TO train As NURSES
Needs of Our Army and Navy
Must Be Met to Utmost
Extent.

''In the United States today is found
a large proportion of the available
nursing service of the world. Our
allies in this war are looking to us to
supplement their nursing service. If
the women of America fail to realize
their duty at this time the American
men who have been called upon to
offer their lives for their country may
suffer accordingly"
This was statement recently made
by Miss Jane A. Delano, director of
the American Red Cross nursing serv-
ice.
eff this war goes on we shall be COM
PEELED to extract aid to the last frac-
ton Of trained nursing material avail
able in the United States" said Miss
DelanO. ''The men on the fighting
fronts must be nursed back to health.
They are relying in large measure
upon the American nurses for this
service; the nurses must not fail
them.
''The problem confronting us is to
meet to the utmost extent, with the
trained nursing personnel available in
the United States, the needs Of our
army and navy and the armies of our
allies, protecting as best we may the
welfare of our civilian population.
Several thousand American nurses
are now in France assigned to duty
in the various branches of the military
service and almost as many more are
needed for our own cantOnment hos
pitfalls. If we are to continue to meet
the demands made upon US, the women
of the country must be willing to ac-
cept equal sacrifices with the men. The
public, too, must be willing to sacri-
fee the service of nurses who are re.
quired for military purposes.
For many years to come, the de-
mand for women trained for nursing,
including woman welfare work and
health service, will increase tremend-
ously, and to meet this need women
of ability and education can do no bet
ter than to take seriously the work of
training as nurses believing that they
are not only qualifying themselves for
most important service on the compile
ton of their course, but that even dur
ing the period of training they are
helping to solve the nursing problems
confronting u.s."

Eastern manufacturers will have to
turn to Kansas City and the middle
West for their supply of sulphuric
acid during the war. Prof. Erasmus
HaWorth, dean of the Mining school,
has made a survey OF reports of pro
ducers in various portions of the coun-
try, and finds that the West VIII soon
be depended upon entirely for the sup
ply of sulphur and sulphuric acid.
The main supply of this acid VIII
come from the zinc district around
Baxter Springs, Kan, anG Miami,
Okla, and in part around the Joplin
CIo.) zinc district. The Joplin dis
trict was always known as one of the
largest zinc fields in America, but the
discovery of the field around Baxter
Springs, the extent of which is un-
known, makes it the largest in the
world. With this field being properly
developed the output of zine viii be
enormous, and as this zinc is smelted
the sulphur can be collected from the
gases, making a supply of sulphur for
sulphuric acid that viii more than
meet the demands in the United States
during the war.
NO New Process Necessary
At the present time only about 10
per cent Of the sulphur is saved at
these smelters. To save the entire
supply no new process or invention is
necessary, as the process has been in
use in some places for 80 years. The
United Zinc and Chemical company
of Kansas is already one of the larg-
est sulphuric acid producers in the
Missouri valley. This company uses
the ores in the Joplin district. With
the eastern concerns closed on account
of the high cost of transporting min
erals to the East, the western firms
will enlarge their smelters and amply
supply the entire United States, Pro
fessor Haworth points out.
The question of adequate sulphuric
Of the country at the recent conven-
ton of the American Institute of Min
ing Engineers in st. Louis. The east
ern companies reported that the United
States was threatened with a short
age of sulphuric acid, since the sup
ply of pyrite, which had been import
ed, was cut off. Biologists in the West
and South are now asking the eastern
chemists and manufacturing compa-
nies to turn to the West for the sup
ply. Sulphur is being mined in Louisi-
ana and Texas in vast quantities now
as fast as the market will consume it.
Near the mouth of the Brazos river,
in Texas, sulphur is in high piles
awaiting transportation.

STARVED TOTS Cared
FOR BY RED Cross
Story of Tragedy and PataOs in
Struggle Of Child Life in the
War Arena.

A cablegram received at the head
quarters of the American Red Cross in
Washington brought another human in
terest story Of tragedy and pathos in
the child life of the French and Bel
gian war areas.
"SiX hundred and fifty underfed chill
dren, travel-worn after three days in a
closed train coming from Belgian prov
inces, says the cablegram, crossed
the frontier last night and reached
Evian at dawn. The morning blare of
French trumpets met the children
who, some too young to know their age,
had Travelled mOtherless and unac-
companied. They poured into the street
crying Viye Ia France and Tive ia
Belgique, shaking hands with every
bystander
"Trumpeters, like six Pied Pipers of
Hamelin, led the dancing, shouting
throng to the casino-all except a few
sick children who were carried in
American Red Cross ambulances. At
the casino all received food flags
were distributed and songs were sung.
Welcoming words were spoken by the
mayor. Even the small children knew
the words of 'Brabanconne' and the
'MarseiIlaise,' but some of them were
so tired that they slept right through
the music.
''NeXt came baths, examination by
an American Red Cross doctor; and
then lunch and sleep. Tomorrow these
children start for Longlandier, where
the American Red Cross will house
thousands of them-some orphans, 9TH
ers pretubercular or needing better
nOurishment than was possible under
the German rule from which they had
come.
"One little girl in the throng disem-
barking at Evian clutched four franc
pieces in pudgy fist. What are you
going to do with them? she was asked.
Buy paper to write to mamma, was
the reply"
Another cablegram received at Red
Cross headquarters says that in a
speech to the last trainload Of repat-
ries, the mayor of Eyian called par
ticular attention to their gratitude to
the American Red Cross for the splen-
did work it is doing in hospital care of
sick children. The speech was instant

school; for while he was the son Of
poor farmer, she was the daughter
Of q shopkeeper in the town, and,
moreover, she was the prettiest girl
in the locality. Prosperous youths from
the surrounding villages paid court to
her; the farmer boy had never dared
to aspire to her hand.
Then the war came, and the farmer
put on his uniform, took up his rifle
and went to the front. He was wound
ed three times, but each time was able
to go back. Then, at the Aisne, in
the summer of 1916, he was mutilated
by a hand grenade when on a night
raiding party headed for the German
lines. He lay in No Mans Land for %
hours, until the following night, when
his comrades crept out to the shell hole
just in front of the enemy barbed wire
entanglements where he lay, and car
ried him back to the French lines.
Surprised the Surgeons.
He lived through it, to the surprise
of the surgeons who attended him.
News of his mutilation reached his
home town, and a few weeks ago he
received q letter from Mile Marguerite
Lavenue, just twenty years old and
the belle Of the village, telling him
that she had heard of his misfortune,
that his duty for France was finished,
but that hers had just begun, if ne
would consent to marry her
Sergeant Georges Roy, himself only
twenty-three, was stunned at the pro-
posal. He could not believe lit was true
until she came to Paris, to the great
hospital located in The Grand Palais
on the Champs Elysees, and told him
she meant it, They were married soon
afJervard in the church of ST. Pierre
de ChalEot, and then took a honey
moon trip to the south Of France.
George EassIer, the champagne man
ufacturer. and Mrs. Valentine Webster,
widow OF an English officer killed early
in the war, are carrying on relief work
for blinded French. Belgian and Brit
ish soldiers. And it is from their fund
that Sergeant Roy and his bride went
on their honeymoon And from the
same fund Mr.. Kessler has purchased
a home in Normandy for the blind,
armless soldier and his bride. They
are going down to the country in
few days
Mr.. Kessler and Mrs. Webster are
going to continue to look after the
couple and already Roy has been grant
ed a pension of 1900 francs a year.
But there are 5000 other blinded
Frenchmen who must be looked after,

Germany Considers Training to Match
Boys Military Service.
Plans for general conScriptiOn of
women after the war are being made
in Germany, and there is a general
feeling that girls, as well as boys,
will be compelled TO undergo q regular
period Of training corresponding TO
the German youths service in the
army. The service proposed for girls
is not military but civil. 1t is pro-
posed that all women should, prefer
ably at the age of seventeen, be taken
from their homes and compulsorily
trained" either in a profession,
trade or in household duties.
The characteristic German division
between rich and poor is maintained
in the project. Girls of the upper
classes are to be trained in special
institutions; poor girls win so TO fac
