Military Rank for Medical Women
DIR. Gertrude A. Walker in a very
Interesting article written on the
work done by the Medical Women's
National Association in the war and
printed in the New York Evening
Post proves conclusively that with
holding rank from the medical women
employed in military. and semi-military
positions certainly initiates against
their usefulness.

trance of the. United States into the

fore. to seek some way to serve. to
find the best means to make herself
useful and profitable to her country.
Women's National Association to ac-
comp1ish such organization. A war
service committee was appointed to
make census of the medical women
Of the country and to formulate q
plan for home and foreign service
which is set forth in their first re-
port. Their plan of work was natu-
rally modelled after that Of the Scot
tish women's hospitals. and that Of
the British medical women, but it was
much more comprehensive than that
OF either Of those organizations.
DR.. Louise Garrett-Anderson and
her group. rejected by her own gov
ernment in the early days of the
war, were a year later ordered back
to England to take charge of the
a military hospital of 500 beds. That
group of women now run the great
hospital. The ony man on the pay
rolls is a ohoreman. who keeps the
basement clean-a position which, the
women laughingly assert, they could
find no woman stupid enough to fill.
While at first the Red Cross did not
view favorably the plan of the Ameri-
can Womens Hospitals to establish a
chain of hospitals in the devastated
countries Of Europe. it has now
changed its attitude in this respect
and has given them the privilege Of
establishing hospitals on the other
side. In fact, affliation of the Ameri-
can Women's Hospitals with the
American Red Cross is now complete.
The first hospital. one Of twenty
Ave beds. with staff of fifteen
women. is about to be established
for France. This hospital will be
located in the fAisne district and Will

mittee for DEVASTATED France; 1t will

THE ANNIVERSARY OF GERMANY'S
PORTENDED DEFEAT.

This is the anniversary of the event
which sealed Germany's fate in the pres
ent war. 1t is the anniversary of the
sinking of the Lusitania, one of the most
atrocious acts ever committed by ma
tion supposed to belong to the regime of
civilization, When Germany sent the
torpedo against the great steamship it
delivered the boomerang which has now
come back to her and which is coming
back with ever increasing force. To be
sure, the event was not Immediately fol-
lowed by war; nor could it perhaps be
taken as a real casus beli because the
Lusitania was not an American ship but
was owned by British company whose
vessels ply between American and Brit
ish ports. Yet American citizens-over
100 of them--were on the Lusitana and
were lost in the sinking of the great yes
sci. So, while the submarine attack on
the Lusitania was not the real cause of
States and Germany it nevertheless was
the event which shaped the sentiment of
the American people. which turned them
in horror against the German side and
which cemeneted loyalty to the allies.
Other events followed which confirmed
the wisdom of that decision of senti-
ment, events which were directed ex
pressly against the United States and
the American people and which eventual

but long before those succeeding events
and much before the formal declaration
Of war year ago the minds Of the great
majority Of the American people were
made up. They could not side with Ger
many in sentiment and in sympathy no 4

had stamped herself with the brand of

Among those to whom should go a
part of the credit for the success of the
third Liberty loan are the bank officials
who worked hard that the benefits of
the government proposal might be set be-
fore the people of their districts This
work was largely voluntary and was
done without expectation of recompense
on the part of the officials of the various
institutions. Nevertheless there is an
incidental gain to such as participated in
the work because of the belief of the
general public in their patriotic devotion
te the government. The banks have in.
defnably been drawn closer to the gov.
eminent, in the minds of great many
people; and that, we believe, is likely to
prove Of incaIculsble benefit to the banks
in the long run.

A good deal of the element Of surprise
has been eliminated from the German Of
fensive operations on the western war
front Therefore, their offensive loses a
large part of its effectiveness at the very
outset of the renewed drive. When the
lines were fixed on March 20 as they
had been established for approximately a
year it was a very doubtful proposition
where the Germans would strike, for it
was a foregone conclusion that they
would be forced to strike somewhere be-
fore the great American reinforoements
should arrive, and the defending armies
were kept on the qui vive to determine
where the great reserve strength of the
enemy had been concentrated for the SUI
preme effort Now that the blow has
been struck and the enemy has pene
trated to a considerable extent into the
allies line it is no longer of much I'M
certainty where the drive will be con.
tinued. 1t will either be in the places
where blows already have fallen or in
the territory between them. Therefore,
the allies ought to be more prepared toI
meet the renewed offensive.
