INFLUENZA CALLS
FOR MORE NURSES
SITUATION IN MOSCOW WORSE
THAN SEVERAL DAYS AGO
NURSES ARE NEEDED

Can you nurse? Will you nurse
That is the question which every
conscientious woman in Moscow is in
vited to ask herself at once. Will it
be possible for you to devote the next
few days or even part of them to
the task of nursing some new cases
of influenza? If you can make a
favorable answer to this urgent ap-
peal for volunteer nurses, notify Mrs.
E. T. Baker, Telephone 243, at once.
You are needed. And you are badly
needed. Unless some help is forth
coming Immediately there is grave
danger that the influenza situation
will again be serious menace to the
health of the community.
To those in charge of the nursing
problem for the civilian population, it
does not appear that the disease has
by any means been stamped out.
There are a number of families where
deaths will surely occur unless nurses
can be furnished. In one family eight
are down with the disease. If these
patients have to get up to wait on
themselves or on other members of
the family, cases which are now mild
will surely be changed into dangerous
onAo.
Mrs. William Hunter, who has been
working tirelessly for the past few
days to obtain nurses for influenza
cases, stated last night that she was
at the end Of her resources and had
not been able to find volunteers who
would help out the families now SO
much in need of assistance. eff we
can get this help and get it righs
away" said Mrs. Hunter, 1--WE can
reasonably hope to save the lives of
all the patients. But if they do not
expect anything else than fatalities.
The crisis so far as the nursing prob
lem is concerned has not passed in
Moscow, and if any woman can re-
spond to this appeal to meet public !

Of the people at large as well as of

lies who are down with the disease"
It is not necessary that the women
have a nurse provided, we can hardly

Some Monster Corn.

The largest ear of corn ever seen
in Moscow, it is claimed, was brought
here from Kendrick yesterday by A.
H. Oversmith. The corn was raised
by Jack Bailey, well known farmer.
One of the ears was brought to Mos
COW and is on exhibition in the win
dow of the editorial room Of The Star
Mirror. Mr.. Bailey-has a still larger
ear in the office Of the Kendrick
Gazette. Mr. Oversmith says we
challenge the entire northwest to
show a better ear of corn Mr..
Fletcher, county agent, says Mr..
Bailey's corn is the best he has seen
in the northwest.

with diplomas. Any practical woman
who has any skill at all at the bed
side will be very welcome in the ranks
of the volunteer nurses.
Having done her part so nobly for
the past few weeks, Moscow, it would
seem to those in charge, should not
fall down now and neglect to do her
full share of merciful work for the
benefit of those recently stricken.
1t is hoped that as soon as this
notice is read tonight a number of
women will offer themselves as
nurses to meet the impending crisis

FRENCH FRONT |s

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. June 2S.-(By the Associat- ed Press.)-The first notable activity for some time on this front occurred early this morning when the French executed a successful local operation southwest of Soissons and on the bor- derS of the forest of Villers Cotterets. Several positions whose continued pos session would have permitted the en- emy to prepare future offensive, were captured. The French attack was at dawn along a front of 5000 yards and the fighting proceeded through out the day. By late afternoon when this dispatch was filed, the French had advanced considerably, taking num- Der of prisoners and more were com ing in.

 q am informed by the recruiting service of the shipping board that 1,500 men a month are needed to meet the demands of the new merchant fleet for coal passers and firemen. Any man who can shovel coal aboard ship and does not offer himself now for such service is not doing his whole duty by the country"

 DENVER, Colo, June 23.-Al- fred Schnuttgcn, a registered en- enny alien of Greeley, Colo, wanted to return to Germany and under the name of John c. Kennedy, en- listed in the United States army as the quickest and best plan for making the trip, according to Roy o. Samson, district superintend- ent of the department of justice and B. O. Smith, special agent, who arrested Kennedy at Fort Logan today.
 The federal officials charge that Schnuttgen first altered his name to "Snedgen" but finally determ- med on "kennedy" for enlistment purposes. They accused him of having made many German Greeley and of having often ex- pressed a desire to return to Ger many.
 The officials said today they be- leved the man hoped by enisting not only to get to France and then desert to the German lines, but also to take with him military in formation of great value gained from different military camps at which he would receive training both here and abroad.
 Schnuttgen was held in jail here tonight pending further invest- gation. 1t is said he probably will be turned over to the military au$ thorities at Fort Logan for trial. False enlistment, at least, will be charged against him. This charge it was said, however, might be changed to violation of the es- pIcnage act.

SURPRISE ATTACK

 BEST OF GERMANS

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN von Hindenburg's troops east of the forest of Nieppe got nasty and unex- pected knock today when the British suddenly drove forward in a surprise attack along a front of more than three miles and hurled the startled grey coated soldiers back to an average Of l,500 yards.
 The operation was an unqualified success from it's inception and the at- tacking infantry reached all their ob jectives in remarkably short time.
 Infict Heavy Punishment
 By this thrust the British not only have greatly improved their position in this important and much contested sector, which lies just north of Mer- vile, but they inflicted heavy pun ishment on two hostile divisions that were holding the line here-the 32d division of Saxons and the 44th re- serve divisions of PruSsians.
 Large numbers of the enemy were killed in the hurricane onslaught and some 250 of the more fortunate had been collected in prisoner cages before noon.
 Attack 5000 Yards Wide
 The front Of the attack was 6,0Oo yards in length and lay approximately between VieuX Berquin on the north and Pont Tournai, which is 1000 yards northwest of Merville, on the south.
 West of Merville, the British and German lines had been damned almost up against the edge of the Nieppe for est in places. with the result that the British felt the lack of elbow room for operations. It was in order to ac- quire more leeway that today's assault was projected.
 Encounter Little Difficulty
 The objectives settled upon lay along the winding little stream known as Plate Becque, which bowed out toward the east in a semi circle back of the German lines. Prussians and Saxons were holding this zone with g series of strong machine gun posts | linked up with barbed wire. | The first stages of the river were comparatively easy.
