The government is calling for
25. 900 young women to join the
United States student reserve
and hold themselves in readiness
to train for service. Tennessee
has been asked to furnish 500 OF
that number during the enlist
ment campaign to be conducted
July 29-Aug. IL, by the woman 5
committee. Council of National
Defense, Marion county's quota
has not been set, but the local
committee will endeavor to enlist
at least a score of competent
young women in this important
branch of war service. Plans
for the campaign will be announ-
ced the latter part of this week.
The war has created an unpre-
cented demand for trainednurses.
Only those who have taken the
full training course are eligible
for service with the American
forces overseas. Such nurses
are being largely drawn from the
hospitals of this country and
their places must be filed by stu
dent nurses, it is declared. Ev
cry young woman who enrolls in
the United States student reserve
will release a nurse for service at
the front and swell the home ar
my which is to be relied upon as
the second line of hospital de-
fense.
The qualifications necessary
for enlistment in the reserve are
these: Age from 10 to 35 years.
Intelligent, responsible women of
good education and sound health
are wanted. A college education
is an asset and many hospitals
will give credit for it. Credit
will also be given for a special
scientific equipment or for pre-
liminary..training in nursing, such
as that given in special courses
at various schools and colleges
Some schools, on the other hand,
do not require a high school edu-
cation.
Women will be given an oppor-
tunity to enroll in the United
States student nurse reserve in
any one Of these three ways:
1.) As engaging to holdthem-
selves in readiness until April l, |
1919, to accept assignments to
nurses training schools. These
women will be sent to the schools
as fast as the vacancies occur. !
Those of superior qualifications
will be given preferences, and it
is, of course, possible that not
everyone who enrolls will be ac,
cepted.
(2.) AS desiring to become |.

school recently established by au-

tho~ity of the war department,
with branch schools in selected
military hospitals,
(3.) AS engaging to hold
themselves in readiness until A.
pril /, 1919. to accept assignments
to either a civiliantraining school
or the army nursing school.
Those who SO enroll will be called
where the first need arises. The
government hopes that d majori-
ty of those who enroll will thus
put down their names for both.
In addition to the governments
need there are 1879 nurses train
ing schools in the United States
whose need for student nurses is
quite as imperative as that of the
army school. Those who enroll
for these schools will be assigned
as vacancies occur.
The enrolment card will indi-
cate two classes of registrants-
preferred and deferred. The
preferred class will be those who
I are ready to accept assignments
to whatever hospital the govern
ment directs them. Those who
register preferred" will be as
signed first The deferred class
will be composed of those who
limit their pledge of service.
The student nurse gets her
board, lodging and tuition free
at practically every training
school, and in most cases re-
ceives small remuneration to
cover the cost of books and uni
forms. After graduation she
has an earning capacity of from
$100 to $500 a month. Private
duty nurses now receive an aver
age of from S100 S120 a month,
together with board while on du-
ty; institution nurses from $50 to
$3.50 a month together with board,
lodging and laundry; and pub
lie health nurses faom $100 to-
$3.50 month without mainte-
nance. There is no danger cf
the earning capacity of nurses
being lowered after the war on
account of the great number who
will then be qualified for the pro-
fession; the country will need all
the nurses that can be trained,
not only during the war, but af
ter it, especially for the recon
struction work. Even if the war
ends within three years. every
student nurse will be able to COM
plete her training and will be
needed.
This is an advertisement in the
interest of the movement to OBJ
tain 500 student nurses from Ten
nessee. For further information

BRITISH WOMEN
 MAY GET SHOES
 WITH HIGH TOPS

LONDON, July 1. = Women Of England are to have the privilege of purchasing shoes with leather tops more than inches in height for the first time in more than a year. But the Army Council has relented for only two months from June 1 and did so only then at the earnest appeal of deputation of shop keepers catering to those de handing the smartest things. Af- ter July 31 no more high shoes may be purchased for an indefinite pe- riod.
 The high style has not gripped England as it has America in re- cent months. The owners of the usual shoe stores have been little exercised by the order limiting tops to seven inches and did not display much interest when the ban was lifted. They stated that the aver age English woman, particularly at this time, wants a sensible" shoe and trade in those foot or so high will be confined to ultra fashiona- blc, lightweight productions.

Work for Results

With the assurance OF the bridge al
Forsyth across White River, progress
at the County seat and vacinity
promises new impetus. This part oi
the county has shown to the state tha,
it is willing to do its part, and it is now
up to the state to put in dollar for dol
lar and to improve roads and make
easy accsss TO this part Of the great
play grounds Of the Central West ior
people Of Springfield, Kansas City, St.
Louis and other places.
With the great drawing card that we
have here, and with its forces now Sc,
at work it will surely bring this result,
but it is also up to US here tc see that
there is on let up in our demand for this
aid, and no rest given until the most
positive assurances are given. Our
representative in the legislature DR..
G. B. Mitchell, stated in a public
meeting at Forsyth Thursday night
among other things; You are going to
get state aid, and am going to help
you" We appreciate this public en-.
couragement, and lei US all put our
shoulder to the wheel for a greater
Forsyth, for public improvements OF all
kinds, that this town and this County
may come into its OWL.

Senate Consideration Of Treaties

There is a distinction between a
secret treaty and treaty which is con.
sideTed in a secret execu i've session Of
the Senate. A secret treaty is one
which is negotiated between the chiefs
Of state without ratification being re.
qalred by anybody representative Of
the people. Such were the treaties
which were found in large numbers in
Russian archives at Pelrograd and pub.
lished so literally by the Bolsheviki
when they came into power. Treaties
made by this country are considered in
secret executive session in order that
there may be larger freedom OF com
ment and information relating to the
motives which have led the contracting
governments to conclude the agree
ment-and all treaties which the
United States makes are Immediately
published. We do not have the Sc
cret diplomacy" Of Europe, against
which President Wilson has inveighed,
though he is by no means the first nor
the most cogent critic OF the system.
Whether the consideration OF treaties
il open session would be an improve
ment is still moot question. Senator
BOrah will able to advocate his pro.
posed change in the rules olthe Senate
with yigor, because he is a vigorous
man. But the presumption is always
in favor of retaining an existing custom
unless some decided benefit will result
from change.

Books for the Soldiers

Give the books you prize the most
to the soldiers, not the ones you care
for least. Give them the book that IS
still alive. Give them your latest war
book.
These are some Of the requests be.
ing made in the national appeal ior
books for soldiers, By the American
Library Association. The books will
be received through the public Libraries.
This request is made for the reason
that in the last campaign for funds for
books a vast number Of unstable books
we're received such as text books. old
school books, even undertaker's re.
views.
The funds we're required for the
er ction Of buildings, their maintenance
and the purchase OF books oi reference.
etc., and the general public was asked
to donate fiction, short stories, etc.
So take your most priced book and
send It in.

CHAPTER VI.
"5aek OF the Line"

Our tour in the frOnt-line trench

wounded and Is bound for the base or

this way after being relieved from the

We marched eight kilOs and then

The captain gave the order TO turn
out on each side of the rOad and wait
his return. Pretty soon he came back
and told b company TO occupy billets

old stable which had previously been
occupied by cows. About four feet In
