AMERICAN NURSES.

The call just issued by officers of the surgeon
generals office, the American Red Cross and
other related bodies fer $4,000 student nurses
for training in American hospitals tells of the
heavy draft already made by the war on one
of the vitality important professions in which
women must always take precedence.
With 100000 American soldiers in France
and an unlimited number to follow, this CALL
while primarily to fill the depleted ranks in the
country's reserves at home may be rightly re-
garded as part of the preparations of this ma
ton to fight the war to successful finish.
The spirit of the American fighters abroad
is typicaly exemplifed by the announcement of
Secretary Baker that they want no 'rear guard
assignments, as also by scarcely disguised IN
tention on their part of rechristening that por-
ton of hotly debated territory now known as No
Mans Land so that it shall hereafter bear the
more fitting title of Yankee Land" Mingled
with the apparent lightness Of this proposal is
character of grim determination which will
make itself manifest in deeds. But these deeds
will exact the inevitable penalty, which will also
be accepted in that same mingled spirit of light
ness and seriousness that goes far toward MAX
ing the American youth a puzzle even to him
self.
Every American woman who goes to be a
nurse under the call now issued understands this
spirit. In very real sense she is complement
tary to it. Her part in the coming struggle IS
equally Defined and she will meet it to the full
Neither poison gas nor attacks on land hospitals
or hospital ships will stay the new army. In the
hour of the country's peril 'the women have al
ways been found wholly single-minded. Who ever
heard of conscientious objector" among them
No distinctions of class or caste remain in the
supreme crisis.
While it is indicated that the new contingent
will go into somewhat lengthy course of train
ing and that the immediate purpose is to fill the
gaps left in the reserves at home, this may not
work out altogether in accordance with the
schedule. They will learn rapidly. The demand
for overseas service will increase. And the same
antipathy to rear guard service which now
marks the American fighters will be found
among the American nurses.

SUSTAINING sIDE-IssUES.

1t has been matter of genuine concern to
Whole-hearted patriots to see the disposition in
some citizens to persist in disregarding the de-
lnands of the time and attempt to maintain the
original order of interests, without permitting
suspension here and there of interests which
tend to distract the proper attention from the
prime questions of the day. It is condition
which has been in evidence the country over to
a certain extent, a condition which has applied
to business, to pleasures, and to politics.
In these times it is both the popular thing
and the proper thing to order affairs, in so far
as it is practicable, with the wishes of the Ad
.ninistration where are involved those interests
which contribute to the national welfare I'm
derstanding the desire of the people, the Presi-
dent not many weeks ago took occasion to say
that, in his opinion. the conditions demanded
that politics be adjourned, meaning thereby the
elimination Of partisan campaigns wherever it
might be practicable. Following out the SUCCESS
ton several states proposed either to eliminate
campaigns entirely or to limit them to the larg-
er Offices, and West Virginia fell into the latter
: class It will be recalled that the Democratic
State Committee proposed to the Republican
Committee that the present. representation in
the lower house be left undisturbed; but the Re-
pubicans saw fit to decline the truce thereby
assuring contests.
On Saturday the two large local parties at
tempted to reach similar agreement. There
was evidence before the meetings that an agree
ment might be reached, and the Democrats did
vote to accept an arrangement whereby the four
important offices were to be divided. The Re-
publicans again saw fit to decline the offer and
thereby assured the local campaign.
The matter of the offices, it seems to us, is
relatively unimportant, or even the distrbu-
ton of the Offices. The promptings of patriot
ism, the desire to work in harmony with the
request Of the President, the desire to clear
away every distraction from the war program
were responsible in the first place for the COM
promise proposal, and these same motives led
party. Cooperation with the Government is a
demand of the day, and it is demand which
reaches down to the smallest of elections and
undertakings. Republicans have been loud in
their claims that theirs has been hearty and
a consistent support of Administration war
nleasures,-a support which the country was in
z mood to have, to be sure. The elimination of
side-issues, particularly those which draw away
from the war program the attention of the peo-
pie, is not only an Administration plea but is
a most reasonable and logical attitude on the
part of patriotic people. The injection of side
Issues, or the persistence in maintaining inter-
ests which m ght well be omitted during these
times, is not destined, we believe, to receive
much popular support We are thoroughly con-
WINGED that it ought not to get support.

Wilson, the leader of democracy all over
the world, not only special attention was
given to Russia, but a particularly cor

These feelings are reciprocated. They
have their origin in the very foundation
,of the physical and moral realm.
America and Russia are the only two ma
tions that possess sufficient land for their
internal development. They have an
ample amount of fertile soil and natural
resources. The populations of both are
eminently democratic. The United States
