come between Sam Childs, a negro
youth, and a military career. He was

Women who have relatives nearer
than second cousins in the army, Ii
able to overseas service, are not eligi-
bic for overseas services Of the Amer
lean Red Cross, it has been an
nounced at Topeka by Horace L. Hall,
chairman of the local chapter. Mr..
Hall made this announcement to eX-
plain why a number Of women willing
to serve as Red Cross nurses in
France have not been accepted. He
explains the Red Cross has made this
rule because the knowledge that she
has a near relative on the firing line
would tend to prey on woman's
mind, were she employed in a hos
pital at the front, and naturally would
renuer her work less efficient. This
condition has been proven through
the experience offered by the pres
ent war, to such an extent that the
Red Cross has made the rule irrevoc-
able, despite the fact that it keeps
many trained nurses from overseas
service.
The Kansas Supreme Court hung a
service flag recently for the lawyers
of the state who are now in the
army. Across the court room, just in

flag. 1t is probable that there are
more than this number actually in the
service. but the court has not been adj
vised of the names. D. A. Valentine,
clerk of the court, has prepared a
complete list of the soldier lawyers Of
the state to be printed on the regular
roll of Kansas attorneys. The list
