VOICES MUST Be PLEASANT
Hospital Nurses Undergo Course OF
Training In Some Institutions to
Cultivate Refined Speech.

IF the success or failure of physi.
clan is, in some cases as least, deter.
mined by his tongue, how much more
important Is this matter of speech to
the nurse, who must be constantly with
the patient, and whose every look and
gesture are watched-targets for criti-
cism, silent or open," writes DR.. Irving
W. Voorhees, in the Nurse. 1T is said
that in some hospitals this question
of refined, pleasing speech has become
a part of the nurses course Of train
Ing, and that she is demerited for dis
regard of the principles as set forth
by her teachers. Although have no
personal knowledge of these hospitals.
it is certainly contamination deyout-
ly to be wished that every one who
comes into the sick room should know
how to speak softly and agreeably."
Doctor Voorhees, says European m.
lions realize the Importance of the
nurses voice and insist upon 1t far
more than we do. And any woman
who plans to become hospital nurse
and has not a pleasing voice already
should start at once to cultivate one.
The sick are very sensitive to voices:
the blind are especially affected by
harsh voices, SO much so that some
wealthy blind men will not permit a
person whose voice is not pleasant to
come fear them.

London, Jan. 5.-In fulfillment of a
promise to address the delegates OF
the trades unions who are now dis
cussing the question of man power
with Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of
national service, Premier Lloyd
George made statement today of the
war aims of Great Britain.
when men by the millions are call
ed upon to suffer and die, the vast
populations are being subjected to the
sufferings and privations Of a war un-
precedented in the history of the
world he said, they are entitled to
know for what cause or causes they
are making the sacrifices. Only the
clearest, greatest and justest of caus-
es could justify the continuance even
for a day of this unspeakable agony
of nations.
Clearly and Definitely.
eve ought to be able to state clear
ly and definitely not only the princi-
pies for which we are fighting, but
their definite, concrete application to
the war map of the world We have
| arrived at the most critical hour of
this terrible conflict, and before any
government takes the fateful decision
as to the conditions under which it
ought either to terminate or continue
the struggle it ought to be satisfied
that the conscience of the nation Is
behind these conditions"
Consensus of Opinion.
The premier said that during the
last few days he had taken special
pains to ascertain the view and atti-
tude of representative men of all sec
tons OF thought in the country. He
had read the statement of labor's war
aims; he had discussed war aims with
Mr.. Asquith, the former premier, and
Viscount Grey, the former foreign
secretary. Had the Nationalist lead
ers in Ireland not been engaged with
the tangled problem of Irish self gov
eminent, he would have been happy to
exchange views with them, but Mr..
Redmond, speaking in their behalf,
had made clear what his ideas are as
to the object and purpose of the war.
He had also consulted with represen-
tatives of the overseas dominions.
AS result of those discussions, he
continued, although the government
was now responsible for the actual
language he proposed there was ma
tional agreement as to the character
and purpose of the nations war aims
and peace conditions. He was speak
ing, therefore, not the mind of the
government, but the mind Of the ma.
ton and empire
Not Aggressive War;.
I'VE may begin by clearing away
some MISUNDERSTANDING" said the
premier, land stating what we are not
fighting for. We are not fighting

people. Their leaders have persuaded
them that they are fighting q war OF

self defense against league of rival
nations bent on the destruction Of
Germany. The destruction or disrup-
ton of Germany has never been war
aim with US. Most reluctantly and
quite unprepared, we were forced to
join in this war in self defense, in de-
Tense of violated law in Europe.
Aim as 10 Germany.
"The British people have never
aimed at the breaking up y, the Ger
man peoples or the disntegraton of
their state. Our wish is not to destroy
Germany's great position in the world,
but to turn her aside from schemes
of military domination to devote her
strength to the beneficent tasks of
the world.
1--WE are not fighting to destroy Aus.
tria-Hungary or to deprive Turkey OF
it's capitol or the rich lands of Asia
Minor and those lands which are pre-.
dominateIy Turkish.
I'VE are not fighting to destroy the
German constitution as a dangerous
anachronisnh Our viewpoint is that the
by Germany would he the most con-
vincng evidence that her old spirit OF
military domination had indeed died in
this war, and it would make it much
easier for us to conclude broad,
democratic peace with her, But that l.;
a question for the German people to
decide.
Wilson's Suggestion.
ut is more than year since the
President of the United States advis-
ed the belligerents by suggestion that
each side should state clearly the
aims for which they were fighting.
We replied: The central powers did
not, and they have maintained COM
plete silence as to the objects for
which they are fighting. Even on SO
crucial matter as their intention re-
garding Belgium they have declined
to give any trustworthy indication"
Referring to the announcement by
Count Czernin, the Austro-H Hungarian
foreign minister that it was not the in
tention of the Central powers to ap-
propriate forcibly any occupied terri
tories or rob of its independence any
nation which lost it's political inde-
pendence during the war, Mr.. Lloyd
George said it was obvious that any
scheme of conquest and annexation
could be perpetrated within the liter
al Interpretation CT such a pledge.
We Must Know.
1--WE must know what is meant"
said the premier, "for equality Of right
amongst nations, small as well as
great is one Of the fundamental issues
this country and her allies are fight
ing to establish"
Reparation for Belgian towns and
their inhabitants, he asserted, had
been repudiated emphatically by the

The man whose pen has traced these
lovable rhymes knows the heart Of
the soldier, and the wants Of that
heart. He knows that after the mad
ness of battle, the heart yearns for
something soothing - something
understanding of home and the
home folks, and John D. Wells means
that they shall have it. He is going
to take it to them. He realizes that
his gun carrying days are past, but
like "Old Jim Wade" he will drum
the boys along with songs of home
and home-life and songs of other
soldier boys. "

FEEDING TROOPS IS NO SMALL
 JOB NOW

CHICAGO, Feb. 14-To maintain the American army in France 100 pounds of gross tonnage day must be landed at French ports for each man, according to Captain Earl J. Zimmerman, executive officer in the depot quartcrmastcrs' department here.
 The American people have no conception of the quantity of sup plies needed for the men over there said Captain Zimmerman, nor of the difficulty in getting it to them. For example it takes 23,0O00OO pounds of frozen beef each month to feed a million soldiers"
 In explaining the food supply of the American soldiers abroad and the manner in which it must be sent, Captain Zimmerman gave a general picture of the difficulties of the urartermasters' corps in constantly r,aintaining q sufficient quantity Of food.
 According to- his statement, the men in France are on garrison ra- tion"-the same as soldiers at canton ments in this country. This ration is five pounds a man, each day. This weight, however, includes eating ut cnsils and container. For million men l50,000,000 pounds of rations a month arc required, amounting to 1000 carloads.
 IA list of the food required for a million men for 30 days would include the following:
 23,OO0000 pounds of frozen beef.
 3S,500000 pounds of flour.
 6,000000 pounds of bacon.
 100000 cans of beef.
 100000 cans corned beef
 100000 cans corncd beef hash.
 3,000,GG0 pounds of sugar.
 2,40O,000 pounds of coffee.
 972,00O pounds of butter.
 At all times, Captain Zimmerman said, 3O-day supply is maintained in France.

2.6OO PERSONS
 SIGNED ROAD PETITION
(From Fridays Daiiy)

That the citizens and taxpayers of Navapai county want the short line road built to Jerome is d foregonc conclusion.
 This matter has been hanging fire for some time. but it was left to the present administration of the Navapai County Chamber of Commerce 10 de. finitcly ascertain the number of tas- payers and citizens who desired this road built, and the amount of taxable wealth they represent. To that end, petitions were recently circulated throughout the county, with the re- suit that 2,6O0 taxpayers signed ;his petition, representing $S6,OOp,Oo worth of the taxable wealth of the county. In other words, four-fifths of the entire taxable wealth of Iavs- pai county stands behind the project.
 The original petition will be filed with tho board of supervisors, while au exact copy of the same will be sent tc the Commission of State lnStiiu- tiun>. In the Verde district, partic- ularly was great interest shown and the petitions from that district were inc first to be received by the Cham Der uf Commerce.

ROBERTSON HELD ON
 CHARGE OF IMPORTING
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Roy Robertson, accused by the oi- ficcrs of recently bringing in an auto load of whisky from Needles, was ar rested yesterday morning, and ow- ing to his inability to pony up the re- quircd $500 bail bond, is reposing m the county jail.
 Robertson, the officers say, has Lccn a persistent offender against the dry laws of the State, and has earned cutie a bit of money by running the blockade with his car loaded with bottled goods. While the Sherltt $ men failed to locate the carload ot whisky which they say Robertson brought in recently, they state that they have sufficient evidence to insure the mans conviction when his trial comes up.
 Robertson was arraigncd m the Superior court during the afternoon. tic will enter his plea on February IS. Being without funds, the court appointed Attorney J. l.. Russell t" defend him.

CHAUTAUQUAW|l[ NOT BE HELD
 THIS SUMMER
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

Prescott will have no Chautauqua this summer.
 This decision was reached at d re- cent meeting of the Chautauqua com, mittcc of the Chamber of Commerce, one of the representatives of the Chautauqua organization having been in the city this week to talk things over with the committee. In view On the fact that the nation is at war and the financial drain upon the populacc Is somewhat heavy, it was decided to dispense with the big entertainment event and let the time and financial resources Of the citizens of the coun- ty be turned in other directions.
 While it was shown that the Chautauqua movement was undoubt- ediy ono which tended toward the moral uplift of the respective com muniticS, 1t was decided that inas- much as Uncle Sam has something of :, gigantic 'uplift" movement on his hands right now, it was the duty of his ncphcws and nieccs to conserve their cncrgic for boosting the work of uplifting the kaiser from his present job of PrusSianizing the universe.
 In all probability lyccum course will be arranged for, d number of good concerts, lectures. etc, to be brought here at intervals of sevcrai weeks apart. The lyccum numbers will be furnished by the same com- pauy which provided the Chautauqua attractions in seasons past.

 In short, vcnercal diseases are here after to take their proper place as serious contagious diseases, and to be treated like smallpox, meningitis, and similar diseases. The conspiracy of silence" has been broken, and hypo- crisy and false modesty will no longer be allowed to endanger the health of soldiers and civilians in Arizona.
 City officials of Prescott yesterday evening stated that no demand had been made upon them by the State authorities for the closing of the local vice zone. This city is one of the few remaining towns in the State where the segregated district IS per mitted to operate under rigid regula- ton, although in view of the cdict Is sued by the health authorities. it will probably have to be eliminated by the first of next month along with similar districts in all parts of the State. Many spasmodic efforts have been made in the past to clamp the lid on the South Granite street bad lands, but none of them have been successful. Now that the govern mcnt has taken hand in the matter, the clements which arc opposed to the licensing system are hopeful of closing the district up for all time.
