the Huns on every moonlight night,
but who faces the dangers OF the
front with the same disregard OF
personal safety as her brother in

school boy still studying in The

The nurses and nuring author

an affront to the nurses-at the
least, raw-but they know that as
a half measure, a mere palliative,
it cannot meet the difficulties. 1t
is valuable only as another admis-
sion that there is something wrong
somewhere.
So the Women's Committee are
renewing their demand on Com
gress for relative rank. Their bill,
Senate Bill No. 4811 and House
Bill No. 1858, has been introduced
by Senator Lewis of Illinois and
Representative Raker Of Califor-
MIA. 1t follows closely the Austral-
ian and Canadian systems and
asks the relative rank of major for
the nurse corps superintendent
%, of captain for the assistant
superintendent, directors and as
sisant directors g or 12) OF first
lieutenant for chief nurses Gas
many as there are hospitals); and
of second lieutenant for staff

they shall wear the regular in
sigma and that they shall have au-
thority only in medical, sanitary
and nursing matters in military
hospitals, next after the medical
officers Of the army.

Joint Campaign for
War Camp Activities

President Wilson has decided
that the seven recognized societies
doing welfare work among the
American soldiers at home and
overseas, shall conduct a joint
campaign for funds necessary to
carry on their work during the
coming year.
The Presidents decision was
communicated to Raymond D.
Fosdick, chairman of the commits
sion of training camp activity, who

may be applied not only in the
school room but in the rehabilia-
tion work that must follow the
war. Agriculture is one of the
fields for women's work which the
war has developed in most demo-
cratic fashion as is witnessed by
the organization of the Women's
Land Army of America which in
cludes women from all classes of
society, in the units of women
workers now established in II
states. The Women's College Of
Delaware centrally located as to
the northern and southern Atlantic
states and favored by climate with
long growing season, has strong
advantages for the teaching of
agriculture including crop produc-
ing, horticulture, bee-keeping, and
stock raising. The state expert
ment farm of 200 acres with an
able staff of instructors is within
ten minutes walk of the college.
Affiliation with Delaware State
College for men makes it possible
to introduce excellent courses in
farm management and the use of
farm machinery. Agriculture prom
ises to have an interesting develop
ment at the Women's College of
Delaware.
Miss Eleanor Rhoads, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Rhoads,
of Wilmington, will study scienti-
fic methods Of farming at the Wo-
mems College of Delaware this
year. Miss Catherine Woodman
who holds the Wilmington High
School Alumnas scholarship has
also registered for the agricultural
course at the Women's College of
Delaware. Miss Helen Bancroft of
Camden, Delaware, has completed
two years work in scientific farm
ing and anticipates returning this
fall to finish the four years course.
Miss Lillian Armor who has been
studying agriculture one year is
putting her knowledge into prac-
tice on her farm near Marshallton
this summer. Miss Ruth Clendan-
iel the first student to complete the
course in scientific farming made
a special study of animal husban-
dry. Last spring as a special prob
lem she purchased stock to be plac-
ed on her fathers farm at Ken
nedyville, Maryland, where she is
succeeding in making a good in
come. Two years ago Miss Glen
daniel was awarded a silver cup
and medal at the Devon Horse
Show in a Judging contest.

Government will Issue
War Magazine

The government will send a mes
sage to the school children every
two weeks through a 16-page maya
zine to be issued by the Committee
on Public Information. The maya
zine will be issued on the first and
fifteen of each month and its OBJ
ject will be mainly to keep the
children in touch with new WAYS
in which they can help win the
war.
The magazine will be in two sec
tions. The first will contain letters
from soldiers, hero stories from
the front and a special message
from the Treasury Department, the
Department of Agriculture, the
Red Cross, the special educational
committee of the War Department
and the Department Of Labor. The
second section will contain four de-
partments-rural schools, lower
grades, intermediate grades and
high schools. President Wilson is
expected to write a special war
message to the schoor children in
an early issue. The magazine will
be known as the National War Ser
vice Bulletin.

give conclusive notice to all that
nurses are officers and are to be
obeyed. Last but not least it will
quicken the spirit of the whole
crops.
The doctors, the dentists, the
chropodists, all have sought rank
and all but the last have obtained
it, not relative but absolute rank
and all that goes with it. Why not
the nurses? Australia, Canada,
even England can accord their
nurses the dignity of officers. Why
not America? When the American
people and their President know
| the facts, they will insist upon this
small measure of justice and pro-
lection for those who at the risk of
their lives are to mother our
wounded boys abroad. Let the club
women of America, mothers of our
armies, make this their immediate
concern; let the General Fedora
tlon of Women's Clubs committed
to this by their Biennial platform
publish the facts; let them pledge
every Senator and Representative
when he comes home ON his vaca-
tion to support this just demand.
Let them get Woodrow Wilson and
Newton D. Baker with them behind
this bill. Then the mists of con-
servation, hesitancy, ignorance and
sex antagonism will cease to cloud
the issue and darken mems minds.
Mothers and America, it is your
task to let in the light. The nurses
cause is in your hands.
Some of the army heads under
stand and agree, but unfortunately
some at the very top are tightly
bound with the painful beliefs that
a military establishment should be
exclusively masculine and that a
woman lieutenant is unthinkable,
however necessary. The women's
committees have been unremitting
in their efforts to cut Gulliver's
cords but only to see Gulliver bury
his head and, reversing the mill
tary judgment of the ages, sputter,
as blandly as is possible with a
mouth full of sand, that rank is
unnecessary for women.
After all, there is none so grudg-
ing as he who will not give.
In March, 1918, the women
sought rank from Congress. In
May, after their hearing before the
House Military Affairs Committee,
the War College, which is the ad-
viisory division of the War Depart
ment, said: Hold up your legisla-
tion-We think we can give you all
you want through a regulation" !"
The women stalled their bill and
waited for the mountain to labor.
The mouse it brought forth was
not rank but place in the table of
grades Immediately below that of
second lieutenant. The Chief of
Staff, however, to whom this re-
commentator of the War College
went for approval, thought this
too much and reduced the nurse
two grades, placing her just above
the sergeants and just below the
West Point cadets. Thus the ma
ture woman of high professional

Miss Helen Watson, graduate of

For the present the students will

A return system is being in

cation program that is being de-

lege, Columbia University, and
four years in charge of the Art De-
partment of the Connecticut State
Nromal School at New Britain,
Conn.,, will be in charge of this
work.
The Women's College of Della
ware was opened four years ago
with the purpose of working out
problems in the education of wo-
men as distinct from those involv-
ed in the education of men and to
do this so low a rate for living ex-
penses as to make it's advantages
available for every young woman
who desires them while its instruc-
tion and equipment should be of
the highest degree Of excellence.
Fifty years of higher education
for women as demonstrated by our
western coeducational universities
and our eastern colleges for wo-
men have shown that women are
capable of assimilating the same
mental calories as men. With the
change in the economic status of
women that has gradually been
taking place until it was hastened
by the war attention has been call
ed to the necessity of educating
young women to enable them to
enter some one of the ever increas-
ing number of occupations open to
them as woman's way rather than
mans way. Thus, the history
mathematics, language study, and
science of the old curriculum are
combined with the scientific study
of cookery, care of children, cloth
ing, and household management
leading to degree in home econ
omics that involves much hard
study as a lawyers degree. A sim
liar combination of parts of the
arts and science curriculum with a
study of the problems of education
and the mind of the child affords
preparation for teaching which

years the status of it's members
has never been defined. 1t has
never occurred to the army heads
that there is any need Of saying
whether the army nurse was fish,
flesh, fowl or good red herring
officer, private or hired extra. That
is it never occurred to them until
group of New York women head
ed by Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blotch
and Mrs. H. 0. Havemeyer organ
! lied The Committee to Secure Rank
for Nurses and publicly interested
that nurses should have some def
mite status and that military rank
be given them.
Not only is the nurse frequently
himiliated by the kind of treat
ment accorded her by her superiors
and interiors alike but the efficien-
cy of the whole nursing service is
impaired by the general uncertain
ty as to her position. Her author
ity to give orders is continually
disputed by the enlisted men serv-
ing as orderlies; friction and dam
, gerous delays in the execution of
orders result, affecting adversely
the welfare of wounded patients;
and the general morale of the
whole hospital is lowered by the
atmosphere of irritation, resent
ment and encouragement. The in
sigma of rank would give conclu-
sive notice to all that nurses are
officers and are to be opeyed.
The matter is wholly phycho-
logical. Soldiers are taught un-
questioning obedience to author
ity. Authority is evidenced by a
badge of rank. A nurse has no
badge. A gance at her shoulder
strap determines the private's con-
duet. He does not obey and he does
question. When the nurse refers
him to regulations and manuals
and amendments for proof of her
right to give him orders, he looks
incredulous. Quite properly this
strikes him as too inefficient, too
unmilitary to be credible. To him
one bar on a shoulder strap is
I worth two regulations in a book.
That is what he has been taught
and that is what he believes and
acts upon.
So the women, assisted by many
army men and all the nursing au-
thorities, have been saying to the
army heads: "Why try to educate
thousands of men through written
instruments when insignia are
available? Why not improve the
service and honor the nurses at
the same time? Australia and
Canada had the same problem and
solved it by giving relative rank.
Can America with the same prob
lem do less generously by her de-
voted army nurses? Relative rank
is very little to ask or give. 1t is
not commissioned. Nor will it car
ry either the pay or the power of
command incident to actual rank
of the same grade. But, shadowy
as it is, it will carry the right to
the all essential insignia and the
dignity of the name, and it will

Nation Is Relieved by
Success of Lloyd George;
Common Cause SurUiues

New York, May 10.-There is not
the least doubt that a feeling of
disquiet was excited in the United
States by the news that General
Maurice's charges might precipitate
change of government in England,
and that there is strong feeling of
relief over the fact that the change
has ben averted by the thoroughly
satisfactory vote of nearly three to
one.
The battle is still going on, the
battle that we began by calling "the
battle of Picardy," and changed to
the battle of Flanders and Picardy,"
and which we may have to call "the
battle of Europe" or "the battle of
1918" before we get through. if we
are to find any title that is adequate
to its size. 1t is the battle of Magma
Charta and the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Rights of Man
against the Dark Ages. fought out
now in one gigantic struggle; it is
four years of agony brought to a
climax. At this moment, when there
is need for the tensest concentration
against the foe, ii was deeply dis
turbing to have thrust before us the
prospect that England might be
guilty of the levity of changing COM
manders for mere party reasons. 1t
is not so, and the common cause has
escaped a peril.

Maurice's department of the war Of

evidence that the extension of the
British line was made because of
pressure eXerted by France and that
the decision was taken on the advice
of the military authorities, in agree
ment with Field Marshal Haig. the

way in the matter, although it ap-
proved of the dispositions.
When the premier left the House
of Commons he was loudly cheered.

Premier Lloyd George again
showed himself a keen political
strategist and strong political
leader for his own cause. He with
drew the cabinets plan for court
of honor to deal with the charges
of Major General Maurice, which
Andrew Bonar Law on Tuesday said
concerned the honor of the minis
ters. The premier made it clear
that adoption of former Premier
Asquiths motion for a select COM
mittee to investigate the matter
would be regarded as vote of CEN
sure which would be followed by
the governments resignation.
Mr.. Lloyd George detailed in a
burning speech his version of the
controversy which Major General
Maurice began. The debate was
brief and the premier's explanation
