WILL RECRUIT NURSES

Colorado must supply more nurses
to minister to the fighting forces of
the nation. Every state in the un-
ion must supply more. Not cnly will
more nurses be needed in France
but more will he needed at home.
The only way in which these needs
can be met is for more women to
take training as nurses. Training
is absolutely essential. Sick and
wounded men cannot be put into the
hands of amateurs. They must have
skilled care J
Therefore Colorado has been called
uron by the national authorities to
enlist $50 women who will enter
training in various hospitals to be-
come nurses. Mrs. Herbert M. Mum

women in industry of the Woman's

MARK A. HARRIS DIED
IN DENVER MONDAY

It becomes the unpleasant duty
OF the editor of the Observer to re-
port the death of Mark A. Harris,
for long time an attache of the
paper, which occurred in Denver
Monday morning at s o'clock. He
had been in i'll health several weeks
and was taken to Denver week
ago today and specialist was call
ed in to administer to his needs. No
hope was held out by the specialist
from the start and he said the sick
man had but few days to live.
Possessing an indomitable will pow
er, Mr.. Harris was hopeful to the
very last of evading the death sum-
mons and his last thoughts were of
what he was going to have for break
fast just as the end came. Heart
failure was ascribed as the cause of
death.
Mr.. Harris was close to 20 years
OF age and came to Colorado from
New York state over 40 years ago
Tor the benefit of his health He To-
Gated in Georgetown and for years
mined for silver, meeting with bet
ter than ordinary success. He was
reputed to be worth close to $50 900
when silver was demonetized in 1898
About 20 years ago he came to Gill
pin county and mined in Russell
Gulch. He was carpenter and
builder by profession and construct
ed some of the first buildings of
size in Georgetown. Being of a stud.
ious turn of mind and widely read.
he possessed vast store of know
ledge on practically any subject. He
was a versatile writer and his ar
ticles were freely quoted. He was
intensely American and his one wish
was to live to see the war ended
and his beloved country victorious.
Mr.. Harris had friends in numbers
IN GilIin and Clear Creek counties,
and in Denver. During his illness
these friends were insistent in their
proffer of aid, but he refused to have
his friends do anything that he
thought would in the least cause
them any trouble, maintaining shat
he was getting better right along,
when life was slowly ebbing away
He was a Mason of long standing
and knew the Masonic work as few
other men in the state.
The only relatives are a brother
IN New York. a step-son, Charles
Estelle, of Denver, a step-daughter,
Mrs. Ada V. Warriner, of Denver,
and step-son in Chicago. Services
viii be held this evening at the

WILL PUSH BILL
Overman Determined To Put
Thru Empowering Measure.
Big Fight Expected Over Wheat
Price Fixing.

Washington. April 2.-Administra-
ton leaders today started the big
push on the Overman empowering
bill in the senate.
Senator Overman, in charge of the
measure, stated as the senate opened,
that he would insist the bill. receive
the continuous consideration of the
senate until it was disposed of.
Opponents of the bill were muster
ing their forces, not to kill IL, but to
put limitations on the great powers
the president asks, just as was done in
the case of the war finance corpora
ton bill. when the seventeen specific
powers Secretary McAdoo requested
were reduced to three.
The house is expected to push thru
the s50,000,000 general housing bill
today. 1t is-designed to relieve con-
gestion in war work centers and is in
addition to the ship housing bill, ap-
propriating s50,000,000 recently
passed.
Meanwhile, conferees tackled the
question of whether the minimum
wheat price shall be increased to 81 so
and one of the hottest fights of the
session looms up on that point Adj
ministration forces are urging farm
ers, as matter of patriotism, to ask
their representatives to vote against
the increase on the ground that it will
cause boarding in this country and
break the bread line to the allies in

to representatives of the governmental
departments, other members of the d.
vision are:

George n. Peek, finished products. and
j. L. Replogle, steel.
Baruch plans to have represented
every interest that can be affected by
the war time industrial activity of the
country. By getting around the table
daily and laying the cards face up, no
one in the department will be able to
tread on the toes of others. The REQ
Cross was included partly because it
has been bidding against government
departments for surgical and medical
supplies and forcing government needs
to wait by paying higher prices. In
such a case Baruchs committee would
determine priority needs and supply
them.
Three COrnered Clash.
Just now a three cornered wrangle
between Hurley of the shipping board
and the war and navy departments,
over steel plates confronts the division.
Hurley has been battling against rep
resentatives of the other two depart
ments who have been stationed at
steel plants to take finished material
as soon as it was turned out, regard
less of the shipping boards needs. In
such cases all interests affected will
be brought together and reminded that
winning the war is the paramount OBJ
ject and that individual needs of de-
partmentS must be reconciled with the
whole governments war activities.
Where it is impossible to reach de-
cision Baruch himself will step in and
act on the theory that even tho minor
injustice nright result, that war activ-
ity must go on.
Under authority of President VIII
son, Baruch is empowered to act for
the joint benefit of all supply depart
ments in the matter of supplies, when
there is shortage of material which
entails priority decisions, or wher
factories are not turning out full pro-
ductive capacity. Speeding up deliv-
cries will be part of Baruch's job.

ANSWER DUTCH PROTEST
q. S. Will Support Legality of Seizure
by Internat ional Law.

Washington. April 1.-THE United
States will support the legality of its
seizure of Dutch shipping by quoting
Dutch and German international law
authorities.
An answer to the official Dutch pro-
test against requisitioning, is being
framed today and will use these quo
tations among other points to offset
the Dutch view of the problem.
The answer will probably be made
public before night.
Unofficially answering Hollands
objec ion to American refusal of
bunker coal for Dutch ships in our
ports, a-war trade board official said
today:
Had we furnished this coal, it
would have been more than a friendly
act, for, as the ships were loaded with
grain, they could have given Holland
a wheat supply which would have per-
mitted other supplies to go to Ger
many.
Hollands protest denies she was
under German duress, yet her protest
admits that she notified the United
States that Germany objected to the
allied American ship agreement and
hence she could not accept it,

The general plan is to rid Washing
ton of draft age officers whose places
can be filled by older men or civilians
and to give the youthful desk men
field service. IS
Some of the highest army officials
point out that it is essential to have
vast army behind the lines and that
only a comparatively small part of this
stay at home force consists of slack
ers.''
Six to twelve men are required to
supply each soldier on the line. And
there are many men here. 1t is pointed
ous, who tied to desk jobs who
would prefer outside service The:
present move is intended to rid the
army of men with secure commissions
who have sought the desk jobs as
safety first posts.

RE-ASSIGN GEN. BELL
Revoke Order Putting Him in Com
mand of Western Department.

Washington, April 2.-The war de-

J. Franklin Bell to command the
western department and to relieve
Major General Arthur Murray, has
been revoked.
General Bell was assigned temper
arily to command his old division, the
Seventy-Seventh, at Camp Upton, New
York leaving General Murray in COM
mand at San Francisco.
The order was reScinded because of
the desire of the war department to
have in command of the Seventy
seventh an officer acquainted with the
unit General Bells assignment to
Camp Upton is only temporary how
ever, and does not indicate that he
will lead the division when it goes
overseas. The army medical board,
which recently examined him, con-
ditioned it's favorable report on his
living under a strict diet schedule for
a period.
