Arrangements Being
Completed for Grand
Army E~ncampmeni

Portland, Ore, Aug. 6.-Arrange-
ments rapidly are being completed for
the entertainment of the veterans of
the Civil war who will attend the ma
tional .encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic for 1918,
which will be held here August -
to rs.
This will be the first time that, a
national encampment has been held
in the northwest. Approximately 49,
900 men who answered President Lin
coins call to arms are expected to be
present. They will come from every
section Of the country.
The attendance at a G. A. r. never
has been below $4,000 in the past but
the rapidly dwindling membership
roll each. year makes it unlikely that
there will be a greater attendance
than 10000. Aside from this many old
soldiers probably will find they are
unable to attempt the long transcon-
tinental trip from the Atlantic sea-
board. At one time these annual en-
campments were attended by approx
mately a quarter Of q million of~the
veteran fighters. ~
The Grand Army of the Republic
was organized al Decatur, ILL.,, in
1866. Its membership numbered $780,
900 during the first few years Of its
existence. The present average age
Of survivors is about Is years.

Urgent Appeal For
Red Cross Nurses

00E&eOH 1eneT3 GOfE0S OF IAe
United States army. Is calling for the
for Red Cross service, according to
word received last night by Miss Mae
McCulloch. chairman of the Red
Cross nursing service, IN this district.
This call Is sent out because Of the
war conditions at the present time.
and the growing need of q large num-
tber Of nurses. Whether these are to be
sent abroad at once. or sent to camps
and cantonments in this country to
take the places of nurses that are be-
ing. sent across, IL not. known.
The district, comprising ten coun-
ties in the. northeastern part Of the
state. for which Miss McCulloch is
chairman, is asked to supply five
nurses per week. This urgent appeal
indicates. how serious the situation y,
and nurses who have contemplated
enlisting for Red , Cross service, are
asked to put their good intentions"
into working order. and enlist at once.
Miss McCulloch has communicated
with superintendent Of training
schools in the hospitals at Rugby,
and they are expected to help fill the
quota that has been asked from the
district. Miss McCulloch thinks that
1t will be almost impossible for this
district to meet he weekly quota, but
there are a number of nurses in n
distptct who have been expecting to
enlist at any time, and it Is probable
that they will do so at once, making a
fairly good number of enlistments for
the e few weeks.
North Dakota has furnished a larg-
er number Of nurses, according to its
population, than any other state In
the Union. but it has not yet done
enough. Every nurse who is eligible.
will be expected to enlist for active
Red Cross service, and if enlistments
are not voluntary. throughout the
country. it is probable that some kind
Of draft, measures will be established.
When our men are being sent over by
h thousands to battle for u.s., we
some time or other are going to need
a nurses care-some of them will be
very desperately in need of such care
and we know that there is a fairly
good supply of nurses in the country:
Surely their patriotism and ems OF
loyalty and sympathy is going to be
touched to the extent hat they will
come forward, rapidly, and offer their
services to their country. The very
important part in the big struggle,
which nurses may play, should make
their work a genuine privilege, and it
seems hardly possible that all who are
eligible should not be very anxious to
take advantage of the big opportuni-
ty.
Miss McCulloch and her committee
will renew their efforts toward get
ting enlistments, during the next few
weeks. and they ask the cooperation
of the nurses in this district. Any in
formation on the subject that may be
desired may be secured from Miss NC
Culloch.

The German derision of America
when we entered the world war did US
much good as it did the British perti-
nently says the Snow Hill Messenger.
Germany made fun of the little army
of Great Britain and she has found it
a bitter dose. She made fun of the
soldier making material in America
and our unpreparedness and we have
shown her that America can accom-
plish as much in the making of a good
soldier in one year as Imperial
Germany" can do in 40 years. We
are not warlike people, but there's
something doing when we get started.
The fighting quality of the American
soldier has been shown IN France the
past week. He does not know how
to retreat, so when he was given the
order to ''attack,'' he did so with
much earnestness and skill that the
ranks of trained German soldiers be-
fore him fled. Thousands of them
were captured and The whole German
outfit realized that Uncle Sans boys
were something different from any
thing they had run up against in their
four years of warfare. All the Allies
are now joyfully expectant of an early
end to the wa, as no army can long
withstand the fighting Americans.

from Prussianism with all its ac-

Unless s)me attention is soon paid
to the maca lam streets of Smyrna.
Town Council will have the job to do
all over again. A filling in of the
holes and worn places with stone and
a binder material will keep the streets
in condition until more permanent
work can be done Especially is this
true of Commerce street. 1t has been
suggested that Town Council have
Frank L Cohen, contractor. scsrify
and grade the street and re surface it
before he takes his equipment off the
Smyrna Dover road. If it can be done
to an advantage why not do it? As
the main thoroughfare between rail-
road and wharf, no street in Smyrna
gets harder usage than Commerce
street and Council should bend every

While Kent County or the State
High way Commission is looking after
roads, it would seem that something
should be done to the macadam road
between Smyrna and Clayton. This
road, built at considerable expense TO
the county, is going to waste from
lack of attention. In little while
it will be worn away when now. if
some filling in with stone and binder
were resorted to, the macadam road
might be preserved a while longer.
We hate to see public money going to
waste when little time and fore
thought and comparatively little ex-
pense will keep up and preserve this
much used road.
