Surely six months is too short a period
to justify any newspaper policy or demon
strate the success or failure Of any such
venture stated Mr.. Fell eThe situation
is that The Union was turned over to the
management of women as an organization
of the equal suffrage movement when the
newspaper was owned by Governor Edge.
When the new owners took charge it
was their belief that successful newspapers
must be independent mediums of thought
and politics-that is, not tied up to any
political party or advertising any particu
lar political movement. With this adopted
policy the experiment Of having The Union
committed to the Woman Suffrage party
naturally conflicted, and it was abandoned.
That's the only answer. Under its new
ownership The Union will be drastically
Independent and, while it is not opposed
to equal suffrage, it will not be a cham

any other party.

House Bought for
Nurses

The New York Nursery and Childs Hos
pital. at the corner of Sixty-tirst Street and
Amsterdam Avenue, has secured an option
on the four-story apartment building ad-
joining the hospital property on Sixty-frst
Street, with the view Of converting it into
nurses home
This move on the part of the hospital
authorities has become imperative because
of the rapid increase in the growth of the
hospital work during the last few wears.
The consequent larger number of attend
ants has rendered the present nurses quar-
ters totally inadequate. 1t is the opinion
of the hospital authorities that the youth
of many of the pupil nurses and the arduous
nature of their duties make it, essential
that proper facilities for complete rest and
recreation when they are off duty be pro-
vlded.

"The Land Army originated as war

to war. 1t helped materially in this, and
of the important agencies for the
increasing of food production in America
