The head of the family, having just
received bill for his wife's and daugh-
ter's new Easter hats, chuckled to him.

Getting up suddenly in the middle
Of the night the man rushed through

to, the young woman tried II. on, paid

 He turned like flash, levelling his red bayonet. Then God bless my soul, a nurse.'' cried he. How the devil came ye here, nurse?''
 I told him I had been brought by the orders of the German he had just killed.

SCOTTISH RED GROSS GIRLS
 STORY OF HUN ATROCITIES

CRecords of the war will scarcely provide experiences of a moro dramatic character than those hero related by Miss Mary Macleod, who served aS a Fed Cross nurse in Franco. Before the outbreak of Ifostilities Miss Macleod was acting as house. keeper in Edinburgh to her three brothers, who laid down their lives for their country.
 Ideutenant John Macleod was lost in destroyer action. Lieutenant Tom Macleod was killed fin a fight with three Ger man airmen, and tho youngest brother, Archie, went down with a torpedoed Cunarder off the coast of Ireland.

 had volunteered as Red Cross nurse for work under active service conditions after losing my three brothers as a direct consequence of the war.
 After six mon ths in France found myself at clearing station not far from the front line trenches.
 Here I met a young officer who had been wounded, and a very warm feeling sprang up between us. He was the only son of a widow, his father having been killed leading his men at the Dardanelles.
 Our friendship ripened into love. and one night I promised to be his wife as soon as circumstances per- nnitted.
 Happy Dreams DfspeIIed.
 Alas for my dreams of happiness! Two nights later a strong attack was launched by the Germans. and. over whelmed by weight of numbers our lads were forced to retire. Our clearing station was full to overflow ing. and transport could not reach us owing to shell fire.
 Pieces of shrapnel pierced the walls and roof of our station. Two doctors were killed and a shell, ex- pIoding right on the roof, killed four dressers, and wounded me in the left shoulder and side. I felt no pain, only a numbness, but my sweetheart who had ben working like galley slave, rushed to help in the binding up of my wounds.
 Very soon the Germans were on us. and an ober-lieutenant, revolver in hand dashed into the clearing sta- ton. He shot both orderlies dead, and Dick, my sweetheart, made to rush at him. The German saw this, and turned his pistol on Dick. I gave a shriek and Dick stopped. When the Hun saw me he gave some orders to ths soldiers who had followed him and crossed over to where lay. He sat on bed beside me and asked if could speak Ger man. I replied in the negative, whereupon, speaking in English, he abused me in a most foul and ob- scene way. Two soldiers stood by Dick or else I am sure the German would have had short shrift. But when the German said he would take a kiss this maddened Dick, and sprii..ing over to the Hun. he dealt him a fearful blow in the face before

WILSON VETOES
CUMMINS' BILL
Plan Would Have Restored
Rate Powers of interstate
Commerce Commission.

By United Press:
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s.-Pres't
Wilson today vetoed the Cummins
rate bill which would have restored
the interstate commerce commission
10 it's pre-war power over railroad
rates
The veto viii be forwarded 10 con-
'gress
Under government railroad con-
troll the president has had the power
10 make rates and did make several
revisions upward. The Cummins bill
would have forced the president
through tho railroad administration.
10 go before tho interstate commerce
commission Just as the railroads
themselves had 20 do before federal
control.
Plan OF Bill.
The Cummins bill would have
forced those in charge Of the rail-
roads under federal control % seek
approval or the various state rail
road commissions in matters affect
ing intra-state traffic.
During the war the president had
the same power over Interstate and
intra- Estate rates.
The provision Of the bill return
ing the power OF rate review TO state
commissions was the cause OF the
presidents veto. He said he had no
objection 10 the feature OF the bin
which restored pre-war powers TO
the inter state commerce commits
sion.
The veto message also spoke Of
the short time Of federal control
remaining Indicating that the presi-
dent has not changed his mind about
turning back the roads Jan. j.
In Directing to the restoration Of
power TO the state commissions, the
president said:
Immediate Effect.
THE immediate effect of such
change in the law would be 70 de-
prive the federal government OF the
ability TO cope promptly and de-
cisively with operating emergencies
which are now arising and must
continue 10 arise during the exist
ing period OF heavy traffic"
The president then pointed 10 the
railroad administrations stopping
cons.gnees unduly OBTAINING refrig-
orator cars and to the plans for OBJ
tanning heavier loading OF grain as
actions that would be hampered. IL
not prevented. under the Cummins
bill.
The matters have mentioned
are illustrative Of pressing practical
emergencies which must be dealt
with promptly if they are to be dealt
with effectively and while the fed
eral government alone is response
BILE for railroad operation, It ought
Co have within itself the power to
deal with these problems.
Beyond these pressing practical
cNIgcnCies I feel that II is a far
sounder principle 20 vest in the fed
cral government the power 10 re-
: wise the revenue 10 operate the rail-
roads when the federal government
alone is responsible for paying the
bills for their operation
