How ENGLAND Honors Nurses.

Honors paid to Edith Cavell have
brought to light the fact that England
delights to honor women who give
their best to the profession of nursing
The first statue in the country raised
to q woman, other than royalty, was
that of Dorothy Pattison in Wallsall,
as memorial for her work during the
smellpox epidemic in Staffordshire in
1867, while figure of Florence Night
ingale stands in Waterloo place. This
statue was, on the day Of the home
coming Of Edith Cavell's body, pro-
fusely decorated with handsome
wreaths from an unknown donor.

How Sharp Soft Pine Stick !
May Be Used for Lettering

A storekeeper, who wished to make
some large signs with heavy letters,
whitfield one end Of sOft-pine stick
down to sharp, broad edge, and used
1t to letter the cards. A tool made of
this kind of wood works equally we'll
with ink or paint and, in he hands Of
an amateur, will make a much cleaner
letter than brush. The whitfield end
resembles the chisel edge on red
sable lettering brush, so that the ordi-
nary motions are made in using it /;
but, being more rigid, 1t demands less
skill on the part of the workman.

whv eabv Has : snub Nose.

. Babies, like bulldogs, have snub
noses to enable them to breathe while
holding on to the soft. yielding skin
with their mouths when nursing. This
explanation isgiven by DIR. Herbert II.
Spencer of London In writing letter
to the Lancet. Doctor Spencer writes
that the button-ended, turned-up nose
Is almost universal, except among the
babies of races that are marked by
hook noses, when the baby's nose is
often turned down into partial hook.

Suddenly the man gave q cry
Of astonishment, and the others
looking up saw large jackfish
splashing the water In vigorous
fashion. The boat began to
rock; the man in the bow lost
his balance and tumbled into the
lake, where he disappeared from
sight.
A moment later he rose to the
surface, the jackfish still thrash
Ing the water about his foot, and
It was seen that the fish was
caught on the spur. The jack
was huge fellow and very
strong. and In it's struggles for
freedom it plunged down toward
the bottom Of the lake, dragging
the man feet foremost after it.
His weight, however, was too
much for the fish and 1t made

The fishermen now went to
the assistance Of their compan-
Ion. One of them struck the jack
with an oar and stunned 1t. The
man was pulled into the boat and
the jackfish despatched. The big
fish had jumped for the gudgeon,
fixed its teeth In its body and
had somehow been caught by the
gill on the crane-necked spur.

the marketing cannot testify and the
committee must obtain dependable in
formation from another source.
Housewife witnesses, however, may
be useful in disclosing whether there
have been marked differences in prices
here. 1t has been said that prices for
the same quality of goods have ranged
widely in the local markets, the varia-
tons not being attributable entirely to
such items as rent. That there have
been individual cases of profiteering is
undeniable. In manner the house
wives have had the remedy for this
condition in their own hands through
what may. be called selective buying,
by seeking the lowest prices. But thas
entails expenditure of time and much
trouble.
Let all the facts be laid bare. Let
the record of Washington's price-charg-
ing for necessities during the war
period be so written that a dependable
conclusion may be drawn.

Hohenzollern to Be Tried.

Whatever anxiety may have been
the former kaiser of Germany for his
offenses against civilization should be
allayed by the announcement made
yesterday by Premier Lloyd George
in the house of commons to the effect
that William Hohenzollern will be
placed on trial in London. This posi-
tive declaration of purpose on the
part of the allies to 60 through with
that provision of the peace treaty
which makes for the punishment of
Germans guilty of crimes in precipi-
tating and conducting the war should
leave no question whatever. Holland,
! it is understood. has been warned to
take special precautions against the
surreptitious return of Hohenzollern
to Germany.
Extradition will doubtless be asked
soon. A nice question arises whether
this request should be preferred di-
rect to Holland or through Germany.
The latter country has pledged itself
in signing the peace treaty without
reservation to deliver for trial all per-
sons who may be named, specifically
including the former kaiser. An eff
fort will doubtless be made by some
Germans to resist the carrying out of
this pledge, but failure to meet the
acquisitions of the allies will be a
breach of treaty involving penalties
bearing upon the whole people.
Speculation as to the punishment
of the kaiser in case he is found guilty
on trial is naturally revived by Lloyd
Georges announcement. 1t is reported
from London on good authority that
Hohenzollern will be confined in the
Tower of London pending verdict, and
that the death penalty will not be
sought by his accusers. If that be true
his exile, as in the case Of Napoleon,
would seem most likely in the event of
conviction. st. Helena is still avail
able.

was a period of rest. Not so now.
The ocean traveller, if emergency calls,
is as busy on ship as ashore. The
President is getting no rest. On the
contrary, his physician is cautioning
him against overwork. Between the
advices he is receiving about business
in Paris and business here, and the
address he is preparing to deliver
when he submits the peace treaty to
the Senate, he is as hard driven as
ever he has been in his Office.
And then that was notable touch
to the picture when from passing
ship a package containing official docu-
ments was transferred to him.

danger! Who says it? Who with his
eyes and ears open, and the capacity
to appraise what is brought to him

things, should have any serious mis-
givings about either the present or the
future! With so many ways of work
ing, and so many facilities, who can
doubt that the world will soon emerge
from her present difficulties, right side

Guard the Brake Apparatus !!

A rear-end collision on the New
York Central line at Dunkirk, n. Y,
which killed nine and injured more
than forty persons, is attributed to a
cause unique in the history of train
wrecks. 1t is claimed that the acct
dent resulted from the failure of air
brakes to operate, due to the fact that
a stopcock had been turned under
the car on the trucks of which, after
the collision, the dead body of tramp
was found. The assumption is that the
tramp purposely or accidentally tam
pered with the stopcock. The brakes
had been tested three times at the be-
ginning of the run, but on seeing a
cautionary signal giving warning of
the presence of a stalled train ahead
of him the engineer could not set the
brakes on the body of the train, those
on the locomotive and tender only re-
spending If this is the true cause of
the accident it shows that a point Of
gravity has been entirely overlooked in
the construction of trains. 1t has been
known for many years that tramps
were given to riding on passenger car
trucks. Yet evidently no precaution
has been taken against interference
with the brake apparatus. This is not
a case in which rear-end collision
would have been averted by the auto
matte stop, which must depend upon
the perfect operation of brakes. None
theless, the need Of some method of
assuredly stopping a train when it
enters a danger zone as a means of
security is imperative.

The Times, and Their Assurances

There is nothing new or startling in
the statement that these are great
times. Wonders are working. Every
body is aware of the fact Proof of
it, in one form or another, is afforded
daily.
Take this ocean trip the President
is making. Only few years ago when
a traveller left America for Europe, or
Europe for America, he was out of
sight and touch of land during the
time required by the ship to negotiate
the passage. His first question upon
landing was, whats the news." and
his first quest was for a newspaper
He was eager for information about
what had been going on during his So
journ on the sea.
Not so now. He comes ashore up,
to-date, so to say. Although out of
sight, he has not been out of touch of
land at all. The news has been flashed
TO him on shipboard in quantities suf
ticient to satisfy his curiosity. The
newspaper of that particular day is

Take the President. now a little more
than midway between France and
home. He has been interested in
vents in both France and America
and has been kept informed from botl
ends. Secretary Lansing has been
communicating with him from Paris
and Secretary Tumulty from thi.

A Desecrating Spectacle.

It is not a particularly inspiring
thought that on this day, the day of
national celebration, the day Of COM
memoration of heroic deeds, the day
of gratitude for patriotic sacrifices and
the establishment of high principles,
the attention of great multitude of
the American people should be center
ed upon socalled sporting event in
which two men, lured by commercial
stake and the hope of future financial
profit, pummel each other in a So
called prize fight. "The manly art of
self defense" is the customary excuse
for this sort of exhibition. Time was
when pugilism did in fact represent a
form Of training that the average
American youth was expected to I'M
dergo for the purpose Of actual de-
tense. But pugilism as it is now prae-
| ticed has dcgenerated into a sordid
| business, an unseemly spectacle, APP

to the low emotions and is in no de-

Independence Day.

independence day has special sig
nifcance this year. 1t can be celebrat-
cd in the fullest sense in the spirit of
its inception, as a day of jubilation for
the freedom of the American people
from all forms of foreign oppression.
The fullness of rejoicing today turns
upon the events of the past twelve
months. Had the American arms not
been successful in Europe last autumn,
and had the war been still in progress,
q different aspect would have been
given this occasion.
A year ago today the Germans were
continuing their advance in France,
that had pressed back the allied lines
to a point seriously menacing their Sc
curity. They were preparing for their
supreme push across the Marine, hav-
ing reached advanced points near ipres
and Amiens. They were gathering in
heavy force in the triangle of scissors,
Chateau Thierry and Rheims. If they
could break from that salient Paris
was endangered and the integrity of
the allied alignment was dangerously
menaced. Fortunately Foch had
through his intelligence service obtain
ed hint Of this program. He decided
upon a counter attack which would put

gathered his forces in the forest of
Villers Coterets. The world knows the
result The German thrust failed, and
from the 18th Of July began a series
of German defeats that four months
later eliminated in virtual surrender
and the end of hostilities.
Today we do special honor to those
Americans who fell in this service, and
to all who participated and survived.
In the ceremonies today in this city
medals are being bestowed upon the
thousands who joined the colors dur
ing the eighteen months of our active
war-making, and tribute is paid to the
200 and more who lost their lives over
seas. The festal features of the oc-
easion do not lessen the solemnity of
the investure of honor.
Never before has the United States
stood SO strongly before the world as
an Independent country, powerful in
its potency for action in defense of its
principles. It has demonstrated a SOL
idarity that was doubted by its enemies
and questioned by even some of its
own people. 1t has proved the pos
session of the true sacrifcial spirit.
1t has manifested patriotism of high
degree. 1t has played an important
and largely determining part in the
councils at Paris and has shaped the
course of nations great and small. 1t
has contributed greatly to the cause of
universal peace.

Women and the Price Probe.

1t is suggested that the aid of wom-
en- in Washington be invoked by the
Senate District committee in its in
vestigation of food prices in this city.
No better testimony could be had. The
women are the ones who chiefly buy
the foods, who do the marketing, and
who have to keep the family bills with
in the limits of the family purse. The
testimony of few housewives before
the subcommittee would be of distinct
value.
Yet, after all, this testimony lis not
conclusive on the point that IS chiefly
at issue. 1t can be assumed safely that
prices are high here and have been
high for some time. But are they high
er here than in other citiesi That is
the main question to be answered.

necessities profteered out of proper
