THE PRESIDENT ILL

1t was a fair representation o
the people of Kansas which as
sembled at Wichita last Friday tt
hear President Wilson speak.
There were men and womer
there from every section of the
state and represented just about al
political faiths.
They went to hear the president
talk of the League of Nations, not
as partisans, but with the idea of
learning everything possible about
the covenant first hand from the
man who had large part in franz
ing it,
When the announcement was
made from the platform that on ac-
count of illness it would be i'm
possible for the President to speak
they sat speechless for several min
utes. 1t was keen disappoint-
ment. Not a disappointment at not
seeing the president Of the United
States, but at the loss of oppor-
tunity to get first hand information
on a vital subject.
The writer was one of those pres
emit When the audience was dis
missed with the simple announce
ment of the Presidents illness there
was no criticism, but only concern
as to his state of health There
was no feeling of partisanship in
that crowd. They were Kansans
seeking knowledge; they came mott
to criticize, but to learn.
During the balance of the day
and the next we met people from
all over Kansas, old friends and &C
quantances principally; talked to
strangers on the streets and in the
hotel Hobbies, and the general topic |
was the presidents illness and the
League of Nations During these
conversations we had the Opportuni-
ty to learn of the feeling of people
generally
We found more Republicans fav-
orable to the League than against
it; we found more people who
confessed that they knew nothing
about it than those who admitted a
knowledge of its provisions; we
found that the Democrats are with
President Wilson. While some of
our Republican papers are throwing
great boquets at Senator Reed we
failed to find single Democrat who
agreed with him or failed to criti-
CHE his stand on the League
In short we have come to the
conclusion that the ratification of
the League is but a matter of time.
General opinion is that the Senate
will make some interpretations
which will not have to be ratified
by the other powers; but that the
Covenant will be passed at an early
date without reservation or amend
ment.

NEW WORN OFF NEW ULYSSES

The New" has worn off New
Ulysses, and the citizens are cir
culating a petition requesting the
federal postal department to dehorn
the adjective from the official title
of the postoffice. In 1909 when the
postoffice was established it was Of
ficially termed New Ulysses owing
to the fact that the former Ulysses
remained a postoffice. That city
and postoffice being now but mem
cries, citizens of "New" Ulysses
think the city's title should be fore
shortened by the elision of the adj
jective.

NEED FOR RANK
FOR ARMY NURSE
Without It She Cannot Get
the Aid to Help Her
Save Life.

Washington, D. c.. Aug so.-The
nurses who served with the army in
France and who were responsible for
the amazing percentage Of complete
recovery Of wounded and sick sol
diers, have started a real fight here in
Washington TO secure relative army
rank for nurses in the service As
the reason for that demand they cite
experiences while in the service IN
France and England.
Only through such a system, they
say. can the nursing corps be main
tanned at the high standard OF erIl-
cheney which American preparedness
demands In order TO emphasize their
reasons they have asked the senate
and house 10 grant a public hearing
on the JOnes-Raker bill giving rela-
tive rank TO army nurses
At this hearing which shortly VIII
be held, the nurses expect TO show
justification for their demands One
OF their leaders. Mrs. Anne Calvert
Nelly, has prepared a statement set
ting forth the cause Of the nurses.
In the acid test Of the late war
our nurses discovered that they could
have cared for their wounded more
efficiently had they possessed rank.
she says And this is why the army
nurse corps has the grave response
bility OF seeing that the medical Of
ficers' orders are carried out To do
70 patients in their wards at a time,
they must depend on the help Of or
derlies who are enlisted men. for the
most part. unframed in hospital work.
and constantly shifting These men
have been taught to obey officers who
wear rank insignia on their shoulder
straps but not to obey nurses without
rank or the insignia Of rank.
They think exactly what one delir-
ious man at a base hospital kept say
ing TO his nurse: 7 don't have to obey
you. You're not an officer; you're
only a nurse
It has been found that this lack OF
rank and authority that goes with
such rank results in friction between
nurses and orderlies; in DELAYS that
are ngerous-somefimes fatal Much
Of the time and vitality Of the nurses
that should be given their patients
IS wasted in struggles with unframed
orderlies over whom the nurses. with Z
out rank, have no recognized author
