Do those things you would have done
if the war had not interfered. Set your
house in order, refurnish it, reft your ward
robe, build yourself home. We're resum-
ing work on public improvements, inaugu-
rating new work, but that isn't enough.
Unless we stimulate industry provide work
and get Reconstruction under way at once,
it will be laborious, expensive, dangerous

We must act Immediately, individually,

THE most important job before this

back on peace and sound prosperity
basis at the earliest possible moment. This
IS the most crucial period in all our history.
Amid the wreck of war some nations lie
prostrate-the others struggle to get back
on their feet. The nation that rehabilitates
itself first will have an unreasonable adj
vantage not only for elf-preservation but
for enduring Prosperity. Any nation that
hesitates invites disaster see Russia.

Regular Libraries
Loaned Women Workers

Most of the women who have gone
into the field as librarians were loaned by
city libraries for period of six months,
their salaries continuing while they were
in war service. The stats at camps in
this country have consequently been
changing constantly.
During the war fifty tons ship space
a month was granted for carrying books
on the recommendaeion Of General Per-
shing One-tifth of this was for maga-
zines. The number of books sent over
seas up to March. 1919. was 2,25O,000.
More than 100000 gift books were
distributed during the war. One Of the
important parts of the librarians war
work was the selection of books that the
soldiers would want from the number of
gifts Many contributors used no judg-
ment at all in their giving They chose
the volumes from their libraries that
they themselves did not want, without
consideration of whether they might
suit the taste of soldier.

ing in New y ork are demand
ing military rank as a con-
ditlon to further war service in our
army. They say they would absolutely
refuse to volunteer again unless present
conditions were completely changed and
rank were granted"
This statement is made by Miss Ella
Phillips Crandall, of New York. who is
IN Washington to close the work of the
committees on nursing of the Council of
National Defence, Of which she has been
secretary-treasurer throughout the war.
According to Miss Crandall. who has
recruited thousands Of applicants for
the United States student nurse reserve
the army nurses, while happy to have
served our soldiers, are bitterly resent
full Of the governments treatment OF
them. In one Of the papers they are
asked to sign when they leave the ser
vice they are asked whether they would
accept war service if needed, and if not
TO give their reasons. Many nurses are
answering, "Not unless rank is given to
nurses Only in case nurses receive
rank, "Only on condition that rank is
conferred on nurses in order that thcv
may be respected and their authority
obeyed."
'Our nurses have functioned as off
GERS said Miss Crandall. but they have
been without an officers authority to
enforce their orders. Their position has
hampered their efficiency and Inundated
them personally.
We have been told by one nurse of
half dozen night orderlies who went
on strike and complained to the com
mandlng officer because she insisted or
their performance of their night tasks
when they preferred to sleep and let the
patients 90 unattended.
In some cases army surgeons ignored
the nurses TO the extent of issuing their
orders about patients to the orderlies in
steadAof to the nurses, and at least one
commanding officer instructed his medi-
cal officers to have no association with
nurses, since such association would
mean loss Of caste for the doctors.
The trained nurses of this whole
country have been reused by the stories
they have heard, and in every state are
organizing committees to demand rank
at the extra session of Congress. They
are all cooperating with the National
Committee on Rank at Washington, of
which former President Taft is honorary
chairman, and will continue the efforts
already made to pass the Lewis-Raker
bill. which failed of consideration at the
last session.
