This American Red Cross Work
FlOurishIns in Small Towns
Throughout Country.


More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cress to date and its department
Of nursing Ii daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve Of nurses for the army and
navy. It wiz continue to supply the
needs Of the United States Public
Health Service to which it has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
It viii assist In establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses In home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands Of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy short while ago
has been put ahead at least decade
through the work Of the department
Of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now fourishes actively In hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind Of work.
The department of nursing Is unit
Ing with other organizations In q years

training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards Of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools OF

and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service win continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity of securing instruction In
home hygiene and care OF the sick In
every community In the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun
dalton for public health but In some

school houses.
"As community profits by the worl
OF the nurse" says Miss Clara D

MAKING A GOOD RECORD
WITH BILLBOARDS

A Star reporter had the pleasure,
the other day. of riding around town
with Mr. and Mrs. j. G. Swain, in
their car, and observing the neat bill
boards of the Poster Advertising As
ISOLATION, Of which Mrs. Swain is the
Olcaa agent
People of cultivated taste abhor the
average billboard, generally ugly in
itself. and stuck up in some place
where it spoils the scenery. The Pos

great care and considerable art to It's
illustrations, and Mrs. Swain ha.
chosen the sites of her billboards with
good taste and regard for the public
convenience. We have not seen any
Of her boards located where they
would do harm or cut off pretty
scenery. She has observed Dutch
neatness in care and the golden rult

The only direct propaganda raid for

OF Belgian descent who was familiar

We showered them with Osann's

statements Of what the victory Of one
side or the other would mean to them.
Then on a quiet night Osann and a
patrol Of u stole along the railway
that ran into the enemy's lines before
Dampvitoux. Alone, he made his way
within 80 yards of an observation post
on the edge Of wired woods and
boldly set up his call. There was not
even a shot. Aften ten minutes he
began again, Men OF the Sixty First

discussion was going on.
Again Osann shouted names he
knew in the silence the whole patrol
could hear the footsteps Of a man
walking along the railway track to-
ward Osann, but he ran back and
Osann had to come away.
A few days later we took prisoners
on that front, and every man had

a. {. r. Landmarks Going.

Gradually the landmarks Of the
American army that first reached the
Rhine are disappearing. The old
buildings that sheltered the first army
amusements and recreations are being
demolished, and the latest one to feel
the blow of the wrecker's hammer Is
the victory hut In Coblenz.
This hut was built to provide an
adequate eating place for the soldiers
coming in from the various bridge
heads. A corps OF civilian workers
were kept busy preparing and serving
the food for the 1000 men who were
fed there each day. At first the en-
tire building was used as cafeteria.
but when the most OF the divisions
had gone home and the A. e. II. be
came the A. f. G., half of the build
ing was converted into wet canteen
for the service of light lunches, ice
cream. ETC., and the other side was
still used as the cafeteria.
November 5. last year, heavy snow
storm came near ending the career Of
the hut. The weight of snow on the
roof was so great that the main pill

THE LARGEST TANK FLEET

New York.-The largest feet of tank

This fleet, Captain Foley said, aggre-
gated approximately 100000 dead
weight tons, and soon would reach
100000 tons. The completed program
of the Shipping Board, he added,
would approximate 100000 tons of
shipping. Of this 100000 tons would
be oil-burnng. The policy Of the

Secretary Edwin Meredith, of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Senator Ellison D. Smith, of South
Carolina, predicts that the country
soon will confront the most serious
famine in history. Thousands of acres
hitherto given over to the production
of foodstuffs are lying idle and unfur
rowed in the states he visited, he said.
Similar reports have been made by
Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas,
and Senators from other food-produc-
ing states.
Senator Smith declares that while
the amount of farm labor last year
was 81 per cent of the normal, this
year, it is only y per cent of normal,
and is of an age and character which
are not conducive to the highest pro-
ductiVity.
The only remedy, in Senator Smiths
opinion, is for the manufacturers of
articles not classed as necessities to
suspend operations for time and
permit labor to return to the farms.
He has found that of the thousands of
farm boys who went into the military
service during the war only small
per cent have gone back to agricul-
tural labor, the bulk of them having
found work in the cities.
Senator Smith intends to address
the Senate on this subject this week.

MANY WEARING OVERALLS

protest against present high prices of

Society and club women, writers, at

in a gigantic pledge to don Bingham
dresses and wear them until prices of
hats, shoes, coats, suits, blouses and
other articles of clothing are reduced
to q figure within reach of the mod
erately circumstanced purse.
Many of the women said that their
husbands, brothers and fathers already
had promised to wear overalls and

MAY
REND ENTENTE
ITALIAN PREMIER OPENS BATTLE
FOR RECOGNITION OF So
WET RUSSIA.
Turkish "SpoiIs" Also May Cause Dis
cord When Conquerors Divide Rich
Treasure Lands at the Inter-Allied
Conference at San Reno.

London.-Premier Francisco Nitti,
of Italy, will fire the opening gun in
the diplomatic battle at San Reno by
demanding official recognition of So
Wet Russia. The Italian statesman, ac-
cording to authentic information, pro-
poses to exhaust every resource to at
tain his object, because he believes CO.
operation with the Soviets to be the
only tangible solution of Europe's pres
ent economic problems. He hopes to
convert France to that view.
The inter-allied conferences will
see a powerful effort made by all
Entente Powers to restore allied
harmony in dealing with Germany
A warning probably will be sent to the
Mueller Government that Germany
must fulfill the provisions Of the YER
sailles treaty, notably the provisions
calling for her disarmament. The
views of the allies on the latter sub
ject may be framed in the form of an
ultimatum that the penalty for non
fulfllment Of those clauses will be q
renewal of the blockade.
Considerable time will be devoted
by the conferees to a discussion of the
Turkish question. 1t is foregone con-
clusiOn that Syria, Palestine, Arabia,
Mesopotamia and Armenia will be TIA
ken from the former Ottoman Empire,
but a general squabble for possession
of these territories, each an Industrial
treasure land, is inevitable.
Furthermore there is danger of con-
f1ict in the attempts of certain Euro
pean statesmen to repudiate Arthur
Balfours explicit promise Of Palestine
to the Jews, while another LOADED"
subject is that of Mosul, the big oil
center. Premier Lloyd George is cred
tied with intentions of side-tracking
Brittain's written pledge to allot that
city to France.
Next on the program is the Adriatic
puzzle. All the recent rosy reports of
compromise between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia appear to have been unfound-
ed; the fight still is pending, and the
Allied Premiers will make another
desperate attempt to pacify the con-
tending Powers.
