Knox Rewrites Resolution.

Senator Knox who was once an at
torney general and secretary of state
OF the United States rewrote the house
resolution with an eye to future criti-
cism. He recognized at once that the
congress could not bind the executive
branch of the government as to the
kind of treaty Of peace il should ne
gotate, and that II would be the sim
plest thing in the world for President
Wilson to veto the resolution and cite
Welghty precedents to support his ac-
tion.
So, after repeating all the wartime
legislation OF domestic character and
torbidding, moreover. the disposition OF
the German property in the United
States taken by authority of the trading
with the enemy act another congress
sional privilege, the Knox resolution
would merely request" the president
to open peace negotiations with Ger
many.
Insofar also as the resolution declares
that the United States doesn't waive
any rights In the meantime which II
might get under the treaty of Yer.
sailles, this, too. would merely be the
| expression OF an opinion hN coAgresi
and would rof course not actually Ant
foreign government unless so mott
fled by the executive branch OF this
United States government with whom
1t deals exclusively in matters of the
kind Congress cant, under our CON
stitution enter into communication OF
negotiation with foreign governments
Thus broadly speaking, President
Wilson can not veto the Knox resolu
tiOn merely because 1t expresses an
opinion or requests him to adopt a
certain course And, before the reso-
luton Is finally passed by the senate,
the fact that congress requests" rather
than orders" the executive branch OF
the government to safeguard all claims
or rights which would otherwise come
to us under the treaty of Versailles
itself will be emphasized, and all con
stitutonal or technical objections to the
Knox resolution will have been removed
The president would have to choose
some general ground for vetoing the
Knox resolution And his action would
be unprecedented. He could say that
the treaty OF Versailles is already in
operation and that he believes il to be
the best compromise agreement that
can be obtained and more advantage
Gus pact TO the United States than
separate peace with Germany. He
could, moreover, refuse TO negotiate
with Germany separately. arguing that
IL would be violation of the terms OF

the associated powers as the basis oi
peace and a withdrawal OF our mora
obligation to stand with the allies with

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled In the American
Red Cross to date and It's department
OF nursing is daily increasing this en-
rollment
The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve OF nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs Of the United States Public
Health Service to which II has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t viii assist In establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals. dispensarieS aud
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 ard
now iiourishes actively in hundreds OF
small towns and counties. Nearly
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind Of work.
The department of nursing Is unit
ing with other organizations in a years
campaign In recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools Of
nursing 1t will endeavor to meet all
these needs rs well as to continue the
enrolment Of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet,
ics, in developing hutritional clinics,
and In supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will 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-
dation for public health but In some
places has given impetus to the estab.
lishment of hospitals and community

"As community profits by the work
OF the nurse" says Miss Clara D.
Noyes, director Of the department of
nursing, 1T is logical that the com
munity should be aroused to its respon-
sibillty. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in general cam.

support. sympathy and understanding
OF the medical profession as we'll as

Queer War Money.

Some very odd kinds Of money were
brought into circulation during the
war, owing to the scarcity Of copper
and nickel. Germany issued hundreds
Of millions Of five-pfennig and ten
pfennig iron coins, the latter output
Of these pieces being coated with zinc
to prevent rust. Iron coins were like
wise minted by the governments OF
Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The
Germans issued one-pfennig pieces OF
aluminium, and In Algeria also alum
mum coins Of FIVE centimes and ten
centimes made their appearance In cir
culation. Germany issued muslin notes.
and the local governments In that coun'
try and. in Austria printed paper money
of the smallest value ever known. rep
resenting one-fifth Of cent. Even
more curious was the pasteboard
money issued In some Of the enemy
occupied cities in France. 1t was IN
denominations up to FIVE francs, apd
was Of different colors and shapes
square, round, octagonal. oval and dia-
mond shaped. This "card money" was
guaranteed by the local municipality,
and was good only for use in transae
tien with merchants Of the town where
II was issued.

HISTORY MERELY A LESSON
Paints Pictures Only That THEY May
Be an Inspiration to Future
Generations.

History does not relate for the sake
Of relating; It does not paint for the
sake Of painting; it relates and paints
the past that 1t may be a living lesson
Of the future. 1t proposes-to instruct
new generations by the experience Of
those who have gone before them, by
exhibiting to them faithful picture
Of great and important events with
their causes and their effects, with
general designs and particular pas
sions, with the faults and virtues that
are found commingled In human
things. It teaches the excellence of
prudence. courage. and great thoughts
profoundly meditated, constantly pur-
sued, and executed with moderation
and force. 1t shows the vanity Of
immoderate pretensions, the power Of
wisdom and virtue, the impotence Of
folly and crime. Thucydides. Polybius,
and Tacitus undertake anything rather
than procuring new emotions for an
idle curiosity or worn threadbare
Imagination. They doubtless desire
to interest and attract. but more to
instruct; they are the avowed masters
Of statesmen and the preceptors Of
mankind.-Victor Cousin.

For q Headache.

following simple remedy for headache
sick headache particularly. Cut Q

into q tumbler. Add a few-a very
few grains of sugar, and Ill the glass
nearly three-quarters full Of cold wat
er. Now stir in half an eggspoonful
Of ordinary baking soda. This will fixx
up. Of course, and the draught must
be swallowed during efrervescence.
II one does fails to relieve headache,
repeat 1t three hours after. Taken
fasting, the first thing in the morning.
1t will do much to settle the stomach
after the sick headache, and probably
prevent its recurrence for some time to
come. This kitchen physic has pre-
vailed when phenacetin and other
nerve-quieters have signally failed to
do so.

Teach Child Courtesy.

Good manners in children as well as
grown people are the expression Of
an innate consideration for the rights,
privileges and opinions Of other peo-
pie.
Years Of experience have crystal
lized this feeling into certain conven-
tional forms Of expression. which ev-
cry child should be taught. The lit
tie habits Of courtesy, which should
be a part Of every day life. are really
the outward and visible sign Of an
inward grace" Few acquisitions are
more valuable TO anyone than that
charm of manner which wins the i'm
mediate regard Of everyone with whom
they come into contact.
