Geneva, June s.-"Life in Germany
is growing intolerable." declares
Gen. Won Kluck. famous Prussian
army leader. who arrived in Swift
zerland with his wife and daughter
a few days ago.
Gen. Won kluck. who commanded
the right German army in the battle
CT the Marne, still feels keenly his
defeat and protests he would have
saved the day IL tho. kaiser and his
chief Of staff, Won Moltke. had not
interfered.
.The kaiser and Won Moltke lost
their heads completely when Joffre's
counter offensive set in and ordered
the general retreat which precipitat-
ed the debacle in the German army"
said Won Kluck. Neither of them
was mt to command an army in the
field"
Won Kluck is one of the Prus-
sian war criminals" whom Ger
many has promised to prosecute. He
denies, however. that he has come
to Switzerland to escape trial. \
Il do not fear the supreme court
in Leipzig" he told Swiss friends,
for IL will establish my innocence
and exculpate me from the ridicu-
lous charges brought by the allies.
L left Germany because political
conditions there are simply disgust
ing. That is ALL"
Gen. Won Kluck is staying in the
little Swiss town of Aarau as the
guest of the Swiss Major Birgher
who was prominent in the recent
campaign against Switzerland's ad-
herence TO the league of nations.

NEED OF NURSES
 IS MOST ACUTE

fThe need for nurses today is acute,' said pr. c. E. A. Winslow last night at the United Congregational church to the 19 graduates of the Bridgeport Hospital training school for nurses. The church was crowded with the nurses. who were in their second and freshman year, and parents, rel ativeS, and friends.
 Dr. WinsloW said the nurse was the central figure in the whole scheme of public health.
 ''The federal government, munich paities, charitable organiza tions and industrial plants everywhere recognize the value of visiting and public health nurses, not only in caring for the sick and injured, but in giving informa- ton on the formation of health habits and means of preventing disease. In times gone by lawyers and city off, cials made the health rules, but lead CTS now realize that people cannot be made to guard their health by 1egisla- ton. Personal attention and educa- ton are necessary, and that is what nurses give"
 There should be at least one public nurse to every 1000 inhabitants ac- cording to Dr. Winslow. That would mean 50,000 nurses in the United States, whereas there are only 5000 nurses at present.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

Life is not all joy and jazz for the young crowd. Those in schools and colleges have many hours of worry over examinations. A boy who once had to pass such an examination an- nounced that if he failed he would return by the railroad track instead of by the street, as he dreaded the curious questioning of the neighbors.
 Examinations are not an ideal way of determining scholastic achieve ment. Some excellent pupils get f1ust- cred. and fail to do justice to them selves. But if so, this reveals a weak ness that they must overcome. If they can't retain presence of mind in an emergency, they will never be able to think in moments of business strain and pressure.
 The pupil who has 1oafed away his term, now discovers that he is up against retribution. But the fellow who has plugged while the others played, finds that things are coming his way.
