organized to the extent that they are
at present, and the professional
nurse was less matter of course in
the sickroom.
Now, however, the nurses salary
does not loom up so large, whereas
the work required is as exacting as
ever and the hours are as long. More
over, the years Of hospital work to
prepare for nursing seem long COM
pared with the requirements of busi-
ness offices. Finally, the nurse gets
little, if any, pay while learning dur
ing the hours Of service, both in the
hospital and out of it.
Many mcnial tasks are imposed
upon the student nurse that are dis
couraging at the outset. The re-
strictions on their comings and
goings are distasteful. The fear
that their training may encroach on
the doctors authority rather hinders
their scientific development. These
are things that might be improved
upon. The pay might be increased
so that the long years of training
will not be too great an undertaking
for women who might prefer nurs-
ing to other professions, but who
cannot defer financial independence
so long. The hours, perhaps, can
not be changed until the supply Of
nurses will permit it, but they should
be lessened when possible.
In the case Of doctors, the long
years Of study and hospital training
at their own expense, except for an
occasional scholarship, together with
the night and day demands Of the
profession, deter young men with
their way to make. Only those who
can we'll afford it or who have an
overwhelming desire to enter the
profession are willing to make the
effort. There are too many other
opportunities less arduous. If the
shortage of doctors is as acute as it
appears to be, it is surely a matter
Of grave concern, and it may be that
the only solution Of the problem is
in greater public aid to medical edu-
cation.

soon fall due. The Federal service is
overmanned. Naval and military
appropriations are swollen. Many
of the present Federal taxes are a
drag on business and an obstacle to
postwar economical readjustments.
Congress slashed the estimates for
1920-'21. 1t showed the right spirit;
but apparently it is going to get no
more help from the Administration
now than it did last winter. That
shouldn't prevent it from cutting the
1921-'22 estimates to the bone.

hooligan q terrific blow; he fell back
ward and struck his head on the
curb. The fall fractured the assailant's
skull and in few hours he was dead.
We handed our man over to the civil
authorities for trial, and jury COM
posed entirely of Irishmen acquitted
him. The action Of this jury in itself
indicated that there was no sympathy
among the decent Irish element, which
constituted the great majority, with
this sort Of tactics, but naturally it
did not improve relations between our
men and the Sim Feiners.
At the Cathedral
The Importance Of another incident
which took place at the cathedral has
been much exaggerated. 1t is true
that priest in his Sunday sermon de-
t bnounced the American sailors as van
dals and betrayers of Irish woman
hood, but it is also true that Roman
Catholics of that section were them
selves the most enraged at this absurd
proceeding. A number Of Roman Cath
olic officers who were present left the
church in body, the Catholic bishop
Of the diocese called upon Admiral
Bayly and apologized for the insult, and
he also punished the offending priest
by assigning him to new duties at a
considerable distance from the Amer
lean ships.
But even more serious trouble was
brewing, for our officers discovered that
the American sailors were making elab-
crate plans to protect themselves. Had
this discovery not been made in time
something like an international Incl
dent might have resulted.
Much to our regret, however, it was
found necessary to issue an order that
no naval men, British or American, un-
der the rank of commander, should be
permitted to go to Cork. Ultimately
we had nearly 5000 American men at
this station; Queenstown itself is a
small place of 5000 or 1000; so it is
apparent that it did not possess the
facilities for giving such large num-
| pCA VI lAcI JuOSS ISidAdIAOuS WHlCu
were necessary to their efficiency. We
established club in Queenstown, pro-
vided motion pictures and other enter
tainments, and did the best we could
to keep our sailors contcnted.
The citizens Of Cork also keenly re-
gretted our action. The great ma jority
had formed a real fondness for our
boys, and they regarded it as a great
humiliation that the rowdy element
made it necessary to keep our men out
of their city. Many letters were print
ed in the Cork newspapers apologizing
to the Americans and calling upon the
people to take action that would justify
US in resembling our order. The loss
to Cork tradesmen was great; our men
received not far from 100000 to $780,
900 month in pay; they were free
srenders, and their presence in the
neighborhood for nearly two years
would have meant a fortune to many
local merchants. Yet we were obliged
to refuse to accede to the numerous
requests that the American sailors be
permitted to ,'isit the city.

no shortage, who is responsible for

The Coming ower
On a Mascf1cId Flyleaf

Through the surf-wet sands of Los
Muertos they ran furrow deep
Dragging the laden jolly-boat be-
yond the clutch Of the tide,
And up the shore toward the strag-
Cling trees where tho sand is
hard and steep
They bore the chest with it's weight
of gold, three staggering either
side.
Only the moon saw tho hole they dug
and the chest they buried there,
With clumsy mattocks red with rust
and rotted with years at sea.
Oh, the blaze and gleamr'in that
chests black hold would make a
sultan stare!
'And it lies where moonlight stains
the sand with the shade of a
twisted tree.
Would yop see the glitter of huddled
gems, the CLINT of those bars Of
gold?
Would you learn in that buried log
book the rover's bloody creed?
Then set no sail on ship to Spain,
nor chart nor map unfold
Here lies the chest Of the buccaneers,
heave up its lid--and read.

Openly Pro-Cern,nss

The people Of Queenstown and Cork,
as already described, received our men
with genuine Irish cordiality. Yet in a
few weeks evidence of hostility in GER
tain quarters became apparent. The
fact is that part Of Ireland in which the
Americans were stationed was a head
quarters of the Sim Fein.
The members of this organization were
not only openly disloyal; they were
openly pro-German. They were not even
neutral; they were working day and
night for a German victory, for in their
misguided minds German victory sig
nified an Irish republic. 1t was no Sc
'cret that the Sim Feiners were sending
information to Germany and constantly
laying plots to interfere with the British
and American navies.
At first it might be supposed that
the large number of sailors-ard some
officers-of Irish extraction on the
American destroyers would tend TO
make things easier for our men. Quite
contrary proved the case. The Sim
Feiners apparently believed that these
so-called Irish Americans would SYM
pathize with their cause; in their wild
est moments they even hoped that
our naval forces might champion it,
But these splendid sailors were Amer
leans before they were anything else; !;
their chief ambition was the defeat of
the Hun, and they would not under
stand how any man anywhere could
have any other aim in life. They were
disgusted at the large number Of able
bodied men whom they saw on the
streets, and they did not hesitate to
ask some of them why they were not
fighting on the Western front
