definitely pro British, Archibald Gil
christ, third forum speaker in the

high school auditorium ON Tuesday
night what he felt was a necessary
foundation for the future of the clown
under countries and for the entire
world
His first point of world authority
to take the place Of the League of
Nations. was in line with other forum
speakers. He added however his be-
lief in the need of regional subsidi-
airy in such areas as the Southwest
Pacific where all countries involved
as the Australians, New Zealanders,
Portuguese, Dutch, French and Brit
ISL are in that section. should be able
to discuss their possibilities with
America taking part in the discussion.
HIS third point IN this regard was
that the British Commonwealth of
Nations must continue. at is our re-
atty, it is our security" he declared.
He emphasized that there should be
no change in sovereignty in the is
lands of the Pacific unless Australia
and New Zealand were consulted 1t
was his opinion that the United States
would be given bases near Australia
after this war But we have no fear
Of the United States, and will have no
fear hundreds of years from now"
He placed high in importance the
cooperation of the world in native
welfare, to lift native races to higher

sively, especially in Europe.
Even during his college days, Mr..
Davidan was called upon very often
to address popular audiences, telling
mainly of his European experience
and family background and of what
America had come to mean to his
people. During the course Of his years
of delivering public addresses on the
theme, "What America Means to Me-"

what American democracy and free

Mr.. Davidian's outstanding achieve
ments as a speaker before college au-
diences, conventions, and popular for
ums, in addition to his special interest
and reliable knowledge of Russia and
the modern development of the Union

Oakland Nurse Serves
Wounded in England

THE 18th GENERAL HOSPITAL,
ENGLAND-In the orthOpedic ward
of this United States Army general
hospital in England. Second Lieuten-
ant Genevieve Murphy. of Second St,
Oakland, Maryland, has worked out
an ingenious device with her ward
men for helping patients to move an
injured leg which is held immobilized
in cast.
"Formerly when man with a leg
cast wanted to move in bed, he would
have to call the nurse or ward at
tendant for assistance" said Lieut.,
Murphy. "Then we decided to tie a
rope around the cast near the ankle
and run it through a pulley on the
fracture frame above the patients
head. This enabled him to raise his leg
and move himself whenever he chose,
1t has worked out very well.
"Another problem with men in
casts is to supply them with means
of relieving itching sensations on
their bodies. We took wire coat hang
ers and stretched them out into long
wires which would run under the
cast. These have served to take the
place of the patients fingers"
Trained for the nursing profession
at the Allegany Hospital of Cumber-
land Maryland, 1t. Murphy was en-
ploycd in the Phipps Clinic of Balti-
more before entering the Army Nurse
Corps in November, 1914.
She is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Murphy, of Second street.

sergeant and during the entire period
his platoon was subject to call for the
purpose Of transporting troops, am

to duty and untiring efforts the pla-
toon was able to accomplish its mis-
sions in every instance in a superior
manner. In spite of tire shortage
and the fact that in order to accom-
plish the mission, overlooking his We

and forceful supervision in the care
and maintenance of tires and tubes,
never caused the de ~ of any deliv-

displayed by Staff Sergeant SLIDER
merits the highest praise"
