America early this year, ¥ “In England, the League of Na- tions theory is finding strong sup- port,” Uyehara, writes. ‘A league cannot be realized when Britain, which possesses so much of the earth, adops an exclusive policy in her own territory. hould-all the natural re- sources in British possession be mo- n6épolized permanently by their own nationals, it would be inevitable that; the non-British nations would pur- sure a militaristic aggressive policy against her, “America is fighting to safeguard the independence and rights of-the small nations, it claims, Thig must mean that the small nations are to be given the right developing- their own destiny without molestation or interference. It is not=caleulated to guarantee the independence and rights of small nations for strong powers to *mongpolize thé~ benefits accruing from their vast natural re- sources. £ “Again, the policy of confining a large number of people within their own territory of limited dimensions, such as Japan, does not tend to as- sist fhe civilization of~the world, nor is such, a policy calculated to bring about the peace of the world, “It is clear in these circumstances that Japan’s advocacy of the open door principle will meet with no dis- sent from Britain or America, even tho it may be recognized that the immediate enforcement of this prin- ciple is attended. with ‘many diffi- culties. “While claiming*the open door in territories bordering the Pacific, Ja: pan ought to insist that Americe grant imdependence to the Philip- pines. America’s suspicions of Ja- pan have been the obstacles to her/expens: granting this independence / and therefore Japan’s expression of read- iness to guarantee the independence} ng in concert with Great Britain and America, may induce the latter to comply with Japan’s proposal, “Japan also must insist that Ha- waii be made a neutral zone. The independence of the Philippines and the neutrality:of Hawaii are not questions’ which are important for their own sake, but Japan must con- trive for their realization as_a means to give to America’s principle of safeguarding the independence and rights of small nations, and also as the first step in the direction of _en- forcing the open door principle in re- gard to immigration. “Japan’s efforts.to carry this great principle at the peace conference may have the, way for establishment of a great international ideal, even hic her efforts are not crowned with immediate success, Moreover, her claims will be received with univer- sal sympathy and support by the As- iatic peoples, and thus the founda- tion will be laid for Japan’s-assump- tion of ‘the leadership of Asia.” AMERICANS.

Twenty) /such nurses have already been regis-| ; tered_and that the registration may be made complete the following ap- | peal of Surgeon-General Blue of the Medical department is published: “Owing to the rapid spread of the! present Spanish Influenza epidemic, the safety of this country demands that all patriotic , available nurses, |nurses, aids or anyone with experi- ence in nursing, place themselves at | omce at the dsiposal of the govern- ment, thru the American Red Crass, In order that the nursing resources of the country may be mobilized to assist in the control of influenza epidemics, practicing physicians in general and specialists in medicine, in particular, are requested urgently to release from attendance on chron- ic cases all other cases not critical every nurse working under their di-| rection, who can possibly be spared temporarily from such duty. Grad- uate nurses, under-graduate nurses,| nures’ aide and volunteers are urged| tod telegraph collect at once their names, addresses, qualifications and | earliest date of availability to their \locai Red Cross Chapter.” , Such responses in Casper and Na- trona county should be directed to the Natrona County Chapter, A. R. C., phone 950, or to Mrs, Isabella Nelson, phone 828-M. ‘ It is generally understood by the Natrona County public that influen- za has become a dangerous menace thruout the country, not only among the civilian population, but in the great army camps of the nation as well and the American Red Cross is organizing in an effort to help stamp it out. - In accordance with instructions reaching secretary Nelson a chapter committee on influenza Will be ap- pointed immediaaely by Dr. Walter H, Bradley, president of the organi- zation, to consist of the chapter chair- man, a physician, a member of the nursing committee, the chairman of the home sewviee section and such additional members as may be neces- sary to the successful promulgation of plans. This committee in consul. tation with the public health offi ers will complete the survey of avai able nursing personnel and hospital supplies, already stgrted by Secre- tary Nelson. In the event of a local emergency. they. are authorized to “report to and furnich upon request of local health officers what supplies and pursing personnel the chapter can furnish at chapter expense for local use.” Such is a proper charge against the chapter’s share of ‘the war fund, it | is set forth, In all some $10,000 was turned back to the Natrona! | County Chapter as a result of the| success of the $40,000 drive last spring. ‘. | Instructions provide for compensa- | tion, for graduate nurses amounting} to $75 a inenth, for time so assigned, The compensation for under-gradu- ates and aids will range from $30 to $50 a month, according to quatifica-} tions. All warranted expenses also willbe allowed. Miss Delano, national dircetor of nursing, recommends that under- graduate nurses, nurses’ aids and un- trained volunteers be used in the care of sick only undef the- supervision of graduate nurses, with the approval of local health authorities. Such an organization as the Red Cross proposes thruout the length and breadth ofthe land, it is shown, will reuduce materially the amount of suf- fering and will also go a long way toward wiping out the epidemic by ‘providing instant relief and the most efficient’ service where emergencies develop. Attention is called’to the fact that the services of all experienced nurs- ing are sorely needed and there is room for a great many volunteers. A prompt response is anticipated to the call here in view of the urgéncy and the local chapter will appreciate such action.

The meeting was: called principally to protest against the announced en- gagement of Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria and Princess Antoinette youngest sister of the Grand Duchess. Prince Ruprecht has been commander ef the German forces along the north- ern part of the western front in France. Recently it was reported that he had been displaced but later restored to his command, The Grand Duchess was character- ized by. several speakers as being en- tirely Germanophile, one declaring that when Luxemburg was entered hy the Germans, she teleproned to the Emperor William, “I pray. God every day that our army may) be suc: cessful and soon bring back to Ger- many. a heavy harvest of laurels.” Another speaker declared that she went twice to Lowry, personally to congratulate the German Crown Prince Frederick on having captured it. The first time, he said, she was too, early and had to hurry back un- der. French fire. The second time, for Publication b hit forward in’ the advance, Sheridan street, Holdredge, Nebr. i Private.
