45 NURSES FINISH * TRAINING AT REED Army School Graduates Are From Various States—Five From District. In the presence of many high rank- ing officials of the Medical Corps of the Army, 46 graduates of the Army School of Nursing Friday afternoon were awarded degrees at commence- ment exercises held at the Army Medi- cal Center. Because of inclement weather, the program was held in the Red Cross Building of Walter Reed Hospital, instead of in the garden. The white-garbed nurses marched into the hall to music by the Army Band, directed by Capt. Willam J. Stannard. Mrs. Kahn Speaks. An address was delivered by Repre- sentative Florence P. Kahn of Cali- fornia, who was introduced by Maj. Gen. Merritte W. Ireland, Surgeon General of the Army. Diplomas were presented to the nurses by Brig. Gen. James M. Kennedy, in command of the Army Medical Center. The class includes five Washington en. They are Edith Robin, Grace ison Sanford, Augusta Lee Short, Florina Corder and Freida n. The Rea medal, Channing Miller of presented by Mrs. won by Barba Vermdnt, was Henry R. Rea. Invocation was pronounced by Chap- lain J. Hall and a benediction was said by Chaplain Benjamin F. McGeary. Maj. Julia C. Stimson, superintendent of the Army Nursing Corps and dean of the Army School of Nursing, pre sided over the commencement. List of Graduates. The graduates, in addition to the five Washington women, are: Bertha Flsa Anderson, Minnesota; Cather- ine Bleecker Bapgs, New York; Theresa Belknap, lowa; Marle Eliz- abeth Berg, Pennsylvania; Louise Bonewitz, Illinois; Ruth Susan Boyd, Ohio; Doris Marian Coolidge, Penn- sylvania; Frances Mabel Crosson, Indiana; _Agnes Davis, California; Edith Mae Intellectuals )| o There are aJot of writers in these unholy days who pose as fearless fighters of everything we praise; man's faith they would be stealing, his high- er hopes congealing, they jeer him when he's kneeling, they josh him when he prays. They laugh at all reli- gion, at every gospel tale, from Noah and pigeon to Jonah and his whale: the faith that's lived for ages, expounded by the sages, they scorn, in futile rages, as being false and stale. They live in ease and splendor, they have good grub to cook, they draw much legal tender for knocking on the Book: they draw a price gi- gantic from magazines romantic for proving preachers frantic, insane or on the crook. They do not have to struggle or starve in garrets cold; on cushions soft they snuggle and knock the speed laws cold: in gilded clubs they linger and haply crook a finger at one who is the bringer of cocktails manifold. Their lives are soft and slothful, they loaf the years away, and throw their wheezes mothful at those who watch and pray; all worshyping is fooling, all clergymen are drooling, philosophy is cooling all pious zeal, they s 1f they some day were taken from fortune’s kindly care and found themselves forsaken, in danger and despair, would they keep on their teaching, thelr atheistic preaching, some solace still beseeching from In- gerkoll, Voltaire? If certain ship- wreck faced them where angry bil- lows roar, would arguments that braced them when they were safe ashore to peacefulhavens steer them, would Huxley’s lectures cheer them, or Darwin's chapters clear them of dread that made them sore? When man is fat and hearty, with threes square meals a day, he’s prone to be «a smarty and foolish things he'll say but when misfortunes hound him, cissitudes confound him, he, bling, looks around him for gods to whom to pray.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., June 5.—The case of Farl B. Zirkle of Garden City, Kans, who vesterday upset Navy precedent by refusing to accept his commission as an ensign and was taken to sea on the battleship New York in spite of his efforts to leave the service, will not be considered until completion of the Summer cruise. He will be permitted to keep his diploma, and Secretary Wilbur and Rear Admiral Louis M. Nulton, acade- my superintendent, expressed hope that another Summe! on the sea would cause him to reconsider his de- cision that he has “no taste” for naval life. Zirkle attempted to refuse his diplo- ma, but he was obliged, under orders, to appear at the commencement exer- cises and received it from the hands of Secretary Wilbur. The conferring ©of a commission upon him halted abruptly, however, when he declined 1o take the cath. While his 445 class- mates scattered to various parts of the country for their 30-day leave of absence, Zirkle went aboard the bat- tleship. Besides the New York, the battle- ehips Utah and Wyoming are taking part in the cruise, carrying nvore than 1.200 midshipmen ommand of Rear Admiral Carl T. Vogelgesang. The squadron will return from Guan- tanamo, Cuba, the last week in August. FOR MONTH TO A YEAR Ten Persons Face Judge Mattingly in Police Court—One De- mands Jury Trial.

Mattingly in Police Court yesterday Wwhen he imposed sentences on 10 of them ranging from 30 days to a year. A few were placed on probation, Dut the majority were given heavy sentences. One of the nine, Mary Dobbins, colored, demanded a jury g al. The remalning nine, all colored, whose chief actlvities took place in Goldenberg's and _Hecht's, were Jeanette Lucas, Annie Johnson, Lula Brown, Nora Howard, Estella Maud- Jin, Mildred Harris, Sadie Brooks, Florence Turner and Helen Kelly.

There are about 20,000,000 plows in use; almost ail | are of the stick variety tipped with fron.
