In the second installment of his memoirs of “The Big Four of
the Peace Conference,” appearing in the Saturday Evening Post, for-
mer Secretary of State Robert Lansing says:
“ • • • the day after the armistice was signed I had a con-
ference with the President in his study at the White House, during
which I took occasion to tell him that in my judgment it would be a
serious mistake for him to sit at the peace table, and I went fully
into my reasons for so advising him. Six days later, November 18,
1918, the President came to my residence and told me that after
considering the matter very carefully he had determined to go to
the conference, and had given out a public announcement of his
intention. My judment as to the President’s personal participation in
the negotiations and his absence from the United States for so long
a period is the same now as it was the day I expressed it. • • •

These statements, relieved though they are by tributes to Mr.

"Ai the leaders of the Allied Powers with their practical ideas came
to a realisation of the situation and saw that the President was willing to
concede much in exchange for support of the covenant, they utilised his
supreme desire to obtain by barter material advantages for their own nations.
From the results of the negotiations it may be deduced that by clever
representations they gained concession after concession. The apparent sup-
port of the idealism of the President by these statesmen was in my opinion
chiefly for a purpose and not out of conviction. They loudly applauded the
president's declarations of principle as the just bases of peace, but they
never once attempted to apply them unless their own national interests were
advanced. They praised the covenant as a wonderful document, as the
MAena Charts of the world, as an eternal memorial to its author, and they
subtly flattered the President by confiding to the league every question
which could not be immediately solved, ostensibly to show their fajth in the
propoedI organisation, but really to postpone the settlement of dangerous

We quote a verse from one of the

pitals have shortened the pupil nurse’s
duty to eight hours, though in some
schools studying and class work has to
be done outstde of this period.
What the nurses’ organizations are
saying is that no hospital should take
students for the purpose of getting free
labor. If a hospital is going to con-
duct a school it should understand
that its obligation to the students—to
give them a thorough training—is as
great as its obligation to the patients
—to give them proper treatment. That
they do not all feel this obligation to-
ward the nurses they are to send out
to all sorts of responsible positions
is proved by such facts as those given
by a State inspector of training schools.
This inspector figures 90 per cent of
the training schools that be visits are

”I know he is, but I am afraid of
his horns. Oh, quick. papa, he is com-
ing toward me,” and Violet climbed up
so high on the fence to get out of Billy’s
reach that she was in danger of fall-
ing over into the yard where the goats
were.
Billy, on getting through the gate,
thought he would try to make friends
with Violet and then perhaps she
would like him as well as Nannie for
a pet. As soon as he saw that she was
afraid, he stopped and kept close to
Nannie, hoping that she would get over
her fright.

For Instance, there are fewer girls en-
tering those hospitals, sanatoria and
private hospitals that are not able to
register their graduates. Not to be
registered in the State means that
the graduate with her two or three
years of training can not become a
member of the Red Cross Nursing As-
sociation. an army or navy nurse, nor
would she be admitted as a staff nurse
in most hospitals of recognized stand-
ing.
Training school standards are rising
and so are the standards for nurses.
At one time girls just out of grammar
school were in a great many hospitals
admitted as probationers. The ten-
dency now is to demand a high school
diploma and to make the nurses’ train-
ing approximate a college or normal
school course with a B. 8. degree.
Ow twenty colleges now maintain
schoos of nursing, usually giving a
five-year course. The army also has
an excellent training school where a
three-year course is given.
Nurses-really trained nurses-are
going to be needed in ever increasing
numbers as we aim at higher stand-
ards of health and sanitation. Right
now, more public health nurses are
needed for child welfare work, visiting
nurse associations, and medical social
service departments Graduate nurses

A prominent optometrist has made the startling statement that all

’There is a new eye disease which cornea from looking at flashy objects
like yellow hair. Men look at blondes too constantly.”
The doctor may be right, but it is to be hoped that we are to be
allowed a few pleasures in this country. Men used to get eystrain from
drinking certain bootlegger brands of hootch. When that was shut off
they began getting eye trouble by staring at blondes. Men simply seem
to be determined to contract eye trouble in some way.
Men, by the way, have been looking at blondes for many years. They

spent a great deal of time and money looking at her was Old Uncle J.
Caesar and Marc Antony. Nobody ever heard of either of them wearing
eyeglasses or being obliged to sit in a dark room, but enough other things
happened to them to make up for that.
The blondes are proverbial trouble causers, and the only other class
who have caused as much are the brunettes. Men will never agree as to
which have caused the most. Some have admired one style and some the
other.
But what in the name of common sense will be gained by spoiling half

If they are deported half the men will follow them and keep on contracting
eye trouble.

WASHfNaTON, D. c. March 2—
Where is the girl who wants to be a
nurse? The National nursing organ-
izationa of the country are lioking for
her, because lately, she doesn’t seem
to be looking for them.
Nursing has alway been a woman's
work. Out of every class of high
school graduates, or even out of gram-
mar school graduating classes there
have invariably been some girls who
would be nursea Now( one big hos-
pital in New York reports that instead
of having thirty-five or forty pupil
nurses entering each year, it gets only
about four That proportion is repeat-
ed all over the country, and conditions
are worse in the smaller hospital
schools where facilities for training
are not so attractive to student nurses.
When the war offered adventure and
dramatic service to volunteer nurses
there were thousands of women who
studied and worked untiringly—e /er.
to sacrificing their health, some of
them—so long as the fighting lasted.
After that, like the soldiers, most of
them wanted to get back to their regu-
lar lives. Nursing with them was war
work—incidental.
So the war did not flood the coun-
try with nurses seeking civilian em-
ployment. On the contrary, the lack
of nurses for hospitals and homes has
become acute. And because the future
looks still more critical, the National
nursing associations have started a
campaign to interest girls in nursing
as a profession. This campaign has al-
ready been taken up enthusiastically in
twenty-four States, for the need for
more nurses is nation wide.
While recruiting is being pushed, the
nursing organisations are also trying
to awaken the hospitals to the fact
that they can not expect to attract
the kind of girls that should be in the
nursing profession unless student life
is made easier and more profitable.
The hospitals were beginning to see
this for themselves and a reform is
under way.
Overworked Students.
In the past, the student nurse worked
twelve hours a day. Her classes were
moved about from one hour to an-
other or left out entirely when her
services were needed about the wards.
In fact, these conditions still obtain
in some training schools, but they will
not last long, because girls will not

“No man ever received a more demonstrative welcome than did
Mr. Wilson from the moment that the George Washington entered
the harbor of Brest, it was a great popular ovation. His name was
on every lip; throngs of admirers aplauded him as he entered the
special train for Paris and at the stations en route; and multitudes,
delirious with enthusiasm, cheered him a welcome as he drove through
| the beflagged streets of the French capital. • • • It was a recep-
" tion which might have turned the head of a man far less responsive
than the President to public applause, and have given him an exalted
opinion of his own power of accomplishment and of his individual
responsibility to mankind. It is fair, I think, to assume that this was
"This convincing evidence of his personal popularity, which was vastly
Increased by his subsequent visits to London and Rome, doubtless confirmed
him in the belief that, with the people of the three principal Allied Powers
bo unanimously behind hhn, the statesmen of those countries would hardly
dare to oppose his ideasasto the terms of peace. I think that there were
ample grounds for his belief.
The trouble was that the President was not prepared to seize the oppor-
tunity and to capitalise this general popular support. He came to Paris
without, so far as I know, a definite outline of a treaty with Germany. He
did have a draft of a covenant of a League of Nations, but it was a crude
and undigested plan, as is evident by a comparison of it with the document
finally reported to the Conference on the Preliminaries of Peace. He, of
course, had hia famous fourteen points, and the declarations appearing in his
subsequent addresses as bases of the peace, but they were little more than
a series of principles and policies to guide in the drafting of actual terms.
As to a complete projet, or even an outline of terms which could be laid
before the delegates for consideration, he apparently had none; in fact when
this lack was felt by members of the American commission they undertook
to have their legal advisers prepare a skeleton treaty, but had to abandon
the work after it was well under way because the President resented the
idea, asserting emphatically that he did not intend to allow lawyers to draw
the treaty, a declaration that discouraged those of the profession from
volunteering suggestions as to the covenant and other articles of the treaty.
The President, not having done the preliminary work himself, and unwill-
ing to have others do it, was wholly unprepared to submit anything in
concrete form to the European statesmen, unless it was his imperfect plan
for a League of Nations. The consequence was that the general scheme of
the treaty and many of the important articles were prepared and worked out
by the British and French delegations. • • ♦.
“If the President had adopted the customary method of negotiation
through commissioners instead of pursuing the unusual and in fact untried
method of personal .participation, the situation would have been very dif-
ferent. Without the President present in Paris detailed instructions would

pital is that sometimes

students. Nurses for home duty and
for missionary work are also scarce.
And yet these branches offer a more
varied or a more highly specialized ca-
reer than nurses have ever been of-
fered before.
The nurses’ associations have organ-
ized their campaign on a remarkably
systematic basis. Red Cross chapters,
women’s clubs, boards of education,
and other local organizations are told
to form a local committee to conduct
each campaign. And from that point
the campaign is a series of posters,
speeches, literature and moving pic-
tures until the town or state gets the
recruits needed.
"Recruiting may continue for
months, even years,” says Maj. Julia
Stimson, superintendent of the army
nurse corps, who is chairman on the
national recruiting committee. “The
drive has just begun, but the outlook
is hopeful because already the States
are getting recruits, and people are
beginning really to understand how
important the trained nurse is—and
how many of her kind are needed."
says he will take an undergraduate
nurse, and one of his pupils is detailed
to him at about half the graduates’
fee, the money going to the hospital.
Now if this work lasted a few days,
even a week, it might be practical ex-
perience for the student. She would
learn something of that particular type
of disease. But the case may go on
for weeks or months, and the nurse is ’
gaining nothing. <
Besides too long hours and a too 1
flexible system of instruction in train-
ing schools, pupil nurses have had to (
put up with bad rooming conditions.
In one hospital here an unused ward
is fitted as a dormitory for the pupils.
In another school the students live in i
houses across the street from the hos-
pital, four or five girls in a room.
The desirable standard for nurses'
quarters is a comfortable residence. 1
well lighted and heated and separate
from the hospital, with single rooms
for the students.
Hospitals are having to meet higher
standards because they can no longer
overlook the fact that young women
are more cautious about starting upon
a career now than they once were.
No girl who enters a hospital with
any understanding of the work ex-
pects to have an easy time, but she
does expect and demand a broad course
of training under livable conditions.
Girl Has Many Chancss.
There are so many other vocations
open to the high schol girl graduate
now that she no longer takes up nurs-
ing as the alternative of a life of teach-
ing school. That is the main reason
why the army of nurses has dwindled.
Business, law and other professions
are offering big rewards, while the
hospitals have gone on complacently
thinking that the great opportunity for
service through nursing would con-
tinue as sure an attraction as ever.
Mose women who' taJur up nursflrg11
as a profession are impressed by the
possibilities of the work, but nowadays
a girl who is interested in this kind i
have been prepared, which could have been modified during the negotiations
only by referenee to him at Washington. Instructions of that sort would of
necessity have been definite. There would have been no uncertainty as to
the objects sought. But with the President on the ground written instructions
seemed to him, and possibly were, superfluous. He was there to decide the
attitude of the United States and give oral directions concerning the minutest
detail of the negotiations as the questions arose; and since diplomatic com-
missionere are in any event only agents of the President and subject always
to his instructions, the American commissioners at Paris possessed no right
to act independently or to do other than follow the directions which they
received, which in this case were given by word of mouth. • • •"
“M. Clemenceau, and in a lesser degree Mr. Lloyd George, took the
Initiative on practically all subjects requiring settlement except as to those
before Commissions of the conference, and even in the case of the commission
on the League of Nations, of which the President was the presiding officer,
the initiative apparently passed from him to General Smuts and Lord Roberts
Cecil. Thus the United States was forced into the position of following
Instead of leading in the drafting of the terms formulated in the Counc il of
Four, a position which was unnecessary as it was unfortunate. • • ♦.
"Obsessed with the idea that the organization of a League of Nations was
the supreme object to be attained at the Paris conference, the President
devoted his time, his effort and his influence to drafting its charter and
removing or neutralizing the objections which stood in the way of its
"gr;acceptance. ■ S,.“‘ ", - ■ m-
frightening her, and so she came up
and began patting Nannie en the head,
saying:
"ou poor, tired little Nannie. Did
the cars bang you around dreadfully,
and did the men poke you with a long
stick with a nail in the end of it when
they drove you into a cattlepen to
get a drink or something to eat on
the way here? I just hate those men
with their long, cruel sticks, so I do
Mamma says I must not hate anyone,
but I don’t know what else to call the
bad feeling I have inside of me when
I think of their hurting poor animals
that can’t get out of their way. Here,
you big Billy, don't chew my hair," she
called out, for Billy had taken just a
nibble at her pretty long locks, never
dreaming that she would feel it.
"Papa, the big goat thinks my hair
is some kind of long grass, I guess, for
her is trying to eat it.”
"Maybe he is only trying to make
you understand that he is hungry.”
"I guess that is so. I never thought
of iL Come with me, you two darlings,
and I will give you the biggest supper
you ever had in your life,” and she
put a rope around Nannie’s neck and
led her toward the house with Billy
closely following.
