THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published . Every Evening Except Sunday, by ' Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. R. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, aa Second Class Mail Matter. Habits Habits are deep worn grooves. Drag a log over the same track and it will wear a rut so deep that you cannot see it. Keep on cussing day in and day out and your mind will, become saturated with profanity to such an, extent that you cannot speak a sentence without indulging in profanity. Persist in scolding your neighbors and you will soon earn the title of "professional scold" of the town. Insist on gossiping and you will bec:: . ":c best gossip in the community. Contrariwise, do good things, say good things, think noble things, and your whole nature will become ennobled. Your mental and moral make-up is just about what you train it. A man is noble because he .thinks, says and does noble things. A scoundrel cannot have a really lovable character because he does not think exalted thoughts. If you put tar into a can, you cannot expect to pour perfume out of it. If you store your mind with lascivious and wicked thoughts, you cannot expect your character to be angelic.

Sentimentality vs. Trained Nurses By Gelett Burgess of the Vigilantes. Many were the blunders made by the British at the outset of the war. We are destined, apparently, to repeat many of them. One of the most lamentable of those mistakes is now

possible. It concerns every man and woman in the country. ' ; r - Walt a moment don't blame the Red Cross; it has carried preparedness almost to perfection. l Blame, rather, the sentimental enthusiasm of "personal" patriots those women who are romantically anxious to don a cap and go to" France and "nurse" wounded heroes, so anxious that they are willing to occupy places that should be filled only by graduate nurses with years of hospital experience. This is the situation: The Red Cross has already enrolled almost 12,000 graduate nurses all picked women, experienced, skillful, reliable for work in the war hospitals. More are Joining every day. There are some 100,000 to call upon. The Red Cross, however, does train some lay women as so-called "Nurses' Aids," but intends to use them if at all, only for housekeeping work in the hospitals, or as assistants in the diet kitchens, and such comparatively unskilled labor. It is with these Nurses' Aids that the new danger has Partly inside, but mainly outside the Red Cross there has lately developed a strong movement to extend the training of the Nurses'. Aids to include a few months' hospital work. Now, although at first glance this would seem to be a practical step, behind the projects is quite evident an attempt to place, later, these superficially trained students as regular nurses in charge of the wounded. There can be no doubt that women. after their short hospital training will feel themselves quite competent to care for the sick else why should they go in for it at all? They will be romantically anxious to enlist. All kinds of influence will be exerted to place them as nurses into our war hospitals much as similar novices are used as "auxiliary nurses" in France. Now, do you want your father, your brother or husband in their terrible suffering, on their death beds cared for by amateurs? Is the best skilled attention in the world and our graduate nurses are the best in the world one bit too good for our men who, fighting for us, are maimed, blinded or mortally wounded on the battle field? If your sweetheart's jaw is shot away do you want that awful wound dressed by a girl who has had only three or even' six months', training with surgeons? That's what may happen. What shall we do to prevent it? This: Insist that the wounded in our war hospitals shall be attended only by graduate nurses ; and see that, in your district every graduate nurse be urged immediately to volunteerfor war work under the Red Cross, so that any attempt of incompetents to enlist shall be overwhelmed by the number of experienced, professional volunteers. But, above all, if you are a patriotic woman and would give the full measure of devotion to your country, enter some hospital yourself as a student nurse, and take the fu,ll course that will fit you in two years to be a competent Red Cross nurse eligible for the Army Nursing Corps. Be prepared! For the war is likely to be long and the wounded many.

Above is a picture of some of the soldiers of the first American expeditionary force, Major-General John J. Pershing commanding, on board one of the transports cn arrival at a French port, preparing to disembark. The soldiers were greeted by tremendous crowds. One of the odd incidents of the landing was the fact that nearby was a stockaded German prison camy. The German prisoners stared at the "Sammies" and the American flag open-mouthed with astonishment. j j

. Mothers, can you look back and remember when your boy s;it on your knee? How you fondled, caressed and kissed his lips! How the liitle darling pulled your hair, the buttons on your dress! with those little hands he made such a fuss. Ho laughs, coos, has little funny tricks. He makes mother forget that she was sick.. Eaby keeps mother busy all day. Ah, that's what drives her blues away. Mothers, when our boys are older, bow sad wo feol when the last one leaves our home. TUe hair turns to gray while life is fading away with a broken heart. Oh. how sad it is to part from the loved ones. There's no comfort in a widow's home for she is left there alone. We sit at our table, we try to tat. while the tears flow freely down Dur cheeks. My boy, give me my baby boy. , He. was my life, my Joy. No voice in the nursery, no footsteps in the hall, no answer when mother calls. Ah, love, no love like a mothor's love. Dear mothers, we must bo brave for our. dear boys who are on their way to carry those guns under the stars and stripes as our forefathers have done. We grant thee, O God, those young rosebud lives. May they return home to the ever-waiting mother and wife. We shall miss thee, my oldier boy, morning, noon and night But those prayers of your dear old mother will guide you to the right, fthile the star-spangled banner floats

U-Boat Was Great Help To Foe Army AMSTERDAM, July 23. General Von Ludendorff, the German quartermaster-general in discussing the military situation for the benefit of the members of the Reichstag, according to a semi-official telegram received from Berlin, said: "In starting the submarine warfare, the supreme army command was lured by a desire to hit the enemy's war industry, "especially the production of ammunition. Through the submarine warfare our armies in the west were greatly relieved, and the enemy's production of ammunition having decreased, thus our U-boats fulfilled their task. The co-operation of the army and the navy proved to be perfect "The supreme army command expects the submarine warfare to break England's ability to prepare for war

by lessening her tonnage. Fulfillment of this wish, will come despite America and with it the end of the world war and peace which is desired by the supreme army command."

Transport Drivers Run Gauntlet Of Fire; Behind British Lines

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, July 23. (Correspondence.) What mades an indelible impression on the newcomer to the battlefront Is the tremcrrdous organization, back of

the actual fighting line, the miles of roadways dotted with transport of warfood for men and hdrses, shells for the

euns. ammunition for rifles and 'ma

chine-guns and comforts ' for the wounded. '-''. .

-The final and most Interesting link

in this vast organization is the operation of getting the food right up to the men in the trenches. It usually takes place under cover of darkness when the enemy is unable to impede its progress as efficiently as with the aid of daylight. Night after night this goes on. After one recovers from surprise at the quietness with which it is done he is bound to marvel at the clock-like precision of the whole operation all of which testifies to the efficient organization necessary in a war like this. Horse Shoes Clatter. The first intimation that the transport is preparing to move out toward the front line is a clattering of horses shoes on the cobbles of a French farmyard. The voices call out orders! watercarts are filled; horses are harnessed to the wagons and a few minutes later the whole column is standing ready, silent, the transport men mounted, the quartermaster, transport officer and a sergeant on foot. In another instant a whistle sounds, there is a cracking of whip, then another clatter on the cobblestones and the

rumble of heavily laden wagons as the whole column moves out toward the trenches. A few miles ahead the first starshells shoot up and little sudden pricks of flame come from the enemy's guns, then there is soft burst of shrapnel followed by the- deep boom of the heavy guns. ' The road is narrow but wide enough for the limbers of other regiments, cookers, ambulances, army service corps lorries laden with tools and trench stores, orderlies on bicycles and wounded men to pass on their way farther back of the lines. But not a word is heard as the two columns pass each other along this road. Boom More Distinct. As the column "going in" with the rations moves up closer to the lines the star shells and boom of the big guns becomes more distinct. Suddenly the column halts shells have burst in the road or on either side of it a little way ahead. When this ceases probobly for only a few minutes the word is given to move on again. The column

continues to crawl along until It reaches a battered old building beside the road and within a stone's throw of the support trenches. Here are .left 'the supplies brought up by this column. The next sight is a stream of men with picks and shovels and ammunition; a sergeant to see that the rations for the different companies are placed In different piles; a post-corporal hurrying hither and thither in search of D company's letters, which have been mislaid ; and the transport officer and quartermaster supervising and controlling everying always in the most impenetrable darkness, 6ave when a star-shell lights up the white faces, the sweating horses and the roads. -

Frenchmen Forced

To Salute Bochez

STOCKHOLM, July 23. The spe

cial correspondent of a Stockholm pa

per writes from the German front in

France of the treatment meted out to

"disrespectful Frenchmen who did not know the correct Prussian method of

greeting their superiors."

They were brought into ' a large room and compelled for two hours at a stretch to pass and repass a German officer's stuffed uniform, saluting each

time they passed it and saying respectfully: "Bon jour, monsieur rbsicier." A sentinel with fixed bayonet stood near to see that the salutations were properly made.
