MAY ARRIVE IN U. S. INCOGNITO LAST SHOTS FIRED OVER GRAVE OF ZR-2 COMMANDER

An unusual number of applicants for the nurses' school at Reld Memorial hospital have been received of

late, according to Miss Clara B. Pound, R. N., superintendent. The shortage of nurses and probationers, which has been common during ths past few years, is disappearing, Mis3 Pound stated. The local hospital has a waiting list of applicants and six or eight are already entered for next year's course. A class of eight probationers has Just been admitted, bringing the present

number of nurses in the Nurses school up to 28. The hospital Is crowded to capacity and has been for several weeks, Superintendent Pound stated. No reason could be given for this. Nearly 60 patients are being cared for at present and a large number of emergency calls are had daily. All the patients are cared for by members of the nurses' school and there are a few special nurses on duty. Winter Work Starts The summer vacation has just ended and the school work for the winter has been started for the nurses. Those in the school are divided into three classes, following the three months' probation, namely the junior class, intermediate and senior classes. The senior nurses are put in charge of the other nurses. Besides the 28 nurses, the hospital has as usual four regular graduate nurses on duty. Miss Pound, the hospital superintendent, Miss Amy Burns, superintendent of nurses, and the operating supervisor and night superintendent. Ten to 12 graduate nurses are always at the hospital on special cases, Miss Pound said. The statewide nurse recruiting campaign which is to be conducted in Indianapolis the week of Oct. 16, is not needed here, Miss Pound said. "Some training schools," she said, "haven't the applicants they should have which makes the campaign nec

essary. The local hospital, however, has all that it can handle." Is Credited School. The lack of difficulty in obtaining applicants here Miss Pound attributed to th- location of the hospital and the home given the nurses. The Reid Memorial nurses' school is conducted according to the state board requirements and is a credited school. "We want the public to be interested in our nurses and in the hospital," Miss Pound stated, adding that a cordial invitation is extended to the public to attend the commencement exercises to be held for the five graduating nurses at Reid Memorial church at 8:15 o'clock Wednesday evening.

(Bv Associated Press) PRAGUE, Sept. 27. Dr. Eduard Benes, Czecho-Slovak foreign minister

has returned to this city from Brunn where he conferred with M. Banffy, former minister of foreign affairs of Hungary, relative to the controversy between Austria and Hungary relative to Burgenland. There is an impression here that his mission as mediator between those two countries has been successful unless the allies object to the general lines of the agreement proposed. It is understood that the arrangement contemplated would involve the complete retirement of Hungarian forces from West Hungary, with a treaty by which Austria would return to Hungary the town of Oedenburg, perhaps in exchange for economic concessions. This getting together of Hungary, Austria and Czecho Slovakia, is re

Clay, in an eloquent reply, criticized this act as a breach of hospitality, described the difficulties and perils of immediate emancipation and advised Mendenhall to begin his work of benevolence at home. "Clay's re joiner was then overwhelmingly applauded, yet the incident was afterwards an important factor in the growth of the Liberty party; In the defeat of Clay for the presidency in 1844; and in the spread of an anti-slavery sentiment, which contributed to the dissolution of the

Republican party and finally to the Civil war, and ultimate emancipation." (Erected by Kiwanis Club October 1921.)

(By Associated Press) BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 27. Despatches from New York, telling of the successful negotiation of an Argentine loan there were hailed with great relief by the financial and commercial community here today. Business men

have been suffering from the demor

alizing fluctuations of the exchange rate during the course of the negotiations for the loan and there were many conflicting reports as to the progress being made in New York. Official announcement of the successful termination of the deal is still

lacking, and the public received first

definite information in New York ad

vices even the best informed bankers of the city not knowing that the loan had been concluded. To Buy Locomotives. It is understood that in addition to applying the proceeds of the loan to pay off the government's debt of 85,000,000 peaos, paper, to the Argentine National Bank, about $5,000,000 is intended to be applied to the state railways. The purchase of locomotives in the United States is planned and negotiations to this end are now pending. Sharp fluctuations of the American dollar featured yesterday's session of the stock exchange here, the dollar dropping as low as 130 and closing at 136. This activity in the market seemed a prelude to the publication of reports in late evening papers that the deal had been closed between the Argentine government and New York

bankers for the loan of $50,000,000. It was said in the evening papers that the loan would carry interest at 7 per cent, would be issued at $97.25, and would mature in two years.

work today on a Btudy of the various phases of the problem assigned to each with a view to recommending

practical relief measures to the con

Coincident with the opening of the conference, Urban Ledoux, who attracted .attention by his "auction of unemployed on Boston Common," came to Washington and laid before President Harding at the white house

a proposal that the names of all those who had doubled their wealth by war profiteering be made public. As an alternative, hi proposed that the president appeal to all who prof-

1 ited by the war to denote 50 per cent

of their wealth to an unemployment relief fund. He said the president received his suggestions with marked interest, but gave no indication that they would be resorted to for the present.

WAR FINANCE BODY

EXPLAINS ITS POWERS

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. The war finance corporation issued a statement today again explaining its powers under recently enacted legislation authorizing the extension of credit to agricultural intrests, the nature of which, it said, apparently was misunderstood in some sections.

The corporation the statement explained, has no funds for distribution on a "prorata basiss," nor does it con

template the allocation of funds to

institutions or sections. Each appli

cation is handled on its merits in accordance with regulations sent to

HIGH LIVING COSTS THREATEN EXISTENCE OF AMERICAN STATION

(By Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 27. The establishment of Admiral Mark L. Bristol, the United States high commissioner here, which is still referred to as the "American Embassy" has Just missed being closed as a result of the cost of living and an effort by

the state department to introduce economies. Admiral Bristol, has had an extra allowance of $125 a month and $15,000 a year for the maintenance of the "embassy." The former sum had to cover the cost of social entertainments and the latter paid for clerk hire, servants, messengers, telephones, cabling, repairs and other expenses connected with a large office and residence. Sometimes Admiral Bristol has had to use his salary to meet his

bills. Allowance Reduced. Recently the $15,000 was reduced by the state department to $9,000. It seemed that the closing of the "embassy" was the only solution. Many devices were suggested for increasing the "embassy' 'income so it might keep open. One jocular suggestion was that a charity benefit be held.

After a good deal of correspondence with the state department, showing that the pre-war $15,000 had lost much of its value due to the high cost of living here, an increase of $5,000 was allowed and the "embassy" is sitll open.
