STenten . Japknese nurses,' wit h
two phBiciana, . an interpreter and
. a. i business manager, have passed
through the United States on their
way to the war in Europe. They
were hailed with enthusiasm all
along the route from San Francisco
to New York. They expect to be en
gaged in work near Southampton,
England, ; but may go to the conti
nent later.
. Nursing has come to . be quite a
popular profession for women in Ja
pan. Of course it is a great innova
tion, but as the women of highest rank
have taken it. up they have set the
seal of reSDectability unon
classes. - The organisaioh of Red
Cross nurses ' is part of Japan's
military system and is directly under
government : supervision.. No caste
is recognized in the training schools.

TRULY GOLDEN
MARKET FOR COMING YEAR IS
VERY BRIGHT.
Foreign Mills Give No Competition to
American Mills.
The outlook-for -wool prices wa i
never better than at this time say ex
perts. Despite the allowal of impor
tations of fleece - from the ' ' English
colonies under ' certain restrictions,
there is no noticeable weakness in
the market situation at any place in
the world it is said.- ;'$- ', y;-'.
Foreign markets for wool are still
better than those in the United States
Huge orders that are being received
almost daily by continental ; woolen
mills for the army have swamped
practically all European institution
and there is now no doubt that Amer
ican interests -will receive larger ord
ers than previously. , j , , j
' One of the best features of the pres
ent situation is that the foreign mills
are so busily engaged in turning out
cloth for the army that they no long
er.: are able to take care of their
trade in other-countries. This means,
therefore, that ' the American : mills
will have practically no competition
at home, and will be needed to take'
care of the' surplus orders ' for the
foreign armies.
