HOW NEW YORK RECEIVED THE -NEAVS OF THE UUEAK WITH GERMANY. . New York, Feb. 20. (Special) New Y'ork received the first news of the break with Germany calmly, so far as street evidences were con cerned. It is barely possible that the nearly zero weather had something to do with this outward appearance of lethargy. There is something about five degrees above zero and a sixty mile north-west gale that discourages street arguments. Small solemn groups stood in the biting blasts of the coldest day of the year and watch ed the bulletin board with intense in terest. Flags appeared from house tops and office windows, and the stock min uet naii a spasm, ah or tne tac ticals of a war with Germany were gone over thousands of times in the commuters' trains: The country was invaded by armies of several millions, brought over here in Zeppelins and Wedding Invitations, announce ments and calling cards printed at the Observer Job Printing Depart ment. 10-28-tf. submarines. We mt several armies of millions of men to surround Berlin and put an end to the war. Theodore Roosevelt was elected king and Pres dent Wilson was given enough haloes to provjde the children of Washington with hoops for the next quarter of a century. Fortunate it is for the coun try that most of these dreadful (or pleasant) things happened on the 7.46 from Scarsdale, the 8.02 from Morristown and various other hyphen ated suburban trains. There was, though, something inspiring in the staff set iaws and tha aprimiK rnnn. tenances that accompanied the hurried scanning of the headlines in the afternoon extras. One could not help comparing, however, the reception of the present war crisis with what would probably have been its re ception three vears ato before we hnrf . been accustomed to the fearful details of the European conflict, Jt seems as ! though we have become so accustomed I to the war thought that it fails to I startle ua very much, even when we ...uoi.

Why, oh why, must stage and 'movie" nurses always fall in love Auction Sale Will sell to highest bidder, Thursday, March 1st, 1917, at our warehouse, La Grande, Oregoa, one lot household goods and piano, stored bj Ger trude Thompson, for storage charges. The J. D. Lynch Co. X with cither the doctor or the patient! If real life provided as many hospital love affairs as we are led by the stage to believe come out of a hospital ward, there would be few Red Cross nurses or any other kind outside of their own (homo nurseries. The facts are, how ever, that the hospital nurse is no more susceptible to the attractions of the handsome interne than any other woman. It is just as possible for a woman to spend three years in a hospital wibhout marrying one of the internes with several hundred feet of mushy love scenes as it is for a stenographer to spend three years in an office without eloping with the boss. This is one of the facts that Ella Phillips Crandall, Sec retary for the Nationnl Organization for Public Health Nursing, hopes to impress upon the public consciousness. The organization is starting a nation wide campaign of education to show intelligent young women of the country that nursing offers an at tractive field for a well educated woman who has a mission. Miss Crandall refuses to believe that love affairs, with more or less handsome and more or less fresh, internes, re necessarily "a part of the attractive 'ness of the nursing nrofession. I Goodness! We in New York are not 'only becoming unexcitablo but we are also becominir modest! ( rllif a irrt Boston and Philadelphia papers please ;c-py.; uoi u is recorded that thou : sands of rescues were made in waters about New York last year that never 'got into the newspapers. Heavens knows what the long suffering news i papers would have done if they had. ; Special weekly rescue editions would .have been necessary illustrated of course. j Commodore Charles E. Raynor of .the United States Volunteer Life Saving Corps vouches for the truth I of this. In his annual report he re- gretted it on the ground that it handi caps the task of compiling accurate ' statistics on the department's work. "There are thousands of rescues by our 3,000 members every year that ' we never hrar of", he said. "Our 'young men think so little of saving a life that they refuse to go to the both ,er of making a report about it In I some of our stations not fiv per cent of the actual rescues are reported. .Only where they have risked their jown lives will they consider it of enough importance to make a tc : port." Commodore Raynor's report listed ; 380 rescues from drowning last year , with 5,016 cases where first aid was given. Enterprise, Ore., Feb. 20 (Speeiul) i Miss Fay Steele took a trip to La .
