RECORD "QUOTES” WORLD
Under headlines that would have
dene justice to the biggest sensation
of the year, the Marshfield Record
Saturday reprinted from Western
World an Inconsequential news item
concerning James Watson, county
judge. Whatever prompted the mag­
nification of importance attached to
the item, the World falls to grasp.
However, there must have been some­
thing significant about it that appeal­
ed to the Record editor as valuable
and worthy of front page position
With due respect for the wishes of
the Record, Western World declines
to accept "authority for a story
county judge long under fire Is to re­
tire.” The World has no inside in­
formation regarding Judge Watson'H
private affairs, nor has it assumed
as much. The "story" was (merely a
paragraph at the close of a county
seat Item bearing a Coquille date line.
The paragraph read:
"According to unofficial reports
here. James Watson is planning to
retire as county judge before the
first of the year. He has talked of
such a move for w $ iiu time, claiming
that hi» private business will not per­
mit him to continue in the office ex
cept at a considerable personal sac­
rifice, which he cannot afford
How-
ever, he has made no public an-
nouncetuent."
After camouflaging tills paragraph
to serve what looks very much like
an ulterior purpose, the Record in a
comment associated it with alleged
street rumors at the time of the re-
call, which comment In a measure
might be construed uh a reflection on
Judge Watson’s political stability
Western World is ready to stand
behind whatever it publishes, but it
does not wish to be misquoted, es­
pecially for the purpose of adding
InflucMice to someone's pet political
hobby
They have known very well the risks
they were taking- the two thousand
and more women who have gone to
France for varied services under the
American Red Cross, and the more
than nine thousand nurses whom tlie
American Red Cross has assigned to
foreign duty under the United States
Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
They went under orders, as soldiers
do; prepared for Hny emegelicles, as
soldiers do; they assumed many
strange and unforeseen tasks, as sol­
diers do.
Literally, they went as
fighters, against pain, disease aud
death.
A “mobile surgical unit” of nurses—
those words don't mean very much,
perhaps, the first time we hear them.
But see such an unit follow un army
up to an advanced post ; see how the
nurses work with steady hands beside
the surgeons as the stretcher» with the
newly wounded ure brought In. See
thousands of them In evacuation hos­
pitals, base hospitals, convalescent
hospital», tuberculosis hospitals; some
of them In French military hospitals
where sometimes our men are sent;
aee them with their specialized Nklll
In head surgery, or fracture work, or
psychiatry;—all these women who
keep head and hand cool and steady,
when the ambulances unload great
harvests of wounded. Then we say
the words "Our Nurses,” as we say
“Our Soldiers," "Our Sailors,” "Our
Marines.”
On the night of March 25th. when
the Germans were fast advancing, aud
already within six kilometers of
Annel, tin outpost of Coiilplegne, Rvo
America n doctors remained, who un-
der order of the French government,
hail sent the patients and personnel
of tlielr hospital farther back the
night before, The artillery was deuf-
ening, but the American Ambulance
sectloiH kept bringing their wounded
to Annel. These doctors said that us
long as the American boy» brought
them wounded they would operate.
Two nurses volunteered from Com-
plegue, and so In the deserted chateau
the two surgeons, the two nurses and
the ten drivers worked calmly on,
while the buzz of aeroplanes shook
the air, and tlie blustlng gun» shook
the earth.
