Mr, Innsing was counsellor, an oltica In which he had succeeded John lias- sett Moore. It has been common know ledge that while Mr. Lansing's name was signed to the succeeding notes to tlerniuuy and the notes which preced ed the armistice. Mr. Wilson - wrote them himself, in fact he acted as Sec retary' of State in all Important busi ness. It was the President's, concep tion of his relation to the foreign pol icy --of the nation. How much Mr. Lansing and the President differed on the Mexican policy never has been ful ly revealed, but officials who. sympa thised with Mr, Lansing's views said they differed a great deal. It has been generally . believed in official circles here that the, sharp notes which Mr. Lansing seut to fCurranza iu connec tion with the Jenkins' case are what the President referred to in his latter to the Secretary when he spoke of the Seretnry-uf State having taken a fore stall In his. ludinnent. It Is known. however, that Henry Fletcher, former ambassador to Mexico, who recently resigned, wrote the letter to the Pres ident in which he excoriated tly ad ministration's Mexican policy, and the general belief in the State Department is that Mr. Lansing und Mr. Fletcher agreed pretty generally. Mr, Fletch er's .letter of resignation never has been given, out at the White House. But aside from his differences with the : President, It has been common knowledge in Washington that Mr, Lansing has not been oq good , terms with Secretary Tumulty and from time to ttmo there has been apparently well ground reports of friction with Secretaries Baker and Daniels, In the senate foreign relations coin mlttee, where Mr, Lansing was la fre quent town with senators, he i re tAiMiad ii i tvn'""! ri,"""t. - fjni vxi riik:4 . i I .....t em kirf I -'fitiu. ftl t.

Raleigh, Feb. 14. In an effort to'se. . cure nurses for duty In the commun- , . itics in the state which are In sore ' need because of influenza. Governor T. W.

Is again abroad In the state. - In many communities medical and : nursing services in inadequate to meet . i the needs of the emergency thus pro- ' duced. In some communities medical ' and nursing service Is wholly lacking. There are sections where entire fami lies in a neighborhood are stricken . down and lie sick until death without , even the ordinary attention for their . ' comfort and welfare that kindly neigh- . . bors might administer. Along with these perilous community needs there ',.:. '; .". must be hundreds of trained nurses In the state now engaged in attending private cases. Between the conven- - , lenee and safety of individual families and the peril of stricken communities ; the sense of duty of private nurses " must be very uncertain and most dls- , , r! turblng te their peace of mind. Many v-- , nurses with private cases, under exist ing circumstances, perhaps would glad ly leave to their state tho responslbil-; A'.. ity of determining their places of du ty. I am therefore, in the public in- - terest and with the difficult position of the private nurse in mind, writing, to make, this request or you: xnat it - f you are now engaged in private nurs- -;.v luyoii- ftll out sniLmaU to mo th - eiicrosed form which," as you 'Wllf "e " serve,. leaves the determination of your ' place of sorvlce In the present emcrr gency,not to yourself, but to the state ' .' ; and relieves you of all responsibility.' ; : The probabilities are that not more' ,' than fifty nurses from among all of ' ' -the nurses engaged In the state will bo ' called. These are a relatively small " -percentage of the total nurses at work. In this emergency when - our ! people cry out for help,' no private duty should stand In the way. . This is no- . -flee for any Individual or family nott .". to retain a nurse for private duty. .'.' when her services can be so much .
