Sho said that Mayor Torney expressed his appreca-
ton OF and admiration for the nurses on board. and
declared that they had made an admirable record.
She added that the Trained Nurse Maintenance
Auxiliary of the Red Cross Relief Committee will
select from the Red Cross such nurses as are up
to the standard. These nurses will be accepted by
the Government On account OF the fund which
this society has at Its disposal these nurses Will
most likely be sent to tent hospitals and similar

provide for their board.
In regard to the hospital work under the Gov
ernment's supervision she gave her opinion fol-
lows
The Surgeon General OF the Army, Major Stern
berg. at the head OF the hospital service feels
keeny his responsibility to the Government. He
has kept In the OF his profession. and demands

attention that he command. He knows that
me exactng requirements OF modern hospital prac-
tice and surgery have wrought such radical
changes. within even the last few years. that a
nurse is practically useless unless trained In the
modern schools. He is not trying to keep women
out OF the service: the contrary. ne is trying to
