vancement of Science. AS one Of its
vice presidents she had charge of the
department of anthropology.
The war came. Minister Takahira
notified DIR. MCGEE that the mikado
had accepted with thanks the offer of
a corps of trained American women
war nurses for service in his army
hospitals. Then began the hustle of
preparation. The beginning was to
select the nurses. There is a Spanish
American war nurses association, and
the members of this of curse had first
choice. One Of the first to be selected
was Miss Alice Kemmer. Another
was Miss Stack of Washington. Miss
Stack is so well up In her profession
that the government appointed her to
teach army hospital corps men their
duties. She has been for some time
an instructor in the hospital corps
school in Washington. She is an ex-
pert in diet for the sick. Both Miss
Kemmer and Miss Stack are illustra-
lions of the fact that 1t pays a woman

are proving that they are of use In
war as in peace.
The headquarters of the American
women nurses will be at Osaka, ia
pan but they will go wherever they
are needed in Korea or Manchuria.
There will be work enough and more
than enough for all who can go. The
number is limited by the fund sub
scribed to maintain them, for the
whole enterprise is a volunteer affair.",
supported by the contributions OF
American women and some men. No
pay is attached to the work. After
the ladies reach Japan the government
of that country will give them supplies
and transportation, but no wages.
DR.. MCGEE herself is an example OF
that remarkable feminine American
versatility which too often results IN
the mere scattering and wasting of no.
BILE natural endowments. In her case,
however, this is not the result. She is
the daughter of the famous astronomer,
Professor Simon Newcomb. She has
taken courses of instruction in Newn-
ham college, Cambridge, England, and
In the University of Geneva, Switzer-
land. Her medical education was OBJ
tanned at the Columbian university and

During the var with Spain the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
through DIR. Anita Newcomb MCGEE,
their surgeon general, offered to the
United States government a corps of
trained women nurses for service in
army hospitals. This would release
for active fighting a corresponding
number of enlisted men.
The offer was accepted. DR.. MCGEE.
who lived in Washington. was appoint
ed examining surgeon to pronounce
on the qualifications of the women
who volunteered for army work. To
give the stamp of authority to her she
was made a regular acting assistant
surgeon of the United States army,
being the first woman to hold such a
post in the army of any country. From
first to last several thousand trained
women nurses passed under her eye.
She organized an actual working corps
of 1000 of these, a number of whom
accompanied our armies to Cuba, to
Porto Rico and the Philippines and did
service unsurpassed in the hospitals
among both sick and wounded. For
one, Miss Alice Kemmer of Indiana
received special honorable mention for
work in the Philippines. From the
Philippines she accompanied the army
to China during the Boxer uprising of
1900 and there. too, distinguished her.
self.
The experiment of women army
nurses was so satisfactory that it re-
suited in the appointment of a perma-
nent corps of such nurses for the regu-
lar military establishment. These are
we'll paid, receiving $50 a month and
residence quarters. They have a
months %furlough every year.
At the close of the Spanish-American
war and the subsequent Filipino insur-
rection many of the army nurses, being
no longer needed, were mustered out.
DR.. Anita Newcomb MCGEE herself re-
tired to private life and took up once
more the sociological and scientific
studies In which both herself and her
husband are interested.
When the probability of war be-
tween Japan and Russia became al
most a certainty DR.. Anita Newcomb
MCGEE resolved to gather a number of
her experienced Spanish-American wo-
men war nurses and offer the services
of them and herself to the Japanese
government. 1t was a most humane
move, as we'll as for the Japanese an
enlightening one. They did not have
women army nurses, although there
is a Japanese Red Cross organization.
