as much a crime to assert charges

AMATEUR NURSES
-. ARE Bo7nERS0Mf
Professional Trained Nurses Pro-
test Against Their 81
Retention.

London, Dec. 29.-'Too sick to be
nursed today" a placard, said to have
been placed over the bedstead of a
soldier wounded in the South African
campaign, is much needed in British
hospitals now, according to the Ma
tional Council Of Trained Nurses,
which has sent to Lord Kitchener a
protest against the employment of in
competent nurses. In acknowledge
ment of the resolution, the secretary
Of war asked the council to submit
evidence in support of its Gnrges,
and a report on the matter is expect
ed shortly.
The professional trained nurses are
complaining that young women Of
means and social influence, attracted
by the sentimental side of nursing at
the front, have stormed the hospitals
and have in many cases obtained posi-
lions Notwithstanding that they knew
nothing of the work. IF Lord Kitch-
ener had asked for 500, 900 nurses to
enlist for service instead of for 500,-
600 men," said a trained nurse. che
would have had the number the next
morning.
Such being the case according to
the allegations of the nurses, council,
the rush of amateurs has pushed
aside the competent Veatly. to the
misfortune of the wounded Tommy
who has o submit to "fussing" and
petting at the hands of pretty untrain-
ed girls, which, while sentimentally
appealing does not go. very far to-
ward ministering to his real needs.
The agitation against the incompe-
tent nurse was raised early in the
war, but only just now have the Or
ganized nurses, numbering ON six
thousand, brought the matter official
ly to the attention of the war office.
Lord Knutsford in a letter to the
Times, rather %humorously stated
what he c%onsideres the chief objection
to come of the "untrained nurses
who have got abroad. They would
give less ~offense, he said, if
They were not photographed so Of
ten;
And would wear their uniforms
more modestly;
And would talk less in public about
their patients;
And would be a little more humble
and les S aggressive.

1t was tiny garden. a mere square.

fig tree and some rows of bachelor
buttons. Squatting comfortably in
one corner of fine grounds, it was shut
from them by a stone wall almost con-
cealed by screen of vines. AT it's
back the foothills rose in unexpected
activities. in haste, apparently. to
meet the mountains which dropped
from ragged peaks gradually down
to rounded. blush outlines
The old lady who spent a part of
each day in the garden knew every
| rock and burro path from base to
summit, and as far as her eyes could
reach to either right or left. Often
she spent hours watching a rider toll

and sometimes in sheer loneliness she
turned the seat under the fig tree to
face the bay. and sazed at the swarm
