work results from Mondays labors as

WOMEN HONORED
BY KING ALBERT
(By Associated Press.)

DUNKIRK, France, April 24.King
Albert of Belgium has presented the
Order of Leopold II. to three nurses of
the Englisr Red Cross contingent for
bravery under fire in rescuing several
wounded Belgians from the trenches.
The names of the three nurses are:
Miss Muriel Thompson, Miss Margaret
Waite, Sister Mary White.
The three nurses had gone up to the
rear line of trenches during a period
of quiet, and were asked by an officer
to go to the front trenches to assist a
slightly injured soldier. While they
were in the front trenches there came
sudden artillery attack by the enemy
and several Belgians were killed and
wounded. An officer ordered the three
nurses to go back to safety at oneA,
but they refused to go until they hal
attended to some of the wounded who
were near them. They found stretch
er, and with the aid of a man, carried
two of the wounded back to safety un-
der heavy fire.
King Albert, in pinning the decora-
tions on the three, made short speech
paying high tribute to the work be-
ing done by women in the present war.
