"Cortezl Who, then, is he to be a

LIKES THE AMERICAN NURSES
Anna Held, the Great French Actress,
Says They are Doing Splendid
Work in War.

Kansas City, Feb. 5.-Anna Held,
the famous French actress, who heads
the program at the Orpheum theater
next week, had this to say when asked
about the American girl nurses in the
war hospitals of Europe:
They do their work with most
admirable spirit before they leave
if they do leave. Their nimble fingers
as well as their warm hearts and pref
ty, smiling faces have made them we'll
nigh indispensable.
Useless? If you could but see
them removing the socks from the
frozen feet of wounded soldiers whom
the auto ambulances have brought in
from the trench fighting at the front
you would admit with me that they
play a vital part. Often the skin
comes of with the socks. Ugh! And
troublesome wounds develop gangrene.
Is it not a test of these sweet little
girl nurses that they cleanse such
wounds without f1inching? All, know
of what 1 speak, for it was but a few
weeks ago that. 1 was in Paris.
Miss Held will tell of the things she
saw in Europe at a luncheon of the
public affairs committee of the Com
merciaI Club at the Hotel Baltimore
