be accommodated. The chief nurse

be made In n few days.

been sent to Washington by DR.. Nc
CURE. In the interim between the
present date and the time of depar-

Ing of some description will be given

LITTLE BIT OF RICHMOND
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCEn
The enlisted personnel will consist
of 1853 men. No difficulty is being ex-
perienced in getting enrollments. In
fact, the base hospital officials have
discouraged a too speedy filling up Of
the ranks. More deliberate work means
more judicious selection of material,
and this is the policy adopted.
1t is interesting to realize that the
base hospital will take about $50 peo-
pie abroad. and, in fact, will be a lit
tie piece of Richmond and Virginia
transported to the fighting zone
somewhere in France" perhaps. With
1t will go the hopes and prayers Of
hundreds of homes. as we'll as the in
terest and encouragement Of the en-
tire State. In a way 1t will be lit
tie world to itself. 1t will occupy a
dozen or more buildings. In it's ranks
1t will have represented every profess
sion and every trade SO that 1t may
within itself meet and deal with any
situation that arises. About half the
men will go as orderles or ward at
tendants. The list already includes
numerous college graduates, lawyers,
medical students. pharmacists. expert
stenographers, clerks and others. In
addition to these will be other repre-
senting skilled work Of one sort and
another-such as laboratory techni-
clans. photographers, telegraphers. and
