NEW SOLDIER
IS HEARD FROM
THREE IN FIRST CONTINGENT
HAVE DONE WELL IN
CANTONMENT

Goldfield's first contingent to leave
for American Lake has done well
since arrival there, according to a
Letter received from Bernard Gaff-
ney, one of the contingent of three.
He states that he is now a clerk
doing stenographic work in a divi-
sion quartermaster's office, that
Bob Dobro is a mess sergeant and
that Krsto Mijuskovich of Millers, a
Serbian veteran of the first Balkan
was, is a corporal. Some of the
Tonopah boys have been appointed
corporals and Evershaw of Tono-
pas is assistant mess sergeant.
The contingents from Tonopah
and Goldfield are in barracks with
soldiers from Montana and Idaho.
Gaffney's letter was written on
Sept. IS and he says, Went up for
final examination today and also to
the shooting gallery for %vaccina-
tion." He says he wrote the let
ter on a saggy table in q Y. M. c.
A. tent, with a piano playing in a
corner. He fails to relate which
bothered him the most, but he is
confident the equipment will be i'm
proved in time. On the previous
evening he attended the dedication
of the first of seven Y. M. c. A.
buildings.
For some reason Sept. IS was a
big day for the new soldier, as on
that day he had the first opportun-
ity to write, was vaccinated and re-
ceived shirts, underwear, hats and
shoes from the government. He
says, they were some shoes too"
He is in general enthusiastic. In
describing the cantonment he
writes, Say, you should see this
camp. The barracks are 40 feet
long, 35 to 40 wide, in rows of five,
with a lavatory and bath for each.
There is a big parade ground in the
center almost as level as the desert.
We are about two miles from Amer
lean Lake, swimming, boating and
dancing. We have an exchange
for each regiment, where soft
drinks, cakes, cigars and sundries
may be bought"
In telling of his trip to American
Lake he speaks of the greeting &C
corded the local boys on their ar
rival in Tonopah. He was pleased
with the greeting, but what really
tickled him was the lunch furnish
ed the Nye county contingent
by the Tonopah Ambulance Relief
and which the Nye county boys
shared with the three from Es-
meralda. He says, You should
have seer eaten and enjoyed it.
We fed the train crew and our
selves and had plenty left over All
kinds of sandwiches, fruit and six
bottles of punch"
The boys were met at Reno by
Adjutant General Maurice Cnllivan,
who provided a big time for them
Gaffncy says he and Maurice
called each other by their first
lanes.
OF the trip to the lake he says:
1--WE sure had some fun on the
way" They arrived at the same
time as nine carloads of CalifOr-
mans.

dump, which is of good average
grade and can be sweetened ma
terially with ore from the mine. In
it's present shape the enterprise
bears every indication Of assured
success. The value of the ore in the

opment work, while in preparing
for it's treatment nothing has been
left to chance or experiment.

RED CROSS
Requirements for Nurses Modified tc
Increase Available Supply

Fifteen thousand nurses have al
ready been enrolled by the American
Rcd Cross. many Of whom have vol
untcered for war service, according to
a statement just made public at the
Red Cross headquarters. About 2000
have already been sent to Europe. 1t
is estimated that the present registered
force is sufficient to care for an army
Of 100, 900, and approximately 1000
nurses are added monthly.
The importance Of urging able and
educated young women to enter the
regular training schools and take the
usual course in order to fit themselves
fully for nursing. has been shown by
Miss Jane A. Delano. chairman Of the
national committee on nursing serv-
ice.
Tie National committee is also en-
rollins public health nurses with a
view to protecting them from service
as bedside nurses where their special
training would not be fully utilized.
The Red Cross requirements for nurses
have been somewhat modified in order
that, if needed, thousands Of addition
al nurses may be eligible for enroll
ment with the American Red Cross
and available for call should the ne
cessity arise.
The principal change contemplated
is to reduce the lower age limit for
specially qualified nurses and to place
on the eligible list training schools for
nurses which are Recommended by
state boards of registration" even
though the schools have a daily aver
I,ay t1on
ed 30 patients.
In order to increase further the
available supply Of nurses the schools
for nurses giving q three year course
may be reque-ted to advance the date
of graduation Of pupil-nurses, perhaps
to the end Of their second year of
study. should the eHigoncies Of war
make such action seem desirable.
