WHAT THE AMERICAN
WOMAN CAN DO FOR
THE RED CROSS

/. The Professional Woman
Only the very best professional
trained graduate nurses, with known
executive ability, stand any chance
of reaching the base war hospitals
with the first American armies.
The Red Cross now has an enroll
mont sufficient to care for the war
nursing requirements of ala army of
100000.
2. The Non-Professional Won-
an-Volunteer-
Nurses aids are now being select
ed. Their duties are very hard
largely preparation of food in diet
kitchens, food for the hospital staff,
general hospital work.
The aids are being selected from
those possessing certificates in the
Red Cross courses. Many large cities
already have such classes.
Glasses can be started anywhere
by from ten TO twenty women. Write
to the Red Cross Bureau of Nursing
Service, Washington, d. C.
Non-professional women volun-
teers should see officers of their
local chapters for direction and ad-
vice.

Word received from the front today

that n considerable number of Austrian
divisions have been hurriedly with
drawn from the italian front and
transferred back north. Many of
these troops were troops that were
shifted from tie northern fighting line
at the height of General Cadona's Of

man front. At that time the Central
Powers were confident of success of
their separate pence plot and had prac-
tically stopped all fighting on the Rus

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Foes
of conscription hope to bring about
the repeal of the draft law before
the second draft can be levied un-
der it.
To this end a most remarkable
movement has been started-re-
markable in view of the fact that
the country is at war. This move
ment is in the form of a propa-
ganda to overwhelm Congress with
petitions which will carry implica-
tions of political reprisals in case
the statute is not wiped off the
books.
BLATANT MASON THE LEADER.
REPRESENTATIVE William E. Mason or
Illinois is regarded as the leader of the
forces that are seeking to compel the
abolishment of conscription before the
time for a second draft. He announces
that he will introduce the legislation
sought and will fight for repeal or the
draft act on the ground it is unconstitu-
+ionaI to send drafted soldiers to hght
on foreign soil He indicated that a
gigantic propaganda had been organized
back of the repeal resolution.
1rrTERs ACCOMPANY PETITIONS.
