COMPROMISE WITH U. S.
tA.sssi.t.d rr,ss bv RADICAL wirslsssl

LONDON, England, Feb. s.-There
is general impression In newspaper
circles here that Germany is prepar.
ing to meet the demands of the Unit
ed States government by at least q
partial concession in order to avert
open hostilities. II is reported indeed
that the Wilhelmstrasse officials have
been Ct work preparing an outline OF
overtures TO the United States which
shall contain the opening wedge Of a
compromise on the war zone policy.
The only discoverable ground for
this impression. which, as has been
said. is widespread among a class OF
men who are generally well Informed,
is that Germany is reported to have
offered to Holland and the Scandina-
Wan nations some concessions" re-
garding ships bearing mall and food
for German ports. Even this last re.
port il not fully substantiated.

Miss Jane A. Dclano, Chairman of
the Nursing Committee, said today
that the general scheme of unit or
ganlZatlon was to keep together
groups of nurses and doctors with eX-
periencc in the same training schools
and hospitals. Base hospital units
for the Army and the Navy have
been recruited from Alumnae of the
Schools connected with the largest
hospitals in the country, in groups of
20, 90, 65 and 100.
Besides the base hospital units the
Red Cross has established units of
nurses for emergency use. Such a
hospital unit consists of one doctor
and twenty-five nurses.
Specially trained nurses are being
held in readiness for work in units
devoted to pediatrics, orthopcdics,
mental diseases and public hath.
In FAINT Welfare nurses have al
ready been sent to France and to
Roumania. Plans are also under way
for special unit of nurses trained
in the care of mental diseases to
serve in the mental wards of the
hospitals established at the thirty
two Army cantonments. Units in
orthopcdics are being prepared to
meet the needs of the manned in the
reconstruction hospitals.
In the civil zones surrounding the
training camps and environments and
the naval bases, fifty public health
nurses have been assigned to work
under the Red Cross Sanitary direct
ors. Ninety-five Red Cross nurses in
the Town and Country Nursing Ser

selection of an actual date is under
discussion.
16 Weeks Training.
The plans of the general staff fol-
the handling of the first draft have
been completed. 1t is braodly limited
that some of the drafted men will
receive not more than 16 weeks
training before they are moved to
embarkation camps, formed into skel-
eton divisions and sent to France.
AS soon as they are moved from
the training camps the war depart
ment desires that the second draft
shall be ready to move in. Within
the last week the calling up Of more
conscfipts has been so widely discus
scd that where at first it was be-
lieved there would be no second call
until spring, little surprise now would
be occasioned by a draft before
Christmas. This does not mean that
the men actually will be called from
their homes, but that a date for the
second draft will be announced by
that time. The actual mobilization
probably will not take place until
March or April.
1t is also indicated that instead of
calling out 100000 or more men, the
limit allowed under the existing law
of 100000, with the necessary re-
serves, the next draft will be for
hardly more than 100000 and will be
followed by series of similar "small
drafts" designed to refill the canton
ments as rapidly as the forces now
under training there are moved. In
order to expedite the training of the
men regulars and national guard are
to be sent to the na:ional army
camps to assist in the work.
