Report of American Red
Cross War Council Says
10000 Nurses Have
Been Enrolled.
Over Half of These Have Been
Sent Abroad 5000 More
Nurses Needed to Care
For Army Alone.


In a report just issued the Ameri-
can Red Cross War Council states
that 10000 nurses have been enrolled
by the Department of Nursing of the
Red Cross to October l. More than
1900 of these are serving soldiers
and sailors, half of this number al
ready being on duty overseas. About
5000 of those in service with our
forces here and abroad are with the
army. Seven hundred nurses, wo-
men, have been assigned to the Fed
eral Public Health Bureau or to the
Red Cross service in the United
States and the remaining 10000 in
clude those not available or eligible
for active service, but who may be
utilized for home defense work.
About 5000 additional nurses will
be needed by the army alone before
the first Of the year, according to
the report. Should the war con-
tinue on its present scale, it is esti-
mated that the total number Of
nurses required in the military hos
pitaLs here and abroad by next July
will be $4,000. These estimates,
the report states, are based on an
army of 100000 and a navy Of
350,O00 or approximately one nurse
to each IA of the military and naval
population.
To meet the nursing requirements
of the coming year a campaign will
soon be inaugurated in which each
state will receive an allotment, a
duplication Of The pR Rn by which
thousands of nurses were enrolled
during the past summer The de-
partment of nursing of the Red
Cross is the reserve for the Army
and Navy Nurse orps.
The Red Cross has spent about
$S50,00O in equipping nurses as
signed to duty abroad. Approx
mately S1,500,000 of an appropri.
alton of S1,719,357 has been ex-
pended in equipping base hospital
units. The organization has fur
nished SO of these units and assist
ed the Army and Nurse Corps in
two others for the army
since our entrance into the war.
For the navy it has organized or
is completing the organization Of
eight base hospital and seventeen
naval station hospital units. Each
base hospital unit has so beds and
so nurses. Originally planned to
cost about $4,000 they now cost
about $4,000 In-sddition to it's
war service the Red Cross depart
nent of nursing is continuing it's
'egular health work in this country.
It is supplying nurses at points
where contagious diseases appear

,ent activity along this line being
