REMARKABLE ONE

North Dakota has sent a total Of
| 112 nurses into war service. ..- &.
On June 80, 1918. there were 400
registered nurses in North Dakota.
This number has perhaps been
slightly increased since that time,
but the showing made is a remark
able one.
Our work is just beginning"
said Harry Curran Wilbur, executive
secretary Of the North Dakota Red
Cross today. North Dakota is ex-
pected to furnish 10 nurses a week
for a total Of eightNweeks., Two left
Fargo Sunday night for duty, and
their names will be announced just
as soon as we are certain whether
one or two others whose applica-
tons are pending will be able to join
them.
THE drive for nurses is on, and
before it is concluded we proposed
to know where every graduate nurse
in. North Dakota is, whether regis
tered or not, and to know why she
has failed to enroll with the Red
Cross for this service Of ministering
to our soldiers and sailors.
Want Trained Nurses.
There is some confusion in the
paign. We ara seeking graduate
and registered nurses. The recent
campaign to secure student nurses,
conducted by the woman's COM
mittee of the Council of National
Defense, was a campaign to enroll
young women who would agree to
take nurses course. This campaign
which is Red Cross campaign
direct, is to secure the graduate
nurses, both registered and non
registered, who are competent to go
on active duty.
"It is the policy Of the war de-
partment to assign nurses to SER
vice for few weeks in the canton
ments in this country before send
ing them abroad. This should be
remembered in studying the fol-
lowing list of North Dakota nurses
who have enrolled and been assign
ed to duty, the list showing the
place where they entered service"
