BAKER APPEALS FOR NURSES
Calls Upon Public, Hospitals and
Training Schools to Cooperate
With Red Cross.

Washington, June 5.-Secretary OF
War Baker in following statement
through American Red Cross, calls up
on general public, civilian hospitals
and training schools TO cooperate ac-
lively TO insure ample supply of mill
tary nurses.
THE greatest humanitarian duty
which we owe to our army once it has
been armed, sheltered, clothed and
transported Is to conserve its health
and vitality and bind up the wounds
which unhapply but inevitably must
come To it. That this service may be
performed most effectively and most
speedily, II is necessary that hospitals
continue their cooperation in releas-
ing to paramount military service
whatever members of their Staffs may
be spared without peril TO their Glen
tclc, that training schools continue to
adapt themselves To increasing the
numbers of students; that civil COM
munitieS be more and more watchful
in enforcement and promotion of meas
ures for safeguarding the public health;
that individuals that have been used to
employing private duty nurses in their
homes should rely whenever possible
upon hospital and visiting nurses
agencies which permit one nurse to
care for a number of patients. Only
by such consistent and concentrating
cycle of effort shall we be able to send
nm adequate supply of trained and
equipped nurses to our environments
ana base hospitals and at the same
time guard the well-being of the civil
nnuulutiou"

"On the 9th of June, 1917, just one

the most memorable events in the his
tory of democratic institutions.
con that day 100000 self-gov-
erned young Americans marched quiet

heard around the world, registered
their invincible determination to pre-
serve for themselves and their poster
ity the blessings of the liberty with
which they have been so richly en-
dowed.
"a year has passed. Many of these
men are now on the battlehelds of

echo when 100000 more will rally to
their support.

"The nation is engaged in strug-

of those who remain at home is being
directed, more closely every day, to-
ward the accomplishment of the
things upon which our armies must de-
pend and without which success is i'm
possible.
every American must do his duty
in this great crisis, even though he re-
mains at home. Those who are of
such an age and condition in life that
they may, without detriment to the
economic support of the army, active

envy on the European battletields are
indeed privileged.
Most of the men who register to-
morrow viii he so classified, and |
have no hesitancy in predicting that
their services will win for them the
undying affection of a proud and
grateful nation"
