NATION WIDE
CAMPAIGN
For 10000 Graduate Nurse.
For the Army and Navy
Nursing Corps
DRIVE BEGAN TODAY

Purpose Of Red Cross Nurses
Drive, beginning June 3rd:
To enroll 10000 graduate nurses
for the army and navy nurse corps
for which the Red Cross is the prin-
ciple recruiting agency.
To enroll married and retired
nurses for part or full time service
in local hospitals, dispensaries, Wis
iting nursing and public health
nursing.
To encourage women to become
student nurses in military and CIV
ilian training schools.
70 conserve nurses by discour-
againg unnecessary private use of
those who remain.
Seeking now Americas bravest
womanhood to help win the war,
the American Red Cross today
(Monday, June 3rd) begins its ma
tion wide campaign to enroll more
than twenty thousand graduate
nurses needed for army and navy
hospitals here and abroad. In ad-
dition, the Red Cross will endeavor
to enroll many nurses not eligible
for military service for hospitals,
visiting and public health nursing
among civilians. To maintain the
supply of nurses, young women will
be encouraged to become student
nurses in the army school of nurs-
ing and in civil hospitals. The gen.
eral public will be asked to help
conserve nursing skill by not en-
ploying Individual nurses unnecessa-|
rily and by utilizing hospitals and
visiting nurses. wherever possible.
More than ten thousand Red
Cross nurses have been assigned
during the first year of the war by
the Red Cross to our army and navy
nurse corps, the largest nursing
force probably ever mobilized for
any army.
The additional twenty thousand
nurses, fifteen thousand of whom
are needed for the army by January
1, 1919, are to be sought among the
$4,000 registered nurses
who have not yet volunteered for
service.
There has never been a surplus
Of trained nurses and with more
than thirty thousand quickly to be
withdrawn from civilian practice,
the Red Cross realizes the import
ance of replacing them as rapidly as
possible. It, therefore, will call
upon all married nurses or retired
nurses and all ineligible for army
service to enroll at least for part
time public service in local hos
Ditals, dispensaries, baby saving
stations, visiting nursing and pub
lie health, school and county nurs-
ing. =
Employment of a nurse merely
to care for one patient is to be dis
couraged and the sick will be d.
rected to hospitals and the use Of
visiting nurses which will enable
each remaining nurse to distribute
her skill among several families.

PRESENCE SUBMARINES
OFF ATLANTIC PORTS
open at 1885 today.

The strength of Gen. Foch's re-
serves has been felt by the armies
OF the German Crown Prince in the
Battle for Paris.'
East of the line running from
scissors to Chateau Thierry where
the Germans Saturday in continua-
ton OF t'A;ir mighty strokes gained
several additional villages and then
attempted to proceed further west
ward. Magnificent opposition was
imposed by the newly strengthened
lines, and with terrific smashes, the
French forces recaptured Longpont,
Corey, Favorlles and Troesnes, want
age points in the center of the line
leading to the forest of Villers Cot
tenets, which seems to be the pres
ent objective here of the enemy.
The Germans, however, still have
in their possession the village Of
Vaurezis, lying to the west of Sois-
sons and further south of Saconin
Et Breuil, Chaudun, Licy and Bour-
esches, the last named directly west
Of Chateau Thierry. A little to the
southwest of Chateau Thierry the
enemy has reached the Marne.
Nowhere has there been any at.
tempted by the invaders to cross the
river and at all points, east of Cha
teau Thierry they are hugging the
northern bank Of the stream. It is
not improbable, however, that the
tactics of the Germans have in view
the fording of the river when the
time is more proptitious for in the
center of the line between Chateau
Thierry and Rheims they have push
ed back the allied front across tho
Rheims-Dormans road between Oil
zy-Violaneand Vile En- Tardenois
and are pressing onward toward the
Marne.
This is the only point on their left
wing, however, where the enemy has
been able to make fresh gains, not.
the fact that he has
thrown new divisions into the battle |
some of them the best trained, troops
in the German army. Having failed
in all their efforts to conquer Rheims
by direct assault, 1t now seems to be
he intention the Germans further
20 widen their occupation of the ter
.ory lying south of the Rheims Dor
mans road and thereby outfank the
,hedral city and bring about it's cap
tulation. In the fighting in the i'm
vicinity of Rheims the ene-
ny won Fort De La Pompelle but

THE DRAIN
Of MANPOWER
Through Sickness and Under.
feeding as Well as Destruc-
ton by War Fearful
IN THE CENTRAL POWERS

London, June 2.-The drain OF
manpower, the fall in the number OF
births and the loss of the population
through sickness and underbreeding
is felt more severely by the Central
| Powers than by the people Of the
| Entente. Whereas the annual gam
of population in Germany, in Aus
tria and in Hungary has given place
to serious loss the people of the
Entente have suffered a very small
dimunition in comparison.
Great Britains total population
has so far remained at about the
same figure, gains balancing losses.
The rate of increase in the United
States has not been affected at all.
AS the war goes on, this growing
disparity in the losses Of population
between the Central Powers and the
peoples fighting them is likely to in
crease. II the war goes on into
next year the population Of the Ger
man Empire, on which reliance was
placed for the enlargement Of Ger
many's prosperity and industry and
for repairing the injury to trade and
commerce after the war, will have
lost ten per cent of the numbers and
a still gleater proportion of its in
dustrial strength.
The German empire, which IN
June, 1919, should have had seven
ty-two millions of people, will have
no more than sixty-four and a half
millions. Germany as a whole will
have five per cent less population
than when the war begun. OF those
that have been killed the greater
number We're men in the prime Of
life and energy, whom Germany
could lease spare. BY deaths in the
battle zone the German empire has
lost at least three million men. The
birth rate has sunk to such a figure
that by next year the number Of
births will have fallen short of what
they would been had there hsen NO
war by three and third million Of
children.
In the same period the annual
number of deaths among the German
civilian population has, owing to tho
stress and anxiety of the war and
owing to sickness and disease which
have been aggravated by hardships
and food troubles, increased by one
million over the normal. But this II
perhaps to be regarded merely -
wedding and no great biological loss.
Much of the mortality among chill
dren and among the civilian popula-
tion as whole has been caused BY
the way in which the food supply OF
Germany has been mismanaged In
the interest of the landholders and
of the farming class and to the det-
riment of the poor The land hold
ers and farmers have prospered
while the poor in the towns have
gone short of bread and potatoes.
On the other hand because of the
liberal separation allowance and the
high wages the vital conditions Of
the working classes in Great Britain
have heen greater since the war than
when the war began. BY next year
the German empire will be 7,O25,000
lower in population than it would
have been had war not taken place.

tive Of each county's type of agri-
culture, and proportioned according
to the discretion of the county
agent. ..t

bear all expenses Of setting up ex-
hibits, including agents expenses,
freight, drayage, etc., the cost to be
limited to $50 per county. The fair
association will furnish drays and

New York E. O. S. June g.
One steamer and one schooner and
two or three other vessels were sunk
off the Jersey coast by German sub
marines. The ships were attacked
and sunk during the night according
to reports received here. The de-
tails are not Immediately available.
The port authorities barred out
going vessels before noon. 1t is fear
ed here that the submarine or sub
marines have sunk more than this
number. 1t is believed that the en-
emy vessels vessels are being dealt
with by American destroyers.
One of the ships sunk was the Ed
ward Cole, a sailing vessASA 1t was
asserted in shipping circles that as
many as six additional vessels were
destroyed in addition to those al
ready reported.
Rumors of the presence of sub
marines off the American coast have
been current for the past two weeks.
Telegraphic reports are to the effecl
that one or two have been seen in
Southern waters. ,.......
The attack on an American ship
almost at the very gate of American
ports s taken to mean that Germany
has at last decided to stop If possi-
Bile the sending of transports across
the ocean to France.
The information received here
based on rumors would lead to the
belief that as many as Is vessels
have been sunk.
