False Rumors

Another German pmpaEandist in

loyal Americans.
It is to the efrec, that the clothing
recently collected for distribufiou In
Belgium and occupied France. and the
food that the United States food ad-
ministration lis purchasing for the peo-
pie OF those sections. will fall niti-
mately into German hands.

Canvass for Nurses

Have you a nurse In your family?
The government wants to know.
All Red Cross chapters in this terri
tory and other parts of the state have
been instructed to conduct a survey or
census of nurses, through a house-to-
house canvass. This survey, which
will occupy the week of October 20,
will be undertaken at the instance of
the secretary of war and the surgeon
general of the United States army.
The questionable system will be en-
pfoyed TO gather the necessary data.
The nurse survey has double pur-
pose While primarily intended as
means of directing a proper with
drzwai of nurses for army and navy
needs the government also has in
mind the health and general welfare
Of the civilian population. The gov
ernment must have $4,000 nurses by
January 1. In order not to utterly de-
prive the civilian population of the ma
ton of the professional services OF
these women. it becomes necessary to
take stock of all available nurse tim
Der az this time. so that an equable
distribution OF them may be made.
Every nurse is comprehended-
graduate. UNDERGRADUATE. registered.
unregistered. pupil nurses. nurses aids
and the very large number of so-calIed
herhtsrsined nurses. which include
practical nurses. midwives and trained
attendants. A complete classification
of these women will be made. Every
family must cooperate with the Red
Cross nurse survey representatives in
order to make this canvass a success.
The request of the secretary Of war
and the surgeon general amounts to an
order. SO that the Red Cross, as well
as those embraced by the survey. must
do everything possible to provide the
required data and information.
Every Red Cross chapter has been
instructed to appoint a nurse survey
committees to carry out this important
work. ]. C. Arnold OF Denver ia the
Mountain division director.
