RED CROSS NOTES

Another urgent appeal for regis
tratiOn of more nurses was issued
March p, by Miss Mary NJ. Roberts,
director Of nursing, Lake Division,
American Red Cross. The appeal
was made in response TO Surgeon
General Gorgas' recent request that
the Red Cross supply 5000 nurses
before June 1, for service in the
American military hospitals in the
United States and abroad.
More than 1000 nurses have
been enrolled by the Red Cross
since the United States became a
participant in the war, but as the
war progresses, the imperative need
for greater army of nurses grows
daily. ..-. .cs-
An earnest appeal is made to the
registered nurses of Ohio, Indiana,
and Kentucky TO volunteer for this
service. We also appeal to the pub
lie and to the physicians employing
these nurses to make it possible for
them, without too great a sacrifice,
to hold themselves in readiness tn
respond TO the call of their country.
I'VE also wish TO bring TO the at
tention of nurses the unusual OPP
portunites offered by the War Risk
Insurance Law. The provisions of
this bill apply equally to nurses as
signed to duty as members of the
Army and Navy Nurse Corps and
make it possible for the nurse to
secure, at nominal rates, protection
for herself as well as for designated
members of her family dependent
upon her.
"A great responsibility rests up
on the nurses Of the country. They
are the only group of women rec
Ognized as a part of the military
establishment. While thousands of
nurses will be needed, the number
is relatively small compared with
the unmber of women in America
who should stand back of them and
make possible the service for which
they are so greatly needed.
mo finer patriotic service can
be rendered by well educated
young women anywhere, than that
of the students in schools for nurses
who are definitely preparing for the
larger professional field of the grad
uate nurse"

DISTANCE DwARFs THE FRAY

Has u ever occurred 10 you what
might happen were the Flanders
front defenses to crack beneath the
pressure Of the promised German
driver What would become o.
France and Of the Allied forces
there now? What would be- the
fate ~ our army?
And where the next front line
trenches might ultimately be?
II is possible that even were the
worst to come and the Germans
were 10 break through they might
still be held and the allied forces
saved from humiliation and cap
ture. And 81 long as the combined
allied fleets controlled the seas
Germany would be powerless TO at
tack our shores.
But IL the Germans break through
on the western front they are al
most certain 10 risk everything in
a naval way upon a last clash with
Englands fleet And should they by
any chance be victorious the next
move would be against America di-
rect Victory like this would make
them madmen in truth.
Distance dwarfs the fray over
there for America. II is incompre-
hensible i'm all its ruthless horror
and suffering So far away. We do
not mentally grasp its magnitude.
Much less can we visualize il. how
ever much we read. No man has
yet adequately described it.
But we all know that we have no
desire for a German front along the
Alleghenies. We want no invading
German hordes upon American soil.
We want this war To be fought out
in Europe.
And America must do its bit 10
the utmost. both in men and money.
II is up 10 us stay-at-homes to
furnish the money.
To buy Liberty Bonds.
