INTEREST IN CAMPAIGN
FOR STUDENT NURSES
Mrs. Daniel 3. Weeks, in Charge Of
Local Recruiting, Receiving Many
Letters Regarding the Movement

A good deal of interest and en-
thusiasm is being shown in the cam
paign which opened Monday, July 80,
to secure women to take up nursing
as a profession and to recruit stu
dents for the civilian training schools
and the Army School Of Nursing. and
Mrs. Daniel B. Weeks, directress Of
nursing, Augusta Red Cross Chapter,
who is in charge of the local recruit
ing, is receiving letters every day
from women in different parts of The
State regarding this campaign. The
drive will continue until the evening
of Aug. II.
Mrs Weeks made a strong point IF
the fact that the women should ic
told that the most patriotic thing
they can do is to start in training ut
once. There are no half way meas
ures: each woman must take the full
three yeas of training. Each wo-
man who enters the field releases a
nurse higher up until a graduate
nurse is released for Red Cross serv-
ice. That is how each women enter
ing the nursing profession is doing
her bit. She herself may not be able
to be a Red Cross nurse, but she is
making it possible for one who can
fill the requirements to join the col
ors. Every pupil nurse in train
ing school is doing a very definite
piece of war work, for the larger the
training school in any hospital, tho
smaller the graduate staff of nurses.
The age requirements for nurses
IN the military hospitals arc u to 81,
but in the civil hospitals they are Of
ten tai en- younger, sometimes as
young as IS years. There are mill
tary hospitals at Camp Devens and
at Washington. D. c.. but the mum
Der of student nurses in each is linn
tied. The course consists of Anat-
omy. Physiology and Materia Medica,
and lectures by the physicians on the
staff.
There is a big demand for nurses
aids. They receive their board.
transportation and a small salary, the
maximum being s25 per month.
Women to be eligible as nurses aids
must take the fun course in Home
Nursing which it is hoped can be
given here in Augusta soon. Fur
Their information will be given out as
soon as il is received from Boston.

Turkey to Handle

According to Own Ideas

Amsterdam, July 3o-Turkey is
going to handle the situation in the
Caucasus, according to her own
ideas This is indicated in a telegram
from Constantinople dated July %,

US than to take into consideration

This attitude on the part OF Tur-
kew may. account in part for the re-
port received through Copenhagen
that Turkey and Germany had sew
cred relations.
Early this month it was reported
through Washington that Germany
was becoming alarbed .over the ag-
gressive territorial tendencies of her
allies, especially Turkey. Several
weeks earlier it had been reported
that Germany had ordered Turkey
to stop her advance in the eastern
Caucasus. Almost simultaneously an
nouncement came from Berlin that
German troops had been landed at
Petit, on the Black sea coast. an i'm
