Judging the temper of the lobby

When the armies settled down into

THE NEED OF NURSES
Strong Appeal to tho Young Women Of
America.

Strong Appeal to tho Young Women Of
America.
The importance of the enrolment of
nurses in the Red Cross nursing SER
vice Is being stressed at present by all
who are familiar with the needs OF the
situation, and no appeal that has been
made Is stronger than that sent out by
Miss Clara d. Noyes, president Of the
American Nurses association and d.
recs6f Sr bureau 81 Held service
department Of nursing of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, who addresses nurses
as follows:
I'VE nurses are the only women who
have been trained for the incredibly
great task to which we are called by
our government. We are the only wo-
men whom the government permits TO
20 with our army and navy. We are
the only women to carry on our glori-
Gus tradition.
| There Is an important duty-a du-
ty definite and vital-for every wo-
man in this country who has had a
| nurses training. This may not be u
change of duty; it may not be immedi-
ate military service. But II Is an obli-
CATION on every nurse that she be en-
rolled in such a way that her services
may be known and that she may be
within communication. Enroll now in
the Red Cross nursing service!"
Miss Mary F. Beard. president of the
National Organization for Public
Health Nursing, also appeals rs fol-
lows to the members of her associa-
| tion:
| "The time has come for every nurse
in the country to enroll in the Red
Cross. There Is now an imperative
need for hundreds OF nurses to care for
our soldiers and sailors and every
member OF the organization OF public
health nurses should do her utmost.
The Red Cross recognizes teachers and
public health nurses as indispensable
for home defense. AS members OF the
American Red Cross, line up for home

To these direct appeals to nurses,
Mrs. Mary &. c. Bradford, president OF
the National Education association,
adds her voice in q call to high school
graduates to enter training schools for
nurses in June, part Of which follows:
High school graduates can perform
no greater service than by entering
training schools for nurses immediate
ly upon the close Of the school year.
The crusaders Of today are the men
and women who are fighting to defeat
barbarism and to save the world to ci-
vilization. The hosts of nurses behind
the line and in camps and hopitals
must be regarded as the sacred corps
OF the grand army Of humanity.
"Girls Of America, join the crusade!
Victory may depend on the successful
enlistment Of large nursing army. BE
of 1t. Help to lead 1t. Say in the name
Of the schools of America, They shall
not pass

cation association 1t will make me glad
and proud to know that the nurses
produced by public school training are
rallying to the cause Of liberty by
answering this first call to service"

There Is absolutely no friction be-
tween the white and the negro SOL
diers: but during recreation hours
each goes his way the same as they
were wont to do in civil life. On the
intcrurban cars between the camp and
the city Of Grccnville. the colorcd
troops occupy the rear seats and IL
the trains are very crowded they oc-
cupy none at all. If they prefer TO
travel to town by automobile transfer.
they ride in automobiles all of whose
occupants are negroes.
There Is no crowding or jostling on
the streets or public places, no Josh
ing" and no pickering. On the whole.
while they don't say so in as many
words. perhaps the whites are rather
proud Of their colorcd brothers in
arms and are quite sure that they can
be counted upon to do their duty any
time and anywhere.
The negroes show the utmost pride
in the care they take of their uniforms
and other cquipagc. Their clothes are
always clean and pressed, their shoes
shined and in almost every instance
the negro soldier assumes the bear
ing and carriage OF soldier as quick
ly II not more quickly than the white
soldier.
Let a commissioned officer approach
a group of negroes who chance to be
standing at ease talking and laughing
and chatting. One OF their number
chances to notice his approach.
"Shun." he calls.
There IL an instant clicking Of heels,
n stiffening of bodies. n lightcninglike
movement Of right arms at an angle of
forty-flve degrees with the tips OF the
fingers resting over the right eye.
There is a swapping Of Jaws along
with the swapping Of heels. because
mouths must be closed.
The officer returns the salute and
passes on and the negro soldiers are at
case again.
Oh. they have the "click" all right.
