THOUSANDS OF
PEASANTSHELP
CZECH0-SLOVAKS /
Learning Truth of Situation
on Western Front-Ger-
man Reports False.

Washington. Aug. 15.-Russian
peasants are reported in advices
reaching the state department today
to be fl6cking to the standard of the
Czech hSlovaks operating in force
about 500 miles east of Moscow. In
this connection particular significance
is attached here to report that the
Soviet troops have begun the evacua-
ton of Moscow, opening the way for
the Czecho-S -Slovaks and Allied troops
aiding loyal Russians to re-establish
the eastern front on a line much far
ther west than was believed possible.
With the Soviet government ousted
from Moscow the Czecho-Slovaks are
Immediately put in control of the rail-
road lines from Siberia to Moscow
and from Archangel to Moscow. The
peasants reinforcing this army are
just learning the truth about the as
siduously spread German report that
the Allies had been beaten on the west
front as Russia had fallen in the east.
The great mass of Russians, the
government here is informed also, are
just learning of the landing of Allied
troops on the Murman coast and at
Vladivostok and of the recent victor
les of the Allies in France. AS these
facts became known there is a reviva,
of the anti-German spirit among the
Russians and according to reports
reaching Washington-they are flocking
to the ranks of the Czecho-Slovaks in
large numbers.

'slovaks in Danger, Report.

London, Aug. 15.-The. Czecho-
Slovaks in Siberia are in a dangerous
position and are liable to be cut off
altogether. says the correspondent of
the Times at Vladivostok. Only a
fraction of those between the Volga
and Lake Baikal are armed and all
are deficient in every sort of equip
ment. They are cut off from the far
east and it is impossible to learn
what is happening to them. The cor
respondent says there is much appre-
hension concerning them in Vladivo-
stok and adds:
"The Czechs here are pathetically
anxious to push west and assist their
brothers. They are contemplating
desperate measures in order to reach
them but their force is small COM
pared to their opponents, while they
lack most auxiliary equipment and
are deficient even in the essentials.
,sIf it is the Allied intention to hold
the rear while the Czechs do the fight
ing, General Dieterich's small force
might we'll be annihi1ated, but it is in
conceivable that the Allies will refrain
from active cooperation, and that CO.
operation must be on larger scale
than hitherto contemplated"

ICES the urgency of Fastening Allied
action. r Y

AMERICAN WOMEN
ENTER u. S. NURSE CORPS
Over a Thousand Have Enrolled for Serv-
ice and Will Begin Training in
Cantonments in the United
States.

New York, Sept. l9.-In % United
States army camps at widely separated
parts of the country there will arrive to-
day, tomorrow and every few days for
the next several weeks, little groups Of
earnest, purposeful young women. Many
of them are very, very pretty, all are
strong, healthy and well educated, and
all are going to remain with the army
either here or in France for the duration
Of the war
They are student nurses-members of
the first training units of the army
school Of nursing that has been estab-
lished to help solve the problem of nurs-
ing the sick and wounded of the greater
American army that viii be in being
and in action-by next spring. Already
more than 1000 between the ages OF 81
and 50, all graduates of high school or
college, have been accepted in this branch
Of the military service. If the country's
womanhood continues TO respond to the
appeal for student nurses now being sent
broadcast by the Red Cross and the
women's committee Of the council of ma I.
tional defense, there will need to be no
fear az. TO the care that will be given to
any man or boy of ours who lands in
a hospital, say the women leaders.
The army school of nursing, together
with the Red Cross enrolment Of the
civil hospital schools through the United
States student nurse reserve is the an
swer to the great nursing question that
confronted the country when it was de-
cided to put not less than 100000 men
under arms
Figures received here by Miss NJ. Ade-
laide Nutting, professor of nursing and
health at Columbia university, and chair
man of the nursing committee of the
council of national defense, show that
more than 1000 young women had APP
piled to enter the army nurse school by
Sept. 10, and that upwards of 1000 ac-
tually had been enrolled.
The first thousand are beginning their
training by helping to take care Of "cas-
ualties" in the camps TO which the
training units" are attached As soon
as they have reached suitable stage Of
training they may be sent to France, il
it is found necessary to supplement the
force of graduate nurses there. In any
event they will receive two years train
ing in army hospitals and obtain the de-
gree of registered nurse by taking the
third and last year of their course in a
civil hospital.
Interest in this opportunity for women
to help in winning the war is so wide
spread that nearly 10000 letters of in.
quiry have been received by Surgeon
General Gorgas.
Training units of from 80 to 40 stu.
dents each have been assigned now to 10
army camps from Massachusetts, to Cali.
fornia Each unit has a director, an in.
structor in nursing and teaching dieti.
elan, The students receive everything
free and in addition an allowance of SIS
a month. A recreational director sees to
it that they are provided with entertain
ment and sports for their off duty hours

and there are also chaperones available.
The central headquarters of the school is
in the office of the surgeon general at
Washington, D. c. The dean is Miss
Annie VI. Goodrich, the chief inspector of
army nurses. She is assisted by large
staff.
Recruiting to fill the nursing ranks has
only to continue as successful as it has
been, according to the authorities, to
make the country secure both from the
standpoint Of the army's need and that
Of the civil population, Leaders Of the
nursing profession are gratiied both by
the response of graduate nurses for serv-
ice in France and that of students for
duty either in civil or military hospitals
Including the $1,000 already in actual
service, more than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled" in answer to Gen
era Gorgas' plea for $4,000 by Jan. |.
If it becomes necessary to supplement
the graduate nurses abroad with less
completely trained women, it is expected
that sufficient number of the army
nursing school students viii be ready in
time.

A HERO OF WAR INDUSTRY.
Thomas Mason, Skilled in Shipbuilding
Work, Is Dead.

Philadelphia. Sept 20.-A hero of war
industry, Thomas Mason, is dead. Ma
son was hull superintendent of the New
York Shipbuiding corporations plans in
Camden, N j.. and was regarded as one
of the ablest practical shipbuilders in the
country. His latest achievement was the
launching of the collier Tuckahoe 27 days
after the keel had been laid. This feat
he made light Of, declaring such record
was easily beaten
On the occasion of the launching
Charles NJ. Sehwab director general of
war time shipbuilding, presented Mason
a fine watch at the same time making
a speech filled with affection for the lit
tie, spare Englishman who could do
almost miraculous things with ship
workers.
In accepting the present, Mason, drop
ping his his and using homely phrases,
delivered what Mr. Schwab aftefward
declared was one of the best speeches he
had ever listened to. Mason told what
should be done to the German emperor
and his crew and how he intended to
play his part in the good work.
Speaking of Mason's death, Mr., Schwab
said: IL feel not only sense of personal
loss in the death Of Tommy Mason, but |
feel also that the shipbuilding industry
has sustained the loss of a very valuable
man. Tommy was a pioneer in the
speedy construction of ships When he
built the Tuckahoe he set the pace for
the rest of the country to follow, and in
doing so he rendered a service that can
not be over-estimated, and earned the
gratitude of all American citizens who
understand the Importance of shipbuild
ing as means of fastening the end of
the war"
NJ A. Neeland, president of the New
York Shipbuilding corporation, said of
Mason:
"He especially felt the responsibility
thrust upon shipbuilders by this war, and
in his efforts to make his department
produce the maximum for his country he
probably exceeded the limits of his
health and strength, which illustrates the
sacrifices men are making in civil and in
dustrial life for the cause"
