Tells a Graphic Tale of
Need and Work for Nurses

assured US was Just beyond. After
day and half in which we had
nothing, although We saw 10 il that
our horses were fed and given water,
We started TO sing to forget our wear
mess, l suppose it was the first time
IN the history Of this region that
Old Black joe had echoed over the
vast desert. At night, numb with
the cold, hungry and thirsty. we had
reached the point when we didn't
care what happened TO US. But at
last in passing through little village
we saw an Armenian priest with
lamp in his hand, entering a door
way. You can always tell an Arme-
nian priest by his comical hat, the
shape Of Mt Arrarat with the cross
in front.
I'VE called out to him, Father,
bless u.s. and as our carriage rolled
On we heard his voice following US
through the darkness-'Bless you
and your mission, my children This
encouraged US not until we saw lights
glimmering on the distant horizon
and were filed with fear that it
might be a foe.
You can imagine our Joy when,
upon arriving at the low, sta able-like
buildings. we were greeted by Amer
lean nurses and doctors. 1t was an
American Red Cross unit stationed at
khoy in the heart Of Western Per-
sia. They took US in and provided
every comfort. And what do you
think was the first question the doc
tors put to us when we were able to
talk? They wanted to know the
baseball-score.
You see when you are far from
home every bit of gossip or news is
heaven sent. You should see how
these girls live. 1t would make you
ashamed of your ease and comfort
here. They never think of them
selves although separated from fam
lily and friends with no mail, no liter
ature, with food to which they are
totally unaccustomed in Ame1ica,
with desolate plains about them and
four mud walls for a home. And
now comes Lady Anne Asgapetian's
real message to her sister nurses in
America:
Every sick and wounded Russian
soldier l met in that Western country
had one thought and that was to get
into the hands of the Americart. And
why-because of the Red Cross
nurses. That hospital unit is famous
throughout the Caucasus for a care
and consideration vouchsafed by the
nurses of no other nationality. I
nave seen as many as two and three
thousand refugees at a time who
when they heard 1 was from America
| almost mobbed me, shouting, Oh
God bless the American nursesn And
| knowing the great need for more
American nurses must ask, Nurses of
America, are you earning that bless
ing" Let your conscience answer"

SayTevi|Ie Board Registers
"a Young Men for Draft

SAYREvILLE, June e:-Two hun
dred and forty-five youths, who have
attained the age of twenty-one since
June S, 1917, were registered in the
third draft district yesterday. The
only registering place was the town
hall in Sayreville and the same
method of registration was carried
out this year as in the last registra-
ton.
The officials of the draft board were
somewhat disappointed as only PAS
out of the expected $50 youths regis
tered. AS the third district is a large
Polish district and is thickly popu-
lated with foreigners, it is anticipated
that large numbers of these foreigners
failed to register.
The following clerks gave their as
sistance in registering the men: E. c.

American Red Cross has now started
a campaign for thousands of nurses
who are greatly needed in France
now that the casualty list is increas-
ing daily. Efforts will be made in
this city, as in every other place in
the country, to have more young
women take up the study of nursing,
this being one way in which hun
dreds of girls and women can help
the American and Allied soldiers.
BY studying to be nurse and then
going to France to help bring back
to life the wounded American young
women are making a sacrifice which
is as great as that the boys make who
go over there to fight. The Angels
of Mercy" as the nurses are known
among the soldiers, have made a
name for themselves by their work
in this war which is worthy of the
highest praise and honor.
