ORB NURSES
NEEDED FOR
FIGHTING MEN

Surgeon General Gorgas yester-
day announced the strength of the
army nurse corps as follows:
In Europe or awaiting transpor-
tation. 3,4SS.
In United States. 6,2SS.
PHILIPPINES and Hawaii. 4S.
Total. 9.S24.
OF this number. 1.44S are regular
army nurses, and S,37s are reserve
rurses-.
The surgeon general estimates
;h.t at least $4,000 nurses will be
= dcd by January 1. 1919.
on December 81, 1917. there were
..Ij7 nurses. regular and reserve, in
the Army Nurse corps; therefore. 5.7o7
is the strength added to the corps
between January 1 and May of this
year. When war was declared the
strength OF the corps was 3I3.
VIII Need $4,000 Nurses.
On the basis of the present size of
the United States army, the surgeon
generals office computes that at
least 24,0O0 nurses will be needed in
service by January l, 1919 The rate
of increase since January 1 last, If
continued throughout this year, will
furnish only 21.33S nurses.
The prospective deficit may be par
tially met by a plan for nurses aides
women who, though not graduate
nurses, will have special training
fitting them to relieve nurses of many
of the simpler tasks involved in
caring for the sick and wounded in
hospitals.
1t is estimated by the surgeon gem
erals office that, even for the pres
ent size of the army, the rate OF en-
rollment into the Army Nurse corps
should be increased. and large addi-
tional needs will result from the large
increase in the size of the American
army which is being planned. These
needs cannot yet be definitely COM
puted.

Jacksonville, Fla. April 1.-THE

wet and dry election yesterday, Ma
jor st. Clair Abrams, attorney for
the Duval County Fair Play Associa-

is the property of the league and
which was loaded the commissioners
to aid them in checking up the lists
of signers.
A. W. Cockrell and other lawyers
representing the league contend that
this paper is the private property OF
the league and that it is not part OF
the records of the board. but has mere
w been loaded to that body. They
held that the Fair Play Association
has no right to its possession. The
court took this view of the mater and
denied the writ of mandamus.
The checking of the petition has
been going on for sCme time and is
now practically completed. 1t has al
