the Army and people in our strong Determination to triumph in our most righteous cause"
 The Bureau of War-Risk Insurance up to June 2S has written s21.566.000 e00 insurance, representing 2,570,455 applications. The average amount of insurance applied for is SS,SS7, and in some battalions and regiments, some in France and some here, every man has taken out insurance. In some units every man is insured for the maximum s10,000.
 One of the American generals says that this Government insurance is an clement of victory. All Liberty Bond holders and all purchasers of War Savings Stamps may feel that they tad part in this insurance-the most just and humane provision. ever made ty any nation for it's fighting men.

ALL WOUNDED ARE
 CARED FOR BY THE AMERICAN RED CROSS

Early in June the Department of State was informed by the American minister at Berne that the Information al Red Cross at Geneva had received letter from the central committee of the German Red Cross at Berlin which stated that it was understood from press news that Mir. Davison, chairman Of the American Red Cross. had made the proposition that the Am eT:can Red Cross should not assist the wounded and helpless Germans but should leave them to their miser- able fate
 In response to this the Department of State sent to the American m.nis- fer ct Berne as from the Am ican Red Cross the following:
 The American Red Cross snow no such thing as the nationality Of a wounded man. Any wounded enemy turnd over to the care of the Ameri- can Red Cross will receive as indly treatment as any friend
 Supplementing the foregoirg MT Davison said:
 'These sentiments are exactl. those which have publicly expressel thru cut the United States. I have never entertained nor expressed any taot to the contrary. The fact that we are today caring for German wounded il cur Red Cross hospitals should dispose of the frequently recurring statements that We do not care for such of the enemy wounded as fall within our lines.
 Further advices from Switzerland indicate that there has been no cir cu-ation Of the above denial in the German press. although the original ca!nmny was circulated
 Early iu June the Department of Slate requested the Spanish ambas- sador ali Berlin to ask the German Government the bases for the allega- liens which were made. No reply has been received.

for service as an Army nurse at the ron. and stands chance Of being assigned to duty abroad At the same time she viii De qualified to earn her living in one of the noblest pro fessions open 10 women. It should be remembered. furthermore, that her usefulness will begin not when she graduates from the training school bul as soon as she enters it. Practical nursing work is part of the work of every training school. and the student nurse is not only learning to serve but serving her country from the outset
 Finances-The student nurse gets her board, lodging. and tuition free al practically every training school. and in most cases receives a small remun- eration to cover the cost of books and uniforms. After graduation she has an earning capacity of from 100 to $500 2 month. Private-duty nurses now receive an average of from S100 to SI2o a month together with board while on duty; institution nurses from $50 to s250 a month, together with board, lodging. and laundry: and public-health nurses from s1O0 to s25o month without maintenance. There is no danger of the earning capacity c nurses being lowered after the war ends on account of the great num- bers who will then be qualified for the profession; the country will need all the nurses that can be trained not only during the war but after it. especially for reconstruction work Even if the war ends within three years, every student nurse will be able D complete her training and will be needed.
 An Honorable service-Ever since the days of Florence Nightingale the nursing profession has been one Of especial honor. I, was never so hon orable as it is to-day The Army needs every nurse it can get to keep mp with the draft The United States Student Nurse Reserve is the equivalent for women Of the great National Army training camps for soldiers The Government will rely upon the student nurses to fight dis ease at home, to care for those injured and disabled in our hazardous war in iustrieS, and to make themselye. ready to serve when the time come. as fully trained nurses. either abroad or al home. Let s show that we kEow how ID answer the Governments aaI to the women of the country.

WANTED: 25,000 WOMB N TO ENROLL IN THE
 UNITED STATES STU DENT NURSE RESERVE
Tuesday and Wednesday

The Government is calling for 25.000 young women 10 join the United States Student Nurse Reserve and hold them selves in readiness to train for service ls nurses
 The war is creating an unprecedent- cd demand for trained nurses Only those who have taken the full training course are eligible for service with our forces overseas. These nurses are being drawn largely from our hos pitfalls at home. Their places must be filed by student nurses enrolled for the full training course Of from TWO 10 three years. Every young wo- man who enrolls in the United States Sudden; Nurse Reserve is releasing nurse for service at The front and swelling the home army which We must rely on 10 act as our second line of hospital defense. Upon the health Of the American people will depend the spirit of their fighting forces.
 Age.-The call is for women be tween the ages Of nineteen and thirty five
 Qualifcations.-Int respon- sible women Of good education and sound health are wanted-the pick of tts country. 1 college education lis 2 valuable asset, and many hospitals will give credit for it Credit will also be given for special scientific equip ment or for preliminary training in nursing. such as that given in special courses now being conducted by vari ous colleges and schools Some schols. on the other hand. do not even require a full high-school education.
 EnroIment.-Women will he given n opportunity 10 enroll in the Unit ed States Students Nurse Reserve in any one of the three ways:
 1) As engaging 10 hold themselves II readiness until April l, 1919, to ac- cept assignments 10 nurses training schools. These women will be sent 10 the schools as fas, as vacancies occur. Those Of superior qualifca-- ions will te given preference. and ir is, Of course. possible that nc; every one wEo enrolls will De accepted.

(S) AS engaging to hold them selves in readiness until April 1. 1919 .c accept assignments to either a civ Han training school or the Army Nursing School. Those who so enroll wiil be called where the first need arises The Government hopes that 9 majority Of those who enroll will put down their names for both
 Tie Nurses Training Schools
 There are 1,57s nurses training schools in this country. Their need is as great and imperative as that of the Army School Of Nursing. Those who enroll for these schools will be assigned as vacancies occur.
 The enrolment card will indicate two classes O. egistrants-Preferred aad Deferred. The preferred class will Ce those who are ready to accept as.snalent to whatever hospital the Government directs them, although hey may state what training school ttey prefer 10 be sent Those who register in the Preferred class will be assigned first. and all possible consid ssatioa will be given to their prefer z2ce as stated The Deferred class .s composed Of those who limit their -2!e1ee Of service-that is, who will .c- engage 10 go except to certain hos p.,sIs. This class is intended largely lor those who, for family reasons. can n5t accept training at distance from their homes. Those who regis ter in the Deferred class will be as signed only after the Preferred class $ exhausted.
 The Government relies on the patri- ot:sm of those who enroll to fill out Preferred cards if they possibly can. thus volunteering to go where they are most needed.
 Nobody will be assigned 10 any schools whose conditions of training are not approved by the State Board Of Nurse Examiners
 ltEIHs oA iEdinlHS-l He term o4 training varies from two to three years, according 10 the requirements of the particular school 10 which the student nurse may be sent. No course takes less than two years more han three.
