10000 Needed
The Augusta Chapter Of the American
Red Cross is now cooperating in the
national Red Cross movement to secure
more trained nurses for Red Cross work
and the Augusta executive committee has
made arrangements to secure enrolment
blanks and to solicit volunteers In their
territory.
Only 600 nurses are in war service at
present. while 5000 more-a full five
tines as many-will be needed
The Red Cross asks that every nurse
who is physically fit for such service en-
roll in the Red Cross Nursing Corps,
which is the recognized reserve of the L.
/ $. army nursing service.
The army needs highly trained nurses,
the best in the country-women who have
beer graduated from recognized training
schools and accepted by the State as be-
! ing trained and competent to follow the
profession of nursing. At present S0Co0
women of America are trained as nurses.
Nearly half of them will be needed for the
army at strength Of 900 and more
still as the army is increased In size
| The volunteering of this vast number OF
nurses will mean sacrifices for the people

without nurses except for such cases as

IN this country will ever be that bad:
but they will soon be bad enough so that
the women of the country will have to do

TURKS PEACE
PETITION NOT
YET RECEIVED
of Wilson's Terms
by Germans Allies Would
Cause No Surprise at
Washington.

Washington, Oct. 1l.-Proposal
of peace on the part of Turkey, re-
ported in London dispatches, had
not been received in Washington
tonight. State department officials
expressed deep interest in the re-
ported move by the Turkish govern
ment, but stated positively that no
proposal had reached them.
At the Spanish embassy, which
has charge of Turkish affairs in the
United States and through which
any peace proposal from Constan-
tinople undoubt tedly would be trans
mitted, it was said no intimation
had come from Madrid that COM
munication of this nature might be
expected.
Definite peace proposals by Turkey
would occasion little surprise in Of
fetal circles, however. 1t was an
nounced that Turkey was to dis
patch note similar to that sent by
Germany and Austria Hungary and
in view of the fact that none has
been received there has been a feel
ing in some quarters for several
days that a very definite appeal
might be forthcoming soon. The
setting up of a new government
composed of elements less pro-Ger-
man than the previous cabinet has
strengthened the belief that Turkey
might decide to offer peace on terms
similar to those accepted by Bull
garia.
Acceptance by Austria Hungary
and Turkey of President Wilson's
terms, reported in an Amsterdam
Dispatch also would not. be sur
Drising. it was stated. Conditions
in both countries are known to be
favorable to the ending of the war
at the earliest possible moment.
The next move of the German
chancellor is being awaited by Of
lfciais here with equanimity. This
feeling is intensified because there
is not the slightest intention to
slacken the tremendous general Of
fensive of the entente and American
forces which is progressing so rap
idly and successfully that every days
delay on the part of the German
government bring. nearer its in
voluntary compliance with the con-
ditions laid down by President Will
son that German soldiers must be
withdrawn from occupied territory
before there can be any discussion
of peace. =

CHAIRMAN HAYS
ASKS HISPARTY
TOSTAND bY>WAR
To Stand by the President Is a
Duty Which All Re-
pubIiCans Have
Assumed.

Washington, Oct. ll.-Chairman
Will H. Hays, of the national re-
publican committee, in a patriotic
and ringing editorial n,the National
Republican today, calls on all citi-
gems to stand by the war, and spend
the last drop of blood and treasure
for this purpose, if need be.
THE republican party says to the
country, Stand By the War
.In this declaration of purpose is
included the statement which the
democratic party seems to have
adopted as slogan-'Stand by the
President. a.
"Stand by the president in sup
port of all war measures is duty
and privilege which the republicans
have, assumed as a matter of course,
as to all that the great Office implies,
and in the performance of which
duty the republican party has func-
toned far more fully and efficiently
than the democratic party, and in
which course we shall persist with
out waver or shadow of turning.
Stand By War.
''The republican party says-Stand
By the War.
This includes more. 1t includes
stand by the president; it includes
stand by every official, high or low,
measured by the thoroughness with
which that public official stands by
the war; it includes stand by the
government; stand by this country;
stand by our allies, every one;
stand by our soldiers in France and
the soldiers OF our allies; stand by
every effort for War Saving and
War Giving in this country:
stand for the Fourth Liberty loan
and every other war effort; stand
for the cause for which we fight:
stand by the 'irreducible minimum
of peace terms so splendidly enunci-
ated by Senator Lodge; stand by the
war aims of this country to vindi-
cate American rights, interests and
honor and forever end Prussianism
in the world and the oppression
which it typifes, and to make GER
tain forever the inability of militar-
ism. Prussian or otherwise, to dis.
turb the peace OF the world; stand
irrevocably for a peace with victory
only and not for a peace based on a
compromise of principles, which
make of our sacrifice a sacrilege to
be made again by our grandchildren.
All this we say-Stand BY the
War--and for this purpose we dedi-
cate the last Of our blood and of our
treasure
