Cochran is also talented three

NEED 37,5OO NURSES
1000 Per Cent Increase Is
Sought by Government.
Nurses Being Called for Duty to Meet
Needs of the United States
Army.

Washington.-Th thousand
five hundred nurses will be needed in
the army nurse corps of the medical
department, according to present esti-
mates based on on army of 100000
men. The present strength Of the
corps is about $500. Increasing the
enrolment by nearly 1000 per cent In
a year is the task confronting the
corps.
Daily numbers of nurses are being
called for to meet immediate needs
in army hospitals In the United States
and for duty overseas. The pres
ent rate of enrolment does not meet
the demands. Hospitals at National
Guard and National army camps still
need 371 nurses to bring the quotas of
all up to the minimum considered
necessary-65 each.
In order to get the enrollments up
to the needed number some of the re-
quirements heretofore imposed are be-
ing waived. According to estimates of
the nursing committee of the general
medical board of the council of nation
al defense, there are between $4,000
and 10000 registered nurses In the
country and about 100000 other gradu-
ate and practical nurses.
Just as soon as immediate needs of
cantonmCnt hospitals have been cared
for reserve of 100 nurses will be or
ganized for emergency service In the
United States. Lakewood hotel, Lake
wood, N. j., has been leased by the
government for use as a general hospi-
tai for the army and provisions will
be made for housing the reserve nurs-
es there. This hotel has not yet been
turned over to the war department,
but will be in a week or so. The nee
essary alterations will be made as soon
as practicable and the 100 nurses for
the reserve will be needed in addition
to the permanent nursing staff Of the
hospital.

STRIFE in THE
dual empire
DISCORD GAINED SOMEWHAT,
BUT SITUATION is GRAVE.

New York, Jan. 23.-While the
Austria Hungary seems to have abat-
ed somewhat, the latest indications
are that discomfort is merely smold-
ering and that at no distant date it
again may break out in a veritable
conflagration.
The politicians apparently with OPP
timistic utterances have quieted a
situatioon that admittedly is fraught
with grave possibilities so far as the
dual monarchy is concerned, but the
known war WEAKNESS of the populace
and the food shortage are likely soon
again to bring the people into sharp
discord with the authorities.
The general strike, which, it is as
serted, took more than 100000
men and women from their work-a
large proportion of them engaged in
war ndustries-virtually ended Mon
day morning, but at last accounts the
people still were clamoring for food
and for a cessation of hostilities.
At the moment of the outburst of
public discomfort, and throughout
the days when the discord was
strongest the government of the dual
monarchy showed it was keenly alive
to the necessity of calming the un-
rest. Immediately the cry of peace"
arose, there came from the halls of
the government the answer. I'VE are
ready for peace without annexations
or indemnities, and it was added
that this feeling was shared to the ut.
most by the emperor-king.
