WOMEN BEGGED TO AID
IN CRISIS OF INFLUENZA
Mrs. Martin Urges Them to Show
Their Devotion to Country
Is Genuine

Look at this list OF women who have
taken the first aid training and then look
at this list-of the ones who have given
their services in this terrible time Of the
country's need-about a dozen. The hum
dreds of women who are content to sit back
and see the terrible suffering going on al
most at their very doors are the women who
thought they might be of service in France,
who had delightful dreams Of themselves in
the roles OF angels of mercy. who had the
unfathomable vanity to imagine that they
were capable of the great spirit of sacri-
flee"
Thus did Mrs j. Willis Martin, who is
bending all her energy to recruiting of
nurses for the influenza panic, express her
despair and disappointment at the lack of
response given to the persistent appeals for
help in the epidemic.
Nothing seems to rouse them" she con-
tinued. II do not know how to make the
desperate conditions real to these women,
who seem to have deaf ears. They must
read every day of the suffering the un-
speakable misery which is stalking through
every district in the city.
They Must shudder
mo doubt they shudder with horror
when they read that the death rate is so
much and so much day But they have
been told before that people are dying from
lack OF care, and stll they hold back. They
have been told thai there are families in
"h'eh every ulNHlDeT ~ III, III NHl'H NHc
children are actually starving because there
is no one to give them food that just to
go there with little soup would be per-
feet godsend to these wretched people.
These women must respond. We have
managed to equip several hosptals-emer-
gency hospitas-but we cannot open them
because we have no nurses
"I believe my whole faith in human ma
ture would be embittered by the callousness
which seems to meet our appeals were it not
for the beautiful, untiring zeal that has
been displayed by those women who have
answered this heart breaking call" added
Mrs. Martin sadly. They have worked with
every ounce of energy in them; they never
seem to he weary, and | believe they would
work until they dropped in their tracks
Need Stiii Great
simply because the epidemic is said to be
on the wane is the last reason in the world
why women should console their consciences
with the belief that everything is going to
be all right now. and there's no use in their
running risks just at the end. The epidemic
may be waning-sevcral hundred cases less
people are sti dying the dead are lying un-
buried the living are suffering, and the cases
are more virulent than they were before
Now is the time for women to show what's
in them, whether they are simply stuffed
with pretty sentiments on service and sac
rifce. or whether they are worthy to be
called the sisters, wives and mothers of sol
diers."
