ITALIAN FLOWER DAY

Distribution of flowers in the green. red and white colors of the Italian national emblem, in every city of the United States on May 24, next Friday, has been adopted by the ltal- ian-American society, Charles Hughes, president. as a means of starting an American propaganda in this country to aid the Italians who are carrying their full share in this war. The Warren district will assist to the best of it's ability in this program of as- sisting or raising the Italian morale.

All the world is needing the Red Cross nurse. Our own American Red Cross nurses have gone into military service as members of the A. & N Nurse Corps over 5000 strong; over 2000 are in France taking care of our own wounded, or at the request of Great Britain serving with the British Expeditionarv Forces. They have gone into Italy and Greece and are on their way to Palestine. rand they are somewhere near Saloniki And yet, Five thousand more graduate nurses before the first of June" is the campaign call of the Red Cross nurs- ing service: and this is coupled with ''twentv-five thousand by the first of January"
 The surGeon-seneral of the army has asked the Red Cross to supply this number before these dates. The United States army and navy nurse corps. and the Red Cross nursing service are all calling to the graduate nurse to enter military service.
 That there may be enough nurses for the army we are mcbilizing the nursing profession as well as these various departments of the govern ment Is pressing every individual qualified nurse to make an immediate decision as to her willingness to serve with the army and navy.

They are called like soldiers and respond like soldiers. The country is leaning upon them as heavily as on its fighters. For the

 United States is now fully awake to the realization that an adequate nursing force is just as essential to victory as adequate infantry or ar tillery CT fleet.
 So keen, indeed, is this realization that every man and woman is involv- ed. The government is calling on the general public to do it's share-to make the sacrifices, fill in the gaps, and promote all public and home health measures, to release the trained nurse for war duty. Those who engage private duty nurses are' urged to give the preference to those nurses awaiting orders of mobilization that the financial burden may not be made too great Practically every training school for nurses in the Un- tied States is expanding its accommo- dations to take in a greatly increased number of student nurses to hel1 meet the unparalled situation. Ad- iustment is going on all along the line
 Also the Red Cross has modified it's former requirements for enrolment. The age limit has been lowered 10 twenty-one years, and in special cases nurses over forty are accepted. Small CT schools for nurses have been put on the accredited list. and applicants are judged on their merits. On the average more than 1000 nurses a month are enrolling with the Red Cross nursing service, and its total enrolment, which is the largest of any nursing organization in the world. exceeds 19,000.
 What it means to be a Red Cross nurse is a question that thousands, even hundreds of thousands of women

come in; they will know what to do when the operations follow fast upon each ether; they will know what to do to ease agony, and bring comfort; they will know how to give to every boy and man his fullest chance of life.
 Often these uiits. of nurses are mobilized for highly specialized nurs- ing in different branches of surgery prepared by years of the most scrup- ulously exacting training. Sometimes they go in groups for contagious and psychiatric work. And they may go as mobile surgical units for duty in the casualty clearing stations, ready to follow tine movements of the ar mics, to meet emergencies sinely or together, on military call. but the ma iOrity of our nurses go for general service in base hospitals.
 It is the day of the trained nurse. She is meeting life at its great crisis when all the world is calling for her help; when all the world is crying to her to prepare for the gigantic tasks of reconstruction that will i'm mediately follow the war-tasks Of guiding public health, administering schools of nursing and hospitals and dispensaries, assisting in the social progress of all the stricken countries. Never have women stood in such an intimate relation to the work and health and progress of the whole world as the trained nurse of this day and hour.
 She is the soldier of life and the symbol of the new day.

that the taxes We're paid up in great
