RED GROSS TO GIVE
F|RsT-HAND NEWS OF
CASUALTIES OF WAR

Persons In the Southwest who have
sons, brothers. husbands, fathers and
sweethearts at the front will be espe-
cially interested in the announcement
that the American Red Cross has or
ganized Bureau of Communication at
Washington to give them details of
casualties at the front. The bureau
will supplement- in a personal and hui
manitarian way the reports OF the Sta
tistical Division of the War Depart
ment, which gives to relatives official
notice when q soldier is reported
killed, wounded or missing.
The bureau will be ably presided
over by William r. Castle. Jr., for
merly assistant dean Of Harvard Col
lego and editor OF the Harvard Grad
uates' Magazine. The information on
which 1t will base its reports is gath
cred through a central office In Paris,
under the direction of e. Gerry Chad
wick of New York, aided by the Rev.
Robert Davis of Englewood, N. j., and
30 assistants stationed at the base hos
pitfalls and rest camps to which sol
diers are generally returned following
important engagements.
The bureau will advise In detail the
nature and extent of the wound, and
will gather evidence from comrades in
arms and at the hospitals and rest
camps regarding those reported miss
ing"
Relatives will be given any informa-
ton Of interest or consolation through
personal letters. II will be possible
for the wounded to send messages in
the same way.
The bureau is reporting on all cases
that come to its attention. 1t is prob
able, however, that with the increase
of reports from the front information
will be sent only to relatives request

RED CROSS Is CHALLENGED
Chapters Throughout Southwest Are
Urged to Double Their Efforts
to Take Care of Brave Sol

Red Cross chapters OF the South
west are urgently requested by the
headquarters OF the Southwestern Di-
vision, American Red Cross, at st.
Louis, to mobilize all their forces and
prepare for u surprisingly big drive i'll
the spring.
From all signs and intimations com
ing from Europe in yelled cablegrams,
from persons high in the conduct OF
the war, and from hints dropped from
Washington, the number of Americans
who will be in Europe by spring wilt
be a great surprise.
1t is admitted, on high authority,
that there are thousands mere sol
diers in France than it was thought
there would be. From preparations
being made at environments and from
the numbers now in transit, there Will
be many thousands more in Europe
within short time They not only
will be in Europe, but they Will be in
the front line, 50 present advices point
out.
This all goes to show that Red Cross
workers viii have to double up on
their work and provide comforts for
our own boys and at the game time
continue to aid French, Italians and
Servians.
1t is up to chapters to inform their
members OF the necessity for more
sweaters, wristlet9, helmets, mafflers,
hospital garments, surg!cal dressings,
etc Hundreds OF thousands Of each
OF these rauCt be made to take care Of
the boys In the spring. e
The tinc Is start the preparation "a
now, The chapters realize that II takes
lots Of time to Get all Of the necessary
articles together, and each one will
want to make a good showing when
the shipments arc made.
OF course, the thousands Of Amerl-
can soldiers will need Red Cross
nurses to care for them. Forty thou
sand is the number estimated br the
surgeon-general for the near future.
The nursing service OF the Red Cross
offers many inducements and undoubs.
eddy many OF the patriotic women ct
the Southwest will join it, SO that they
can go to France and help In the fight
for democracy.

Nursing education not only prepares
for large variety of professional
fields, but is an excellent preparation
for home and family life and for pub
lie service in many ways.
Almost upon enrolment the student
begins her service to the community
in helping to care for the sick, as a
part of her instruction and training.
Life in most schools is healthy,
wholesome, simple and regular. 1t is
full of vivid human interest, the stu
dent sharing in deepest realities of
life.
The graduate of q good school steps
at once into regular professional life
and worl. with an assured livelihood.
No weary struggle to get a foothold-
to show what she can do. The hos
pital has carried her over that stage.
Her work is ready and waiting for her
if she successfully completes her train
ing.
The student Is at no expense for
tuition. board, lodging, laundry, uni
form. ETC.. In the great majority OF
schools. Only a few schools charge
tuition fee for preparatory course. The
student is also cared for in illness.
Salaries compare favorably with sal.
aries Of other trained women. In some
fields they are higher than the aver
age. Especially is this true of teach
ing and administrative work either in
institutions or in public health nurs-
ing. Opportunities for advancement
are many and steadily increasing.
Our schools of nursing, our civil hos
pitfalls. are to women what the training
camps are to officers and men. Hun
dreds of nurses have already been
drafted The supply will be utterly
inadequate unless our qualified wom-
en- rally in large numbers TO this call
of duty. Enroll as student and be-
gin your preparation to meet your
country's need for large numbers of
highly trained nurses-not only for
war service under the American Red
Cross, but also for peace service of
the greateskimportance-
Hospitals and schools of nursing
need an ample student nursing s,rv-
ice, composed of well-educated, high
principled, capable and devoted young
women who are In training to become
expert, skilled, competent nurses. All

There are rs accredited schools OF
nursing in this district that will pre-
pare volunteers for service. Two years
duty is required.
Nursing education not only prepares
for large variety of professional
fields. but 1t Is an excellent prepare
ton for home and family life and for
public service in many ways. Almost
upon enrolment the student begins
her service to the community in help
ing to care for the sick, as part of her
instruction and training. This service
TO the community will be greatly in
creased in war time. because the con-
ditions of war, which take wage-earn.
ers from the homes and nurses from
the civilian hospitals, produce an in.
creased amount of sickness and dis
tress among the civilian population,
with decreased facilities for guarding
its health.
II might be added that enrolment IN
the Red Cross does not compel one to
go into war service, though there is
moral compulsion that one should
do SO.
When Red Cross nurses are called
upon for active duty they receive $50
a month in the United States and $50
a month elsewhere, plus maintenance
and travelling expenses.

Women OF the Southwest have a
chance to show their patriotism now
as never before since the beginning of
the war. They have been bravely civ.
ing up their sons. fathers, brothers,
sweethearts and husbands to fight In
the great war; they have knitted thou.

hundreds Of patriotic talks.
But in few instances have they been
given an opportunity to 60 into the
field Of the world struggle. This is
the path they now have chance to
take.
The Department of Nursing OF the
American Red Cross, the modelling
agency for nurses in military service,

Red Cross wants the strong, brave,
competent women OF the Southwest to

United States to supplement their

1t Is estimated that there are be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 registered
nurses in the United States at the
present time, meaning graduates of
accredited schools. OF this number
1880 are enrolled Red Cross nurses,
the majority of whom are in active
