ARMY NEEDS 400
NURSES FOR EVERY
DIVISION ABROAD

The Red Cross drive for a large
corps OF army nurses in France re-
ceived added stimulus today through
an appeal from Gen. Merritt W. Ire
land. chief surgeon with the Ameri-
can forces abroad.
For every division OF American
soldiers landed in France the army
must have at the lowest estimate
400 nurses. This, however, allows for
no extra emergencies and for no i'll
ness or fstigue on the part OF the
nurses" said General Ireland.
Unless a sufficient number OF
nurses is forthcoming. he points out
the care OF American wounded must
become the responsibility OF unskill-
ed women. The Red Cross drive Is
aimed to enlist 10000 trained nurses
for overseas service.

states Shipping Board for ship con-
stroction during The next fiscal year

emergency shipping. but the original
SSO54, $50 900. The reduction Of 81 .292,-
Chairman Sherley Of the Appropria-
tions Committee explained:
First because the Shipping Board
in formulating its estimates had
overlooked half billion dollars

Second because II would have been
impossible to expend the amounts OF
money asked before II came time for
introducing a new appropriation bill.
It was Chairman SherIey who dis
covered a duplication or 81 1000. 900, 900

clusion in the fortifications bill.
