to the life blood which is being sac
rificed
Miss Walton, chairman, then organ

COLCHESTER TRIPS
TO REQUIRE A TAX.
War Will, 1t Is Expected, Neces-
state Additional Assessment
On All Boat Fares.

And now comes a government whack
at the afternoon water trip to West
River. Truly the Hun is in for
bunch of GUESSING.
The excursionists seeking relief
from the hot, sultry days which are
near by trip down the bay will hear
that cry that has long since become
familiar when he losses up his 25 or
so cent piece for ticket. 'War tax,
please"
The excursion season is not yet
here, but the war tax is, and the
steamship companies are now prepar-
ing to inform the public in the first
batch of advertising matter, which
soon will make its appearance. Like
wise will some of the rates go higher
than they were last year, due, it is
explained, to the increased cost of
coal and labor
However, the colchester Company
which runs it's line of boats from Bal
timore to Annapolis and the lower
points in this county, as well as to
other sections of the bay is getting
ready now for the excursion season
which opens about May 10th.
Numerous church and fraternal or
CARNATIONS have chartered steamers
to take them on outings during the
pre-excursion season and several of
the companies have arranged to hold
Saturday and Sunday excursions prior
10 the regular season.

Corps of Army Nurses Must Increase
Nearly 1000 Per Cent In Year

According to estimates based on an
Army of 100000 men. 1880 nurses
will be needed The present strength
of the Army Nurse Corps of the Medi-
cal Department is about $500. To
increase this number by nearly 1000
per cent in year is the task faced
by the corps.
Hospitals at Army camps and can
tonments still need nurses to bring
the quota for each up to the mini
mum of 65 considered necessary, altho
since the urgent need for nurses was
made public in December nearly 1000
requests for application blanks have
been received.
In order to get the enrollments up
to the needed number some of the re-
quirements heretofore imposed have
been waived According to estimates
there are between $4,000 and 10000
registered nurses in the country and
about 100000 other graduate and
practical nurses.

Many Articles Used In Emergency Ra.

The equipment of no soldier is com
plete without emergency food rations.
United States troops are supplied with
three different parched maize-meal
packets and three chocolates. The
former is a revival of the maize-meal
of the American Indians, on which
they could exist for day while hunting
or on the warpath.
The "chain-shot" ration furnished
Belgian, French and Teutonic SOL
diers is winter food of compressed
meat. There are more than a dozen
varieties of compressed teas used by
the Russian commissary. Compress
ed rice and macaroni is supplied
Oriental forces. Oat-bread in sau-
sage form is used by some of the
North British troops.
A curious ration is the compressed
fig coffee of the Central Powers,
which may either be utilized for food
as 1t is or converted into a coffee-like
drink. Smoke-dried pears are used
in the same armies. The Swiss SOL

needed for the equipment of United

the wool and cotton which are used
in greater quantities.
A half ounce of silk is used in the
standard yellow gloves and a slightly
larger quantity In the riding gloves.
SILK Is also found In the service hat
and undershirt Linen enters the
equipment list in only one article. the
shelter tent. Jute is used In breeches,

There is said to be a surplus of
