A fight to get Congress to pass
the Lewis-Raker bill granting rela-
tive rank to Army nurses is being
made by the committee to secure
rank for nurses, of which Mrs Helen
Hoy Greeley Of New York Is counsel
and executive head.
Mrs. Greeley has come to Wash
:ngton to conduct the work. She
has Offices in the Maryland building
Explaining why nurses should have
Army rank. Mrs. Greeley said:
Few Americans realize that while
Canadian and Australian nurses re-
ceive military rank from their gov
eminent, and the insignia which goes
with it, our nurses receive no mill
tary recognition. This means that
they are Disseminated against in
many little ways.
Privileges and Authority.
For instance British nurses have
many privileges on leave denied to our
nurses. British orderlies carry the
luggage Of British nurses, our nurses
carry their own. British nurses travel
as officers. American nurses take
what accommodations are left after
officers are provided for
another result of this lack of rank
is that our nurses find it difficult
to exact the obedience and respect
necessary for efficient hospital disci-
pline from the hospital orderlies who,
as enlisted men, are trained to obey
only superior rank.
The Lewis-Raker bill remedied
these conditions by making the ward
nurse second lieutenant. and the
chief nurse first lieutenant Higher
administrative posts in the nursing
system are ranked up to major
The rank given is only relative
however, which means that it in
wolves no commission, no higher pay,
and authority only in hospital mat
ters. Then. too. all nurses are ranked
below doctors.''
Mrs. Greeley is a graduate of
vassar College and the New York
University Law School. AS a speaker
she has worked for the food adj
ministration and for the patriotic
service of the Association of Col
1egiate Alumnae.
AS lawyer she was successful in
having passed through the New York
legislature a bill establishing the
state constabulary. She was also as
sociate counsel for Gov. Hughes
charter revision commission of Greater
New York.

From the be<<ining. Representative
Fess declared, republicans emphasized
the dangers of hesitation and uncer-

''The democrats pursued the policy
OF watchful waiting" he declared.
While the republicans urged a state
of preparation the democrats assured
the country that there is such q thing
a. people too proud to fight
While republicans in and out Of
Congress demanded the protection of
our national honor. the democrats
asked for support because they had
kept the country out of war. This
policy was urged after the tragedies
