(Spoc al Dispatch to The Tr,bune)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.--Lack of
military rank for army nurses is Sc
riously Gripping the efficiency OF our
nurses and our military hospitals, &C.
eordirg to statement issued to-day
by Red Cross and army nursing au-
thorities, urging immediate passage
of the Lewis Raker bill granting rel
ative rank. ranging from Second Lieu
tenant TO Major, TO members of the
army nurse corps.
The proposed relative rank involves
no increase in pay, only limited au-
thority and no commission. 1t merely
gives the right to wear an officers
insignia and confers the authority of
an officer in hospital and sanitary
matters, under the direction of the
army doctors. A Senate hearing on
the bill is expected soon.
peace or ignominious defeat at
the hands of the Germans" says Miss
Jane De ano, in charge of the recruit
ing of nurses for the army and the
navy. may rest on the rapidity with
which our wounded and sick soldiers
are returned TO the line of action"
Miss Clara D. Noyes, whose position
a. head of the American Nurses AS
sociat.on keeps her in close touch with
nurses in all branches OF war service.
SAYS she learns direct Y from the
nurses in military hosp tails of the con-
slant impairment of efficiency because
of their lack of rank.
"Nurses in our military hospitals
have written me-" Miss Noyes says, "ot
the friction and disorganization which
result f. ON their rack or military
st~tus ard of any in gnia of auth o~;tv.
They tell me it is almost impossible to
be sure their orders are carried out by
the hospital orderlies, who are en-
listed men. The obedience and con-
sideration given the officer without
quest on are often Withheld from me
nurse"
Our allies have given their nurses
the rank of officers in the army which
they serve,' says Dr.. Anna Howard
Shaw. Our nurses are worthy by
training and accomplis lishment of equal
recognition with those of their Cana
dian end Australian sisters"
julia Lathrop, chief of the children's s
bureau of the Department of Labor
urges for the nurse the same po sition
of authority in military hospitals
which she has in civil an hospitals.
In order to get this authority in the
army rank is necessary.
AS chairman of the war programme
committee of the National Organiza-
ton for Public Health Nursing Mrs
Chester Bolton is planning and carry
ing out measures of health conserva-
ton for the country.
ANY recognition given nurses by ou,
government Mrs. Bolton says. react:
favorably on the health aid morale OF
our country bv giving added dignity tC
the nursing profession and b. helping
attract the hi@hest type of women TO it
Military rank is mark of national ap
probation, which. for the good Of oul
nation should no lon~er be withheld
from American army nurses"

On the Screen
Charlie Chaplin Surpassed
All Former Fun Making
Marks in "Shoulder

Charlie Chaplin's new picture at the
Strand is twice as funny and twice as
long as any of his previous produc~
tions, which really makes it four times
as amusing.
We couldn't help pondering over the
vast amount of time and study Chaplin
must have put into this picture, tor

: he differs from all other eXponents OF
the slapstick.
His new picture is called "Shoulder

and even the mood is new one.
