URGENT APPEAL FOR
NURSES FOR THIS STATE
The National Red Cross Society Says
The situation Is Desperate and
Nurses Are Badly Needed.

Refusal of the more populous cit
les and towns to allow their nurses to
go outside their own communities TO
nurse influenza cases has created a
serious problem for the Red Cross
Department of Nursing. 1t was stated
Saturday by James l.. Fieser, chair
man of the Lake Division Red Cross
Committee on Influenza.
1.-THE need for nurses in smaller
communities, particularly in the min
ing regions of Kentucky and Ohio, is
nothing short of desperate" Mr. Fies-
err said.
1.-THE public, although alarmed over
the influenza situation. apparently has
not fully appreciated that the cpl
demic has reached the proportions of
q national disaster and that added
nursing resources will go long way
toward keeping down the death rolls"
Mr.. Fieser also pointed out that a
deplorable lack of nurses in the coal
mining regions is causing the Fuel
Administration a great deal of alarm,
as a number of mines are seriously
crippled due to the large number of
influenza cases and subsequent pneu-
monia deaths.
1.-THE more populous communities
which depend on the mining popula-
ton for their COAL should see the i'm
mediate necessity of giving up few
nurses and their employers to real
ize that influenza work is a real war
service"
Nurses, male and practical, as well
as graduates, should report at once to
their local Red Cross chapter and
should not leave their respective COM
munities unless authorized to do so.
The Division Committee on InfH-
enza asks the public:
1. To put automobiles at the SER
vice of the Red Cross in order that
they can minister to larger number
of cases.
2. To give nurses all the help they
can and to leave to them only the di-
recion of caring for influenza.
g. To refuse to permit one patient
or even several to absorb all the time
of skilled nurse.
4. To make full use of all strong
women who have had even the brief
est nursing course of experience.

Christmas Day at Waco

All are now beginning 10 real1Ze
the full meaning Of war and that the
future is not to be looked upon as
lightly as first anticipated. The vast
quantities of supplies and equipment
that are now flowing into camp for dis
tribution among the different cOmpa-
MES gives one a fair idea of what an
expense the government is really going
to and with what determination they
are going about it.
Heavens Alive With Machines
The heavens seem to be fairly alive
with aer0planes, conveying the fact
that Uncle Sam VIII without doubt,
produce one of the largest aerial fleets
the world has ever seen. Scarcely
day passes but what these machines
are rehearsing actual war maneuVers
and it proves very interesting to watch
with what skill they are controlled by
men
Every foot of ground comprising
Camp Macarthur is being put to some
use and nothing is left undOne. French,
English and our own officers are vast
ing no time in putting all the pep and
time of each drill hour into the best
use. while the men seem to take it all
good naturally and never a grumble
is heard. 1t is a vast piece Of work
and one can but marvel at the way III
which it is carried on Every man
knows that he is here for a cause and
Ii ri nd
soul into it, Discipline is much better
than it was two weeks ago, proving
that officers and men are beginning to
realize that in order to accomplish
what they have started for. They
must obey, for discipline and morale
are the two main factors in the pres
ent warfare, and victory goes to those
who are best able to maintain such
through a skirmish. BayOnet work is
advancing with each day and many of
the fellows are complaining of lame
backs and arms, while all agree that
it is better to be a bit lame than to
fail when the time comes that demands
all the strength and action that a man
can possibly produce. In plain words,
it means life or death and he who does
not know is the loser
Weather Comfortable
The weather has been quite com
Portable considering the time Of the
wear. and it is hard to believe that
Christmas has come and gone. Christ
mas here is vastly different from the
Christmas of our childhood days back
in Wisconsin, and this year witnessed
many sad hearts among the fellows
who wished that they were back with
mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters
for regardless of how pleasant your
surroundings may be, there is no place
in this wide world that can take the
place of home We were served with
a very fine dinner on Christmas, al
though it could not compare with
those that only mother knows how tc
serve. 1t was not served upon china
dishes, with each course neatly sur
rounded with cranberry sauce and eel
cry, but all thrown together with M
questions as to whether you cared fO1
this or that No, that makes no diff
ference in this life; what you wan

Next Bio Event

The next big event is Kaiser Bills
peace proposal, and we are all watch
ing with eager eyes for the paper that
will give it for that is what is to de-
eide whether we stay here and thrust
bayonets at straw dummies or go over
and practice on the Huns. Then, too,
it might mean the end Of lots Of hard
work, and we all feel so over-suppl1ed
with ambition that I am sure such
a shock would be an injury to all. ASK
your friends who hive been down here
to see us. They will tell you how am
bilious we are We even find it hard
to get off our cots to speak to them
when they come all the way here to
see us. We all feel very grateful to
those who made this Christmas
pleasant one for us and hope that we
may come back to BaraboO benefit
OF the city, and those who have been
so interested in our welfare, for we
are sure that we owe it all to you.
