NURSES NEEDED At
Fl. SILL HOSPITAL
AUTHORITIES AT BASE HOS
PITAL, FIT. SILL WAND VOL
UNTEERS TO COMBAT
INFLUENZA.

Lawton, Okla, Oct. Due to the
anticipated spread OF Spanish in
fluenza at Fit. Sill the authorities
have deemed it advisable to issue
a call for additional nurses, who
are willing to do patriotic serv-
ice, by assisting at the hospital dur
ing the epidemic. The epidemic is
well in hand at the present time,
but the authorities are taking every
precaution to prevent deaths as a
result OF the disease, and it is ear
nestly desired that as many grad
ua,e and undergraduate nurses as
possible communicate with the ad-
iutant at the Base Hospital, and
hold themselves in readiness for
service at moments notice.
The epidemic has made its ap-
pearance at Ft. Sill Camp Don
iphan and Post Field in the last week
and at the present time there are a
number of hospital cases. The cpl
demc seems to be of milder form
than experienced in the east and
closely resembles la grippe. No
deaths have as yet occurred and it
is the intention OF the military Of
hcialS TO stamp out the disease be-
fore it reaches its more severe stage.
The nursing force at the Base
Hospital is insufficient to meet a
great emergency and it is for this
reason that the medical authorities
have sent out a call for help. Grad
uate nurses and undergraduates, in
addition to doing a patriotic work
in time of need, will receive adc-
quate remuneration for their serv-
ices. Nurses, who will volunteer
for service at this time should com
municate Immediately with Captain
Brown, adjutant, base hospital Ft.
Sill.
