Corps 0 f Army Nurses Must Be
Increased Nearly 1000 Per
Cent in year.

According to estimates based on an
Army Of 100000 men, $4,000 nurses
will be needed. The present strength of
the Army Nurses Corps of the Medical
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 canton
ments still need nurses to bring the quota
for each up to the minimum of 65 con-
sidered necessary, although 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 enrolment up to
the needed number some of the require
ments 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.

Army Regulation Urge Cordial
Relations Betweee Officers
and Enlisted Men.

The following paragraph of Army
Regulations is the only rule now existing
regarding the relationships between
officers and enlisted men:
"Superiors are forbidden to iniure
those under their authority by tyrannical
or capricious conduct or by abusive Ian
guaee. While maintaining discipline and
the thorough and prompt performance
Of military duty, all officers, in dealing
with enlisted men, will bear in mind the
absolute necessity of so treating them
as to preserve their self-respect. Officers
will keep in az close touch a, possible
with the men under their command, will
strive to build up such relations Of
confidence and sympathy as will insure
the free approach of their men to them
fer counsel and assistance. This rela-
'9oship may be gained and maintained
without relaxation of the bonds of dis
n,o'ne and with great benefit to the
f,ice as whole"

Salvage Corps at Battle Front.

According to the systems now estab-
lished in modern warfare, it is stated
by a war correspondent, salvage
corps Is daily going over all the ground
near the battle front exposed to fire,
and is gathering all the debris dis
carded by the contending armies. None
Of the scrap is neglected, with steel
worth one shilling to one and one-half
shillings per pound, and copper and
other metals In proportion. All the
metals are taken to shops in the rear,
and there worked into the various mu-
nitions that a modern army uses.
All the lead that is fred is prac-
tically lost, as bullet travelling at
velocity of 1000 feet or more per Sec
ond burles itself so deep into any OBJ
ject 1t hits as to be lost entirely. 9th
er metals, however, such as tangled
steel from wrecked motor cars, large
pieces Of shells, bits of copper, pieces
of aluminium, etc., are carefully collect
ed and later turned into disable condi-
ton.
