COL. ]. ". FJRL OW
NOW A MEMBER OF
ARMY GEA'L STAFF
SIGNAL HONOR PAID AMERICUs
MAN WHO ROSE FROM RANKS
TO HIGH POSITION IN ARMY Az
TER YEARS OF SERVICE.

Announcement has just been au-
thorized at Washington Of the ap-
pointment of Col James W. Furlow, of
Americus, as member of the general
staff of the United States army with
headquarters in Washington. The de-
partment to which Col Furlow is as
signed is not made public in the an
nouncement Of his selection to be a
member of the general staff but 1t is
believed he is in charge of the de-
partment of motor communications
as he has been connected with this
department practically since its or
ganization, and especially in view of
the fact that it was brought to its
present high state of efficiency under
his direction.
Announcement of the appointment
is gratifying to Americus folks both
because of Colonel Furlow's wide per-
sonal popularity and extensive family
connection in this community, and be-
cause of the recognition of his genius
shown therein. Col Furlow, who was
reared in Americus, is brother of
Mr.. T. M. Furlow and of Capt.
Stewart Furlow, and first entered the
army service as a private during the
Spanish war. Several years
age he married Miss Maggie Buchanan,
of Americus, who with their child, is
now with Col Furlow in Washington.
He served in the Philippines and won a
commission as lieutenant while in
the Islands. Upon his return to the
United States he took a special course
at West Point, and when the Mexican
trouble arose little more than year
ago he was placed in charge of the
motor transport department His sue
cess in handling this difficult task, in
yolying as it did the assembling of
vast number Of army trucks, and their
rapid transportation to the scene of
the disturbance, marked him as an
officer peculiarly endowed for handl-
ing such problems. He directed the
movement of the motor vehicles which
accompanied General Pershing's col
Imn into Mexico, and it was due prin-
cipally to his efforts that no delay was
experienced in moving the supplies
necessary for maintaining the troops
at high efficiency during their occupa-
tion of Mexican territory.
Afterward, Col Furlow was in di-
rect charge of assembling all the motor
transport vehicles sent to Europe by
the United States at the beginning of
the war with Germany, and so success
ful was he that he has just been called
to Washington to be a member of the
general staff. This body constitutes
the "brains of the army" inasmuch as
all of the plans for raising and e1uip-
ping the military forces Of the nation
are first laid before it and approved be-
fore being presented to congress. and
ut is, therefore. the most powerful
institution connected with the military
service 1t is, indeed, an honor to be
named a member of the general staff
of the United States army, and Col.
Furlow's friends here will heartily
congratulate him upon his appointment
to such high and honorable position
in the nations service.

ENROL LLMENT OF
R. c. NURSES IS
MAOE POSSIBLE
GRADUATES OF REGISTERED
TRAINING SCHOOLS SINCE JAN
UAKY MADE ELIGIBLE FOR I'M
MEDIATE ENROLMENT.

Nurses who graduated from re-
gistered training schools. prior to
January J., 1918, have been made eli
gible as war measure for enrolment
as Red Cross nurses through a modi-
fication of the requirements, as an
nounced today by the American Red
Cross. This modification valves the
technical requirements of registration
with state examination boards which
has been heretofore observed by the
Army Nurse Corps before January /.
The American Red Cross as the chief
recruiting agency for this corps has
deemed 1t best to be in a position to
mobilize for patriotic nursing service
every graduate of registered school.
In announcing this charge in the re-
gistration regulations, Miss Jane De-
lano, director of the Beaureau of nur-
sing at National Headquarters, said:
"The present situation at the front
makes it imperative that we hasten
the enrolment of competent nurses
for the armed forces in every possible
way. We need thirty thousand nurses
for the Army Nurse Corps by January
J., 1919, for the care of our men at the
front and for the new millions who
enter cantoments through the draft.
These nurses must be supplied and
will be supplied as the Surgeon
Generals call for them.
The department of Nursing realizes
that the American Red Cross is con-
fronted by a nursing problem which
not only concerns military establish
ments, but which has vital bearing
on the health of civilians, including
the families of soldiers. These general
nursing needs of the nation, it is be-
lieved, can best be met by mobilizing
practically our entire nursing re-
Sources by the enrolment of all
schools whether they have registered
individually or not. This will add an
important number of nurses to the
rosters for assignment to military.
public, health or American Red Cross
field or hospital nurses.
with all such graduate nurses en-
rolled, the unusual needs of the Army
and Navy can be met without con-
fusion and with the minimum read
justment in civil hospitals and public
health nursing activities. Nurses can
be assigned to the classes of service
to which they are especially fitted, and
many married nurses not registered
can be induced to enroll for nursing
service in hospitals and distention in
enrolling graduate nurses for the Red
Cross Home Defense Nursing These
previous extensions of eligibility have
enabled us to enroll and assign more
than 1000 nurses to the Army and
Navy without undue disturbance of the
civilian nursing service. The new
measure making thousands of ad-
ditional nurses eligible will, am sure,
enable the Red Cross to secure the
additional military nurses desired
without complicating undully the work
of those charged with maintaining the
health and physical efficiency of our
civilian population.
