DELAWARE "BANNER STATE

Delaware has been awarded the ban
ner for the highest per capita contribu-
ton to the Red Cross fund. She has
contributed nearly double the amount
of any other State in the Union and
the city of Wilmington is far and away
ahead of any other city of 100, 900 pop
ulation or more.
This information comes officially from
Washington from w. e. Prekey, direc-
tor of the Bureau of Chapter organiza-
ticn, who writes Campaign Manager
Henry P. Scott as follows:
Il am advised by the War Fund
Bureau that your 1915 per capita
for the State is far and away ahead
of any other State; as to date no
other State he's even reached the SIS
per capita status; also that $lS.55
per capita is in excess of the per
capita contributed by any other city
of 100000 population or more.
Mr.. Scott had written to Henry P.
Davidson, chairman Of the National
War Council of the Red Cross. asking
if the unofficial information he had re-
ceived concerning Delaware's high
standing was correct.
Unofficial repQrta support the belief
that another championship banner for
the number of contributors in propor-
tien to the population is due to this
State.

NURSES FOR WAR SERVICE

Elsewhere in this issue we print an
interesting and important communica-
ton from Mrs Elizabeth H. Bancroft;
chairman of Red Cross Nurses Cam
paign Committee, in reference to the ne
cessity of maintaining supply of cap
able and efficient nurses for war service.
War makes necessary the services OF
trained nurses and also increases the
demand for them Therefore, they
should be available at all times.
But even war is not just cause
why nurses should be< Withdrawn en-
tirely from civilian service. They are
as Importantly required in this service
as on the fields of war. And so it is
necessary to maintain the supply. AS
a means to this end it is urged that high
school and college graduates enter the
training schools for nurses and qualify
themselves for civilian service. There
by they may relieve graduate nurses
from the latter service, who may be
sent o the active fields of military
operations, as desired. And the desire
for them will continue intensively until
the war comes to an end.
This is a noble work, in which. as
has been truly said: ''In the present
crisis the girl who enters training
school for nurses is just as truly serv-
ing her colors as her brother in khaki.
Let US hope this appeal in behalf of
this most valuable and important war
service will not be in vain.
