mate and myself and fifteen men in
one and sixteen of the crew in another.
MS boat moved over to the Uboat and
we asked the skipper what next was

while, but we had seen what was going
on. When this task was over the
U-boat moved to the southeast and
slowly submerged. That is all we saw
of her.

Red Cross Starts
Drive for $4,000
Registered Nurses
Stirring Appeal Made to
Young Women of the

Red Cross workers yesterday plas-
tered the city with posters that appeal
for $4,000 registered nurses for army
service. Here and there throughout
the greater city recruiting booths were
erected. In the entire United States
there are only $4,000 registered nurses.
which means that one of every four
qualified women must volunteer # the
American wounded are to be cared for.
Nurses, the cali from No Mans
Land is Come across" reads one of
the poster appeals hang in windows
dressed not only to women who are
now in actual practice, but to nurses
who, perhaps, have been married or for
other reasons have gotten out of touch
with their profession.
Surgeon General Gorgas Appeals
Surgeon General Gorgas in letter
to the Red Cross expressed the army's
need of nurses in the following PAM
graph:
"No more urgent need exists to-day
and no factor can be more important
in the winning of this war than ade-
uuate care of our sick and wounded.
Nurses who respond will have the in
finite satisfaction of knowing that they
are lessening the sufferings of the men
of their own country; those bound by
ties of blood friendship and brother
hood. Nurses of America, your coun-
try calls YOU"
In each of the recruiting booths
there were stationed one army nurse,
one civilian nurse and one soldier.
They told their story in few few words; word,
her men to fight. She now calls her
women to help her fighting men. En-
roll for service if you are nurse. Re-
lease a nurse if you employ one. Enter
a training school to become one If you
can"
To registered nurses the workexs in
these booths explained that Red Gross
nurses definitely assigned to war ser

Pay of Nurses

Red Cross nurses when called into
service with the army or navy will
receive $50 month in the United
States and $50 a month elsewhere, plus

Chief nurses may receive additional

So great is the need for trained
women that the Red Cross has lowered

and nurses are being enrolled who are
