Call for $4,000 Volunteers by No
Means Too Large, Says
Miss Delano

Sixteen thousand nurses will be needed
for every million soldiers sent abroad, Cen
eral Pershing has informed the War De-
partment According to this percentage the

we want to enlist as many nurses
possible" said Miss Delano, mot merely for
foreign service, but to take places in hos
pitfalls in this country to go out as nurses
by the hour and into industrial institutions
where a nurse Is needed. Women who have
married and are prevented by home ties from
crossing the ocean can give such service as

1T is optional with the nurse whether
she go into the army or the navy; whether
she shall go abroad or stay at home. But
1t is the duty of all nurses to place them
selves in the hands of their Government to
be assigned to duty in this crisis"
ALREADY the evil work of the German
propagandist Is showing itself in opposition
to the campaign for nurses Doctor Hart
said in the course of his address. which ex-
planned the rules of the army in reference
to the Red Cross nurse.
