Flag Day to Have
New Significance in
Great Celebration

New York, June IS. The same
flag which floats over Cantigny and
over the battlefield of Chateau
Thierry will fly with new glory
tomorrow from the flagpoles of
every city and every crossroads in
the United States when the whole
nation joins in the celebration of
Flag Day. 1t is the one hundred and
forty-first birthday of the Stars and
Stripes, and never before has the an
niversary been charged with great
er significance.
For this reason the day will re-
ceive wider observance than ever be-
fore. In every community, in every
munitions plant. every schoolhouse,
and every gathering place of patr-
otic citizens there will be special
ceremony of unfurling the flag
Many organizations which never had
flags before will dedicate new ones
with songs and speeches and pledges
of allegiance, according to the pro-
gram suggested by the Federal gov
ernment.

before intervention is decided upon.
with the approval of this govern
ment. 1t is impossible to tell how
much of this inside information" is
propaganda, directed toward the end
of securing the administration ap-
proval of Intervention, for there is
undoubtedly a strong effort being
made just now to secure the adop-
ton of a constructive policy toward
Russia. This effort will reach a
climax in a few days.

nurses, first to enroll here were five
out of nine in the 1918 graduating
class, certainly a fine record: Miss
Ruth Nyquist and Anna Fritz, city;
Blanche Oyler. Gettysburg; Mary
Wolfe. Highspire, and Lowilla Sny-
der, Duncannon.
In addition to these there enrolled:
Miss Frances SINNERS, Cora Willis,
Miss M. Miller, Josephine Weller,

Marry, of Clearfield. And just re-
Gently a home defense" quota has
been started which at present con-
sists of Miss Keller. Mrs. Keffer,
Mrs. Charles Mitchell. Mrs. Harry
Steel and Mrs. Clara r. Snyder. 1t
is hoped that every woman with
this quota speedily for local disasters
are likely at any time. In event of
such a catastrophe, the hospital
would be badly off, for it has only
half the number of rooms necessary
to accommodate the demand. Indeed,
this war crisis proves that Harris
burg very shortly must improve it's
hospital equipment. for it is now
sadly inadequate.
Many Opportunities Opened
If any girl believes that she will
be wasting her time in this patriotic
service. Miss Scott can disallusionize
her very promptly. The opportuni-
ties for an expert nurse with three
years training after the war will be
unlimited, she pointed out to-day
There will be many jobs in public
health activities. in school nursing,
in tuberculosis establishments, for
visiting nurses, in teaching work; in
structing and in industrial work. An
efficient nurse need have no fear of
making a good living"
At the present time 5000 Red
Cross nurses are on active military
duty and $4,000 will be needed by
january 1. The minimum salary for
service is $50 at home and SEQ
abroad with all maintenance, and
special salaries for special service
Miss Scott points out, as emphasized
in a letter received from Luella
Davis. who is at Camp Lee, that the
hours in camp work are only eight,
while a private nurse frequently
works twenty out of the twenty-four.
Four big Philadelphia hospitals have
offered their schooling to volunteer
nurses from this district and Har-
risburg hospital can take care, right
now, of fifteen. The campaign for
nurses aids is almost as i'm
portant, and any girl who is inspired
to help save her nation in this death
struggle should communicate with
Mrs. Chamberlain, at Red Cross
headquarters.

heavily upon those receiving an an
