FIGHTING SISTERS
OF FIGHTING men
Twenty Thousand Nurses Now
Enrolled in American
Red Cross.

OF the eighty odd thousand registers
ed trained nurses In the United States
about 10000 have enrolled as Red
Cross nurses, volunteering their serv.
ices at the front, In environments and
hospitals or in any other needed Ca
pacities. This enrolment is the nurs-
Ing reserve Of the United States Army
Nurse Corps and the United States.
Navy Nurse Corps, and from it win
also be drawn contingents for service
under other allied flags than our own.
The enrolment goes on at the rate Of
1000 volunteers a month. On basis
Of an army Of q million men over 3d.
600 nurses will be required for active
duty in the present year.
Up to the last Of February over
1000 nurses had been actually detailed
to duty or were ready for immediate
mobilization. So it is seen that there
are none too many, In view OF the re-
Quirements of the service, since be-
tween time OF enrolment and actual
assignment to duty the nurse must I'M
dergo a period Of special study and
training for war service, and the work
OF organizing and mobiliZing this
s'army of mercy" is NO small thing.
A Nurse Is Soldier.
Surgeon General Gorgas has called
upon the Red Cross to supply 5000
nurses for the Army Nurse Corps by
June 1, and If this quota is forthcOm-
ing the total number detailed will
have reached 1900. So the mobiliza-
ton Of another $4,000 to $4,000 by
Jan. /, 1919, will be big problem to
solve.
Now, a nurse Is q soldier. She is

ment and included In those eligible

exacting, calling for the finest quail
ties Of mind and heart. She Is the
right hand Of the surgeon.
So, because nursing is primarily a
womans job, the war nurse is proper
" the peculiar responsibility Of the
women Of America. While the trained
nurse is urged to volunteer the risk
of her life at the front, the American
woman at home is commanded by ev-
cry dictate of patriotism and humanity
to support her lighting sister"
The nurse fights pain, disease and
death. making her sacrifice with amaz-
Ing cheerfulness and enthusiasm.

New Plan Offered.

Military instruction under officers and
noncommissioned officers Of the Army
will be provided in every institution
of college grade which enrolls for the
instruction of 100 or more able-bodied
students over the age OF Is, beginning
in September, 1918. The necessary
military equipment will, so far as pos
sible, he provided by the Government.
There will be created a military
training unit in each institution. En-
listment will be purely voluntary, but
all students over the age Of Is will be
encouraged to enlist.
The enlistment will constitute the
stu dent member Of the Army Of
the United States, liable to active
duty at the, call of the President. 1t
will, however, be the policy Of the
Government not to call the members
Of the training units to active duty
until they have reached the age Of q,
unless urgent nilitary necessity COM
pels all earlier call. Students under
ls, and therefore not legally eligible
for enlistment, will be encouraged to
enroll in the training units. Provi-
sion will be made for coordinating
the Reserve Officers training Corps
system, which exists in about one
third of the collegiate institutions,
with the broader plan.

AT OUR HOUSE
Eyes OBlue and Tousehead About the Red Cross
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

And then-we told them Of the Red
Cross.
We had q number Of Red Crosses In
our windows, bat they had not known.
We told them Of the bandages and
supplies needed to allay suffering.
We told them Of the noble women who
are giving their lives to the binding
up Of hurts Of the boys in khaki.
We told them Of the great need Of
money with which to carry on the
work OF mercy.
Then Eyes O'Blue In voice which
choked with pity for the distressed
spoke OF her savings, and Touslehead
clapped her hands at the thought.
This morning / went to the bank
and withdrew their savings, $63.29. and
they are to be put to work-to bet
ter work than they have been doing.
At our house for the duration Of the
war we expect to keep the days." we
expect to wear cobbled shoes and
patched clothing, and if we ever hesi-
tate in our sacrifice shall see the
faces Of Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead
as. with tears on their cheeks, they
smiled at the thought Of the help they
might be to the Red Cross.
Are you helping us to carry the Red
Cross?
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1918-05-24

We have talked 1t over ut eur house.
Talked 1t over as we have never talked
1t over before. We did not want Eyes
OBlue to know about 1t, NOR did we
want to lay any part Of the worlds
heavy burden upon the heart OF TOuSie-
head. We have taught them that the
world is good and a beautiful place.
but last night, gathered beneath the
tight In the humble little parlOr ut our
house, we talked it over between us.
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world Is good, 1t Is not
all good that there are men who have
started out to enslave the world and
whe In the furtherance Of that ambi-
ton have done awful things.
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until we sat with our
arms about them. We told them OF
hands hacked from baby wrists, OF
death rained from the sky upon help
less little ones, Of murder rising from
the seas green deeps to feed upon
helpless mothers and babies.
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going to the far front to fight
and, If need be. die to keep this hOr-
rOr from our land. We told them OF
burns and wounds and suffering.

American DESTROYER Notes.

Some indication of the ceaseless
watch kept OH the high seas, in the
path of American troopships, by
United States naval forces operating
in European waters, may be gained
from statistics just compiled at the
naval headquarters in London. These
statistics show that a single force Of
American destroyers operating from
one base had steamed almost 10000
miles up to April l, 1918. This de-
stroyer was more than $4,000 miles
from May l, 1917, TO April /, 1918.
This destroyer was one of the first
to arrive abroad after war was de-
clared. It has been announced that
Vice Admiral William S. Sims, com.
handing United States naval forces
abroad, offered to send an auxiliar Y
force composed of naval units to t he
French front at the beginning Of the
German offensive. The chief of staff
of the French Navy and Gen. Foch
did not consider that the circumstan-
ceS demanded the presence OF such a
force at the front.
The French have had naval divi-
sion operating in the forces Of the
Lorraine sector for some time, and
the naval units have made their part
of the line as shipshape as possible,
with everything from big naval guns
down to sleeping hammocks and ships
cats.
The American soldiers billeted in
England for temporary training or en-
route for France are more and more
compelling the admiration and cooper
alton of the English people. The Ma
tional Sporting Club of London has
started series of weekly entertain
ment for enlisted men of the United
States Army and Navy.

JOHN MADISON'S FAMILY

space OF a few hours Home Service
had driven poverty from the absent
soldiers home.
The whole aim and object Of Home
Service is to protect the welfare Of the
soldiers family while he is away and
to maintain as far as possible the
same standards Of home life that pre-
vailed while he was at home More
than this, when the standard Of living
is low 1t is the duty and the oppOrtu-
nifty Of Home Service TO raise the
standard.
Think Of what 1t means to John
Madison and his legions Of comrades
in khaki and in blue to realize that In
their absence their loved ones will be
safeguarded as carefully and as con-
stantly as they themselves would have
done. Think what it means to the
morale of these brave lads to know
that whatever may happen in the per-
lis Of warfare the future of their fami-
lies will not be jeopardized.

Proper Food for Weak stomachs.

The proper food for one man may be all
wrong for another. Every one should adopts
diet suited to his age and occupation. ThOser
who have weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and masticato
their food thoroughly. 1t is also importaus
that they keep their bowels regular. Whem
they become constipated or when they feel
dull and stupid after eating. they should talks

on May 9th. The third word of the
slogan is the most important, and
every one will be urged to Loosen"
up their purse strings as widely as
possible and tdig down. as far as
possible.
This means every one-every one
who can possibly give to the Boys
who are across the seas
There isn't any part of humanitari-
an work that the Red Cross does not
do. It helps the wounded soldier, it
helps the permanently disabled soldier
and it helps their families. The Amer
lean Red Cross is far reaching, for not
only does it help the boys in the
camps and hospitals of this Country,
but it cares for them abroad.
The re-education of mutilated sold
iers is one of the most important of
the works of the American Red Cross.
1t is being carried on jointly by the
French Government and our own Red
Cross. The Red Cross has provided
more than six hundred mutilated
soldiers with artificial legs of the best
type, and has established factory
near Paris, where artificial legs are
manufactured. The mutilated soldier
must return to ordinary community
life, and should enter industry on a
basis of competition with able-bodied
men. Cripples who have lost an arm
or leg, and at first seem hopelessly dis
abled, can be taught many processes
of industry, such as running lathe,
operating motor tractor, controlling
drill, and even the use of farm ma
chinery.
The Red Cross is also trying to keep
the French soldiers homes intact; TO
find homes for the outcast children
who have neither home nor parents,
and to help the refugees and repatries
to find place TO live until they shall
be able to rebuild their homes.
The above are just few of the
things that your contribution to the
Red Cross will help, your contribution
is needed for this help. It is not only
asked of you-to give from your heart
but it is asked as a duty for you to
perform Our boys are giving their
lives what are dollars to those who
are at home, enjoying the light and
sunshine, good food and warm bedsp
The boys in the trenches might be
glad to change places with those who
are asked to give-but they cannot,
We know and they know it.
The Red Cross Stacker who can give
and does not, is despicable as the
army Stacker who does not enlist, for
personal reasons -selfishness.
When the drive starts on May 20,
be sure to have your hand OUT
stretched ready to give-and give
and give much-the needs of the Red
Cross are a hundredfold more than
they were when the first War Fund
drive was made.
A window flag is to be given to each
contributor TO the Second Red Cross
War Fund. 1t is white flag and
Red Cross on a blue field. It is 9 x
81 inches and will be given to all who
make donations during the coming

ond War Fund subscriber. This

SEND THE PAPER
TO THE SOLDIERS

+
A number of our people have SUBJ
scribed to the Star to send it to their
boys in the army, and we would be
glad for others to do so.
The Weekly Star is specially
adapted to the needs of the soldiers
in France or the training camps. We
carefully pack it every week with
home news-just what the boys are
hungry to read Not a bit of it would
be wasted. After the soldier and his
nearest comrade had read it, they
could light fire with it. or one of
them could use it as chest protec-
tor on cold day. Everybody knows
it's warm paper.
The Star sent papers at it's own
expense to Company A all the time
it was at Black Point and on the
border, and while it was at Camp
Wheeler until July /. 1t also sent
papers to good many of the boys in
the various camps. On the first OF

THEY FIGURE ON GETTING
THEIR MONEY BACK

Superintendent of Schools Brinson
has received and is sending out thru
the county, to be posted up in public
places, a number of large white
cards, on which is printed a cartoon
from the American School Board
Journal, showing man dressed as a
cook but labeled "school board" sur
rounded by group of children hold
ing up bowls, labeled school sup
plies" school salaries" building
etc, and all clamoring like SO many
Oliver Twists for more.
At the bottom of the cartoon is
printed in large letters: "The Dilem-
ma. The only solution. Make it posi-
bic to increase the school funds where
needed. Endorse the action of the last
Legislature Vote for the constitu-
tional amendment to Section 8, Ar
ticle XII"
Wherever taxpayer finds one of
these cards sticking up, he should
take his pencil and in the place of
school funds" write "more taxes"
And he should write across the top
of the card in letters as big and black
as he can make them, "Who is pay
ing for all this printing ?"
The Star has been of the opinion all
along that there was big graft in
this proposition, and NOW it is sure OF
lit. Not that it thinks that Mr.. Brin-
son or our school board have any
thing to do with the graft, but they
are being used as catspaws and it is
highly improper for them to distri-
butte propaganda of any kind. But
these cards are expensive printing
and whoever is paying for them ex-
lpect to get their money back and q
great deal more, and that money will
come out of the ten-mill tax the
educational autocracy is trying to
saddle on the people.
These cards cost considerable mon
ley. The cards sent to this. county
would cost So for the stock without
any printing on them. 1t cost money
to print them and to send them out.
We notice that one Of the leading
iidailies of the state. one whose adver-
Using space cost considerable, is run
ming a half-page advertisement fol-
the same purpose.
We have been in the newspaper
business for a good many years anG
we have noticed two things. One il
that poor but honest cause never
had any money to pay for advertising
with. The other is that whenever yot
find any move or cause being well ad
vertised, there is always big money
behind it, and the big money always
expects to get its money back witt
interest.
The ten-mill school tax will be moi
only a burden but graft. VOTE
against it.
