Foreign Officers Here -.
A number of officers detached from
the British and French armies, who
have seen much active service in the.
great battles that have been fought
along the western front in France, have
been giving instructions to the officers
and men relative to trench warfare.
Every strategy of Thea German army
is outlined to the officers and men and.
instruction are given AS to the methods:
of meeting what otherwise might be,
regarded as surprises. Capt. Paradise
Canrobert, fresh from the French army,
but who has good command of the Eng
,lish. Language, made a tour of the various
environments in AN advisory capacity.
He says he can serve his country best'by
saying nothing about his work.
Word has been received that several
more of these officers who have seen
service on the battle front in Europe,
both from the French and British
armies, have been ordered to report
for duty here. >
The communication received by Major
Brightman, British mission, did not
say how many more would come, but it
is presumed that there will be six or
eight. :
The foreign officers have been of
great aid to officers here in teaching
the arts of modern warfare to the
American soldiers.

the cantonment might be attracted to-
it reads as follows: "We have been:
definitely asked by the Surgeon Cen:
eral to supply 5000 nurses by June l.,
for the Army alone, and it is estimated
that probably not far from 10000 adj
ditional nurses will be needed by Jan
uary 1, 1919. It seems evident from
the recent surveys which have. been
made of the nursing resources. of the
country that there are not more than
$4,000 registered nurses in the United
States. If we are to meet the needs
of the Army and Navy, we shall prob
ably need to assign to duty within the
next year not far from 10000 nurses"

lighter quality are available and the
men from all walks of life and from
all army units spend much of their
