From France comes an Impurtunatc
call for nurses TO attend to the wounded

The German enemy Is making desperate
assaults upon the champions OF freedom,
and the latter are not only meeting these
assaults, but repolhng them. Victory
for the right is assured
But these struggles exact cruel toll.
Dead men mark the line Of assault and
retreat Men grievously wounded fall
continuously, but thanks 10 the splendid
organization Of relief that has been put
in operation, there are willing and eager
hands ready to seek out the wounded on
the fields of battle and hurry them to the
relief hospitals for temporary treatment,
and afterwards to the permanent hospitals
FOR the care and attention that may bring
them back 10 normal physical condition.
And here is where the call for nurses
begins They are indispensable in this
work OF recupeTation ci wounded and
shattered men There is incessant de-
rnand for their services. The demand IS
ever ahead Of the supply
