Women ARE Urged
TO TRAIN As NURSES
Needs of Our Army and Navy
Must Be Met to Utmost
Extent.

Sin the United States today is found
large proportion of the available
nursing service of the world. Our
allies in this war are looking to us to
supplement their nursing service. If
the women of America fail to realize
their duty at this time the American
men who have been called upon to
offer their lives >for their country may
suffer accordingly"
This was a statement recently made
by Miss Jane A. Delano, director Of
the American Red Cross nursing serv-
ice.
IF this war goes on we shall be COM
PEELED to extract aid to the last frac-
ton of trained nursing material avail
able in the United States" said Miss
DelanO. "The men on the fighting
fronts must be nursed back to health.
They are relying in large measure
upon the American nurses for this
service; the nurses must not fail
them.
'"The problem confronting us is to
meet to the utmost extent, with the
trained nursing personnel available in
the United States, the needs of our
army and navy and the armies of our
allies, protecting as best we may the
welfare of our civilian population.
Several thousand American nurses
are now in France assigned to duty
in the various branches Of the military
service and almost as many more are
needed for our own cantonment hos
pitfalls. If we are to continue to meet
the demands made upon us, the women
of the country must be willing to &C.
cept equal sacrifices with the men. The
public, too, must be willing to sacri.
fee the service of nurses who are re-
CURED for military purposes.
"For many years to come, the de-
mand for women trained for nursing,
including woman welfare work and
health service, will increase tremend-
OuSly, and to meet this need women
of ability and education can do no bet
ter than to take seriously the work of
training as nurses believing that they
are not only qualifying themselves for
most important service on the compile
ton of their course, but that even dur
ing the period of training they are
helping to solve the nursing problems
confronting u.s."

TOMMY" FINE FIGHTER
Americans Admire the Spirit of
British Army.
Entirely New Feeling Growing Up Be.
tween Two Kindred Nations
in Arms.

London.-The military correspond
ent of the London Times, writing from
France, says:
"In France we have suddenly discov-
cred America, and America has discOv-
cred us. How different we both are
other! We did not know what high
ly educated, professional and modest
gentleman the American regular officer
was, nor did we quite realize what a
splendid body Of active fighting men
he was going to bring over with him.
awe are a great deal more enthu-
siastic about the Americans, and, if
| may say So more proud Of them, than
we show on the surface. How can we
not regard as men Of our own flesh and
of all grades who come to us, who
speak our own language and bear our
own names, who understand US in a
flash of time, and whose point of view
on almost every conceivable subject
under heaven is our own?
HtSc SoulllIcIIS are, nope, Ilu-
tual. The Americans did not know
what our armies were, nor what they
had done or are doing. Many Of them
know now. They witnesses under fire
our grand attacks and our raids. They
observe with establishment the terrific
power Of our modern artillery and the
glorious activities of our splendid air.
men.
''They see the spirit, the discipline and
tho emulation of our infantry, and
they are profoundly impressed by
them. I hope that the pride which we
feel, without venturing to express it,
in the Americans is a little reciprocal
ed by them. can only say that every
American soldier who has told me Of
his experiences on the British front
has spoken with enthusiastic admira-
ton of, our men, and that an entirely
new feeling, the consequences of which
may be immense, is growing up be-
tween the two kindred nations in
arms"

RATlONING is SYSTEM URGED
British Workingmen Demand Better
Distribution Methods for Food
Supplies.

London.-Resolutions calling on the
government to introduce a system of
rationing and asserting that a grave
crisis is approaching in many of the
working class districts were adopted
by the Workers National committee,
which includes representatives of most
of the large trades unions. Robert
Smith, president of the Miners Fed
GRAFTON, is chairman of the committee.
The resolutions say that in some
working class districts women are COM

milk, butter bacon or margarine. A
bad system of distribution is said to be
largely responsible for this state Of
