TRAINING CAMPS
FOR ARMY NURSES
May Have to Be Instituted in Order to
Make Up for Deficiency in
the Service.

Washington, May 24-Training camps
for army nurses may be established as
a result of the shortage Of nurses at the
hospitals here and In France. Score.
tary Baker recently conferred with Sur
geon General Gorgas and members of
the army nurse corps regarding the
best way of increasing the number of
available nurses without drawing too
heavily upon private hospitals.
The alternative to the establishment
of training camps for nurses is to as
sign apprentice nurses or aides with the
graduate nurses in the camp hospitals,
thus getting the benefit of their serv-
ices while they are being educated. An
early decision on the course to be fol-
lowed is expected.

BRITISH ARE HURRIED
TO RHEIMS SECTOR
Rupprecht Sends Bavarians- to Aid
Crown Prince; Haig's Men Follow.

Frederick William, the German i'm
perial crown prince, has been obliged
to call for help from his cousin, Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria. Ger
man divisions from the army in the
north have been hurried down to pro-
tect the western flank of the defeated
army which has been driven back ov-
er the Marne and elected from Cha
teau Thierry by Franco-American
troops.
When the Bavarian crown prince
answered the German crown princes
appeal for help and sent some of his
divisions from the Picardy front to
aid the Germans in the Marine salient,
equal numbers of British divisions
were detached from the northern front
and moved to the battle sector south
west of Rheims. The British divi-
sions are composed of picked troops
1t is interesting to note that the
British divisions on the front south
west of Rheims have again taken the
same place in the battle order which
the British occupied when driven back
in the May offensive. Their trans
port from the British front to the
Champagne front was executed IN
a most skillful manner.
French troops continue to cross the
river Marne in strong force north
east of Chateau Thierry. They are
following rapidly on the heels of the
enemy. who cannot long hold ground
with General de Mitry's army coming
M from the south and General de
Goutte's army coming from the west
The latter army already has reached
the region of Chatelet wood. General
de Gouttes troops. which have been
fighting hard since the beginning OF
the counter offensive, Sunday nlgn'
crushed the effort made by the Ger
mans and took 1000 prisoners.
Information received in Paris thi:
morning says that French patrols op'
Grating beyond Chateau Thierry have
learned that the retreat of the Ger
mans extends several miles deep. Th'

GERMAN PRISONERS OF
WAR.

Especial Correspondent

-
II is impossible to get back of the
German lines to learn the composition
Of the German army. but it is not i'm
possible to learn something OF that
army. This was done by seeing
great many men and boys from the
army in prison camps in England ana
France.
Not far from London there is camp
for German officers who have been cap
tured by the British. AS we approach
ed this camp we saw 40 men in the
blue-gray uniform of Germany, march
ing along the roadside for exercise
These men were permitted to take the
exercise outside the guarded camp on
their honor to return and TO make no
trouble for the three unarmed BRUSH
officers who accompanied them. Ihey
lived up to this pledge. Besides nav
ing given their word. they must have
realized that it would be difficult TO
get out of England should they at
tempt to make a break TOT llOerly
They were not permitted, however 10

The camp itself was surrounded by
barbed wire entanglements and watch
ed over by guards with rifles. Ihere
were 300 German officers in the camp
when we visited it, and enough private
soldiers. also German prisoners o.
war. to act as their orderlies.
We we're first taken into room the
size of a small church. There was
platform in one end and benches II

form was a piano and a young oIllce
