tanned. A special democratic Ger
man propaganda department has been
formed. and by it's direction the walls
of Berlin's public buildings and the

posters bearing portraits Of the mem
bers Of the new government. Neu-

to cease eulosizing the kaiser and
the military might Of Germany. Prt1s-

Came Here 4rom New York.

Miss Lent came to Washington from
New York, where she was then secre-
tary Of the National Organization for
Public Health Nursing. She Joined
the public health service after the
outbreak Of the war.
1t is the aim of the public health
service to organize extra cantonment
zones IN districts where camps and
caatonments are located. The Army
has supervision over the health Of men
in the service. while the surrounding
zones are under the direction of the
public health service. Washington
was the last city thus organized:
The object of the nursing section. Of
the service is the hope to unite per-
manently the various nursing $gen-
cies In communities with a view to
reaching the schools and homes and
health of their populations: Particu..
lar attention is taken in the care Of
the children, the opinion being held
that the only effective way to cure
sickness and infirmities Is by treat
ment at tender age.
Miss Lent will probably go to some
southern community in the near fu-
ture to organize nursing agencies as
she has done in Washington.

When Washington was declared a
sanitary zone by the public health
service and DR.. Mustard of that serv-
ice was put in charge, the city be-
came the thirty-sixth Of the country
to be placed under government con-
troll.
Miss Lent directed the various nurs-
ing agencies here and worked untir-
ingly, often twenty-four hours on a
stretch, without sleep. She thorough
ly organized these various agencies
and had under her supervision forty
trained nurses and hundreds Of vol
unteers from a number of organiza-
lions and government departments.
The city was divided into four dis
tricts, with headquarters at the Web
