SURGEON GENERAL OF NAVY
APPEALS FOR MORE NURSES
The ever increasing number of Am

sea makes it imperative that the nurs-

augmented. William G. Braisted,
surgeon general of the United States
navy declared:
''The Red Cross has been asked to
obtained this quota by that date. 1t
is the first call upon the womanhood
of our country" he says, "to take
their places behind the lines and at
the naval bases Of our fleets to nurse
back to life those who must inevitably
fall victims to the shot and shell of
the enemy. Before January 1, next,
we will require $4,000 nurses.
"This opportunity, the greatest ever
offered women of the United States,
devolves upon the registered nurses of
the nation who are called upon to en-
roll now. Aside from the voluntary
service of our fighting men, this is
the greatest patriotic effort that our
womanhood can give their country.
1t is privilege, the fulfillment of
which will bring our nurses not only
the blessings and gratitude of the
army and navy but the thanks of a
united people.

must be made up by enlisting new
knitters. We must not lose our place
among the branches. DR.. Smith as.
sures us that the best material to be
