Why The War Department Puts A Limit

New York and Chicago are the only
cities in this country which, accors
ding to census reports, have passed

units are continually shifting ana Q

obvious impossibility. Under sucn
circumstances, the distribution OF sew
eral million parcel post packages each
month would require o really enor-
nous number of men and vehicles
This organization, OF course, would
have to be deducted from the strength
Of General Pershing's fighting forces.
Army authorities in France are
making every effort to secure regular
and prompt handling of first-clase
mail. This Is an enormous problem IN
itself and Is far more important to
American soldiers and their families
than a delivery of packages from
home. The War Department is pro-
viding better food and clothing to the
men in France than they could buy in
the United States. The Quartermas-
ter Corps is now making cigarettes
oud candy ro1u1ar foaturaa of thu
daily rations. One thing for which
the army cannot provide satisfactory
substitutes is letters from loved ones
at home. For that reason, the re-
striction on packages will be contin-
ued until the postal authorities In
France are able to handle them with
out imperiling the delivery of first
class mail to the American soldiers.
Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1918-10-17

One of the minor annoyances Of
American army life in France, to
which letters from the front give spe-
cial prominence, is the restrictions
which the War Department has put
on packages for the soldiers Of the
American Expeditionary forces. The
lighting men are not particularly in
terested in the details Of handling
army mail; they only know that the
postal order about sending packages
to the front eliminates the little Pc
riodical surprises that gave them one
Of their greatest pleasures last year
and provided a highly appreciated
compensation for the hardships and
dangers Of fighting in foreign land.
Therefore, the boys on the other side
resent the order and discuss IL az
an utterly unjust curtailment of their
rights.
Although War Department of
ficials, a majority Of whom have sons
or close relatives in France, sympa-
thize keenly with the soldiers COM
plants about the curtailment on
packages, they know that o modifica-
ton of the order is out Of the Ques-
ton. Nevertheless, realizing that
the men at the front are extraordi-
narily patient-un hardships that
cannot be overcome, they are making
every effort to present the reasons
for the order to the individual fight
ing men, 80 that they may appreciate
the conditions that inspired a ban on
bulky mail.
If each soldier in the American
overseas forces should receive O s.
pound package from home once a
month, the postal forces in France
would be compelled to handle more
than 5000 net tons Of parcel post

The prevailing epidemic Of Spanish influenza,
which has reached the proportions Of national
menace, demands the complete mobilization Of all
trained nurses in America.
The great majority of graduate nurses have al
ready enlisted with the Army Nurse Corps and
the Red Cross units for service abroad, but there
are still great number Of trained women for
nursing who are retired from fhe active practice
of their profession or who are engaged in the
private care of invads or the children of wealthy
families. t#%t@ ss.5
It is these last who should be Immediately mob
ilized to fight the flu epidemic in army training
camps and in war industries whose efficiency is en-
dangered by disease. Scores Of trained nurses are
now paid high price to care for semi nvalids,
who suffer from selfish imagination more than
from illness, and for normally healthy children
who would be better for little real maternal care
These trained nurses. under modern hospital con-
dtions could care for from Is to 20 flu patients
each and save dozens of lives which might be lost
through lack Of proper care.
The government should call upon all hospitals
and nurse training schools for an immediate CEN
sus of graduates. Those not in actual war service
in France, in hospitals here, engaged in the care
of patients seriously i'll, should be summoned to
appear before army medical corps officials and
show cause why they should claim exemption
from service in army camps where disease is cpl
demic
No civilian has the right to monopolize the life
saving power of nurse in time of national need,
and no nurse of high patriotic and professional
principles will permit selfish interest to stand in
the way of essential service to the nation.
Mobilize the trained nurses. The lives of Ameri-
can soldiers are at stake.
