NURSES IN 4 KICK
Assert They Were Discharged
for Associating With Privates.
Many of Them at Funston Saw
Service Overseas.

Charges that army nurses in serv-
ice at Camp Funston and Fort Riley
have been discharged for social rela-
tions with enlisted men. have been re-
ceived in Topeka. According to re-
ports, the claims of the nurses are to
be presented to the war department
Army officials in. charge of the camp
assert the claims are mere idle army
camp gossip.
1t is charged that nurses in army
hospital service have been dismissed
because of mere social relations with
men in the service. Many or these
nurses have seen overseas service and
discharges at this time have aroused
bitter feeling in many quarters A
memorandum of the complaints of the
nurses has been sent to Governor AL
lem Col. George r. Peed, however,
asserts that the charges of the nurses
are without foundation and that such
action as has been taken has come
from Washington. All nurses dropped
from service have been honorably dis
charged, he stated.
Charges of Nurses.
Charges of the nurses have been
sent out in the following statement d.
rect to the chief of the army nurses
corps:
First-Several of the members of the
army nurse corps from Fort Riley, Nan
have De6n u1SCnarBel from lHe i"t
having social relations with the enlisted
men.
Second-Ever since the nurses have been
stationed at Fort Riley these social rela-
tions have ben carried on. While a great
need for nurses existed, the eyes of those
in authority were apparently closed to the
fact and also have been closed to special
cases that have been brought to their at
tention.
we feel that It is an injustice thus to pun
ish few nurses who have given hard
unselfish service for many months.
Fourth-The majority of the nurses al
Fort Riley have had several relations with
enlisted men during their service at Fort
Riley. They demand the reinstatement OF
the nurses who were discharged for this
reason or asked to be released from the
service under the same conditions.

but she could not reply to any ques-

died Under her body was found a
note telling of her fear of insanity
and explaining her desire to die near
friends who had been so good to her.
Also there was an empty one-ounce
vial near her. For several months, it
is said, Miss Holt had been suffering
with spells of acute melancholia.
Take Body to Beloit.
