NRsES AND RANK

T doubtless has been noticed by many Deawareans
that the War Department in lis tentative plan for the
reorganization Of the army utterly ignores the request OF
the noble women Of the Army Nurse Corps for rank.
And this in spite Of The fact that the Nurse Corps
whose intelligence and msesh patriotism has stood the
acid test Of tile late has asked for rank only the
ground OF increased efficiency.
on the effective work OF nurse corps depends the
lives Of our sick wounded soldiers That work must
be done through unframed and constantly shifting hos
pial orderies.
Unless the nurses have rank they have recognized
authority over these orderes and the time and vitality
Of the nurses which should be given TO wounded is
wasted in struggles with these medically ignorant men.
In view Of the fact that the nurses notwithstanding
their magnificent services In the late ask for moth
ing for themselves since the relative rank they
llotug carries commission, emoluments or increase
in pay; in view Of the fact that request upheld
by hundreds Of eminent physicians with experience in the
Army Medical Corps and that Allies Canada and
Australia have found that rank accomplshes what
nurse corps claim for H. many persons regard the
pee ignoring by the War Department Of the request Of
the nurse corps stupid and unpalrolio proceeding.
There is now before the Military Affairs Committees
Of the Congress bill granting relative rank to the Army
Nurse Corps Many believe that this Jones -Raker bill
should receive the support If the country and its prnc
pies become law even though the War Department with
hold its endorsement Of them, They centend that Con-
gress II that the Army Reorganization Bill which it
puts through contains rank for and that the peo
pie should II that Congress does not pattern after
the negligence Of the War Department This much at
least we do to help corps in its effort to
do Its part by those who risk their lives for country
