CROSS IS 10
KE LARGE PART
N GREAT PARADE
NURSES ARE DECLARED BADLY
NEEDED NOW BY UNITED
221 STATES ARMY.
The Red Cross has been given a
prominent part in the parade which
will start Saturday's big patriotic
demonstration in promotion of the
sale of the government savings
stamps and an urgent call is made
for members from all over the coun-
ty to be in the parade.
The newest issue of "Important
Items’’ the Red Cross publication of
the Southwestern division contains,
s call for more nurses.
The appeal follows:
Appeal is Made.
“Nurses and more nurses, In Amer-
ica is to win the war, la the cry
of the nation to her women today.
There are at present about 7.000
nurses in the field and the first
contingent of the American army is
scarcely In the field. Men are being
called to the colors by the thousands.
Whether they will be protected and
cared for when sick and wounded de-
pends on whether American women
are willing to make the same sac-
ricice their brothers are making.
Failing In this they will have done
incalculable harm to, the efficiency
and morale of our troops.
. "Over 500,0110 men are in train-
ing in the American cantonments
today. In a few months there will
be a million. Though the American
army is known as the strongest,
healthiest in the world there must.
In the nature of things, be some
sickness. In order that the sick
be provided for and the well pro
tected we must provide a system
of hospitals with doctors, nurses and
equipment equal to that of our larg-
est cities; for these cantonments
are as a rule, far away from any
usual facilities for caring for the
sick.
Women Assigned.
"About 2.000 women to date have
been assigned ’ to active duties in
cantonment hospitals snd several
hundred more to the navy nurse
corps. Women are also -working in
the sanitary zones about the can-
tonments. As new armies are called
many thousand more will be needed.
“Outside of actual work in the
army there is a tremendous respon-
sibility upon nurses of today to aid
in the protection of public health.
With the new problems incident to
war taken with the fact that so
many nurses have already been call-
ed for military service, the problem
becomes acute. It can not be sat-
isfactorily solved unless thousands
of women will come forward, both to
meet the new needs and take the
place of those who have gone.
Strained Every Resource.
“In the bitter struggle of the past
three years our allies have strained
every resource to the breaking point
and we must be ready to gradually
take upon our shoulders the burden
of caring for their sick and wounded
as well as our own.
“The women today, over 21. who
have had at least two years training
in some recognized nurses training
school and who meet other necessary
requirements, have by enrolling for
active service under the banner of
the Red Cross, the privilege of per-
forming a service which is vital to
the success of American arms.
“The women who have not had
the necessary training can find her
largest opportunity for service by
taking it now. From the moment
she enters a nurses training school
she will be helping solve the present
nursing problems and when the war
is over she will be able to aid in
the tremendous rehabilitation work
which must follow in Its wake.
