full wow of the remnant of the regi

have won many hard lights since
then:
“Helmut les niorts!" "Stand up. ye

victory! ”
There was something in tiis voice,

The dead of Vaux lay dead as before,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16,—In or
der that those who have Income and

them, Collector of Internal Revenue
Justus S Wardell calls attention of

Public Is Invited to Aid Campaign to Find
Needed Nurses for War Work
Br VERNON J. LEROY. Ok»r>
The graduate nurses of America ure coming to the aid of army and
navy, in response to the cull of Surgeons General Gorgas and Braisted.
Twenty-five a day are enrolling in Chicago alone, and proportionate num
bers in other centers. In addition, letters are pouring in from all points
asking how to proceed.
The nurses themselves will enlist. Getting them is the easiest part
of the campaign.
Another problem is to get young women to enter training schools
to prepare themselves to fill the places left vacant by nurses going into
service. It is proposed to open training schools for nurses at various
army camps where the students will have ample experience. Ijitcr they
will be sent to civil hospitals for graduation.
The greatest task of all is to make the public understand that its
part in the nurses’ campaign is very important. The public must supply
these student nurses—they ure the sisters and daughters of the people.
The public must also learn to get along with less nursing, to let just as
many nurses as possible go into service or into the hospitals where they
are vitally necessary.
Army and navy, government officers and the heads of nursing bureaus
all are calling on the people to back up the Red Cross and help to enroll
the 25,000 nurses which must be had this year for our fighting men; and
to build up a reserve for the other thousands that must bo had for the
years of war which may yet face us.

tifl cates,
"It is the aim of the governmen
to make the floating of this issue o
certificates of indebtedness a popula:

will be to the advantage of thos<
whose taxes are measured in com
paratively small amounts as well a:
