GEN. PERSHING
MAKES REPORT
- ;
(By The Associated Press.)
With the American Army in j
France, July 22.— American troops
raided the German lines at Vosges
Friday night. They inflicted 150
casualties on the enemy and sustain
ed virtually none themselves. Ger
man prisoners declare they have been
receiving bad food and poor ammu
nition.
GENERAL GOUAUD’S STIRRING
APPEAL TO HIS SOLDIERS.
On the French Front in France,
Wednesday, July 17.—(By the Asso
ciated Press)—In stirring phrases,
imploring them to stand firm, Gen.
H. J. E. Gouraud, in command of the
French and American troops east of
Rheims and in Champagne, appealed
to his men before the German offen
sive began. In an order issued to
his soldiers, he said:
“We may be attacked at any mo
ment. You all feel that a defensive
battle has been engaged in under
more favorable conditions. You were
warned and are on guard with power
ful reinforcements of infantry and
artillery. You will fight on the
ground you have transformed by
your hard work into redoubtable
fortresses which are invincible if the
passages are properly guarded.
“The bombardment will be terri
ble, but you will stand it without,
weakening. The assault will be vio
lent, in clouds of smoke, dust and
gas, but your position and armament
are formidable.
“In your breasts beat free men’s
brave strong hearts. Nobody will
look behind or recede a pace. Each
of you will have one thought—to kill
and kill many until they cry enough.
“For this reason your general says
you will break this assault and it
will be broken gloriously.”
STUDENT 1URSES
TO BE RECRUITED
Arkansas Must Furnish 390 Students
and Drive Will Begin July 29
and End August 11.
The recruiting of 25,000 students
for nurse training schools will be
started in every state of the union
next Monday, July 29, and end Aug
ust 11. The work in Jackson county
is in charge of Mrs. C. M. Erwin,
county chairman of the woman’s
committee of the Council of Defense,
and she is forming her plans for the
recruiting now, and in a few days will
make the plans public.
A few months ago 997 women reg
istered in Jackson county for war
service. This remarkable number of
registrations caused Jackson county
to rank almost first in per centage,
as many of the more thickly popu
lated counties of the state fell far
short of this record. This showing is
one of which to be proud, and doubt
less when volunteer student nurses
are called for here, a goodly number
will respond, although there were on
ly thirteen registrants who volun
teered to go anywhere as a nurse on
registration day.
The'quota for Arkansas is 390, and
all applicants must be within the pre
scribed age limit of 19 to 35. The
importance of the campaign is so
great that the National Committee
has asked the chairmen and execu
tive committees of the state divisions
and local units to take direct charge
and not delegate the work to a new
committtee which would require time
for organization.
The state chairman, Mrs. Joseph
Frauenthal, is sending a letter with
directions for the campaign to every
county chairman, and preparations
will at once be made for the drive,
which will begin July 29 and close
August 11. Registration cards have
already been consulted in a number
of the counties and a list'obtained of
women who have asked for training
as nurses. Application blanks will
be sent to the county chairmen and
recruiting stations established. Ap
plications may be made both for the
army training school and the civilian
----1
training school. As soon as appli
cation blanks are filed in Washing
ton, candidates will receive from the
chairman if the General Medical
board of the Council of National De
fense a certificate of enrollment in
the United States Student Nurse Re
serve.
What is needed i3 the enrollment in
the United States Student Reserve
of 25,000 physically fit young women
between the ages of 19 and 35, hav
ing full high school training wher
ever possible and preferably college
training. Candidates should not be
refused, however, for lack of having
completed a hgih school course.
Enrollment in the United States
Student Nurse Reserve means that
the candidate will hold herself ready
until April 1, 1919, to take training
when she is offered an assignment in
a training school, unless she has in
the meantime entered other govern
ment war service. The committee °!hr'
nursing of the Council of Nation
Defense will be responsible for call
ing candidates to the civilian hospit
als and the surgeon genei’al’s office
will call the candidates for the army
school if nursing. Those l’egistering
for both schools will be placed on
both lists and will be called where
the first need arises.
FROM A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
W. H. Hill, J. P., Detroit, Texas,
writes: “I used Foley Kidney Pills
and say unhesitatingly that of all I
have used they are the best, and
have done the work where the rest
failed.” Backache, rheumatic pains,
sore muscles, stiff joints and too fre
quexxt bladder action are symptoms of
kidney trouble.—Walker’s Pharmacy.
THE LAST NOTICE.
I will arrest all persons in Jackson
county who own automobiles arid
fail to exhibit license tags both at'
the fi-ont and rear of cai’s.
