HILE Portland, is mobilizing her
married graduate nurses In the
organization known - as "The
Home Defense Nurses," and ypung girls
are taking Jhe first aid courses in Ore
gon Agricultural College, in the Toung
Women's Christian Association, " under
the auspices of the Red Cross, college
women are looking toward vassar,
where a special course in nursing will
be given this Summer for college grad
uates from 21 to 31 years of age.
Miss Harriet Wood.- of the Portland
rublic library, is chairman of the local
committee that is taking names for en
rollment in the class.
Ever since the United States entered
the European War it has been the keen
desire of - Vassar trustees, faculty,
alumnae and undergraduates to have
some definite, necessary and- helpful
part in its prosecution. Last June, 11
response to an appeal of the Provl
sional Alumnae Council that, provided
the war should continue without pros
pect of termination, some patriotic
use might be made of Vassar's build
ings and grounds, the board of trus
tees appointed a committee of three to
devise such a plan. The committee was
composed of Frank R. Chambers, Frank
L. Babbott and Mrs. John T. Blodgett,
84, chairman.
The Department of Nursing of the
American Red Cross, the mobilizing
agency lor nurses in military service.
is in urgent need of recruits. The
present average of enrollment is 1000
nurses a month. But this enrollment.
heavy as it is. will not be sufficient to
keep pace with the military needs of
the Government-
It has been estimated by the Sur
geon-General's office that if the war
continues, within a short time the Red
Cross will nee4 between 30,000 and 40,-
uuu nurses lor tne Army alone. The
allies also are depending upon us to
supplement their own nursing service.
There are between 80,000 and 90,000
registered nurses in the United States
at the present time. Approxmately
6.500 of ths number are enrolled Red
Cross nurses, the majorty of whom are
n active service, ready- for mobiliza
tion or prepared for special service. It
the Red Cross enrollment which
forms the reserve of the United States
Army Nurse Corps and the United
States 'Navy Reserve Corps.
According to Miss Jane Delano.
chairman of the National Committee on
Red Cross Nursing Service, the fact
that the recruiting of nurses is not
keeping pace with military, needs, does I
not indicate that the women of this
country are "slackers"- in the nursing
service, but merely shows that the sud
den and extraordinary heavy demand
for - nurses has . not been thoroughly
realized by the women available for
this service.
Already the nursing service of the
Red Cross has equipped and sent
abroad 1790 nurses for service with the
Army and Navy Nurse Corps; has pro
vided about 2500 nurses for home serv
Ice with the Army . and Navy Nurse
Corps in camp and cantonment hospi
tals, and has over 2000 nurses organized
into units and practically ready for
mobilization.
In addition to the nurses serving
with the Army and Navy Nurse Corps,
56 Red Cross public' health nurses are
on duty in the sanitary zones sur
rounding the cantonment; 89 are serv
ing directly under the- American Red
Cross in France, 12 in Roumania, three
in Greece and one in Serbia.
By careful adjustment the nursing
service so far has met the demands of
the Government in furnishing units of
nurses for military, naval and public
health service, without seriously dis
organizing the ranks from which they
have been taken. But as these demands
grow daily, a serious problem arises in
home nursing for civilian needs. It
has been estimated by the Army Nurse
Corps 'that over 30,000 nurses will be
needed on the basis of present esti
mates for an army of 1,000,000 men.
This situation is made doubly serious
because the conditions of war which
take wage-earners from the homes and
nurses from the. civilian hospitals, pro
duce an increased amount of sickness
and distress among the civilian popu
lation, with " decreased facilities for
guarding its health.
Miss Julia Lathrop, head of the chil
dren's bureau in Washington, urges as
a war conservation measure the imme
diate extension of trained nursing serv
ice to the women and children of the
prairie and mountainous districts of
the far West to lower the appalling
maternal and infant mortality which
is draining our National life; and she
further says that 20.000 additional pub
lie health nurses would reduce infant
mortality in the United States to
minimum. .
The- subjects- taught in the three
months' course include anatomy, physi
ology, 'applied chemistry, bacteriology,
pathology, hospital economics, nutrition
and dietetics, drugs and solutions and
elementary nursing (including bandag-
ng). For observation clinics we have

mental troubles, the Vassar Brothers'
Hospital for general medical and surgi
cal cases and the recently-established
tuberculosis camp near Poughkeepsie.
It is also purposed to establish a small
observation ward at the college.
This intensive three months' course
is open to graduates of standard col
leges between the years 1909-1918 in
clusive. The school term is from June
24 to September 14.
The student fee for the course will
be 395. This will include registra
tion, tuition, board and room and a spe
cified quantity of laundi'y so that a
vacation spent at Vassar College will
be .less expensive than in any Summer
resort.

EUGENE, Or, April 20. (Special.) The committee in charge of rais
ing Lane County quota of 3477,000 for the third liberty-loan con
structed a large dial to record subscriptions up to 3500,000. Pledges
which poured in from all cities and counties forced the indicator around -for
the limit during the first week and the hand is now moving around
the circle for a second time, indicating the -oversubscription of the
minimum amount asked. The total for the-county Is now approaching
3650.000.
Several street meetings proved an effective means of creating en
thusiasm for the loan. Private Michael J. O'Rourke, Canadian soldier,
who had won the Victoria Cross, distinguished conduct medal and mili
tary medal, addressed one of these meetings.
