The nursing department of the Red Cross, In charge of Miss Elizabeth Stevens, has enrolled from 200 to 300 women, graduate and practical nurses, undergraduates and nurses aides, who have been sent out on the cases both in the city and throughout the state. Xot a day has passed since the first epidemic that frequent calls have not been made at Red Cross headquarters for assistance for hte nursing depart ment. Soldiers' families have received special care arid have received hospital care wherever It has been necessary. Since the beginning of the first epi demic In November the Portland office lias furnished service as follows in 1'ortland and throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington: Auditorium, 19 graduates, io undergraduates, six aids; Camp Lewis, four Red Cross nurses, one graduate and one undergraduate; "Waldo Hall, Corvallis, two Red Cross nurses, two graduates and two under graduates; Eugene university, two grad uates, one practical nurse; Vancouver, three graduates, two undergraduates, two practical nurses; Benson Polytech nic School, seven graduates, five prac tical nurses, three aids, one graduate dietitian, two dietitian aids; miscel laneous work throughout the city, 40 graduates, undergraduates and aids; Crane, Or., one graduate nurse for vis iting or emergency hospital; Camas, Wash.. one garuate nurse, visit ing; Gaston, Or., one graduate nurse tor family work: Tillamook, Or., one undergraduate; The Dalles, Or., one graduate, 1 practical nurse. Since January 1, 1919, the Visiting Nurse Association, of which Miss Ma rian G. Crowe is superintendent, has made 416 visits, the majorityof which have been influenza cases. Some of the cases reported have been families in which six or seven were ill at the same time, all requiring not only bed Bide care but meals and other atten tions that would be missing with the vife or mother of the family confned to a sick bed. The nurses endeavor to give neces sary treatment and eare during their visits, but where there is no person in attendance during the intervening hours between the nurses' visits, hospi tal arrangements have been made whenever possible. The nurses have been untiring in their efforts to se every patient who lias been reported. Four of the staff are at present ill with influenza and the shortage has made it very difficult to carry on the work. It is not possible to answer every call on the day it is received, but a visit has been made within the next 24 hours. The territory covered by the Portland Visiting Nurses extends from Mount Scott to St. Johns. Several motor squad girls have given part time and the use of their machines, which has helped a great deal. Other agencies of the city have been co-operating and helping the association in every way possible. , Soldiers of Vancouver barracks have been wide in their praise of the faith ful service given by the Army nurses at the Army hospital, but little h been heard of their efforts outside of the barracks. When the influenza epi demic was at its height in November Miss Alice M. Tappan, chief nurse, and her little staff of S5 nurses cared for 1400 patients. There were no deaths from influenza during this period and but few cases of the malady among the nurses. The women wore masks and took the same precautions used in any isolation wards. The pneumonia pa tients are treated entirely in the open. large screened pbrches having been built for this purpose. ful and for which they seem most anx ious. The people here are peculiarly desperate after being under the Boches so long. "There is no question about it, that we get the first chance in any new work. The prefect here said the other day when I asked him why some other war works were not represented in this region: 'We feel that the Amer ican committee for devastated France does its work always better than any other, hence it is to them i we appeal first; and they never refuse.' Wasn't that a fine tribute? I wish you could see the things we do here in a day. The damp, the chill, the hunting for coal, the getting it up here, the nasty mud we wade through, the terri ble roads, the unbearable fogs and wet, the searching for food, the return late at- night from- our long trips and cen ters, our Bleeping on blankets or any old bed and the dirt of these occupied Boche houses! "The place where we go to the can teen, the dark tramping home from the warehouse. It has thrills beyond the discomforts! This experience has been very illuminating invaluable. Mrs. Dike wants me to go home and talk about all this to the committee, to you in New York, and to Oregon, and to raise money; and then to come back here next Summer. Certainly the big work is Just starting for us to do over here. The temporary relief is passing and will be passed in six or eight months, and then will come the real reconstruction, and we will find much to do. "Between our work at canteen at 8 A. M., workroom from 10 to 1. canteen again at 2 and the trips to centers near by, visits to the prefect, getting coal, wood, food, mending cars, run ning the house, writing reports, having visitors, hunting a new workroom, writing an occasional letter, we find the days too short, and we tumble into our blankets with a hot water bottle, worn out, but happy to be helping even a bit in this really tragic community. We had an interview with the prefect today, and he was most appreciative of the work done by the A. C. D. F. 'and wanted us to continue in the work. I said: 'We wei- the first here and we hope to be th last out. "With best wishes to all the workers in America for a happy New Year, cor dially, FRANCES PLAIT." Auxilaries to Batteries A and B, Ore gon Field Artillery, held their- annual meeting Tuesday, January 7, at which time they adopted a. strong resolution affecting returned soldiers which will be sent to Oregon Congressmen.

WomensClubs Relief Worker Tells What la Done in France. Portland Woman Annerfs That IT. S. Haa Much to Do .to Aid French. T RS. W. H. SKENE, Portland, chair XYX man of the American committee for devastated France, returned early in the week from a four months visit in New York, where she kept in close touch with the work of the New York headquarters. The American committee plans to replace the work of the Red Cross among civilians, which will soon cease in France, and to meet the de mand of this enlarged field a drive will soon be made for $2,000,000 in the cities of the United States with a popu- iation or over au.uuu. At the present time the American committee is furnishing civilian relief and rehabilitating farms in 200 com munities in France. In a conference with Miss Anne Mor- gant National vice-president of the American committee, who recently re turned from France for a short visit Mrs. Skene was urged to further the work of the Portland chapter to meet the increased demands on the American committee which have come with the reconstruction period. In a recent letter from Mrs. Robert Treat Piatt, former chairman of the rortland chapter, who is now in France come idea of the great work of the committee is gained: "We have given in eight days 307 women and children complete outfits, and the old men and boys get their clothing at the Citadel, which are made from repaired and cleansed military garments, and they also get new shoes. I have had a chance to see the practical side of our garment work, and it is admirable. We have to buy In Paris wrappers and black skirts and big blouses and capes and shoes, the rest is all sent from America. The sweaters for children and for adults are splen did, and the knitted caps of all sizes and the cache nez and our refugee bags and aprons, and then the black shawls for which ihey are mosi grate- Club work haa again been halted by the second wave of the influenza, epi demic The present interruption comes as a more serious interference, as club programmes had Just been resumed with renewed energy since the press of Red Cross work had slackened. Many programmes will be delayed until all danger of the epidemic has passed. The past week has been one of unusual interest, due to the visit of Mrs. Charles Castner, of Hood River, president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Castner has been appointed the only woman member of the Oregon reconstruction committee, and through her connection with the general work of the state the Fed erated Clubs will take up reconstruc tion problems pertaining to women. Reconstruction work is still prac tically unorganized, but the club women are anxiously awaiting an opportunity to be set to this 'great task following the war. . - The meeting of the Portland Shakes peare - Study Club announced for Wednesday.
