Our own American Red I Cross nurses have gone Into military service as members of the A. & N. Nurse Corps over 8000 strong; over 2000 are ln 'Fraixe taking care of our own wounded, or at. the request of Great Britain serving with the British expeditionary forces. They have gone Into Italy and Greece and are on their way to Palestine, and they are somewhere near Salonika. And yet. "Five thousand more grad uate nurses before the first of June" is the campaign call of the Red Cross nursing service; and this is coupled with "twenty-Hve thousand by the first of January." The surgeon-general of the army has asked the Red Cross to supply this number .before these dates. The United States army and navy nurse corps, and the Red Cross nursing service are all calling to the gradu ate nurse to enter military service. That there may be enough r.urss for the army we are mobilising the nursing profession as well as these various departments of the govern ment is pressing every Individual qualified nurse to make an Immedi ate decision as to her willingness to serve with the army and navy. Every day In the headquarters of the American Red Cross In Washing ton groups of trained nurses are be ing mobilized for military service for the cantonments at home or the war hospitals abroad. They are called like soldiers and respond like sol diers. The country Is leanine upon them as heavily as on its fighters. For the United States Is now fully awake to the realization that an ade qnateknuring force Is Just a essen tial to victory as adequate Infantry or artillery fleet. So keen. Indeed. Is this realization that every man and woman Is In volved. The government Is calling on the general publJcto do' Its share to make Ihn sacrifices, fill In the raps, and promote all public and home health measures, to release the trained nurse for war duty.

' - urged to give the preference to those nurses awaiting orders or mobiliza tion that the financial burden may not be made too great. Practically every training school for nurses In the United States Is expanding Its accommodations to take In a greatly Increased number of student nurses to help meet the unparalleled situa tion. Adjustment Is going on all along the line. Also the Red Cross has modified Its former 'requirements for enroll ment. The' age limit has been low ered to twenty-one years, and In spe cial cases nurses over 40 are accept ed. " Smaller school for nurses have been put on the accredited, list, and applicants are Judged on their mer its. On the average more than 1000 nurses a month are enrolling with the Red Cross -nursing service, and its total enrollment, which is the largest of any pursing organization In the world, exceeds 19.000. - What It means to bo a Red Croa nurse Is a question that thousands, even hundreds of thousands of wom on. are asking. The answer is that to be a Red Cross nurse Is to have met the standard of enrollment, and to be subject to such calls of dntv from the Red Cross as are specified In the enrollment. . The Red Cross nursing service Is the reserve of the United States army and navy nurse corps, and supplies nurses as needed to the United States uble health service.

The Red Cross nurse haa become a ytnbo!ical figure to the world. Courage Is her tradition. While countless thousands of men and womrn can only follow the array and navy with thoughts of eagerness and yearning, by virtue of their knowl edge and skill she becomes a mem ber of the one group et- women per mitted to belong to the military, di rectly serving the colors, sharing the fortunes and some of the risks of war. Miss Alice Fitzgerald. R. N.. the Edith Cavell memorial nurse from Massachusetts, after nineteen months et work In military hospitals In France, wrote to her al?ter nurses In the United States: . 'The wounds which you will be called opon to handle and dress are such as you have never Imagined It possible for a human being to be vic tim of and yet live.

Sometimes they go singly, sometimes in groups of a hundred o' more. Often the city is asleep, as our nurses, veritable battalions or lire, set rail for France, their clear eyes turned toward the war. their hands steady for the task that await them. They will know what to do when the stretchers come In; they will know what te do when the op erations follow fast upon each other; they will know what to do to ease agony, and bring comfort; they will know how to give to every boy and man bis fullest chance of life. Often these units of nurses are mobilized for highly specialised nurs ing in different branches of surgery prepared by years of the most scrsp clously exacting training. Sometimes they go In groups for contagious aad psychiatric work.
