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

along the line.
Also the Red Cross has modified
Its former 'requirements for enroll

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,

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

nurses as needed to the United States

Red Cross nurses slip off quietly
to their foreign service, like the sold
iers. 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

prepared by years of the most scrsp
clously exacting training. Sometimes
they go In groups for contagious aad
