Battles for the dominating point

Today neither side holds Ortlgara.
The barrage fire of both the Austrian

BEST OF CARE
EOR U: S.ARK
IXTRAIXKD WO.MEX WHO WISH
TO GO TO FRONT WITH RED
CROSS, .MIST MAKE WAY FOR
WELL QUALIFIED NURSES.
WASHLN'OTON, D. C.,-June 30
For the average American woman
who wants to help her country in this
war by going to the front as nurse
there Is no hope of her ever realiz
ing her wish.
Only graduate trained nurses are
chosen by the American Red Cross
for war hospital service. And nurses'
aids are also specially trained and
chosen with extreme care.
In previous wars, women nurses
were not Infrequently seen on the
battlefield.,. - -' ' '
In wajr today they never get any
closer to the front than the base
hospital, which generally la out of
sound ot tbe cannonading. The
machine gun and the barrage of
modern warfare has forced the' re
tirement of women Into safer fields.
For the first time In the country's
history the United States Is sending
to the front a modern hospital equip
ment. Uncle Sam's sick and wound
ed in France will receive as good
care as they could get in any hospital
In the United States. The best sur
geons and the best nurses in the
country are going with the troops.
When the American Red Cross was
organized In 1905 the principle was
adopted that not merely trained nurs
es but nurses of character and ex
perience vouched for by recognized
hospitals could be enrolled in the
Red Cross service.
. They receive only $50 per month
while in service. Their hours ot
work are irregular but mostly long.
General Pershing's " contingent
probably will be served by army
nurses who were on the Mexican
border. . ; '-
