FDR ARMY NURSES
IhiHiiK Advance of American Force

Washington, Oct. 17. That army
nurses -who served overseas with the
American forces during the war bad
their share of service and suffering
is shown In the final report made by
Miss Julia C. Stlmson, who headed
the army nursing service abroad. Be
tween May 8, 1917, and May SI,
1919, 10.245 nurses out of a total of
21,480 enlisted for .the war-saw ser
vice overseas. Three were wounded
In action and 268 died while on duty.
But the real work of the American
women commenced July 18, 191 8 v
with their own army when the final
German attack was stemmed and the
great victorious allied offensive
started. '
"From July 18 to November 11 the
amount of work done was such that
no praise would he great enough,"
Ml us etlmson says. "It was not at
all uncommon for nurses to work' 14
to 18 hours a day for weeks at a
time, and some hospitals with only
70 or 80 nurses cared for patients toj
the number of 2100. One hospital
had R.000 patients at one time with
70 nurses to take care of them. O in
curs, nurse and men worked them
selves to their limit df physical en
durance and that ljmlt was beyond
any which might he expected of hu
man beings,"
On Armistice day, 184.421 Ameri
can soldiers, sick and wounded, were
in 'hospitals, and there was a short
age of 8.925 nurses. The records
showed that the "peak" of wounded
was actually reached a"t "Sioeyes cen
ter on November 18, when 20,188 pa
tient were taken Into 10 hospitals
with 394 nurses assigned. The short
age of nurses was due entirely to
the fact, the report eays. that trans
portation had not been available to
get more Into France, so .great was
thj rush of combnt troops to the
front.
