RMS WANTED
Will N'enl lletwecn Thirty and h>ny
Thousand Nurses for American
Army 'lone
Th*- Department of Nursing of the
American lied Cross, the mobilize g
agency for nurses in military service,
is in urgent need of recruits. Tin
present average of enrollment is inoo
a month. Out this enrollment, heavy
as it is. will not be suffclent to kts-p
pare with the military needs of the
government.
It has been estimated by the Sur
geon General's office, that if the war
continues, within a short time the
.led Cross will need between thirty
and forty- thousand nurses for the
needs of our army alone. The allies
are also depending upon us to supple
ment their own nursing service.
There are between 80.000 and 90,
000 registered nurses in the United
States at the present time. Approxi
mately 16,500 of this number are en
rolled Red Cross nurses, the majority
of whom are in active service, ready
for mobilization, or prepared for spe
cific service. It is the Red Cross en
rollment which forms the reserve of
the United States Army Nurse Corps
and the United States Navy Nurse
Corps.
According to Miss Jane Uelano.
Chairman of the National Committee
on Red Cross Nursing Service, the
fact that the recruiting of nurses is
not keeping pace with military needs,
does not indicate that the women of
this country are "slackers’’ in the
nursing service, hut merely shows
the sudden and extraordinarily heavy
demand for nurses has not been thor
oughly realized by the women avail
able for nursing service.
Already the Nursing Service of the
Red Cross lias equipped and sent
abroad 1,790 nurses for service with
the Army and Navy Nurses Corps;
has provided about 2,500 nurses or
ganized into units and practically
ready for mobilization.
In addition to the nurses serving
with the Army and Navy Nurse Corps
56 Red Cross Public Health Nurses
are on duty in the sanitary zones sur
rounding the cantonments; 89 are
serving directly under the American
Red Cross in France; 12 in Rouman
ia; 3 in Greece, and one in Serbia.
By careful adjustment, the Nurs
i ing Service so far has met the de
mands of the government in furnish
ing units of nurses for military, naval
and public health service, without
seriously disorganizing the ranks
from which they have been taken. But
as these demands grow daily, a ser
ious problem arises in home nursing
for civilian needs. It has been estimat
ed by the Army Nurse Corps that ov
er 30,000 nurses will be needed on
the basis of present estimates for an
army of 1,000,000 men.
This situation is made doubly ser
ious because the conditions of war
which take wage-earners from the
homes and nurses among the civilian
population, with decreased facilities
for guarding its health,
i Since the entrance of the United

At The Bank.
A Call to
Every American!
"Isn’t there something that I can do to help end this War?”
Yes! And at the same time benefit yourself.

Begin now to buy them. Behind them are the entire resources
of the people and the Government of the United States.

pounded quarterly. You can always get your money back when you
need it.
