CANTEEN SERVICE FOR SAMMIES IN FRANCE Red Cross To Serve Boys In The Front Line Trenches The American Red Cross has just arranged to establish with the American troops in France a front line canteen service similar to that through which they have served more than a million poilus with hot drioks during the last six months, according to a cable just received by the War Council from Major James H. Perkins, Red Cross Commissioner to France. This will consist of rolling canteens stationed close behind the front line trenches. There are n "e*?en of these operating behind linao frwm yvMoJi fiftv or more . ilUVDy VJUA " f receptacles of hot drinks are sent forward daily, usually in the small hours of the morning. These drinks are served free to the men going on or coming off duty. This service has proven of such value to the French that the American army has asked the Red Cross to have this service directly in touch with the medical relief stations nearest the front. The work is often done under heavy shell fire and requiresmen of great bravery and sympathy. The American army officers are manifesting a keen interest in having this service at the disposal of the American troops and have asiked the Red Cross to enlist a substantial number of men of the highest caliber to undertake this work. It will be performed at the point nearest the firing line at which civilians, are permitted. NURSES NEEDED IN MILITARY HOSPITALS Surgeon General Asks Red Cross To Supply 5,000 Nurses * * V "W x . Surgeon General Gorgas of the United States army has called upon the American Red Cross to supply to the Army Nurse Corps five thousand nurses between now and the first of June. These nurses are needed for service in the military hospitals both in this country and abroad. Although the Red Cross has already supplied viasv.1v 7 /VIA nnpodc no tt rocprvp frvr UU4U1J l,VVV uu&uvi^ u> 4vwv? x/ *v? the Army and Navy Nurse Corps since the beginning of the war, the impera< tire need for a greater army of nurset grows daily as the war progresses. According to a statement made by Surgeon General Gorgas, it is estimated that there are between eighty and ninety thousand registered nurses in the "United States, and that approximately thirty thousand will be needed for service in army hospitals during the present year. The immediate need for fire thousand of these is emphasized. Miss Jane A. Delano, Director of the Department of Nursing of the American Red Cross said: "Not only are we appealing to tlye nurses to volunteer for this service, but we also appeal to the public and to the physicians employing these nurses to aid in making it possible for them, without too great financial sacrifice on their part, to hold themselves in readiness to respond to the call of their country. "We wish also to bring to the attention of nurses the unusual opportunity offered by the insurance law enacted for the protection of our army and navy, which applies equally to nurses assigned to duty as members of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps. "A great responsibility rests upon the nurses of the country. They are the only group of wcmen recognized j as a part of the military establishment, and should be looked upon as'the rep resentatives of the -womanhood or America at the front. "Not only should the other women of the .country encourage nurses to , volunteer for service, but they should make 'every effort possible to protect the nurses holding themselves ready for service and share with them the responsibility and sacrifices necessary." ( . . _____ i Great Wheat Stocks Isolated. It's the shortage in ships that is putting the Allies and the : United States on wheat rations. Great stocks of wheat are isolated in India, and Australia. At i great sacrifice in ship space and use the Allies are forced to secure some wheat from Argentina, On January 1, Australia had stored 100,000,000 bushels of wheat that was ready for export?but there were no ships. , Then came the new crop with j an exportable surplus of 80,000,000 bushels. Now Australia has approximately 180,000,000* bush- i els waiting for ships. India, at tne same uujc, uau i ; 70,000,000 bpshels of " wheat | stored for export During April 50,000,000 bushels more out of the new crop will be added to the pile. Argentina closed the last ship, ping season with 11,000,000 bushels of wheat left In the stock available for export The new crop will add 135,000,000 to the left over. It 1b not a problem that the wheat does not exist in the world?It Is entirely a problem of shipping, which has thrown on America the obligation of dividing our stock with the Allies. n l i Born to Mr. and* Mrs. T.
