S." of the Army and Navy Corps or the insignia of the Red Cross, over 2,000 American Red Cross nurses have set sail for Europe, since last Easter, on their supreme adventure as soldires of life. -They have slipped off quiet ly, as the soliders do; under orders of< obedience, like them; for any length of service-that the war may last, like them; in the face of danger and hard ship, prpared for any sacrifice to pro tect the lives of our men. *Their tasks today are the very em - bodiment of the Easter message. In our celebration of the day this year, most Americans wil have in their hearts the thought of France with their men and our and our Allies' in the trenches; our nurses and theirs and the Allies' nurses at their posts; our flag, with theirs, in hundreds of French churches; Easter hymns in hospitals, chapels, cathedrals, refuges: for the homeless; the sound of choirs mingling with the soundI of guns. Many nations are singing th e Triumph Hymn, and in the hospitals of many nations trained women are exempli fying the Easter miracle ofilove. And throughout all the warring nations, c ntries are calling for more nurses.

An American Red Cross nurse w sailed on the ship "Red Cross" thr years ago and served with the ui of American Red Cross nurses in hospital at Kiev, has told of th< preparations for the Easter feast. F weeks and weeks before they h spent all their spare time color eggs for their peasant-soldier-patien Every evening in the dining room z ter supper the gay work went on, f there were to be six eggs apiece f the 500 patients in the hospital, ai as many thousands as could be g for~the Russian soldiers at the froi To the peasants they had a joyous i igious significance, and meant th they shared in the Easter festivz and they were, beside, reminders those four days which were the crow ing point of every year before t var, when every house in their vill ges were open to the members every other house for feasting, f loving kindness, for sharing in the z igious exaltation of the time. Full of gratitude, the Russian pe pe asked them to attend the Mi night Mass on Easter Eve in the c thedral; an invitation the nurses a epted, taking witl. them as many their wounded as were able to g Miss Minnegrode has told of tI rowded icathedral, the awe of t] siniple, wounded peasants in the care, the music, and of how as t bells of the clock struck midnigI the priest hblding aloft before the pe ple the sacred image, pronounced t. rvords: "Christ is Risen;" and then the triumphant burst of song, the j of the people, their salutations ea to each, "Christ is Risen!" f the war memories of Easter cou he written down by Red Cross nurs xhat a revelation they might be Le universal heart of the wor] .ursing as a profession is being call< by many names in this war. Son all it a science, some an art, a, ome a ministry. This is what oi thinks of it in the wards of the gran< lesses-the severely wounded. There is one nurse, a Frenchwor n, much too busy and overworked know that her name is known throur France. and who has had one of tho: sternest tasks of war, the care of me blinded and mutilated. To have see Uhem-to have seen her-to know eve alittle of what she did is to have one spirit quickened by new visions. Tihs woman, and she is a your 'oman, on the very first day that si bathed them, and fed them--oft4 having to invent strange means f those so cruelly crippled-used to ser her spirit of courage and hope out1 meet theirs. She did it in a hundri vays. If their eyes could see, thel vas a smile, or a flower, or, 91e f fruit, or a scrap of lovei4 solo anything, anything she could find< levise that was diffeffrent from ti things they had been through. If their eyes could not see, but the ears could hear, there was a worc, phrase of song, a sisterly or mothe Lvendearment-so quiet-oh, so quie sometimes there couldn't be any re ponse-sometimes not for very mar lays when the faintest fluttering< spirit answered. But the gallant sol f that nurse began her ministry wit he first day, and with every serv1< he garnered a little more knowleds f her patient-some boy or me alled on to do something so minriti Ly harder than to die. And, as the days or weeks or mont] passed, often she had learned ti ame of Jacque's mother, or sister .< sweetheart, or, as so ogten happene I he had none; or if those he had ha en lost or kille<Lin the invaded terr y. And all the time she was learn ng too +.at his trade had been befoi :hea. and what were the things I ked best to do. She had a wonderfi nterest in all her visitors and in ar iid of relief work they might be ei -ged in. Again and again after tall .n to them she foundLin them the s< Luion of Jacque's or Pierre's problel f independence. One way or anoth] shewold find a person who throug ome other person could secure son ooeted information. or railroad far All this time she was replacing hot tere hopelessness had been. And tI spirit of her became part of ther 'he visitor to her ward saw me 1iimed almost beyond descriptic -tting ready to take hold of life. In the most vital sense the nurse he representative of us at home, wi annot go abroad to our men whe :he are suffering. And so the ri uirements of her going, and the fii ares concerning the number of nurs4 eede for our men are co.nnected n imately vwith our own lives. Even though over 7.000 America edd Cross Nurses are now on act13 utt in military and n:aval hospita n in public health work at home ar brad. thousv.-ds more will be nee< d;; over 30,000 it may be, for our a: 1 alone.

We dare not picture -hortage of trained nuns< brought from the ba ur hope is~ gingi n our men are1 svc irice re:uired of her is too great. And she must bo made to decide alone. The public must help her by making the conditions of her going as fair as 3, it is humanly possible to make them. ndt is n't fair to hold her back; nor is a- it '-trive the advantage to the thi oUn- 7omen in reat numbe are - es nnding whloeeartedly to the hos I-lit-' needs by f:Lling in the ranks of ed the tmnin schools.

Over he 50,000 women have completed the Red Cross course of fifteen lessons in "El ho ementary llygiene and Home Care of ee the Sick," which was established by .it the Red Cross to aid women in caring a for the minor illnesses in their own iome. College women are recruiting or ! students for the special courses in Id|nurses' training to be given at Vassar Ig and supported by the American Red s- Cross this summer. Credit will be ,f- given for this work in the regular or hospital training schools, thus short or ening the period of training and has-, id tening the date of readiness for active ot! service at home and abroad. Inter t. collegiate Alumni from every State 'e- are expressing their keen interest in at this significant exnerinctf.
