Approval Is Certain. Chairmen Stone and Flood and which probably will be made public in debate, were regarded as convincing. l Although sentiment remains strong In both branches to have the war declaration extended to Turkey and Bulgaria, approval of the resolution as It stands is regarded as very certain.

The outbreaks of measles at the cantonments, followed by the resultant complications, including pneumonia, have increased the need for additional nurses at the hospitals established in connection with the camps. At least 500 trained nurses are wanted at once. After a recent inspection trip to one of the camDS with a high sick rate the Burgeon general reported there had been 3.000 eases of measles. At the time of his rislt there were 300 cases of pneumonia in the hospital. The height of the measles epidemic is over, hut pneumonia does not develop for some time after the incidence of the measles, so a considerable number of cases of pneumonia may be expected. The pay of nurses is $50 a month pnd maintenance. Application should f>e made to the superintendent, Army VminA Prtwrxr. Hfillti KiiilrlfnAP W O oVi I n fT? AIUISC V^VipS, XU.11IO UUlIUlUt,!
