Only a short time ago a little band of faithful women wearing the dark

They sailed just as the soldiers sail, knowing little or nothing of their actual destination or of the nature of the xork that awaited them. All they knew was that they would find suffering to alleviate, and. true to the spirit of nursing, they answered its call. Refugees from Roumanla and Serbia hare eought shelter In Greece, where they are lMng In detention camps and In towns and Tillages along the border in a state of destitution and suffering.

So quietly and effectively has the Red Cross done Its work that few Americans know that 2,000 nurses trained la our hospitals are now aerying in war atrlcken countries. Not all these nurses are caring for mounded soldiers. Many are doing the same thing they did in this coun-

The thought of the deprivations they must face themselves and of the hardships in dealing with people whose modes of life are strange to them never occurred to these nurses when they volunteered for service. Their only thought was that these forsaken people needed their help, and they went forth gladly to give it It is estimated that there are more than a million destitute orphans in France. 'l'hes children must be saved If the nation Is to be preset-red. and the task of helpiDg to save thousands of them is falling to our public health nurses, who are experienced in infant welfare work. Amid strange surroundings, with none of the facilities for work that they are accustomed to, these nurses are doing their best to save the little ones of the gallant defenders of France. They are giving the mothers instruction In the feeding and hygienic care of their babies and striving to help them meet the appalling conditions which the war has caused. In France there are said to e approximately 600,000 persons stricken with tuberculosis, which has become as great a menace to the country as German bombs and bullets. These people must be cared for and taught the necessity of preventative measures or else the national life wlil be undermined by the disease. Again, American public health nurses are finding their opportunity here. Numbers of them are already engaged In tuberculosis work, visiting the sick In their homes and instructing them, to care for themselves and prevent infection. The departure of gToups of blue clad nurses from this country Is quiet, but 'reauent. None but the Red Cross m-

Hospitals are giving thera up gladly, public health associations are helping tbem to get away, but at the sam time the countr-y will miss them. The gaps they leave must be filled. The only way to replace a trained nurse 13 by another trained nurse, and the Committee on Nursing of the Council of National Denfenso at Washiogtoa is urging patriotlo young women, graduates cf high schools and colleges, to enter our recognized schools tor nurses and undergo training that they may take tha placts of those who car answered the call of their country.
