New York, Oct. 26.—With the aid of city police departments and of women who have volunteered to make house canvasses, the names of many women who have had nu ing experience have been added to the rolls of the nurses’ survey now being made by the Atlantic Division of the American Red Cross, Although actual work on the survey was bekun only ten day ago, the lists at the disposal of the Red Cross have been used to provide over 200 nurses to combat the influenza epidemic in this city and nearly 200 women have been found to volunteer for war work. The survey itself, however, does not entail work of any kind. All those who sign questionnaires or who en- roll as nurses are entered upon the lists to be furnished the War Depart- ment that it may know exactl the resources of the country The Red Cross took up the Wwork of making the survey at the request of r Department. Primarily the was to be merely a tabulation ng resources, but it has grown so in importance untii it is being used by the department in finding those willing to do war work during the coming winter. By using every source of informa- tion at its disposal, the Red Cros expects to record every nurse in New York, New Jersey. and before the survey ends. While it realized that the task is gigantic, early results are showing that nurse soon as they are found, are willing to enroll.

A statement issued yesterday from headquarters of the survey 44 Fast Twenty-third street, New York, 1s upon women who have done other Red Cross work to help and also asks for other women, who want to do war work, to volunteer. “We must enroll the Dr. Ernest C. Meyer, supervisor of the survey for the division,” and we must use every means at our disposal. “In many of the larger cities the police are co-operating with us by asking new women voters, when they verify registration, if they have had nursing experience, While this s tem has helped us a great deal, we find that the work is lagging in small- er districts because volunteers are scarce. “We would like all the women who can give even an hour of their day to this work, to ask their local chap- ters for assignments.
