Hospitals at Army camps and can- tonments still need nurses to bring the quota for each up to the mini- mum of 65 considered necessary, al- though since the urgent need for nurses was made public in December nearly 2,000 requests for application blanks have been received. In order to.get the enrollments up to the needed number some of the re- quirements heretofore imposed have been waived. According to estimates there are between 80,000 and 90,000 registered nurses in the country and about 200,000 other graduate and prac- tical nurses. Call for Bricklayers for Work France Goes to Boards. The first requisition under the new selective-service regulations is for bricklayers. In sending the call the Provost Marshal General asked for 1,000 men to fill an urgent need of the armies in France. Only white men are wanted. They report to the aviation section, Signal Corps, Kelly Field, San Antonio, Tex. Various Materials Used to Provide Equipment for Fighting Men. Raw materials of many kinds are needed for the equipment of United States troops. Jute, silk fur, and lin- en, all find their way into the uniform of an infantryman, in addition to the wool and cotton which are used in greater quantities. A half ounce of silk is used in the standard yellow gloves and a slightly larger quantity in the riding gloves. Silk is also found in the service hat and undershirt. Linen enters the equipment list in only one article, the elter tent. Jute is used is breeches, ‘m, and overcoat; fur in the service hat. Mussel pearl, ivory nut, and bonme form the buttons on different articles of the uniform. Aluminum is used in the bayonet scabbard, canteen, cup, knife, and meat can. In the slicker are nine and a half ounces of rubber. Horsehide and leather, wood, iron, steel, bronze, brass, zinc, copper, tin, and lead are used in various articles. Registered Men May be Inducted In- to Air Service. While men registered under the se- lective-service law are not being ac- cepted at recruiting office for enlist- ment in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, they may be inducted voluntarily into service by their local boards if they are physically fit. sufficiently skilled, and not required to fill the current draft quota. They will be sent to Camp Kelly, Tex., for distribution into trades, training, and formation into squadrons, with ranks and salaries running from $30 a month as private to $81 a month as master signal electrician, food and quarters provided by the government. Reports of Peace Proposals Not Induce Ame Preparations. In a revent review of military op- erations the Secretary of War says: “The various reports of immediate peace proposals by the Germans on seemingly favorable terms should not for a moment induce us to slacken our preparations for war. It is only nec- essary for us to recall that during the Christmas season last year the Ger- mans put forth very similar peace rumors.” Should a to Slacken War Examiners Find But 15 Per Cent. of Men Wear Shoes That Fit. Figures from examinations made by Army and civilian shoe experts at Army camps show that only about 15 per cent. of the men wear shoes which fit properly. Of the several groups of men examined 28 per cent. wore shoes one-half size short, 26 per cent. wore lest war news in the Hearst-Pathe weekly completes the bill.
