VARIOUS MATERIAL FOR
EQUIPMENT FOR FIGHTERS
Raw material of many kina*
is needed for the equipment of
United States troops. Jute, silk,
fur and linen all find their way
into the uniform of an infantry-
man, in addition to the wool and
cotton which are used in great-
er 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 under-
shirt. Linen enters the equip-
ment list in only one article—
Copenhagen says that ^Russia’s jbreeches, coat and overcoat, fur
representatives arrived at Brest ln #lwa v,nt

ister Trostzky accompanied the
delegation.
Official confirmation of this
report is lacking, but probability
is lent to it by the fact that nei-

Mussell, pearl, ivory nut and

ferent articles of the uniform.
Aluminum is used in the bayon-

nine and one half ounces of

avoid.

CORPS OF ARMY NURSES
MUST BE INCREASED
According to estimates based
on an army of 1,500,00 men, 37,-
500 nurses will be needed. The
present strength of the Army
Nurse Corps of the Medical De-
partment is about 3,800. To in-
crease this number by nearly
1000 per cent in a year is the
task faced by the army corps.
Hospitals at army camps and
cantonments still need nurses
to bring die quota for each up
to the minimum of 65 consider-
ed neoeesary, although since the
urgent need for nurses was
made public In December near-
ly 2,000 requests for application
blanks have been received.
In order to get the enrollment
up to the needed number some
of the requirements heretofore
imposed have been waived. Ac-
cording to estimates there are
betweeen 80,000 and 90,000 re-
gistered nurses ln the country
and about 200,000 other grad-
uates and practical nurseq.

EXAMINERS FIND 85 PER
CENT WEAR MISFIT SHOES
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 that fit pro-
perly. Of the several groups of
men examined 28 per cent wore
shoes fully one half size short,
26 per oent wore shoes a full
size short and 8 per cent wore
shoes two sizes short.
Reports ascribe the high pro-
portion of misfits to the inclina-
tion of men to choose shoes too
small, faults of method, and su-
pervision of fltUng, insufficient
numbers of larger and narrower
sizes, and incorrect marking of
sizes by manufacturers.
CALL FOR BRICKLAYERS
FOR WORK IN FRANCE
The first requisition under
the new selective service regu-

sending the call the Provost
Marshall General asked for 1000
men to fill an argent need of the
armies in France.
Only white men are wanted.
