Student Nurses
Begin Training
At Army Camps
Young Women Being Sent
to Twenty-two Military
Posts for Instruction
In twenty-two United States army
: camps at widely separated parts of the
country, there will arrive every few
days for the next several weeks, groups
of women who are going to remain
with the army either here or in France
for the duration of the war, according
to The Associated Tress. They are
student nurses-members of the first
, training units of the Army School of
! Nursing that has been established to
help solve the problem of nursing the
i sick and wounded that will be in action
! by next spring.
Already more than 1,000 women be?
tween the ages of twenty-one and
. thirty-five, all graduates of high
i schools or colleges, have been accepted
m this branch of the military service.
If the country's womanhood continues
to respond to the appeal for student
nurses now being sent broadcast by
the Red Cross and the women's com
I mittee of the Council of National De
: fence, there need to be no fear as to
' the care that will be given to our boys,
! say the women leaders.
For Army of 5,000,000
The Army School of Nursing, to?
gether with the Red Cross enrolment
of the civil hospital schools through
; the United States Student Nurse. Re?
serve, is the answer to the great nurs?
ing question that confronted the coun?
try when it was decided to put not less
than 5,000,000 men under arms.
Figures received here by Miss M.
Adelaide Nutting, professor of nursing
and health at Columbia University and
chairman of the nursing committee of
i the Council of National Defence, show
I that more than 4,000 young women had
applied to enter the army nursing
school by September 10 and that up
1 ward of 1,000 actually had been en
; rolled.
The first thousand are beginning
their training by helping to take care
'? o*" "casualties" in the camps to which
the training units are attached. As
soon as they have reached a suitable
? stage of training they may be sent to
: France if it is found necessary to sup
1 plement the force of graduate student
! nurses there. In any event, they will
receive two years' training in army
! hospitals and obtain the degree of reg
i ?stored nurse by taking the third and
last vear of their course in a civil hos
| pital.
20,000 Letters Received
, Interest in this opportunity for
women to help in winning the war is
i so widespread that nearlv 20,000 let
j ters of inquiry have been received by
\ Surgeon General Gorgas.
Training units of from thirty to
I forty students each have been assigned
to eighteen army camps, from Massa
I chusetts to California. Each unit has
' a director, an instructor in nursing
and a dietician. The students receive
everything free and, in addition, an
allowance of $15 a month. A recrea?
tional director sees that they are pro?
vided with entertainment and sports
' for their off-duty hours, and there are
chaperons. The central headquarters
\ of the school is in the office of the Sur?
geon General, at Washington. The
dean is Miss Annie M. Goodrich, chief
inspector of army nurses, who is as?
sisted by a large staff.
Including the 16,000 already in act?
ual service, more than 27,000 graduate
nurses have been enrolled in answer to
General Gorgas's plea for 25,000 by
January 1. If it becomes pceessary to
supplement the graduate nurses abroad
with less completely trained women, it
is expected that a sufficient number of
the army nursing school students will
be ready in time.

By Heywood Broun
No American playwright has written j
such sparkling light comedy dialogue
ns that of Roi Cooper Megrue's "Tea
for Three" since "The New York Idea"
| was first produced here ever so many I
years ago. The new play at the Max
I ine Elliott crackles as if its author i
? has shuffled his feet on a thicket carpet
I in winter weather. For two acts every- |
! thing he touches gives olf a spark. Tjje :
, play falls short of being definitely dis- I
tinguished drama only because Hie plot
trails otT into trickery at the end.
We have always known that Megrue
? was a skilful builder and he has proved :
j on several occasions that he could ;
| write theatrically cffectivt dialogue, I
| but nothing before has been as deft !
i as this. For two acts it is all light;
i and dancing. After the curtain came
1 down we Were sorry that Megrue hud ?
? sc definite a leaning for theatrical con
| struction. It seemed a pity that he
! had been engaged in furnishing a sur- ?
? prist finish. After all that was an anti
i climax. Nothing which the author was
j able to make the characters do could j
? be half so surprising as the things j
? they said. There was ample suspense ?
? merely in the talk of Megrue's people. '?
j We didn't care half so much how the
j play came out as how any number o?
! its lines would turn. Here were happy
] endings in abundance.
Perhaps there is no theatrical task
> as difficult, as good light comedy dia
i logue. In the effort for wit there is
? an ever present danger of epigram.
I An unattached epigram is an awful
I thing.
It may serve well enough to sell al
soup or a shirt or a cigarette, but il
has no business in the mouth of a
; person in a play unless it can be defi?
nitely associated with the character.
j In (>t her words, it must have the air
; of belonging to the person who speaka
j it and not to the author. Of course
' we will note an exception for Shaw. ;
Megrue's dialogue is rarely epigram?
matic and consistently characterized. ',
Moreover, it, is smart. The people in
the Hatton plays ought to be appren- ;
I ticcd out to the characters of Megrue's '
: play in order to learn the lesson of
combining wit and breeding. 'We -
recommend twenty years, with a little
off for good conduct.
Good actors are needed for eood talk.
j Arthur Byron keeps up the momentum
of "Tea for Three" and never loses a
point. He has not yet quite settled
into his characterization. Now and
again he hammers a bit too hard.
Frederick Perry seemed to us the most
I finished member of an excellent cast,
but Margaret Lawrence ran him a close
second with a thoroughly delightful
performance. The other two charac?
ters of the piece are minor, although
William Postnance as the valet con?
tributes a good deal to the fun of one
of the best scenes.
"Tea for Three" concerns a wife,
her husband and another man. The
husband becomes unreasonably jealous
of the other man. who contrives, with
the aid of the wife, to teach him a
lesson. A weakness of the plot lies in
the fact that the joke which is played j
; upon the husband seems to come close
| to tragedy. It is true that all theatre- :
wise folk may feel tolerably sure that
' everything will come out all right m
the end, but two of the characters in
the play are deceived as to the real
I situation. Their poignant and sincere
grief at the supposed death of the
: other man cannot fail to communicate
itself to the audience. This mood i-->
, not suitable to the spirit of the play.
'It loses effectiveness to a marked de-.
groe, therefore, in the last act.
Even if we were sure beyond a doubt
'that this criticism were just, and
! heaven Knows we have no belief strong
i enough to shout it very loud, we should
not stress the point. When a play?
wright has furnished enough delightful
i talk to savor a dozen dramas he should
be duly hailed as a benefactor. Speak
?ing, therefore, on behalf of one man
: who saw 'Tea for Three" last night, we !
'ask Mr. Megrue to consider himself
! hailed.
: "Lucia" WeTl Presented
No matter what opera the San Carlo '
| Company puts on, the Schubert Thea?
tre promptly hangs out the "S. R. O."
: sign. Last night it was "Lucia.'' poor,
?lear, modern Lucia di Lammermoor,'
! with a new soprano in the part, Miss
I Queena Mario. Miss Mario has a voice
and a dramatic temperament. She was
: too nervous last night, to do herself
i justice in the mad scene. Romeo Bor
cacci was excellent as Edgardo. Signor
Antola was the Ashton and Signor He
Liassi the Raymonde Amedes Barbieri

Senate Delays Water
Power Leasing Bill
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.?Further
delay in final enactment of the Admin?
istration water power leasing bill was
forecast to-day by strong objection in
the Senate to sending the bill, recently
passed by the House, to conference. It
was insisted that the measure be sent
to committee and treated as new legis?
lation. No action was taken, and the
debate will be resumed on Saturday.
Discussing the |>ill to-day, Senator
Borah, of Idaho, Republican, advocated
elimination of the leasing provision by
which (lower rights would be turned
over for private development, and ad?
vocated unrestricted public ownership
and operation. He predicted that with?
in two years the policy of the present
Administration, which now is in favor
of the private leasing system for a
term of years, would be reversed in
favor of public ownership1.
The House recently passed the bill,
which was drawn under the supervision
oi the Secretaries of War, Interior and
Agriculture, as Administration legisla?
tion. 'I"he new bill was passed as an
amendment to a hill of Senator Shields,
of Tennessee, on the same subject, and
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, asked that
it. he sent to conference. This met ob?
jection because of the possibility of
occasioning unnecessary delay.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Sec- !
retary of the. Navy, who has been in I
France and England, was taken yester- j
day to the home of his mother. Mrs.
James Roosevelt, 47 East Sixty-fifth

lowing Spanish influenza. He was re?

The case of pneumonia was said to
be a light one and Mr. Roosevelt's con?

contracted influenza on the voyage, and
his case is said to be one of several
that developed on the trip from Eu?

however, will be delayed for several
days.

"The spirit of comradeship between
your navy in European waters and
ours, both in administration and oper?

States bearing witness to the sincerity
of our brotherhood in arms and unity ,
of purpose."
Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com-i
missioner, conferred yesterday in his
office with transportation and theatri?
cal men on an anti-sneezing campaign ;
which he intends to launch as a coun?
ter offensive to the Spanish influen'za.
Those present offered cordial co?
operation to prevent unguarded coughs
and sneezes from spreading germs in
public places, and "The Subway Sun"
will issue an "extra" dealing with the
matter. The following placard will be
posted prominently:
"To preven? the spread of Spanish
influenza, sneeze, cough or expectorate,
if you must, in your 'Handkerchief. You
are in no danger if every one heeds
this warning."
Forty-seven new cases of Spanish in- ?
fluenza had been reported yesterday to
the Department of Health. Of these
all but ten were positive and the oth irs
were suspected case.-. Five of the
positive and the ten suspected cases
were found in Manhattan, three in
Queens, one in The Bronx and twenty
eight in Brooklyn. Of lit?se in Brook?
lyn, seven were private cases and four
woro in hospitals, while seventeen were
of men from ships and military camps.
Of the seventeen last, mentioned, thir?
teen of the patients were taken from
one vessel to the Kingston Avenue
Hospital and two of them have the
complication by which the disease
sometimes becomes fatal, pneumonia.

German Officers
In Belgium Accused
Rotarians Heai
Mrs. Basil Clark, an American worn
an, who saw the imperial German arm
march down the streets of Br?ssel
four years ago, and lived in that cit
while it was under German militar
domination, spoke yesterday at th
weekly luncheon of the New Yor
Rotary Club, telling of the almos
hourly horrors she witnessed.
Shortly after the invasion of Be
gium Mrs. Clark and her two sor
joined the forces of Mr. Hoover, wh
was conducting the work of Belgia
relief. She saw the deportation t
many Belgian girls, whose fate
slimmed up in the requisition found c
the body of a dead officer at a lat?
date. This was a paper demanding
girl for his orderly. It read: "SI
must be eighteen years old, blond ai
weigh MO pounds."
Mrs. Clark was also present in soi
kitchens where ii was necessary
weigh persons requesting food to a
certain if they had lost weight befo
supplying them.
At one time she saw a little girl w:i
two ''.?id one-half hours with lier ey
fastened on the soup kettle, and tin
she wns denied food. Whole neighbo
hoods were made responsible for t
misdemeanors of individuals, said Mi
Oar! . if one man violated any of 1
numerous military orders whole coi
munitics were punished, sometimes
death.
"The First Liberty Loan was t
worst blow dealt the Germans." sa
Mrs. < 'larlc. "Coming in contact with t
Germans as 1 did at diplomatic fui
tions which we were forced to aite
b? fore we cnti red the war, I learn
that Germany scorned the power
the United States. It was thought tr
we wore not only incapable of raisi
an army, but that wo were so mon
mad that we would refuse to gi
financial aid to the Allies."
Mrs. Clark made a strong plea i
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
This is the first luncheon at wbi
the Lotary Club has been addressed
women.
