The article presents developments related to the military and war. Nurses have not hitherto had proper recognition in the military organization of the United States, and it is much to be hoped that Congressman's bill to gave them military rank will receive the prompt and favorable attention of the U.S. Congress. This is not mere matter of form, but touches directly the efficiency of the service, for at present the nurse is surrounded by orderlies who are not obliged to take orders from her. The proposed measure follows somewhat Canadian precedents.
