UTAH'S women are just as patriotic patri-otic and just as willing to serve their country as are its men, and they are proceeding to demonstrate this by applying for enlistment en-listment as nurses and such other positions posi-tions as are open to women in Uncle Sam 's war service. Yesterday two graduate nurses of the Salt Lake county hospital staff, Miss Margaret Swan and.

At the local regular army recruiting station it was rather quiet, yesterday, but the officers in charge reported four men as enlisting during the day. All of these were for cavalry service. Naval Station Busy. It was at the naval recruiting station sta-tion that the greatest signs of activity were noticed. "This office was crowded with men all day and the work became so heavy that the regular force was unable un-able to handle it. Tho .result was that Lieutenant Guthrie has been authorized by the headquarters of the western division di-vision to call upon reserve meu for assistance. as-sistance. Some of these were called into the service yesterday and several men came in from San Francisco to take up their duties in this station, among them J. Marshall, chief boatswain's boats-wain's mate; G. Lewis and J. L. Slate, water tenders. They were sent here from the office of the inspector at San Francisco. Lewis J. FTederickson, who enlisted in the reserve corps yesterday, was immediately im-mediately called tor service in connection connec-tion w'ith the local office. Two men on furlough were called to duty also. Five new men, who were enlisted yesterday, were sent to the station at fian Francisco Fran-cisco to go into training at once. "We are getting applications for enlistment en-listment from all sections of the state," said Lieutenant Guthrie. "It seems that the navy appeals to the young men here more than the army, and we are receiving re-ceiving applications from many young men who have had military training who want to enter the navy. They really might get better places by entering enter-ing the army, considering their training, train-ing, but they seem to prefer the navy." Speaks to Varsity Students. Lieutenant Guthrie said yesterday, after two nurses from the county hos-piral hos-piral had applied for enlistment in the female nurses' corps, that at least one of them, who wanted to enlist for active ac-tive duty, would probably be given a chance to enlist as soon as instructions can be received from the department. Lieutenant Guthrie is planning to call upon the ministers of the city to hold a "Patriotic Sunday" observance next Sunday, so that the young men of the city may be urged to enlist in the army and navy for training and preparedness. prepared-ness. Dr. Littell yesterday addressed the students of the University of Utah on the subject of the coast guard defense, naval reserve No. 4, hospital apprentices, appren-tices, first and second class, urging the girls especially to train themselves in first aid work,' so they may be prepared pre-pared to play their part in the eventuality eventual-ity of war. After the address more than a score of the young women students stu-dents signified their desire to join a class in first aid instruction, and Dr. Littell agreed to organize this class April 11. All the girls of the school will be asked to join such classes, and the doctor doc-tor announces that, if necessary, mQre than one class will be organized. Clarence F. Hastings of Philadelphia sauntered into the United States navy recruiting office yesterday and asked if the fact that he played "brass" in a circus cir-cus for thirteen years would be considered consid-ered a sufficient experience to entitle him to play for the sailors on a warship. He was apprised by Lieutenant E. Guthrie that musicians are just as valuable an-adjunct an-adjunct to a battleship as a marksman, and his application would be welcome. Hastings then qualified. He had his cornet cor-net under his arm. |
