MORE NURSES
REQUEST FOR 100 NUR-SBS TO GO IN TWO CONTINGENTS. 'A hundred more trained nurses arc to be sent from Now' Zealand for service in tho military hospitals in Egypt or elsewhere in tho Mediterranean war zone. A.statement to this effect was made by the Prime Minister to a Domijtion reporter yesterday. "A telegram has been received from the Imperial authorities," said Mr. Massey, "to the effect that the War Office would be glad if another 100 trained nurses could be sent from New Zealand to Egypt. Cabinet decided to-day to send tlie mirses as requested, and in all probability they will be sent as passengers in the two hospital ships. As you know, the Marama will leave early in December, and the Maheno, which is expected back hero to recondition, will leave a month later. We havo information that these nurses can be spared from New Zealand. Dr. Valintino is of opinion that we can allow those nurses to go without impairing tho efficiency of tho public hospitals, and Miss Mac Lean (Matron-in-Chief of the New Zealand Army Nursing Service) says there will bo no difficulty about enrolling that number of trained nurses from the number whose names aro now on the list of volunteers."
