The Verein Frohsinn society
of Weimar, Colorado county,
has decided, by unanimous vote,
to discontinue serving intoxicat-
ing drinks in its hall, to open
its membership roll to all loya
American citizens, to conduct
all meetings in the English lan
guage and to donate to the Red
Cross all profits which may ac-
crue to the society, which plac-
es Weimar in the forefront as a
patriotic, liberty loving commu-
nity.
Of the eighty or ninety thou-
sand registered nurses in the
United States (Jen. Gorgas esti-
mates that approximately thir-
ty thousand will be needed for
service in army hospitals the
present year.
Included in the heavy artil-
lery assigned to corps of Amer-
ican field army command* rs will
be whole brigades of anti-air-
craft guns, mobile howitzers of
6-, 8-, 10- and even 12-in h cal-
