To Have American Nurses Wounded American soldiers are now to be under the .care, of American nurses, even though they are taken to French military hospitals, the At lantic division of the Red Cross an nounced recently. Some Americans who had been taken to French hospitals from parts of the front where they were brigaded with French troops found themselves amonir nurses and physicians speak ing a strange language and jumped to the conclusion that they had been cap tured bv the Germans, while others had difficulty in making known their symptoms and needs to French-speak ing attendants. These difficulties have been overcome, it was stated by the Red Cross, bv a plan under which an American nurse and an aid speaking both English and French have been placed in every French hospital. The aid also attends to correspondence for the wounded men. Sends American Nurses To care for American wounded sent from French sectors to French mili tary hospitals the American Red Cross has assigned one of its nurses and an aid. sneaking both English and French, to every hospital caring for American men. , Before these nurses were assigned. some of the men who had been fight ing in French regiments arrived at institutions where no one could speak Enelish. and consequently the men were handicapped in describing their svmotoms and making clear their needs.
