Paris Nurses for Overseas

PARIS, March 23. – Three Paris young ladies have been appointed nurses for the overseas forces – Miss Dorothy Jefferson, Miss Kate Graham and Miss Marian Heath. They are all trained nurses and for some time past have been very anxious to leave for overseas to do their bit for their country. It is chiefly through the instrumentality of J.H. Fisher, M.P., that their wishes were granted. They will leave for the old country very soon.
