RUSHING OUT CELIA
 TINE. Orders for High Explosives for Coast Mines and
 TOrpedOeS.

There will be plenty of high explo- sives for the mines that will help pro- tect the harbors of the Pacific Coast and for the big dynamite guns out near the Golden Gate. Yesterday the Giant Powder Company began work at its plant across the bay on a large rush order for ''gelatine" just received from the Government.
 The material is a preparation of nitro-glycerine of extremely high ex- plosive power, and when prepared for shipment is in cubes from two to sev- eral inches each way and is packed in pasteboard boxes. As the stuff is sup posed to just go off all at once and rip everything in reach when a button is pressed for a submarine mine or a tor pedo, or a dynamite shell strikes the enemy, it doesn't have to be prepared with the extreme skill that Is required for smokeless or brown powders for heavy guns. It is simply a raw high explosive prepared for heat tests, and as prepared it can be handled quite safely. One can safely drive nails in the tough gelatine chunks. The out put will be rapidly distributed by the army officers about the various points along the coast where mines may be laid or torpedoes used, and will re- enforce the supply already in the mag azines. Some of it will doubtless go into the underground magazines for the dynamite guns

 Members of the National Guard and volunteers to defend the flag will come from all parts of the State and it is the intention of the organizing committee to call for organizations in every city, town and hamlet in the State for the common cause. Leaders are wanted to start the organizations It Is to be a State affair and if possible national one with the object of cooperating with the medical department of the United States army and of placing the whole organization under the leader ship of Miss Clara Barton, who Is fore most in the work of the Red Cross in America.
 The people of Benicia stand ready to assist in the State organization. The following letter gives hint of what the people of that little city are willing to do:

A CREDIT TO THE STATE

Dr. w. l.. Berry, formerly of the Re- ceiving Hospital, is a great friend of the Red Cross Society, and heartily ap- proves of the work undertaken by The Call. He will do all in his power to aid the work of the local society. In refer ence to the organization he said yester- day:
 Nobody can better understand than a doctor the value of trained nurses in the field. It is a fact that laymen can be taught enough in a few weeks to render them very value.D.e on the 4Ielu. This teaching reoder~ them able to carry off the wounded and to minister to them while they are on the way to the pase hosplta4s.

THE WORK AFiELD.
Rabbi VOOrSan3er on the Necessity for the Red
 Cross.

Rabbi Voorsanger lectured last night at Temple EmElanu-El on the Doctrine of the Sanctity of Human Life" In touching upon the war issues the Rabbi spoke of the necessity of sanitary com missions in the following words:
 Our women have already bestirred themselves to noble action. They be- lieve in the sanctity of human life. I touched upon that phase of the ques- tion last week and I did not realize that my words would be needed so soon. Upon woman rests the duty of minimizing the consequences of war Woman is mans strongest support in all the exigencies of life. Her moral strength. her patriotism, and endurance are greater than ours. If mans strength, her patriotism and endurance rent, woman's represents the patience of the dripping stream that in time cleaves the rock. Nowadays she goes to the wars as much as the man. The vivandiere has passed out of existence to make room for the nurse. The bar
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-23

The Calls movement for the organi- zation of a sanitary commission for field work is a success. The local Red Cross is now an established fact, and details of the organization will be per fected in a few days. Governor Budd will appoint the first committee to per feet the work at an early date.
 Nothing ever suggested to the public has met with such universal and hearty sympathy. Clara Barton, the illustrious founder of the Red Cross in America, the woman who was cheered by the learned Swiss and Italian delegates at Geneva for her intelligent devotion to the cause of the suffering on battle fields, will receive a large army of vol unteer workers from the Pacific Coast.
 San Francisco and the State will hon. or their glorious names by the part they play in the organization and work of the Red Cross for the coming war. Representative citizens are enlisted in the movement.
 Responses have already been heard from enough trained nurses to guar antee a formidable array of expert talent and the ranks will grow from day to day.
 More than two hundred nurses have signiffed their willingness to give their services to the cause of humanity in the conflicts that may arise. The or ganization will be made permanent and the Golden West will have a substan- tial Red Cross Society for future emer- gencies, whether in peace or war.
 The nurses who have already volun- teered their services are mostly gradu- ates of the training schools of the city the Childrens Hospital, the Waldeck Sanitarium. St Luke's and the City and County Hospital.
 pr. oscar J. Mayer of the French Hospital, pr. W. L. Berry, pr. John Gallwey and many other medical men have signified their willingness to de- vote their time and attention to lectur- ing to and otherwise aid in training laymen who desire to volunteer in the important relief work on the battle fields and at the base hospitals.
 The following well-known citizens, among others, will be appointed by the Governor to act on the committee of organization and to take steps to put the local Red Cross Society in good working order:
 Mrs John F. Merrill. 1732 Washing ton street; Mrs. Louis Sloss, 1500 Van Ness avenue; Mrs. J. G. Clark, 1101 Green street; Mrs. Willard B. Har- rington, HIS Sacramento street; Rabbi J.

commendation of the work being done in the matter by The Call. In reference to the work of volunteers and the Red Cross the doctor said:
 Tt is impossible to overpraise this faithful band of workers. They do a service that is inestimable to surgeons in the field. The greatest part of their labor is in the first dressings, which save a great number of lives and en- able a number of soldiers to go in the field who would otherwise be lost en- tirely or greatly disabled.
 Trained nurses are very valuable, for they can do as we'll in many cases as the surgeons. Even the most ordi- nary untrained volunteers can be in- Structed in two or three days how to stop hemofrhages and bandage wounds in such a way that number of the wounded are able to go ahead and fight without much delay or great incon- venience."
 Dr. Farrell says the sanitary and hospital corps is in pretty good shape now, and it will be placed on much better footing as soon as affairs are shaped up with the Governor.

A STATE SOCIETY.
Every City and Town in California to Have a Red

strength.

A Red Cross society in California is an assured fact. Governor Budd has said so, and the surgeons of the Sani tary Corps of the National Guard have given their assurances that it is ur- gently needed in view of the impend- ing call of the citizen soldiers to arms. Every city, town and village in the State should now prepare to organize branch of the movement. Scores of trained nurses have volunteered their services and should they go to the front they will have to be supported. Money and clothing will be needed for them and for supplies for the sick. and wounded. Of course, the army takes care of it's wounded and sick, but the medical supplies only provide what is absolutely needed. It does not give the many delicacies that the sick and in iured crave. It does not supply the many comforts that can only come from the loving ones they left at the homes they went to the front to fight for. The Red Cross Society is to sup ply all that and the organization can- not be too great. AS soon as the com mittee that Governor Budd will call to1ether agrees on plan and what Will be required tuoSc lilteI eoleu III liic work will be notified through these col umns. In the meantime let organiza- tions in every part vf the State be formed and be ready to respond at the first call for assistance.
 Governor Budd will issue call for the meeting of the committee to-day, and the ladies and gentlemen who have signified their intention to him to act will in all probability be called together on Monday to organize the commission and a Red Cross society. Surgeon Gen eral Hopkins of the California Nation al Guard will have conference with the Governor to-day and draft an out line of what will be urgently needed by the medical departments of the mi litia organization in case it is called to the field. and it will be the first object of the proposed organization to supply 1t. The National Guard as it is now has the best equipped sanitary corps of any militia organization in the Uni ted States; still, it is deficient in many respects. Colonel Hopkins says twelve ambulances are required. As many field surgical cases are needed and a like number of cases for hospital work are wanted and wanted badly if the call to the front comes. Then there will be needed a quantity of bandages and surgical dressings, as we'll as large

ORGANIZE AT ONCE.
Dr.. John GalIwey, an En- thuSiaStic Champion
 of the Red Cross.

pr. John Gallwey, brigade surgeon of the sanitary corps of the National Guard, is enthusiastic about the forma- ticn of the Sanitary Commission and a Red Cross Society. Tt is grand and a most humane movement" he said. Tt on the field will relieve war of many of it's horrors and give great relief to many an anxious heart at home. By all means let it be organized, and the stronger it is the better. Skilled nurses and many of them will pc wanted in the coming battles. I believe the war we now have upon us will not ba t matter of a few weeks, but of months, and it is well to be prepared. Even If the war should be short and the services Of the proposed Sanitary Commission 1re not needed no harm will be done. But on
