In response to requests for informa-
ton as to the first steps to be taken by
the American Red Cross society in the
event Of war between the United
States and Mexico Miss Mabel T..
Boardman. chairman Of the national
relief board, in statement points to
the $500 enrolled and ready trained
nurses of the Red Cross who could be
modified very quickly. She also ex-
plains that one of the first moves on
the part Of the Red Cross would be to
establish reserve hospitals for sick and
wounded soldiers and sailors on the
gulf coast, the Atlantic coast and the
Pacific coast.
"Such hospitals" says Miss Board
man, might be established at Calves
ton, at some point on the western coast
and probably one in the vicinity Of
New York for men that could be trans
ported greater distance. AS the Red
Cross would act under the orders Of
the war department. such hospitals
would be in charge of an army surgeon.
with other surgeons Of the army medi-
cal reserve. The Red Cross would pro-
vide nurses and equipment for such hos
pitfalls. 1t is also probable that it would
be advisable to provide hospital ship
for the navy and one for the army.
"The medical personnel of these
ships would be organized in the same
way as those Of the hospitals. The
Red Cross would appeal to chambers
of commerce, boards Of trade and 9TH
er such bodies for the support Of the
hospitals and ships"
