Paris. October 15.-tCorrespondencC
or The Associated Press. Equip
ping railway trains for hospital serv-
ice Is q new development OF charity
IN France In which Americans are TAX
ing an active part. During the recent
re organization OF the entire hospita
service. the need for properly arranged
trains TO transport the wSunded from
the front to the hospit;.lJ located
th. oughout France became evident.
The first step in impr wing the serv'
ice was the addition TO each train o
a car equipped with an operating table
and surgical supplies so that woundet
soldiers might be treated during III,
journey from the front to the perma
nent hospital perhaps hundreds o
miles away. One of the first cars 81
attached to a train was freight chi
rebuilt at the expense of Mrs. Wash
ington Lopp. She contributed thu
money to Commandant F. Loiseluer
In charge of the temporary hospitals
at each OF the railway stations o
Paris and of the construction yard:
OF the State Railway, and then re
Quested others OF her friends to pro
vide money for the same purpose.
To date a number of Americans have
helped. one car having been fitted
up by money sent from Hawai-
through DIR. James r. Judd an,
friends. Among other Americans thu
contributing are Walter b. Hardy o
Chicago and Mrs. Emory II. johnson
of Philadelphia. AS result OF the re
building OF these first freight cars To-
this purpose, TO date no less than fift.
cars have been remodeled with none!
contributed by individuals or cities o
France So great has been the use o
these cars to the military surgeoh
that the war department has author
ized the placing OF one with each O
the $50 hospital trains now i'm serv
ice in France. ... b
Stimulated by the example OF thes
Americans. Madame Marguerite Carre
the singer wife OF the director Of tn
I Comedie Francatise. has just equippe,
an entire train of II cars with none,
she collected. This magnificent trail
known as the Carre train No. 10, \
believed here To be the model hospita
train of the world. The train has jus
made It's maiden trip to. the front u
charge of DIR. T. Tizon, who has beeI
I'm service more than year. He ha
stated that 800 wounded carried u
the train were transported under ad
, mirable conditions and without tn
the loss of single life. 80.
Service as physicians and nurses v
these trains promises to become a
popular among helping foreigners a
that I'm the hospitals and ambulance
corps. .... 80

ally and neutral nations now serv
ing In the hospitals and ambulanc
corps number no less than 1000. o
