There are some towns SO tiny
that only a few maps show where
they are, and so apart from the world
that few persons ever know of their
existence; yet richer in stories OF
the past than any great city OF the

where the present is nothing. the
past is cherished and Kept alive with
loving care. !..
Such a town is Aquia, Virginia,
within fifty miles OF the national

Providing Funds For
Neutral Hospital.

In the About People" department
of the March Woman's Home Com
panion appears a short article about
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney of New
York and the American ambulance
hospital in Paris. An extract follows
Shortly after the war began,
American residents in Paris eSta b.
lished in a government building in
the suburb of Neuilly the American
ambulance, more Familiarity known as
the Ambulance Hospital--as ambu-
lance in French means a military
hOspital-which holds the record for
efficient service. The hospital build
ing was remodeled by Carroll
Greenough. an American architect
The head of the hospital, DR.. Win
chester Dudouchet. and the entire
medical, surgical and nursing staff
are Americans. Even the Orderlies
and the chauffeurs who run the do
mated American motor ambulances
are young Americans
The work Of the hospital has been
greatly furthered by the generosity of
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, formerly
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, who has
undertaken to provide all funds need
ed to maintain cooperating field hos
pitfalls on the shifting battle front, and
who has gone to France TO familiar
ize herself with the urgent needs of
the service. Her first consignment of
supplies included 10000 blankets. and
10 automobiles manned by volunteer
drivers serving without pay. DR.. Wal
ton Martin of St Luke's hospital.
New York, and other leading surgeons
have gone to the front, where they
have established different hospital
Units which have already saved many
wounded soldiers by giving the inn
mediate aid that in so many cases is
indispensable to recovery. This neu-
trail hospital has won a reputation
both in France and Germany for
comfort and the highest percentage
of cures, and it is quite usual for Of
ficers TO request that if they are
severely wounded they shall be sent
to the American Ambulance
