me a reasonable sum down, say. $50,
and the remainder years royalty and

country, for l will stand by you In

their hearts for America and for the
American people. they would. l know.
not only wish to help, but would wish
above all that Washington. of all other
cities, should be represented in what is
being done here in France.
The sights one sees here after
great battle are never to be forgotten
the ambulances draw up before the en-
trance door, stretcher after stretcher.
each with it's CHASTITY burden of suf-
fering, is tenderly borne to the re-
ceiyine hall, and there we have our
first sight Of the wounded men.
And what a sight-bandaged limbs.
bandaeed heads, uniforms covered with
blood and mud, men almost unrecog-
nizable from their awful injuries. men
almost exhausted after long. long
hours Of transport by rail, but never a
groan, never a complaint. always the
same astonishing courage and forti-
tude. always the same murmured
thanks for the refreshing cup that is
held to their lips, and always the
thankfulness that they have been
been brought to the American ambu-
lance.
THE fame of the ambulance is known
throughout the far-f1ung battle line.
and our greatest reward is to know
that the wounded feel that they are
more than fortunate when they are
brought to US. I well remember one
splendid young fellow. barely twenty
eight years old, lying on his stretcher
and covered with his blanket. After
giving him long draught of boutilon
and the inevitable cigarette, which is
always asked for, and after receiving

his thanks. and thanks given with
smile, what was my horror to ma that
both his legs had been blown away
below the knees. that he had lain for
two DAYS on the field. and still he
thanked me and smiled. Can such cour-
age be surpassed? This is the rule. not
the exception. This man has now re-
covered, generous Americans have pro-
vided him with artificial limbs ana ne
is now learning to walk again in one
Of our convalescent hospitals. And
then the awful injuries to the face
men with scarcely semblanoe Of hu-
man beings-these are the most horri-
BILE of all.
But such is the skill of our surgeons,
such the unremitting care. that these
men after months and months of treat
ment are discharged, not human
wrecks, horrors to themselves and to
their loved ones. but with features re-
stored by the marvels of modern sur
gerry, again At to resume their place in
the community.
And, then. there are the blind; these
are the most pathetic of all. Picture a
young man full of life and vigor led by
nearer and dearer. To see a wife cheer
ing and encouraging her sightless
husband, and to know that her heart
must be breaking and that she knows
there Is no hope: that the light is out
forever. Then you know what the
women are doing and suffering in this
awful war. There is heroism at home
as well as in the trenches.
But I have already too greatly tres
passed upon your space. Again let me
ask the people of Washington to arouse
and assure for Washington her place in
the great work. 1t is great. 1t is
worthy, 1t should appeal to all.
Contributions, however small, how
ever munificent, should be sent to be
credited to the Washington ward fund
of the American Ambulance Hospital,

York. MARGARET COX BENET.'
I think that there is nothing more to
add.

my friends and upon all good Wash
ingtonians to help that she may take
her place in this great work
Il feel that could the people OF
Washington see this great hospital, and
the truly fine work that is being done
day by day by volunteers who care for
the brave men manned and wounded in
the defense of their homes and Of
liberty and civilization, they would
give for the mere joy of giving in
so noble a cause. No great sum is
necessary that Washington should be
represented-a ward of ten beds can
be supported for six months for $500:
for a year for twice that amount-and
that a great city like Washington, the
capital of our country, cannot con-
tribute so modest a sum is unthinkable.
New York and Boston support large
wards of forty beds. Philadelphia, Chi
cago, st. Louis and Cleveland each sup
port several of the smaller wards, and
generous individuals support beds
bearing their names or the names OF
dear ones gone at an expense Of $500.
And these generous donors are amply
repaid for their sacrifice not only by
the feeling of doing good. OF relieving
human suffering that must be seen to
be understood and realized, but by
learning from the nurses in charge Of
the men whom they are aiding and by
receiving, often, letters from the men
themselves
Associated with the ambulance from
the first day of its inception, | feel that
a great privilege has been mine to aid
in however modest a degree this great
and magnificent work. If the people
of Washington could only see the
patient suffering of the brave men who
are brought to US. with not a murmur
or complaint in spite of terrible and
CHASTITY wounds. their gratitude for the
skill and care lavished upon them, the
feeling of real affection that grows in

most important is the American Ambu-
lance Hospital. The main hospital at
Neuilly, near Paris. contains 625 beds,
and nearly 500 additional beds are pro-
vided at Juilly. and in the subsidiary
hospitals in the environs of Paris. over
100 motor ambulances are constantly
engaged in transporting wounded at
the front.
"All of this vast organization. which
has saved thousands of lives and relieved
untold and indescribable suffering. is
supported by voluntary contributions
from home. and several hundred Amer
leans have for the last twenty months
given all that is best in them to the
relief and care of the wounded. Some
have sacrificed their lives in this work
some their health; all their time, their
money and their best efforts. The Amer
lean Ambulance is recognized as a
monument to American sympathy for
the suffering and to American sym
pathy for France, her former ally in
this her hour of need.

Neuills suburb handed it over to the
Americans for their hospital, as the
most honorable situation in or around

And. truly. it is a grand work. 1t

hospitals and automobile ambulance
squadrons evacuating from the front
and doing continuous service In

and evacuating the half-cured to/con-
valescent homes in the suburbs.
1t is a gigantic work, with many de-
partments, and ten American cities
maintain permanent wards in it, which
bear their names. Later on. when
Americans go touring again through
France, they will be surprised and
touched to be received like brothers
