COLORED TEAMS WILL
TAKE ACTIVE PART

Realizing that the proposed new
negro hospital will be of especial value
toWhoir race. and also realizing that
the efforts OF the white people to pro-
vide them this building call for ac-
tivity upon their part as well, 81 score
of the bctter-known members Of the
negro race in Richmond met last week
at the headquarters. and there. in con-
ference with the secretaries OF the
campaign. and with Mrs. y. V. Ran
dolph. who has always taken a very
valuable interest in the colored race
plans were laid for an intensive cam
Daign among the negroes by members
OF their own race. Teams will be
formed, meetings held and luncheons
will be held for the colored workers
at which inspirational addresses will
be offered and enthusiasm aroused.
While the proposed negro hospital
does rank first in the public interest
which its plan has aroused, yet there
is great feeling in favor of the pro-
posed contagious hospital and the
nurses home, all of which are asked
for during this campaign. People
thoroughly in touch with the condi-
tons affecting hospitals realize that
efficient service cannot be had without
the proper environment surrounding
the nurses. and the need for the con-
tagiouS hospital is readily apparent
when il is stated that absolutely no
provision for such cases. outside Of the
so-called smallpoX hospital, can be
found anywhere in Richmond

SPLENDID WORK OF
AMERICAN WOMEN
PRACTICALLY ALL WAR HOSPl-
tai PATIENTS CURED OR
IMPROVED


LONDON, Feb. "a. Ninety-eight
per cent of the wounded soldiers treat
ed at the American Women's War hos
pital have been cured or improved, ac-
cording to a report just issued on the
second thousand case handled by that
institution The hospital is at Paign-
ton, South Devon, with Sir William
Osler, formerly of Johns Hopkins, as
consulting physician, and DR.. Penhal-
low as chief surgeon.
The report shows that of the surgi-
cal cases sixty-three per cent were cur
ed and thirty-three per cent improved.
The same percentage of cures and I'M
provement were secured in medical
cases In the thousand cases there
were FIVE deaths. or considerably less
than one per cent.
The promptness with which relief
is given to men on the battlefield inn
mediately after they are wounded Is
brought out by the statistics OF the
report OF the total wounded cases,
one quarter of them had received i'm
mediate first aid field dressing. and an
additional thirteen per cent had re-
ceived this field dressing within fif-
teen minutes. Another twenty-five
per cent had been treated on the field
within one hour of being wounded
while a small remaining percentage
were treated within Ia rev hours, and
very few after a long delay OF forty
eight and seventy-two hours.
Gas-poisoning is one OF the princi-
pal causes of the cases treated, and

WAR BABIES ON THE
INCREASE IN HOLLAND
MARRIAGES ARE ALSO ON THE
DECREASE IN THAT
KINGDOM


THE HAGUE, Feb. 24.-The war
baby, about which there was so much
talk in England at an earlier stage of
the war, is not unknown in Holland.
While the Netherlands are not actual
ly at war an army of over 100000 men
has been quartered in all parts of the
country since August l, 1914. The
official statistics, just issued, conse-
quently show that there was an in
crease in the number of illegitimate
births in the first ten months of last
year, although not considerable one
and not recorded in every province,
two or three of the provinces even
showing decrease as compared with
1914.
Another point of interest connected
with the war is that a smaller num-
Der of marriages have taken place in
this country since the first days OF the
mobilization, particularly in the south
ern provinces, which adjoin Belgium
and have therefore seen most of the
wars ravages.
