More Than $4,000 Women Are
Engaged in Looking after
the Wounded and Sick.

PARIS, Feb. 15.-There are now
66,449 women in the French Red
Cross volunteer army, equipping
1900 hospitals with an aggregate of
$4,000 beds. The Red Cross flag
now flies over 2SS buildings in Paris
| alone.
The Society for Aid to Wounded
Soldiers, the largest OF the three Red
Cross organizations, and the origi-
nator of the work in France in 1864,
spent thilty-two million francs dur
ing the first seventeen months of the
war. The society has operated T96
hospitals, consisting of 67.DG beds,
and given a total of twenty-one mil
lion days care to wounded soldiers,
Besides these hospital. the society
maintains hospital of 500 beds at
Saloniki, ninety-three refugees estab-
lished in the sixth and twentieth mil
itary regions in France, seventy in
firmaries in railroads stations and
forty-fve railroad canteens.
The cost OF maintenance of hospit-
ais varies so much that is difficult
to establish average cost per capita
per diem, but as near as can be cal
culated this society has brought 1t
cost down to little over three francs
day.
The Union, des Femmes de France,
the second in Importance of the Red
Cross societies has now 2S.446 nurses,
equipping 355 hospitals, with $4,000
beds, while the association des Danes
Francasises has 10000 nurses, in 800
hospitals with $4,000 beds
The mortality among the Red Cross
nurses has been remarkably heavy
considering the character of their
work and the immunity they are sup
posed to enjoy under the internation-
al regulations. Twenty-Five members
of the Society for Aid to the Wound
ed Soldies have given their lives to
the cause, some of them killed under
shell fire. others carried Off by con-
ia pious diseases. The nurses of this
society have received sixty.three cpl
demic medals, sixty war crosses and
one cross Of the Legion of Honor. me
first Red Cross victim OF the war was
Mademoiselle Susanne GILES, who
fell at Luneville with her chest torn
by the fragments of shell that burst
inside the hospital ward where she
was attending wounded. The next was
Mademoiselle Cagnard at Cambria,
who is declared to have been shot
point blank by Prussian soldier FIR
ing into the hospital through the win
dow. During the bombardment Of
Rheims seven women Of the Red
cross became victims OF The bonn

bardment, including Madame Fon-
taine-Faudier, Mademoiselle Cause
and five Sisters of Charity.
Many women of the Red Cross give
attention to men at the front who
have no one to remember them at
home. One member Madame Riche-
lot, the wife Of Doctor l.. G. Richeot,
is god-mother to 900 soldiers, which
constitutes a record to date.
Regarding the state of mind Of
wounded soldiers now in the hospitals
after sixteen months of war, Madame
Perouse, president Of the Union des
Fcmmes de France, says: They sup
port their suffering admirably and
are much more anxious to return to
the front than were the wounded in
the hospitals last year at this time.
They talk about active Service with
an enthusiasm that Is contagious"
Monsieur Justin Godart, under-sec-
rotary for war in charge of the SAM
tary department OF the army, has
just replaced the society women of
the Red Cross serving as nurses in
some of the military hospitals by paid
Independent nurses. The choice of
nurses outside the three Red Cross
organizations developed considerable
comment. but there was in this no
reflection on the devotion of Red
Cross nurses; neither does 1t bring
their efficiency into question. Paid,
trained nurses are more adaptable to
military discipline, which must pre-
vail in all military establishments.
Most of the women who devote
themselves to hospital work are from
the easy classes; the" are necessarily
SO since they are required to give not
only their time and sometimes their
lives, but also their money to the
cause. Some of them pay largely for
the privilege of serving their country
as sorts of maids Of all work; Others
pay more dearly for the privilege Of
working as surgeons aids and as
nurses, Few of them were, before
the war, accustomed 10 the hard worN
of housekeeping, and some of them
have learned its most elementary
principles in the hospitals.

A. J. Moore has returned to Minot
from Albuquerque, New Mexico, max
ing the 2,O00-mile journey in a Dodge
car. He reported fine trip. The
Dodge was equal to every test. Mrs.
Ida Chaplin and sons, Orwell and Oliver,
who spent three years in New Mexico,
returned with Mr.. Moore. Others in
the party were Mrs. Moore and Mrs.
Ladema Enos of Herkimer, N. Y, the
latter being a sister of Mrs. Chaplin.
They visited with another sister en-
route, Mrs. Murphy Of Waynoka, Ok
lahoma. This is the first time in thir-
ty years that the three sisters had seen
each other.
The party passed through the Pan
handle in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska, South and North Dakota,
saw some fine country and were treat
ed fine all along the way. They camp

products from the farmers enroute.

they passed, but they saw some excel

he finds occasion to pay Minot a visit
at any future time.
Dan Conan Of Sanish, who is visit
ing relatives at Burlington, was in the
city Monday. Dan says that the town.
site of Sanish, according to the gov
eminent survey, will occupy site
about one-fourth of a mile east of the
present location of the buildings
which have been constructed and occu-
pied, pending the determination Of the
exact site and as consequence it will
be necessary to move all these build
ings this summer. He was in the city
for arrangements with McDougall,
an expert in this class of work, and in
all probability the firm Of Glib & Con-
an, with McDougall's assistance, will
have charge of the major portion of
the work of moving the buildings. Dan
says that agents of the government
are everywhere about the reservation
engaged in detecting any infraction of
the governments regulations regard
ing the sale of liquors. The restric-
tions imposed upon people dwelling on
the reservation are very stringent.
One of the Sanish BARRIERS was even
obliged to discontinue the use of bay
rum in his business.
